A Brink Review (The Elwin Post)

In a futuristic setting, Brink places you in the middle of a civil war on an artificial island. The year is 2035 and you find yourself on an artificial island known as the Ark, which happens to be humanities last hope after Earth’s almost complete destruction. Choose between the Resistance or the Security and lead your side to victory and help them accomplish their goals in what they believe best for humanity.

I agree with everything especially the goofy-ness of the characters.

Glad you enjoyed and agreed :)

I am sorry, but from my perspective this game is a solid 6. The complete lack of a real single player campaign or decent story line is in-excusable. Add to that a multiplayer component that is utterly confusing and disjointed to try to navigate. And lets not forget the lack of any kind of lobby... stat tracking in game.... challenges to unlock scopes for all weapons? Poor graphical representation, limited small maps and lag even post patch.

Its just not a good game...its decent but nothing special.

I unlocked scopes by completing challenges. I personally rate Brink an 8, a strong 8. I find the enemy AI to be extremely competent and dangerous. Games are actually easier when real people are in the game. I like it that the friendly AI performs better if you perform better. Once I wrapped my head around using the parkour at all times, the maps became a playground to explore (depending on body Size). I did not have any trouble navigating the multiplayer, but I avoided online until I beat the entire Security campaign. Brink is the most polorizing game to come out in a long time. But I love it, and hope SD keeps supporting it, and never stops improving and balancing the game.

You basically just reviewed the game... Btw you mentioned everything I did couple days ago.. Well said.

Thx man. Its not for everyone, but neither is TF2, Counterstrike, or Shadowrun, but thousands of people still play them all.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein127d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator127d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1127d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
