Brink Is A Broken POS

(gaminginpublic) #1

I just purchased Brink for Xbox 360 last night. At first I was overly excited for what seemed to be a great idea for a game. Then I played it… I tried it in single player and multiplayer. In single player the textures all load extremely slow. There are even times when everything glitches for a second and turns 8-bit. No I’m not making that up. Even after the textures are loaded the game still looks like it was designed as a standard definition game. At it’s best it’s blurry and weird looking. At it’s worst, it looks like a game that was made 20 years ago.

This doesn’t even compare to the online issues. I can’t get in one game without teleporting all over the map due to latency lag. YES, I have a stable connection… A very good connection if I might add.

You guys boast about how this game is MADE for multiplayer. From what I can tell the multiplayer is completely broken. Which means you released a broken product and should be forced to give every person who bought this game a full refund…

Now when you add the slow loading textures to the extreme online lag, what do you get? A failed game launch…

I’m afraid to see what the game was like before the day 1 patch…

I can’t wait to write the review for this game that it deserves.

The patch made no difference, I tested the game out with and without it.

Sweet, a completely biased review, on a crappy website that only a few people will probably ever read written by some random dude on the internet that thinks people will care about what he writes!

People need to calm down , im having tons of issue with the game but it is a new game. Remember WoW its first day…unplayable for a week. Bioshock had tons of lag issues with my build of my PC till the first patch.

The point is they are considered great games and wernt merely judged off of day 1. Do you plan to do a Rreview when a few patches come down the pipeline? Cause if ya dont well guess what your as biased as they come.

Sweet… A moron who thinks he knows what a good website is!

(gaminginpublic) #10

“Biased”, would imply that I had that thought from the beginning. I mentioned that I thought the idea was good. The production was just sloppy… I write what I see. What I saw was garbage.

I guess Giant Bomb and IGN and gamespot are also just crappy websites that no one goes to?

Everyone agrees… this game is ****.

Leave troll, just leave. 13-year olds are waiting for you in CoD. And yes, your website is bad and terrible.

(gaminginpublic) #13

I don’t care for COD either, but they don’t release games that are a mess. In all honesty, I would like for you to code and design a better website rather then trolling back.

Hmm, I play the PC version. 1920 x 1080… looks pretty good to me. Textures load up fine for me and look good (yes some are having the problem). No lag issues for me, a few bugs here and there but nothing that won’t be fixed eventually, nor that you can’t fix by A) rejoining the server or B) restarting the game. But the game play is seamless in all aspects.

I have to agree with the people saying no one cares about your review. There has been a handful of bad reviews but mostly have been 8’s there have even been some 9’s and even a 10. You honestly thought you would get positive replies from Splash Damage forums? Or did you do this (with your account name being your website…) just to advertise and to use your “What I found was countless Splash Damage fanboys insulting anyone who mentioned a single bad aspect of the game” line.

I like that you are trying to start up something with reviews, I have nothing against that, but don’t go to the companies website talking trash. You posted your review and opinions don’t dis the community and developers. Also, get more reviewers for PC and PS3 both only have one, and try to review multi-platform games because most games have different devs for different systems.

Try and make a more professional looking website, rather than using WordPress (anyone can do that…), if you want to be taken seriously. Perhaps have a finished website (meaning no dead links/fake links) before publishing it. Also, as I stated above, don’t act immature on dev teams (nor dis the community) forums, even if people have the same feelings for the game as you, it will not make them respect you or your opinion.

The moral of this long post is … act professional and be professional, then maybe you won’t have a chance to call people morons and they will respect your opinion even if they greatly disagree.

As for Brink, maybe have an updated review once the problems you have are fixed. Still noting the launch issues as to not ignore that.

EDIT:

Who are they? Treyarch, I remember plenty of launch day problems with Black Ops. Same with Infinity Ward and MW (never bought MW2 so I never really cared to find out). Many games and devs have launch day problems. Be it bad optimization or time frame that the publisher gave them. I can think of plenty of games where they wanted to do more but did not have the funds nor time to do it. Nor did they allow them to patch it.

I did not do it to advertise my website. I did it out of annoyance on wasting that much money on a game that doesn’t properly work. Yes, I used wordpress. Yes, it isn’t complete yet. Yes, I was on a schedule to release certain pages before others and yes, I will have more cross console reviews once I get the manpower to do so.

Wordpress is used for many websites as a CMS. There is nothing wrong with using it do house content. I only use it for the news page and review pages. The only thing bad about wordpress is when people use generic themes for their layout.

I appreciate your criticism though.

I would code better site in a day. By the way this topic is clearly an ad and should be closed.

(gaminginpublic) #17

code it then Legion. You’re all talk.

(DarkangelUK) #18

You’re doing the ole “I’m having issues = everyone’s having issues” thing… it’s not the case.

(Cypher05) #19

Either way, you could have made your first post a little better by not adding those last two sections. Everything else was fine. How were you on a time line for a website you have created? Most reviews should take longer playing (or usage when talking about products) time, I know a few who use things for months then posts an unbiased and not a heat of the moment review.

Yes, I agree WordPress is used by many, but I personally don’t see it as a means to make a professional looking website (it is possible though). As you stated only the news and reviews use WordPress, however those are the only ones complete.

Now I’m not a web designer, that’s not my thing. Though as an experienced PHP coder, I’m sure I could create a website much more feature rich and tailored toward gaming than your default wordpress install.

But that is not the point. It does not matter how nice your website looks (fyi, your website looks like a 13-year old made it - you can see how bad it looks at a higher resolution), what matters is having experienced writers that know the industry and can supply an unbiased opinion. So, who are you? I don’t see a bio about you, your experience in the gaming industry, the university you went to, past organizations you wrote for, etc. As far as I know you’re just some random kid posting his rage thoughts on the internet on his $6/mo hosting account.

But nonetheless, there’s a reason why there are very popular game review websites, and even extremely popular game reviewers on youtube, and your website is known by noone. Even google searching the words in your domain doesn’t come up with your website (I looked up to the 4th page).
