I played the finals beta

And all I can say is… I haven’t smiled so much in an fps game since OW1 in 2017. This game is going to be HUGE! Fully destructible environments server side, plenty of guns, items, and abilities to pick from on the 3 classes light, medium, and heavy. For people looking to get away from overwatch I think this will make many of you very very happy. It’s wild and crazy epic fun like early overwatch was. I am laughing in every game I play cause the craziest things happen lol I love this game so much. Good luck overwatch. You’re a shell of your former self with stubborn devs that love to make terrible decisions and ignore community feedback.

This game looks more like Valorant than Overwatch.

The finals has got to be the furthest thing from valorant wtf it’s not even remotely similar. Valorant is slow af tac shooter, the finals is high mobility class shooter like a mix between overwatch, team fortress and battlefield. It’s very unique and the game mode is something completely new.

If only its art style looked less generic.

The destructible environment and more goofy mechanics it has look like a lot of fun though.

It’s a very bad game. Forced RT sucks, the hitreg and netcode is really, really terrible, and that visual recoil! OMG dude! :DDDDDDDD You just can’t see anything when shooting. The sight, the gun, the screen, everythings shaking like crazy, even on full low graphics, you can’t turn these off, plus add the silly post-processing effects and smokes from the gun. You’re basically shooting blinded. All. The. Times. It’s dead on arrival. Maybe will live 1-2 weeks and after some months, they’ll shut down the servers. So don’t buy skins or anything, or you’ll drop your money out of the window.

XDefiant on the other hand has great potential with the awesome movement and gunplay. Hopefully they don’t mess it up with stupid ideas like OW, COD or Dice devs.

I think the art is great. One of my favorite things about the game is the cosmetics. The character creator right now is garbage, but the clothing and cosmetics are epic. I made my character look like an 80s break dancer with zebra pattern shorts a leather jacket and a boombox tied to his waist lol.

It’s always nice to look through rose coloured glasses at things other than OW. Why compared games at all? Just have fun without trying to look for an OW substitute.

Seems like you’re complaining about beta 1. This is beta 2 and they’ve fixed all that up. I’ve not noticed bad hit reg at all. I notice it often in Apex legends. Visual clutter has been cleaned up a good amount. I mean you have to consider it’s battlefield devs which have always put muzzle flash and other visual clutter in their games…it’s really just part of the game and kind of the purpose of using certain items. The muzzle flash isn’t bad at all anymore. I can see better in this game than I can in overwatch with moira and ram ulting.

LMAO this comment won’t age well. I’ll bookmark it and be sure to come back when xdefiant is shut down and The Finals is thriving. Xdefiant is ubisoft dude…garbage devs. The finals devs have never released an fps that wasn’t wildly successful.

There is more turning me off to the game than wanting to play it.

More FPS need to do scifi or older style guns to feel unique. I’m honestly rather tired of everything looking like the same guns rehashed every single time.

Magnum.
P90
M16
Carbine
AK47
RPD
MP5

The list goes on. These are all the same guns that have been used for the like last 20 yrs or something. Surprisingly, S76 gun is probably more akin to an AK47/Carbine, but it doesn’t feel like it at all due to it sound and look.

Ubisoft made Rainbow Six Siege which is still a very populated game, still having tournaments, still getting tons of updates, dude. Embark are EA/Dice devs? Bro… :smiley: Most of their games are dead, or abandoned, and all of them have loooots of cheaters. The Finals already have no recoil macro, you can find it on Youtube.

I don’t know why people still use generic military look for fps when all recent success has been cartoonist or surrealistic like fortnite overwatch 1 ,apex, val

I learned to ignore people first impressions
Dont want to be rude to you, that include my own first impresions of the games from betas, i was excited for Anthem after all… my last payed beta and pre order, never to really hype up for any new game with uncertian future anymore.

Does The Finals have respawns? I burnt out on elimination type formats a decade or so ago with CS. The Battle Royale craze has been pretty unfortunate for me personally.

Cartoonist too is a much lower development cycle as well as you use a style to sell a game rather than amazing graphics. You can keep the development time down when you can ignore uncanny valley.

Yes it has respawns. You can get rezed by team mates or use a coin to repawn if your team has the money thing or wait for timer. I agree though the BR craze has ruined the fps genre. I love apex for it’s mechanics but I just cannot get into BR. If you like high mobility you will have a lot of fun in the finals. It seems to have advanced movement tech too. I had a team mate today jump out a window, wall jump over to a tunnel bridge, break the window and got on the bridge it was nuts. I followed him out the window and just died like how tf you do that!? lol

is that the game by former Battlefield devs and you’re heisting or something??

I remember seeing some previews of that not long ago and it looked pretty fun, especially the cloud-based destruction

Sweet, I’ll probably check it out at some point then. Fun movement tech is the icing on the cake.

You can sign up for the beta on steam. I think their target release is towards the end of the year so there should be a few more betas till then.

My only issue with The Finals is that I feel the maps are too large for the amount of players in a match.

Otherwise I enjoyed it(Played the first beta)

If you like the art I can point you to about 100 other games with exactly the same “realistic” art style. Its painfully generic looking and seems like to lack an it.

The game seemed to lack “it”. It is hard to say what it is but you know it when you see it. Splitegate was a game that had it for example and you knew it very early on. It is hard to say what it was but you knew it would explode and 6 months later the game got so big they had to basically stop development to make a sequel because they could not handle the size of the game.
