Maybe, but you wouldn’t understand the passion some people feel for the experience a truly excellent FPS can give you until you’ve tried one yourself.
I'm loving BRINK, do I troll?

Played Brink all summer and had a blast. Still looking forward to what comes next with the Ark and anything else forthcoming.

[QUOTE=.FROST.;378137]If someone has a problem with the art style(not the graphics) he/she is a complete moron if he/she bought the game nevertheless. Since that’s the most obvious difference to other fps games. I for example can’t play TF2 because of the art. I mean the textures are sharp and the game actually looks very nice, but everything looks like out of a looney toons cartoon. I’m a penciller and I love those old WB-cartoons, but NOT in a shooter game. So I don’t play the game.
And abilities; tell me when I’m wrong, but pyro mines, turrets, molotovs, caldrops, supply transfer, lazarus grenade, com post upgrading, field regen, emp grenade, etc, etc, etc are also abilities. And quite unique ones If I might add.
Story; no its not a mass effect kind of story, no its not a deus ex like multi-path stealth game and yes it not even has a traditional SP. But there is an overall believeable story wich I’d like to discover further. The game is basically the synopsis of a really interesting story. A little short, but nevertheless interesting. Both factions are interesting and have personality. It wouldn’t hurt though if somebody would write a paperback novel about the quite rich backstory of Brink.
Customization; Aehm? If you give a “F” about it why the hell don’t you just go and play your random fps game with only three different classes and outfits for each side? It was clear from the beginning, that SD put their emphasis and much of their resources in the abilitie to customize your char. That’s a huge part of the game. Even though its not very important ingame. But then again for what do we need great graphics, are they not as unimportant too? Should we play CS 1.6 forever. I think most people don’t remotely understand what a huge effort this customization-thing must have been for SD. It wasn’t just a gimmick for them. It was/is the soul of Brink. Even more than SMART. At least thats what I consider.[/QUOTE]
You must hate even the Idea of borderlands then =/

Please explain that to me. Since you probably know me better than I do. What sentence of the above led you to that completely wrong conclusion?
And I suggest you to thoroughly read my post again. I don’t like it too cartoony in a fps. With emphasis on “too”. Since I love the artstyle of Brink and it has oviously a cartoonish influence. But it also has a huge amount of rust dirt and realism in it. As I allways like to say; BRINK is the fps version of a Greg Capullo Comic. At least visually. Buy yourself the " the Creech" tradepaperback and you’ll know what I mean.
I’m a huge comic-book fan and comics are just a medium like TV, books and computers. Cartoon is just a style. So if something has outlines like a comic-book drawing it doesn’t necessairly means, that it looks cartoony. Though many comics feature at least a little bit cartoonish influence. And so does Borderlands wich I consider a post-apocalyptic fps-rpg version of a playable comic-book. But its not overly cartoony.
So I considered it many times(to this day) if I should pick it up or not. Since I’m a nut with everything sc-fi, post-apocalyptic and dystopic. If I had endless time to spare I’d have allready picked it up. But since that’s not the case I only pick up games of wich I know with no further consideration that I have to have them. And they are allready too many, so Borderlands is in the end of the line, but that doesn’t mean its bad or I don’t like it. There are just so many games you can play.
PS: Borderlands looks exactly like a BRINK or a RAGE-comic would/should do. And I love the first one and I will love the other one. Not the slightest doubt about that.
