My Biggest Disappointment

(Tear 08) #62

[QUOTE=fearlessfox;324398]While this is very true in essence, a thriving community relies on more than just you and your friends playing each other over and over again.

The same people will just become predictable.

Plus how about getting a team together and taking on unknown quantities? That’s part of the /major/ thrill of competitive gaming.

There’s a big difference between logging into a private server and a pub, and both are required for many of us to enjoy an online game.[/QUOTE]

…Yeah, I wasn’t serious about the 15 people thing, what I’m getting at is that as long as I can find a Match with people, I’m happy, I do seriously doubt that the population will fall to the point where you know all the Players on a first name basis…this game might not be thriving with a whole hell load of people every day, but I’m not foreseeing the people that thoroughly enjoy the game just abandoning it, and believe it or not, there’s a fair amount of people that enjoy this game…

Ahhhh the good thing about saying that brink will prolly fail at some point (loooong before the release) makes me out of your concern jess, I’m happy :smiley:

And yet I defend the game and SD when I think the comments and concerns are juste stoopidz, I must be a damn masochist!

Some tips for you :

  1. If someone is speaking about levels, XP or hack just ignore him : like, “well i’m level 20 in 2 days and SP is boring”, he clearly have all wrong and didnt read the reviews about Brink or dont know SD as the game is a MP game before everything, and the easy rank up is there for a reason! “But But But, CoD haz 50 levels! I’m soooo mad!!! now” -> just let these people out of these board and off the game, they wont be missed.

  2. If someone is raising valuable pconcerns about the game for the 6’th time in the morning, and if there are more than 2 threads discussing the same subject already (especially on the same page), see 1)'s conclusion.

  3. If someone is using rather good arguments, isnt filling his post with hatred, stay verbally correct without insutling others and dress up a list of concerns, or discuss an already made list without opening a new thread, Bingo! You are on the “Brink PC feedback” thread which is a sticky on the front page! You can now stop lurking on the other threads and stay there, it’s warm and welcoming :smiley:

Peace

So the PC feedback thread, or the AI feedback thread?

So people with feedback on more general ideas, with feedback on consoles, or the desire to discuss aspects of the game they’re disappointed with in an intelligent and mature fashion that aren’t auto assigned to these threads… they go where?

[QUOTE=kali.mist;323798]With respect, you are talking bollocks.
The game has been a terrible disappointment, especially on pc. Many of us had great hopes. I preordered a few copies for my friends. Never again. Another nail in the pc shooter coffin. Even without the performance problems the game itself is a limited, funnelled and mostly joyless experience. I have played to level 15 but just out of stubborness. Ill leave it there. A couple of patches on and a number of GC hotfixes and it still looks and plays terrible. Wish this was not the case.
Stick a fork in its ar$e and turn it over.
Its done.[/QUOTE]

You only played to level 15, what, with one character? How can you possibly comment on the game.

Game looks and plays great.

Buy a new PC maybe?

[QUOTE=Nullzero;324087]The game wasnt ready for release, simple as that.

OBVIOUS bugs were apparent within 1-2 hours of play. Weapon and body type balance issues noticable within 10 hours of play. And map balance issues pretty obvious within a few more.

How is it that I find all these issues within 15 hours of play… and they had 3 years to test and get it right, and couldnt fix these most obvious of isssues? ANSWER: game isnt finished. Its easy to see why people are pissed.[/QUOTE]

But I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, because I have not encountered any of these “issues” you contend are so obvious.

And I have found none of these issues in many more hours of play than you have amassed.

(Up&Down) #67

[QUOTE=eMwegA;323843]because other companies cheat on their footage it makes cheating on brinks footage okay? valid argument… And if they show ingame scenes, yes im that stupid, i thought that those scenes were really what brink would look like. im a pc user btw. cant even play brink on native resolution on my 22" tft xD (HD 5870 E8400@3.0ghz)
Im not only talking about graphics. I just expected more. for example: In one trailer they said “Sp and Mp will merge in Brink creating a revolutionary online expirience” (something like that) now tell me this was not a lie?!

Edit: The black and white thing is correct. But think about the issues ppl having. I can only play in low res bahhhh mode. im “black” and i think i have every right to be there :wink:[/QUOTE]

Go and watch trailers from BFBC2 and tell me it looks the same. Yes they ALL do it.

Upgrade your PC if you want to play the latest games, or go buy a console if can’t afford to keep up.

So funny reading these posts, just funny how ALL the same things get bitched about from the same minority for every game that gets released.

They use an already existing thread and ask a mod to sticky it? not that hard…

The problem is lack of sub forums.

And the /entire/ point of allowing users to create threads and having a dynamic forum is for the community to dictate what’s worthy of discussion and for these things to float and sink based on relevance.

You don’t get to dictate what threads go where, and your /opinion/ of the value of certain threads is just that.

(Apples) #70

It is just non effective to have 5+ threads on the same subjects rather than one thread with many posts, it’s as simple as that, this way you can have all pros and cons in one thread instead of having to browse for the entire forum in order to have a global view of said subject.

I’m not on a crusade against new thread for nothing or because of my “opinion”, it’s a simple fact that its less effective, the fact that its boring is another matter.

Same could be said for every single thread. If we followed your rule to the end there would be 10 stickied threads and no need to create anything new.

The dynamic nature of the forum keeps things efficient, ie: irrelevant things sink, relevant things get discussed.

That’s how it works, not some absolute view of what is worth more.

I’m playing Gears with a friend becuase he doesn’t want to play BRINK :o

Don’t worry… I still hang on to the vine that is BRINK and love it :stuck_out_tongue:

But yes… It feels like people are going away from the game becuase of other people complaining, like domino-bricks, one says something - one thinks it’s true and thinks it’s a good reason to **** on BRINK - then someone else thinks the same becuase this second guy did

Not really tho, the 10 stickied threads would be all feedback threads, and the other ones can be more light ones, such as “what do you think if? what do you think about?”, not necessarily “What is broken?”, got my point already?

In a way I’m agreeing with you because if there were stickies your view would be more represented, so what’s wronng with that?

As for a separated board for PS3,PC and XBOX, I’m all for that but I’m not sure it will happen…

You’re attempting to value threads that discuss aspects of the game as somehow more worthy then threads giving feedback and opinion.

As explained, there is no absolute rule that assigns this kind of value and the dynamic sink or swim nature of forums keep things tidy.

I’ve seen just as many threads asking “What do you think about?” that are repetitions of very common discussions. The exact same inefficient repetition happens there.

Simple solution: ignore all threads that are repeats and they will die.

(Apples) #76

I know that, the point is that which one is repeat of the other one then? As some of them can differ slightly or bring new ideas to the table, why not condensate them in the same thread to focus the discussion and be more productive?

I understand where you come from but it’s just an unecessary hassle to look thru X pages every morning just to find the topic you were following, or to see 1-2 new pages filled with rant everytime I open this forum.

Make a XBOX feedback, and PS3 feedback, as sticky, but even with that people will continue to start new threads… my biggest concern lie (as usual) with the people not capable of using the search function or not knowing how a forum works.

If I would be mod I would simply regroup the similar threads alltogether in order to keep a valuable reading for everyone, and after someone took the time to read the X pages of all the opinions and tips he usually have nothing to ad, and thats the best. A forum is here for discussion and for that I agree 100% with you, but as in democracy, if everyone was allowed to express their concerns in public everytime without any fences and without someone watching for the repetitions, it would be a mess! This is exactly the same here IMO.

You just don’t understand how a dynamic forum works.

PS - you don’t need to scroll through the forums to find posts you made, you can do that by easily tracking them via your profile.

(vetus) #78

This game is huge dissapoinment. There is so many incredibly stupied ideas.
1 - This is worst shooting system I ve ever experienced (before I thought that CS had worst one, but in CS you could at least shoot the 1st bullet where you wanted). ALso Ironsighting is designed wrong, lol. Instead of your weapon’s crshir “jumping”, your bullets are just spreading and you can’t control it.
2 - BUFFs - funny, enjoyable idea during FFA but destructing thing on clan-wars. Implemented by peaople who had never plaied competetive game.
3 - Terribly designed maps. How could ever imagined something like this:
“Ok, 1 team attacks and 2nd one defense. As much 1st-team progreses, the longer way thay’ll have to go to objective, while 2nd-team’s way would be shorter. Till defending team will have an objective next to their spawn, and be full buffed.”

Point 2 and 3 togather are destrying this game.

4 - weapons LOLed. Let’s implay 30 weapons and make just 1 of them viable, and allowed it on light body, while other weapons would be craps. (Have some of you checked Grante Louncher? LOL)

Brink it’s a game which have got popularity basis only on ET, ET:QW and ME, not by itself. I would like if there has been an option to get my monay back for this PC-shooter made for consoles.

Erm I know how a dynamic forum works… there is a huge difference beetween being dynamic and being a mess, and right now it is a mess…

I know that I can find my posts, but i also have to scroll thru everything to check if there are valuable info inbetween the mountain of crap we got everyday.

Well we wont agree here so I will shut up and rest my case.

This one of the problems too. If brink isn’t for you don’t play it. But that doesn’t mean you have to convince everyone else to not play the game as well. It is like dominoes. Some people would still play but because their “cool” friend hates brink now they are gonna be sheep and stop playing as well.

(Kalbuth) #81

If clan play is impossible on console because of no lobby system (honestly, I don’t know about that, but it looks like it), it’s fair console clanmates warn each others about the issue
If game is unplayable on ATI, it’s fair new players can be warned beforehand what to expect

If you shoots down Brink based on your tastes (you don’t like the shooting, how the map is designed, etc…), well, then yes, let others try without interfering
