Is Brink “the crappiest game ever?” This week’s 5-minute AP.5 review concludes that Brink is a definite SKIP IT! Also in Episode #132.5, the guys chat about the four Triple-A games (Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations) being released in November. Next week they’ll offer up their honest impressions of L.A. Noire, but there’s tons of gaming goodness in between, so listen now!
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.
“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”
This is pretty dumb to say the least.
That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.
If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).
Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)
I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.
It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.
No, crappiest game ever award goes to Too Human.
Fail.
You I mean. The game is quite good. It isn't perfect and it needed more fluff to flesh out the universe, but it fun and lag for me is non-existent even with full rooms! It has been patched too.
Wow, I guess some people do not like a challenge, and are opposed to getting their butts kicked by homocidal AI.
I think Brink is the most fun I have had playing a FPS since TF2 came out.
The bots in Brink remind me a lot of the bots in Terrorist Hunt on Rainbow Six Vegas 2. They're so awesome they can one shot you while taking a hail of bullets. Its hilarious. I'm enjoying the game and usually the shooters I enjoy are ones like these that are critized by people who don't try to figure out how to play it in the first place. It has its faults but so does every game. These guys should just go back to playing COD. Very bad podcast.
