Brink: What do you think?

Well I've been surfing the high seas of the internets and have come across a variety of opinions of Brink. I hear on the PC it's exceptionally laggy, and the AI is stupid, but I looked at the recent patches and it looks like some of these errors are fixed. I haven't done too much surfing of the steam forums for brink. Are there folks out there that are playing it now, and if so how does it fare now that it has been patched? Would this game be worth the 50 dollar asking price?

I'm enjoying it so far, it runs great as long as you have a Nvidia card. Ati cards are having some problems but they are being worked on and can be temperaly fixed by disabling shadows. The only time I had any lag issue was the first day, after that its been all smooth. As for price, I would say wait a week or two for a couple more patches and you'll probably be able to find a good deal by then.

I like it but its something really different. Its a game were kd and stuff that matters in other fps goes out the door. The only thing that matters is getting to objective and helping you team get there

In certain cases yes, but if your whole team goes 0-10 in most games you will loose

Its a lot of fun, a nice change of pace from all the shooters being released lately. Haven't been able to play much the last couple of days but once I finish The Witcher 2 I'll probably spend a lot of time playing.

I wouldn't pay 50$, unless you won't/can't DD for some reason, just wait 'til a weekend and get it for 37$ish. But it's quite good, as much hate as it's gotten, it's not CoDish, so the reviews suck, but that's why it's good imo.

Anyway TotalBiscuit did a "wtf is..." on brink, it's quite good imo, rather than a useless review, it's more in depth and he plays the mp for a couple matches.

WTF is BRINK?

It's a bit un-optimized for ATi being that it's OpenGL, my 5850 gets about 30-60fps with everything maxed 'cept AO off.

Inconsistancy

[QUOTE="James161324"]

[QUOTE="Spellingiscool"] That's how it should be. Games like CoD where they've made it so K/D is more important than winning is just stupid. Winning and completing objectives should be the focus. Spellingiscool

I agree, but there is a place to some extent. In battlefield someone has to kill the emeny. Well other people plant
