Wait, so without a lobby system does that mean I CANNOT find other people's matches without knowing them? (360)

Dear splash damage: Locking framerate wasn't cool in Quake Wars, it's not cool now.
That discount and the fact several people were actually getting this game on my friends list. I honestly wouldn't be angry if I could play the game. From what I see it doesn't seem all that bad. Game breaking glitches are worse than optimization that can be patched in at a later time.Chanser said:

I was never interested in this game, but my friend has been hyping this game for months. He's even buying me and 3 other of his friends a copy of the game. I'm playing it only because it was free. I'm spending my money on LA Noi*gets mediocre reviews as well*

This may help fix with the blue screens. Testing now..
Edit: Nope. Still blue. What a waste.

"If we were on opposing teams and you were playing at 60fps and I was playing at 30, would you have an advantage?"
Yes, upgrade your computer or turn down your settings.
"What is it locked at? Please don't say 30."
This definitely seems like the case.

Editor's Note: This review was conducted before a day-one patch which is said to address, "sporadic visual glitches at distance, texture pop-up and some minor networking issues." We will play a few rounds with the patch applied and update the review text accordingly.

We don't get angry at games upon release, when there is a sign from the developer that issues will get fixed. But there are some worrying signs about this game already.
No single-player? That's fine, if you want a multi-player game only game, but don't misled customers into thinking is has the next revolution in single player. Also don't expect people to pay $60 or $50 for a multi-player game.
Also, what in the hell makes this game as demanding as it is when the graphics are not better than other games which look significantly better i.e. Crysis 2, The Witcher 2, etc.
As I mentioned before, the only thing that can save this game on the pc is frequent updates in the first few months to fix all the issues, and free post-release content ala Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor.

I wasn't attacking Simon Parkin. It was in response to a generalization from another poster. I don't know Simon, but I appreciate that he can write (even if my eyelids nearly rolled off the back of my skull when he said Brink was more engaging than TF2). He expresses his opinion with conviction. And I, of all people, won't shit on someone for having a different opinion.

Third attempt on the first Resistance campaign went a little better. I seemed to have a fairly decent connection and the host didn't disconnect so I was able to actually finish it.
They locked the framerate? I thought the game was just badly optomised and was running slow/poorly on my machine.

Never played QW so I can't really comment on that.
It's a shame, I'm disappointed to hear how things are going so far with Brink. I'd like to see it come together in the end through patches, or see some other studio give a similar game a shot (Mainly for the SMART system).
What? It's certainly not locked, just performs horribly for me. Super janky 12-60 fps in multiplayer, with most options turned off. I'd LIKE to turn the post-processing off, but I can't because it seems to automatically turn back on when you join a game.TheExodu5 said:
It seems interesting, and I like the music, but animations are so janky combined with the framerate and the way the players move, it's really eh so far.
Graphics are pretty ugly, I'm not a fan of the coloring in at least some of the areas, and I have no idea why the performance is so bad.
The sound...it's quiet, and then if you take any hits it immediately goes super quiet. That of course makes it really hard to tell if you're still being shot, and from where. I think it would be less jarring if there was any sort of fade, but it's literally like a loud/soft toggle, so you go deaf if anyone hits you.

I'm not mad at em, it would just be a more ideal scenario to me.Marcellus Wallace said:

Strange...is the PC version supposed to receive a day one patch too? Cant really see we're getting bad performance since this is just an improved version of the DOOM 3 engine right?
EDIT: After restarting, the game did the "installing direct X" setup, so maybe thats what was going on...
