I kinda agree with him.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Point was not that anything below 8 is bad, it's just that so many other games are getting reviews of 8.5 or higher and therefore, all "good" games are over 8.5 while all "average games" are below that. That's atleast how i feel about review scores.
it still looks fun, I trust Bethesda and I don't trust IGN, only for their guides.
I think I still give it a shot, an FPS that let's me do more movements than jump and crouch looks fun

i won't cancel my preorder. a lot of negative points were about the lack of on-hit kills from sniper/shotguns and grenades and this is working as intended. The only thing i could get behind is that the game maxes out to soon(level-wise) but this can easily be corrected with DLC/mappacks.
the only downside this game has for me is that the European release is 4 days before the witcher 2

Popular franchises tend to get really good reviews because reviewers who are fans of the franchise are the ones reviewing it 99 times out of a 100. They're honest within that context (although they're always willing to gloss over faults that dominate user reviews), but their reaction is pretty much guaranteed to be positive unless the franchise takes a dramatic left turn.D_987 said:
New franchise is always going to score lower for that reason. No one knows exactly what to expect from the game, so critics are going in with no real expectation of enjoying the game.
And peaking at the reviews so far, it sounds like my impression is more or less correct. The solo campaign (the entire reason I play these things) isn't really that interesting. Since I don't care overly much for MP, I think I can safely give this one a miss... but I hope that SMART system makes its way into other games.
Reviews are all subjective, I never buy a game based on reviews, If I really want the game, like I do Brink, I'll get it.

Best quote-ownage so far
Lol, seriously.
OT: I didn't like it. Seems when IGN isn't paid they aren't too far from the truth.
Well on this occasion they gave a 6/10, Which we all know is meant to mean "meh". Shame that in a proper use of the 1-10 scale, "meh" would be closer to 4/10, but as you say, IGN staff need to compromise to get paid. As long as you can understand the hints behind the review, you shouldn't have to worry about these absurdly high scores.Xzi said:
The only reviewers I care about are the ones who have the decency to put it into a video format and be generally funny while still pointing out cons/pros.
YOU FAILED ME, IGN! GRAAAHH!!
On a side note, I'll acquire this game trough sweat, tears and blood, not necessarily in that order.

It's had the most mixed reviews I've ever seen :S
2's and 10's.
9's and 6's.
Niche appeal, I reckon. An acquired taste.

The perils of releasing a MP-centric game. Unless you're running a fairly large beta before release, reviewers don't really have the option to review your MP content.de5gravity said:
This is one of the reasons why trying to muscle your way into this exclusive club is so difficult. MP content doesn't get you good reviews until you're a member of the club.
Excuse me but how much does Brink cost? $60?D_987 said:
Whn Killzone 3 came out (and I'm a huge KZ fan) it was hammered because of its SPP portion. It wa good just not as great as KZ2. The botzone (basically the same thing Brink has for a SP campaign) was great because KZ is known for its great AI and the multiplayer vs others is its go to mode with millions of hours playwed in total.
If you guys think that Brink can get awayu with having a terrible SP while othe FPS's get the same treatment it just shows the desperation of some of you for this game to be good. They made a multiplayer only game for $60 that doesn't realy do anything special except for parkour, and they advertise it as a full package. They should of gone the MAG route instead of wasting peoples time with the terrible AI.
Lost my interest when they started listing 'music' and 'weapon upgrades' among their thousands of "unique character models". I think someone needs to talk with their designers.
I don't know why it took people as long as now to realise Brink sucks, it has always looked shit. I remember watching a video of it all the way fuck back and it was the same damn map they showed in some of their most recent videos. In my opinion, the gun gameplay looks dull, the parkour is grossly overrated, the maps are depressing to look at and the customisation is useless.
I feel quite bad for the developers that it has been received poorly, hopefully the durhurhype crowd will at least give them some compensation for their efforts.
I think you can guess that no, I won't be getting it.
