[QUOTE=nick1021;348894]I know there are a lot of places you can go with wall jumping, but not many people know/use them. And most of the time they are not effective.

I think what I’m trying to say is, there should of been more parkour (wall run for a second or two, somersault) and you can combine those with other moves (like in the trailer, walljump somersault). And some places require you to string those movements (since somersaults will make you go further in mid-air).

Stuff like this worked in a game called Gunz.[/QUOTE]

Wallruns were not put into the game because they tried to make the parkour as realistic as possible, and wallrunning has no practical use. After the first step (wallhop) you gain nothing from wallrunning because you have to push off of the wall to gain friction. That is, unless you are on a convex wall, of which there are very few in Brink.

Not to say that you cant wallrun, it can be done for flair, but you gain nothing from it. Brink has Parkour (efficient movement), not Freeruning (art of movement).

Gunz is more freerunning inspired, and very over the top and impractical for combat. Not that realism is required for a game, just that realism was attempted with the Parkour in brink.

Somersaults were not included because they didn’t want to take control of the camera away from the player, so they made slides work in a similar manner. You can break your falls with a slide. They break from reality here, but the spirit of the somersault is still there IMO.

My aim sucks, so trying to hit a light that’s hopping off of walls is a PitA.

this. i just (finally) started vanquish, and was pleased to discover the “boost” button was L2. just felt natural! :slight_smile:

(jazevec) #25

Is there even a single ladder in Brink ?

[QUOTE=nephandys;348954]Whenever I go play any other shooter now I am constantly wishing for a SMART button. It does a lot more for me than make the game seem “cool.”

As far as not having obstacles and stuff around the environments would probably still be pretty much the same w/o SMART so I guess I fail to see your point. The obstacles would remain so that the environment doesn’t look bland, empty, and boring. Apparently you think environments in shooters (even those w/o SMART) should just be completely empty buildings and wide open empty outdoor spaces…
[/QUOTE]

I agree with both of these statements. The environments in Brink are much more interesting than most games because they can pretty much put objects in as required to make it more immersive.

In addition, the SMART button removes some of the thought put into controls allowing you to focus on the game more. As far as SMART goes in this respect, i think they nailed it. OP may be right questioning if they utilized it to it’s fullest, but it is super intuitive and does what they said it would.

[QUOTE=nick1021;348862]Now I understand my rep will make you think I’m trolling. But admit it. The SMART wasn’t that great. The game could still work without it. Like Yahtzee said “Don’t put the crap there in the first place”.

That means, those little obstacles are pointless and don’t change anything. And maps don’t have enough walljumps, so this SMART was completely unneeded.[/QUOTE]

please don’t post anymore threads, I have no idea what your trolling, (cough) I mean talking about.

(nick1021) #34

Can you guys BRINK it down to a white star again?

(Shadowcat) #35

Thar u go. You are once again an unknown quantity.

(its al bout security) #36

i just hope you stay at white or less thats all, not because i havent read one or two positive posts, i see you turning around alittle bit, but for the most part all i see is trolling :frowning: makes me duper super mega sad

i love the game and if you disagree thats fine but running around these here threads and putting out there that this game is 100% trash and isnt worth a buy will NOT be tolerated! :mad:

and really the more you do that less people will buy the game and i cannot condone this behavior.

get now :slight_smile:

Thus I thought the title “unknown quantity” fit.

But really, the white star avvy made me laugh.

(nick1021) #38

Do you even know how much I helped the game? I got 3 people to buy it.

Oh that might not seem much, but for one individual it is.

(nick1021) #39

But I only care about my status on games I care about.

It would be better the less people buy this game. I know that you think this game is great. And like 3/10 people think so. So basically it’s 30% chance that each person will like the game =/

(You know the number is a lot lower. If you peeked out of this forum, brink is one of those games that everyone is laughing at).

[QUOTE=nick1021;348945]But there really is no point right now in have that stupid crate in the middle of the map, just so you can slide over it.

I would rather they made a class objective game that is well balanced, polished and had a lot of content then implementing some feature that is RARELY helpful and is only there to make the game feel “cool”.[/QUOTE]

I miss the trolls that trolled before it was considered a lost art. NGR threads were epic.
