Poll: Brink Reviews

[a ginger491]

So far Metacritic has 2 good reviews for the 360 version and one bad review for the PS3 version. Nothing yet on the PC. I'm confused as to how this metacritic thing is supposed to work..

They got it wrong, the supposed PS3 version was also based on the 360 version. In all fairness though, Joystiq spent all their time talking about the poor AI, so it was justifiable to think that they were testing it on the PS3 while the PSN was down.

As for IGN having horrible reviews - they make among the better video reviews, although it helps to actually have some footage to look at rather than just taking their word for it.

I think the game was finished before the PSN outage. not having a game finished about a month before release sounds a bit far fetched

I can't comment on when it was finished, but Joystiq definitely only got the game since the PSN went down.

Oh, I misheard you is all actually. I thought you were saying splash damage was still play testing their game when the PSN went out but you seem to be saying that the Joystiq rewiew is based solely on the single player which is not what the game was intended for so the review must be thrown in a bin

Nope, not gonna buy it. Only blazing reviews to rival Half Life's would get me to buy it.

Why? Because the thing I love, Mirror's Edge FPPlatforming, is second banana to the thing I despise, Yet Another Multiplayer Shooter.

I already own it, the game's a lot of fun, it's just really buggy, anyone who got shogun 2 around release and played the multiplayer knows that this is a relatively common problem for some studios. The problems eventually get fixed, and when they do the game becomes what it was supposed to be. What I don't like is when a game gets released and the bugs are small, so they never get fixed. Eventually, most call of duty games have their multiplayer ruined that way, the game was already sold, so the bugs that become more and more well known eventually break the multiplayer.

I'm guessing they will tweak the AI a bit too they already have done a bit.
