Tired of the Hate

(Blarfenghar) #1

I joined the forums about 2 hours ago and I’ve already seen so much hate towards the game but at the moment this is easily the most fun game that I have in my library. I was anxiously awaiting in in April but after the bad reviews decided to wait. Got the game a week ago and immediately wish I could’ve earlier. Pretty rarely have I had so much fun with a game as I do when me and a group of people play a game of brink.

There was one day where i was furious and that was DLC day but I know every time I put the disc in, ill have a blast.

You have to put the disc in? I never take it out… :slight_smile:

Haha I just got L.A. noire…but I have brink in 99% of the time. It ticks my friends off who don’t have brink. They just don’t understand…

Oh, it’s one of those “I love the game but lots of people seem to disagree” threads :slight_smile: It’s been a while, although we do now have 10+ of these buried in the history.

I still can’t understand how so many people got past the idiotic control scheme to play Resident Evil and make it successful, but I had to stop my “Resi honestly is rubbish” crusade some time ago. At least Capcom finally did realise and replace the thing. Maybe some day, they’ll also figure out how to make a good game that doesn’t have Street Fighter in the title.

Anyway, welcome to the forums, and the crushing reality that not everybody’s opinions match your own :slight_smile: In fact, general opinion may well be completely opposite to your own stance. The pain will ease in time, I promise. Medication does help though.

Many fans of previous Splash Damage games are irritated by loosening of movement and gunplay and feature regression. That shouldn’t bother you if you haven’t played SD’s previous games so if you’re enjoying Brink don’t worry about it and hf.

Yeah I was talking to someone the other day about the overwhelming amount of medics who play the class just to revive themselves. Being a medic myself, I get that sometimes you just can’t revive someone without wasting your Lazarus but when I’m right next to you and you have one supply pip left, use it.

I love Brink and I can’t see what other game now or on the horizon that could match it. CoD? BF? TF2? Hardly.

(Blarfenghar) #12

Agreed. Well TF2 is fantastic, a bit overrated but fantastic. CoD and BF? No.

(tokamak) #13

I’m sorry to hear that.

(Smokeskin) #14

This condescending attitude, I have to ask: why? Why this need to belittle people who have different taste in video games?

(zenstar) #15

Because they’re different and we fear those that are different!

Those in the know love Brink. :slight_smile:

Well back in the day the Battlefield franchise wasn’t too bad. You could get some nice teamwork going if you had a squad of decent people.

Problem is that since they started on the Bad Company franchise they’ve been taking the common path of making it more accessible. So you have these wonderful mechanics like being able to spawn on any live teammate at any time. Fun for your opponents and makes Medics less useful.

I’m hoping (praying) that Battlefield 3 really is a true return to form. However I’m still cautiously pessimistic about it until I can see some extended raw multiplayer footage or if they release a demo.

Nexo

EDIT: I still say the best Battlefield experience is Project Reality. That mod is god-tier for teamwork.

Haters gonna hate… and waste half their lives trying to prove to us that the game is the crap heap they claim it to be. Honestly wonder if they will ever get over it and move on, personally I have had big problems with the direction other games I have loved went but by the time the game (or even beta) was released I realized its too late now and it is what it is, play it or move on to something else. No reason to troll their forums for months on end complaining about the same exact things as before the game even came out and then everything under the sun once it finally released. Personally don’t see why half of them bought it if they knew it wasnt going to be like their last favorite game.

LOL I am with Tangoliber, game is in my system 99.9% of the time, I can only play 1 disc game at a time. I have a good 20 downloadable games so I still have options without revmoving the disc.

And gonna get invites for some of you to the BHC, you would be valued members with your great attitudes and civility.

While they are some haters on these boards they are a lot of people who have been giving constructive criticism since day one yet they get tarred with the same brush as the haters. Those people enjoy Brink to some extent but know it can be better as they have played SD’s past games.

There is this misconception that those people wanted Brink to be just like ET or ET:QW, this is nonsense. We just want Brink to be of the same quality, there is a difference.

It was the same with ET:QW, they were lots of ET players hating on the game but there were others who liked the game, adapted to the new play style and enjoyed it but saw room for improvement. Hence when the modding tools were released we got ET:QW Pro and a bundle of custom maps. Yet some ET:QW purists accused those folk of trying to make ET:QW into ET2, not at all, ET:QW Pro added lots of cool features that were missing in the base game and allowed for greater user customisation, just what players wanted, sound familiar? (It also made the game viable for competition but that’s for another discussion)

Now here we are again in Brink with the purists proclaiming we should put up with what we have been given rather than improve a largely OK game into something more enjoyable.

What’s the harm in suggesting and making improvements?

I would really like a sensible answer to this that doesn’t involve name calling, platform bigotry and egocentric view points.

Too bad you and all your PC buddies on here arent those kind of guys you are talking about. You are all the haters and condescending talkers that make this forum look like a bag of smashed assholes. Guys like Nexolate, Zenstar, Smokeskin, Galaxy, Jimmy James etc… are the objective, constructive and civil PC players you are describing…
