So far, I haven't seen enough to justify the A+ price. Seems more like a $40/$30, and if Mirror's Edge is any indication of how rapidly cost will drop, I can wait.

I agree with this, but it was $38 on D2D for a while and I got it for that much so I am not bothered.

Not every game has to be the best competitive FPS in the world, they can just be fun to play for a while and then moved on from. Maybe I am more tolerant and have more fun because I dont approach games from a "professional gamer" (lol@ that) point of view? Who knows. I also had plenty of fun playing BC2, and Vietnam and play them both still occasionally. der derp I like bad games I suppose.

I am not trying to convince anyone, just saying what I think.

(btw BF3 and any other FPS that comes out will never be like BF2 or anything before it)

So, I guess I´ll wait for a few patches then.

I love how the TF2 community hyped the shit out of it for absolutely no reason (that I could tell), and is now whining about wasting $50.
Idiots.

Just turned in on the stream, saw a bit of fighting. Doesn´t look to horrible.
Only saw a few minutes though until the guy went to lunch with the words: "Been playing for an hour and it didn´t give me any XP. I´m done with this game."

LOL, they probably spent more than that in hats. Should get over themselves.

Doesnt sound like it happened to him, but there is a bug with the steam cloud saving that it can erase all your progress. Less Brink's fault than steam cloud's I would think, but who knows.

I havent even been able to play yet, it comes out in Europe/Australia on the 13th. Hopefully there might be a patch by then (or already) that fixes some of the more major issues.

It seemed to have been an issue on that particular server/game. I don´t think he meant quitting the game altogether. It still made me laugh though.

Shit, a blog/review site actually separating console and PC reviews.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011 … of-fun.ars

Interesting how different the two versions seem to be. PC version has its own problems with certain hardware (basically the whole ATI HD4000 line somehow? How did they miss that) and some settings on by default that arent optimised and halve the framerate (HBAO) but otherwise seems much better than the console one.

Oh yeh, and singleplayer is locked to 30 fps for some bizarre reason. Retarded.

probably locked to 30fps because that's all they need for consoles. this game reeks of shit.

Whats this radar station thing? I havent noticed it.

Some box with electronic equipment and a little, spinning radar dish on top.

Regardless at what frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum that thing is sending/receiving, it'll be useless in the middle of scrapped oil tankers at ground level.

lol.

So this game is poorly optimised and runs pretty badly but the basic gameplay is fun, I dont regret the purchase. The 'laser guns' are secondary to the gameplay because it isnt about beating someone 1v1 it is about playing as a team and buffing/healing whatever. Grenades knockback and do small damage (which is awesome, this game and Shattered Horizon are two games where I think grenades are done well).

I guess I cant really recommend it to anyone because it a) might just not work and b) it will run poorly if it does. When it is fixed and probably discounted to get more people playing it seems like a good buy unless you hate all games that arent CoD1/2, Tf2 or CS:S.

Will get it later at an discount, I´m sure. I still think the general idea of the game is fun, too bad about the shitty tech

For all the the people waiting till it has a discount:
http://www.direct2drive.co.uk/2/10888/p … wnload?hph

Cheaper than steam.
Takes a while to download it though, but its cheaper than steam. (it also includes manual and everything)

This is the English version (it says its UK only on the BRINK page, so im not sure about the rest of europe), but theres also an American (just use .com)

Okey so its actually UK only for BRINK.

Strange.....

Brink is region restricted on most digital sites, so only UK people can get it from .co.uk. It is steamworks though, so you can download it through steam rather than D2D by just adding the key to steam.

Or order it from play.com for about 5 € less. But still, 30€ seems a bit too much for it atm in my opinion. will wait a bit.

i.e. if you hate all games that are sub-par and not fit for pc gaming

Ignoring this game completely for a brief moment, if you just tried to enjoy playing games then you might find a whole selection you would enjoy playing but not necessarily find technically perfect.

Just read that theyre resolving the lag issues on ps3 and xbox by lowering th maximum of human players from 16 to 8 in certain gametypes.

Cool solution bro.

Bethesda is pretty much synonymous with buggy so that seems like a pretty sound assumption.
