Why do people keep saying Brink sucks?

[QUOTE=echocrack;310074]So L4D needs 2 full teams but Brink doesn’t?

You my friend, are a jackass.[/QUOTE]

i’m not your friend.

and yes, l4d depends more on full human teams because
a) a game consists of a maximum of 8 human players, every non human player sticks out like a sore thumb (surviver bots, stop walking because they can’t decide to follow a player out of the window or another player down the stairs, resulting in complete team deaths. infected bots tend to attack on their own, making it almost impossible to stop the survivors in time, because the infected team is one man short 80% of the map)
b) a full versus campaign takes way more than an hour with two similar skilled teams, which leads to people quiting during a map. if you start l4d with 6 people chances are that the game will never be full of 8 people. resulting in an unfair and unsatisfying match.
c) l4d versus is ment to be played from beginning to end (therefore you get a ‘you win’ or ‘you lose’ message after the end of a finale), brink isn’t, you can join every map at every moment, waiting at most 15 minutes to play the next map from the beginning (pro tip: like most online shooter do, therefore a lobby in online fps is a waste…)
d) if you have a bot in your survivor team and someone joins the server to become a survivor, it happens most of the time that the bot will stand still for 15-30 sec until the player will finaly enter the game, which again results in one hit kills or even team death.

you see, i know why i think l4d needs a lobby and brink doesn’t, do you know why you called me a jackass you imbecile? :stroggbanana:

I agree! I hate it when people talk trash about a game because they’re too stupid to learn how to play it.

There are just too many issues with the game that should’ve been worked out before they released it. They pushed Brink out of the nest before it was ready to fly and as such deserve the criticism they’re getting.

Which company wouldn’t try to hype the *** outta their game? It’s not like they spend years making a game so a handfull of hardcore dedicated players buy it. Who’s to blame seriously? People doing a successfull marketing campain or people believing what’s said in advertisements?

It doesn’t suck.

But considering they’ve had a full day in the office, you would expect some form of “end of day update” on the ton of bugs reported. I’m just hoping they haven’t left the office yet and have yet to make this announcement. So far all we’re getting is “we’re looking into it” or staff trying to fix the slightest of problems whilst ignore one of the major ones - FPS lag / performance. It’s as if they know something but can’t tell us - why can’t they tell us?

Come on man…
