People are still clinging onto this issue? 

His issues weren't soley based on the console. The gunplay, bots, and lack of a single player game is what threw him off. I think it would have scored much higher if the game had been a cheaper title, but alas it's a full retail game.

" @RiotBananas: I wasn't comparing the quality of the two games, just that the Quick Look (and in Brink's case, the reviews as well) aren't the best reflection of the game's strengths. In Brink's case, Jeff's dislike of the worst parts of the game is understandable but there is a fairly lacking commentary from him or other reviewers on the game's few good points - due in large part to the lack of a community for playing multiplayer during the review cycle/time frame. I guess that is me defending the game...but I see it more as me not agreeing with the way people are calling it shit without having played it.I guess I'm saying the "Brink is shit" talk is somewhat equivalent (or at least reminiscent for me) to the "Demon's Souls is too hard and thus shit" talk in terms of how quickly a game can acquire a reputation based on a few opinions that are then repeated by people who have not and will never play the game regardless.

Stop fucking deluding yourself because you feel the necessity to defend a less than great game you purchased, we've all been there. Also, please stop comparing this game to Demon Souls, taking people saying the game is too hard, thus bad to heart is the equivalent to listening to anything 360 Republic yells out. Lastly, the games strengths? You shoot dudes in the face, WOOOOAH. When the game isn't suffering from connection issues you have the joy of doing shitty team objectives where everyone goes to that specified class due to there being no weapon restrictions on any of them. "

Nah...he should review the PS3 version though. 

Either way his opinion is colored by the console version.

what is with everyone defending this game?  Who cares?

" Jeff doesn't know how to use WASD "

The game's ultimate down fall is it is boring. K. That won't change by platform.

Move on.

Wow you really showed him a thing or two about being mature and not deluding himself. Look at you posting attacks at people who like a game. IT'S A FUCKING GAME SO WHAT IF HE LIKES PLAYING IT. You don't need to come on these forums and troll like a little bitch about a game you don't even play.

No. Because when you get down to it: Who really cares anymore? Brink isn't worth it. The entire internet agrees.If you like it, good. But move on with your life already.

No let's move on, the sooner Brink is put to back of everyone's mind the better.

I think Jeff's played enough Brink.

I don't think it matters. Jeff doesn't like Brink. Other people like it.
