So again here we are at the drawing board.
Your only argument is that by actually displaying stats this will turn Brink into a COD fragfest.
Other games have maintained their momentum and repeated sequels because of stat tracking in amazing games.
For the record, I hate Call of Duty. I prestige’d 1 time in Blops, then traded it in because it was boring. I’m a much bigger fan of Dooms, Quakes etc. Games SD worked on, that have TDM and stats in them. So i’m still confused on your argument.
Norb you must have missed the previous 6-8 posts or so. Go back and read them and you’ll be in line with the conversation. It shifted a bit since the OP.
Again, maybe you’re speaking of the PC version, and you guys can keep your stat-less game.
Brink will die on consoles without stats to “carrot on a stick” its players. THAT is a fact. It will become boring, and console players have a much larger library of games to draw them away from Brink. I would think you’d want this game to do well for years. Not just for a few months until BF3, MW3, Gears 3 (insert several other titles here) are released and Brink won’t even be a memory.
If you know anything of console shooters, you know its true.
You still are yet to present a valid argument against stats except “it will make this game like COD.” Which it won’t. As i’ve said before you can kill 100 people, but if you don’t repair that crane you lose. How is that hard for everyone to understand?
And if you add stats, and add TDM, and theres about 100,000 people that only want to play Brink that way, is that so horrible? If adding those modes were to sell another 200,000 copies, and net Splash Damage roughly another $8-10 million would you still be against it? Thus supporting this great developer and netting them the funds required to produce an amazing sequel in a couple years?
Because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but all the high profile reviews aren’t very good. This alone is detracting from purchases by a long shot.
I had to hold my own Brinkcon here at my house. I invited several friends over to try it out, and allow me to show them whats great despite the reviews. We had home made meatball subs, it was awesome.
And all of them went out and purchased Brink. And they all agreed (as xbox players) that if all 4 items on my wishlist were satisfied, Brink would have staying power for years.
Again, please do not defeat a good argument with something as dumbed down as “COD KD PLAYERS OMG.” Grow up and expand your logic a bit. Think of the fun generated for others, and revenue generated for Splash Damage/Bethesda. Not just your own personal issues with the idea, thats rather selfish to dictate how others are spending their 60$.
FYI, not that I enjoy feeding useless trolls, but i’m married with children. Very mature comment there bud. If you’d actually read my posts normally instead of through the red lens that you are blinded by you’d realize there are some good ideas that would bring enjoyment to thousands.
