Embark will you listen now?! COME ON

to anyone who said the number doesn't mean anything. seriously, face the reality. that's how you can improve by admitting what is not done well enough. I've said it so many times and stop help Embark justifying those design choices. It doesn't matter how you feel personally. It's whether it actually works or not. the truth is it's not. No matter how you sugar coat it. but then again most are just casual gamers without any professional knowledge so i don't blame you guys.

to anyone who is still cheating, yeah you've won but good luck with your money going down the drain when the game shut down. probably play as much as possible now as it won't last forever.

to the designer behind the mechanics and game levels for The Finals, you've screwed it up big time. But, there's still way to fix this. Shift the focus to make the game feel fun to play. Get someone who actually plays your game to actually have a say on the direction and determination to push for priorities, such as dealing cheaters before so called balance and nerfing.

Majority of your players abandoned this game as they don't find it fun to play. It's not what's promised in the trailer. No matter how many trailer or ads you put out. as soon as they tried the game and realise it's a mess they will just quit. Season 2 number says it all. We thought you came back but no it's just boring and more grinding. When can you understand this? Your nerf ruined all the fun element and magnified all the issues the game always had. If you did a good job on those foundation elements then yeah it could've worked but you're literally ruin your own game by missing the mark. All those little bugs could've been neglected if it was just messing around and having fun. Until you get all serious about e-sports competitive things and trying to nerf everything to the ground with only few meta builds that's playable which gets repetitive and boring after short period of time. All of those combination went out of the door as there's only few ways to play the game. Seriously, it's not too late. or just hire me.

I know how to bring it from the dead. It's not new mode, it's not new guns it's not new maps. it's actually trying to make the game fun first before anything else or any gimmick. What you're doing now is what Steve Jobs once quoted, it's a sinking ship and your priority is pointing the ship in the right direction. Do you agree?

It's a wake up call and if you don't change direction drastically i can say with certainty that this game won't even make it till the end of this year. From what I heard about the stuff you guys are working on for season 3? i don't look forward to it. But maybe you think it will. i guess time will tell and see if Nexon agree with you on the approach you heading.

700+ hours, diamond, still I don't find any reason to play anymore.

700 is a good run bud. Most games aren't fun beyond that. No dev can keep up with people no-lifing their game.

[|Sec9|B0nd3n[ucc]]

just because they said it didnt perform as good as they wanted doesnt mean the game is dying it just didnt perform as well as they wanted it to

[VaporeonCunny]

Live service games are lucky to survive past 3-6 months, The Finals is no different if your 700+ hrs into a game and your not enjoying it, I have great news. They all stop being fun and end up becoming distractions. Learn to examine and experience your favorite media in new lights. Go study history or learn a trade and accept the fact that modern developers don't make games for fans.

I have 780+ hours since release and had over 300 hours between alpha, cb1, cb2 and ob and im still playing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[JIM HELL]

The man is right, the game is way too sterile and needs more power and more fun and more wackiness.

Here's something I thought of in 2 seconds:

Map variation where If one team is too far in the lead, a power shift platform with 10 gun turrets hunts them and rams their buildings and sieges the cashouts (only hostile against them). No its not fair but who fkn cares. Its FUN.

[JIM HELL]

And the pirate ship should launch nukes at them too....

[RelaxForGoodAim]

Or DM on smaller versions of original maps.

Stop obsessing over things you don't understand. You could literally have taken half the time it took to type that out and just learned about what you were trying to talk about.

Pro Tip: If an article has to speak for you then you don't know what you're talking about.
