Brink release date announced

What makes it so boring? Weren't you having fun like a day or 2 ago?

Just got really repetitive, also once you unlock everything, which is easily done within a day or two, there really is no point in playing. Sometimes i feel as if I'm pumping 2 clips into a guy, and he wont even drop, yet he takes 2 shots at me and I'm dead. The damage system just doesn't seem right, i don't know. I was having fun with it, and then i just got a bad feeling inside of me, and i don't even want to play it anymore.

problem seems clear to me.. your teammates suck.. and arnt buffing you or your damage.
Heavy+kevlar+metabolism+gun damage = god.

play with good people instead of COD wannabes.

Man I don't ever remember PC gaming being so confusing. You can't trust review sites, I get it, but users are extremists with the love and hate. Demos while they are nice to try out don't typically give you enough of a taste and devs are now like car salesmen. WTF!

it still needs some work but its far from a "bad" game

id wait prolly for a few patches.
but it has possibilities for sure.

This is probably one of the most fun games I've ever played. The only bug I battle with is the sound bug on certain maps and the random letter font change, but who cares about that? Kinda adds a little more style

This is probably one of the best reviews I've seen:

Here's another really good review:

When SplashDamage announced the first DLC will be free to make up for the launch issues, I was sold.

See you in game, bitches!

He doesn't have old drivers. He made a typo, and the 11.5a hotfix was supposed to fix some things in Brink. It...didn't.

that makes way more sense

Haven't been able to actually play it much so far, but I'm rapidly losing hope there is a good game under there. The parkour system has the old "Great when it works, not when it suddenly and inexplicably doesn't." problem one button do-everything controls always do. The map design is terrible - must pass through chokepoints directly next to the enemy team's spawn. The weapons desperately need some kind of description, not just stats - I'd like to know if that's a fully auto AR or a three round burst, that would be much more helpful then a new moustache.

And then there's the bugs. Performance and rendering problems aren't enough, apparently. Sound suddenly dropping out of a match completely, unless you reconnect. Players disappearing from the scoreboard and turning invisible while still able to shoot you. And the server browser....how did they miss that bug?

I havent touched it much, played some, and the recently released $15 Section 8: Prejudice has won most of my limited playtime. so much more polished, only real downside is that it hates alt+tab, but it runs great in windowed mode :awe:

I really wish this were cheaper. I hope when it is, people will still be online but... not getting my hopes up.

Look at Battlefield 2. Great reviews, lots of hype, totally shit game. Useless patch after useless patch, preorder/release day buyers got screwed, etc.

And this is after playing the demo and liking it.

So yet another crap fps game?

God damn it. I remember when every fps game that came out was amazing.

That period of time never existed.

It's not a crap FPS. It's a GREAT online multiplayer objective-based team game.
