This is turning into a bit of a joke.

i have completed all 4 3star challenges yet only 2 have been ticked.
The parkour one was extremely simple, done that in 5 minutes practically with no problems.

tower defence was odd, i had completed the lvl3 before hand yet it did not tick, then i retried it with a friend and on the first level we were swarmed with at least 10 enemies no exaggeration, we died ofcourse and returned to the main menu to try a different challenge when i realised it was now ticked for some reason.

Escort has proven disagreeable, i have completed it with my friend twice and solo around 3 times and yet it still insists on being incomplete.

The most annoying one has come to form in the shape of ‘be more objective’, despite the ****e level design and godly accuracy of your rivals, i found it do-able, i have completed it twice solo, once with a friend and once with a group of 4 randomers yet it is still incomplete.

Brink has become the worst game i have ever bought for my ps3 and hope that splash damage do indeed come out with a patch that fixes these and all other problems even though it cannot redeem the game.
Although even with all things considered it was fun, the basic gameplay elements were alot of fun eg. the shooting, running and customisation. Everything else was utter balls, i do however hope that someone does create a sequel as this game has a unique flavour to it that i would be dissapointed to see wasted on this sorry excuse for a FULL PRICE game.

SD, you failed to live up to the hype you created, its that simple, i will be trading in brink and hopefully get portal 2 in return, although you probably don’t care, you already have my money -_-

Doesn’t count unless you do it solo. Took me a lot of frustration but I did it and I have my platinum trophy.

I got all the 3star challenges. You have to do them all solo and with the same character for the xbox achievement. I am not sure how PS3 works with that stuff. All the other stuff you say I’ve heard a lot since Brink came out from some gamers, but I disagree. It is a very fun game and lived up to the hype for me. It is very challenging and requires teamwork which is the polar opposite for most FPS games. How much progress were you able to make in Brink out of curiosity?

I have 5 characters, 2 are level 20 1 is level 13. And I got all the achievements and weapon attachments and outfits.
What did you get? Did you find the secret passages on all the maps?

Well that is the most idiotic thing i have seen in a game since brink decided i was too high of a level to play with any of my friends.

2 level 20 chars, 60-70% of the trophies.
The principles are good like i said but the execution was aweful.
It is a game which requires teamwork yet there were so many blockades against me teaming up with even my friends to have a game. I don’t think i should be blocked out of games because i have been playing it for an hour longer. The rank system is rediculous, once i was in a game with 1 friend, as thats the only one who could join me, and during our playthrough he ranks up to lvl 4, suddenly i find myslef having to stop playing with my friend and grind online with micless idiots just so i can resume playing.

You need to set you default to My Rank or Higher not My Rank. Its in the menu. Execution is fine for this game. It is suppose to be challenging not a cake walk like too many games that have come out the past few years. You know what games I mean.

(Al_Kamone) #7

the challenges not completing in coop is really strange. At least the game should tell you, that you have to do them alone.

(peteXnasty) #8

Its stupid that a game requires you to do the training challenges solo in order to complete them for a trophy as opposed to doing then easily with friends? That is silly and you know it.

When I found that ourt all I said was “eh makes sense” and then I did it…two weeks later

(Bakercompany) #9

Yeah learned the hard way you have to do it solo. That sucked.

Still very fun with friends. Wish there were 3 times as many just as coop scenarios to run through with friends.

(SpyCake) #10

Agreed, was fun at first but it lacks content, gonna trade in tommorow.

(X360RulZ) #11

U suck,wait till the new map packs come out:penguin::stroggtapir:

(SpyCake) #12

I suck because i don’t want a broken game? Nice. And i don’t care for maps i want a solid multiplayer.

(A.i) #13

I guess for many ppl upcoming DLC/patch will be a breaking point

(playa) #14

If only the SDK was released

(Gamer2Gamers) #15

I never understood the point of that option of having to complete that on solo that is like absurdly hard, then they give you the option of having 3 other players with you which doesn’t count for anything which is even more baffling…it would be nice if the challenges applied to group play too.

(red_royal) #16

I had yet i still could not get any higher ranked friends in, nor could people lower than me get me in.
I disagree about the execution, it is obviously a multiplayer game yet it has a stapled on story it probably would have done better without. If they focused on better multiplayer over the inclusion of that aweful boring story, brink Could have been better.

The thing is though, it’s NOT challenging, the ‘be more objective’ thing is tricky yeah but everything else in the game is either easy or idiotically difficult eg. security mission 2: after opening the safe, 2 things can happen, you can pick up the box and run with very little assistance from bots and probably die or your bots can get the case and the rest all go with the carrier for protection. Both ways come to the same outcome, all your bots die and you lose the safe room which leave you with 3 entries that 1 guy could block against an entire team.

As for DLC, i doubt putting more money into their pockets is in my best interest. They screwed up with brink, i was a supporter from the first second i heard about it but they never came through.
I doubt anything could revive this game bar a complete overhaul of everything bar shooting, customisation (could use some tweaking) and movement.

(red_royal) #17

Yeah i think that the challenges not completing is a bug, mainly because 1. why would they let you group up if it didn’t mean ****?
2. I can’t get it complete even on solo
3. One of my challenges completed when i failed the challenge, proving the system is bugged.

(SphereCow) #18

I could really go for some tomato soup right about now…

Brink is a joke
