    With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can’t justify buying games I’ll never even have time to play

    …which is fine. The finals is great!

      I’ve been curious about The Finals, it looks fun. Is it easy to get into? I worry about toxicity in multiplayer because I’m not great at team based games.

        It’s excellent, and I mainly play with randoms. The toxicity not so bad if you accept the BS that comes with random partners. Personally I have only dealt with some shithead teens and one guy who got mad I kept healing him. You get quitters quite a bit like in any PVP game, but it fills quickly. I have voice chat disabled 90% of the time, since pinging is in the game. The destruction is peak physics destruction in a multiplayer game, some of my favorite moments in any game have come from the pure chaos of things falling apart in the Finals. They also added a new 5v5 mode that feels way less frustrating and more casual (to me at least).

        I imagine it’s even better if you’ve got a trio of well coordinated players, I’ve certainly played against some nasty trios in my 80 hours. Personally I think this is the most unique PVP shooter out right now, and it’s extremely polished for F2P.

          Thanks for the detailed reply, I think I’ll give it a shot! Glad to hear they added a 5v5 mode.
