Why are we so freaking excited ?


(SPYMAN) #1

As you probably noticed, the time isn’t passing by and we hit F5 every 10seconds to get some info on Brink. We count the days and make things like “Ah only 3 days left … and the rest of today”. I never experienced this before and I wonder how they achieved this.
The game is great, no doubt, but we’ll be like that kid with the NINTENDO SIXTY FOOOOUR when we finally get it.

So what’s the reason for it ? The lack of good games or the innovation of Brink ?

I think it’s more the lack of good games. Hell I’m still playing TF2, and CS:S. I’d be playing BF2142 if there were server in my area.

But I’m not freaking out excited, I’m pretty chill, got a lot to take my mind off Brink.

The build up to a game that finally rewards the team players, not the lone wolves!

WE SO EXCITED!!

Well, for consoles, there’s just a lack of good games. It’s either COD or a COD-like game. BC2 is the only thing that stays away from COD gameplay, except the game is full of snipers and that gets old pretty fast. Crysis 2, while similar to COD, has a lot less BS and more fun gunplay with little to no sniping and campers… except the netcoding makes it such a frustration to play. That makes Brink such a different beast altogether. I think that’s why we’re excited for it. They took away what we hate in other games.

I’m a bit excited to play BRINK becuase it’s a team-, objective- and class-based game, yeah… It sounds like a good combination in my ears :slight_smile:

Indeed, I think there are currently few options that would shape up to Brink :slight_smile: I have played some ET:QW recently, and definitely did enjoy it - but player counts are generally quite low, and most of those still playing are frustratingly good at it :slight_smile: heh

I’ve been playing some Darkest Hour (Red Orchestra) recently, and that’s good fun too - although it really does show it’s age in places. It also has a more acute case of the shrunken player base syndrome, so on top of being a fairly hardcore realism FPS, it’s mostly populated by very, very experienced players - and inexperienced players can quickly make a mess of a game, sadly. Still fun to be had though :slight_smile:

Neither of these quite match up to the draw of playing some brand-new SD work though, to be honest - and I think that’s why we’re so excited :slight_smile:

brink will fail, get http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24436 and play quakewars


(PsYcHo) #11

Haha king_troll. Your name says everything :smiley: Okay, sorry for feeding him.

Im so *****ing excited because it is finally again a game where you need to work in a team.
Our clan is again in a situation where someone plays that, someone plays this etc etc…
So we are all hoping that Brink will be again a game what everyone enjoys and where we can play competitive matches.
Also because I know that SD makes high quality games and Im sure Brink will be also high quality :slight_smile:

It’s like ET except, you know, with people.


(TAPETRVE) #14

I encountered this game for the first time at CamesCom 2009 and was immediately hooked. That’s why.


(king_troll) #15

there are no real gamplay movies, all official clips are machimas, and there has`nt been a game that has had a online life based on idtech engine for 10 years since Q3A, the SMART physics will probaly get on your nerves or end up having bad clip detection with ping over 30

you have to work as a team on most maps in quakewars with skilth mini mod, need to balance the hyperblaster and the weapons are all good


(TAPETRVE) #16

Sir, would you kindly leave the premises and throw yourself in front of a taxi?


(Shanks) #17

I love how he talks about nothing on id tech having life then proceeds to talk about Quake Wars :smiley:


(PsYcHo) #18

Yes, please. Just do it king_troll.


(Gunz94) #19

Lack of games tbh


(CombatJack0331) #20

What he said. Very rarely do we get a game that rewards teamwork.
