Whose getting brink?

[ChieftainStag]

considering that we can have 16 characters I'll probably have one of each. I own an Xbox and I would like to play with people I know not bots. Chieftain Stag is my gamertag also do you have a mike?

Send message and friend request if yes.

Maybe, maybe not. I'll read the scuttlebutt about it after its out.

But seriously...it's "Who's", not "Whose".

Not sure. The lack of female character customization and on top of that the statistics for how many possible things you can do proving there was no excuse for lack of female option really puts me off.
But also my main motivation was to play it with my friend who has been waiting for this game for awhile. I still havent talked to him about the lack of women in it though.

 

[Zhukov]

Yeah, probably.

But only because there isn't anything else coming out for a while.

($90 AUD. So very sick of taking it in the rear from Australian pricing.)

After Sony finish fixing the goddamn PSN then yeah definitely.

 

[Aphex Demon]

Well it looks fucking awesome, been waiting since day 1 for this to come out.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Pre-ordered it for the PC and already found a solid community that'll have a server. Can't wait for it to come out.

I hope I'm not the only person buying more than one copy.

I've got it pre-loaded on Steam (for the eventual mods, and my Steam groups), and have had it pre-ordered for 360 (to play with my friends) for about a year and a half.

Why are you buying more than one copy?

Because I'm not a fan of pirating my games. :/

I've got the pre-order set up. I'm probably going to go with a lightweight Infiltrator. The disguise ability looks neat.

Grammar trolling is best trolling. Though the rest of the post is serious

I like the idea of the SMART movement system, but I dislike FPS's in general. It does look pretty good though, and I like the whole "co-op multiplayer" rather than "every man for himself" that most FPS's seem to have.

I'll probably wait for the reviews. Or if one of my friends is getting it.

 

[Shadowfaze]

im getting it for ps3 providing PSN is back by the day 1 release date. As ever, im going light and sneaky with silenced weapons.

Silly reasoning. You'd have missed so many great games throughout history if you ignored them because you couldn't play as a female. Games should be judged first and foremost on their gameplay, and everything else should be secondary. I'd worry about getting more women into positions of political power long before I'd give a damn about them being in video games. If I were invested in gender issues, that is.

No. I am annoyed because it seems like something that would obviously be included and should since cuztomization is a focus. When something is a main point of a game, it should be well done. Yes there are games where you do not play as females, sure. MW2 doesnt. But MW2 also does not promote how customizable it is. (Since aesthetically it isnt)
What if there was a new GTA game with only 10 different total vehicles? Sure they are of higher detail than they used to be, but would that not severely hinder the game overall? Would it make the game unplayable? No. But it really takes away from the games flavor and lessens the experience. Not having female character models may not spell the games end, and it may still be fun, but Im sure that lacking them will hinder the game from getting to a higher point that it could have gotten to. Gameplay is important. If it was shoddy but still had females, it would be worse than it may be now (assuming the gameplay is good), but flavor matters. Bioshock plays well, but it had a great flavor to it that enhanced the game significantly. It did not have a female character choice, but it never suggested it would. But it did have a interesting variety of plasmids for example. Could have gotten rid of many of them, and it would have played well, but I think it would suffer for many of us.
