After playing The Finals, the two-time champion Dr Disrespect revealed his opinions on the upcoming FPS shooter.

Embark Studios dropped The Finals closed beta on March 7, allowing those lucky enough on PC to receive a code the chance to experience the upcoming free-to-play shooter, which promises exciting action and a unique game mode for multiple platforms.

Fans of Dr Disrespect will know full well how fed up with Warzone 2 the streamer is, as well as his feelings on the lack of new FPS games. Well, The Finals gave the Doc an opportunity to finally play something new after praising some gameplay he watched from JackFrags.

After playing The Finals closed beta for quite a few hours, the Doc seemed to enjoy his overall experience, sharing his opinions on the game during his March 8 live stream.

Dr Disrespect said that he’d be curious to see how The Finals “evolves,” as he “loved the agility, the movement,” and innovative gameplay, as players rush to qualify by earning cash.

That said, the streamer does feel that the game definitely needs some “tuning,” mentioning aspects that need changes such as the “turret” and “grenade launchers,” which he describes as “underwhelming.”

However, the main aspect of the game that Dr Disrespect believes “needs to evolve” to retain “long-term [interest]” is the game mode. Doc suggests leaning a “little bit more heavier into the competitive aspect of the game,” mentioning a similar format to Apex believing that Embark Studios may have been influenced by Respawn’s battle royale with the movement.

While he feels the game needs changes, the Doc does say it’s “all part of this whole closed-beta [situation],” inferring that the game will change as we edge closer to a full launch.

We’ll have to wait and see if the Doc’s advice is addressed as The Finals continues to be updated by the devs, with the March 9 patch notes being revealed.
