This is just amazing to me!
(sorry I don't have links I am typing this on my iPhone)

Go check out G4tv review, scroll down to the comments, majority are asking for a re-review and are bashing the reviewer, again... Majority!

Check out IGN's review on its YouTube channel, 82% gave it a thumbs down (Last I saw... 1,162 people were annoyed with IGN's review and hit the dislike button) and also bashed the reviewer!

I must say... Brink has a fanbase & a huge amount of individuals whom felt these reviews were "biased" /"rushed" and demanding re-reviews.

Talk about Defense!

I agree fully, the reviewers wouldn't have had the time to reach a good enough level and therefore are under-experienced.
I don't even think they put any effort in to be honest either.
On top of that the game isn't even fully out yet I mean at least wait for the full release and wait for the infamous Day One Patch.

Exactly

how many have the game though...there has been numerous hints the game would be a mess at launch and those reviews are probably the result of that. these reviewers have other games to review and if the review code was a bug riddled abomination they have every right to call it. why should they have to re-review something that has been a waste of their time?

i'm excited for brink...somewhat annoyed the launch date on steam is wrong, and more recently even more annoyed to see a friend playing it through steam via proxy. mostly because i don't know how to do so myself and i hate regional release dates.

still reviews are useless , read the review take in what they have said, not the number at the end. quite often you'll agree with various things they've said even if you dont agree with the score. if they mark it down for being too different from COD weigh that opinion against your opinion of cod. if they elaborated on that point further weigh it up.

that is how reviews should be used. not the number at the end.

Hey bud I here what you are saying.

But what I am surprised at, is, in my years of following games I have NEVER saw a huge majority of people stand up & defend a game (especially when it is a new IP)

The G4tv & IGN YouTube channel comments are hilarious. I suggest you read them at least.

What a devotion. Especially 82% hitting that dislike button. Usually it would had went the other way around 82% hitting the like button saying thank you for saving me the money. But not this time. Lol. Just wow.

Agreed. People use reviews like a drunk uses a lamp post, for support and not illumination. (ok, I stole that)
Take the points, but make the judgement yourself.
And don't get defensive! As the post said, this game seems to have quite a hard-core fan following (I'm one)
In the end, the game will be populated purely by people who feel the same way you do. Way more fun.

People are raged, because of the inconsistency in the reviews by them.
How can one say objectives in BRINK are repetitive but no one would ever say the objective/Rush in other games are not repetitive? I don't think blowing up two consoles at each phase is innovative. Yet, there are many people love to play it.
Just take Left 4 Dead series as examples, no one would ever criticize their singleplayer/bot AI/ multiplayer modes as in BRINK.
The reviewers are too biased....

if someone asked me to review COD i would give it a low score because i hate monster closets and the single player is entirely operated by tripwires. i'm a methodical player in single player. i eliminate the enemy one by one until i can safely explore the area. in cod, all cod's, the enemies keep wandering out of doorways, windows and trenches until i pass the scripted tripwire. this enfuriates me like you wouldn't believe. have i played that multiplayer...nope not interested, i tried once and due to newbiness got dead way too quickly, far too often.

your experience on the subject of CoD could be way different. so if we both reviewed the game mine would be a low score because of xyz. yours is upto you but it doubt the reasons would be the same.
