Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

So got this from GF today... and to be honest, at this point I am glad I didn't buy it.

The game to me is nearly unplayable. Playing with randoms is awful due to lag and run n gunners. And the bots are incredibly moronic so offline play is out of the question.

Im going to give it a few more days to work out the kinks but needless to say I am super dissapointed.

I will say that in the couple games I was able to get in without connection issues... it was fun (with the exception of the lack of teamwork)

Reviews sound bad. Tough for me to get into it when only a few OSers are feeling it. That is a sign of a short online life. Ill pass, I really don't have much time to play games anymore, and Topspin 4 plus COD new maps are plenty. Sucks, I was excited about this game, but I have other things I can spend the cash on.

Just finished playing 3 matches online and all ran smooth for me. I had a couple small hiccups of lag but it was VERY small. I am rendering the video right now for guys to see how it runs on my 360. It has 1:20 min (one hour 20 min) remaining. Once it finishes renders it normally takes youtube about 30 min to do a 15 min gameplay upload.

Video should be up around 10pm Central time.

I ended up finishing #1 in the match with a XP score of 2500, with second play on my team right behind me at 2400.

I AM LOVING THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite shooters bar none on the xbox. On PC I got some favs ahead of it, but on the 360 this is now my go to shooter.

We got to get together. I'm a pretty great engineer and medic.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Sounds good guys!! We need a squad of guys from OS. Lord knows working with some of these guys online is a shot in the dark. I seen a guy on my team today just a total XP score of 46 for the entire round. WHAT DID YOU DO???? While I ended the round with 4500 XP. Some guys have zero clue how to play like a team.

Match to show how it runs for me. This has been how all my games have been tonight. I did have one Migration error where it kicked me back to menu but all my games were smooth. Only lag that really happened in this match was very beginning of video skipping as i was trying to buff team mate.

I am a PC FPS fan and buy all my shooters on PC because I like the control of Mouse + Keyboard. So take into account my rustiness aiming with 360 controller lol

I got medium turret before I left for work, and will be trying it out tonight. I respecced my first character to go pretty much fully dedicated engineer. I like how the respec penalty isn't severe enough to deter anyone from using it (you're penalized 1 level), but I don't really understand the point of having a penalty at all.

Question for Phobia, since he's doing the engy thing too: On the run out of spawn, do you think weapon buff or Kevlar would be the better upgrade to hand out first?

I like to buff damage first and Kelvar guys who you see are always in the thick of battle. Mainly soldier class guys. Now Kelvar on a heavy I think is pretty beast. I seen some heavies just walk through hell fire.

My first class has been pure engineer, I am thinking of making a light class recon next. Curious to see how the calatrops work. I heard they are great at preventing the escort missions or atleast slowing them down a bunch. Plus I had a group of pure recon guys just shred our team tonight. They disguised nonstop and just sneak attacked us from behind over and over. Was pretty much chaos for our team and we got destroyed in literally 2 min MAX. Guys ran through both objectives like we were not even playing.

Same I always buff firepower first. Save one for yourself as well. Medium turrets are pretty great, partner up with a operative that can hack your turret and it's great. Aldo landmines have helped me alot. I can't wait to get to where I can lay 2 at once.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Yeah I'm absolutely in love with this game right now. It's not perfect, but it's a damn good time. Played about 5 matches online today and it was smooth. Good fun. Need to get some OS guys together! Feel free to add me if you want. GT is same as the username. I'm planning on playing pretty much all day tomorrow until 4 or 5 PM PST.
