Brink was a let down

(Brinkwasaletdown) #1

I was totally pumped for this game. I would be at work, watching videos of game play over and over again, even got a bunch of my friends hyped about it. I even decided to skip ****ing morning classes just to game hard all night long with my bros. Story mode is legit… but when I took it online is when I found that it lacked pretty much everything that should be in there.

Myself along with 4 friends jumped online to play a match with actual thinking humans. It’s confusing because it’s lacking. I thought there would be some sort of ‘Online mode’ with a bunch of different game modes…Nope.

There isn’t a lobby? you can’t start a party with friends? they just all have to join your game in progress? This was forgivable, but narrowing the variety of game modes to 2 different styles that aren’t even that different… Wtf is that? “gtfo with your COD, go play COD herpa derp a doo” COD is trash.

This “team work” that everyone is so ignorant and tight assed about is crap… I was the only F’ing medic on the team… no one waits for buffs, or waits for heals, no one cares about that, they just want to run around and shoot stuff. The god damn movie trailers didn’t depict team work… it was all lone wolf garbage. ONE FACTION AGAINST ANOTHER FACTION.

I have nothing against Bethesda, but those other guys who are tight ass about what they want… IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU, it’s about the people paying out almost $70 a disc. Myself along with my bros’ literally… I mean LITERALLY started asking at the same time, " Want to get on gears 3 beta instead? " … yep. Brinked for 40 minutes… felt disappointed and I really didn’t want to be, I tried so hard to like everything but it just sucked when it came to playing along with friends. Like it was there but no it wasn’t…

The game screams Team Fortress 2… is NO ONE realizing this? It’s what ‘Rift’ is to ‘World of Warcraft’, ‘Final Fight’ to ‘Streets of Rage’ et al.

Parkour + guns = Brink.

Anyway, enjoy making awesome games with smart interface, awesome graphics, but no real gumption … cause there isn’t any.

I’m going to return it to get my money back, sorry Devs.

(Angrim) #3

Was? As in past tense a few hours after NA release and days before EU release?

Really?

I don’t think you can expect people to be experts on release day
As everyone gets the hang of it this should resolve itself

You are blaming the developers because you played with idiots? I can’t see how that is even remotely due to Splash Damage’s work, or their fault. Blame your 4 friends for not hanging around and/or playing medic.

Splash Damage! I want my money back! Turns out my friends are terrible!

I dont want to call you stupid, and say that your opinion is pretty much worthless but the overwhelming quantity of evidence youve provided us is hard to ignore.

I guess i can understand the lobby frustration.

However your number of game modes argument is invalid, you are pretty much just saying “i dislike how this game isnt the exact same as all the other games”, believe it or not, but…some games can be different (take a few seconds to take that in), one game mode is all you need, evidence: ETQW.

I believe whats happened is you have thrown in the towl because you got angry that your team doesnt know exactly how to play withing an hour of purchasing the game.

P.s you sound like a cod fanboy even if thats not what you are

Anyone who uses ‘legit’ do describe the quality of something in a game doesn’t deserve to have his opinion recognised. :slight_smile:

(boozee84) #10

why don’t you just give this game and the community some time to understand how everything works?
i mean, it’s released a few hours now and you want to trade it in already?
do what you gotta do, but i think you’ll regret it someday. but that’s just my 2 cents.

(Senyin) #11

Calm down. Don’t you understand that right after release you can not
really judge the online experience? People are in the “test, try out and explore” stage
at this moment. They are not interested in fully playing yet, nor know the full mechanics yet.
Your 40 minutes should be at least 40 days before you can truly judge if you like or do not like this game.

(Norb) #12

haha every time I read a post like this I have this image in my head

Dont mean you btw mean the OP

(system) #13

Get back playing, nobody should judge an ET game after so little time.

I had to install ETQW-Demo about four times till I started to like the game.

(ThePilgrim101) #14

I don’t know where you work, but I feel like they should let you go. You seem rather “special”.

(BuzzNot.V1) #15

well all i can say is it does need work.

(Shadedluck) #16

Sure, but all games need work in the beginning.

(BuzzNot.V1) #17

it just seems like there is somethings missing. But there is still hope.

(Bridger) #18

Cool story bro.

I was kinda worried until you mentioned $70 on a disk, then the lack of teamwork made sense. You’re playing on a console. Don’t have to worry anymore :slight_smile:

P.S. TF2 is a fantastic game.

(SphereCow) #19

I don’t get why people are saying this is like tf2? It’s the difference between Wolfenstein:ET and Timesplitters or something. Completely different games.

(BuzzNot.V1) #20

indeed it is its own game.
