i like having bots. i don’t always want to play online. sometimes there are obnoxious idiots. other times i just want to relax and not have real people depend on me. sometimes it’s just nice to enjoy a game without other people.
This game isnt "Revolutionary" <_<
[QUOTE=tokamak;308837]I’m not commenting on the quality here, just comparing to how different Brink is from recent shooter titles.
Brink is a radical change, first game to seperate classes from the weapons, three radically different bodytypes allowing for all kinds of weird setups. There’s no other game that comes close this.
Just the mere fact that you’re calling it an excellent foundation for future games means that it’s already revolutionary. It took a huge leap for better and worse and the rest of the shooter genre is watching with bathed breath to see where it went wrong and where it went right in order to evolve the shooter further.[/QUOTE]
Overstatement of the year right there.
[QUOTE=hawksking;308591]Okay im really pissed off right now, all the hype of months and this is what I get?
1)Over powered bots that sometime have 0 reaction time and kill you before you even shoot.
2)In “Multiplayer” I expect to play with multi “players” not bots, if we wanted that then why not just erase the multiplayer since they are consumed by bots.
3)Why do I lag like hell when playing freeplay? I dont pay expensive bills every month to get this kind of lag… fix your damn servers or program the game to choose a better host…
4)How about simplifying the game and keeping it bot free…
This isnt revolutionary… The dev think the bots are smart but they were a waste of time and experiment. Reduce there reaction time but i prefer removing them so we can play the actual MULTIPLAYER
Thanks again for wasting my money… … …[/QUOTE]
The revolutionary aspect of this game was the S.M.A.R.T movement sytem, everything else is what you would expect in most shooters. dont know why ppl moan about the game not being revolutionary and then neglect to mention the S.M.A.R.T.
Even without SMART people would find this a really fresh, or in a more negative sense, odd and weird game. Smart only helps it making more radical by amplifying the differences between players.
It is also the driving force of the game in my opinion, without it i would’nt have bought BRINK. i dont really care about character customising which everyone seems to obsess over in this, its not the main feature, just the feature all the kids get thier first stiffy over.
S.M.A.R.T in terms of FPS is revolutionary in that it adds a whole new element to the game instead bumping into an object you could clearly vault over, S.M.A.R.T makes sense of the world. If Call of Duty had a similar movement system i’d be happy as a pig in **** but it does’nt and thats why it feels linear and boring now.
Without S.M.A.R.T the game would be a very mediocre FPS, that being said the S.M.A.R.T is 99% perfect
[b] They never claimed that Brink was revolutionary. At the end of the trailers it said Evolution and then it turned into Revolution. I always thought they were talking about the Ark being the evolution of civilization and that a revolution was happening.
Regardless, this game is innovative and an evolution of shooters. After Brink there is no reason any shooter should have less movement options. Every shooter should have at least the Heavy’s range of movement. I am so tired of waist high fences or boxes hindering my movement or blocking my path.
Character customization isn’t necessary, but it is a plus. I like knowing I look unique and different. I also like that friends can pick me out of a crowd. The class customization is pretty balanced and adds way more options than something like COD’s perk system. Only my opinion, but hey.
Thank you SD, keep working hard to make our great shooter better! <3[/b]

Best example, Nuke Town in Black Ops has a 3 foot fence blocking an entire extra block of fully modeled housing and we can’t jump it? Lol! Or having to take the time to run around stairs when in brink as a Light body type I could jump half of them to get in the building faster. I could slide under trucks to the other side.
SMART opens up so many options. I hate when I read reviewers or players that say the system is useless. This isn’t Mirror’s Edge meets COD and we aren’t jumping along rooftops. I have had more fun running and sliding or jumping over cover in this game than any other FPS games and a hell of a lot of TPS games!

- Thats how bots always are and are meant just to fill slots, or sometimes people just want to relax and play by themselves.
- That’s because other people have bots fill unused slots turned on, not Splash Damage’s problem.
- Xbox sucks and has a long history of not being able to run it’s own game.
- Doesn’t warrant a response.
- You didn’t address any reason why this game isn’t revolutionary.
- Quite whining, I’d like to see you do better. You probably can’t even read/write a single coding language.
- You’re an idiot.
