BRINK is the most played game ever

(gooey79) #21

Probably somewhere in the region of 500+ hours in Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars (PC).

Around 45 hours for Brink - combined PC and PS3.

[QUOTE=.FROST.;379806]3000hrs. of playing hearts??? Suddenly I consider myself very normal. And I thought I’m some kind of gaming/I-net junkie. Puh, obviously, there’s still plenty of room to the top.

As an exchange to my gaming habits(1-3hrs. a day) I don’t watch TV. Literally non. Haven’t switched it on for months. The only one who watches is my daughter. Cause once you’ve discovered MP, TV becomes quite unexiting and passiv. Actually if it wasn’t for my little one I’d have allready thrown that thing in the can.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, if my wife didn’t watch TV, I’d have cancelled cable long ago. Thank goodness for my 56" with split-screen!

And I get really sick of people that act like watching TV and playing games are the same thing. Just because they both use a screen, even though one’s entirely passive, and one’s (almost entirely) interactive. That’s like saying NASCAR is the same as valet parking because they both involve cars.

Probs got about 1500-2500 hours in ETQW
Only 17 in BRINK and that was mostly in the first two weeks of release, about an hour or two after that

I forgot to mention, that I’m a real movie nut. It’s only the average TV program I can’t stand. I never just watched a movie. I allways needed to know everything about it; who’s this actor, where did he/she played previously, who’s the director and what did he direct before? Didn’t I’ve heard these sound bits in this other movie, or isn’t the score an altered version of another score and stuff like that. I knew and still do know stuff about movies I haven’t even watched or have the intention to do so. But I know most of the cast and all the trivia about the production and so on. In all honesty I consider myself a medium to hardcore cineast. But I watch all the movies on my PC. I watch and love movies and games because they lead you in fantastic worlds, wheras the TV program does most of the time the exact opposit. It shows you the grim, stupid, boring, ugly, smelly, lunatic, fanatic, religious, ridiculous, so called “REALITY”.

@Shackelford, but as you’ve sayed only because it runs on a screen it’s not the same and so aren’t movies compared to the TV program. But, big but here, some shows merge the good stuff from both worlds together. Some TV shows are just gorgeous, but that’s quite rare compared to the amount of programs and the hrs of time on air. Twin Peaks, The Wire, Generation Kill, Lost and so on are good examples of how TV should look like. But talk-shows on the contrary are just dirt, dirt, dirt. And the average entertainement program is just crap, crap, crap. Compare this to an intense MP match, no matter what genre. Man, after an intense MP battle I don’t need a coffee to stay awake. When did you got this on TV?

Around 3k-4k for w:et and 2k-3k for etqw. Back in w:et times i had nothing better to do and played for roughtly 5hrs/day. Etqw beta already racked a ton of hours, but after that it started going down smoothly. Now it’s approx 0.6hrs/day. Brink, 63hrs.

(dannyotheglenn) #26

that is down and out terrifying

Brink???
Im hardcore fps pc player, from sd games only etqw, but over 3000hrs, since glorious dresstokil cheat times,
I had many nicknames,in game, in forums, multiple supcoms awards, es, many clans created,
many competitions, many servers… but brink?? Sorry i played it only 24hours after release.

Cities in motion is more enjoyable game than brink.

Everytime I read about W:ET and ET:QW in this forum I think; “Maybe I should consider myself lucky(in some odd way) that I never played any previous SD titles”. So I don’t have anything to compare BRINK to directly.

(tokamak) #29

Really, just try it.

(.FROST.) #30

I guess so, but this would only open another world of misery. It’s hard to keep my gaming habits* with only one MP titel in check.

*don’t want to play more than 1-2hrs/day

(tokamak) #31

Yeah ETQW can get pretty addicting. It’s also the reason why I’m hesitant to start it again. Just like WoW.

(.FROST.) #32

Bought myself a whole new set-up* yesterday, wich makes ArmAII finally playable(what I consider playable. Haven’t really played it since the initial release) for me. So that’s another big “problem”. Btw. never heard somebody say anything about ArmA in this forum. Its all about CoD, MoH, BF(all of them), W:ET, ET:QW, Red Orchestra and CSS.

and finally even Windows 7

(tokamak) #33

And Raven Shield. I can’t stop going on about Raven Shield.

(Stormchild) #34

Pretty much same reason here why I am not going back to ETQW either. That and the fact that my hard copy got left somewhere during on of my several change of home over the last year…

As for Wow… stopped when Burning Crusade came out, because of the unbearable felling to be “pushed” to buy it, even though I had things/instances/raids left to see in the original world first. But barely any people left to play with, PvP / BG (save alterac) put me against hordes of 60-70’s, while I was stuck at 60’s hence forever on the low end, just because the others had bought the add-on. Got me pretty furious at the time. Now I just laugh at it and WoW altogether.

(tokamak) #35

The vanilla edition was so great because it had an exciting unpredictable open-world. It was this way because it had groups of people travelling everywhere. The instances were important, but the long and dangerous roads towards them was a substantial part and hardly any party could resist knocking the living **** out of the other faction if they met them. Beautiful emergent gameplay.

Every WoW expansion dealt a big blow to the open-world sandbox type of game. Less and less people roamed the huge world as they were all pushed towards the cities with their convenience and their automatic queues. Also, everyone flies, so everyone avoids each other.

Did that graph from steam just got deleted? :confused:

EDIT:
Oh lol I got confused with the thread, tho the steam graph fitted this topic more than the patch ETA

(montheponies) #37

you didn’t miss much. try RTCW rather than the pale derivatives that SD produced.

(Donnovan) #38

Record is mine, i brough the game on release and have less than 2 ours of play.

2 or 3 times i entered the game just to see Brother Chen intro and then exit.

(ScumBag) #39

I had around 2000 hours into ETQW, but only put 75 into BRINK. I’d estimate 300 in ET, but I picked it up a little late. I’ve probably spent more time on this forum than I did actually playing BRINK.

[QUOTE=sereNADE;379800]2000 hours Quake 1 Team Fortress (1997-2002)

I wonder how you guys count the hours, especially for Q1 TF and W:ET? ^^

As much as myself, I worship ETQW and played it around 2500-3000 hours (and quite a lot on Nirvana customs), but I also remember playing W:ET quite as much, here also comes RTCW, though half the amount of time in comparison (it was killed by W:ET). But still playing old good Q1 TF was much much more than these 3000 hrs in ETQW - that game was simply godly in its time. At that time it too was absolutely regarded by myself as a best game in the world, and if someone asks me now - I would probably still say that Q1 TF was the greatest, beating even ETQW for me. Q1 TF started it all.
