There was another thread about it, but the last post was from 2009. I don't want to dig it from the grave.

Who has it? What system? Opinions?

I have it for PC, played about 7 hours now. My thoughts:

• Challenges NEED to be done before you get to a high level, or they're hard as hell to beat.
• The idea is great. I like it.
• In Free Play, the only way to have fun is to find a dedicated server. If you find a good one, you can play for hours (need good, not stacked teams too).
• Customization is interesting
  
  • There isn't much to customize on every weapon, but what you do customize does help on the field.
  • Appearance is cool, lots of different styles of everything.
  • Body types:
    
    • Currently I am using the light body type. Seems to be working out nicely.
    • Medium is what you start out with, you can take a fair amount of damage, and parkour everything you need to.
    • Heavy is a bullet sponge (so my friend says, and the empty ammo clips on the ground). You can't parkour things, which really helps in battle. Use heavy for medic, any other class is bad with it.
    
    
  
  
• The bugs:
  
  • there's a map you play on, and it kills the in-game sound completely. I still played alright, but it really screws you up when you can't hear shit around you.
  • Frames Per Second. Seriously, i'm getting shit FPS most of the time in multiplayer (and my rig shouldn't do that, at all). Disabling shadows, and installing the newest drivers helped a little bit, but my ATI 5870 is dogging it sometimes.
  
  
• Bots. Oh, how I hate joining a dedicated server, only to find that i'm the only REAL person on it.
• Haven't played the campaign, but I heard it was just like MP but with bots.

That's about it for now.

Saw a video for it on Wednesday, and decided that it deserved to be put on my ohai-To-Get-List. More than likely going to get it for the 360, I really don't buy games for the PC anymore unless I want to mod it.

Awful Awful game, would not recommended unless you have people to play with. I found single player almost unplayable the AI (bots) are terrible, some of the worst AI Pathing I've seen in years, i saw them all stood around in a circle on the second half of the second security mission, not even helping out, just having a little chit chat about who has the biggest dick.

Waste of money, keep your money and use it to buy a much better game; ie. LA Noire.

you're basing your opinion on a multiplayer only game on bots




what


(also the bot difficulty scales with your level hth)

that's like loading up l4d and criticizing the gameplay on the survivor bots or infected bots being so bad. alternatively, a tf2 server with just yourself and the rest bots.

Any once you get to at least level 5, the bots get way better.

Just find a dedicated server (Reddit r/Brink server). Ones that are mostly always occupied with people are great.

There was an update today, anyone know what that's about?Guess it fixed a lot of stuff.

I think I found a bug with this new patch

[TeeKup]

Was there a console patch too? ;-;

Single player and i've played 6 games of online multiplayer (PC) so no not just on some MP game with bots.
