[QUOTE=Kalbuth;326277]Correction : Brink map doesn’t suck YOU in. You are not me, and some other.
Agreed. I should have stated Brink’s map design doesn’t suck ME in. However, I said “you” because I was referring to others as well that seem to agree with me. But you’re right, I should have said that it doesn’t suck me in.
Stating without any backup that CS is good and Brink is bad (because, that is all that you are saying, nothing more, no argument behind) is pretty baseless.
Well, we all know what CS is I think. I assumed I didn’t have to give examples of what made CS so much better. The game is over 10 years old and yet it is still brought up and praised because it is a legendary game. 10 years from now, will Brink be brought up AND praised by the masses? We shall see. But like I said, I assumed and I apologize.
Brink has issues, plenty.
agreed.
I would really, really appreciate, that people stop trying to dictate me I should dislike this game.
Re-read what you write, this is what you are saying. And when I dare point out that, yes, I enjoyed playing Brink, I’m an automatic fanboy.
I don’t think anyone is trying to force you to dislike this game just like I don’t think anyone is trying to force me to LOVE this game, as I only LIKE it right now.
People talk only bout “poor map design”. Where, exactly? What is wrong in Shipyard design, exactly?
Chokepoints? That’s got to be a joke, there are at least 4 or 5 ways en route to obj 1, with alternate missions opening/closing routes (ie, it’s not all about concentrating on the obj itself), well … where is the poor map design? It lacks Parkour? Try visit the upper levels…
I know nothing about designing maps nor much to know about what EXACTLY is wrong with them. All I know is that TO ME the maps are very bland. It’s just that feeling that you get that something is not right. Again, pure opinion and no facts. However, I should not have to apologize for this because it is my opinion and no one should apologize for having an opinion.
Every thread is spammed with whines, even when the subject is not about voicing your opinion on the game (look the DLC announcement thread going downhill, they talk from everything but DLC content there), mixing all kind of complaint, valid facts with taste issues altogether, and labelling people having different tastes as fanbois, because they dare like the game, or some of it! Heresy!
Yes. Just like I’m automatically labelled as a COD fanboy because I mention that I have fun with COD. I have fun with it, it doesn’t mean I’m a huge fan of it. If I’m a fanboy of anything, It’s Battlefield. No one should be labelled a fanboy because they enjoy something.
Facts :
- ATI issues
- Sound issues
- Server instability
- fecked up matchmaking on consoles, making it difficult, if not impossible, to have a normal player vs player game that you can find on PC
- slight balance issues (yes, slight, with big effects) making light / Carb-9 the swiss knife it shouldn’t be
- lack of control over … controls, with F key making PC bordering to console and bringing issues (like reviving the wrong person, and so on …)
- not competition ready : no demo recording, no 1st PoV spectating, lack of cvar control, too heavily defense favored for 5on5 or 6on6 comp format
These are fact, hard ones, big ones, important ones. The ones people should whine about.
I keep being seen as fanboi when I point out that :
- poor map design is a non argument when not backup up
- lack of TDM is trying to make Brink what it’s not meant to be
- Masses not following the game isn’t indicative of its quality or interest
These are taste issues. And if you hate the game for taste issues, then maybe, maybe, the game is simply not made for you.
All COD franchise game, I got them all, I hated them all. You didn’t see me go on a rampage on their forum because I genuinly think their lonewolf gameplay sucks balls, did you?
You don’t, but others do. Again, let’s not make more personal than it already is. People do complain about COD and that’s fine. There isn’t one game out there that people do not complain about. Like I said, everyone is different and have different opinions. Some voice them, others don’t. But in the end that’s all they are – opinions. Just because you have all COD and hate them all, does that make it fact that COD is a terrible game? No, it does not. I have Brink and I don’t think it’s spectacular, so does that mean that it’s NOT a spectacular game? No, it just isn’t to me and that is my opinion. You don’t enjoy COD’s lonewolf gameplay, but I enjoy it because COD is just a game I play for fun and I don’t want to be bothered to try to win or communicate with my team. All opinions

Kalbuth, you bring up really great points and I agree with pretty much all of them. So far all your posts have been very constructive and you have kept it as non-personal as possible and you’ve been very rational and I appreciate that.
