2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

The Finals at least is a fun as fuck game. The everything goes style also kinda makes sense considering the game is taking place in some kind of VR game show and both mocking of this kind of live service while being a live service game itself.

It's also not a hero shooter; Your dude is supposed to be you. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I feel that Finals at least has a bit of style in it - basically a dystopian corporate unserious “we are quirky” “please the rich overlords” vibe

Which sounds annoying af considering that it’s a reflection of a real world but actually works pretty well for some reason

Also cosmetics are legitimately good - finger akimbo guns, stick revolver and bao buns grenade launcher are hilarious

I do think it’s one of the reasons why game is almost dead though - style is pretty bland on the surface which is why I skipped it initially until I tried to actually play it and was hooked
