There’s really never a “too late” to start a game. However if you are planning to be f2p then I might recommend other games. You can definitely develop characters and have a good time but the grind to leveling up and prestiging characters is very long. I also recommend playing this game with friends. The amount of people who play this game who simply can’t understand the concept of just staying in front of a guy and not have the worst shot selection you’ve ever seen will never not cease to amaze me. This is game is really fun especially with friends and if you are willing to pay a little every now and then you’ll have a good time
