Brink has not flopped yet

(Ashog) #121

To me a multiplayer game that has on start up a low number of players is fail because, however good it might be as is, the number of players to play with is only decreasing with time, not otherwise. So basically it means that soon there will be noone to play with (even if I wanted to, though now I 'm not sure I want tbh).

The opposite (large numbers) is of course not a necessary condition for a game to not be a fail in my eyes.
Thus both latest CoD installments and brink looks as fail to me, though they are on totally different levels regarding everything.

Any of you guys still playing Brink on PC, or am I the only one?

(Jess Alon) #123

Did you seriously necrobump this stupid thread?

(funsize) #124

Yeah, I just got unbanned (originally banned for making this thread). I was just curious if anyone other than me was still playing Brink, but you didn’t answer the question :frowning:

(riptide) #125

What is the difference between bumping this and making a new thread and Brink hasn’t even been out long enough to call this a necro thread lol.

^ You sir, are not going to dissuade us from playing the game with non-factual numbers regardless. We play games for fun not to be a “Me Too” bandwagon hopper.

He’s looking at the stat site over at Steam to get those numbers, on average there about 2 thousand players playing Brink everyday though, right now 1,100 players in game playing. Since Brink is a steamworks title so those numbers represent the total number of people playing globally.

^If you like Brink, don’t get concerned with the numbers. Use the forum to find some folks to play with. If you join groups, clans, make friends you will have people to play with. You have little control over those numbers posted by the OP or anyone else posting numbers, other than playing the game if you enjoy it. If you like Pearl Jam, and you buy their newest album, should you worry about how many other people bought it, especially if you like it? Nah. Same with Brink. Just find people to play with. There is a dedicated section of this forum for finding clans, websites, and other stuff to play Brink.

This game is a load of playing with yourself.Most especially single player.

(el1as) #133

steam stats

current 456
pick 1,031

the best thing SD could do is reading each post of this forum to understand why, more and more times

it is clear they listened to the wrong people, they deleted each negative posts, even some note written by closed beta player predicting the fail

  1. im not seeing making this thread getting you banned, and seeing as how you necrobumped it again its kinda not cool.

[QUOTE=jazevec;331071]Brand Damage have supposedly said they’ve learned a lot from ET:QW. Would you say they’re learning things faster than they’re unlearning them ? How the hell can one explain things like nearly worthless heavy, operative, carb9 dominance ? Very rough estimate below:
Operative: 1/4 of classes not useful, 3 classes remain.

Heavies are bad, mediums are half-bad. This means there are around 1.5 useful body types. Half of total.[/QUOTE]

i agree on the heavy, i dont see the point. but i can kick ass with a medium operative. certainly not useless. yes, they arent always great at grinding XP ( i have won plenty of maps coming first with Op) but once you get the good toys they are pretty powerful and cause mayhem.

(its al bout security) #136

excuse me but i dont think you have met anyone good at playing heavy as i have seen a single heavy descimate entire teams on multiple occasions. its all a matter of tact

(Smoochy) #137

maybe, i havent met one i cant take down without too much difficulty, the negatives of lack of speed and reflexes seem to outweight the benefits of big guns and more HP. maybe they need more HP?!

(its al bout security) #138

most of the time the heavies spread really helps against those spray and pray hipfire carb noobs

heavies just need cannon fodder as a temporary distraction.

I use the carb. Why does that make me a noob? It is a gun just like any other. if you consider it better than other then use it to. using an effective gun doesnt make that person a noob.

How sad.
