Brink is Broken

"Sorry. This game isn’t for me. If it’s so damn awesome on the PC, then have at it, because on Xbox 360, it’s broken and I refuse to waste anymore of my precious time in lagtacular public matches.

Sadly, lag isn’t the biggest problem facing Broke Brink. Read on."

I've heard that BRINK has got some problems but this article is taking it a bit too far, surely

[Ser]

It's a sarcasticgamer article. :P

@Elimin8

Exactly. I agree 100%.

[Elimin8]

Yeah, I see....

[Elimin8]

Yeah. And I hate to bring up CoD but no one seem to talk about the same broken rehash year in year out.

[Warprincess116]

just admit, this game is horrible. They should of delayed it instead of trying to rush a game out and patch it later.

[dkgshiz]

Nah, it was already delayed many times before. It was just a crappy game that had no real foundation and it was bound to suck.

[Elimin8]

Warprincess116..... You're right. They said they were done and therefor are shipping a week earlier, only to patch it later. Hence incomplete.

[DirtyLary]

Brink is a bigger disappointment than the continued down time of PSN.

[Ducky]

Well, the online and technical issues are valid I suppose.

The gameplay criticism is probably where the sarcasm lies as it's the stereotypical make-this-game-more-like-CoD comments.

[Zydake]

That's sad to hear game looked good

[Darkspade]

Dam I just bought this game updated it, the online is unplayable.. WOW was looking forward to this one..
They Need to bring back Video Game Returns

[Rybakov]

excuse me but i have had no problems with the 360 version aside from stupid people who think there playing call of duty and dont do anything but sit in the corner

but then again this gen of gaming there is no such thing as teamwork or communication....just stupidity and trolls everywhere

[Nykamari]

If you got a PS3 and can wait until the PSN comes back up, I recommend MAG if you want TEAMWORK and COMUNICATION. I'm getting BRINK but have to wait right now. Gotta Take Care of My BABIES!

[Rybakov]

i tried mag a while back and it was nothing but super lag and loneliness of no mics i tried for a couple days but it just didn't sit right with me

[pixelsword]

Nykamari is right: it's a really good game, get the demo and give it another go. If you put your mic on, others invariably will. You can also put on your mic when you're quad/platoon leader/OIC because people will follow your orders if you're clear;or get into a decent clan, as they will always be communicating. Now super lag I can't explain, as it's pretty stable except sometimes in the beta and after one of the updates, so I can't tell you of lag otherwise.

I couldnt stand this game, i agree with everything he said. after experience all those problems (in said game), i stopped and even though the psn is down, i somehow manage to play MAG and team fortress (pc of course). i wasnt even interested from the get-go as it was a Borderland and Team Fortress rip-off

[Nykamari]

You played MAG? How did you managed that? I'm jealous of you if you did! I know how Pookie feels in New Jack City! MAG KEEPS CALLING ME! LOL!!!!

[Ducky]

... How is it a rip-off of either game? O.o

... also, how could you have experienced all those problems when the majority of them relates to online, which you can't play when PSN is down? O.o

[killerhog]

cause i never mention playing it on the ps3?? i also stated the respectful console i used to play mention games???

dude besides the limited "parkour" its a straight up team fortress and borderland rip-off. only a fanboy (of a game that just came out too) would disagree

[news4geeks]

Amusing to see a greater acceptance of an article on n4g that doesn't question a ps3 exclusive. Just an observation, don't let the scallops fly out of your pants.

[SUPER-ECO-CLEAN]

I remember at E3, PAX and GDC when they showed us Amazing graphics and awesome gameplay footage but now we have low res textures and a pop-in mess.

Back then E3 2009

yea i heard brink bricked..

i know its broken cause he was supposed to be throwing a brick in that pic..lol

[Sparticus_1]

So,.....how many of you guys running it into the ground actually bought the game..can we see pictures of the receipt?

[Goldenarmz]

i thought i was the only one who scratched their head abotu the grenades, it was many times i threw a grenade then got in to cover expecting a big explosion jus to walk out moments later n ask did it even explode??? I had high hopes for this game but ill be sending it back to gamefly soon ... once i rebuild my computer i might peep it on PC tho.

[Ducky]

The grenades are like that for balance issues. Most team-based shooters have weak gernades (including BC2 and Counterstrike) where it has to literally explode beneath someone's feet for them to feel it.
Powerful nades = nade spammage on objective

I think a bigger factor with the nades is the sound effect of the explosion. It just sounds rather weak. Take another look at the 'Container City' preview. The gernade explosions in the first part of the video are awesome (around 2:30 mark of video). I don't know why they didn't include that sound in the actual game. =/

[videoxgamexfanboy]

i agree with this article. i have it on 360 and have seen all these problems. this game kinda sucks

[PiNHEaD]

"tried to play co-op with three other buddies and it turned into Super Bot hell."

You're doing it wrong.. nuff said.

[MasterD919]

Brink is on the brink apparently...
