Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

I like how it shows your character in the post game cut scene if you do well during the round.

Haven't had a chance to see one of those yet. Are those only in the campaign mode? I have only played the freeplay competitive mode up to this point. Not that I have been doing that well up to this point, as the game is such a change of pace from other FPS. I get the feeling the game will grow on me as I get used to it. I was like a chicken with it's head cut off in the couple of matches I played.

Graphics aren't as bad as I thought initially, now that I have played the non-challenge mode maps. They are decent enough and I like the art style of the maps I have played.

I think they are only for online. I had a great round, and my character was featured in the post game cut scene. Pretty cool.

You can get it used off Amazon for $37 since there's no online pass with this game.

Good games again last night! Though maybe not if you were the unlucky dudes on the Security team that kept getting steamrolled.

This game is awesome when you get a full party playing. Really brings out the teamwork aspect of the game.

Thats not funny LMAO we were getting slaughtered last night!!

What is with some of the objectives saying to Guard something, when your team is actually supposed to blow up/hack it? I think it only happens if your not the class that can complete that particular objective, but it is still misleading wording to use. When that happened the first time I had literally played 7 or 8 minutes into the match before figuring it out.

Yeah I think it's just for the classes that cant complete the objective. And in a way it's true, although misleading - In a way you should guard the objective until your guy can breach it. I'm no native speaker so I personally wouldn't know a better wording for this.

To be honest I am not quite sure how to word it, but I think they could come up with something that is less misleading especially for less experienced/new players. Seemed like my whole team didn't realize what the objective actually was until late in the match either. Won't be a big deal for experienced players, but I can easily see many new players being misled like I was by the wording.

Some great shortcuts and trickjumps with the light body type:

Nice find. Grabbing command post quickly is key and splash damage put in some nice little shortcuts to get there.

To make walljumping easier, I suggest picking the "Duty Calls" configuration then mapping jump to the left bumper.

Re: Brink (360/PS3/PC)

Think I may have to shelve this. Just not having a whole lot of fun with the game, part of it may be playing with randoms, but I can see some of the same flaws that were mentioned by the reviews. The biggest one to is there seems to be some major balancing issues going on with the maps, body types and weapons. At least two or three of maps seem heavily skewed towards the defense, the heavy class apparently sucks since I literally seen nobody using it and AR and SMG's don't seem to be balanced properly either.

Pretty mad at myself at the moment for picking the game up despite the reviews, when I was thinking about picking up L.A. Noire instead.

Mr. Knuckles! Whats good fam?
I'm not giving up on this game. I still think its great. Its the only super team oriented FPS on consoles. Theres Free DLC coming in June and I'm still trying to assemble a group of friends to jump online and lay the smackdown.

Noire is getting in the way as you'd probably expect, but since I sold Black Ops as part of the Noire trade-in deal I'll be playing this as long as there are people to play on the PC version.

+1

If you are playing with randoms, you're going to have a bad time.

Get some friends together and this game's a blast.

It will only get better once the patch and DLC drop.
