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
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
Also loved it prolly my fav shooter of all time. But i stoppes playing because solo Q is bad for my health
@@makavali-yb7xv with friends its one of the most fun experiences you can have in a shooter
@@makavali-yb7xv solo q world tour, it's pretty good :)
This game rules. Been my main game for months. Incredible how it’s simple, but has an insane amount of depth
Simple with insane depth is a good description!
@@Mind_Splitter 🙌🏼
@@PaulvanderWalt imo one of the best FPS games EVER
Stick to it bro, even when its hard to play because of the high skill, u will be better on evry hr playing!! Go on!!
@@Dustygoodz ur right!! 1000%
The Finals, finally getting the recognition it deserves! ❤
Yes!! 🙌
Best game ever!
@@HazedNConfused idk about “finally” I feel like this is just the start, it needs more genuine attention. It hasn’t gotten it since its release/beta
@@platnrg5903 because most people dont want to learn new mechanics and all they want to play is cod or apex lol
This is so welcomed for our under appreciated gem
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
@InfinitycgIN OK I will give it a try
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
I’ve been playing The Finals for a month now. I absolutely love 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.
Im a simple guy, I see channel talking about the finals, I suscribe
@@fernandosaldana3352 me too 💟
just what i did lol
@@ishpeeedyditto
Been subscribed to stone for years but yeah I do the same, anyone creating finals content gets my automatic subscribe
yeah, me too
According to my brother
"It's the best shooter I've played in years."
I couldn't agree more.
He's right
This Game makes me quit the Valorant, its so unique and enjoyable game with all the graphics and fast movements.
@@jizuplays same
There is a build & strategy for every playstyle. It feels like a sandbox FPS
@@jizuplays Valo is kinda lame
Understandable skill issue
@@goochipoochie lol im peak immortal in valorant. Unless you're a radiant im not talking anymore
Greatest fps game since Team Fortress 2 imo
Literally
@@snaggyak I like the finals but that’s a wild statement
@@CaseyGumballit's hard to disagree with this take, black ops 2 maybe, but it's up there for what it delivers.
@@CaseyGumballwhy is it wild? What game can you think about that compares. This game is just on another level with the fun factor
I love the finals and all but titanfall 2 exists
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.
It's almost like we're in the utopia of FPS shooters
Let's not even talk about skin prices for guns and other accessories on other games lol
one cool thing about the finals skins is that they give u a lot of premium currency and skins for free in events and ranked rewards
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 new medium marksman weapon is broken in my opinion. Other than that this season feels great
@@trickle1386 Better to have a reliable weapon at the start of the season rather than weapons that are terrible
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.
Very minimal sbmm to any in casual modes. Boom. What did it for me
less SBMM, but still ranked if you wanna get sweaty. As its meant to be
And really, even when it IS sweaty you can still pull off wins just by abusiing people's mistakes or being sneaky
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
Remember guys, only 2 animators are working on this game...
Fucking 2...
wait are you actually serious?
@@TYP2K. As serious as I can be
@@lochnesserl8654 that is insanity
2 animators???!!!!!!
Highly valuable indeed!!!
Wtf, no waaaaay ! I did not know that ! That's insaaaane
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!
100% agree. Best game on the market for shooters imo
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!
Ospuze, it’s that you? The real one? Give me a drink, I’m your best fan 😀
Wrong. NamaTama is the biggest fan here
Stone playing the finals?!?!?! YASSSS!!!
@@Mightywaterbear he is not . He just saw an opportunity with the new hype around the finals and made this video .
master peice is an understatement. This game has some of the best devs that listen to the community and i love this game.
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.
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
My thoughts exactly. It sucks that TH-camrs get stuck making call of duty videos because it's what makes their channels money though.
? 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
"well balanced" LMFAOO
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
@@rlsjunior797 shorter ttk is not the answer lights can already melt you before you even have time to react
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
THE FINALS! is top tier very LOW KEY
Bro, it IS the top-tier!
Very HIGH KEY
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.
Better than cod
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.
It’s 2024 how can anyone wanna play Cod /Wz after playing THEFINALS 💯🤣.
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.
The Finals is peak gaming.
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
This game is so underrated
World Tour is the Pinnacle of gaming, hands down, mic drop , end of story.... Quick Cash is for casual/beginner players FYI
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!
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
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
Its one of the greatest fps' on the market, ever.
Yes Stone!! Shout it from the rooftops!!
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 TH-cam for the most broken CoD loadout then maybe they’d have a better time.
@iwsfilm_ 💯 agree
this video makes me happy, i really hope you continue to play it.
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
im new to the game and im loving it 👍👍
Once I started playing, I tried to go back to other shooters. Nothing ever felt the same again. It's peak 🙌🏼
@@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 👍👍
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
Best shooter I have played in YEARS
Highly recommended
This game needs WAAAAYYYY more attention. The most fun shooter available right now and it's polished as well.
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 game pulled me Away from Apex Legends completely. It's so fun and adrenaline inducing!
Let’s spread the word everywhere! The game deserves it so much
Thank You for making a video about this game! Definitely deserves more recognition
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.
If i see THE FINALS i Sub!
Long live the finals!
Ready to see what’s in this masterpiece
The finals is the best game my friends refuse to play
bro same
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
Thanks for giving this game love. It totally deserves it!
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😊
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
YES ❤ The Finals is a fucking masterpiece
I think it needs more marketing, it's soooo good
I came back to the finals a few days prior to the launch of season 4, I’m absolutely loving the game rn.
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
Haven’t felt anything like this since 2016 Overwatch
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.
Awesome video, thanks for spotlighting this game! It really does deserve so much more attention!
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
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.
Thanks for making this video. Creators like you help The Finals to be a greater game. And it deserves that!
I absolutely love The Finals, the game is criminally under rated. Thank you for bringing some attention to it!
one thing to add about the battle pass is you can buy the premium pass with the multibucks you get just by completing the normal pass. It really makes the grind worth it and stays loyal to the free to play. Every skin is attainable (aside from store) You can also purchase individual items in the store instead of having to buy the whole bundle which is dope
Wow stone mountain playing the finals holy shit. It's happening
the finals really is underrated! such a great game
This game is so much better than its competitors. Skins are actually fire, battlepasses are cheap, easy to complete (at least to get all the premium currency out of them, theres always 1 skin thats hard to get but thats fine by me) you can get enough currency from one pass to buy the next wih some to spare and you can get premium currency by playing ranked.
The game design is original and doesnt go with fucking operators, the graphics look AAA good and the destruction is straight up unrivaled. The guns feel like the recent CODs with great animations and sounds.
And there are plenty of viable gadgets and guns and wacky strategies that actually work, its the only game i know were devs arent actively patching away fun strats. Yet it still feels mostly balanced.
i LOVE this 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
Thanks for giving The Finals some love big boi 💜
The reason people stoped talking about this game is because of how bad season 3 was, although seems like they are fixing it which is great
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
The Finals is the only game I play! So crisp/competitive and lots of destruction!
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!
Seeing all the content coming out for this game these days makes me so, so happy! Been playing this since the final beta, and I'm still loving every single match :D
best multiplayer game currently on the market 🤘glad to see other people finally starting to cover it
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.
I love this game since open beta ❤
Such a good game!!! You should make some more videos on this bro, it deserves so much more attention
Thank you for covering the game. It really needs bigger channels to give it a shot because it is actually better than most shooters out. Most unique game in a very long time
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!
The game is quality and season four is a banger! 👌🏾
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
Thank u so much for giving this game the recognition it deserves🧡
Finals is a multiplayer immersive sim arena shooter, it's S tier gaming
Skill levels of players are keeping my friends from getting into it.
My friends like to acuse people of hacking in all games. Wheh they get outplayed thats nit possible and 'The finals have a hacking problem'. Even though i play solo and with them with absolutely no issues.
Some people havent got the patients
Idk how it is now, but considering the game lost 95% of its playerbase after release due to people hacking and using controller aim assist while on mnk, i'd say your friends might be right xD
Such a good game
Playing it since the beginning... LOVE IT!
Been playing since closed beta. It’s a fantastic game. I have also had trouble getting my friends to play. It’s been a mix of my friends having their set “games” like Apex or Warzone and just not wanting to take on another. It’s a damn shame. Like you mentioned, even in more casual modes, there are complete sweats. And it can be BRUTAL to get stomped. That turns off some friends too.
Looking forward to more finals content on your channel.
Good to see the customization system being mentioned, it’s super in depth and actually fits the game well
Loved the stream and this video was very good and informative! Thank you C.O!
I’m so glad you made this video! More people need to play the finals!!!! I think the main reason people don’t play this is because they can’t run it on their computer 😢
All great games follows this secret:
Team fortress-TF
TitanFall-TF
The Finals-TF?
Holy your right!!!!!!!!!
A lot of cope in the comments. People aren’t playing this game because of the TTK and arena gameplay. Name another arena/high ttk shooter within the last decade that has done well?
It’s a niche game for a niche audience. Be happy that it appears to be financially doing well and it’s getting continued support for y’all.
Stop with the victimhood/cope about how “it’s so underrated”
!!stone mountain playing the finals?? JUNE I THINK WE MADE BIG LEAGUES
This game is picking up as loads of new players have joined as you can now notice on player cards
Love the player card changes.
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.
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!
