Honestly I have never played a game that launched smoothly the first week. You need to take into consideration how many different issues can arrive during a launch week with different computer specs among players. (360 and PS3 just needs optimized better). I play a lot of games when they first come out and this is one of the first times I have EVER seen a company actually post saying they are working on it within the first week. I truly believe that gamesas and splash damage are working their butts off to get this game in fully optimized functional state, and when they do this game will become just like TF2 and Unreal was. It will be an absolutely amazing game to play.

Cool story bro.
I would like to state the fact that a review of a game is a personal opinion, not a full out fact. It doesn't mean the game svcks.

Right now i am trying to remember a quote i was told a long time ago by my grandpa. Anyways i can't remember it, but it basically states that if you think something is gonna be sooo awesome, and sooo great, and sooo whatever else... it's about 99.99999% not gonna be near any of what you think or were told it was gonna be.
So what i am trying to get though to you people is that next time you shouldn't put money into a game until you've had a chance to play it first, or are willing to live with the fact that you may get something you don't like.
Derp

I learned this long ago when I bought a game my imagination was running wild about, and the game didnt live up to what I had though it would be like. Since then I never look at reviews and rarely keep up with development, that way I cant be disappointed as much by over-hyping it to myself.

Skyrim is an exception, because its including a lot of technical features that I have wanted in a BethGS game since Morrowind.

Yeah i think i was 7 or 8 when he told me this... ahhh 16 years ago.

To be honest to you all, we defend BRINK because it has potential to be one of the best FPS of it's time.
- Does it have bugs : Yes, not to many to piss me off but yes it does.
- On a Rating on One to Ten what is it? I would say 9/10.
- How long have you been gaming to call it THAT fun? About... Eight years.
- Do you think BRINK will better as time goes on? Absolutely, 100%.

And lets not forget BC2 started with about six and had horrible lag issues. Now it has lag issues a little, not to bad but enough to agrovate me. You just have to overlook the bugs. Also, maybe this game is'nt ur cup of tea, if it isnt then dont drink it. Dont moan about how it taste to somebody who likes it.

I wish someone would actually talk about aspects of the game and not just criticize my opinion.

I don't hate Brink, i think it could have been one of the greatest FPS's of all time as well. As of right now it isn't and thats my opinion, i would like to point out that this is also the opinion of most reviews i read, written by professionals who do this for a living.

It honestly makes me sick that the majority of you are unable to convey what you would like to say without insulting people.

Well i will agree there are bugs, i will agree with parts of what you have said.
But to goes as simplistic as you did i have to disagree.

So i will go over my points from your fist post.

AI - What you talked about was routes and taking objectives. So the AI is programed to stop you, and the most basic routes are well the most basic routes, so work around that by using less basic route.
My thoughts on the AL are that they are [censored] and on defendng they are over powered. Yes at higher levels and on harder difficulty's the AI teams will help you more, but not that much more to notice.
So i would say they are a mix of good and bad. They need work, its only been 5 days since the release.

Classes - I find each class has a purpose. Do i find one class over powered over the others, not really. I know there is one underpowered class and that is operative, at least thats what i think. But with good teams mates all classes should be about the same.

Levels - I have to agree that they need more levels. So you got me there. <--- ignore this if you were talking about the level cap, and not maps. because i think the level cap is fine.

Weapons - I think they are fine the way they are. I don't care for colour schemes my self so whatever to each their own.
Also attachments, you think that they are too "elementary". Well what would you like, new gas tubes, barrles, rails, stocks, stock shoulder pads, duct tape, shotgun underbarrles, radios, flamethrower, welding torch, loudener, bolts, triggers, trigger frames, hand grips, etc? If so, why not to make it so its a build a gun game?

Multiplayer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPN7_gGbyQU it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8h63DDClIU, but it sometimes doesn't. If my computer didn't crap out that had all my videos on it i could of uploaded and showed you 4 hours of straight none lag 8v8 game play. MAybe when i get it back i will.

Character Customization - There is a lot more then most other games. But less then was made to believe. So i can agree... kinda with you on this. But look at it this way, they have already release pre-order dlc's with guns and "clothing" does that mean there could be more to come? and maybe even they'll ask us what we would like to see.

Playing as an operative I never feel underpowered. Just because they don't provide such obvious buffs doesn't mean they aren't as good as the other classes.

I couldn't disagree with you more. I love all the weapons in this game, they all feel unique an they actually have recoil unlike many modern shooters. The character customization is 200x more than you will see in any other fps right now. All the classes are extremely fun to play as and they all have unique playstyles.

I just find that when i play as that class i am not doing much to help.
-Can't lay down a lot of fire
-Rarely get a good objective mission
-I die with this class A LOT

But might because i am a lower level with this class and it just bugs me to play. I can play the other classes just fine... but i am doomed when it comes to this class. As i said before this is what i think. There might be things i dont know, like how to use this class right.
If i did, then i would think all classes were good and fair.

Thanks you for that statement. It is the exact thought I am trying to state.......in as many threads as possible. This game, while mechanically fun, is a huge failure in the content and playability department. Free DLC is not what is going to fix it, simply telling people to play it in a manner they didn't purchase it is not either (less friends or whatever they are trying to push over as a FIX).

BRO? Did you just challenge me to a video game? Sorry KID, but I don't challenge people on games. I play them for fun. I play to have fun with friends.....exactly where this game fails. Your stats on BF aren't all that spectacular. Especially not to the point of saying you would OWN anyone. Even when it had a lag problem you could go INVEST yourself in a storyline that was decent...far better then this "REVOLUTION" crap they tried to push out. Honestly.....this game has a weaker story line then HOMEFRONT.

Another key note......you obviously care or you wouldn't respond.




And did someone say RECOIL......hahahaha......go shoot the MG nest weapon. What a joke......recoil.....laughable.

great game, exactly what I expected.

However I'm sort of disappointed by the story, not really disappointed but I expected something different.
The story is just bunch of quickie cutscene that explains nothing. There's no back story or character development.

great game. I guess people were expecting the same similar trend from other FPS so they were disappointed

8/10

Congrats? Anyway, I care about the DLC and it is very playable for me. I understand people have had lag. I also understand that this is not the only game that had lag initially. Anyway, I had lag my first day online, but the next day and every day since I've not had lag and I've been playing 16 player versus on xbox 360. Congrats to me.

Edit:

I think probably just the last one is a problem for you, dying always svcks (won't be as bad with the cortex bomb). However, as an operative you just aren't going to be on the front lines laying down a lot of fire. You're behind the scenes messing their [censored] up. I love using comms hack and disguise. I immediately find the nearest turret to hack or command post to take. Or, I'll head toward the main objective if it's a hack primary objective(there are two or three I think) or steal the objective(there are several I think and I'm a light). There are also secondary hack objectives. Most of the stuff I end up doing, though, is not directly related to the primary objective. When I do head to the frontlines it's because I've firewalled both command posts, hacked all turrets, and spotted all mines. Then I'll usually flank, sticky grenade surprise attack, shoot and run the hell away.

Classes are unbalanced, and don't have cool powers? Care to backup your claim?

I'm having no lag in my game. Hell the biggest thing I can complain about it sound cutting out. And after that the fact that only one or two weapons are ever used.

But honestly, your playing on consoles aren't you? ......

The classes are unbalanced through the operative. The main thing (in my opinion) which puts the operative at a disadvantage is that all the other classes can buff, instead the operative can mark people, but there is the [censored] universal power which lets people know if they are being sited. This makes the operatives ability worth much less. Also Medics buff health, Engineers buff armor, Solders buff ammo, and Operatives buff weapon damage! just should have been there.

As for cool powers i have a huge number of ideas some are: Operative - grapplng hook. Medics healing pad (which buffs all people in the small area.) Solder - bayonet (increase and stab with melee) Also it's sad that there was no branching out with the skills for each class (as in added effects and choices)

But Bethesda put their stamp on it. They are ultimately responsible for the game on the shelve.

I dont want to admit it, but I thought New Vegas was a fluke. Now I'm not so sure. It makes me nervous for Skyrim

First, games should not be release if their not finished. That goes for console and PC games. All this set a date, throw it out, fix it later crap is pathetic.

Second, its almost impossible to play with friends. Its a nightmare to find a functioning online match. With a game thats essentially online only, thats inexcusable.

Edit: And lets not forget that this game was released a week early because "Production on Brink wrapped up earlier than expected." Clearly, they thought the game was 100% finished.
