Brink Review

Boss **Stature** : 117 US

This is officially the THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. It's is fucking garbage, nothing good about it, it's terrible. The campaign is multiplayer, and I don't mean co-op. I mean the campaign missions are straight up multiplayer matches with bots. Every game is like playing COD capture the flag or sabotage with bots. The enemies continuously respawns and there is a timer and if it runs out you fail and must restart from the beginning. People can join in and play on either your team or the enemies. You can set it to co-op or versus modes. It is IMPOSSIBLE to play with anyone else, this game is a laggy piece of shit, it is implayable with people so you're forced to play by yourself. Here's the problem, your teamate bots are fucking retarded, they are completely unreliable so you must do EVERYTHING by yourself.

This makes the game extremely difficult. On EASY the enemy bots take like 15-20 bullets before they die and THREE FUCKING BULLETS KILL YOU. It's like playing COD with bots and while you have normal health they have 5X your health. This made Mission 2 IMPOSSIBLE to beat by yourself, there is no fucking way to beat it by yourself. The last objective is to capture a data key and go 200 meters away and hack a console. The enemies spawn AT THE OBJECTIVES. First they spawn at the datakey, and then after you get it they spawn at the console. After the 1.5 minute sprint you get to the console and it takes like a fucking minute to hack into the damn thing, while you are hacking it you can't shoot back and the enemy SPAWNS RIGHT THERE. You're teamates DO NOT HELP, out of like the 7 teamates you have 1 follows you only to get killed. And once you die carrying the datakey an enemy walks over it and it gets immediately reset to it's starting point. Fucking bullshit, and the worst part? You have like 5 fucking minutes to do it, it takes anywhere between 5-15 minutes to get to this point and you have to start over if the time runs out.

The other missions were hard as balls too, when I beat them I felt relieved like a mother fucker and it was more luck than skill. This game by yourself on MOTHERFUCKING EASY is harder than COD 2 on veteran, harder than Demon's Souls, it's a fucking bitch.

Let's move on, the story sucks dick and just gets in the way in general because there is no actual campaign mode, campaign, co-op, and versus mutliplayer are one. There is a challenge mode with only 4 challenges that are boring as fuck and hard as hell by yourself, but you can't play with anyone else or lags like fuck. One is a first person platforming challenge, i'll leave that to your imagination. The guns don't sound real, and the graphics are shit. It looks a bit like borderlands or teamfortress 2 but the graphics are only half the quality. There is barely any fucking content in this game and it's impossible to play with others because of the lag. The only games I ever lag on are COD and Gears 2, that's it, people always want me to host on Gears 1 because I have the best connection to the point where host advantage isn't that noticeable.

I'm sure you all remember the parkour it's suppose to have, it's just a gimmick, it's never used, it's not remotely useful. There are 4 classes, it's a pain in the ass there is virtually no difference between them other than one ability so you always have to change to do the different objectives, it'd be better if there were no classes.

All in all this is the worst game I've ever played, I got it on Gamefly, what a waste of money, this game is not even worth renting. No one buy it, don't rent it, don't borrow it, refuse a free copy it will just give you headaches and terrible memories.

The character customization is cool though, I made my guy look like a blue Helghast.

EDIT: oh yeah, you can play the missions in any order of either of the two campaigns, the opposing factions, 6 missions and 2 what if missions for each, but only 8 maps.

EDIT 2: OH RIGHT I FORGOT, whenever you start a campaign mission, you are connected to the online servers, so even if you are host and the only one playing you still experience minor lag and I once had a mission dropped just like that forcing me to start over.
