Anyone thinking about picking up Brink tomorrow? The concept seems great, and It is developed by Splash Damage and published by Bethesda, so I have pretty high hopes for it. There should be some reviews for it dropping soon, but I will probably just go ahead and buy it.

It does look awesome. My roommate's been lusting after it all through production, gleefully salivating over all the pre-release stuff.

I don't see what's so special about it...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Well...IGN just gave it a six. And they are pretty notorious for using the Four Point Scale, which basically means their review translate to "this is atrociously average". :S

I haven't read the review (mainly because I'm not getting the game even if they gave it 10/10 and it was the BEST GAME EVER, I'm too far behind in other games, have no interest in another frag-fest, and have too much going on at uni right now, regardless [and my holidays are accounted for with travel]), but I'd recommend checking it out if you're looking into the game (though obviously IGN is not the most objective gaming site) soon.

Unusual for modern Bethesda to forget to sweeten the deal with reviewers.

Yep, I was pretty excited about the release of Brink, but I always wait to pick up a game until reviews come out... I guess I am glad that I did. It sounds like they are going to have to patch it on day 1 for the Xbox, which is pretty awful. I will pay attention to it over the next week or so to see if the reviews change or improve. If not, I will be skipping this one... what a bummer.

I'll let you guess how the internet feels about it.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Here's a quick look of Brink:

It looks clunky and tedious.

The multiplayer videos looked pretty fun, but apparently it is just frustrating and boring.

Question:

Next tuesday has the releases of Witcher 2 and LA Noir. Which do I get first?

I see this is becoming the new "Ye Big Videogames Thread"?

@Obdi - get both. But if I were you, I'd wait for reviews, then get LA Noire unless it is crap. *shrug*

Definitely LA Noir if it is as good as it seems. I'm sure The Witcher 2 is going to be great as well, but LA Noire brings a whole new approach to game play and it has that whole "Rockstar quality" going for it.

Just pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution for £34,57 at Amazon.co.uk. Best deal I've seen on the game so far.

yes. and it's coming out same time as LA Noire, which is a console-only game. I laugh derisively in Rockstar's general direction.

Wait, wait, LA Noire is console only? Oh man, Rockstar, did Saints Row 2 being better than GTA4 in every conceivable way piss you off that much?

Today after work it's Witcher 2 time. I'll be taking this one considerably slow-ish, in the range of 7-8 hours each day max (that is, I won't be taking days off to play it). I really do hope it's as good as I'm expecting, cos I've had a resurgence of interest in Civilization V (I should really play more scenarios!)

'Slow-ish'. If only I had 8 hours a day to play games.

Have fun.
