Post » Fri May 20, 2011 3:44 am

And I padi £37 for this? :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer:

Right? This is the worst part of the game. But SD has admitted their fault and is releasing free DLC in June. Sort of fixing it. :/

June? I could swap BRINK for LA. NOIR in 3days and get a at least 30hrs out of it, not 3. Unless they have said what the DLC is, bye bye. I would like some Multiplayer deathmatches, Like TDM, FFA and all that Jazz.

It would make it the game I thought it was going to be.

It's a multiplayer game, not some 100 hour long RPG.

If you expected that, it's your own fault for not looking into the game.

Not looking into it? I reached level 20, there isn't anything left, I played the hell out of the little 5/6 maps. Look at Call Of Duty or Battlefield, Or Killzone 3. Good games, 100+ Unlike BRINK, which is more like a 3-6 hour game. Even the COD single p;ayer, which is very badly done lasted longer, hell, there wasn't even a story to BRINK! Hack, Repair and escort! Repair, escort and Hack!

That's your own fault then. They have stated for a long time now what BRINK would be, and that it would have none of those modes included. The ONLY thing I'm disappointed in, is the fact that it's not working right this early, with the lag and texture crap. But they can and most likely will fix that soon.

All I'm trying to say is I don't expect to buy a game that has gameplay time of 3-6 hours. What are we supposed to do now it's completed, top multiplayer rank and all? I have never came across a game that get's 100% completed in less than a day, it's riducilous.

When I say "looking into it" I meant before you bought it. It's your fault for not knowing it was primarily a multiplayer game, and there would only be a handful of maps at launch. If you are trying to get more worth out of it, try another character class. Beyond that, there's not much else to say, except for the fact that you should look into your purchases instead of buying it at a whim.

I'll say again, I looked into every pieace of info that was realesed. Saying it's a multiplayer game, only to have done everthing possible in a day? What do you expect me to do now? Fight for your beloved BRINK. I do think the game is absoulutley awesome. But very, very short. In every way!

Well-designed multiplayer games are, in fact, longer than any story game could ever be. Infinite replay value. You're can't achieve everything in a multiplayer game in a day, you can't "achieve" it at all. It's endless fun.

Remember, switch up your play style. Doesn't matter if you're max level. Make a new character. Try out a light operative, heavy soldier. Jack of all trades. Anything.

You are the only one that's made a point to me. I understand this, but what I mean is, it is too quick to level up. No In-game challenges. No sense of Achivemnt after level 20. Because there isn't one.

Just might try that, I got level 20 with a Medium, while I often played light.

I hate to use this particular card, but surely you're heard of Counter Strike? The face of FPS before Call of Duty became a nationwide phenomenon. Back then, FPSes were a sign of nerdiness and no-life, but I digress.

Counter Strike's been the world's most played game for YEARS. Parts of South Korea actually use it to train policemen. It's firmly rooted in the hall of gaming to be remembered forever, and is constantly of Steam's top 5 most played games per day.


But it has no character progression. If you kill a player, you kill a player. That's all. Never had levels in its life. Never unlocked anything. You just killed. It didn't even have achievements for a very long time. There WAS no sense of achievement, because those people played (and still do) for fun.

Could I ask how many guns were used in CS, or how many maps? I have come to understand now that I was being Unreasonable. But I must move to the point of weapons, IMHO, there aren't enough, maybe there are, but they are all the same. Excluding the 1 and 3 shot AR's.

The same sense of achievement that has been in sports before video games and video games since they started. Accomplishing difficult tasks. Play hard and win, get good friends together for great teamwork too.

I feel like there's no sense of achievement in gaining levels, "achievements", or completing a story.
Instead, I enjoy a game design as-is in all its unique glory. Attempting to perfect my control over it, appreciating every nuance down to the last detail.
No achievements were harmed in the making of this drama.


On guns and maps in CS: it has less than BRINK does in guns and equipment, has NO classes OR abilities. There are more maps than BRINK but only a select few popular ones are really played. So why is CS not dead? mods.

In CS there are literally millions of custom maps that people make freely. There are literally thousands of custom mods that people play on various servers. CS may have started with 2 virtually similar game modes, but the community made far far more. Jailbreak, minigames, surf, Team Deathmatch, Warcraft 3 FT, rpg mod, free for all, gun game, modern warfare 2 mod, etc, etc ,etc eteteeteffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu there are so many!

Imagine... an infinite supply of mods aka "DLC" that is completely free. Looks more amateur than professionally-made DLC but it works just as well.

In conclusion, the game with the most productive community lives the longest and strongest. Honestly, the only thing that any modern game has over CS is better graphics.

Um, 12-ish maps. However, players can make thier own maps for CS, and the number of maps grows steadily every week. So I guess that's a fair reason.

There are maybe 30 weapons (very rough estimate - haven't played in a long time). They're all unlocked right from the start. They do cost money, so you need to do good in a round before buying a better gun, but when the map changes, all your money and equipment is wiped and you start anew.

I find winning and killing my opponent are "achieving" enough. You need something new to unlock or a new picture or whatever to have fun?
If so that svcks... and I'm glad its not that way for me.

What happen to the days when people just played for fun not level ups, perks, abilities, unlocking weapons and so forth. I like it for the gameplay period! I do love leveling up and unlocking things, but that is not THE reason I play games. Gameplay first and for most, of which Brink is GREAT, then visuals and then Unlocks and leveling. I think when a game can keep a lot of people playing long after all the unlocks and leveling, then that game rocks. Did I say I love Brink?! :hubbahubba:

You do that. Let me know if Rockstar learned from their past mistakes and LA Noire is playable on launch. ^_~

I agree but there is quite an emphasis on multiplayer but in games like cod (which I do enjoy) it is based off one character in this you can make a few and specialize them in certain fields but it still is a short story.

Guys, people are allowed to express disappointment, as long as they do it civilly and you can respond and disagree as long as you do it civilly.

It's REALLY really about time to stop flinging around COD player like it's some sort of hateful epithet. Knock it off, learn how to discuss things and disagree without slagging other people or other games.
