Okay. 2 things. Epic Fail is #1, reexperiencing black ops #2

(RabidAnubis) #1

(Listen, this is just a story about what happened to me Aug 11th, if you disagree then good for you. I know I practically asked for a flame war, but please, don’t worry about it.)

Okay.

I got on today. I was playing as the heavy, and my dad was drinking beer in small amounts on the couch (He can’t play for his life, but he does love to watch us play) so, I got on security tower, on the security side.

So, we owned the enemy from the pass code delivery, which is a rare spot to win. So I was thinking my team was epic.

Anyways, I continued onto Founder’s tower, still Security. My team defused the bomb, we started to run out… wait? What’s this? We had 18 minutes left on the the clock.

MY TEAMMATE PROCEEDED TO RUN AROUND UNTIL THE TIMER RAN OUT.

THE GAME FROZE SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO PULL THE POWER PLUG.

So, I popped in black ops which I haven’t done in 8 months.

1st off, the polygons were horrible. Say what you want to about Brink, but spotting polygons in this game takes actual searching.

Look on the inside of the sight, and see the fact that you can see sides to the inside.

See, try to spot the polygons on the rhett. I have difficulty with looking for them.

2nd off, I ran into a barrier. “Press X to jump over” what? No wall jumping? Very slow reloads?

3rd off, the metagame is EXACTLY the same. The brink metagame has evolved to 200% (Meaning the way people change has changed.) starcraft by 3000% and Call of Duty by about 120%. I could still find people with the claymores in the same exact spots. Maybe that’s why people say the maps suck in this game, is because it takes time to find the metagame out.

So, my dad admitted CoD sucked (He usually hates to watch Brink, playing as a Heavy with a Gotlung guarding a staircase is epic though)

If one thing sucks about Brink, is that it makes it frustrating to play any other FPS.

Thanks SD!

Yeah, I rage quit in BlOps and BFBC2 way too much now. Damn you Brink!

(RabidAnubis) #3

I mean, it’s not a perfect game is what makes it surprising. It barely scratches to go in the ‘great’ category.

Perhaps it’s the simplicity that causes complexity.

For instance, the L2 button is the most powerful button in the game.

Yet it is only one button.

but while black ops is one of most played games, brink is gonna die again…

in black ops the engine is still the modified tech 3 : yes can u imagine?
in black ops you hit what you aim: wow incredible in a fps
Hey guess what? In black ops there are more than 1 type of game. CTF, TDM, S&D.
iN BLACK OPS your ping is stable and there is a very good antilag. You can ping 200 that you still hit!
Weapons are really different from each other. In Brink the feeling is the same for all.
The game is fast even if your fov is 80 … so it’s not only a sensation.
The game is really smooth. In brink everything is artefact
mAPS OF BLACK OPS ARE SPECULAR and this way balanced.
If you play objective gam in BO, you know exactly what you have to do even if you never played it. In brink everything is confusing people cause there are 800 mini objectives to do before you achieve the primary one.
HERE ISNT BUGGY SMART.

And i could go on for a hour or so but in black ops… but i am tired to repeat what already people said…
and i want to teach you something.
The graphic is not important, even a **** graphic game can beat brink. It not important what time is, if a game is pleasant, people play it

7:22 am rome time

16,615 —>25,750 —>Terraria
576 ------->1,678 -------->BRINK

This is terraria

First off, I’m a console. So that is where this is coming from. I heard the PC version isn’t that good.

Black ops has horrid hit detection. Brink is better. The guns aren’t accurate, but I like it the way it is. I would rather have this or MAG like aiming then the COD, Aim down sights the gun is now perfectly accurate. See, here’s the different. In Brink, when you ADS YOU get more accurate. In CoD, the GUN gets more accurate. Brink is right in that situation.

I’d Say brink is closer to real life. Go play some paintball. I mean, I know it’s not real, but in real life it’s the PERSON who isn’t accurate, not the gun. I know this isn’t real life, so that’s not an argument.

I agree brink needs more game modes.

I agree lag is an issue on the PC.

Black ops has similar weapons worse than Brink. I mean, the sub machine guns are all THE SAME. At least Brink has SOME variation in clip sizes and such.

And, although most of what you said are your opinions and not facts, Splash Damage purposely made Brink to NOT be like Call of Duty. THANK F@@K!!!

No OP’d kill streaks that reward the best players, no instant death head shots, no dolphin diving, no 8 year olds yelling racist homophobic remarks about my mother between every match, etc.

mine are facts, not opinions or can u deny that in bo there is the tech 3?
or that there are more than 1 game type?
what are for you the opinions? Make a list!

B ut I guess you are just trollin’: It wasn’t me to compare brink with black ops. Op did it.
And btw numbers are a proof that brink isn’t played.
A game doesnt need the best graphic to be better than brink.
2 examples, minecraft and terraria

bye bye

(Anneliese Stone) #8

my friend who plays black ops daily has been able to figure out where claymores are most likely placed as such with other obstacles, so to him it’s a breeze.

i still can’t play it with out rage quitting.

BRINK most of the time you might know where a turret is placed, but with other stuff (satchel charges) might get frustrating but not by a whole much.

(Solarcrest) #9

CoD sucks ass always has always will /thread the only reason why so many play it is because everyone plays it so if ya wanna play with friends thats the game you get…and everyone gets it cause there is no learning curve other then knowing spots to camp/setup

Brink has flaws yes like other games don’t act like BlOps is golden its not

I guess you are trollin cause your argument is invalid: Wasn’t me to compare brink to black ops.
And btw numbers are a proof that brink still sux.
Op compared the graphics: a game doesnt need the best graphic to be better than brink.

I practice MMA. Far more people play bowling.

Are you saying MMA is an inferior sport? Is that really the argument you’re using?

no i am saying that nobody plays brink
Isnt that easy?

(Nexolate) #14

This is pretty much exactly what I’ve been saying for the past… 4 years?

Gaming, nowadays, is a horrible practice of making games for the lowest common denominator. I.e. For the people who don’t ever play games. As such, you get franchises like Call of Duty which don’t really do a massive amount and then just remake themselves each year with very minor additions.

Brink really struck me as different. I can curse the gunplay all I want, the fact of the matter is that Brink is a much more deep and involved experience than pretty much any other shooter on the market. As such, it’s not just the same old game of running around like headless chickens. There’s actual thought that goes on.

That’s why I’ve been saying, in pretty much every relevant thread, that I’ll buy more DLC and I’d buy a Brink 2. I’d much rather support a dev that actually tries to make a new, rewarding experience than those that just repeat the same old formula.

Regards,
Nexo

Many more people enjoy playing poker over bridge, both card games

Poker is easy to play and simple enough for the masses to learn. Kind of too simple if you ask me.

Bridge is a much more complex game, if not THE most complex card game on the planet. Hence, the average person doesn’t quite get it.

Bridge players are happy playing vs other bridge players. Let the average masses enjoy their poker.

I couldn’t play COD anymore after I started playing BC2 so that isn’t an issue, but I like bc2 and brink for their differences. In bc2 movement is difficult and in hardcore, gets you killed 80% of the time (excessive brink like movement, not movement at all).

My favorite parts of bc2 is the spawning system, the fact that all the weapons are balanced so they are mostly just preference, and most importantly the death animations (or lack there of). Killing someone then noticing someone spawned on him around a corner so you pull out your sidearm and steadily walk foreward while pumping round after round into the guys chest like the target practice scene from the movie SWAT only feels more epic when the guy being shot gets laid out at your feet instead of squirming around or shooting back at you with last stand.

I’m tempted to uninstall Brink at this point. This game is going nowhere and I still can’t play it on my computer without it either having a terrible frame rate or crashing every other map.

The devs don’t even bother to respond to my issues on the tech support board anymore so it gives me the impression they are stumped on what to do with this game.

SD wont even tell us if they’re going to even update or release more dlc for this game.

Are all your issues still related to bad framerate with your ATI card? Because if they are SD can’t do anything about it unless you’d like to give them money and time to rewrite ATI’s drivers. Either complain to ATI that the OpenGL drivers for your model of card are buggy as all hell or change your card (to an unaffected model or to an Nvidia) or stop playing the game.

Complaining about your low framerate constantly here is not going to help you solve your issue.

On topic: I like the look and feel of Brink. I don’t know where all the complaining about graphics comes from unless it’s console players complaining (xbox popup issue or something?). The game looks quite pretty on my PC and it’s a couple of years old now. The only other FPS I really play is E.Y.E divine cybermancy which has nothing to compare in the looks compartment but I like the cyberpunk & deus ex inspirations. I’ll definitely be trying out Deus Ex when it hits though :slight_smile:

what you say is just dumb! How old are you?

It’s a duty of devlopers test the game before the release. And it’s stil a duty of developers write on the box about anomalies and bugs. (examples: the game needs a connection to the internet or ATI owners could have a bad framerate experience during the game.)
But the problem is that those things come out when u test a game and the game is still undone so how can we pretend they tested it?

Fanboys. … … … Soon you will be the only ones in these forums, virtually blowing each others and spending generous words about this cool game that only you and maybe the devs please.

Its hard to play other FPS games now. They seem lame. :slight_smile:
