The Finals is so fkn sweaty sometimes. But it is also so fun when my team is not getting deleted in 0.2 seconds.

    I tried the Finals, for like 2 weeks... I just can't with it. It's too chaotic, weapon balance is non-existent, everyone is playing team deathmatch because maybe only 4 people in the whole lobby know what the objective is, and those 4 people are the sweatiest, nastiest, most toxic people in gaming. I have been in several matches and heard players yelling n-slurs like it was a 2006 CoD lobby.

    I wanted to like it. The character customizer is super detailed with cool stuff... but the microtransaction economy of it sucks giant donkey balls. You'll never make enough playing for free to buy anything more than some finger nail colors.... and you'd have to take out a second mortgage to buy enough "points/coins/gold?" to buy all the things you want.

    Basically, fuck everything about the Finals.... neat concept ruined by a greedy model, toxic playerbase, shitty balancing, and confusing gameplay. That's why the playercount is dogshit, and it'll be yet another games-as-a-service shutdown within the next year.

    EDIT: and shit, I forgot to mention the invisible OHK stabby bullshit that no one, in any FPS game finds fun.

    It's not for everyone.

    It is a heavily chaotic game with an extremely high skill ceiling. Essentially a mix of overwatch and Battlefield. Overwatch, in that if you don't play with your team, it is highly likely you will lose. Battlefield, in that you will die a lot until you learn the game flow.

    I have been playing this game since launch and I can say it is fairly rare for me to run into players slinging slurs. Maybe it is just the server I am on. It is fairly common to see racist or bigoted usernames though.

    By way of the cosmetics, they are all cosmetic. There are plenty of free earnable cosmetics if you play the game consistently. When compared to other live service micro transactions, their prices are VERY affordable for what you are getting. The cosmetic bundles you can get are able to be used as multiple pieces, (I.e. pants, shirt, head gear, shoes) and can be put on every class as opposed to one character. It is a free to play live service game, so it makes sense they need money to continue improving the game.

    Most live service games, aside from Warframe, don't really make improvements to the overall game as they get money from MTXs. The Finals has changed so much from what it launched as, and it has been less than 3 years.

    It has it's cons (Like the ai voices for two in game characters), but this is the best live service PVP FPS I, personally, have ever played when it comes to character customization, gun play, and developer dedication to improving the game.
