BRINK video game review from Robert Welkner of COIN-OP TV. Find out how this new release from Splash Damage and Bethesda stacks up among the competition. We take a look at the highs and lows of BRINK which is available now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
[..YouTube..] I think they should pay attention to both aspects
[..YouTube..] Bethesda called, they want their jacket back.
[..YouTube..] Dude stopping showing us gameplay that was out BEFORE the game came out.actually play it and look at the controls to see what all those things mean on your hud. Theres not going to be a sign say “THis does this and this does that” SO STOP WATCHING GAMEPLAY AND PLAY THE DAMN GAME!
[..YouTube..] I think singleplayer should always take precedence over multiplayer. Multiplayer for any game will eventually die as people move to new games etc. A good singleplayer can last for ever.
[..YouTube..] Brink comes from the same people that brought us Enemy Territory: Quake Wars; it’s a natural progression from that game and shares a huge amount of it’s DNA with it. Brink has a SP element, and just like ET:QW, it’s an offline, bot-populated mirror of the MP game. This is what it was always going to be. It’s what Splash Damage do. Brink is not a ‘big mess’ of a game: it’s just not the game YOU thought it was going to be. Hardly the fault of the developer.
[..YouTube..] Not getting it until PSN comes back online
[..YouTube..] I cant believe people are surprised this game sucks, I thought it look horrible the first time they showed it to us at E3 a few years ago. I dont think a single site has given this game a good review so far but the fanbois will always be there to say otherwise.
[..YouTube..] Fwiz didn’t send me
[..YouTube..] @vRzR Lies!!!
[..YouTube..] Great review, Rob! I haven’t gotten my hands on the game. However, I still am going to give it a shot. A lot of people are either blowing hot, or cold on this game. In conclusion every game should have a solid campaign, and an in-depth multiplayer for long term re-play capabilities.
[..YouTube..] @XDestroyer1000 thx for your input — we play all the games that get reviewed. I’ve had Brink over a week before launch and had checked it out twice at private media events. If you wanna keep track of the games I play then send me a friend request on XBL :)Also – I dont have an easy way to capture gameplay video so I use media assets that are supplied to me directly from their PR – it also means I dont have to worry about any YouTube Terms of Service issues.Are you liking Brink?
[..YouTube..] people dont give this game a chance , its only been out a day in america and isn’t even out in the eu !
[..YouTube..] @coinoptv I’m really liking Brink. It’s definitely different, and I’m still trying to get used to it. The campaign is not good, but it has a good foundation. The HUD is something I like. Splash Damage does a good job of displaying all that information in a clean fashion. Working towards the objectives isn’t hard if you’re used to Enemy Territory style objectives, although CP locations are fairly confusing. I’m hoping SD releases some compelling DLC maps. I would gladly pay for them.
[..YouTube..] @SFXBIGANT You mean sites like IGN and Gamespot the ones that used there amateur reviewers ?
[..YouTube..] multiplayer first. campaign second.
[..YouTube..] Sounds like this game is on the “brink” of disaster… YES! And it’s outtatherrrrrrrreee…..
[..YouTube..] Thanks for the great review… I was on the fence about it but i think i will pass, im still looking for the next great shooter black ops was a huge let down from mw2 of course cuz treyarc blows but anyways thanks again
[..YouTube..] I liked the first half of the review but couldn’t really agree with your examples of bad points.I expect this game to be multiplayer from the start, it’s my kind of game.
[..YouTube..] Some of the greatest games of all time dont even have 2-player never mind multiplayer. Single Player > Multiplayer
[..YouTube..] I agree…Doom was awesome when it evolved as a FPS, and EVERYBODY was playing it single-player..wasting precious life time(me guilty), but it was great. Not everyone wants to maintain a direct Internet connection, so should they pay the penalty by not having a game with a great single-player campaign?
[..YouTube..] I’m not gonna lie I really do like this game although it is a bit confusing at first after a couple matches you start to understand the controls I kind of wish that everything is unlocked at low levels because then you have nothing to look forward to I agree that campaign is a great aspects to all games but multiplayers for me so as much as I’d love a cool campaign if the game has good multiplayer I won’t be disappointed but I do like this game it just takes some getting used to
[..YouTube..] Isn’t
[..YouTube..] If you think thats confusing your dumb and you have not played MAG
[..YouTube..] warhawk was nigh on perfect upon release. IF you release a game that is multiplayer only, be sure to make it flawless. This game is a mess and I certainly wont buy it. Which is sad because I know splash damage are the kings of tactical fpses. <3 QWET
[..YouTube..] solo all the way. and even though its down do you have a psn?
[..YouTube..] @BlackNerdComedy 😀
[..YouTube..] Righ now the game is a mess on Xbox believe me.
[..YouTube..] This game is built for team work. You played the game for couple days and your complaining about the hud? Takes some time getting used to, its not like bo where a 3 year old kid could pick it up and play. This game is really not made for singleplayer so why would you even buy it to play that? I just don’t understand people like you.
[..YouTube..] @Dat0r1 thx for your input – i’m actually a game journalist so dont have to buy games and get them early.
[..YouTube..] Like i stated on your fb comment, i really like where this game can take you! Does it need some tweaking? Yes! Doesnt stop the fact that it’s a great team based fps. I have the xbox brink and i will say there is some lag issues. All in all good stuff!
[..YouTube..] dude get me a job doing what you do.
[..YouTube..] Youre so wrong about so many things in your review. But one thing is pretty much irrefutable. The resurrection system in this game is FAR from useless. Im not even sure if you understood how the spawn system works. You spawn on your nearest captured Health Command post. some times thats right next to you and sometimes the enemy hasnt allowed you to capture a single one and youre spawning forever away. so as a medic player, I can say that youre very wrong about this review… especially about res
[..YouTube..] Good review your saying just about everything that all the other sites have said about it.I lol at all the crazy comments attacking this review as if it where some sort of attack on there family
[..YouTube..] And another thing… The HUD is perfectly fine. Sure it took a whopping 15mins to get used to because there are so many classes, objectives, and other game mechanics that youre initially unaware of but after a while, i find it to be very useful. what about it doesnt make sense? equip on the left d pad.objective selection on the up d padprimary & secondary weapon displayhealth on the upper lefttime limit in the upper right….Very simple.
[..YouTube..] And you cant figure out whats going on because you havent played it enough. its just like griping on bc2 for being confusing when you first play it… its a new game with very specific objectives that you pick up after playing the game once or twice before.and to speak on the reviving time limit point again, this is an objective game. it isnt tdm on CoD. If there was no time limit, playing defense would be an absolute fuckfest of a nightmare. People would die and just run straight back to you.
[..YouTube..] Youre entire review revolved around very invalid and irrelevant point. Im not offended because you didnt like the game. there are legitimate concerns that count as cons that need to be addressed but you hit none of them.the biggest problems that you failed to mention were the lack of any multiplayer lobby system and the horrible lag online. with these problems existing in the game and made apparent to anyone whos played this game for a day, you chose to peg it for very dumb reasons 😛
[..YouTube..] I’m surprised you didn’t attack it’s lag issues currently, shows how much research you did, as for the revive issue you spoke about…that is to encourage teamwork just like everything else is. And just because there is a HUD different from the cookie-cutter one that is dominated by the COD market doesn’t mean it’s bad, you just have to get used to it. These were really weak points you made…and frankly…there are a lot better ones you could have made. Prepare more. Nice productions values tho
[..YouTube..] I was disappointed with the game.The mechanics were solid but I really didn’t like the way you unlock weapons and attachments. I think it has a lot of promise and I do hope they make a second.
[..YouTube..] You do know that you can turn many of the HUD options off?
[..YouTube..] Yeah that was weak maybe next time you should put bigger issues out like LAG I can’t even play a game on xboxlive with out feeling like I’m on wal mart connection so please try and make a video talking about that rather that hud issues and respawns that was plain stupid
[..YouTube..] Oh yeah and next time mention the lack of lobbys to its horrible that I can’t even get a group of friends to join
[..YouTube..] Press 8 repeatedly… squeeeeeeel
[..YouTube..] The thing with all the reviews I’ve seen is that they all are generally rated down if they point out the obvious flaws of the game. Currently it’s 69 on Metacritic which shows that’s it’s not about personal opinion or bias, it’s just a game without a story, really piss poor multiplayer experience (I’m talking about terrible lag and no lobbies) and generally no direction or polish.
[..YouTube..] i’m all about multiplayer only but it has to be GOOD—–btw I feel so weird about this game. It has nothing but bad reviews but i still want to play it

[..YouTube..] This or crysis 2.????
[..YouTube..] the hud is your main complaint? you’re a puss. “waaahhh too much in my screen :(” gotta be joking.
