THE FINALS

mmmm cashbok

why is $10 battlepass content unlocked behind another $30 paywall?

Tldr; I definitely recommend it, it's one of the best fps out there. Try it for yourself, it's free anyway so nothing to lose but an hour or two of your time. Now a few things i would like to point out: [h3]Pro[/h3] [list] [*][b]Gunplay and TTK[/b] The gunplay feels great, and the slower TTK makes the game less about "who spots who first." It rewards movement, positioning, and actually knowing how to use the environment around you. [*][b]Physics-based destruction[/b] The destruction system makes the maps feel much less repetitive, even after more than a thousand hours. [*][b]Customization & Cosmetics[/b] You can mix and match pretty much everything. Even purchased outfits can be split into individual parts, allowing you to build your character however you like. [/list] [h3]Con[/h3] [list] [*][b]Servers[/b] Just expect some delays, stutters, or occasional outages. Nothing game-breaking and, at least in my experience, it doesn't happen frequently enough to be a major issue. [*][b][i]Some[/i] of the players and the Meta Slavery[/b] Just like in every other FPS, some people are simply garbage on a social level and manage to ruin the fun for everyone else. What's also annoying is seeing every second player running the exact same current meta build purely for the sake of winning. It just feels dishonest, lazy, and pretty cheap. And when you see something different once in a while, the moment they start losing, they switch back to the current meta. Sad to see when the game gives you all the options to create your own playstyle... [*][b]Ultimate Battle Pass is too pricey[/b] For €20, I'd say it's fine. But at €30, I can't really recommend it, especially when some of the Battle Passes themselves are noticeably weaker than others. [/list] [h3]Personal quick tip[/h3] Stay out of Ranked until the last 40–50 days of each season. Once you notice that normal Cashout becomes practically unplayable — because Ranked players are too scared of losing their rank in a fair fight and instead use normal Cashout to "warm up" by ruining everyone else's afternoon — just switch to Ranked. Seriously, the difference is a joke.
