    Nothing I can really say that hasn't been echoed by so many others here. You know why it's getting trashed, it deserves every bit of the 0 scores. The gaming community has had enough of being shat upon by Evil Arts.

    No Brasil o game custa 279,90 (lembrando que a EA obriga a comprar sempre a versão mais cara, pois a versão básica pode ser muito punitiva ou absoleta após pouco tempo) e para liberar Darth Vader e outros personagens (que deveriam ser "gratuitos" já que vc comprou o game por 280 Temers) vc ainda deve gastar mais 259,99 reais. Sério.

    Battlefront II is a money-spending sim by notorious brand rapist Electronic Arts. When they're not sinking brands, they're sinking stock value and setting new lows for the gaming industry. Here, you'll find nothing more, nothing less - a stunning monolith of mediocrity and cynicism and greed.

    Play as the role as Loot Skywalker in Credit Card Wars : Gamble Front 2. The only thing that works properly in this game is the mini game where you insert your credit card details. The Android and Apple store would be proud of your achievements.

    That is capitalism at its best. But instead of competing for being the better game they compete for milking the maximum out of gamers. Its like a chef who charges you extra for for freshly ground pepper. But who is to blame?

    What could be an amazing game has been influenced by a pay to win aspect. I would have bought it but I want to enjoy a game i spent money on. I'm sorry i cant justify this

    Please don´t buy this game. EA views you as cattle and their threatment of this game proves it. Lootboxes and Pay to Win practices are damaging the Gaming Industry. The Gambling that is unavoidable with the lootbox system is dangerous to ex gambling addicts and children alike.
    For your sake and the skae of everyone else, don´t support this behaviour.

    Too bad this game got destroy by microtransaction, the gameplay is nice, graphic is pretty nice but microtransaction is the worst thing for this game. If you like free to play pay to win model you'll love it, but dont forget you need to pay 80$ for it before getting to grind like hell just to get vader and be OP

    No normal story of the company! And in multiplayer, the system works P2V system. Pay 60$, which would then have to pay 120.
    Moreover, EA said that only temporarily disables lootbox, and after the adjustments will turn it back on. Do not buy Battelfront 2! If we lose now in the near future the game will be overrun lootbox!

    Really cool gameplay and SW feeling, ruined by tons of grinding and pay to win lootboxes which gives you stronger cards for the classes/vehicles. Me and our friend was gonna buy and play so much - but no - like other Ubisoft and Activision games - we are voting with our wallets.

    I've spent about a week in this game now and I can safety say it's pretty bad. I'm not going to go into detail with the micro-transaction progression system because you've heard it elsewhere.

But it's important to understand just how terribly unbalanced that progression system makes game-play. Virtually every single match comes down to who paid for more loot crates. Every match just leaves you feeling bad. If you lose, you realize there was virtually nothing you could have done to help prevent it. And if you win, you're not sure if it's because of your own ability or if your team just had more bonuses.

    The entire game feels like it was built around the progression system. Games have just enough players to feel immersive, but few enough that you encounter the same people again and again and getting familiar with their power ups, which the game kindly shows you upon your death.

    Communication is literally non-existent. There is no chat or command function. You have absolutely zero way of coordinating an attack or defense.

    There are a lot of bugs. I've had sound drop out, run into invisible objects, gadgets not work properly, and occasionally get stuck in the environment.

    Sad truth is, even if EA and DICE decide to remove loot crates altogether, the game is fundamentally broken. It lacks the depth that even the most basic FPS has. The game was designed around a monetization scheme, and it shows.    … Expand

With MTX disabled, as logical damage control, you realize how much you actually have to grind in this game to get somewhere. It's a treadmill and you have to keep playing, since the progression is tied to upgrades, unlike Overwatch, where you get everything gameplay right from the start. So they create a powercreep and Veterans/players who simply spend more time, will be stronger by default and not by trheir skill alone.

    Also very important, the lootboxes are currently disabled, since they don't wanna be the guys who offer gambling for kids on releaseday and save their precious sales. But P2W is still very present. You can still buy the Deluxe Edition, which gives you epic Star Card upgrades for $20 more and the P2W system was active the whole beta, they just turned it off before release. So all the whales could buy all the lootcrates they want and have a huge advantage now, while all the underequipped lowbies become cannonfodder to these people. There is no reset, people keep their progression and bought stuff.

    This game is a disgrace and EA is a morally bankrupt company, preying on their gullible targetaudience who can be treated like dogs.

    On top of that, the campaign was short, gameplay felt wrong and had some questionable scenes that doesn't fit established characters. This game is supposed to be 'canon', but I hope it's not.

    Apart from the great Starfighter Assault mode Battlefront II is a mess of conflicting ideas, uneven mechanics and of course questionable monetization practices. DICE is facing long months of salvaging the game and the studio’s good name. [01/2018, p.32]

    Even the tinsel of the Star Wars world cannot hide the silly story and the boring singleplayer gameplay, or the necessity to accumulate the credits in the crate hunting in multiplayer. Battlefront II pleases as a genuine shooter in the beautiful scenery, but EA should deserve a slap into the face for their mad progression system.
