» Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:42 pm I've been thinking recently about a little game by Rockstar called LA Noire, I COULD buy it with cash but I am tempted to trade in Brink and get about 30-40 bucks out of it and only have to pay about 20-30. Don't take this the wrong way I love Brink I think it's an amazing shooter but for a game based around its MP and teamwork against the other team the MP is laggy as hell and un-playable for me. I get into the occasional lag free matches but 85% of the time the games I get into are either not full, lag filled, or just one sided matches where its a bunch of guys on security against bots (Yes I chose to search for Versus). If a patch doesn't fix this game soon I think I will be trading it in for LA Noire.
EDIT: I am not selling Brink BUT you guys really have to understand my argument here. I am not hating on Brink its just that Brink's been delayed for two years and in that time you'd think they would iron out these issues like lag and texture problems. Its like they didn't even let their own staff touch the game. You for you guys who are also saying "Oh look at Rockstar's games they are so buggy on release it is just unplayable and annoying" I didn't get any of those game breaking bugs but I believe you guys, its just that they CAN do that because it is such a big game world so managing everything is hard if they want to have the game ship by street date. Brink on the other hand is a FPS

I agree with MNiT. Both me and him defended Brink against everyone who came in and trolled. I even got banned for calling someone a troll. They released an extremely broken game. They should of never released a broken game. As for being patient. I understand patients but with a problem as big as this it is hard to be patient. This should have never happened. It is still a respectable game but I am on the fence about keeping it. SD should of waited to delayed it until july. They built up the game to much too. I received the game on Wed. I am level 20 and beat EVERYTHING. Yay that was fun. Who wants to play online.... Oh wait you cant. As of right now Brink is just my paper weight.
EDIT: At least L.A. Noire will be better finished than Brink. I will guarantee that as of right now. Plus Brink has only given me a couple hours of fun because the online is down. As of right now L.A Noire is a much better choice. Just think if they released Brink a week later like they were supposed to everyone would return it for L.A. Noire because of this.
