I read pre-views,interviews,reviews,related to Brink comments,searching YouTube & Twiter (i don't use Facebook.) to learn more for Brink & this applies for games that i'm interesting on buying.
So this way i can form my own opinion about the game.I'll take into account what i hear or read but i'll not take it for granted for the simple reason that others opinion don't define me.
It's just a piece of info that can help me or not to have a more complete view of what the game's all about.

I see that many pay too much attention what some internet gaming magazines say,it's like i really like this girl you know and i want to talk to her and a minority of people says to me "no men,she's like that and does that" and this how we miss the chance,at least i think it's simple as that.
This is our one life,i won't miss a chance by forming my opinion based on what others say.
I guess this is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist of our "modern" times in gaming but that also show how we fanction in general,so i urge u not to see this reviews as nothing more as a bit of info for the game.

I don't want to anolyse the capitalist side of this..Developing & Publishing Companies is very clear that affects them deeply in shares/money but at least a Developer (usually) is also a gamer that his purpose is to make a game that primary HE likes playing.
I really like when i read http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6355/a_missive_from_the_end_of_genre_.php,it was just a confirmation to what i already knew but it's nice to see Devs saying the truth and what it's on theit mind.
Second paregraph from the end of the first page says:
Levine said. "Most of the mistakes I've made in my career have come out of not appreciating the challenge, not dedicating the time, energy, and resources appropriate to the level of challenge. And I think if you have the right people and the right time, you can do almost anything. You have to make sure you gauge the challenge level, and the challenge level you're describing is a gold level challenge. It's not a silver or bronze level challenge."

So i mean a game is like cooking...if u put the right incredients,do everything in it's right time it will be succesfull

For me,i think the game is gonna be a succes,i don't know in the long run though,20 lvls are too few,modern FPS campaign too small and applies here,re-playing value isn't gonna help in the long run,hoping for many addons expanding the story.

Let's use these brothers,have fun and enjoy!
Stay frosty gents

I don't give a rats. I didn't read your thread either.

Nobody cares about you either. He has every right to make his own thread, and you have every right to not read it/reply to it. You actually just bumped this thread, so +1 to the OP.

Nobody care's about you, nor I. Nor OP

+1 OP

Well if reviewers say it's bad, it can get around to the public that it's bad, therefore they won't look in to it and we'll have less people to play with. Although if you can find a good network of players before that happens then it's no problem.

Agree with you OP nice post.Looked at the game liked what i saw and pre ordered it no one can judge what i'd enjoy and what i wouldnt,but the one thing that will define the game for me and make it great are the players that im playing with and against.Games have come along way over the years and if most shooters take to the spirit of this game and play it for what it is then this game certainly won't gather any dust in my closet.

True,but these will be ppl that easyly affected by others opinion,i just can't understand why we must care about what others say.I mean they will lose a chance of finding out by themselves,they'll quit any research just beacause some people say?

Hm,this reminds me "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3oC_D0--Mk",lol.

Anyways,my point is don't care that much about others opinion,it's your life,you define you,not others,do what YOU like,don't do what others say you should do.Simple as that.

Didn't read but responded on topic,so thanks m8

That's definitely my philosophy

Excellent! I approve of this as an actual Chef. :ribbon:

C C C C COMBOBREAKER!

I feel emotionally attached to the game, I want it to be succesfull :celebration:

All of our lives were made to believe in the approval of our peers,it's no different in the videogame industry,it becomes habitual and instinctual.Many folks life experiences will lead them to a point where it couldn't matter less,many don't,not sure eithers better but i'm glad i don't give a toss anymore.

Lol is that from Instantfunz?

I find it very condescending that you linked the word zeitgeist to it's wikipedia meaning. If you don't think the other forum users are on your intellectual level, why post words you think your inferior-brained audience wont understand?

im buying this game if people say that this game is supposed to be doomed to fail and the parkour prob doesn't even work and all those other {censored} comments

Essentially, nothing really matters - besides this thread being bumped endlessly.

+2 OP.

i wouldn't care what people say about brink, i'm too excited to pay attention to their stories...
NOW, games that i'm super excited about (like BRINK) i will not pay attention to bad reviews.
HOWEVER, games that are on my radar that i think may be cool i will pay attention to. i do this because if i'm not too excited about it i probably won't even buy it, so i'd LIKE to be swayed to save my money!

1) Zeitgeist is not so common word

2)Is also a documentary

3)I am average in everything

Unless a reputable gaming review site, such as Game Informer whose reviews are usually on the money for me, says that Brink is on the same level as Alpha Protocol (slaps self for buying it) then this game is mine. Some random review by a guy on a forum who "got the game early" and says nothing but "dis gam is ta suxxors" I tend to not believe such things.

Amen!

I too put up a similar post: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1186856-review-does-not-matter/page__gopid__17639396#entry17639396


+1000 OP.

Ok,why do you seperate the casual player from the Game Informer employee?They are both human,they have different tastes probably in genres and more the employee may have reasons (...) to put a negative (or positive) review.

All i want to say in the end is,we must play it first,don't make absolute decisions,before release at least.

As i said i also read (pre-) reviews and it's important for me when they comment negative on something to explain the why,why is it negative?And this why should be not a personal why.

Oh men,this is one of the few times i didn't hit "search",sorry about that.

I'll read it then and thanks m8.

Ah, well spoken.
Personal only to an extent, because everyone has their tastes.

But mostly it should adhere to the games personality and who "it is".
Once you put a circle around this concentration of it's uniqueness, you then go on and break down what is good or bad about it.

This. Also, I read the reviews so I can laugh at a website that shall not be named *cough* IGN *cough cough* because they can't figure out how to play.
