I like that website alot, and they do VERY good reviews, but 2/5 is honestly rubbish. I somehow always had a feeling this game would do badly. Fallout and Oblivion get 5/5 on that, with new vegas getting 4/5 (which is pretty much very good).

Honestly, I say stick to making single player games. This game was a complete flop and im disappointed

Sounds about right.

G4...

Good reviews...

Pardon?

Edit: Didn't mean that to sound rude or anything, sorry :tongue: . I just haven't looked at G4 as a particularly good source for legitimate gaming journalism over the years.

I will second that.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Im starting to read the comments on that review, apparently no one agrees with the reviewer. Hmmmm. I was never interested in brink anywya

Really good reviews are you trolling they write the worst G4TV overall is a bunch of rubbish.

*Laughs* I see nonsense like this all around the web so often it makes me laugh hard. Make your own decisions for godsakes. Rent the game before writing it off. Make your OWN opinion. I know, I know using your mind to make a decision instead of having someone else make your opinion and decision for you, What an insane concept.

I rented it and I agree with the rating.

Fixed your signature:

Typically if something sounds to good to be true it is, especially Brink.

Glad to hear you made your own decision . My comment was not aimed at you just in case you were confused.

So you think its insane for me to spend my money on say a load of 1/5 games that no one plays? Sorry but when I buy games I usually check out the reviews on metacritic or something and if its high up then ill buy it. I only buy high end games. To say that I must buy any game I want without looking at the reviews first is the insane concept good sir.

G4 is mainstream trash just like IGN,don't trust them..... :brokencomputer:

thats not what he is saying.
you are perfectly free to make your choices based on other peoples opinions.
however, going on to promote those opinions, without a first hand one of your own, is ridiculous and idiotic.

also, high end is relative. see http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion

I wouldn't say it is a flop, there are plenty of reviewers praising the game to giving it average reviews, people are just exaggerating this whole thing. I have really enjoyed this game thus far, even without friends it has been fun. So what is a site gave it a bad review? Boo-frickin-hoo.

I dont even have a problem with the bad reviews for the 360 version. With the "campaign", lack of multiplayer setup features, mediocre graphics and crippling lag the experience is not good right now and if anyone asks me Ill tell them to wait to buy it for now. I can see the good game behind it, but I can barely play it. Although I do disagree with the ones saying the gameplay fails.

More sites need to add a post-release section where they say what has changed over time with big patches and such, though hopefully the lag is in fact some lesser problem then the netcode needing some overhaul and can be fixed immediately.

The day I listen to "critics" about the quality of something is the day that the world stops turning. Critics are critics, but that doesnt mean they think and appreciate things the same way I do...

well said

Best. Game. Evaaaah!

I happen to play on PC; so I cant really rent it you know, thats why reviews get so popular in the first place, so get an idea of how good a game is BEFORE buying it

Well, i love it
I wonder if there is a link between, me hating CoD and loving Brink?

I so third that!
