The choice of Brink...

I wanted to get other people's perspective on this title and how they'll think it'll turn out upon release? I realize it won't be out for a few weeks, but I'm still trying to figure out whether to get it for the pc or Xbox? I have a good enough pc to run it well, but wanted other's opinions on what they think the online longetivity will turn out to be as compared between the pc and Xbox? I know it's a steamworks game which will help, but as much I like the MP of the recent title Homefront, the online community (pc) is quite small for being a recent release and I wanted to make a more well rounded decision for Brink.

Looks fun but the recommended system requirements are too high for a game like that... In no way should it need that kind of power especially in the cpu department...

Inconsistancy

I think I'm in agreement for this, I believe those recommended are for a solid 60 FPS the entire time on 100% top quality graphics, but we'll see. I just wish there would be more talk about this game from the community. While there is some talk on the community boards, here, steam, and the official forums, it doesn't seem as pronounced for this game and I'm wondering why. Although it seems like a mirror of team fortress 2, that could definitely be a good thing right?

I would hope this be the case... But how often are those recommended settings on the back of these boxes, or posted requirements... Actually mean that.. I have found 0.. and I have been gaming for a long long long time... My phenom II x4 945, should easily be enough to max this game at 60fps, NO REASON IT SHOULDN'T ASIDE FROM CRAPPY DEVELOPMENT!

Now if this were to be the case (RECOMMENDED MEANING WHAT YOU NEED FOR MAX 60FPS), and this is literally one of the first times ever, then I am all for it, they need to be considerably more accurate in what they put in the system requirements and recommended as well....

It looks great, but I'll wait and see if it manages to build a community before I buy it.

I find ur question...a bit naive...giving the fact that the top 10 most played "online" games are on PC...i think top 20...or 50...or all games that have online capability's are played the most on pc(excluding console exclusive's)

I understand your reasoning, however, I was just referencing my time with my purchase of Homefront on the pc, which I was really excited for and I believe that it has a really good MP component, which has been talked highly of in reviews, however, the pc online community is quite small for being a newer released as I stated earlier.

Im still on the fence with Brink and will wait for some of you fine posters to give your opinions before I buy. These are the same guys that did Quake Wars, are they not? Wasnt a fan of that so I will wait and see. Hopefully it turns out good though. And I would definitely get it on the PC, but I think that any shooter short of Halo (or anything similar in mechanics) should be on the PC. Bias, bro.

Fair enough...BUT,

First thing...In order to say about something,this "something" is small...in your case the pc community for Homefront...you need to make a comparison...in order to be "able" to say about the pc community of Homefront that is "small" u need to compare it with the xbox community of Homefront or PS3 community...

Second thing...When you buy games,dont listen to review sites...listen to the players who play that game...try to find out from the players who play the game if that certain game is gonna suit you etc...

P.S. Only here on this forum(not to talk about other sites) there a bunch of threads about Homefront,whit comments from the players who actually play the multiplayer...guess what?none of them are impressed by the multiplayer aspect of the game...so you could of draw ur conclusions about the game from them,before buying it...

I think this will be one of those games where its fun on a server where you play with the same people alot. Its nice to see a new fps based on fun and not cod cloning or realism.

I'm not impressed by what i seen, it may be alright i just don't know, there has just been to many meh shooters this year

Don't want to argue over the internet, but if you're looking for facts in a forum on gamespot, you'll have to find someone with more care than I have to put forth on a gaming forum. I purchased Homefront at release after having it preordered. I know the steam stats show the online community to not have over 2000 players a day, which I'm assuming is less than the Xbox community, if you have facts, fine, show them and be done with it. I just stated that reviewers stated the MP was good, not that I trust everything our of their mouths, but I will say from experience, that I enjoyed the MP and thought it was fun. You'll find lovers and haters abound, that's just life on the internet. This is sidetracking what I was wanting to find out and that was people's opinion of the game itself and whether, from around the web, they supposed it would have a decent community on the pc. That's all, no need to blow it out of whack.

Im planing on getting it on launch. Should be fun! :D

Iam not blowing anything...

But to me you looked like a guy who felt down in a whole...and u where screaming for help...i didnt helped you to climb out of the whole...but i did learned you how to avoid further wholes...i gaved you some "tricks" how to jump the whole next time...

And for that you pick on me...nice...thats lesson learned for me...Dont try to give advice to people who needs it,they will trow dirt in ur face...nice.

My friend and I pre-ordered this game ages ago. It looks great! And the more I see of it, the more I think I made a good decision and it should be a fun game at launch.

The only thing is, though.. with all the customization, I would've taken a quarter of that if we could have had female models in the game. It just seems weird to me that women don't exist in this universe. I guess they're all off making babies instead of participating in the big fight.

LOL I can't really say I agree or disagree, Haven't played it and it isn't even out...

But I will say that... is a pretty precise time there lol... Lets make it 43 minutes and 43 seconds (for it to really sink in) lol

No I hope the game will be great and that it is optimized ok, (hoping the recommended mean max stable 60fps)

If that was cynicism, you might want to try out Wolf:ET, which they released for free when Activision pulled the plug on it, or the demo for Quake Wars:ET.shane_orija

Brink looks good, but I am looking forward more to Firefall

"Recommended Specs

• Processor: Intel Quad Core i5"
  
  
  

If you need a Core i5 to max it out at a stable framerate, I won't be buying it. That would be completely ridiculous, there is nothing about that game that looks demanding on the CPU.

I would expect a Athlon II x4 at the most. The suspect sys reqs make me wanna wait till after release to see the verdict on it. I'm not gonna blow $50 on a game that performs like ass.
