Free weekend is a smart move. Will play for sure, downloading DLC now.

Well, good timing for the Brink free weekend, at least.

So, since the TF2 items are never retroactive, that would mean that if I already own the pack I would need to purchase for an item, I have no way to 'buy' the item, and would have to get it through trading/crafting? I really want that Quake rocket launcher.

I want the rocket launcher and the engie items! But I own so much of that pack already :/

The DLC wouldn't download for me, just redirected me to the homepage when I clicked Install Game on the DLC page - is it because Brink hasn't finished downloading yet?

TF2 items are always retroactive

There's never been a promotion that required you to re-buy a game you already own

I think so. It took a while for the download to start. But look into your game properties, the DLC should show up there.

I wonder if Vert will put up a server for the free weekend.

I was able to play fine on the US gaf server, so I would look forward to something like a weekend full of GAF Brink action.
 
Check out Brink's stats on Steampowered before you download the demo/free-weekend. Less than 1000 people were playing it yesterday. And the game has about as much of a singleplayer campaign as either Left 4 Dead. Yeah, you can play with bots, but do you really want to?

That is a dumb reason for not trying out a game for free.

And you think a free weekend where the game is free to everyone who has a Steam account won't increase those numbers?

I don't have a download quota so I try everything that's free.

It's not just console owners that I have heard who have said the game isn't all that.

Brink is one of the very few games on Steam I guess I actually regret purchasing (partly gameplay, partly unrelated reason). I haven't tried it since the latest update but performance was pretty horrible on an e8400 and 5850 last I checked.

The gameplay itself is okay, but if I could get people and a good server, I think I'd rather play classic Enemy Territory: Return to Castle Wolfenstein. :D
 
Wow... so... uhh... Hamilton's Great Adventure doesn't launch.... like... it doesn't even flash a screen... it doesn't even have itself running in the background.... it doesn't even pop up an error.... it doesn't fucking exist...

Glad I only lost $3.38 on that.

Thats the tough part with FPS. There are so many of them on the market that in order to be successful it has to be a big name, smooth as silk upon release with a very healthy community or it dies like THAT.

Wooo! Downloading Brink now. Hope it's as good as everyone says it is.

No. But, it's as shitty as they all say.

Are you on XP?
 
Confidence Man said:
Absolutely. The story is hard to follow so I'm not sure how much you're going to get out of that aspect, but it's a full single-player campaign. It's not an afterthought to multiplayer if that's what you're worried about. There is no competitive multiplayer in fact, just co-op where you play through the campaign.

It's not quite your typical single-player though. You don't save your progress while in a level, but your character is persistent. So for example if you quit in the middle of a mission you retain all experience and money and whatever else you gained, but you have to start the mission over when you go start up again. At any time you can go back to your HQ hub where you can buy new equipment and abilities or take on extra missions.

Thanks for the reply, I'm certainly still interested. I'm trying to get thru my backlog and buying less games, but once I'm clear it's up there with Planescape as my must buys I think.
 
Brink needs to be at some major bomba price for me to buy. A free weekend is nice though, I can at least try it out. It seems really interesting but 95% of the impressions say it sucks.

I am on Windows 7. It is working halfway now that I rebooted Steam. I say halfway because there is no sound. Awesome.

Go to your sound settings and lower it to 48000 hz at the highest. Other games have the same issue if you have it above that.

Wonderful. Amateur hour. I guess I can't complain too much getting it on the cheap.
 
i remember brink preview vids looked pretty awesome, though i never played it because of the bad reviews. i am downloading it now and will try in a few hours. if you wanna try it with me, my steam is same name on here. no mic.

hoping for fallout 3 GOTY for like $5.

At most, it will be 7.50

And I think they are going to cheap out on the individual titles and push the packs with the larger discounts.
