I really enjoyed that cash out article by Matt. Fantastic info. I haven't really been keeping up on the day to day of EE hunts, but I'm curious - since the last patch(ish) I've been seeing single scene images flash by after the "rules" screen when a match is loading. Is this part of an EE puzzle or just a visual bug? 😂
I agree that they basically had the game on early access until now, I actually thought the same around the start of season 3 But at the same time, I don't think it would've been right for them to release an early access or a beta with monetized cosmetics, I feel like people would not respect them as devs as much as they do if Embark did that
I like the “plug meta” as me and my friends call it. Everyone is fighting over the final cashbox later in the game and not waiting to swoop in last second. It’s more engaging
Defender bonus is almost meaningless now with how far a coin spawns you from the objective and the rest of your team. It rarely benefits to coin now. They need to fix coin spawns.
@SunyiMad yeah they literally said that already. GAH. you don't keep up with every piece of the finals info at all times? What the hell, man? You got a job and responsibilities or somethin?
we are always so focused on what's beyond the walls......... But have we ever thought to ourselves that maybe there is nothing beyond them? how do we know if the walls we pass just leads us to another wall, a challenge that just leads into another challenge, an endless cycle of looking over the walls to just see another wall.
My biggest issue with the game was not addressed at all. Casual does not have any focus given to it at all. They're catering entirely to a competitive playstyle. I agreed with you on that the first year of the game should have been called "Early Access". But too little too late. I've lost any motivation to play or support The Finals. At the moment I have no intentions of ever touching it again. I'll keep watching content creators because they're the ones I want to support now, and not the game itself.
@@ketufo not for me it isn't. Same repetitive gameplay loop, going against the same team comps. Having a good match, instead of feeling great that I did well just leaves me with an impending doom that the remainder of my playtime will be against sweats. In that sense, I've experienced all that the game has to offer.
@@michelangeluhhh yeah you're right. I should just quit my job and play the game 24 hours a day. 700 hours since launch is definitely not enough time for me to voice my frustrations at all. Watch the video by NorthstarUK called "The mechanical arms race that is killing online games". It's very well made and it'll help you get a perspective of my POV. Look through Rockhound's older videos where you'll see my comments. I was optimistic and supportive of the game. I wanted it to succeed and be what I would have fun playing. It's just not it.
@@michelangeluhhh well TH-cam keeps deleting my responses so I'm not gonna type it all out again. But yeah, I don't need to hear that from you when I have 700 hours in the game bud. I don't understand what level of skill you people expect from casual players. Like jeez let games be games not every match be an ALGS top 8 or something.
Something minor but consider plugging in a controller for the free cam B roll in the future as it'd be MUCH smoother to fly around with Otherwise, man I love this series- thanks Rockhound.
@@RockhoundBlack can suggest the Xbox elite series. Amazing controllers but for game videography the tweaks you can do to the sticks and triggers (via the app, to things like sensitivity especially, or remapping to do multiple degrees of freedom/rotation at once) make them second to none. 🤗
Might be worth waiting a few weeks for Amazon prime day! They usually have great deals on all controllers but especially the higher end Xbox elites or razers etc
I think embark should increase the amount of money 4th place teams gets from cashouts to make it easy for a last second play not needing to double stack the cashboxes
Nice opening shots
Got the popcorn out and ready to consume some Rockhound content!🍿
lets gooo another rockhoundblack video...
8:00 destructability on the new map looks awesome!
Love the bants at the end 😂😂

Thank you for the video!!!! I’m a data nerd and did not know they put out this information. Thanks for the breakdown!
Very good informational video keep it up❤

Think it's a visual bug
@@Pizza_Dough1 yeah I think so too. It might be the spawn location briefly showing

Great opening maybe try attaching a controller for some smoother shots if you want
@@_frixx_746 oh! Great idea, thanks. I don’t have one, so that’s going on the list haha
@@RockhoundBlack glad I could help lad
@@RockhoundBlackAnother tip with this, get some rubber bands and use those to pull the sticks for an even smoother control :)
im ok with no gadgets but i would like to see a new one maybe mid season so the seasons have stuff in between besides just cosmetics
Who knows what the future holds
Yes I agree, they should release a few gadgets or maybe even weapons throughout the season
I think we need new hazard or something that spawns on maps
Soundtrack in the beginning

Damn this map is huge. Excited to see what kind of fights we all get into!
Good video brother
@@sparten6 thanks!

They literally said they are working on that in their updates to cashout post on their website
That's great to hear. Didn't have time to read that post yet.
@SunyiMad yeah they literally said that already. GAH. you don't keep up with every piece of the finals info at all times? What the hell, man? You got a job and responsibilities or somethin?
Please there is a massive performance issue due to the last 3.14 update, is there a way you spread awarness about it
Thats me! im the guy dissapointed by no new specs or gadgets! (wheres my double jump and my shokwave nade ? :( )
we are always so focused on what's beyond the walls......... But have we ever thought to ourselves that maybe there is nothing beyond them? how do we know if the walls we pass just leads us to another wall, a challenge that just leads into another challenge, an endless cycle of looking over the walls to just see another wall.
oh hell yea
IIIIIITS SHOWWWWWTIMEE
dw bro i did all the usual youtube business
How did you get the opening shots?
@@ZedHead232 I was the spectator in a private match during the Twitchcon Season 4 preview event.

I do hope they update the rabbit, it's so ugly and obviously ai generated
No, it's based on a rabbit that Dusty drew on Rob's birthday card.
@@RockhoundBlack well I'm gonna go slap myself now 😅

4:20 and then theres me, who has 400+ hours playing everything but ranked 🤣
Great video. Love the finals❤

How do you get that spectator mode going? >_>
If you set up a private match, you can choose to be a spectator rather than play.
@RockhoundBlack
Thank you brother lol!!
I’m not any of the player types??? I play loads and daily but only quick cash
