Is Brink completely terrible - Or just the Console Versions

Just curious

I'm playing it on the PC and really like the game - been playing through it a bit co-op with a buddy and we're having a blast.

I've read reviews on the game which state numerous issues but wasn't sure if these were just console issues since I haven't read a review yet where the test platform was the PC.

it needed more content

and Id tech 4 isnt made for Consoles, but the PC version is quite bad atm, it needs some patching

I just got it for PC and it is horribly choppy, even on low settings. I've read that it has something to do with my AMD/ATI processor and graphics combo. MrSelf-Destruct

It got 7.8 on Metacritic which isn't nearly a terrible score. Also if you're enjoying the game why does it matter so much to you how it scored? Do the scores that you consider "terrible" spoil the game for you?

Just asking.

I played it for about an hour and sent it back to Gamefly. Like APB, the customization of your character is better than the actual game.More importantly, it alerted me to the fact that I don't like multiplayer shooters anymore.

Most importantly, the game just isn't any fun.

Funny thing is...The engine this game uses is modified ID Tech 4,at barely 30fps while looking anything but hot.MW2 or BLOPS,that get so much slack,are running on modified ID Tech 3,at average 57 fps(360) and looking considarably better than this game...

Damn shame.Bad port is bad...

It seems to be pretty spotty on PC (especially for people with AMD/ATI GPUs), but less so than the console versions (well, version until PSN is back up, really).

I'm having fun with it, I really want to get the PC verison when it's on sale on Steam.

Whos the developer? Oh yea those guys :roll:

In all honest opinion, after playing Brink I feel that had it been pc only it would have been something special, instead its released as clunky gameplay. I was hoping this would pull me away from tf2, but it wont.

PC version got a 6/10 too

BRINK is simply amazing and a breath of fresh air.

One of the best online shooters this gen imo.

I have played about 18 hour of PC versino and 2 of xbox version. PC versino is defiantly alot better.

RIght nwo I would rate PC version 9/10 and xbox 8/10 or 7.5/10.

It honestly seems like the reviewer at gamepsot just copied and pasted the xbox review.

The only online games this gen that can compete with BRINK imo are TF2 and Bad Company2, Brinks is more enjoyable then Halo Reach, COD Black ops or MW2 by a long shot imo.

Seems to be the theme as of late

Have the people who voted its TERRIBLE even tried it? Or just letting so called profesional reviewers tell them it sucks?

I have it. It seems as though it's a rough copy instead of a completed game. There are things that are clever and enjoyable, but there are other things that are highly frustrating. Some will hate it, some will love it. I don't hate it, but I do regret spending a full 60 on it. I'm trading it in towards L.A. Noire.

lol. Yes, it appears as if Bethesda/SDhave shared their "love" equally across all platforms.

It has a ton of issues, but good ideas. The reviews were right. I've only played the Xbox 360 version though, returning it tomorrow though. I'm tired of playing on teams of bots versus teams of mostly real people, and then losing in the last minute to even last five seconds. hensothor

Play without bots then, its very easy.

Just the console versions, I heard PC version doesn't have some of the problems.

Arma2 overall reviews = in the 70's (77)

Brink Pc overall reviews = in the 70's (73)

Risen Pc overall reviews = in the 70's (77)

Low scores by 'pro' reviewers seems to mean the game will be enjoyable to me :lol:

funny thing about the poll too is probably only a couple people actually played it, others are voting off the reviews they readlamprey263

Apparently it's quite better on the PC.skrat_01

seems to me the game was delivered as buggy mess since the pc version has loads of bugs too and some people cant even play it and some having what is now being called the texture grid bug.

This is the kinda crap I'm getting out of Brink. Looks like Minecraft from the future. Turns out the game wasn't properly optimized for the Radeon HD4xxx series graphics cards, so pretty much everybody running one gets 15fps and this funky grid glitch. :|

Ah that might be the ATI glitch someone was talking about in another thread lol - was like "runs great" but I'm running the 5870 lol.

"Absolutely frustrating. You have to SQUEEZE the fun out of this game it comes by so rarely in tiny bursts, hardly worth the effort."

Pretty much somes up my thoughts about the game.
