Still a lot of people love this game

I'm still enjoying it even with the several flaws on PS3, but I haven't been playing as much. I've been trying out some demos and finishing Portal 2 but I still like Brink. My only complaint is that the maps can get kind of stale after playing them over and over, but that's what the DLC is for right?

+1 I am enjoying Brink too. It certainly had it's challenges with PSN network being down and bad lag for all systems. BUT after the patch it seriously improved for me. I have to say Brink (PS3) runs very smooth and rooms are filling up with real players much more. (Side point: Make friends! I have gone out of my way to send Friend Requests to players that are good teamates- now we just Fireteam and rooms fill up even faster)

So here is the thing for me. This game stumbled out of the gate and the COD fanbase has rejected this game it seems. I purchased COD Black Ops and enjoyed the game for 2 months, but seriously it had more than it's share of network issues - does anyone point that out?

I really do like the Brink community. I have made some great great friends / teammates through Brink and I have to say I am quit addicted.

no, I still love it.

I'm really enjoying it, I only got it a few days ago and it's pretty lag free for me, no more laggy than other P2P FPS's like Black Ops and Crysis 2. I don't really get much lag at all. The gameplay kicks ass and the customization is great. The only downside to the customization for me is that my Jamaican rasta now speaks with an Irish voice and I can't get it to go back. Hopefully it'll be fixed in a patch because it's the one of the only glitches I've noticed so far.

I have been hooked since day 1!

Luckily I usually don't research games before I buy, since I'm like that is interesting and just do impulse buys. Yeah I get burned a lot, but then I also don't get my hopes up or influenced and I can enjoy the game based on my experience. And man am I hooked! Playing Operative is bananas!!!!

I got 10K+ points on an FULL big team match on xbox 360 no lag and all I did was make engineers life difficult. Nothing more awesome than hacking turrets, controlling turrets, spotting mines, caltrops, sticky nades and the all glorious EMP nade.

The many times I'm doing the final objective on Container City where there are 30 mines, turrets and people and I throw one EMP nade in there walk in walk out with the package and win. hahahaha

I have it on PC as well the graphics are great but I don't get many full games. Plus no one talks =\

i love brink on the pc . sure their are small problems and i under stand that . i have did online on every mission 6 times and i very like the game. can not wait for DLC

Ppl who are selling this game off because their friends don't like it need to get additional, new friends because that's the only way Brink's community is going to grow.

As much as the earlier laggy days and still muddy looking graphics have hurt this game, the rush you get from running and sliding away for cover is priceless.

But I will say this though, I'm not going to waste my time supporting a dying game again (Shattered Horizon). If I start to see more bots than humans in the weeks to come then I'm jumping off.

Bots or no bots, I will be playing Brink for a good long while. I love this game that much.

nope.

/thread

Hell yeah, game's awesome.
I lag maybe 1 out of 10-15 games. WAAYYY better than CoD or BC2.
Textures don't bother me as I'm usually running around playing the game, not staring at a wall wondering why the paint hasn't loaded yet. :whistling:
I don't have trouble finding people to play with, or inviting people. I don't even mind the bots that much, they offer plenty of challenge that's for sure.

I really don't understand it either. I guess day 1 lag online hurt it bad. I know that 99% of people rip the wrapper off and go right to MP to "Pwn ppl"
before they even know how to play the game. So they get stomped and see some lag and say "Well this is garbage" I'm gonna go sell it for 25%
of what I JUST paid for it. :facepalm: I won't even sell Homefront, cause then they'll have f*ed me buying and selling.

And speaking of regretting buying games, Black Ops was in my machine for about 30 min before I wanted to take it back.
Now THATs a game that really svcked out of the gate.

I still love brink, but i dont have any friends to play with.. But i think I'm gonna change that, creating fireteams and the like. If anyone wants a team-orientated player, add me (:
Seems like self-advertising sorry for that..
Brink's a very cool game, especially if you have a good team up and running. Still love to win shipyard with the security..

I think it's a great game, so honestly, stop complaining. If you are going to cry just because the devs are working their butts off trying to fix this game then leave without saying anything.

Honestly, PS3 had lag issues that were fixed, why can't Xbox just wait and relax? They always are the first to get their goodies just because they pay, well how does it feel to wait a bit for a game to be fixed?

So shush.

I echo a lot of the sentiments of the people that love this game. Are there some flaws? Sure. Was there a cluster&^#% when the game first game out (I had horrible lag on 360, but no texture issues). Sure.

For me, the biggest issue was lag, that is fixed, and the other issues are minor compared to how much freakin' fun I have playing Brink.

It's just pure fun in a way I haven't had for a while. So yes, love it.

I love Brink, it is definitely one of my favorite games this year, if not of all time. I love the gameplay, it's really fun despite some flaws, but those flaws are minor for me and I can ignore most of them(I play SP so I don't really know about the MP problems people talk about). Also, I can sit and spend hours just customizing my characters. One of the things I'm hoping for is more character slots, I have so many ideas but not enough characters to use them on it seems(if you couldn't tell already, I'm very into customization). At first, I was someone trying to like the game, and I did to an extent, but the learning curve was a pretty big leap for me. However, I decided to stick it through and adapt to the gameplay and now I just love it, once you get used to it, it's just amazing.

Need more maps and modes, and the AI balance fixing.....

But, no OP, you are NOT alone!

+1 to big Brink lurv :touched:

Still on the fence.

Honestly, I spend more time nowadays frustrated than having fun, but I was a huge fan of both Wolf:ET and ETQW, so I'm sticking it out, because hey, when it's fun, it's some of the most fun I've had in a while.

Your right on the fact that the console players are griping the most. We [on x-box] have an absolutely horrible gaming community and games like brink that thrive and live off close communities are worse of on this console. The game itself is not the issue as much as the people which is sad. And the bots in this case cannot supplement people. SO the x-box version will always have us griping because in all honesty we cant play the same game. We're stuck with bots and 12 year olds who's mom bought them this game. Its hard to wait out the kids on this one. Why should I waste my time waiting for the people who just don't like it to leave? This is a good game but its being killed and even though it makes me sad, that I'm tempted everyday when i log on to jump ship and sell it back.

*I cant speak for PS3 i only have x-box 360 and know our community. Hopefully ya'll have a real solid one

I can accept almost any reason that people don't like a particular game because we are all different and have different taste,but this has to be one of the lamest excuses that I've ever come across.

if you missed it, i stated the problems i had with the game which all were contributing factors to why i sold the game. including that my friends didnt lik it. sorry any mp base shooter that my friends wont play i usually wont play either since we all have very similar taste and whats the fun in playing a game thats based on playin with friends if you have nobody to play it?

i bought the game so i could test it to see if me and my friends would like it, i liked it but it had way too many issues to justify all of us getting it... specially since it lacks lobbies and split-screen.

I read the other reasons,but just because your friends didn't like it is enough of a reason to find other friends to play with.No one in my gaming community has the game,and while I wish they did,I'm still having fun playing it without them,so in no way did them not buying the game sway my opinion if I liked it or not,but it seems to have swayed yours,if not just a little.

yeah this has to be my deciding factor too.




I agree that this alone isn't enough but on top of all the difficulties and including xbox community [if you can call it that] its hard to bash on him for not wanting to play this game.

Let's step away from it all for a minute what if i came to you and said
"Hey man, i found this real cool game you should try it."
"What is it?" you ask
"its this cool shooter with a really neato movment system and its all based on teamwork and stuff, So you really gotta work with your teammates."
"awesome" you say "i should get my friends to play"
"NOPE" i say "None of your freinds will play and you'll be at the mercy of the horror that is the xbox live community to find teammates"

Can you really blame him for not wanting to play?

Still lovin' it...
Brink that is, not McDonald's.

Sorry,but I can't really speak for the 360 crowd,being that I have it on PS3,so I'm speaking from that console's perspective.

I knew that pretty much everyone in my gaming community(about 35 or so members) wasn't going to buy it,but the concept,game mechanics,and the fact that it wasn't another military shooter was enough for me to get it,and I didn't give a damn who else was getting it or not.I had tech issues a couple of weeks ago,but the patch on PS3 seems to have fixed some of them,so friends or not,I'm still playing.

I was playing the Crysis 2 MP,and liked it at first,but now I don't even bother playing it.Not because none of my friends have it,but because the gameplay just doesn't appeal to me anymore.So even though I made new friends to play that game with,it was other things that keep me away from it.

I guess after some thought,if you are having a lot of issues with the game I can see where you might not want to play it alone.But this game is more fun when playing with other people,and that's why I say if your friends don't have it,make new ones,like I did.Had he did that,then maybe he might have found it a little more enjoyable and held on to it a bit longer.
