What's your favourite aspect of Brink?

EDIT: I missed out Brink Lore (story) as an option. Mention it in your post if it’s your favourite.

As title suggests.

Take your pick, brothers!

That was a tough decision.

But the top shelf to me is the objective-based progressive scenario. Of course it’s the same after you’ve played it ten or more times, but it still feels much better than just capturing a flag. It makes missions more fleshy and interesting.

The other things are really nice too though. What I DIDN’T read but find really good is the setting and background story~

oh, darn it! I knew I’d miss something important.

Add a +1 to your post for Brink lore if that’s what floats your boat the best. :stuck_out_tongue:

i went for smart. i love other aspects, too, though. but the smart really stands out and is something new thats never done before. i hope every future shooter has it.

i think it´s hard to decide :confused:
I like all of it :slight_smile: Best maybe the aesthetic design :3
It look so … pseudo-real :smiley:
But the Story is good too , i enjoyed it :3

Not easy to pick out what I like the most, but I ended up picking gunplay. I really like the feel of the weapons and the bullet spread.


(xzen) #7

Really hard choice, torn between map design/gunplay/SMART/aesthetics. Went with SMART as it’s one thing that I’ll find really annoying to not have in other shooters.

All of those combined=Brink
Good thread! :penguin:


(wolfnemesis75) #9

You forgot the EPIC music. The game’s soundtrack is awesome. You can’t argue with that!


(hailey) #10

hard to pick because I don’t like any of them


(Up&Down) #11

Yeah hard to choose one of those, but the object focus changing during the round is what makes the game for me.

I know the following points aren’t major, but for me they are what makes Brink special

  • Being able to see your own customised character during the cutscene at the end of a round, especially good if are the one to complete the objective

-being able to play piano tunes whilst writhing in pain on the ground :slight_smile:


(Kurnuttaja) #12

I voted for customization because I dont really like SMART when it automatically throws me off a ledge and catches at a fence I run past by. Also the twitching when running on small debris really suks.


(ataliba) #13

SMART is really nice, but the maps don’t quite follow it…
and then again, I wish that the body types were selected just as tattos, and are unchangeable…


(iezza) #14

Customization, although Obj based is so so near and SMART is a valiant third. i chose this cos i hardly ever play a game where i can customize a lot and i can get obj based in the BF series and i can get SMART(like) in the Assasins creed and Mirrors Edge, but them all in one package, with guns makes my heart swoon ./


(Inofor) #15

I voted for customization, since I really like thinking up new looks, skill builds and when to use weapon mods.


(Smokeskin) #16

For every times SMART made you do something silly, in other shooters you’d be snagged 10 times on a table or something that in BRINK you just effortlessly vault over, not to mention sliding under stuff.

And you have to admit, damn walljumping is cool.


(fearlessfox) #17

This.

The amount of times I’ve not been caught on a twig in BC2 and died as a result, I couldn’t even begin to count.

The amount of times I’ve run up to a 4 foot high barrier in a game where my avatar is a 6 foot tall killing machine and been unable to progress is just as uncountable.

SMART = awesome. It might not be absolutely perfect yet, but it’s a massive leap in the right direction.


(GR0MIT) #18

SMART, SMART and SMART.


(Oschino1907) #19

I am so SMART, S.M.R.T, uh ummm wait i mean S.M.A.R.T.

+1 to anyone you get the referance!

After having SMART for a few weeks now i find it hard to play many other FPSs, i end up pressing L2 (ps3) by instinct only to end up running face first into an object or tossing a grenade at nothing (or having it bounce back in my face).

You should’ve made “character appearance customization” and “ability&weapon customization” two separate options. I don’t really care about the former, but really like the latter.
