[@lampytoot1868]

Haha I did not know that! History repeating I guess

[@lltalionll]

@@lampytoot1868 It would have been perfect if other former cod devs who sold their souls to EA could have released Titanfall 3 at the same time while using the popularity of Apex Legends to not repeat the Titanfall 2 disaster. It would have been an ex cod vs bf vs cod devs battle ^^ but we'll never get that one anyway (damn every good dev have quit activision blizzard, deserved). Some devs have sold their souls to ubisoft (still disapointed about hyper scape) and others to EA. I hope that the devs of The Finals will remain loyal to themselves for the future of the game (well everything is not perfect, don't forget that there's also a demon lying in the background named Nexon). In the end both game are really great (but dam it's ubisoft behind one of them, that's stinks).

[@Iykyk13]

Cult is a good way to describe the community 😅

I think I have like 300hrs in The Finals. I quit when they nerfed the stun instead of adding a counter to it. I’m playing again for the first time in a month. Thought I would never return but I think I can get over it now. I’ve spent like over a hundred dollars on this game easily. I’d be lying if I said I don’t love this game; but I don’t respect devs removing entire play styles.

[@Chadpr0]

The Finals devs are the old DICE Team, who developed Battlefield till BF1.

[@craignp007]

i think the finals has the edge. Ran into a lot more obvious cheaters in xdefiant already where i havent noticed it as much in the finals.

[@echo7project904]

thats because it has less players and the cheater era of the finals has slightly dwindled off

I’m an XD hater but I’ve enjoyed it here and there, I think I’ll probably like it more and more especially after 6 months to a year from now. If they did the issues with the hit detection and stuff like that. I’m a huge The Finals lover and I hope more people will try it out, matches like cash out require good strategy but stuff like powershift are just dumb fun.

@axolet I mean understand that but you can still try them out

​@@axolet you have one game downloaded?

[@drjonesey5]

@@axolet Understood, I work 10 hrs a day, but you don't have to play both daily or one for 10 hrs when you can. It depends on your objective. If your goal is fun mixed with winning, you can play both, if your objective is to get so good at a game and grow, that the focus should be 1 game not both. Being that most working adults are casuals, it shouldn't matter if you play both or not. I'm the type of person who likes to dominate, so rarely can I focus on both, therefor the way I do things is, I focus on 1 game and when I need a break from that 1 game, I will use the other game as my break game. Playing 50-100 matches of a singular game can burn you out of that particular game for the rest of the day or so. But you may still have the itch to play something, so I'd pick up something else.

[@soldierplays4616]

In the finals even if I get 5 kills and go negative I am never frustrated. Idk why it’s just so satisfying jipping around and trying to take a team down

[@misterfung]

Every once in a while i find a player who blows the hugest spaz over dying and stuff, im like whoa dude! This is so fun why you so mad? Its not a game to play if you blow a lots of spazzes over games and throw your controller. But if your there to have fun, man, its the most fun even when everytning is exploding and you die! Taking down the building with you or pulling off some silly heroism is satisfying enough!

[@misterfung]

I started on THE FINALS during open beta, was kinda stoked for xDefiant as well. Gave xDefiant a good go but ultimately The Fianls won for me personally. Its so unique and manic and has such great pure destruction insanity that directly affects the game play and outcome of each round, i just cant get enough!

ahaha i love how raw ur voiceover is, no cuts to stutters or any mispronounciation, just straight up winging it.

[@lumzy8421]

9:59 There is an incredibly consumer friendly tactic that Embark uses with their battle pass. The tiers have a growing xp system to level the battle pass, so initial tiers only take 6k xp to tier up, and then over time increases to 9k, 12k and so on. This way it feels very rewarding for people that just want a quicker playthrough to get their coins back. But after the 9th page is where it ramps up the difficulty to progress the bp for the people that have stuck with the game over 20 hours and want something that gives them a purpose to grind. This way both the grinders win and the people that just want to make back the 950 coins to purchase the bp the next season also win.

[@lumzy8421]

That's likely why it felt so fast to progress through, I find it very rewarding and then challenging once I get towards the end

[@ImNotFine44]

Is this even a question? Obviously finals

[@TrizollinTehWorld]

I play both but I enjoy the finals more. It's more unique, more fluid and dynamic. Every game feels different, there are so many free unlockable cosmetics that you never need to spend any money but it also has one of the best monetization models I've seen in any f2p shooter. You can buy single items out of any bundle, they constantly give away free skins for challanges and I just got an email from embark with a free skin and free coins. They clearly love the game and they're treating the playerbase with respect and not trying to aggressively grab our wallets. If they had the halo bp system where they never expire it would be the best monetized game in f2p history.

[@gatogamer1336]

The finals is the best fps ever

[@misterfung]

ahmen

[@TheGodlyGamerMugen]

The finals rewards you for creativity and to me that’s way more fun people think the finals is basic or boring because they don’t take the time to try and really learn about it it’s way way more fun than any fps rn

From a gamer who was never a big fan of FPS games... The Finals has me HOOKED!

[@JadShak-j1q]

BTW Embark mostly conists of ex tripple a games such as dice and respawn if im not mistaken, that was the reason they can come up with such a good game thats unique

[@danminoru]

xdef is a good between games. I playing a lot. But the thing it has nothing new in the game, nothing that makes we stick to the game. BF is classic vehicle/infantry in large scale COD is classic arcade mil shooter The Finals is really something new, heist pvp game with crazy mechanics i really hope the game survives Xdef takes something from a shooter here, something from other shooter and mix everything with success but nothing new

[@salvarialexandru9134]

Tried Xdefiant, at first it was fun but after some time i noticed the time to kill is soo quick i hate it, if he starts shooting first there is noting you can do, even if u get cover he still has an advantage, just my personal opinion

[@l.a.sr.2958]

Plus, all the "one tap bunny-hoppers" killing you around every corner. 👎🏿

[@tekklord]

Xdefiant feels like a normal Cod with Heros, without the bs skins. But the finals feels like a completely new, creativ and special thing. Edit : and yes, the finals have weird and colorful skins, but it doesnt feels off setting, bc it isnt a Military shooter. Its a freaking vr game Show.

[@yungeggroll]

I thought i was gonna play xdefiant for longer, but i just ended up stopping before blitz, bandit, and Jager came out. Not necessarily bored of it, just dont have the urge to play it. Maybe im tired of run and gun games. I recently picked up the finals and its been very fun.

[@BADSKILZ_5049]

Short ANSWER:THE FINALS 👍

[@bacaveli]

Both. The answer is to play both games.

[@kevinlee3191]

The final is better more content.. great gunplay and most important no net code issue

Comparing The Finals which was made by old Battlefield underdogs to Xdefine made by Ubisoft who makes games on fucking one production line and destroys with passion their biggest FPS game (R6). : )

I found myself playing The Finals first to get the daily contracts, making sure every Thursday I also do all weekly contracts and then I'm free to jump into XDefiant for a more TDM style 👍🏻

[@pablomendesfaria]

The Finals is original and unique. In technical terms, it is better in everything. And for me it's also much more fun, which is what really matters. I play both, but I invest much more in The Finals.

[@Rockyroad321]

The finals obviously. This isn’t even a debate. Xdefiant is a basic shooter and the finals is an entirely fresh take on the shooter genre.

[@dadakakadada]

the finals forever

[@JohnnyBananas7x]

XDefiant has one more game mode thats it. The modes in the finals are better. Xdefiant has 5 modes and The finals has 4. The finals is beating every game is skins, battle pass etc.

You should have used the footage of the syshorizon map in day mode. Actually any map in day mode so people could understand how amazing the maps are in this game!

[@alexandrechristopher1136]

Xdefiant is a decent game based on a 10 years old gameplay The Finals is the most unique and creative FPS I've played in 28 years of existence The answer is pretty clear to me

[@dc3747]

​@Yoshi92 I don't even know if the first dude has played it, but the game isn't bad. The only currently is weapon balancing and bugs,which is expected. Ubisoft, as far as I'm aware,and I think even the ceo interpreted it as well, that they're letting the developers make the game and letting the community give feedback. I don't know about the finals but cod for example,doesn't really take feedback. If you tweet Mark Rubin (guy in charge of xdefiant) and suggest a change or an idea,he'll likely hear you out

[@deathloop935]

If you like easy arcade shooter with zero recoil and easy 3 lanes maps play Xdefiant, if you like skilled arena shooter with much chaos and teamwork play the finals. I play really many fps games famous ones and unknowns and the finals is really something else it’s fresh and the learning curve is the key to getting better.

These two aren't comparable anyway. Both very different. Finals is for sure try hard objective modes, while Xdefiant is casual fun. When I play Finals I roll eyes sometimes knowing I am gonna have to try carry a bad team and sometimes trying to do that is fun but sometimes it's awful. Also Finals has that BR feel bad of been able to get sniped from across the map without seeing them. While Xdefiant I just go in not worrying about anything get some kills and call it a day and snipers are great in Xdefinat but at least I see them and they aren't hidden on some scaled building just camping.
