So I bought this yesterday..

It's actually kinda complicated, I think it's going to take me a while to get used to..

Graphics are alright, and I like the character customisation.

I think this game is going to be much better once a couple of my friends get it, because the AI is god-damned retarded.

The second mission, you have to protect this guy.. so obvious answer, be a medic so you can revive him. However, for some reason I was THE ONLY medic on my whole team, which meant having to run 150m to the guy, revive him, get killed, repeat.

Anyways, your thoughts?

Yeah I've got an ATI card and performance isn't great if I'm honest.. but turn a couple things down and it's definately playable. I'm no bar to judge by though because I have a good graphics card choked by a shitty core 2 duo :domokun:

I bought it for $79 in EB Games :)

haha ATi and shit drivers have been an issue for years. If it wasn't for their shit drivers they would be much more of a competitor to Nvidia.

Why do they have shit drivers? Brink is the first game I've encountered with issues, and that's the developers fault.

They are pretty much on par with nVidia in everything, and a little bit cheaper too in most cases.

dude their drivers have always sucked, you get one stable release then it's lottery for the next 4 or so until they get another stable one. Used to have a 4830 and run ATi in our workstations at work. If they got their shit together again I would switch back, but after spending hours f**king around with drivers just to get games to work and not CTD or hang the system, I probably won't.

I rented this, on PS3, thankfully for one night, with a $2.95 video ezy voucher. I want my $2.95 back.

-The bots are dumb and painful. They run around in groups until one guy hits the lot with a shotgun/grenade/molotov and takes out everyone including your medic/s.

-You have to do EVERYTHING yourself. No point being a medic when you need to blow something up, hack a computer etc. Spent 3/5ths of the mission time smashing through and guarding the safe (2nd mission?), only to go back to the command post, change characters and crack the damn thing myself.

-Character customization was win, yet fail to see the point when you don't look at yourself.

-"SMART" seemed cool, yet resulted in you jumping over things that you could run around more quickly.

-The entire campaign is unlocked from the start, what's the deal with the throw-away plot?

So I returned the game....

Brriiiiiink is a totally different animal on PS3/XBOX when compared to PC.

Play it on a mate's computer if you know anyone that has it and then tell us you don't like it.

It's a good clean, fast paced shooter which could almost be called a 360 degree shooter considering the amount of pathways around the place. You must be constantly watching your back/side/above and sometimes below or face peril.

no frame issues here with a 5870 on 2560x1440 but have turned the advanced shading and a few other "advanced" options off in an effort to keep it over 60fps.

Gripes with the game - all classes look the same except for a tiny icon that appears on your hud, and all these icons are the same colour, so you generally have to double take "oh was that a medic? oh.. nah, soldier. Soldiers can't revive. damn you! etc."

Getting onto a server can be a laggy experience (but less so than the p2p component) but playing against real people is night and day compared to the bots.

For anyone that finds the close quarter combat difficult, remember that melee and run 'n' slide are your bestest friends ever.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
