I'm betting Rockstar will turn out one hell of a game. From what I've seen so far they are on track to deliver a perfect 10.

From what I've seen of Brink the climbing mechanic just doesn't add to the game. The trailer is good stuff but gameplay is what counts. I've seen the gameplay videos. I was not impressed.

I'm not saying it's awful just because of that, and sniping isn't really my favorite game mechanic. I'm just worried, is all. It seemed like a really awesome game at first, but everything I hear about it makes me more and more nervous. I'm gonna just stop reading about it and wait for the beta at this point.

You said:

Brink looked cool until I saw a video of it's horrendous gunplay mechanics, and read about the awful things they were doing to sniper rifles.

This read, to me, as being dismissive and interpreted as "They broke what I like, so I wont get it" considering this thread was about "What are you going to get?". So yeah, that's why.

I can see the confusion. I was trying to express displeasure at the sniper mechanics, rather than the game itself, and I've since seen other videos that looked better, so that may have been an older build I saw. Still, if it sounds like I'm being too harsh on it, it's true. I'm being overly dismissive of the game so that, if I'm right, I won't feel let down, but if I'm wrong, then I get a good game. Rather be pleasantly surprised then sadly disappointed, etc.
