You have issues stemming from 20 minutes playing a game you 'borrowed'. In other words, you're talking out of the wrong end. No-one anywhere would call that grounds for a legitimate REVIEW of a game when you've barely got past the tutorial, now stop acting like you've expressed an opinion and not spewed a load of bs.

You've not said anything in this thread or expressed even the slightest interest in the game before you denounced it as terrible.

First impressions and all that and it's not just me go check the games forum out on steam. And 20 minutes is enough to judge IQ, game controls, if it was enjoyable I would have stuck with it but alas this was not so. The 30 fps cap killed it for me, makes the game look and play like you're treading through deep water, hardly spewing BS when they are called hard facts. I may revisit it if they sort out the problems with a patch.
 
Up to level 8 myself and I believe Raven has a point, this game is boring and can't see playing against humans saving it. If anything playing with real people could be more frustrating. The only way I can see this possibly being good, would be with regular clan mates. The level of coercion needed is not going to be there among your average gamer and therefore frustration ensues.
Not totally disappointed I pre-ordered this, though can't see me playing it for long at all after release.

One observation, shooting down sights or from the hip seems to make no difference to accuracy most of the time.

In ETQW we used commands to change the fixed tick rate.

you could try typing com_fixedtic 0 or r_swapinterval 1 which if I remember correctly turns vsync on at 60fps.

Your FPS was only capped in ETQW if you hosted a server because of the tickrate try connecting to a dedi server you will see your framerate rise.

You really can't judge a multiplayer game by playing against bots.

I really hope this is the case. I want Brink to be fast and twitchy!


After reading a few reviews and watching streamed play the only thing that's worrying me is the 30fps cap - has this been confirmed by anyone?
 
When playing on a dedicated server vsync caps FPS @ 60

using the command r_swapinterval 0 will disable vsync

this is all in ETQW ofc :P

Or with them, yeah you are kind of right; though there is something distinctly lacking. Maybe it will come alive with human opponents, I really can't see gamers habits changing overnight though.
The gunfights just feel so uninspiring, again maybe the 30fps cap could be doing something there.
I can't quite put my finger on it, though level 9 and it all seems very dull and I long for a good old game of TF2.
Hope you are right.
 
can you please post a screenshot showing your getting 30 FPS?

you can use com_showfps 1 in the console to get this to show.

Supposedly you can't, but i just sent them an email back explaining that their ToS is in conflict with the Distance Selling Regulations 2000. Stating that I get a 7 day cool off period in which I can get a full refund (unless it's software for which I've used the key - i havn't) So we'll see where that gets me.
 
Right just been in game taking screen shots with the FPS counter showing, just for you Craig. :p Blummin too big for imageshack so....
Anyway, the game is capped at between 29-45 fps, that was all high settings; lowered all settings to medium and still exactly the same 29-45.

*Edit.
