Hello from Europe, should I buy Brink?

If you like pc shooters and enjoy what you read about it pre release then get it. I've had no lag issues online, and I've put some serious hours in since release. Yes the single player is lame, but both multiplayer modes(vs and coop) are a lot of fun.

Do you have a ATI card?

No updates, nothing yet. Real shame! I think I need to find a way to get my money back, do anyone have a clue how to do that? Because I've been sold a game that doesn't function well because something on their part, not mine as many others have the same experience. We have a law in our country that products need to work and not be broken.

As I said before I can run every new game such as Crysis 2 on highest settings both online and not online and it goes smooth. But Brick it's choppy, unplayable, 10 framerates or so.
UNJOYABLE!

And do please read all my replies before flaming me so you get the whole picture!

I will just uninstall this game because I don't see myself wasting more time trying to enjoy a game that I payed full price for. Really!

Real shame but as I said so many times in here, when games such as Crysis 2 and other new games work like a charm and this doesn't - then it's nothing to do with my hardware, it's the game design/code or bugs but I've spend enough time here now.
What a bad choice to buy this game for PC, for me.

Well the rest of you that don't have any issiues, good for you and have fun! I just picked up The Witcher 2, I will that will be less disappointing.

Yes, but not yet. If they fix all Bugs and boost the performance (and kill this *@!+ FPS Limit), than you should buy it.

It′s a funny game. To bad that some huge bugs can destroy your fun .

Sure, if you are buying it for the PC and if you are only doing it for the multiplayer

Game plays really awesome online and it's a breath of fresh air in a cod rambo world.
I'm pretty sure that further patches and DLC will make the near perfect for online playing.

(I'm only interested in the Brink PC version)

I've read the reviews, I've seen enough YouTube videos.
But maybe I could get a more honest opinion here because the reviews are really, well.. Some say this, some say that. Some doesn't mention this and that, what do I know.

I'm enjoying the fact that this is a team based game, +1 point there.
I'm enjoying the fact that it has such great deep character customization, 1+.

But I do read alot of comments about latency issiues, problems and problems. But one unique thing about the Internet is that there is alot of [censored]ing and whining about things then put out of proportions.
But hey, maybe Brink is a awful game that I should run away from?!

You tell me, I just want some personal comments here from you guys that already have the game.


If you love team objective based games and don't care about personal Kill/Death Ratio statistics, then you will probably like this game. Brinks structure is all about team and if you are the lone-wolf type you won't last long and it will be a frustrating experience for you. There have been lag issues, but honestly, most games in their first couple weeks of release have these issues. People are just so impatient, which is where most of the complaining comes from.

Just a warning. If you are hoping for a deep single player storyline and engaging plot, then this game isn't for you. There really isn't much going on with the story or plot, which I don't really care about. This game is all about MP and everything you do in single player carries over to your multiplayer character which is awesome. It made me want to play the campaign knowing that I wasn't missing out on any valuable experience in Multiplayer.

So if you like team objective based multiplayer you'll love this. If you like rich single player campaigns or love deathmatch style multiplayer then you might be disappointed.

If you decide to buy it, would love to see you do a follow up post with your opinion.
