They should change the name from Brink to 45 Ways To Die. Is it too late for that? Can’t you just slap on some Duct Tape over the box and use a sharpie? PLEASE!? I WILL CANCEL MY PRE-ORDER OTHERWISE!

Also, pretty sure there ARE ragdolls if you’re insinuating there are not. Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic lol.

Brink is mere days away and cunning people with calculators have been busy crunching a few numbers. The most impressive is the total number of appearance combinations possible in Brink, which comes out at a staggering 102,247,681,536,000,000 - that’s 100 quadrillion! But wait, there’s more!
Check out the table below for a whole bunch of cool numerical Brink trivia:

Getting slow at your old age! But I’ll hop on the ‘official’ thread wagon.

Please change the name of the game to ‘45 Ways To Die’ thank you.

That’s rediculous I’ll be pretty upset if I see someone at the party with the same outfit as me after seeing these numbers. :slight_smile:

Not even Borderlands got away with all those numbers. There wasnt that many weapons at all. I’d say maybe less than half of what they said was going to be in the game.

I love Borderlands, but the key difference with their system was that they are randomly generated for near infinite possibilities.

Also it’s worth saying there is probably a degree of error in our calculations… you know, give or take a billion. :wink:

Resistance Bitch stole my Dress!

(Ragoo) #11

If I ever see someone on pub with the same character I have, I will have to buy him a drink ;D

(Om3ga) #12

Jesus! Too much numbers :smiley:

Or shoot them because they are probably an operative.

(iezza) #14

Fat operative for the win! :smiley:

(Mr. Magikarp) #15

There are more unique character combinations in this game than there are people on the planet to play them!

(mortis) #16

45 Ways to Die - Best Sounding Game Name ever!

(Shadedluck) #17

Let’s start naming the ways you can die! I’ll start: Getting shot.

(FlatLineDisaster) #18

Getting married

(RAAAAAAAAAAGE) #19

^ Well played :smiley:

Getting slashed in the jugular…

(Mustang) #20

Hope SD guys are taking note, this will be in your next pub quiz!

P.S. The two most interesting stats for me are the 45 ways to die and the 4,963 weapon variations
