Zero Punctuation: Brink
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Many of Yahtzees reviews, including this one, reinforce the notion he?s an unskilled gamer. The classes have different abilitieas. There?s a whole menu, item in the HUD, objectives, etc. based on classes. How could you miss them and the other weapons in the menu?
The weapons I find more forgivable b/c it is mostly SMGs and there?s no sniping b/c there?re no 1-hit-kills. Did I mention Brink sucks? Compared to TF2 it fails. Compared to Mirror?s Edge for puzzle platforming it fails. Compared to Crysis 2?s multiplayer it fails and that game lets you mantle more things without having made that its? main selling point. Brink has nothing to offer that a competitor hasn?t already implemented more successfully.

I'm sorry, I really am but this is the one review you've ever done which I couldn't stay until the end of.
Not because of the game the review was about even but because of saying that TF2 hats are a bad idea, over and over again.
It's like not eating when you're starving to death because you think you'll get fat.
Hats were neccessary for TF2 to survive this long. Players need an incentive to keep playing which comes in the form of rare items. They originally planned this to be the unlockable weapons, if anyone remembers how difficult it was to get the ubersaw when it first came out. This lead to more players achievement farming than actually playing and the ones which didn't complained that the ubersaw was too powerful and too rare to get without farming. Thus aestetic only rare items were introduced to help this problem.
I know why you say it though, as a game reviewer who needs to play a different game once a week before moving on, you'd naturally be against unlocks which take more than a week to get, while other players who would keep playing a particular game would love the reward for playing that long.
I agree with the review of brink though. They take customisable clothing a bit too far.
Although I think it's much closer to Urban Terror than Team Fortress 2. Almost identical in fact because of the parcour things it involves as well as the weapons and skills.

Another awful comment!Hyakunin Isshu said:
Hyakunin, I'm telling you this as someone who isn't a troll: You're ANNOYING! You're just seeking attention. It's really sad that you will go out of your way to troll.
If you don't like Zero Punctuation, don't watch it. Simple logic, you see.
