If it makes you feel better Bandit, my buddy doesn't crash on start up but it crashes as soon as he tries to connect to multiplayer. It's okay. There there.

The review that IGN gave, was it a 6.something? Single player is deserving of that, but co-op and online is far better - a solid 7/8 (sans lag).
I think this is the reason I feel pretty mneh about Brink at the moment. Single player isn't all that great, but I bought it for the multiplayer. Unfortunately almost every game I've tried online has been laggy as hell, which is spoiling it at the moment.
Seamlessly blends single-player, multi-player, and co-op my fundament. Plus, it seems suspiciously like Brink's installation has somehow ganked my computer's ability to play any other online co-op game. I cannot find a reason for it, but suddenly I had problems just after the game was installed.
Sulk.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.
I don't really take Yhatzee seriously as a game critic. He is funny and i like watching his reviews but they aren't balanced and only provide an in-depth (and humorous) view of the bad points with only a little bit given to the good points.

For a more comprehensive look at Brink, I'd check out TotalBiscuit's review:
He does a great job of covering almost every point for people who haven't played the game, though the review is almost an hour long. Most importantly, he 'gets it', which a lot of reviewers didn't.

I wouldn't go that far Corpsesarefun. There really are a lot of people who went into playing Brink thinking it would be another Call of Duty or Medal of Honor.
