This game Needs bigger servers. 16 person servers are too small. Other than a parkour style fluid gameplay I dont see the reason for shelling out 50 bucks. Maybe once steam runs a deal or the price drops to 20.
I played BRINK for about a week before I just didnt feel like playing anymore. The game has really great potential but it's still laggy for me. Watching youtube videos of it make it seem really smooth, but until I get a better PC I'm going to hold off from playing BRINK regularly. I still come around once in a while to try to test it out again and customize my character(which is probably 50% of why I bought BRINK). Maybe I'll play in our server when the free DLC comes around this summer.
