Brink Updates Live, Free DLC Coming

[HomersGhost]

I’d love for people to explain down to a T exactly what the problems are. Because Splash Damage cannot help you if everyone is demanding refunds instead of telling them exactly what the issues are. This company needs constructive feedback more then ever. Not more of the same.

They already know, but I’ll clue you in. Two gigantic problems for XBox live players.

One, ridiculous lag. It’s beyond terrible. It’s by far the worst lag I’ve ever seen on a console followed by the Left 4 Dead 2 at launch. I bet you these boys aren’t patching their netcode, they are completely rewriting it. It’s just that bad.

Two, no party invite system. My friends and I stopped playing versus because we couldn’t all join in a game at once.

Those need to be addresses last week although the game may already be fatally wounded by word of mouth alone.

[QUOTE=DeadEye;315079]Lol at everyone still complaining.

So instead of waiting for free DLC and the game to be fixed, you gave a store 30 bucks and only got to play the game for less than a week? Anyone who already returned the game is a chump, and you’ll be even saltier about your decision in a month when the game is fixed and you buy it back for 50 bucks.[/QUOTE]

trust me im getting the full 50$ back (steam store credit) and spending it on a game that i can play now, in a month when maybe brink is fixed i’ll have moved on, and trust me in saying that i’m not the only one with this mindset…that is the sad thing here is that they killed the community right out of the gate by launching too early…great game , bad launch

[QUOTE=murtle52;315089]OK well this is tiring but for your sake (you must be new to this forum) ill explain

Yeah that’s why I have 3 stars under my name.

don’t take it personally man…but if you haven’t heard of the scope of the problems with this game, (just a few listed above) then i figured you haven’t been to this SPECIFIC forum

yes your stars are very pretty

Well left 4 dead 2 has tremendous P2P connection now. I’ve never had an issue with it. There’s nothing wrong with the game that can’t be fixed. I honestly don’t want to game with a bunch of picky children who stepped out because it wasn’t perfect out of the gate. I sure didn’t expect it to be. I knew there would be issues. But I also knew that the game would be a break from every game I freaking hate so it would be forgivable. I also know that splash damage will probably still be supporting this game even when the next Xbox console is released. So I have faith that I can play it and the experience can only get better.

It’s like that perfect relationship. Awkward at first but it can only go up from there.

Honestly all the crying and entitlement has made me take a break from the forums. I’ve powered through plenty of frustrating lag filled sessions. I’ve been reading but I don’t feel sorry for all the people that are bad mouthing a small company that just released it’s first original IP and is struggling to iron out some things.

“Your community is going to die because you had a ****ty launch. No one is going to be playing this game a month from now.”

Yeah ok. The people who have followed Splash Damage for half a century or more are going to just vanish because the launch wasn’t perfect. The people who have been playing Wolf:ET on their laptops and are STILL playing QW:ET right now until Brink gets straightened out. Yep they are just going to give up on splash damage.

“The weapons are boring or unbalanced. Nerf this nerf that.”

Right. Because you’re a competition level gamer right? You’re mad because someone else killed you and you can’t noobtube your way to victory.

I’m just apathetic to most things people say. They are bitching even though people are working on the problem. Continued bitching does nothing but discourage the people working on the problem. Be constructive or shut up. Trade in your game or wait. I honestly don’t care but people like you are cluttering up the forum with your crap when it could have things actually about the game in it instead of your drama.

It’s more like an accidental ass raping. And then they promise to get therapy.

SD needs to hear about ever complaint and oh wait, i think last i checked…this was the place to do it.

i’m not a competition level gamer and never claimed to be (where are you getting this stuff? looks like a cut and pasted standardized response or something) and couldn’t comment to much on gameplay which according to metacritic 40% OF PEOPLE CAN’T EVEN PLAY!
and alot of others are just deciding to suffer through the glitches and crashes

and weapon balancing ? nerfing this and that? where are you getting this from? you realize people can scroll back a few pages and know thats completely made up , and i havent heard hardly any of those complaints from anyone else either
almost all complaints are tech based

thats not your average buggy launch, thats a disaster that was rushed out waaaaay to soon and what could have been an epic game will suffer because of it.

don’t pull information out of thin air as it serves to make you look stupid

grow up

[Dopaminergic]

This game has barely any content. They should’nt have released it in such a terrible state. Should’ve kept working on it longer!

Unimpressed consumer is very much so unimpressed!

It’s not a cut and pasted standardized response. Forgive me for being able to properly format what I type. I know that you are probably not used to seeing that on internet forums. I’m saying be specific about your problems but stop crying about it. It’s a headache.

[peteXnasty]

PC players will be fine but the console community will be gone in a few months and I will be SOL I love this game but finding full games is difficult at best

[BassAddict]

R.I.P. to the age of patience and understanding.

It will be interesting to see how things get sorted out. I’m still waiting on my copy to be delivered to me in Japan from Amazon. It would be funny to see everything fixed by the time I get my copy and never have to deal with all the crap you people are whining about now. I do agree that it was a travesty that SD released this game early when there was still a lot of unfinished work to be done. I would’ve much rather waited another week so they could have tested it more extensively on the Xbox 360, and made sure that it was at least somewhat playable.
That being said, some of you people are so impatient it’s almost embarrassing to read what you are saying. SD is a small studio, and this is their first major title. They don’t have the resources or man power that bigger studios have, and things like this could take them a considerably longer time to address.
It’s easy for us, as consumers, to complain about their product, but do the most vocal complainers truly understand what it takes to make a good game? Do you know how to program net code or fix graphical issues? I think it’s unreasonable to expect complete and utter perfection from a small studio’s first major release.
Activision can churn out a new COD every year if they want, but Brink took SD quite a long time to produce. You can expect it to take a proportional amount of time for them to do an post launch fixes.

oh i tried to be specific with a trouble ticket on bethesda site as well as request for support from the tech forum here

got ignored by bethesda and no responses from anyone at s/d tech forum

that makes this the next stop

get your facts straight before slinging mud retard

oh and the cut and paste quote was in regards to your pulling facts and quotes out of thin air in your last post that had nothing to do with what we were talking about (nerfing game aspects, gun balancing? were you finishing a conversation with someone you were talking to last week?) stay on topic here moron

[oO_Para_oo]

[QUOTE=AzK;305934]Been playing the pc version since the eu release, made r5 yesterday, this is my feedback in no particular order of importance:

1)Assault rifles could use an accuracy boost when firing from the hip and should be a bit more stable when using the iron sights, atm there’s almost no reason whatsoever to use one over a smg (i bet you’ve checked game statistics and what people use and you know it’s true).

2. I REALLy hope you’ll add female characters as dlc eventually, also think of those poor ark men i mean no wonder they’re so angry.

3. No one shot kills in this game? I guess you were joking since sniper’s oneshots are all over the place, and it is very well possible to make people worse than miserable by just camping with it. Not my favourite playstyle but i tried it myself and it’s ridiculously easy aswell, it can get really aggravating in some matches where everyone starts doing it. Also, they’re usable backup weapons for light/med body types … bug?

4. Heavy body types pretty much suck, and the reason is their exclusive weapons are nothing special and have more downsides than upsides. The heavy mgs should have better accuracy and less recoil to allow for sustained fire, that body type looks like the freaking hulk, are you telling me they can’t handle some recoil? The minigun (apart from not doing that much damage and being insanly inaccurate) setup time is insanly long , making it basically worthless. The nade launcher recoil is insane and the reload time is even worse.
   So yeah, heavies have little/no access to smart, are slower, and get crap weapons. No wonder there’s so few of them. Having 10% or whatever more hp doesn’t balance all the downsides, and don’t even think about buffing their health even further as a solution cause that would not make them more fun to play as. (Again i bet you’ve checked game statistics and what people use and you know it’s true)

5. There’s so few clothes and weapons customization options, from the ads and everything i would have expected a wardrobe/armory 10 or more times bigger than what’s available… not that big of a deal, but still…

6. In Refuel, or whatever the name of the map with the plane is, sound ALWAYS bugs and mutes right at the start

7. Engi turrets are fairly crap (even the last one) dmg is fine and so is the range (ok maybe range could be improved a bit) i’d say, but their reaction times / ai need to be improved greatly since 9 out of 10 times they don’t get a single shot off even when the enemy destroying them is right there nearby. I don’t want turrets that instakill people, but i’d like they actually managed to shot a bit and put some pressure before going down. Also they seem to be having troubles locking on to people at different ground levels.

8. Had a player who was invisible for several games in a row, no one could see him but he was killing people, although he wasn’t killing that much to make me think of a cheater so i think it may be a bug.[/QUOTE]

Agreed + Plus turrets need a zoom option on left trigger, nades need reworking making then bigger and more exciting to look at, I play heavy and all his weapons are ****e unless you are in a corridor and 10ft away.

I think it’s really funny that you’re getting no attention because from what I see from your actions you’re a hysterical drama queen. There’s no mud slinging genius. Just wait your turn. You’re like the idiot that gets in line for customer service at walmart and continues to bitch about walmart to everyone around you. No one feels sorry for you because you’re making a scene and being an ass about it.

If you don’t like the product and have no faith in the company to take care of it then return the product. Sorry if you lost money on the deal. But I personally believe the kinks will get worked out and SD will make it up to their community. In the meantime everyone who is having issues does not need to make a scene. It’s not helping anyone. Not even you. It’s just keeping you riled up and self-righteous.

They ARE making it up. Free DLC coming in June is awesome. Whereas Call of Duty charges you for a couple of new maps, SD is giving them out.

funny how s.d fans think that the worst launch in the last 10 years should be defended

if you think people who dropped 50$ on this and can’t play it(40% of all users apparently) should be silenced your delerious man

yeah check these forums flooded with requests begging for support

its just me who’s bitching…lol

get of your high horse and realize this is how companies find out they have bad business practices

never in steams history has a game sold so many copies and so few people actually playing it

what does that tell you?

oh wait now i sound like an educated consumer and not the idiot at walmart (bad analogy by the way)

get a life
