Dude, I work in games. The most common of all review embargoes is release day. Brink, as a matter of fact, is up at 12:01 AM PST on Monday night (technically Tuesday morning, ship day).
The only times games don't have review embargoes is if the publisher is really pushing for publicity pre-launch or if there's a deal arranged where the score is good and the publisher allows you to post it early.

The sound in this game is amazing!
not to mention that it doesnt mean anything in spanish
gettin tired of the old "NO PROBLEMO" badly spoken spanish stuff. Doesnt help at all. Why not just get it right ?
"Muchos bad guys spotted"
that S changes the whole thing into a meaningful half spanish/half english phrase.
Is it that hard ? really ?

I don't think the intent was to actually use real spanish or imply the character is of spanish descent, but for the character/voice actor to use a common cliche.

Well some people will like it, and to be honest I like the voice acting and the lines the voice actors have spoken from what I've heard. It's not often I heard Jamaican sounding guy in a videogame.
Sure it won't be for everyone, but you can always just load up your own music on an ipod or whatever.
Nocebo said:This guy definitely makes the game look like a ton of fun to play! And the medic abilities look so overpowered, but maybe that's just me.
The other streams were kind of a downer but this one raised my hype levels to max once more.
Yeah, the buffs look awesome but imagine playing against human players who actually use the other buffs, turrets, use the SMART system correctly and organise with their team. Team will be trying to pick off those poor Medics.

Playing with no bots and having two teams working together is gonna be a blast!

The thing that drives me crazy about the voices is that EVERY SINGLE LINE of the Resistance includes the word 'brothers'. Once you notice it you can't forget it.
"Let's go, brothers!"
"Brothers, I'm taking the supply command post!"
"Fifteen minutes left, brothers! Push forward!"
"We cannot let them disarm the HE charge, brothers!"
Haha, but the Jamaican voices are awesome.

Gah, finally pre-ordered this yesterday on D2D. My last major online FPS experience was the original Unreal Tournament (I played some Halo later, but not a whole lot), so this should be good. I have TF2 from the Orange Box but never really got into it, since I'm still mainly a SP player.
I hope this turns out to be good, it looks promising so far.

Yep. Who the hell is buying this to play with bots anyway? Online all the way, even with complete strangers! Fun times ahead!

No it isn't.-htownplaya- said:
Thing is though, the fact that all classes use the same weapons and classes have (largely) the same stats is what I love about ET/QW, you still have all the class abilities and perks which is a big deal but you can still hold your ground against anyone and you're not forced to play a certain way (avoid bad match-ups/pathways) because you chose the medic or whatever. You're free to play the game the way you want to play it, even more so in Brink with all the perks, weapon stuff and body types.
Danne-Danger said:
Agreed.
One of the things I dislike about many class based games is that the Medic usually has really poor defences when someone rushes them. Yes they have healing ability but developers usually make them really poor in actual fire-fights. Letting all Brink players have the same weapons actually means Medics stand a chance in some of these toe-to-toe fights.

I actually saw this before I went to sleep. The player here is actually from MLG. The bad news is that he says this is the last video he'll be able to put out for a while. And yeah, he said most of the random jumping around was because it was his first time with a Light character, and he was testing it.

I've played it about 4 hours now and the team/classed based stuff is all there and is fun but man I'm disappointed in how the game looks (360). Tons of pop-in and every single edge in the game is rough. Overall the graphics are very blurry IMO. I know there is a patch coming on day one but I don't see how it can clear up all the issues.
The bots in the single player missions are nothing more than targets that practically stand still waiting for you to kill them so I'm hoping that online play with folks that use each class correctly will make things better.

Almost the sound alone has been enough to make me re-think my decision to wait to buy this game.
I'm not back into the realm of possibly going to buy at launch (or just after) rather than waiting to buy it down the line.
The fire fights off in the distance sound amazing.
The game also looks really fun to play if you're a 'run and gun' type of FPS player (which I am).
The only thing that is turning me off a little bit at the moment is the sheer amount of games that I've purchased in the last month or so (and the games that I've already paid for in the remainder of this year).
But if the game is good, then the game is good and if I feel I'll enjoy playing it then there will be no holding back
Plus... it might help bridge the time to LA Noire and Witcher 2

This game will definitely have a strong community behind it. It feels a lot like how Bad Company 2 played out, and I can see the same results here for Brink.
I actually think once pro gamers get their hands on Brink that it could escalate into being a really big esport scene game similar to Halo or Counterstrike.
I've had incredible feelings about this game for so long now, and I know it will live up to the hype thanks to these early streams to help validate my excitement. Even without the day one patch the games have been running smoothly from what I've seen.
This game will be a blast and even more so when it's super fresh, because there's so many possibilities right out the gate before players find the bread and butter for each class.
You've got nothing to lose since you can always go to the b/s/t thread here on Gaf and make back like 40 bucks if in the first week you find out it isn't for you.

What one vid would you guys recommend to sell this game to someone? I have a few friends on the fence and I'd like to be able to send them one vid to get an idea of all the features.
I saw one on reddit where some guy stitched together a bunch of YT clips and gave some commentary over those, it was pretty good but I can't find it again.
