The Finals is the best shooter that's come out in a while. It's chaotic and a little stupid, but also just straight up fun. Assaulting the objective by just completely tearing down the building it's in is both hilarious and satisfying.
I really hope that this game does well. They have a really cool foundation and it's nice that it's a bit of a smaller developer. It's free, give it a shot!
Also... Aren't we past these clickbait article titles on Lemmy? You shouldn't need to click the comments or the article to tell what game it's talking about.
I've been getting a few matches a day in. Really enjoying it. Hopefully the player base picks up some. I seem to have a knack for liking the fpses that fail though.

This is something I specifically didn't like about a particular map in Bad Company 2 in Rush. It's definitely fun for the attackers but defending against that sucks ass.
I haven't played BC2 but I don't feel that way at all in The Finals. Defending can be kinda interesting. There are a lot of options when it comes to how and where to defend, and even in the chaotic moments where the entire building tilts and shifts, it's a lot of fun.
It's almost never a good idea to defend standing directly on the point. Generally you want cover and an easily accessible line of sight to the cashbox, ideally from above.
It's my favorite game right now. I'd stopped playing for a long while and I'm back to playing almost daily.
This game is so damn good. I can't even be bothered by all the sensational headlines and influencers jumping over themselves to tear it down. Fuck em all, for sure
The good news is it finally is playable on Linux! I played it in the beta when I still had a Windows install, but I had switched to 100% Linux by the time it launched. It uses Easy AC, which the newer versions support Linux, but I'm assuming it wasn't using the latest versions, or their own AC stuff was blocking us.
I just found this out yesterday so I haven't played any post-release yet, but the beta was a fun game so I'd recommend it.
they might've stopped development, but the game is still alive. finding matches even with only one playlist selected is still pretty fast compared to something like halo mcc
It's mostly bots... That's why I didn't really stick with it. If there was ever humans in the game, it was only 1 or 2 other people besides myself. And that was when it was new!
This game in particular had serious balance issues that may have definitely lead to this. Split gate is a much much better game, from a successful design POV.
Played a fair chunk. It just has a very shallow replay. The guns really aren't different enough in each class to make them fun, imo. Maybe with attachment customization or more options/balancing but currently the gun play gets stale fast.

Coupled with the lack of levels, and them all somehow feeling very similar, it got repetitive fast.
Some extra game modes would be fantastic. A lot of work, but payload modes or a protect/destroy mode could be a lot of fun with the destrucible environment
They just need to make a more interesting gameplay loop. The arena shooter genre is dead, even if this isnt an old school arena shooter, it is somewhat similar. People hate copycats but the reality is that some gameplay loops are better than others. Battle royales and loot extraction gameplay loops are more popular because they are more fun.
As much as I've been enjoying it, I've found myself alternating more between it and older favorites.
I unlocked everything with the free credits and I don't buy the battlepass so it feels like there's not much more for players like me.
I'd be willing to contribute with money since I'm having fun but I've had 0 interest in all of the cosmetics they've released so far.
