Did anyone read the "Most Anticipated" section of the latest Official Xbox Magazine? Unless I'm an idiot and can't read, Brink didn't even make the top 25. I don't have the Mag with me, I was going to post some titles, but Brink was beat out by some pretty suprising upcoming titles...including the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.

Im all for the Lego's game, seems fun, but to beat out Brink...ouch.

I thought I saw it in an earlier issue but can't honestly remember.

That's...odd. Seeing as Brink has over 100,000 pre-orders on Xbox 360 alone.

Pretty sure if Brink got beaten by Lego pirates, they got something wrong.

what!?! :stare: they just stupid dont listen to them and more :down:

It should of at least been on the top 25, but i know for sure that lego game was up towards the top

Wait.. On a list of 25 games, 1/4 of 100 BRINK didn't even make it onto that list as atleast 22-25? :l

That is bullcrap, this can't be right.. How many games are there coming for the XBOX360 now? For what I know there aint that many commercialised and marketed games, or do they shove in a [censored]load of Kinecti[censored]?

And now I feel like I'm ranting like a madman, forgive me :l I'm not mad

Actually I remember it was down between 20-25...I think 23 truthfully but I could be wrong.

Yeah but then again the Lego games have like...sh*t I dunno seven games? As opposed to Brink which is a new series/game with new ideas developed by two companies that haven't really worked together before..I'm sure after release Brink will shoot up through the ranks and b*tch smack Lego Pirates off their high horse.

I so want that game (Lego: Pirates of course)
Lego: Harry Potter was good, but seriously BRINK should be top 5

Well, we'll just have to mess their guesses up by spreading the word about this game won't we?

More than LA Noire as well http://beertainment.tv/2011/05/03/americas-preorders-chart-30-april-2011-gears-3-dominates/

Do you have proof? ^ Nevermind

How many games made by Microsoft are in the top 25? Just curious.

Based on this link Brink is second to only Gears 3 in terms of preorders. I don't think we have anything to worry about :celebration:

Looks like OXM didn't receive its monthly bribe.

Not sure. If this thread is still around tomorrow I'll post all 25 but I do know Gears3 got #1 followed by BF3 as #2

Could Brink have been removed because it is about to be released?

Xbox players are lucky. You guys have about 150,000 more players then PS3.

It's based on subjective opinion and not numbers as far as i can see.

It was in the november issue if i remember correctly.. I saw it there.

On http://xbox360.ign.com/index/upcoming.html it is the 3rd most anticipated game for the xbox...

Thoose lists are very subjective, but not having Brink on top 25 sounds odd <_<

Its based on a poll taken, just recently, on games to be released after April 22nd.

On many magazine/review articles/sites, a games review can be expected to directly reflect either the already established hype, or how much the company said paid them to review the game. This has been going on since the dawn of time, and is how even a terrible game will get shining golden reviews. Most of said bad games are from companies that dump large amounts of money into these review sites, like gamespot and "insert console" magazine. Of course the hole effort is rather clandestine but known non the less. This is likely one of those scenarios. Either that, or its totally flunk and is based by popularity. Brink is, still, a little known title. Most of my friends know little to nothing about it, its not terribly well marketed and most of its hype was started by word of mouth and then the interested person looking into the game and finding the hype.

They didnt get paid enough be beth to be listed in the top 25 , A$$$$$$$N would of paid for atleast a top 5 spot :rofl:
