Yhhh I don't see this game surviving for that $40 price tag. Too slow and uneventful atm, like someone else mentioned the mouse cursor thing on console is aggravating to say the least. The numbers look good on paper except for the fact that it's sandwiched inbetween highguard and arc so it's meaningless. The Finals isn't an extraction shooter but it feels like a much better version of what they were trying to do here, flashy and visually striking game with some nice sfx and high octane combat.
@RoomWithaMoose had the exact same thought, I'm normally willing to give a new mp game a chance especially because this one looks visually striking but damn if this didn't feel like a missed opportunity as soon as I got out of the tutorial.
It's basically what I expected from the previews, the UX is a ***** mess. Can't tell what's going on sometimes and even if what I'm looting is any good, paired with the extremely slow load times for searching containers it feels like I'm playing an rpg reading the descriptions for so long 😂 On the other hand it does look very stylish, sound design is nice and the colors pop. The game lacks some interactivity though, I know they mentioned there's some pve puzzles and stuff later on but my matches have been so stale and devoid of life it's crazy 😂 Maybe sth to keep an eye on post launch. I reckon it might be a moderate 'success', can see Sony being happy initially. Just depends on the post launch support.
@ear_wig why would they require ps plus to try this out? Given their live service games track record and the simultaneous launch on xbox and pc that would make no sense, just cannibalizing sales on your own platform atp
Probably the best one they ever had, it's for the best they left Horizon Hunters Gathering out of it. Though at the same time wonder what GG thinks of Sony's decision to do so.
@SeaDaVie highly doubt it's to do with the bad launch, I think most people are just waiting for the expansion. Because their content updates are a tad lacking, I still haven't gone back for the last festival update they pushed out haha
@Cakefish it's not even been 4 full months 😂
@Darylb88 it 'reached' 1,5m players, doesn't mean they sold a million copies.
If anything at this point we could surmise they were far off it.
@Oram77 they really tried gaslighting you like the writing wasn't on the wall already 😂 Might as well shutter Bioware at this rate, such an inadequate studio.....
Wonder if there'll be an impending lawsuit from the model or her agency looking at the depravity of some pc mods 😂 Brings the whole yagami and his agency thing to mind regarding a judgment pc port, granted he's an idol or sth but feel like this will be seen as more intrusive.
Why is The Finals mentioned in the same breath as Concord LMAO
Even its 24 hour peak is over 20x what Concord ever managed nearly a year after launch.
And that in the last week of its worst season so far 😂
Thought this was vaporware, but for all the goodies stocked in the original trailer two years ago I'm glad it isn't. Still wonder what the purpose of the jav pool was 🤔
When something like the Finals and the First Descendant do it so well in their respective genres it's unbelievable Sony managed to miss the target by this much in the hero shooter genre 😂 Should just pull the plug asap.
Never bothered with the first because of the turn based combat so looks like I'll be skipping out on this as well 😔 Also, for some reason thought the first covered the whole game, didn't know a second was ever on the way.
