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 a toxic hellhole
  
  Well it's multiplayer 🤷
  
  Yeah sadly you can’t get away from it these days.
  
  This is why I loved thee Demon's Souls approach - single player game with crowd sourced miniboss AI.
  
  Turn off voice chat and have a great time :)
  
  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.
