This is my daily driver! I love The Finals but what’s killing it is the fierce competition and the fact that randoms seem to eat paint chips! Every teammate I get is basically useless which makes the game extremely frustrating! If you don’t have decent friends to play with it’s just not fun tbh. There is no other game like it! Long term this game is in a very good place IMO
Anybody reading this, Give this game a serious try, try getting used to it and learn it for a few days, you will come to absolutely love it. The gameplay loop is super non-repetitive and enjoyable everytime. There is a mode for everyone
Please listen to this person, it is truly an amazing game, so many hype and crazy moments! ❤ sometimes I wish I was recording gameplay lol you never know what you're gonna pull off
yea it’s a truly an amazing game, I got diamond in season two and got top 5,000 in the world at that time and the game is truly amazing and stunning pls do try it
For almost a year (started in dec last year) I played almost exclusively quick cash, which while fun, does get a bit repetitive, but within the last week I played power shift for the first time and it is incredible, each class is more viable, you need to adapt based on each map. Let’s say you are a light with a sniper, for defence, incredible, but when you need to push, you change your weapon or class (or hit your shots, but who does that), the variety is beautiful.
Finals is vastly underrated and this season so far seems way more balanced than previous seasons. The gunplay is great, the maps are good, the destruction is insane, the skins are top notch, the soundtrack is banging, the modes can be both casual and competitive and I’m kinda struggling to understand what major box it’s not ticking for the masses. Feel like this season may be a turning point as many will return and as we all know, FPS gamers tend to flock to hype and I’m seeing plenty of it right now.
The finals is a fun game. For me the things I had problems with early on is TTK and the difference of health bars. Feels imbalanced sometimes. Even though that's the point lol. This game also isn't vehicular or in the BR or extraction shooter market. But I do enjoy it. The finals with vehicles however would be cool. >_> Especially if the maps were made for it. It wouldn't be Battlfield exactly but it would most definetly be freaking cool. But yeah lol idk. I could see more silly sorts of vehicles and things more or less like cranes,Construction vehicles maybe, Mechs. But more or less vehicles tailored towards destruction of buildings with no guns attached.
The finals to me is something so so special, I’ve been playing since the first closed beta and I always feel like there’s no game like it. New ideas, smooth gunplay, visually stunning maps, both realistically, and with the more stylized such as SySHorizon and Fortune Stadium, customization that respects your wallet, natural, epic moments with teammates, and a pretty great community! All under these passionate developers that update the game week by week, I know it sounds like I’m glazing, but something is just so magical about this and seeing you talk about this game is absolutely amazing!
I quit COD a couple months back and since then I’ve been playing The Finals and honestly I don’t think even regret it. The game is less sweaty and even more fun and enjoyable.
For the most part I agree with this, but I have noticed a huge increase in sweat since the end of S3/Start of S4. I feel its unfortunately a double edged sword of it finally getting the recognition it deserves, brought a long quite a few tryhards
I don't understand how people still play cod.. I mean, it's a mess, feels like a low budget game programmed by bad students... Nothing works as it should. There are 1000 weapons but ony 3 or 4 are viable. No footsteps. "Update on steam. Launch. Update requires restart" - FML; can't fix basic bugs but the store gerts updated weekly; sniper headshot doesnt down? FML..I could go on and on, and I didn't even mention how broken aim assist is if you learn how to use it. A complete mess
It's been my absolute favorite and daily game since it launched. Nothing comes close once you get into the flow and learn the movement and techniques. And it really doesn't take a hardcore gamer to get into it. it can be very casual and fun if you want to. I'm glad to see big creators making content for it and trying to pull new players in!
Yes the combat flow is amazing here, call of duty style is pretty much who gets crosshairs onto the target first with its time to kill. That aspect of it is going for a grounded experience in that you getting shot first is bad and I think that’s what the public at large is used to these days. You will never jump off a high building crashing through the roof of a lower one with a sledgehammer here. The finals? This is John woo and everyone can take some shots before going down. It definitely has this fluidness to it that not many games capture. It’s almost like playing quake for me back in the day or team fortress with the way combat goes. It’s just wild and I love it.
I love how well balanced the game is. Everything from the weapons, to characters, to the gameplay itself. The fact that it is a free game is amazing. Id rather drop $70 on this than a call of duty
? Balancing has been this games biggest issue since release and there’s constant arguments over the issue amongst the community it’s far from well balanced lmao
Love the finals but it’s not well balanced. The ttk has gotten longer and longer every season because of all the nerfs, when it was already way longer than other games to begin with. It’s getting out of control
Love seeing bigger creators finally giving this game the spotlight it deserves! It's amazing how dedicated and hard working the devs are, delivering everything from an absolute banger soundtrack to fresh, original gameplay. It’s rare to see a studio this consumer friendly, yet somehow, still go unnoticed. Let’s hope more people start noticing what an absolute gem we’ve got here!
Its only been 2 days since I started playing it and I'm already in love with the game. I've even adopted the whole SplatMountain cause I sometimes kept on dying for missing a jump across the buildings XD
They need some lore/fun videos. Maybe some meet-the-team style videos with contestants, something entertaining to for people to share around with other people. Some good marketing will make this game mainstream in no time.
@@donovanjoseph737 yeah, they could idk like make the skins have contestants personalities, so they can use they in trailers and videos, and in-game these personalities could be something like "voice" in the customization tab
It’s the lack of marketing and the learning curve. The Finals doesn’t have traditional TDM mode (nor I think they should), the destructions and classes systems tends to get really chaotic compared to a more ‘controlled’ competitive FPS like Valorant and CS, and playing as a Solo takes away at least 70% of the fun of the game.
This game is my go to shooter for me and my friends. Coming from cod since cod 4 and an even bigger battlefield fan this game was a breath of fresh air. I think the game has a smaller community because most people probably didn’t give the game a chance, I think some genuinely didn’t get how the cash out tournaments work. Because somehow I’ve seen people call the game “slow” sounds like they just got into one game, didn’t know where to go or what to do and quit after a round. All that being said the game is still alive and well but the game is so good you’d expect it to have 10 times the player count
Yes, it is, and season 4 has me addicted. I also doubt the new battlefield will even come close. They havent done real destruction in a long time and it certainly wont be at the level of the finals.
I tried to bring some friends to this game, but they all said it's hard to play, and I understand them. The Finals is a fast-paced & skill-based game. Before S4, the tutorial was subpar, I'm hoping the S4 with the new tutorial for new players will turn it around.
@@Trigger200284average people can't comprehend "teams with the most money wins. To get money, get kills, or better yet open and deposit vaults?" or powershift, I.E "Tug of war/king of the hill?" TA, which is S&D and Bank It which is DM/Kill Confirmed?
@@Trigger200284 pretty crazy people would rather get slaughtered in spawn over and over again on the new BO6 over playing this absolute gem of a shooter. I get what you’re saying, though there’s really not that much to grasp when it comes to the finals. If people put as much effort to learn the game as they do scouring UA-cam for the most broken CoD loadout then maybe they’d have a better time.
I've been playing this game since closed alpha 1, have over 450 hours in the full release, and I can confirm that this game is unbelievably fun. The longevity isn't in the in-game progression yet, though, it's in learning and creating your own unique creative loadouts and finding your own playstyle. Also, use a monitor crosshair, bullets are hitscan and don't follow the iron sights, thank me later.
11:05 id like to add that there is an entirely free career path that is 100% free that gives you a massive amount of cosmetics and also you sign to a sponsor this season which also goves you free cosmetics. On top of that, they consistently put out events that offer free stuff. Its really insane how much free stuff the game throws at you, to the point you want to throw some money at the game. Its very generous at the moment.
I’ve started playing since season one have 500+ hours in this game reached diamond multiple times and almost platinumed it and it’s truly a stunning game
I absolutely love this game and I don’t really get why it hasn’t popped off lol I think I’m just attracted to games that for some reason don’t hit mass appeal despite thinking they should. Titanfall 2, The Finals, DMZ(less so), etc. To anyone who hasn’t tried it, go play this game cuz it’s seriously so good
@@johnc8209 It's not easy to find the right settings, but it's definitely doable. I recommend experimenting in practice mode - especially without aim assist. Once you turn it on and add some strafe it really sticks!
@@TheMerimack1 ive actually been trying to set it up but for some reason when i try to do practice it drops from the server. But yeah so far its been pretty fun but I’m still tryna get the right settings between looking around and then ADS
This game is the best FPS on the market right now. It's got a smoothness that made it hard to go back to Apex. The game is extremely fair on cosmetics: you can get everything you want from the battlepass and tons of free currency.
The fact that Stone Mountain uploaded Finals content makes me very happy, I've been subbed for years for your og cod content and shifted my game likes so havent kept updated with your channel, but never lost the sub. to my pleasant surprise I recieved a notification of you and the finals, so happy. Please more finals!!
Welcome to MY Finals. This is my game and everyone else is just pawns in it. You wanna be the best? Well too bad I'm breathing still! I am The Finals and I will bust yo ahhhh!
Im so, SO, happy that a big youtuber finally (no pun intended) made a video waking up people and telling them how good this game truly is. This game deserves more and so do the youtubers of its small community. I hope to see more contestants in the arena of the upcoming seasons. You better hop on, cause its SHOWTIME!
An underrated aspect of this game is its monetization: you can get a battlepass and within 7 hours of play have completed enough to buy the next battlepass. Hell, you can even buy a skin bundle that gives you a skin, plus the same amount of premium currency youd get, if you bought the currency alone. And the skins are GOOD, so its a win win. I bought the Metro Drifter bundle because i love the modern tacticool look and im now set for life to get all the battlepasses, with some extra premium currency each season to spare for other skins.
good to see this game get some attention . a breath of fresh air from the same COD every single year. the devs listen to the community and roll out good balance patches. i would love to watch you guys play this. subbed just for this
@StoneMountain64 Thanks for the reply, Stone! Yeah, I grinded ranked to at least Diamond every season until like season 12. The Finals has been such a refreshing game to play, and it definitely doesn't get the credit and hype it deserves. If you're ever down, I'd love to play with you on there sometime!
I've always enjoyed The Finals over other FPS games because this game actively rewards you for thinking creatively. When almost every object on the map is able to be destroyed, you can pull off some pretty wild stuff.
i have 300h+ in this game and to be fair EVERY game i played was different, there are no standard strategies, no strict builds that you have to follow. This, what make the finals so unique and fresh
One thing I really wanna mention to new players as well is that the battlepass gives you your premium currency back plus like 4 or 500 extra! Such a great game with a great free to play model
@@user-ne9sd4ow1o but it is free for people who are already playing the game. I didn't play S3 at all until 3 days before S4 dropped, and I got already to 97 so I bought the pass, and immediately got +400 credits
@@user-ne9sd4ow1o You get the 4 or 500 currency from the battlepass whether you buy it or not. I get that its a "hook players in" thing, but getting rewarded for playing a really fun, addicting, and great game is never a bad thing imo. Cod is an absolute snoozefest compared to the finals
@@user-ne9sd4ow1o You get the 400 or 500 premium currency even if you don't buy the battlepass. I get the battlepass hook you in thing, but with all the freebies they give you just for playing and having a good time buying it was more of a "I wanna support the devs" decision more than anything
Almost 400 hours into the game. This is the game that we were waiting. If you are tired of COD and Battlefield. This game does multiple things different and in the correct way. Stop raging at those games and enjoy this. You won’t regret
I used to be a BIG Apex guy and ever since The Finals came out, Apex just ain't it anymore. The Finals makes Apex feel so outdated. I've gone back to Apex a couple times but it doesn't hook me like The Finals does. Not to mention, the cosmetics in The Finals are LEAGUES better than Apex's.
I loved the destruction in BF 3 and 4, and now I am completely loving THE FINALS. The destruction is unparalleled in any modern games and goes so well together with the cash-out gameplay. And I also like to play dress up, crew looking fly as heck. 😎
Great review...I'm a 54 year old dad of a gamer tenn and dont play myself but whenever my child downloads a new game to change things up a bit, i like to watch videos to see what other people are proclaiming about the game before he REALLY gets into it so much that he wouldnt want to quit even if i told him hecouldnt play it. Not that he wouldnt do as hes told but by finding out early on, it saves me from having to rip him away from something he might have already come to love so much. So i was especially happy with this review and was very glad to hear the finals isnt some type of demonic satanic evil game to influence kids dnd teens into doing evil. So, thank you so much from this viewer in Central Kentucky for your video on the topic.
gamers just don’t like good games it seems. this game is genuinely so so good man i wish nothing but huge success for it. this season is heat it’s balanced, new weapons are great, new map is great, and it just feels like this is the best finals has ever been. only going up from here. embark is an amazing studio they care about their game and it shows. i’m not sure why it doesn’t have more players for what it has to offer, but damn am i enjoying this game rn. it has something for everyone. and the build variety is great, gameplay loop is incredibly well crafted, the destruction mechanics are PEAK.
Seriously. You see people screaming for something new, and complaining that gaming has become stale. But when a new innovative game launches, they just seem to dismiss it for whatever reason. I've seen a lot of misinformation and just honestly stupid takes floating around the internet regarding the game. I get that the game might not be for everyone, but it should still be a lot more popular than it is right now. It's just too good, and brings so many new things on the table.
The finals is good but there area absolutely a lot of things in it that prevent it from exploding in popularity. Even without going into mechanics there's no sense of characters or a setting to ground the game which makes marketing a lot harder as the visuals aren't going to easily show the depth of the mechancis. In terms of mechanics: For one balance is arguable at best, people are already complaining about the pike dominating, the state of tools like the rpg. Alongside this you have complaints about how some setups can get very powerful by just stacking them on a team. Even ignoring the balance aspect the game can easily get annoying at times which can push away the more casual audience. Some specific things like triple medium turrets or triple heal beams + defibs can be annoying. But the biggest one is probably getting 2 teamed on in cash-out as that's a much more frequent occurance being basically a feature of the main game mode. That's just from a casual perspective too the more competitive side of the game leaves a lot to be desired and also begins to show some of the flaws in design. Especially with how tournament cash-out as a mode just isn't a good fit for a rank system and the developers attempts make it fit anyway create a lot of undesirable side effects. For example teaming up with other teams is a natural consequence of 2 teams advancing to the next round with no downside for being second place, so its not uncommon to see first place willing to give up their spot to secure a going into the next round. Or for first and second place to work together to prevent a cash-out going into overtime to secure both their pots. Ontop of that there's situations where first place will go out of their way to help another team get into second/first because they either hold an advantage against them mechanically or its a generally weaker team that makes their next match easier (say helping a team with player disconnects win). In addition to all this season 4 now shows you explictly how much rank you gain/lose depending on your placement which while a good quality of life change, has also made a side effect where some teams are perfectly willing to not win a match and instead play for 3rd place to secure ranked points. Which creates a nightmare scenario where the game can become every team against the team in last practically garaunteeing their loss. This is all just the fundemental issues with ranked tournament cash-out, there's plenty of other issues on top of that like how being unable to change equipment during a match can easily lead to fighting at a disadvantage if another team's setup counters yours.
I love this game and I'm also sad not enough people are playing it I will say that for the season 3 trailer, which was shown for the Summer Game fest, some of the people I watched brought up that the announcers don't have direct voice acting but use AI for the voices. I don't think those streamers have even played the game, but it seemingly deters people that they use AI for this small part of the game.
Constant updates, a battle pass you can get through with casual play with content that is worth the asking price. No deceptive alternative currencies behind weird walls or grinding.... Exclusive stuff that isn't dropped for $10 weeks later for everyone to buy after you've grinded for it. Fun gameplay, great community, hardly run into toxic comms or players. Devs that listen and actually implement changes and do so quickly. Banging soundtrack, insane character customization... list goes on and on. It's a real gem in today's gaming landscape. The ability to use the environment against players, make new paths to traverse - go horizontal and vertical against enemies, slow people down by removing paths and staircases, etc. You need to think a lot more then point and click which makes it more mentally stimulating for me.
I was done with online games until this game showed up. I’m literally back at being a kid having the time of my life while playing this game, no other online game comes close to me. I hope it only gets bigger, Embark deserve it!
Played a lot of this game! Graphics are amazing and the destruction is vast. The only issues I have are the low amount of weapons and some balance issues regarding classes (mostly heavy) and some weapons.
After 22 Apex legends seasons, this is the game that got me to move on. Unlike Apex the Audio works, Unlike Apex the servers work, Unlike Apex the skill base match making is balance, Unlike Apex they are quick to catch and ban cheaters. Unlike Apex there are no cheesy loot box gambling mechanics, the cosmetics you want can be purchased at a very fair price you'll happily pay. Unlike Apex you don't have whiny pros that sway the game to their favor against the interest of the player base at large. Seriously invest a solid 50 hours into this game and you won't itch to return to Apex or whatever other dumpster fire you are fleaing.
let me tell you the problem with this game is that most of the pepole don't even know this game name or it exist and they don't target the bigger group of people like china, india, pakistan, south korea, Malaysia, Philippines e.t.c they are the bigger group they should advertise to those guys by collab or other method. the game does not have many flaws and if they know they would play the game. like i hardly ever heard bad review of this game
@@АндрейТерлецкий-н6г Yep, and when they did market it towards China the game got flooded with cheaters. There's a reason it went from 200k on steam to 10k.
@T4RC Have only seen one person doing something strange I got him in my party and he didn’t know it was happening but he was invisible as a medium all you could see was his gun
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS GAME! I love seeing big creators giving The Finals some well deserved love. Im sad to see you talk about it as a holdover for call of duty and battlefield, but mainstream is gonna mainstream.
I've been playing since the beta and I can honestly say that the biggest issue is how the devs balance weapons and classes. Every season, there's always something completely broken, and everyone ends up abusing it. Now it's the akimbo, CL40, and Spike, which, when combined with the competitive and sweaty playstyle that has settled in... it turns into a complete nightmare for new players. I have friends who last, at most, two matches before they stop playing and I end up playing with randoms, which honestly, it's just not as fun. Besides that, I have to say it feels like the best FPS I've ever played. It's fun, creative, fast-paced, and highly addictive
This games development team is truly a rare sight. They worked hard to bring it to where it’s at. And I am loving it
the game lead even streams the game very often. talk about passionate devs

And it really doesn't take a hardcore gamer to get into it. it can be very casual and fun if you want to. I'm glad to see big creators making content for it and trying to pull new players in!
Yes the combat flow is amazing here, call of duty style is pretty much who gets crosshairs onto the target first with its time to kill. That aspect of it is going for a grounded experience in that you getting shot first is bad and I think that’s what the public at large is used to these days. You will never jump off a high building crashing through the roof of a lower one with a sledgehammer here.
The finals? This is John woo and everyone can take some shots before going down. It definitely has this fluidness to it that not many games capture. It’s almost like playing quake for me back in the day or team fortress with the way combat goes. It’s just wild and I love it.
I love how well balanced the game is. Everything from the weapons, to characters, to the gameplay itself. The fact that it is a free game is amazing. Id rather drop $70 on this than a call of duty

@@getinthevan9958 i only problem i have is that the game stutters no matter wut setting i put on my 3080 .. i wish it ran better 👍👍
this game have all check mark for a successful game, i think they just lack of marketing
@@mrkrappa297 100%
They need some lore/fun videos. Maybe some meet-the-team style videos with contestants, something entertaining to for people to share around with other people. Some good marketing will make this game mainstream in no time.
@@donovanjoseph737 yeah, they could idk like make the skins have contestants personalities, so they can use they in trailers and videos, and in-game these personalities could be something like "voice" in the customization tab
Nah just make some prettier and more muscaln constants and it'll be bigger than over watch in a week 😂
It’s the lack of marketing and the learning curve. The Finals doesn’t have traditional TDM mode (nor I think they should), the destructions and classes systems tends to get really chaotic compared to a more ‘controlled’ competitive FPS like Valorant and CS, and playing as a Solo takes away at least 70% of the fun of the game.
This game needs WAAAAYYYY more attention. The most fun shooter available right now and it's polished as well.
Its one of the greatest fps' on the market, ever.
THE FINALS! is top tier very LOW KEY
Bro, it IS the top-tier!
Very HIGH KEY
10:48 it's good to add that they also made it so you can buy individual pieces of a bundle, so you aren't forced to buy the whole thing
Better than cod
master peice is an understatement. This game has some of the best devs that listen to the community and i love this game.
World Tour is the Pinnacle of gaming, hands down, mic drop , end of story.... Quick Cash is for casual/beginner players FYI
This game is my go to shooter for me and my friends. Coming from cod since cod 4 and an even bigger battlefield fan this game was a breath of fresh air.
I think the game has a smaller community because most people probably didn’t give the game a chance, I think some genuinely didn’t get how the cash out tournaments work. Because somehow I’ve seen people call the game “slow” sounds like they just got into one game, didn’t know where to go or what to do and quit after a round.
All that being said the game is still alive and well but the game is so good you’d expect it to have 10 times the player count
dude so glad this game is getting the love it deserves, its such a breathe of fresh air from all the other shooters we have
Yes, it is, and season 4 has me addicted.
I also doubt the new battlefield will even come close. They havent done real destruction in a long time and it certainly wont be at the level of the finals.
I tried to bring some friends to this game, but they all said it's hard to play, and I understand them. The Finals is a fast-paced & skill-based game. Before S4, the tutorial was subpar, I'm hoping the S4 with the new tutorial for new players will turn it around.
It won’t. People don’t care, they want a good shooter that makes sense to them, this game is just too much and it’s not fun for average people.
@@Trigger200284average people can't comprehend "teams with the most money wins. To get money, get kills, or better yet open and deposit vaults?" or powershift, I.E "Tug of war/king of the hill?" TA, which is S&D and Bank It which is DM/Kill Confirmed?
@@Trigger200284I understand the statement that you're making but I don't agree. Nothing about this game is complicated
@@Trigger200284 pretty crazy people would rather get slaughtered in spawn over and over again on the new BO6 over playing this absolute gem of a shooter.
I get what you’re saying, though there’s really not that much to grasp when it comes to the finals. If people put as much effort to learn the game as they do scouring UA-cam for the most broken CoD loadout then maybe they’d have a better time.
@iwsfilm_ 💯 agree
Thanks for giving this game love. It totally deserves it!
The Finals is peak gaming.
Thank You for making a video about this game! Definitely deserves more recognition
I've been playing this game since closed alpha 1, have over 450 hours in the full release, and I can confirm that this game is unbelievably fun. The longevity isn't in the in-game progression yet, though, it's in learning and creating your own unique creative loadouts and finding your own playstyle. Also, use a monitor crosshair, bullets are hitscan and don't follow the iron sights, thank me later.
11:05 id like to add that there is an entirely free career path that is 100% free that gives you a massive amount of cosmetics and also you sign to a sponsor this season which also goves you free cosmetics.
On top of that, they consistently put out events that offer free stuff. Its really insane how much free stuff the game throws at you, to the point you want to throw some money at the game.
Its very generous at the moment.
@@TheChrisLouis 100%
3 free Ospuze skins day 1 of s4.
For nothing
@@TheChrisLouis this comments even more true after the Halloween event they just did. I got like 12 new cosmetics for free
Just started playing today. tryna understand the game modes and everything but the game is stunning and fast and fun, it's a really fresh feeling
Yes Stone!! Shout it from the rooftops!!
Let’s spread the word everywhere! The game deserves it so much
This game is so underrated
I’ve started playing since season one have 500+ hours in this game reached diamond multiple times and almost platinumed it and it’s truly a stunning game
Best shooter I have played in YEARS
Highly recommended
I absolutely love this game and I don’t really get why it hasn’t popped off lol I think I’m just attracted to games that for some reason don’t hit mass appeal despite thinking they should. Titanfall 2, The Finals, DMZ(less so), etc.
To anyone who hasn’t tried it, go play this game cuz it’s seriously so good
You're a real one for playing The Finals and Titanfall 2. Both of these games should be at the top of all FPS games tbh
@@lochnesserl8654 😂 you too dawg
Titanfall and the finals player this is my clone
This game truly is pretty impressive. Hard as hell to figure out controller settings tho. I cant aim for shit ahha
@@johnc8209 It's not easy to find the right settings, but it's definitely doable. I recommend experimenting in practice mode - especially without aim assist. Once you turn it on and add some strafe it really sticks!
@@TheMerimack1 ive actually been trying to set it up but for some reason when i try to do practice it drops from the server. But yeah so far its been pretty fun but I’m still tryna get the right settings between looking around and then ADS
I can't aim for shit either... that's why I've used the flamethrower since S1 😂
@@johnc8209 this is funny because my aim is terrible in every game EXCEPT the finals lol
@@_lyraspan same bro. I use a low sens but fast ramp up/boost and it works really well
this video makes me happy, i really hope you continue to play it.
This game is the best FPS on the market right now. It's got a smoothness that made it hard to go back to Apex. The game is extremely fair on cosmetics: you can get everything you want from the battlepass and tons of free currency.
not only that, you can purchase all non bundle/battle pass cosmetics whenever you want, and even individual pieces from a set!
It’s 2024 how can anyone wanna play Cod /Wz after playing THEFINALS 💯🤣.
The fact that Stone Mountain uploaded Finals content makes me very happy, I've been subbed for years for your og cod content and shifted my game likes so havent kept updated with your channel, but never lost the sub. to my pleasant surprise I recieved a notification of you and the finals, so happy.
Please more finals!!
I came back to the finals a few days prior to the launch of season 4, I’m absolutely loving the game rn.
For new players I understand medium will feel the most familiar to play, but heavy and light have to be the most fun classes to use when you learn
Welcome to MY Finals. This is my game and everyone else is just pawns in it. You wanna be the best? Well too bad I'm breathing still! I am The Finals and I will bust yo ahhhh!
this is the start of The Finals blowing up.
The finals is the best game my friends refuse to play
bro same
Same
Thanks for making this video. Creators like you help The Finals to be a greater game. And it deserves that!
If i see THE FINALS i Sub!
Im so, SO, happy that a big youtuber finally (no pun intended) made a video waking up people and telling them how good this game truly is. This game deserves more and so do the youtubers of its small community. I hope to see more contestants in the arena of the upcoming seasons. You better hop on, cause its SHOWTIME!
I think it could be fun to link up with some people who have been grinding the game and content, maybe they can teach me some ways
@@StoneMountain64let’s go !
I absolutely love The Finals, the game is criminally under rated. Thank you for bringing some attention to it!
An underrated aspect of this game is its monetization: you can get a battlepass and within 7 hours of play have completed enough to buy the next battlepass. Hell, you can even buy a skin bundle that gives you a skin, plus the same amount of premium currency youd get, if you bought the currency alone. And the skins are GOOD, so its a win win.
I bought the Metro Drifter bundle because i love the modern tacticool look and im now set for life to get all the battlepasses, with some extra premium currency each season to spare for other skins.
Haven’t felt anything like this since 2016 Overwatch
Long live the finals!
Ready to see what’s in this masterpiece
good to see this game get some attention . a breath of fresh air from the same COD every single year. the devs listen to the community and roll out good balance patches. i would love to watch you guys play this. subbed just for this
The Finals is amazing! I stopped playing Apex when it released, and I've never gone back 😅
I was a massive apex fan for a few seasons after release. It was the last game I played ranked.
@StoneMountain64 Thanks for the reply, Stone! Yeah, I grinded ranked to at least Diamond every season until like season 12. The Finals has been such a refreshing game to play, and it definitely doesn't get the credit and hype it deserves. If you're ever down, I'd love to play with you on there sometime!
I think it needs more marketing, it's soooo good
This game pulled me Away from Apex Legends completely. It's so fun and adrenaline inducing!
I've always enjoyed The Finals over other FPS games because this game actively rewards you for thinking creatively. When almost every object on the map is able to be destroyed, you can pull off some pretty wild stuff.
Thank you for hyping this game we need a lot of other big names on here bc this game has been so good besides SZN 3😊
The finals is absolutely amazing. The skill cap is so much higher than any other shooter which is why it’s hard for people to get into I think
YES ❤ The Finals is a fucking masterpiece
i have 300h+ in this game and to be fair EVERY game i played was different, there are no standard strategies, no strict builds that you have to follow. This, what make the finals so unique and fresh
One thing I really wanna mention to new players as well is that the battlepass gives you your premium currency back plus like 4 or 500 extra! Such a great game with a great free to play model
Cod does this too. It's to hook you into playing more to complete the battle pass. "Nothing is free"
@@user-ne9sd4ow1o but it is free for people who are already playing the game. I didn't play S3 at all until 3 days before S4 dropped, and I got already to 97 so I bought the pass, and immediately got +400 credits
@@user-ne9sd4ow1o You get the 4 or 500 currency from the battlepass whether you buy it or not. I get that its a "hook players in" thing, but getting rewarded for playing a really fun, addicting, and great game is never a bad thing imo. Cod is an absolute snoozefest compared to the finals
@@user-ne9sd4ow1o You get the 400 or 500 premium currency even if you don't buy the battlepass. I get the battlepass hook you in thing, but with all the freebies they give you just for playing and having a good time buying it was more of a "I wanna support the devs" decision more than anything
Almost 400 hours into the game. This is the game that we were waiting. If you are tired of COD and Battlefield. This game does multiple things different and in the correct way. Stop raging at those games and enjoy this. You won’t regret
I used to be a BIG Apex guy and ever since The Finals came out, Apex just ain't it anymore. The Finals makes Apex feel so outdated.
I've gone back to Apex a couple times but it doesn't hook me like The Finals does.
Not to mention, the cosmetics in The Finals are LEAGUES better than Apex's.
I loved the destruction in BF 3 and 4, and now I am completely loving THE FINALS. The destruction is unparalleled in any modern games and goes so well together with the cash-out gameplay. And I also like to play dress up, crew looking fly as heck. 😎
Thanks for giving The Finals some love big boi 💜
Awesome video, thanks for spotlighting this game! It really does deserve so much more attention!
I love this game since open beta ❤
Great review...I'm a 54 year old dad of a gamer tenn and dont play myself but whenever my child downloads a new game to change things up a bit, i like to watch videos to see what other people are proclaiming about the game before he REALLY gets into it so much that he wouldnt want to quit even if i told him hecouldnt play it. Not that he wouldnt do as hes told but by finding out early on, it saves me from having to rip him away from something he might have already come to love so much. So i was especially happy with this review and was very glad to hear the finals isnt some type of demonic satanic evil game to influence kids dnd teens into doing evil. So, thank you so much from this viewer in Central Kentucky for your video on the topic.
gamers just don’t like good games it seems. this game is genuinely so so good man i wish nothing but huge success for it. this season is heat it’s balanced, new weapons are great, new map is great, and it just feels like this is the best finals has ever been. only going up from here. embark is an amazing studio they care about their game and it shows. i’m not sure why it doesn’t have more players for what it has to offer, but damn am i enjoying this game rn. it has something for everyone. and the build variety is great, gameplay loop is incredibly well crafted, the destruction mechanics are PEAK.
Seriously.
You see people screaming for something new, and complaining that gaming has become stale.
But when a new innovative game launches, they just seem to dismiss it for whatever reason.
I've seen a lot of misinformation and just honestly stupid takes floating around the internet regarding the game.
I get that the game might not be for everyone, but it should still be a lot more popular than it is right now. It's just too good, and brings so many new things on the table.
I don't think it's entirely because people don't want something new I think it's because the game is woke unfortunately sorry for the bad grammar
@@HQ_Legomeme ... bro what?
The finals is good but there area absolutely a lot of things in it that prevent it from exploding in popularity.
Even without going into mechanics there's no sense of characters or a setting to ground the game which makes marketing a lot harder as the visuals aren't going to easily show the depth of the mechancis.
In terms of mechanics:
For one balance is arguable at best, people are already complaining about the pike dominating, the state of tools like the rpg. Alongside this you have complaints about how some setups can get very powerful by just stacking them on a team.
Even ignoring the balance aspect the game can easily get annoying at times which can push away the more casual audience. Some specific things like triple medium turrets or triple heal beams + defibs can be annoying.
But the biggest one is probably getting 2 teamed on in cash-out as that's a much more frequent occurance being basically a feature of the main game mode.
That's just from a casual perspective too the more competitive side of the game leaves a lot to be desired and also begins to show some of the flaws in design. Especially with how tournament cash-out as a mode just isn't a good fit for a rank system and the developers attempts make it fit anyway create a lot of undesirable side effects.
For example teaming up with other teams is a natural consequence of 2 teams advancing to the next round with no downside for being second place, so its not uncommon to see first place willing to give up their spot to secure a going into the next round. Or for first and second place to work together to prevent a cash-out going into overtime to secure both their pots.
Ontop of that there's situations where first place will go out of their way to help another team get into second/first because they either hold an advantage against them mechanically or its a generally weaker team that makes their next match easier (say helping a team with player disconnects win).
In addition to all this season 4 now shows you explictly how much rank you gain/lose depending on your placement which while a good quality of life change, has also made a side effect where some teams are perfectly willing to not win a match and instead play for 3rd place to secure ranked points.
Which creates a nightmare scenario where the game can become every team against the team in last practically garaunteeing their loss.
This is all just the fundemental issues with ranked tournament cash-out, there's plenty of other issues on top of that like how being unable to change equipment during a match can easily lead to fighting at a disadvantage if another team's setup counters yours.
The Finals is the only game I play! So crisp/competitive and lots of destruction!
I love this game and I'm also sad not enough people are playing it
I will say that for the season 3 trailer, which was shown for the Summer Game fest, some of the people I watched brought up that the announcers don't have direct voice acting but use AI for the voices. I don't think those streamers have even played the game, but it seemingly deters people that they use AI for this small part of the game.
Wish I could play this game!!! Looks so fun!!
Constant updates, a battle pass you can get through with casual play with content that is worth the asking price. No deceptive alternative currencies behind weird walls or grinding.... Exclusive stuff that isn't dropped for $10 weeks later for everyone to buy after you've grinded for it. Fun gameplay, great community, hardly run into toxic comms or players. Devs that listen and actually implement changes and do so quickly. Banging soundtrack, insane character customization... list goes on and on. It's a real gem in today's gaming landscape. The ability to use the environment against players, make new paths to traverse - go horizontal and vertical against enemies, slow people down by removing paths and staircases, etc. You need to think a lot more then point and click which makes it more mentally stimulating for me.
This game is very fresh. Super fun
I was done with online games until this game showed up. I’m literally back at being a kid having the time of my life while playing this game, no other online game comes close to me. I hope it only gets bigger, Embark deserve it!
Played a lot of this game! Graphics are amazing and the destruction is vast.
The only issues I have are the low amount of weapons and some balance issues regarding classes (mostly heavy) and some weapons.
There's a good variety of weapons to use, and balancing should be stronger than ever this season 😊
Ain't no game similar to THE FINALS right now, the devs are really something else and the game is incredible, hope it gets more recognition
After 22 Apex legends seasons, this is the game that got me to move on. Unlike Apex the Audio works, Unlike Apex the servers work, Unlike Apex the skill base match making is balance, Unlike Apex they are quick to catch and ban cheaters. Unlike Apex there are no cheesy loot box gambling mechanics, the cosmetics you want can be purchased at a very fair price you'll happily pay. Unlike Apex you don't have whiny pros that sway the game to their favor against the interest of the player base at large. Seriously invest a solid 50 hours into this game and you won't itch to return to Apex or whatever other dumpster fire you are fleaing.
This game is so damn good, hopefully more people start playing bc this can really take off no joke
let me tell you the problem with this game is that most of the pepole don't even know this game name or it exist and they don't target the bigger group of people like china, india, pakistan, south korea, Malaysia, Philippines e.t.c they are the bigger group they should advertise to those guys by collab or other method. the game does not have many flaws and if they know they would play the game. like i hardly ever heard bad review of this game
They probably used a lot of money on advertising already (at start) and investors cannot allow them to do such a big thing again.
@@АндрейТерлецкий-н6г Yep, and when they did market it towards China the game got flooded with cheaters. There's a reason it went from 200k on steam to 10k.
This game needs so much more love! Found it a few weeks ago and can’t stop playing. Such a great job well done on this game.
Such a good game
Thank u so much for giving this game the recognition it deserves🧡
Good game
Finals is a multiplayer immersive sim arena shooter, it's S tier gaming
i quit this game 6 months ago due to hackers in ranked ,, if that is truly sorted i m so back
the hacker problem is much better now, i have only seen 1 in 100 hours of playing from season 3
Whole hackers situations turned around.Don't see any obvious hacking anymore. Check it out
@T4RC Have only seen one person doing something strange I got him in my party and he didn’t know it was happening but he was invisible as a medium all you could see was his gun
Season 4 made me come back to the game and I've been loving it so far!
I think big youtubers who are in the pc spehere underestimate just how many console players there are with these games.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS GAME! I love seeing big creators giving The Finals some well deserved love. Im sad to see you talk about it as a holdover for call of duty and battlefield, but mainstream is gonna mainstream.
the finals really is underrated! such a great game
I've been playing since the beta and I can honestly say that the biggest issue is how the devs balance weapons and classes. Every season, there's always something completely broken, and everyone ends up abusing it. Now it's the akimbo, CL40, and Spike, which, when combined with the competitive and sweaty playstyle that has settled in... it turns into a complete nightmare for new players. I have friends who last, at most, two matches before they stop playing and I end up playing with randoms, which honestly, it's just not as fun.
Besides that, I have to say it feels like the best FPS I've ever played. It's fun, creative, fast-paced, and highly addictive
