30-40 fps on lowest settings with DLSS is unacceptable. Capcom better put the earnings into performance optimizations.

Cool game. I had a lot of fun playing it so far.
It's Early Access and needs a lot of refining. I'm confident the devs can turn it into a gem over some time. Right now I can only recommend the 20$ pack. If you reaaaaaally are certain you like the game, you could also go for higher editions but I'd wait on that. Here are some negatives that you may consider before buying:
- Unoptimized performance (I run on all low and get 120 fps with like 80-90% GPU usage on a 2070).
- Low drop rates for the best items. It's gonna take a long time to max your build if you're into that.
- No entirely hard mechanics to learn or end game content to grind for - yet. It's planned in the future, see the roadmap for that.
- A mild uncertainty to the future of the game - I'm sure a developer will pick it up and support AS after DE quit.

We have the devs word that these points are what is being worked on - slowly but surely. If these points are fixed or not an issue to you there's nothing stopping you from buying the game and joining in on the fun.

My favourite game. I have now found the cheese, the fast killtimes (slown down by serverside kill reg requiring you to run from enemies you already killed to survive) and the complex but good movement tricks I was missing and can fully enjoy the game. Clientside may feel unfair sometimes but if you imagine the other guy hitting you on his screen you may be able to cope with your seemingly unfair death.
With a more active and bigger competetive community like v1 had, this game would be even more fun.
With the unannounced addition of serverside kill registration you will have to run from people you killed, similar to v1, as they may kill you back in the short duration of survival serverside kill registration provides them. The games' current meta is mainly focussed around one shot and high damage weapons. More weapon additions may diversify the current meta.

It's fun! Although the movement tricks mostly arent as hard as in v1 (the older version before the rewrite) and the game can feel slow pace and passive sometimes I seriously suggest giving it a try.

I have found some movement tricks in v2 and actually enjoy playing it. The only things you need to learn is game sense and pressing w at the right time (bunny hopping). Which means after you learned the fundamentals you wont need to play often to be good.

Less than 2000 hours:
Unheimlich viel Waffen mit zugehörigen Taktiken.
Ein Spiel mit wenig Grafik aber viel potential.
Manche Waffen sind besser als andere, aber die beste Waffe ist die mit der man selbst am besten ist.

Early on:
I'm not sure what to say about the rewrite, give it a try I guess. I don't enjoy it because I'm missing all the cheese, fast killtimes and movement tricks that need exact timing.

Ein sehr schnelles Spiel was viel Können braucht.
Man muss viel lernen und das Spiel verstehen bevor man spielen kann.
Besonders beeindruckend ist die vielfältigkeit der Waffen in dem Spiel und die verschiedenen Taktiken die manche Spieler anwenden.
Sehr wichtig bei diesem Spiel ist das Gehör und der Verstand, da man die Spieler nicht sofort sieht.
Außerdem muss man darauf achten, nicht gesehen zu werden, also zu wissen wann man gesehen und nicht gesehen wird.
Das was ich jedoch nicht and dem Spiel mag sind die high level Spieler die auf die low level Server gehen nur um farmen und Spaß zu haben.
Ich hoffe daran wird bald etwas geändert!
Brain / Out hat sehr viel Potenzial und ich hoffe, dass die Entwickler es ausschöpfen!
