As an anxious person who hates sweaty games, I actually really enjoyed The Finals for a few months and even bought some DLC for shits and giggles. But it got old quickly and I entirely forgot it existed.
I played and loved many games that were taken down or abandoned (Gigantic, Dawngate, Strife, Destiny 2…) to the point where I instinctively prepare myself mentally to ‘lose’ a game if I’m enjoying it too much. This is the case with The Finals, it just feels so good to play, but past trauma has made me wiser and reminds me that it will not last, so I’m enjoying every second of it.
This game will not succeed with the bare bones marketing they’re giving it, that, and Nexon is the publisher, and also the FPS market is oversaturated so how could it take off when the other options have cemented their position. But wow, what an experience it’s been while it lasted, probably the best shooter I’ve ever played.
It depends on how the studio signed the publishing contract and should they part ways, who owns the IP. But if the game loop is proven good and have fan base to sustain a studio, someone will take the torch if the game was shut by publisher.
as a casual PVP scum, I wasn’t able to get into it. The 3v3 with the non-stop chase and timers was too sweaty for me. I wanted to like it but I couldn’t even see a way to be supportive as a not-so-gud.
The ttk is ridiculous as well. I’m gunning someone down and it’s like 2 mags before they dropped. It had potential but not how it was when I tried end of last year.
