You people may ask, why does he keep writing in this forum when Brink is so boring. Well, the answer is, I have more fun in writing in this forum than in actually playing Brink. Not a good sign for a game. I have exactly 150 hours of mp time logged and I can’t play Brink more than every second day, since it becomes boring so quick.
I don’t watch TV at all. Absolutely zero point zero. But I like/need to play a mp fps on a daily basis after work for 1 or 2 hours. But thats simply not possible with Brink. Its so incredible repetative. AvP3 is after 350 hours of mp playtime still the best mp fps for me. Its very well balanced, fast and it still looks good. But after over 300 hours I’ve looked for something new and fresh. And I found Brink.
The reason why there are so many whiners(me included) posting in this forum is, because they were searching for the next evolutional step in fp-shooting. They had high hopes and expectations. And the concept of Brink promised so much potential wich was just wasted.
Brink doesn’t blur the line between SP and MP. It simply has no SP.
That is something that comes next to betrayal since they haven’t even hinted this. If they would have actually blured the line of a traditional SP campaign with MP gaming, that would’ve been a blast. But they actually lied and sold us a mp game with the option of playing solely against bots or bot/human teams.
Sorry, but thats not next gen. The parcour system is good in my opinion and I also like to dress up my “post apocalyptic ken”, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of game modes and the lack of overall diversity in the gameplay. And the AI in this game, especially if you are lvl 20 is so annoying that the first time in my gameplay career I wanted to literally slap one of the devs in the face with my bare hands. Sorry if this sounds rude, but only thinking of the AI brings out all the stored rage wich keeps me from trying to complete this damn be objective 2star challenge and the early launch mission.
They could have stated somewhere that the Brink AI adapts to your rank. And everytime I loose at the shipyard launch site or the 2star be objective challenge I visualize how the devs are laughing their a$$es off over guys like me, not understanding that we the customers have the last laugh.
They certainly don’t understand that frustrating your customers isn’t the best way to sell copies. You need to challenge them, but at one point you have to give them some satisfaction back. If you(SD) are just making fun of them in form of “insanely quick turning and head shooting across the whole map” AI, you will loose.
Thanks for creating the most ridicoulus AI I’ve ever encountert in any console and pc game I’ve ever played.
Brink has still some potential, but SD wasted so much of it that one can only cry by the imagination of what Brink could have been if they’d have done everything right.
Imagine someone presented you with a whole wardrope of everything you’ve allways wanted. And this someone would have told you for years about it. But after he gave it to you, you discover that everything is 3 sizes to small. Wouldn’t you cry. Thats Brink for me.
I’ll keep writing since I can’t stop imagine what Brink could have been. And maybe will be.
Plus when you play a map you will have to do the same objectives over and over they don’t grow new ones
