yes i agree i cant wait till game devs use the motion scan in a game that has some good gameplay. but take all that away along with the graphics and script cut-scenes and noire is pretty bland in terms of gameplay. whats original about any of the gameplay its and old point and click game. you are getting blinded by the tech use to make it. if i want to watch a film i watch a film. if i want to play a game i play a game. brink is a great game to play. and that's why i got it. not for a story or cutting edge graphics.

Some people like shooters with no story, and some people like a good story with slow gameplay. Just because it's not your ideal type of game doesn't make it "terrible".

Yeah! Laugh at those people who like different types of games. They're so stupid with their opinions and preferences! HAHAHAHA

For anyone who actually paid attention to the advertising of Brink. The 'parkour' aspect is garbage.. you basically climb crates... which can easily be traded out for a jump button and an auto climb feature.

This game svcks though. I actually gave it to my friend because I knew i'd never be able to sell it, and taking it back to EBGames is to much effort.

I would trade Brink in for L.A. Noire, or any other game for that matter, in a heartbeat.

And what the hell do you mean L.A. Noire isn't a game? I don't suppose you'd think Myst is a game either then.

it does do more than climb crates but it's not as much as it seemed the developers promised. The game dosnt svck it just has difficulties and was released way too early.


he meant that because of the slow gameplay and uses of extensive cut-scenes, it doesn't feel like a traditional game.

Bethesda really does have a terrible fan base sometimes -_-

Granted, there are a couple of neat things you can do. But as you said, was not NEARLY as in-depth as they hyped it up to be.

And they based it around people playing as a team. Which, does NOT work well unless you are playing with a controlled group most of the time.

Do you have the xbox version of L.A. Norie? I play it on the xbox and experienced a texture pop ONCE, a game that long with just one very minor flaw is a rare occurance on today's market. However, I can see your point regarding gameplay but like many others have said, the games are only better than the games in their respective genres. In the same way you cant say CoD is better than Oblivion because they are tailored for different audiences. Brink may beat out a lot of other shooters because thats it's genre and L.A. Noire might beat...whatever is in the detective game genre...havent seen too many

Yes how dare those fiends not enjoy a poor fps. Here is another laugh for you, I traded in black ops. Cant remember what for, but it was totally worth it.

I find it pathetic you felt the need to make a thread just becuase *gasp* people have different oppinions to you.

*Gasp*

I hit 15th prestige in Black Ops in a few months and quit

But I sold my PSN account to a 12 year old for a $50 PSN card [didn't have any of my information or other games on it].

Heh. Stupid kids.

Black Ops was pretty bad though xD

I'll go ahead and second this.

You know some of us like a game with a good story, more then we like a game for its explosions and lulz.

:shrug:

This.

You get that different people like different things, right OP? :unsure:

But but. According to the post you quoted.. YOUR opinions and preferences don't matter either. Therefore your 'seconding' of said quote is invalid and does not matter.

HAHA I WIN

I am only mildly interested in L.A. Noire, which is still more than I can say about Brink.

Are all threads on the Brink forums like this?

seeing as how this has been said about 15 times in this thread lets move on to another point




SD cant be blamed for assuming us to act like decent people. It was naive yes, but not a terrible thing on their part. brinks Fanbase is whats killing this game fast though. The tech problems are being fixed slowly but being fixed, but the way the fans react is whats turning people away. "OMG CoD NOOBS YOU DONT GET BRINK OMG"

its only about 15% of the fans though :[ but ou 15% are ruining the game for the rest of us



yes sadly

Ah. Indeed, it isn't a traditional game, however, that does not make it less of a game.



I agree, there are a lot of people here (and people everywhere I might add) that are very closed minded.

I disagreed with him with multiple replys. I stated about a page ago that LA Noire is a right step for the video game industry as a whole.

page 2 about 4 comments down
"LA Noire is a positive step for video games as a medium. On top of that its coming from the bad kids themselves Rockstar. It shows that our medium is more than just interactive mindless violence. Coming from the people who make Jack Thompson favorite game to rub in everyone's face this is very good. Our Industry's bad boy company is showing that gaming is a real art form and is worthy of respect. They showed with LA Noir and Red Dead that video games can tell stories that can truly effect the way we see the world around us. On top they have proved twice now that video games deserve big budgets because both LA Noire and Red Dead made back there budgets and then some. La Noire had a 100 million dollar budget that's equal to and surpasses alot of Hollywood movies these days. From free internet flash game to millions of dollar pieces, this shows our medium is growing and maybe one day we can be seen as a true art form. I doubt this will be the game that makes people take games serious but without a doubt its a step in the right direction."

Oh, I know. That was a broad statement, not directed at you.

I traded in brink for noire.

None of my friends were interested in playing brink, so i didn't get to play it to its full potential. I also worked in loss prevention for a department store for 3+ years, so when I hear about a game that requires you to read people and tell if they are lying or not sounded like a potentially amazing game for me.

Sadly, I've been disappointed in how they implemented the tell-tell signs. Its not accurate/realistic enough for me. But its a good step in the right direction.

its hard to tell on the interwebs sometimes.

Well ZI made the same mistake with M.A.G.
They made this massive, almost entirely based around teamplay game. Which then died a horrible flaming DEATH [people still play I know. but when you take into account how many people were talking about the game before release. It's pretty sad now]. And the teamplay issue wouldn't be a problem if, well. The game wasn't full of it's own problems already. So you basically get stuck with people [censored]ing about the problems, and not playing as a team. I end up running around reviving people because i'v got nothing else to do. Lest I walk around by myself and walk into a wall of people who immediately [censored] my [censored] because my team want's to sit in corners diddling themselves.



I actually love this forum ._.
This has got to be one of the better game forums around. Atleast in this one, a trololol shoots himself in the foot, someone points it out and he walks away. He doesn't keep shooting himself in the foot :thumbsup:

This is Brinks biggest problem also. it lacks party/clan support and lobbys so your thrown in with strangers which in all but one match for me has been terrible.

The simple answer to this argument is just research a game before you buy it. Sure, there are no guarantees that you'll like a game just because you read some reviews on it, but at least you wont blow $60 on a game thinking its one thing when it actually offers an entirely different experience from what you were expecting.

It's not exactly L.A. Noire's fault some people might buy it expecting a Grand Theft Auto spinoff and then become disappointed when they realize it's actually a slower paced, scripted, detective type game.

Absolutely right. no one is coming into the brink community its just us left overs from the pre-order who are too stubborn to give up
