Okay. Hear me out here. Brink, the game that was overhyped and didn't meet any expectations that were set for it, is a good game and here is why:

The game has one of the best movement systems of any game. Even Titanfall tried to do free-running but didn't even get close to how well Brink controls.

The game has a bunch of "classes" but really we know that it's just the main player switched between options. Brink had an odd PvE experience that no one expected. The AI is funny at times and always seems to not know what to do but that often made the game fun.

Brink showed us how good game design doesn't merit a $60 price tag. I know for sure that if Brink was released as a $15 downloadable game it would have been one of the best games 2011. The game was a flop because of its price tag and I know that it would have done better had it been cheaper.

Brink was a great game but because of it flopping it lost support very fast and very few patches were released to fix the issues. Take a look at recent releases and tell me that their Day-1 states are perfect, because they aren't. Brink was a marketing disaster that led to irritated fans and I wish they didn't do that. I was hyped for the game but when I saw what it was really like I was irked. The game overall had the potential but the price and expectations of the community led to its demise.
