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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
