Brink... Sigh. I remember that trailer coming out and I watched it like every day for years waiting for it to come. I watched every dev vlog, read every update. For years I was hyped on that. At time of release my buddy and I took the week off of work. We played it for like 3 hours one night and finished it. I remember thinking "there must be a mistake. This can't be it. This isn't the game I've been dreaming about." I never booted it up again after that first night.
Brink was my CP2077.
It's a shame, because if someone licensed the IP for, just spitballin' here... A Fallout/Outer Worlds style game, the bones are there for a REALLY good game.
The assets, art, backstory, it's all done, it just deserved a better developer. :(
Just in case you don't know, CP2077 is great now, and set to get better when the dlc drops soon.
I really should go back to playing CP, I already enjoyed my time with the release Version.
But I also had a great PC and managed to not hit many Bugs during my playthrough, so I understand that my experience was not a common one.
I had a similar experience. Loved it then, like it even more now.
That happened for me too. Great 2077 experience through and through on good hardware with RT+DLSS. Had a couple bugs but nothing unsolvable like a puzzle with some saving involved, and they were things like scanning one thing early stops a scan later. Which is an unintended pretty cool mechanic lol, if only we'd been told it was a mechanic at the time.
Game got even crazier looking in recent updates and with better hardware, but I 100%ed it early and I haven't done another playthrough since so I've been at the endgame through all the updates lol
I actually played through it last month and it blew me away. I cannot wait to do a second play through when phantom liberty comes out! It was so so good.
I ran a gaming store at the time, with rentals. I remember when brink came out and I had the exact same experience when I took it home to try. At least I had no anticipation and didn't pay anything for it.
