Also, hello robot man. Long time no see
in mmo's i can solo when i want and team when i'm lonely, but there's god damned nothing in brink, if i wanted to play an fps that was nothing but me running around shooting meat bots by myself all day i'd plug in perfect dark
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!
but only from 360 players
yup :lol:
I thought Brink was about rollerblading.

I was sadly mistaken
So what did people do?
Buy it for the PS3, go home and then ...... play against bots?
I'd love to see the sales figures for the PS3 version.
I loved that movie when I was a kid.
did it turn out not to be fun?
my unofficial autobio will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
cause I've found that when they don't see you frown, they never know that you're a threat
and they don't sweat you when you came around
makes me afraid to leave the skirts of TF2
So a lot of people hate it because it's not CS or CoD or Halo but I fucking love it.
Wouldn't that make for an incredible amount of lag if people are just popping in and out of your games? How do servers work exactly
Experimental doesn't really cover it: there isn't really a single-player at all, unless you would have counted playing TF2 against bots as singleplayer. How they got away with calling it that is beyond me. Well, I guess they didn't get away with it, looking at some of those review scores.
Anyways on PC the way it works is you can either play it solo (i.e. with a team of stupid bots against another team of stupid bots) or you can find a server online. Or you can do the weird middle-ground thing where you set up a game and people can join in on you but it will likely be horrible and laggy because you are acting as the host for them.
ditto, that was my jam back in the day.
"Resurrection, huh? That's pretty pricey. Give me your fucking boots."
Brink needs about two or three solid, meaty patches before it's great. But there's meat on those bones. I fucking adore the art style. But there's a whole host of bugs and glitches and imabalances that I don't doubt will be smoothed out in a month or so.
yeah I agree.
I'm having a lot of fun with it when I play against bots plus 2 or 3 other humans who are very nearby geographically
Hopefully a couple of patches will fix the netcode. If it ever runs as smoothly as Bad Company 2 I'll probably never stop playing.
Sounds pretty great to me because I fucking hate Halo and there's a significant portion of my life back I'd like from CS. I think I can attribute a full point maybe even a point and a half loss of my GPA in my first year of college to CS.

I think you'd have to start making explicitly genderist comments to get me to agree with you less
throw in something about hating the jews maybe
STEAM ID
There's no sniper option in this game is there? That class takes the team aspect out of FPS so badly...
It does mix things up a bit. It used to be every couch comic had it facing either to the left of the panel or directly on. Lately it's been facing the right more often, and showing more of the floor and the doorway is useful too.
So that it doesn't become stale
I had to do resits on about five of my gcse exams because of Phantasy Star Online. That game landed at the absolute best and worst time for me.
As of right now they're losing sales because it's maybe $45 worth of game for $60.
i am stealing this and writing a story about it
consider it THIEVED

Brink is a lot of fun BTW. You might want to wait for a patch or two and for the price to maybe come down somewhat, but it's a lot of fun.
I remember L4D and L4D2 getting a lot of flak for this, but I guess the numerous bugs in Brink stop folks from dwelling on it too much
There are indeed sniper rifles. There's no dedicated sniper class, though. The sniper rifles aren't all that fantastic, though.
I'm going to try a few of the other rifles, but so far I haven't found one that is just super great.
I seem to remember the devs saying that sniping was possible, but they made it difficult. So far, I would have to agree.
I agree with this
is there literally a single human being on the planet that ever played through battlefields single player?
There isn't really a problem with developers focusing solely on multiplayer, that's just the audience they're going after. And I probably won't buy it. Unless it has hats.
I played through Bad Company's single player and never touched multi.
I hate competitive multiplayer. I actually had some hope for Brink, but if there's no story and it's just fighting people because they're there, looks like I won't bother.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
