BRINK Underrated or Overrated ? (Poll Included)

A FPS game with kinda the LBP Avatar hook up + Mirror's Edge Stunts + COD Run and Gun + Borderlands elements. It seems pretty interesting for a Bethesda Title. . IS anyone getting it ?

UPDATE

smh. . I have no idea how this game has gotten a 6.0. . Im not pissed, im just shocked. After all the hype and expectations from it it really gotten a 6.0 out of 10 ??

It's on my radar but I've already purchasedLA Noire so I'm going to wait a few weeks on Brink if it ends up being worth a purchase.

You have to remember this is not a Bethesda Game Studios (Oblivion, Fallout 3) production. The game is made by Splash Damage, who have yet to prove themselves as a competent single-player developer.

I'm definitely going to wait this one out. If it gets good reviews and people really like it, I'll consider it.

With so many good games coming out I don't think my wallet can afford it when it comes out. But I'll get it either in July or when it gets a price drop. I usually don't like FPS games but the customization in this one got me intrigued.

nope, no where near my radar lolJoKeR_421

I have it pre-ordered.

i have ir preordered but im thinking of canceling. From what I hear, the games mechanics are not very good and as watch more and more gameplay it seems that it wont live up to the hype....like homefront

I know you've been gone for awhile YC, but damn, this question gets asked like every 2 days lol

But yeah, I'm getting it.

Im thinking about it. . I wonder how big the maps are and how the campaign is... Young_Charter

YUP! I pre-ordered it for the PS3. :D

well to be fair the SP basically is the MP just with a story attached to it. SD have proven that they can make great MP games. I think that with their skills and Bethesda's backing they might have something stellar here. From what ive seen the game is a winner but a few things can hold it back.

The lag factor / The game will have servers on PC but what about consoles?

The balance factor / If any class or faction becomes overpowered /overused that's a problem

and just the overal feel of shooting and movement in the game which they seem to have paid a lot of attention to.

Its really a wait n see type thing with those though. I took the plunge and pre ordered it.

Imagine UT3 where the SP plays just like the MP but with a story and bots but at the same time if you choose human players can join you as you are playing the SP.

I plan on buying it the day of release. If PSN isn't up by then though I will hold off until it comes back up.

Honestly I need to see more to answer.

Pre-ordered it a month ago, it looks pretty great!

I only rarely play a shooter and Brink doesn't interest me at all.

i pre-ordered but wont be picking it up if psn is not back online since there is no offline gameplayspecial77j

There IS offline gameplay and a full story mode campaign for both factions.

lol. Yeah making an online only game is a risk few are willing to take id think. If you go that route your MP had better be the best thing since cooked ham. It isnt SP in the normal sense though which might throw some people off but it is SP.

It also sucks because the game becomes impossible to play after they shut the servers down.

At least with SP-only games you can play them 10 to 20 years from now.

Yup thats one of my fav aspects as well. It's probably has the deepest customization system ive seen in an FPS game. It'll be cool to recognize people by how they look and not by the name floating over their head.

It looks like a lot of fun.

Well that might not be the case. The gears 3 beta has support for p2p and servers So people can keep playing no matter what.

Already preordered it!

Someone is saying that the Bethesda name is a stamp of quality, but remember they also published Rogue Warrior. And I think it's odd that there's no reviews of it yet. Usually that is not a good sign.

I haven't preordered it, but I have my eyes on it. If the reception is good I'll pick it up. If it scores badly, it's the kind of game I pick up when the price has dropped drastically.
