Brink 2022: It's NOT as bad as you remember

I never thought this was a bad game, I enjoyed the heck out of it. I'd love to see a new one.

[@NevTheDeranged]

@@LemThurdy420 no it didn't. It's clear he's making fun of it. And he's not wrong about many of its flaws. But I still thought it was a fun game with some cool ideas, many of which have probably been done better by later games at this point. That said, the super deep character customization was a great element i haven't seen in other games of this genre.

[@jayboog740]

Splash Damage still exists and makes games, so there's a chance, since they own the IP, not Bethesda.

This was the last game my childhood best friend played with me before he moved to a different state. Tbh I didn’t even notice how bad the game was, I was just glad my friend was there.

@@motionsundries2047 well no not really, we used to live down the street from each other a long time ago. like i said, on the last day he was in my state he came over my house after we moved and played this game with me and also gave me a copy of dead island(which my stupid ass brother sold not knowing the sentiment of it) and he left after a few hours of chilling with me. his name was Romey. If you're out there bro, I miss you.

This was the first game I ever pre-ordered and I remembered really enjoying it although Black ops eventually stole my heart. Is there any way to play this gem on Series S?

[@parsapourjabar]

This game was ahead of it’s time. Wall Run, Parkour, Slide, Peaking around Cover. I truly believe this game influenced many of the CoD games with certain mechanics

[@SoapBark]

Ah so this is why CoD sucks. It all makes sense now.

Titanfall influenced the CoD games, this influenced f-all

Moral of the story: This game was cool when it came out, but now? Not so much

[@nerfblacksoule]

Brink is one of my favorite games. It combines my favorite parts of an FPS. Parkour, custom classes and abilities, and a post apocalypse setting. I wish I could find something modder than hit thoes buttons

​@@WeCareAlot4693honestly back then I played it but didnt think too much of it. I just thought it looked like a weird mix of Black Ops 1, TF2 and Halo Reach

[@BobbyCroseBewler]

People love to pretend they liked something back in the day because of nostalgia.

[@poegetsbored6640]

I absolutely LOVED Brink, but it was built with a very strong tilt towards players who spent more time with the game. Newer players didn;t have access to the better guns and equipment.

[@Shel230]

Ya

[@KillaCaliHustle]

Well my big complaints were a simple lack in diversity of game types. No death match not even a kill counter. The story and online were literally identical just one had horrible AI

Idk bro. Brink was ahead of it time bro. It took tactics to a different level. It was pretty easy but challenging at the same time. I even loved the soundtrack. If they were to remaster and sell, it would do numbers.

This game was underrated. I remember randomly buying this game because it was a shooting game and I fw shooting games like Cod. I do not know what the game was about because I was only in 3rd grade. The game was fire. I still have it till this day.

[@Titusknapp]

I played this when I was a kid and am still in love with it. The game not delivering enough hype is just not true. It's fast paced, has a very interesting story, and the character customization and abilities chart are my favorite things about it.

[@Titusknapp]

Also it's free on steam if y'all didn't know

[@popjake0177]

Wish it was on ps4/5

[@colbyboucher6391]

I don't know... Brink was the first game I got on a hype train for. I assume you weren't around for all it's prerelease marketing? Not just that one cinematic trailer but lengthy discussions about gameplay decisions, what their goals were, lots of early footage... The game somehow got *less* polished over time. I'm fairly sure they pulled the Ubisoft trick of totally prerendered, simulated "gameplay" because the animation quality of those early trailers was wonderful. The objectives were even more interesting. Then the game came out, and it ran like hot garbage, and the maps were cramped to the point where a lot of the wacky class interactions just didn't apply, every map was a meat grinder. It only delivered on the concept in a hollow, very unfinished-feeling way. It *should* have been the culmination of everything Splash Damage had made thus far, instead it was pretty mid by comparison, too janky to take the crown. Then Dirty Bomb happened and it was just a much less ambitious Brink which was... disappointing.

there's a game called dirty bomb that's on steam that was made by the same developers, I would highly recommend it, the official servers were shut down in 2019 or so but there's several community ran servers that you can still get into, it's not quite brink but it's closer than anything else I've played
