The Score of Brink (Revised) : Othor Games

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 2:22 am

Once Brink is released, what do you believe its average score will be?

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:04 am

About 8.5-9.0 but the real number will be 8.8 ( then im awesome )

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 2:55 am

we have a 1 but no 10? usless.

8.5 to 9; Brink only has good developers behind it, reviewers will descriminate because it's not a franchise

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 5:30 am

8.5 - 9.0

I will be very glad if thats the case.

The poll has a 1.0 - 1.5 option. It also has a 9.5 - 10 option.

Not always the case. I believe it will be more "does this game break the mold or bring something new to the genre" than based on it being a franchise or not. Then you have IGN who will be "how much money did they pony up for a good review?"

XD

IGN = IGNorant, reviews from them mean nothing really. I only really trust Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic.

Metacritic of 86 would be my guess. A lot of people will 'get' Brink pretty easily, there will always be those outlets who simply don't like anything outside the standard formula. Personally I'm expecting to find the first dozen hours or so pretty hard going. I'm a Call of duty/Battlefield gamer, Brink is a different beast and will take some adapting to, so I expect to struggle for a while until I get a feel for the game, but I'm confident that when I do I'll really enjoy it. Not all media outlets will give Brink enough time to get into before simply dismissing it. So for every couple of 8's or 9's I expect to see a 6 or 7.

What score do I think it will GET? 8.5 - 9.0

What do I think it will DESERVE? 9.0+

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:21 am

Why isn't there a "I don't care, I'm going to play it anyway" option?

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 2:46 am

Who the bloody hell picked 1.0 - 1.5 we must find him, drag him thru the streets on a dark rainy day and execute him in front of his family

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:01 am

im thinking between 8.0 and 9.0

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:57 am

I don't see this game getting anything below a 7.5, I'm guestimating it will be in the higher 8.5 - 9.0 range.

» Sat Jan 29, 2011 6:19 pm

I think the highest it might get is 9.0, but that is incredibly good so whatever.

» Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:38 pm

again, this game is mostly online oriented and as such that kind of game rarely scores well. brink does however feature a story so that may alter things dependant on how good said story actually is...but don't expect 9's, 7-8 is realistic.

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 10:24 am

I reckon it probably be around 7.5/8.0.

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 10:04 am

someone seriously put a 1 on the poll, GTFO lol. I believe if the reviewer is truly giving his opinion and not being fed a rating from IGN or something, he'll give it a high rating. Seen mainstream reviewers rate certain games low just so a game coming out a week or 2 later looks super good cuz it got a higher rating...politics

» Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:07 pm

8.5 to 9.0.

It wont reach a ten because [censored] in an office will write a review stating its not got realistic character models in it.

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 6:41 am

'guestimating' isn't a real word. It's not even shorter than the word it is replacing.
I'm afraid that there will be plenty of reviewers who will see it and mark it like this:

-1 (it's not photo-realistic)
-1 (it's not a very well known title)
-1 (it's not one massive team deathmatch)

» Sat Jan 29, 2011 6:16 pm

It won't get a 10 because Gabe Newell's name isn't in the credits. But I'm gonna say around a 9.

» Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:00 pm

what @snowpetrol said I think is completely true cause reviewers will rate it with some minus marks because of those reason and also they might even give another minus because the campaign is based around the MP or that the 2 are basically one and the same....
but what @nepalm said, why isn't there just a "I don't care I'm getting it anyways" button

» Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:43 am

I believe Brink will get a 66.6. Not to be mistaken with a 6.66...that'd be bad mkay :mohawk:
