The Finals (PC) is a free to play competitive FPS that tries something different. How is it? Let's talk. Subscribe for more: www.youtube.co... #thefinals
I don’t mind micro-transactions at all in a free game where nothing you buy gives you a competitive edge. It’s just cosmetic, and I genuinely hope the developers make bank off this game so they can continue to be motivated to support it!
I wish games were more like fortnite in that sense. Fortnite doesn't have classes (except stw) but if it did, it's nice seeing a cool skin instead of one that matches your class. Not everyone can tell what class someone is when they see them. I regognize classes by abilities.
I hate the microtransactions because they're at a ridiculous price; $17 for a single outfit is mad. They're only cosmetics so its not directly harming the game but its awful that due to insane corporate greed I can't buy a cool skin for my character, which I want to do because this game is great, because they refuse to market things at remotely reasonable rates.
@@rattlesnake551true but at the end of the day you don’t have to buy them, and id say the developers deserve the money, although i personally won’t indluge.
@@rattlesnake551 I don’t disagree, but with such a polished free game that I spent 200+ hours playing so far I don’t mind giving the devs $10 bucks here or there
I really REALLY hope this game doesn’t die off soon. It’s like a breath of fresh air for the gaming community! It feels so different yet similar to the games we know and love! Edit: Thanks for all the likes 😊
The destruction makes it feel likes there's alot more than 4 maps. Each game you can have cover that was never there before, but now some debris has fallen a certain way that creates cover or ways to out manoeuvre your enemy.
I was at my friends place showing him The Finals, in the training room we discovered *you can break walls with the baton.* (It just takes like 40 hits.) 🤯
I jumped into The Finals while waiting for friends to get online for CS2, now... all of us play The Finals as well, the game is HIGHLY addictive, mainly because its so damn fun! No matter if you get walked all over, matches are fast so you can just jump right in again... and it just plays so damn well. Highly recommend it
THE FINALS is a game that has made me realize what pure fun is in a multiplayer game in a very long time. It is nothing like Apex or Fornite and it is unfair the way that some people compare and complain about the game not being like Apex. There's also the fact that some people are review bombing this game on steam because the movement has changed, but in reality nothing has changed at all and its just sad as this game has MASSIVE potential to be part of eSports as I've seen the most insane moments in this game
Reviews have started stabilizing, although with how many people are experiencing hackers in ranked that may change if the devs don't do anything about it
I understand that people do have problems and crashes with the game and that there is cheaters, those are legit reviews, but 70% of the negative reviews, when THE FINALS came out was just bad reviews about the movement being nerfed and that really hurt the steam reviews so much that is why it was so low. @@sambradshaw5574
They'll come around if theyre not little bitches lol. This game rocks. Just the banning issue is annoying. I only quit a tourney once and got a ban for 10min. Understandable but after losing in the first round the same night, I spammed B to skip the end result screen etc and when I got to the lobby I had gotten a 25 min ban for no reason whatsoever.
@@sambradshaw5574the score is going up a little bit… but unfortunately the negative reviews just keep coming in for some reason. I truly don’t know what’s happening. I’m starting to think it’s just people having a single issue and then leaving a negative review. we’ve forgotten how holistic reviews work
The Finals captured the Esports aesthetic very nicely with the in-game announcers and visual design - definitely stands out from the rest of the Esports shooters.
Yeah!! The announcers are actually really cool to listen to and are not annoying. Plus it helps the players to keep track of the match at certain times
This, this Is what I hate about this game, all the pandering towards E-sports feel so corporate and wrong... the art feels generic asf and the announcer and locations feels like something only U.S people would enjoy. Apex and Fortnite may have a shittier game mode but at least those games feel unique and with personality. The finals just feels generic.
@@nappasghost4490 If the game looks like this through every season I would agree with you. Right now it's too early to say, but it looks more like they are going off a generic look simply because it's easier to get the game off and running without catering to any specific demographics. They just want to get the game playing good and care less about the aesthetic hence the generic boring look. Overtime there will be more season with themes that might fit your likings more, and other ones that may not be for you, but others will enjoy. That's generally how F2P games go.
will say this the most fun i had in an online games since the first debut of apex in 2019. This game is so fun. The mechanics are so good i never questioned how i died, it has a bright future
Loving this game, it actually feels like the first game in a while that benefits with having a team fulfilling different roles. So many games promote a team-mechanic of some degree that ends up kinda follow, but with this game if you try and solo it you’ll be wrecked by a team who has any sense of cohesion
We cant let this game die. This game is a breath of fresh air. A new shooter with a unique spin on everything. Original game modes, no battle royale bs, class based but fully interchangeable kits, and the tournament mode really makes you feel like youre in a vitual game show. 10/10 ign it has a little something for everyone.
I don’t get that, that feeling for a pvp game, where is the same shit over and over again, but whatever, like people’s tastes there are colors I guess.
I love Gameranx reviews so much I even watch for games I won’t be playing. I love learning about games, and also love a success story. Sounds like players are having a blast with this one, love to see it.
This game is really what the FPS scene needed. It innovated in ways we thought were too far into the future and is more optimized than most AAA games coming out these days.
@@josepierret4068 XDefiant was pretty awesome and I can’t wait for it, but The Finals is a much more creative and fun game. XDefiant is just COD but fun again. I expect both to be among my most played games in 2024 though.
something about the cosmetics and microtransactions is that the pass in self-renewable and the cosmetics are actually kinda smartly put, the outfits arent just limited to a single thing and the throwing knives being cards is what sold it to me.
@@RJ_Cue Whether or not people like cosmetics has no bearing on the quality of the game. The game is fucking awesome. It’s Free To Play, there are going to be micro transactions. It’s almost 2024, why are you still crying about this?
I hope it grows and grows. Cool see it being on top on the MP gaming world. Definitely needs more modes and maps, but it sounds like the devs are just waiting to release things. I know it’s not the popular opinion but a more casual mode like tdm would probably help get more players on the game. At least as a limited time mode. Wish the prices in the store were a little lower, but it’s just the average price as every other game now. On consoles it’s pretty fluid and usually no issues. Game is super addicting though, one of the few games I’m always itching to play.
I love the fact that this game allows you to destroy buildings to your advantage and encourages you to think . I’m absolutely loving the game so far and hope it doesn’t die off
Been playing it religiously since it came to xbox, makes me feel like a kid playing battlefield 3 for the first time but with so much more movement and customization and insane vertical map design. Once they add in more weapons and gadgets to widen the sandbox, I think they'll have made the perfect MP shooter. It's seriously impressive, especially in a culture of half baked launches.
This is the first game I've ever bought a microtransaction from - and i played overwatch since 2017 lol. I love this game and i see a big future for it.
Started playing The Finals yesterday with my friends and I gotta say it's so much fun!! It's intense, satisfying and definitely puts your gaming skills and reflexes to the test. I hope this game make bigger and bigger waves in the future.
I find the destruction awesome, there are neat features you wouldnt expect like fully working elevators which allow you to chose between floors. The player physics are a little janked but god damn is this game fun and enjoyable, which is rare these days, i cant help but praise this amazing this game is
This being a smaller team dev they said they sorta are looking at the MT purchases like the BP and skin sales to determine how hard they can commit to updates and expanding the title. So if you guys really enjoy The Finals drop these guys $10 - $15 bucks help keep this quality team in the works.
The finals can be described as this, a collaboration of battlefield and call of duty themed in a retro style game show, but I’ve had the time of my life playing it, definitely a breath of fresh air in an fps
Do you still play the finals? Ever tried a competitive run like reaching a certain rank since you're one of the early players to achieve a high rank the longer the seasons the harder it is to achieve those ranks
Love the game. Biggest thing that needs to be added is some more game modes that have 4v4 or 5v5 domination, payload, KOTH, CTF, etc. they basic mode is fun but I can see it getting old very fast and if they run solely as super competitive it will die off versus other comp shooter.
This game was such a pleasant surprise. It’s so much fun. Bank it is my favorite mode. The different weather and time of day for the maps is an awesome touch too.
not to mention multple varrations of the map. that go further. The skyscraper level has a version with moveing platforms. which change things completely. the vegas one has 3 varrations. Normal. Nighttime:where security systems are in play and the boxs are protected by lasers and turrets, and Sandstorm: Where the entire map is allready destroyed by the desert and its more of an open sky map.
I just downloaded the game today because of a mate telling me about it. The first few games I had I said to him it plays like battlefield and the original warzone crossed with a bit of siege and now I’m finding out that it’s made by former dice developers🤣 easily the most fun game I’ve played in a long time. Even though there’s only a few maps every game feels and plays differently because of the destructible environment. 11/10 game imho
One of the best parts of the game to me is that your best laid plans often mean nothing. There are so many tools available that you never really know whats going to happen next.
It's one of these games, where you enjoy it at first and then people start using strats, metas, game becomes more complicated and competitive... in the end it just becomes another Apex / CoD or something like that
@@rismarck I wouldn't go that far. Though yes, eventually there will probably be a boring meta. They can update the game though. Either way, it's fun right now.
This will happen to each game nowadays. That's why you should go in and play it right now before sweaty people would figure it out and destroy all the fun
Another thing that makes the maps feel constantly different is the deposit points. there are always two, and they can appear anywhere on the map. So, taking or defending a deposit always feels different.
I haven't played a multiplayer shooter in over a year as I've been so jaded and tired of the current norm. This makes me want to jump back onto multiplayer and that says ALOT.
I would recommend to anyone playing this game that doesn’t take it to seriously to try playing casual light class, don’t play the meta. play the fun weapons or abilities like cloak and dagger, I would recommend that if ur in a pub lobby it works very well as long as you are working with your team so that they distract the enemy team enough for you to get behind them. It’s very fun to play!
I'm genuinely happy my friends downloaded this game. I wanted to do it but didn't have anyone to play with until a couple buddies got it. It's an absolute gem and joy to play.
My biggest problem is that some weapons aren't viable. I don't want everything to be viable, but it feels like there are only about 10/20 weapons that can be used and get good results.
People are giving this game so much praise, I played it and thought it looks and plays like so many other games that I’m pretty sure I won’t bother to ever play it again
LMAO I was wondering what was taking you so long to mention red faction. I didnt get a chance to play it but I know its mentioned the most in these videos for those destruction qualities. I think thats the thing thats a real game changer for me. One time I was with my team during a cash out thinking..... yeah weve got it all covered. All the doors are covered... all the windows are covered and then BOOM. The whole damn atm just falls into the floor lol. Its like a bank heist in a cartoon but I wasnt ready for that. Lots of fun with this one. Ive been playing it on the ROG ally which is a gem on its own.
I added it to my library but I was expecting a review of some sorts to see if I would really play the game and Falcon here has sold it to me perfectly. I'm not really into FPS but this one seems fun and everyone is learning the game, so it's good to jump into it now.
Love this game. I’ve been playing COD Warzone and was so tired of the BS, I went back to fortnite. Tried Warzone 3 again and it just didn’t feel fun. Played the finals for a couple of hours and was instantly hooked!
Light is my favorite class but people really have no idea how to play it. They see light and think apex movement but the game is way too team based for that. Avoid ranked if ur solo. Nothing more infuriating than queuing and running medium bc ur two randoms autolocked light and they just w key and die
thing to notice about finals battlepass, you get 1575 coins from a complete battlepass and they cost 1150, so you have 425 extra each season to get non-battlepass cosmetics.
I haven't downloaded yet but I plan to. I must have played a good 10-20 hours of the Beta and I loved it. I didn't hate solo queue but had much more fun and success with friends.
With the rocket launcher glitch where the gun appears to be floating out of your hand I had that problem too just once in the training mode, and fairly rarely but every now and then I can't turn my camera unless I press a certain button first, seems to happen right after respawn but once again pretty rare. Amazing game and I barely play shooters.
This is a nexon game btw. So if the microtransactions get really scummy and it seems like the devs are running the game into the ground dont worry, its just nexon doing what they do best.
This game looks really interesting. And a great breath of fresh air compared to what is around right now I feel. Speaking of Red Faction maaaaaan I miss that game and destruction. Definitely need some people to make a new one or a game like it that is single-player and not an MP Shooter.
My new (refurbished) rig just arrived a couple days ago. So, I’m going to jump in. But, I just got RDR2, for the first time (before now, only had a Switch & iMac. I’m a Graphic Designer, & about to get back to content creation soon. Anyway…) The game reminds me of some combination of Overwatch & Apex Legends. May just be me. lol!
Please if you have lights on your team running around just follow them and trail a bit behind its usually not even a 1v1 for the light and if youre behind me to shoot them while im distracting i can do my job and if it is a 1v1 well now its a 2v1 and we can get free picks before we even start fighting, its a team game i always hover around my team im hardly ever elbow to elbow but im always close enough to shoot whoever youre shooting at, you cant play the game the same way with lights on your team because youre going for different macro interactions light class hp is so little you get melted in straight up fights so you have to find angles and high/lowground i cant just bunker down i will die i have to go in and out, also this one is for the lights use your c4 to clear walls too i see everyone use it to drop stuff but never to open up angles, be creative people cmon
Good thing is, when purchasing the cheap battlepass, you have enough bucks returned to you for either the next battlepass or to spend on something else 'thats up to you" but i like it that they return the bucks you spend on the pass
Increase the respawn time and add more game modes and I'd be all in. Playing with friends is great. Playing solo with a random team is not so much. I'd be more interested if they had a straight TDM so I don't have to rely so much on team mates. Respawning could also be quicker. Tried it for about 4 hours total then shelved it.
Even tough it took me a while to get my shit together in this game, I ended up enjoying it a lot. I played with strangers, but I think playing with your friends should be even funnier!
I have a bad time playing this, and i cant stop playing, its still very fun. just a few things i really dislike, like getting beamed with an AK from 40 meters and I cant hit anything with all that recoil from that distance lol I also find it difficult to actually get kills sometimes, feels like everyone has more health or defense, meanwhile i can get melted. Will still play, and look forward to seeing how it develops.
The game is super fun. If they can do some balancing around the obviously op stuff, which i wont mention coz i dont wanna spark an argument, it has a very long life. And Nexon being one of the publisher is scary.
This game really has the potential to stand with heavy hitters that still linger if they continue adding content . the mechanics and gameplay are unique and good enough to stay with active players until then . Under rated rn tho
