Honestly, no offense but all the XBOX players should stop complaining. At least you HAVE online to at least play Co-Op with friends, while us PS3 players have to sit in the corner, all alone, grounded from PSN. You guys could get a patch very soon. We have to wait until May 31 POSSIBLY (considering Sony hasn't had any luck yet) to play Multiplayer.

So XBOX players calm down, because if you enjoy Brink but sell it because of online issues, it might get fixed a day later and you'll feel like a fool. ^_^

Btw, is L.A. Noir multiplayer?

Edit: Nevermind, I just read all the comments. It's not

You are clearly not patient, im experiencing the same lag you are, you don't see me raging on the Bethesda Forums, complaining about a game Splash Damage made. Im being patient and waiting for a patch for a number of things, but go ahead sell your Brink, we don't really want you on our teams anyways with that attitude.

1. OP, why do you need a bunch of strangers to tell you what to do with your money/property? Do what you want, no one cares.

2. LOL at the OP referencing how hes been patiently waiting for them to fix the lag..... for 2/3 days. That my friend is what we call impatience.

If EVERY game is lagging your connection must be messed up, because I can leave a laggy game and join a new one with no lag.

You do that. I want LA Noire too...but I'll take a laggy game like Brink, over a game that I can promise you will be broken 10x more. C'mon people...stop trying to act all hardcoe "THIS GAME svckS! I'M SELLING IT!" and think for once. Name me one Rockstar game that was functional for a majority at launch. Red Dead Redemption had game deletion, invisible environments, characters, animals. Freezing, frame rate issues. So did GTA4. I doubt Noire will be any different. I want Noire, but unlike you babies, I can wait until the game is patched to buy another Rockstar game.

Red Dead Redemption is a good game, and it was broken as hell on Launch.

So, wait...

The OP is impatient because he bought a game that doesn't work the way it should out of the box? With as many games as there are on consoles releasing all the time, it's of every company's best interests to release a game that is at least functional in every area.

I can't play MP online because the lag is atrocious, yet I can pop in Crysis 2, Halo Reach, Gears 3 Beta and play with with no lag? Nonsense.

As a gamer that started on PC, I've spent many a moon waiting for a game to get patched, but since playing more on the console, it's common knowledge that not everyone has a hard drive (at least on 360). That means the games tend to be done when they hit shelves, only needing minor fixes.

He's not impatient. They've been hyping this game for two years (I first heard about it at PAX 09), so now that he has it in his hands and can't play it for reasons beyond his own control, he's impatient?

I think not. The impatient party here is the person who greenlit it to be published with such obvious issues.

Xeno, what exactly are you referring too when talking about Red Dead? Because as far as the single player mode is concern it was damn near perfect and deep with content. Admit-tingly I didn't jump on the multiplayer until later but it wasn't available until a 45 days after launch. Or am I mistaken?

Crysis 2 has the same issues as Brink. Some players seem to experience absolutely no lag at all, while another large group experience lag so bad you can't tell if you're actually shooting someone. I fell into that 2nd category. The first demo release of Crysis 2 played smoothly for me, the second demo release had some lag spikes, with the final release being unplayable for me. For all the screams at those who did experience game breaking lag, from those who didn't & benefitted greatly, that we should be patient a patch will come... We''re still waiting! Often many players selfishly think their experience in a game is the only experience. Anyone who's played mp games in the last 5 years knows that isn't true. YouTube is a great source of evidence for this.

Back to the subject...

I'm always impressed at the power of fanboyism, cause if a game isn't broke for them, anyone who complains differently is a troll, noob, sux, etc.

It isn't wrong for the consumer to expect any purchases he or she makes, to operate as advertised out of the box. Part of an unspoken trust is that the entity producing said product did the appropriate testing to make sure their product works as they promise. If it doesn't, that trust is broken. This usually involves rants, complaints, returns, vows to never purchase from them again, speaking to anyone who will listen not to purchase their products, and usually a far more wary consumer of any future product. None of this is wrong, it's a right one gains as a purchaser of said product. You honestly purchase a product, like a movie, book, or whatnot, you gain the right to a viewpoint on it. Obviously that viewpoint will be tainted if the trailer didn't seem to show the same movie you saw, the book's description was misleading, or features are missing or do not work.

Yes you can compare Brink to how well other games functioned from day one. I just wonder, if those games didn't perform as advertised out of the box for you, were you really as 'patient' for those games as you want others to be for this one?

There's a widespread belief that game companies are now comfortable in delivering product, and making loyal or early adopters beta testers. Worrying less about the final quality of their product, over just getting it out there, getting sales, and moving on to the next thing.

Everyone one who yells at someone else because they're disappointed their purchase with their money doesn't work properly, gives those companies the confidence & satisfaction to carry on with such practices.

Well, there were cases where game saves were deleted, games would freeze after fast travel, animals wouldn't load and would be invisible...same with buildings, terrain and even Marston himself.

Free Roam was available at launch. They just added more modes later for Competitive Multiplayer. But Free Roam was plagued with lag, frame drops, freezing here as well, same case as single player, things wouldn't load and you'd be mauled by invisible bears. Some people couldn't even connect in general. The game was broken on all fronts. But it's still a GOTY title.

Im Gonna go buy L.A Noire, even know I thought red dead wasn't to my liking. Then Ill go whine about it on rockstars forum and insist that its the worst game ever! Because I rode on the short bus,am generally a total moron and I always buy into the hype. Really looking forward to it.

Read Dead did have some cool glitches like the wolf man and the horse lady though.

This is why I don't go on the Brink forums. HURR HURR Y U TRAED A MULTIPLAYRAR GAEM IN 4 A LOSER SINGUL PLAYER WUN!!?/111

It hasn't even been 3 days bro, relax.

I'll take your word on the free roam as again, I never jumped on in the beginning. But I can honestly say I didn't run into the other glitches as you mentioned. I must have been one of the few fortunate ones. All those glitches would definitely infuriate me.

God...you have no idea...>_<

The Hunter Challenges almost made me rage quit the game...nothing like trying to hunt Legendary Cougars that you couldn't see. >_<

Why are all of bethesda's games/ published games full of bugs?

*Wrong Thread* *Deleted*

I tried to go over there. I have a few posts but seriously, I've done more reporting there in one day than I have my entire time on these forums. Lot of flaming, lot of trolls.

Personally, I'm keeping Brink because it is fun. I don't understand how people are level 20 after 7 hours of play. I've played well over 12 hours and am only 15. I beat the game on both sides including the what ifs and all the challenges. :shrug:

I bought it and enjoyed it a little bit, it was a bit too simple and repetetive for my liking though. Will be better when I can do some MP with less lag. For now though, it's like an Unreal Tournament bot match that doesn't run that smoothly on my computer. The stupid AI has been making it hard for me to enjoy in SP.

Trade in isn't an option for me either, unless Steam want their data back.

The problem with Brink is the fact that it even shipped with the issues that it has. The lag is so bad that the game is practically unplayable, the graphics glitches are just annoying, but are usually something which is fixed before you ship a game.

Splash Damage basically shipped a pre-alpha game and charged full price for it. I say trade it in for L.A. Noire. I know I would except for the fact that I'd get too little for it. Tried to trade in Mortal Kombat and they only offered me $25... <_<

At the Red Dead Redemption was buggy guy: I never experienced any major game-breaking issues with Red Dead and still haven't. I have noticed some mild issues (flying stagecoaches, horses falling out of the sky etc) but those I expect from a free-roaming game. With games like that there's just literally too much ground to cover to ensure the NPCs don't freak out.

The Brink section was made for Brink, this is a Brink topic. Maybe I don't want you on MY team because obviously you think I am raging at Beth like I think Beth made it, that just shows your stupidity. Just because this is the BethForums doesn't mean the Brink section has no affiliation with Splash Damage...

Are you trying to mock me? Because if so then you are mistaken because this is in no way a rant, I just want to know if I should sell Brink to get LA Noire (I have made my decision that I am not and it isn't worth getting only 21$ for a 60$ title) or keep Brink and buy LA Noire with cash. What people don't understand is that they think I am impatient, which I am not being that I've waited for two years to play this game because it got delayed and then I get a broken game (or near broken).

2 years waiting to see a broken game? It should have been perfect if it was delayed for that long. Oh well I am not selling it now anyways, lets just hope they fix the servers

Oh my god this crap has made its way into the community discussion. :shakehead:

It's bad when a game is shipped with bugs this bad, I guess it comes down to whether you think the game will be a keeper after things are fixed. L.A. Noire certainly looks good but it isn't guaranteed to be good or bug free (I'm looking at you bully!) though RStar has a pretty good track record.

Way to multiquote, bro
