Here’s a cool story for you.

I tried playing some Brink at the end of the day like half an hour ago and just quitted after playing for 20 seconds. Tried different guns and character but quitted after playing one minute. I just decided to turn my Xbox off after that.

Guess I don’t get any satisfaction from seeing XP on my screen anymore. Brink with randoms is certainly not suspenseful or stimulating anymore at all. You just see people randomly running around and dying. What fun is it playing Medic? What fun is it playing an Engineer and seeing a progress bar progress? Yay.

Maybe I should travel to London and start some new riots. Nah, I think that would bore me to hell after 15 minutes anyway.

DLC brought Lots of newer players. I took a break from Brink this weekend so far.
Will play tonight. Maybe I will play with ya, and you won’t have to play with
the chickens and lemmings. :slight_smile:

That’s sweet Wolf but I don’t think I’m going back to Brink. I’ll have to once again find something else to pass time.

Sad to say it but I think Brink is done.

I’ll probably be uninstalling the game when Red Orchestra 2 comes out. I’d still play Brink but ati doesn’t want to fix their problems with the game and SD is quiet about the future of the game.

How is this even possible!?!?

I know that is supposed to be an exaggeration but you need to spend a lot more time experimenting with different weapons and characters before you can form any real opinion about them.

Oh I see, so you have an ADD and you blame SD?

Fail,

Well this was not the first day playing Brink and that’s the point. I’ve had enough and I just thought that maybe if I pick a grenade launcher and let it go but it didn’t give me a boner when I saw the XP and I didn’t like seeing my team lay on the ground. And the map was ****ty, too. I can’t remember the map’s name right but it was the only lobby available when I searched for games.

Yeah and I wouldn’t try to diagnose anyone online. I know about mental conditions and stuff and almost anyone can be fitted to any of them if you pick up right examples from right situations.

Wait a second! I know why you rage quitted! You ran into some of SHFT Clan, PHO7ON and IMattersI and got destroyed.
Humbling ain’t it? After ya run into them you have to put your controller down for a day and reflect.
Ha ha ha! :slight_smile:

No I don’t think there was any clan. I wasn’t even angry, playing just didn’t provoke any reaction. My team was just running in circles and I got like 87XP after I did a boring objective and shot two guys without killing them. I revive myself while playing Medic and throw two guys revive syringes and shoot two more enemies and the third kills me. The guys I threw revive syringes blew their chance obviously. I didn’t feel like waiting 28 seconds so I quit.

Training Wheels. Maybe you could get them on the mic and be an ambassador of the game, and school them up! Teach’em the skillz. :slight_smile:

So you suffer from a lack of memory retention in addition to ADD. Tell me, did you grow up in a house with lead-based paint?

Hey! I’ve been diagnosing personality disorders and mental conditions online sine 1990. (My psychologist told me it was a great way to relieve stress.)

(1111) #12

LOL no but it was a map that doesn’t come so often.

And who says everyone who attended the riots has ADD? Actually, it wouldn’t mind if I was the one behind the police shield and had a permission to beat the rioters. See, here’s a career choice for me.

While your assumption is hilarious (and somewhat disquieting) I was referring to the second sentence in this quote. The first sentence is just included for reference.

You sound like you suck tbh. less than 1 min. lol.
Seriously. You might as well have said, " I rented the game and it wasn’t like CoD. I had think and I died so I quit."

(morguen87) #16

^ I think the main problem isn’t because “it wasn’t like CoD.” It’s from the lack of content. There’s only so long most people can play the same few maps over and over and over with a small community; and that’s if they’re lucky enough to play with a decent size group of players - playing the same few maps over and over and over with bots gets stale even faster.
While some games can get away with a small map selection, Brink is not one of them. The reason is that the whole map is never used in Brink. Most areas of the maps are just plain useless and don’t see any traffic. For instance, you usually have 2 options: run straight the the choke point, or take some round about way to the choke point. Either way, you end up at the same choke point and taking longer to get there just makes the round about way useless. Yes, flanking is a tactically sound strategy, but the maps aren’t designed very well to take advantage of that when the choke points are mostly at bottle necks. Instead of playing the same maps over and over and over again, I guess it’s more like playing the same linear choke points over and over and over again.

Brink should have been a $14.99 downloadable title from the get go. Very, very poor excuse for a full title game when it was released with such little content…and seemingly, with such little effort. It’s 3 months after release, after multiple patches, updates, and a free DLC, and it still feels no where close to a $60 game.
I would be very interested to see what the file size would be in relation to other downloadable titles if they got rid of the characters’ outfit options.

It’s also the same reason I will never buy another game made by you, SD. Yes, I still want Brink to improve and I’m happy you guys are working on it, but that’s because I already made the mistake of buying it. You don’t come off as an honest company releasing such a shoddy product with obvious flaws that literally should have been impossible to miss during testing and if your next product is anything similar to Brink’s quality I want absolutely nothing to do with it anyway. Still trying to patch the game 3 months later into an average at best game is shameful and doesn’t make up for any of the mistakes you’ve already made.

Don’t blow it out of proportion either.

Some days, we just don’t feel like putting ourselves in the game, or we have little patience for “warming up” until we get to a good game with a team knowing what to do. For example in my case, some days I start to play (Brink or ETQW before, or BFBC2, whatever), and I realize I can’t aim for s**t. I get steamrolled and get annoyed, frustrated, because I know I can play better, and as a result I get more and more annoyed. It is usually better to stop anyway, because otherwise I’ll spend 2 hours and end up ragequitting or just quitting but be frustrated anyway.

We can’t have the magic mojo or patience everyday, so sometimes a good offline solo adventure game, a good building session in terraria or minecraft, is good enough !

Playing too much of a game can make it boring faster too, I like to alternate a bit of multi FPS with some solo rpg or rts with friends, and of course all these indie games demos on steam to find my next personal gem.

Anyone else see the title of this thread and think it might be a review of KMFDM’s latest album?

(thesuzukimethod) #19

lol, had no idea KMFDM had gotten back together…this comment makes me feel old.

(RabidAnubis) #20

Guys. He’s leaving, and there’s nothing we can change about that.

If your getting tired of Brink, play another FPS or game. If you come back and feel really awesome, then it’s awesome. If you don’t just shelf it. I don’t think it’s worth selling at this point.
