Why you should not make your mind up about Brink just yet

Brink, the game by Bethesda, has been highly publicized and it does seem to be bringing a new take to the over-saturated first person shooter genre. However, as reviews are starting to pour throughout different outlets on the internet, Kickarss thinks users might hold off on trusting these reviews, let alone buying the game.

agreed! what a waste of time.

BabyTownFrolics5154d ago

brink has a community on the 360 and the PC, and it may have one on the PS3 once PSN is restored. It is a game many shooter fans have been waiting for, a game that emphasizes teamwork over k/d ratios. I understand that it may not be your cup of tea, but there is no reason to act like the game has no value.

GREYFOXXXXXX5154d ago

its worth 20 pound in my opinion sorry but everyone has there own opinions

antz11045154d ago

Agreed BabyTown,

The Quake Wars style of gameplay is so far removed from modern CoD/Halo/Killzone shooters that this is going to put a lot of people off, and a lot of opinions will come from folks that have or never will play it.

Having said that I think the game has a very solid community for people that like that style of game and want to try something different. I personally am having a blast with it.

HenryFord5154d ago

Of course - that may be your opinion. I on the other hand really like the game and it's mechanics. The team-focus and the objectives are really great... The only shit thing is the "escort"-part.

Bulletstorm and Singularity also had fair bit of hype before release, where are they now? This could turn out to be just one of the many shooters recently that failed to live up to the hype.

I think there is really only enough room for a handful of shooters to do well. The rest will come and go rather quickly.

HenryFord5154d ago

mhm...dunno about you, but both are very enjoyable games - Bulletstorm and Singularity. Agreed - there are not "Full-Price" games, because they are WAY to short to cost >50€, but still - I would call them "good" nevertheless.

kneon5154d ago

I wasn't commenting on the quality of the games, just on the low sales and lack of lasting impact on the market.

Warprincess1165154d ago

Im still waiting for a demo. If they don't release one, this game is gonna flop.

RIPSKATEDESTROY5154d ago

reviewers get the game usually 1-2 weeks before it is officially released. the reviews have embargos which mean they cant talk or discuss the game until the date of the embargo, which is usually the release date of the game. Not enough time to review a game, i had the game for a week before release, plenty of time to review a game.

Speakindatruth5154d ago

If you play it on the PC, and you have at least an entry level card, this game is somewhat a major success and still continues to sell strongly. Other than the fact that the game still crashes on start-up for some very basic entry level cards (256MB DDR3 GPUs and some 64bit processors) the game will run on a tower with an entry level card. The game is wonderful on the PC.
The classes may seem unbalanced and all that--but they're not really more unbalanced than those who claim they're "unbalanced" on CoD. Really, in the end, it doesn't really matter--once you're level 20, every one is balanced. Heavy body types do take more damage, but the additional size makes him a bigger target, run slower, and way easier to kill--and with more bullets pumped into the big guy, it's much harder to see with all that blood on the screen. Medium body types just feel like your regular ol' run of the mill FPS--and you can see even if you're low on health. Light body types are swift, and easier at avoiding bullets for sure--though their bodies can't handle too many shots. The game is almost as fast paced as CoD, and it's very entertaining. I played the PS3 and 360 versions of this game and hated it. But the PC version simply works.

Fallout Day Broadcast Announced For October 23rd

This year's Fallout Day will be celebrated in style, with a broadcast that will give players a glimpse at the future of Fallout 76, the latest entry in the series.

-Foxtrot246d ago

Fallout 76 this, Fallout 76 that…Jesus

Remake of Fallout in the style of the Bethesda games

Fallout 3 or New Vegas remakes

A new spin off like what New Vegas was

Anything. Just not more 76.

Relientk77246d ago

Wait just Fallout 76? Lol then I'm not watching it, not missing anything

cammers1995245d ago (Edited 245d ago )

Fallout 76 is a pile of trash. Give us something new. A remaster, port, new game, remake, something.

Bethesda Game Studios developers form 'wall to wall' union

The Fallout and Elder Scrolls developer is a union shop now.

porkChop335d ago

That's good to see. For the last 5-10 years every spring the gaming industry has seen mass layoffs after reporting record profits. It's disgusting. This industry needs more unionization to offer some protection to the people who make these games possible.

DarXyde334d ago

Many industries need unions.

Michiel1989334d ago

that's the price you pay to conduct your business in the land of the free. Stuff like that doesn't happen over here

coldfire984334d ago

Unions are rarely if ever good for the consumer. Often good for the worker but not for us consumers.

Christopher334d ago

Yes, consumers no longer benefit from overworked and underpaid labor, aka decrease in overhead that allows them to sell goods made at a lower price. Kind of the reason things are made in China rather than the U.S. Well thought out.

But, now hear me out, what if the 'good to see' comment wasn't about being a consumer but a caring, apathetic fellow human being who wants to see people get paid what they're worth and not just get laid off all willy-nilly when the suits need to make their books look good for the FY reporting and make more money for shareholders who don't do any of the work either?

MrDead335d ago

It's too late for Tango and Arkane Austin but fingers crossed that this will help. MS could have a friend in the White House soon though, and his thoughts on Union's should be worrying all in the US.

MeteorPanda335d ago

GOOD. Stop taking it in the ass from shareholders "we want a space game" but our fans want elderscrolls "YES BUT SPACE IS HUGE LOOK AT STAR CITIZEN!"

It's more than time. I could use a good, new horror shooter.

jeromeface342d ago

Quake isn't new... far from it.

1nsomniac342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

I’d love another Quake, maybe even a more horror slanted Doom.

I’d be very happy with a new IP though.

Friendlygamer342d ago

I would like a wolfstein reboot by Id, machinegames ones are good but too enfatuated with cinematics

coolbeans341d ago

id would deserve major props if they rolled the dice on *either* of those choices.
