Player Affinity: "Ah the utopian city of tomorrow! Lots of games seem to take a liking to this notion. Unfortunately, setting a game in a perfect world would be rather boring. You only get some excitement when that utopia goes horribly, HORRIBLY awry in some manner. Like, for example, the population of your perfect city ballooning to ten times what it was intended to hold. That’s what happens to the city of ARK in the year 2045, in Bethesda’s upcoming shooter Brink. ARK is a floating, 100% green city intended to be a perfectly self-sustaining habitat for the 5,000 people who live there. However when 50,000 refugees are added into the mix, we get a clear message about how to deal with overpopulation. Kill the hell out of a bunch of people!"
