HEY, REMEMBER WHEN YOU PREORDERED ME?

Unfortunately I do.

The reason I stopped preordering Bethesda games. They do a lot of internet guerilla marketing and their games are mostly hype.

Brink was a fantastic game and everyone who thinks otherwise is a massive homo

Few maps, maps didn't make use of the movement mechanic, it's pretty team reliant so of course it was like herding cats... I forgot the rest.

Why do people dislike brink?

As far as I can tell the game itself was fine, it just died and had nobody playing it.

The game was nothing to bitch about. I had fun with it. I honestly don't know why it has such a bad rap.

This. Brink could have been an amazing RPG on par with Fallout. What we got was a shitty mp deathmatch.

Didnt the price drop by half within the first week?

It had a ton of good ideas

Never understood why people were so hyped about Brink to begin with.
To me, it was yet another braindead multiplayer shooter that we already had perfected, with a pretty weak splash-damage based combat and it's biggest feature was the "supercustomizable weapons" gimmick that felt completely pointless and already overdone back when this game's hype train was peaking.

Seriously: what made people so hyped up about it? Was I missing something back then? Was it just a thirst for more class-based team based shooters? Was it the developer name?

i actually saw this at a gamestop like 2-3 months ago. It was 89 cents used. laughed my ass off because I remember the hype a bunch of people had for this stupid PoS

>>386347634

the movement was smooth and slick as fuck, the goal oriented team play., graphics, sound design, aesthetics the character customisation, the fact it's being made by SplashDamage the fuckers to did QW:ET.

It looked good but didn't deliver and people raelised that and moved on.

>>386339050
Brink ruined a friendship. One friend convinced the rest of us to buy it and when it turned out to be complete shit we made fun of him. And if he ever said anything we suspected of being not entirely true we'd say he was 'brinking' us. Eventually it made him so mad he cut ties to us. Pretty funny 2bh

>>386347802
doesn't sound like Brink did but you two cum-junkies.

Wasn't there zero reason to play as a skinny dude?

Also, I remember the AI cheating like a motherfucker in single player.

>>386339474
Dirty Bomb being the fucking mess it is despite Splash Damage developing it practically independently really makes me think that they're just incompetent hacks and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was just a fluke.

>>386347791
>the movement was smooth and slick as fuck,
They kept saying that, but it sure as fuck wasn't in any of the promotional materials. It also never actually showed a single instance where the movement actually lead to some kind of exciting situation. It was always just running down hallways and shooting.

Graphics were perfectly average and besides, this was a fucking team based MP game. Why the fuck would you care about graphics. Sound design did not look particularly out of the ordinary either...

I don't know, I just can't understand it. It really feels like a case of PURE exposition hype: people getting hyped purely because it was heavily marketed, with no actual regard of what the marketing showed.

>>386339050
I still love BRINK to this day. Never understood why people didn't like it. Just suddenly one day I realized I was fighting the same players over and over and realized all the servers were gone and everyone said it was bad.

>>386347791
To be honest I feel like it did deliver on exactly what it wanted to deliver on. Although the whole "single player multiplayer blurred line" thing wasn't anything special.

It's just that people got over hyped and thought it was going to be more than what it said it was going to be. Also people complaining about the few maps it had is retarded.

>>386348115
That's not a great tradeoff since those places were nowhere near the objectives and you'd die from anyone looking at you funny.

The brink defense force in this thread is strange. I doubt they ever played it or have some weird contrarian nostalgic glasses on. The game is a huge failure for a reason, and no amount of bullshit about it actually being good is ever going to change that.

>>386347160
>This is what started the end for me, the end of taking any developer by their word.
Pretty late for that...
Wasn't Brink in 2011?
The game came out after Modern Warfare 2, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Hell Gate London, Spore, and every Fable game ever, and it was still the first game where you realized something is off with the hype machines?

Man, I must be fucking old. I was losing my naivité with games like Rune, Daikatana and Prey...

>>386339050
I got to play it months before it came out so I knew not to buy it.

It was going to have single player. Then we found out "single player" was just bot matches.

>>386347634

>Was it just a thirst for more class-based team based shooters?

This and the parkour and customization

Back then the dominant shooters were Cod and Halo, and Halo was just finding its feet with customization.

Cod had "Classes" that essentially boiled down to a loadout, and what perks you used, so they were incredibly soft core "Classes". And everyone looked the same. At the time Black Ops 1 coming out, they had a new system in which your primary perk you picked would affect your look and style of your character model, which people went ballistic over.

So imagine a game with actual proper character customization and classes at that time period

>>386348581
>I was losing my naivité with games like Rune, Daikatana and Prey..
Prey was released this year you dumb nigger.

>>386348697

Once again a new method of play (Integrating multiplayer with singleplayer) proved to be more limiting than beneficial. Like turning a series open world these days tends to do more harm than good

>>386348241
Sorry, I forgot that I'm not allowed to have an opinion that's different from the /v/ circlejerk.

>>386348697
>Then we found out "single player" was just bot matches.
Well, the whole "seamless merge of singleplayer and multiplayer in an in instance-based mostly territory-control-oriented multiplayer game" kinda gave that away. They even pretty openly described it from the start, making it clear that mechanically the two would be barely distinguishable.

>>386348741

All this >>386348719

Another big part of the marketing was that you'd get no one-hit kills, which were ripe in CoD with all the shitty noscope fagkids running around. Of course that proved to be fake as you could stack buffs onto the sniper to turn it into a one-hit kill anyway.

The biggest part of its downfall was, like AC Unity, the bugs. AMD cards literally could not run the game for some time which really hurt the playerbase. The singleplayer friendly AI was also dumb as bricks to try and balance for the player, whilst also being a huge CPU drain as 15 unoptimised bots ran around parkouring and shit.

So almost every part of it was hurt in some way. The parkour was simple with a little depth in that you could chain moves together with the right timing, similar to Jet Set Radio, but then the maps had huge bottlenecks which almost made the parkour redundant. Combat was okay, but then the sniper thing. Singleplayer was just awful all throughout. The only purely good thing about the game was customisation, which was pretty good.

>>386348847
But your opinion is retarded and wrong. The game was a financial failure and critically panned as shit across the fucking board. Stop being a /v/ contrarian and grow a brain

>>386349524
I had fun playing the game, that's all there is to it.

I'm gonna be honest though, some kind of over-the-top hood hero shooter set in Englewood with "real" guns and players anesthesizing with drugs and lean instead of medkits or magical healing beams or whatever could be kind of cool.

>>386347117
There were classes and Titanfall 1 sorta did a multi-player campaign as well.

>>386351025
It wasn't what was promised. The parkour system was unbelievably clunky, weapons felt like nerf guns, the AI was so retarded that yourself ended up having to constantly change roles to complete all of the objectives yourself.

Everyone was expecting at least some kind of open world discovery too, but all we got was shit tier MP missions. I liked how you could play from both perspectives on the same missions though, that was cool.

This game is one of my triggers.

I rented Brink from Gamefly, enjoyed it, sent it back. Didn't watch any of the trailers of the hype train.

You see Brink's trophies allow you to set up a map with no opponents so anything remotely technical like finishing an objective without being obstructed can just be done by creating a game with no bots or players and you just run through the map.

The game is honestly that broken.
