My feelings and thoughts about the dissapointment known as Brink, we should stand up

(Hardkor4life) #1

Dear developer.

I have been a real fan of you for years. I have played all your classic games like Quake 1 and 2 and Quake Arena as well as old games like Doom, Hexen and Wolfenstein Castle. I was very excited when I heard u were making Brink which was suppose to be like Team Fortress 2 only better. I waited for Brink alot and when it finally came out i bought it as soon as posible. I ran home to turn it on and I will never forget what I saw. It was not a classic game like Quake Arena or Wolfenstein…it was nothing like a game I loved Quake War. It was…Brink and it was horrible.

My first thought was, Am I playing Unreal Tournament? Now back in the day when a lot of people betrayed your company and played Unreal Tournament instead of Quake 3 I BOYCOTTED Unreal and played Quake 3 and even bought my friend a copy who was platying Unreal to get him back to the roots.

Now I am not a big Fortress 2 fan, the kiddy cartoom graphics ruined it, but I was expecting Brink to bring something new to the table. What do we have? Well lets take a look. Do we have the classic balance of weapons we saw in Quake and Wolfenstein? Rockets, machinne guns, hyper blasters, heck flame throwers?

NO.

We have a bunch of generic rifles that all shoot the same.

Do we have large maps with secret areas like in Quake?

NO

We have a bunch of tiny maps.

Do we have a game with a deep learning curve for strategies and ways to frag like Quake and Wolfenstein Castle?

NO

We have a bunch of ppl shooting crappy guns randomly like in Halo which is vomit.

What I dont understand is WHY. Why release this crap failure of a game and ruin not only our expectations and love for u but also ur reputation as the kings of games? I know ur also working on Rage and I think u didnt hace time to develop this right so why waist your time? Why make a crappy game in between?

I have been very dissapointed and I will never trust uer company again. U have left me with a $50 pieve of turd thats like a 9.99 title on Xbox live and will never live up to the history of ur games. Brink is a dirty stain on all of your carriers and I know u dont care because u got my money but I hope no one buys rage and your business ends. I supported u because I hate games like call of duty but I will no longer support you becajuse Brink is a rip off and u ripped me off.

Good luck with Rage I hope the only rage that will come out is the rage of all you’re fans who u ripped off with this garbage bin game made for xbox live at 9.99. U used to be a company that took PC gamers first but now u betrayed us by making crappy console games. I think us reak PC gamers should boycott ur crap hole until we get an apology or a refund or a discount coupon on Rage which will hopefully not be a piece of crap like Brink. U stole my money but next time trust me it will bite you in the ass and it wont be pretty for u.

I hope other fans join me because I know most Brink players feel like this too if theyre long fans.

how can you follow this game for so long and be surprised by what you got?
I don’t get it.
this game does everything it was advertised to do. Which was? I’m not even sure.
I’d really like to know what all of these “false promises” were that people keep bringing up.

It has SMART, it’s a shooter, it focus’s on team objective gameplay.
What else was there supposed to be? That’s all I ever got from the ads/vids that I watched for OVER A YEAR.

Most of those games were not made by Splash Damage (We got Id software, Raven Software and Valve in one paragraph?!?). If you got that wrong, it seems you really didn’t know what to expect from this game, in which case I pity you for your loss of dollars. Other than that, I’m afraid I can’t help you now…

(Hardkor4life) #6

id made all those games except team fortress which was made by valves who also made half life. look on the boxes geez or did u pirate all you’re games?! Also nowhere in the ads did they say this game will have tiny maps and crappy guns and no strategy except random jumping around

(Kalbuth) #7

ID didn’t make Brink

(Hardkor4life) #8

Then why is there ID LOGO when I boot up LOL maybe ID now puts there name into other games?

Hey maybe next time I drive a toyota I will see a FORD logo on the steering wheel.

come on ppl get real

If you have been around for as long as Doom and Hexen, that would indicate that you are not a teenager and atleast in your 20’s. Your above post demonstrates that you should immediately disconnect all cabling in the back of your computer and take English and writing courses. You are in dire trouble.

(Kalbuth) #10

ID Tech engine was used to make Brink. That doesn’t mean ID made Brink. It’s just engine licensing
Splash Damage is the dev team

Ummm… Rage is being developed by id software. Like other people have said: you don’t seem to know who Splash Damage actually are or what they did. You named 1 of SD’s previous titles. Sorry you though the game would be like a game by a completely different company but I think you got your lines crossed somewhere and need to look at the developers’ names more closely next time.
Also note the publishers are different to the developers.

I must say I do find it funny that you’re PO’ed with Rage now. I don’t think id software will know what hit them :slight_smile:

EDIT: HAHAHHAHAHA:

I’m sorry you missed out on Unreal Tournament. 1999 was a great year, and you completely blew it. :frowning:

(Hardkor4life) #13

1999 was grate…BECAUSE OF QUAKE 3 ARENA, rofl. Also to those tellin me I need to take English classes well geniuses this is the web and its called netspeak not shakespeare. This is u, http://www.flamewarriors.com/warriorshtm/grammarian.htm

(wolfnemesis75) #14

Er. Approach Brink as if it is not any of those other games and is a new game with its own rules, depth, learning curve, and style. Problem solved. Play Brink. Don’t hope it is like <insert game here>

Good luck, brother.

(DarkangelUK) #15

No, it’s called ‘a poor excuse’ and nothing more.

Regardless, you’ve been wrong about many things in this thread… especially the id Software one (that did make me laugh).

(zenstar) #16

Dude. You should totally tell Microsoft what you think of their game. It says “Games for Windows” on all the PC versions.

Also: people who overuse netspeak/textspeak generally look like they can’t string a proper sentence together when communicating on a forum where you’re not limited by time or character space. My personal opinion, but if you use normal english it’ll look like you’re smarter.

(cdoty15) #17

I see no problems with this game at all… I also have never seen a point in boycotting video games because that will never work. There will always be people who like the game (like myself).

(Hardkor4life) #18

I think i enough ppl boyott rage we wont see another dissapointment like Brink also just because u type like charles dickens doesnt mean u say anythin smart

(DarkangelUK) #19

Are you seriously not grasping this at all? Rage is being created by id Software, Brink was created by SD… why would you boycott one developer due to issues you have with another developer? Personally… I think you should boycott all developers and just stop buying games all together.

(Kalbuth) #20

awww my…

Rage and Brink have nothing in common.
You can boycott Rage all you want, this wont affect Brink makers in the slightest
