The Finals Does What Other Games Wont
In a competitive environment, there's very little room for elements that would cause what I would call randomness when it comes to map layouts. For example, players will spend hours learning the best angles for an attack or the fastest ways to attack. Objective, so when the finals comes along and allows the levels to quite literally fall apart, especially near the end of the game in its most heated time period it creates this gameplay Dynamic that really surprised me and I feel like I genuinely haven't played it before you'll be defending an objective, an explosion will happen that you weren't expecting and all of a sudden that wall will become a pile of rubble or a source of cover that you can hide behind maybe you have a team camping on the their cash out and you can't find a way in so you make your own way in at Vault so you can deposit, okay holy [ __ ] or you bring the cash out to you or maybe you use the environment to make it as hard as possible for the other players to get their hands on that cash out there go there it goes, do inrig, damn inbark knows that this is what players are going to want to do and they allow it in Spades by placing cash outs on multi4 buildings or behind walls that deceptively, provide cover but only for so, long.
I feel like the finals is teaching me something about level design here while on the surface it seems like you can just randomly, destroy anything you want there clearly had to be a lot of thought and time put into, figuring out how this would work in a competitive setting I can't imagine the amount of testing and design they had to go through before they got this formula down and sure maybe it leads to a few games where you feel like you got cheated but that same feeling you get on the receiving end is what's going to make it so much more satisfying when you're dishing it out fantastic performance from all, [ __ ] yeah that's a for now and even though the battle was virtual Fame, is snap you'll dish out that win in any play style you want with your team at three all right the Retros the, powerhouses.
Hello, no, when starting a game you'll choose between a light a medium or a heavy class each having their own weapons equipment and specials based on their strengths you'll also share a variety of different grenades that you can use with each class now before you put too much thought into the whole class system in this game what you want to play with really just depends on your play style it's portal I'm playing Portal and I never really felt punished for playing with whatever I chose I feel that in some competition, focused games you have to play a certain class to benefit your team or you'll be at a severe disadvantage, but I've seen teams of any variety do well in the finals at least in my gameplay experience.
Powerhouses, whether it's light classes using SMGs and snipers grappling over rooftops and cloaking their way through Enemy Lines, medium classes spamming jump pads and quick-reviving each other, or heavy slamming through walls to hold down an objective, it really just comes down to how you want to.
Specials: This gave me a good opportunity to feel the weapons out and learn how they work. It's fun to spam the sh out of the pistol halfway across the map, even if it's really doing no damage. It's also fun to cause infinite damage to every building you come across, but there is still a time and place for your weapons and all of those grenades, throwing a behind.
That's what you get, as well as a number of other equipment options to choose from that I'm not even mentioning, like turrets, but besides the equipment, there's a nice variety of ranged weapons, melee weapons, and throwable weapons too, all of which are unlockable through the in-game currency that you earn as you play, so I guess that brings me to my favorite thing to talk about now that the season has passed.
This game has one every game has one now it's your pretty standard Affair you rank it up as you play separately from your player progression, 90% of the stuff you won on the season pass is locked behind a pay wall and there's a premium currency that you trade for your real currency to buy your season pass there's no getting around it this is a free game did I mention that this is a free play and the devs got to get paid this game is surely a multi-million, dollar project that's been in development, and testing for years now, and it still doesn't charge a fee for entry something I can't say about worms Rumble and I've already gotten 20 hours out of this game and had a lot of fun with it no strings attached so I feel a lot better about supporting a game like this with my money than say a $70.
Fully price game that immediately asks you for even more money to get any of the cool [__] in it, but it's all good because we give you a three-hour campaign that we put no effort into and use recycled assets with and a map list from 2009. Anyway, it seems like the season pass here in the finals will cost you about 10 bucks, or 1150.
Credits, which isn't really too bad considering that you'll get enough credits from the season pass to buy the next season pass so it basically pays for itself assuming there will be another season pass and assuming it'll be the same price and assuming you unlock all the tiers in the season pass hell there's actually a cosmetic pack in the game right now that you can buy for the same amount of credits that also includes the amount of credits that you need for the season pass so it's like buying a $10, cosmetic pack then getting a season pass free or it's like buying a season pass and getting a cosmetic pack anyways do that like you might as well do that don't just buy the season pass buy that then get the season pass or do whatever you want with the credits or don't buy anything and just play the game you can't just play the game it's fine you can play a game without spending money on.
Now that I'm done playing Devil's Advocate, let's criticize it. When you first start the game and confirm your account, they give you 150 credits of the premium currency, which gives you enough for maybe one gun skin. That being said, they do allow you to earn the premium currency too, with 75 credits at the end of the battle pass for context.
I'm 20 hours into the game and I'm not even a quarter of the way there they do have some cosmetic unlockables, for your weapons and character that are free so there are some regular progression rewards but it's pretty obvious that if you want anything remotely flash your cool you're going to have to pay up again this is a free game and a pretty damn good one at that I really wish there was a system that allowed you to earn the premium currency through gameplay, there's only so many pieces of gear and weapons that you can use your earnings for until that runs out so if there was a way to convert your base currency for a premium currency that you earn as you play I think that would be a really cool incentive to keep grinding the game outside of just the season.
