When i first saw it i was like Cool anything better then COD, now after seeing some Gameplay vids and getting info i feel like now i know its going to be GOTY
Honestly I don't think itll come close...sorry but with Gears 3, BF3, Skyrim and the New MW3...I don't think Brink stands a snowballs chance in a very hot place...just saying, those are some heavy, heavy hitters.
As for the Topic:
My excitement level has actually decreased a bit knowing some of the new things I've learned recently; decreased bullet damage, glowing weapons, wave respawn, buffs. It just went from a grizzled up Gears killer to a cartoony version of Gears with just as much lame sillyness, plus some.
Brink was always ment to be a Gears alternative (cus I hate it so much) and a "go between" between now and BF3...so it still will be but I have less expectations for it now. Currently, thats a bad thing for the game but as my sig. says...maybe itll be a good thing for me in the long run and I'll be pleasently suprised.
