I've been playing The Finals recently and I still love that game, it's a blast. They just introduced an experimental solo mode which is great for when you don't have a team of 3.
For those that like Battlefield and want to see some cool destruction I highly recommend checking it out.
I started playing this yesterday.
After a few very positive COD posts by me, they just seem to have been unable to stop the rampant cheating. Before this weekend, I stopped playing for 10 days. I logged back on Saturday afternoon to see the last thign I did, report a cheater, was confirmed
I palyed one game, and actualyl won. But I know this is COD's tactic. If you haven't played in a bit, they will put you in an easier lobby to get you to want to keep playing before putting you back in a lobby with cheaters. I took my one win and walked off. I'm sure I'll come back, but I need a break. It's no fun when you are constantly playing against people who will use any cheating tactic to get around the system (there was a new reWASD PC app that allowed keyboard and mouse players to get aim assist, apparently now banned, but from my understanding it's mostly talk and people can still use it, along with a cronus or anything else that people have and continue to use). Point being, the game is in a bad state once again with cheating and it's not fun to play.
I had been playing PUBG the last two weeks instead. They have a new map and it's an incredibly challenging game, but also very rewarding. It's so annoying how they put you in literal bot lobbies until you get your feet wet, but I finally got out of that and was having some fun and got a couple wins, BUT this is such an old game. Even with a new map, I'm just not loving it (and I feel it's because its too challenging and I need to commit myself a lot more to get competitive at it).
So that leads me to The Finals. Heard a lot about this game from my tiktok as the next "COD killer" which we all know is BS, but it's free and figured I'd play it for an afternoon. It's a lot of fun. Very arcadey. High TTK, lots of ways to play, and the full destruction of the map is probably the best part about it all. Looking forward to digging into it more this week since as a noob, I can't really play a lot of different ways until I unlock things, but being a heavy and buldozing through the walls is so much fun. Gun play seems to be solid too. Had some good games yesterday, but I want to get better.
