Yes, but... The way you get directed to objectives is horrible, it is like the arrow from crazy taxi but instead tells you the exact route, is very confusing, may sound minor but trust me that is the kinda thing that annoys very quickly. It ticks other boxes for me though, high mobility, 'full body realism' (hard to describe, you either know what i mean or don't), cool animation, unique visuals and apparently ace sound effects...

Hell ya dude! i cannot freaking wait. I've been waiting since basically the first week they showed the trailer. People won't see me for like 3 days while i'm playing this.

**Melissia**

Meh, all that character customization and no female characters.

Dunno if I'd pick it over, say, Global Agenda.

**Brother Heinrich**

really? there's no female characters? I find that surprising and rather dissapointing, I figured that with the amount of customization, female characters would be an obvious addition.

**VermGho5t**

Global Agenda is gak. Really don't like the look of this game, stupid parkour and combat, whatever. Bad Company 2 expansion looks a hell of a lot more fun than this.

**Brother Heinrich**

you speak of the Vietnam one?

I like it. It's not perfect, but it's still the best multiplayer 3ps I've played.

Certainly hella better than APB or Crimecraft. Ugh.

**Brother Heinrich**

wait how have you played Brink already?

**Melissia**

Did I say I have?

**Brother Heinrich**

I think so, maybe i misread you above post

Read it again then. I was talking about Global Agenda, not Brink, heh.

**VermGho5t**

I had a better experience with Planetside, albeit my fondest memories are of during beta and shortly after release.

Dice is supposed to be releasing a 4 map pack update for bad company soon, and Vietnam is "supposedly" Q4, so i'm looking forward to both.

I didn't like Global Agenda for the fact that in pvp the matches weren't in a level range, so you'd be on a team mixed/unbalanced with all levels and unlocks.

I am very sorry you played APB though.

**Melissia**

Yeah, that does sound like a bad issue for anyone who hasn't reached the level cap.

I suppose I should keep leveling up, the game is good thus far.

As someone who has, it is probably best described as Oni and Mirrors Edge had a baby.
The guide arrow can be turned off but there's alot of people that get lost with the level design without it.

**Tyyr**

Brink? What's that?

So to answer the OP, no, not really.

**VermGho5t**

I will give GA is fun on co-op play, those bosses are challenging the higher you get.

Yuck.

Oni was just kinda meh...

I liked it,

Oni was great once you get past the fact that the game went from playable beta, to throwing all of the voices/unfinished levels in and releasing it in about 3 months when bungie was going through an aquisition in order to get the IP out the door.
It makes me sad that Oni (and shogo) will never really get sequals, they were great, just rushed out.

**Melissia**

True, it wasn't necessarily bad. If it was completed it would have been great. I suppose I never considered that it was basically a beta release rather than a full release.

**Slarg232**

Brink sounds fun, and I'll probably pick it up later, but too much is starting to come out (as always), so it's definately going to have to wait.

F.E.A.R. 3 and Deadspace 2 are going to be having all my time as soon as they come out.
