    EA Battlefront 2 is not an actual game. This is a platform for microtransactions and lootboxes. Hostile and aggressive anti-consumer attitude towards players have ruined, what could have been a fun and enjoyable experience.

    I wanted a game and I got different modes stitched together and inconsistent first and third person views, it feels thrown together and has no core, do not waste your money. Sad to see a great brand squeezing the life out of it's loyal customers with all its evil force. Shame on you EA & Dice, you blew it.

    whats the backbones of game. ground combat have great maps like hoth or kashyk but if you compare the battlefront 2015 maps like jakku so close counter focused and boring mostly. clone wars have difffrent mods which close to battlefield and old battlefronts but the fail to deliver air vehicles and hangar take off which in the game if you look single player.
    story as all dice games its not the best but also not bad like people said its not jedi story more like trooper drama which uses good on vehicles too. there is jedi mission which is good but too bad game not use any sith or classic movie duel storyies. in all com dice games story below the battlefield 3 single but def above the battlefield 4 and battlefront 2015 was not have single.
    arcade in this game amainz es with mods. there is ton of mods like skyrim chaning game many diffrent ways battle of endor to comic book star wars or even have split screen support. offline section suported in new patch greatly to like instan action mode.
    ABOUT LOOTBOX. funny thing is loot or box whatever in this game never be issue bcouse there was like almost same as battlefield 1 or old battlefield upgrade packs the thing was progression was bugged and if you dont get good on game make you punish kinda bcouse heros like vader cost goodamount of progress or in gamecredit. in all the story everyknow know not have any loot but is this things change no. vader unllocked freely or reduced heros ans skins count but in all in battleffont 2 if you finsih the game with 1 or 2 kills or no objective play you still need good amount of time to unlock things es cars which everybody using epic cards you become lesser. but in all if you was batllefied player or old battlefront player and make your kills like 4 or 6 and playing objective even in start you exprience not make you think oh **** the game. it was overrated by media and fans. for ex unlucing vader was took 10 matches maybe if you are medium player which vader is hero not the actual battle thig area. like in battlefield the solders here in the key. there was more bigger issues like heacy class bomber like abilty wipe everyone ass when firing like death star. but as youu see non player or media not know that bcouse ı guess they dont play like 5 hours something as you expecting. overal better than battlefront 2015 but some of things from bf 2015 still stay decent textures or weaponry map like sulust or jakku . bf 2015 sadly dlcs have sparate servers make harder to find onine. the same media gives bf2015 no loot game 6 its no expecting they give bf2 more than 7 which for 7 battlefront dam low score if you think game touch all star wars.    … Expand

    This game HAD so much potential. I refuse to play it anymore after 10 hrs due to loot boxes and the coming micro transactions. Having paid $60, I believe I paid for the game already and $60 is a lot of money! Enough is enough. Not the way to make a game!! EA is evil. They are NOT gamers!

    Good :

    - graphics
    - Star wars universe
    - action

    Bad :

    - too little liberty with the frustrating message : "go back to the gaming area"
    - the spaceship driving with a keyboard is a nightmare
    - too repetitive

    This is not a game.
    It's a glorified pachinko application.
    The story is shallow, and the game is purely pay to win.
    This game had so much potential, but like everything EA touches, ruined it.
    The online play is atrocious, with lag, rubber banding, and the pay to win progression totally ruining the game and rendering it unplayable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like SWBFII, but I just don't. Despite the microtransactions, this game is a generally terrible game.

    CAMPAIGN:
    I was very excited for the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront II, getting to play as someone from the Empire's side to see their point of view looked very interesting. However, the campaign was anything but interesting. The campaign felt like pointless shooting and running around. And not to mention, the main protagonist turned to the Rebels about 5 missions in, going against the whole point of seeing something from the Empire's point of view. Overall, a disappointing and bad campaign.

    MULTIPLAYER:
    I have always liked Star Wars Battlefront multiplayer, big 20 v 20 battles with heaps of vehicles, heroes and action. However, Star Wars Battlefront II's multiplayer isn't that.

    The Battlepoints system is trash, the reason being that you will have sweaty kids running around at the start of the game trying so hard to get their Battlepoints so they can unlock their heroes. So then about 5 little sweats unlock their heroes and play as them for the rest of the game. This completely ruins it for the newer, less skilled or casual players who want to experience Battlefront II. Every time I would save enough Battlepoints to unlock a hero, it would go to the spawn screen and have the message pop up saying "Max number in play", what a disappointment. And I will never get to play as a hero that game either, since the sweats that unlock the heroes at the start, stay as heroes the whole game since now heroes have health regen. That's why I liked the original random drop system in Battlefront (2015), this would give the opportunity for any lucky player to stumble upon a hero pickup and get to play as their favourite character. Yes, there would be people who'd learn the spots and simply sit there and wait, but that could've easily been fixed by generating them randomly at random positions. Not to mention how very little heroes there are in the game.

    Battlefront II's servers are absolute trash. I play with 22ms ping to the Australian server and still manage to rubberband, get shot behind corners and aim directly at someone yet have no shots hit. I don't know why this is happening, but it is. So many other players complain about this in the game chat so I know it is not a problem specific to me (I have cable internet with 11ms, 115mbps down & 2mbps up) according to speedtest.net, so I know my internet is not the problem.

    The matchmaking and team balance in Battlefront II is a mess. Every game I play is one-sided. Either we are getting smashed or smashing the other team. This ties in with the hero and Battlepoints problem I stated earlier, there are always those 3 or 4 people who stay in heroes the whole game and never seem to die, making them smash everyone else and making the game not fun.

    The vehicle balancing in SWBFII is absolutely horrible. Especially when I play on any map with AT ST's. There will always be those two players spending the whole game in their AT-ST while everyone on the Rebel side gets basically nothing. There needs to be a specific class made for blowing sh*t up, which would make vehicles so much more manageable.

    Overall, Star Wars Battlefront II is a generally terrible game and I have had very little fun playing it. I 100% regret buying this and since I bought a physical copy with a code inside, I have no way of refunding it. DICE need to make major changes to this game to persuade me to come back. For the meantime, I'll be sticking with Titanfall 2.    … Expand

    MP: Poor map design which results in meat grinder situations where 40 players fight for a small portion of land. Playing the objective is not incentivised enough resulting in no one playing the objective. Heroes broken/unbalanced for months after release. Heroes are awarded to good players resulting in even more unbalanced matches, so games are usually face rolls. Also something is wrong with servers and matchmaking. I played on some maps constantly, barely on some and NEVER on one or two maps, and I played for around 25h!

    Its still quite broken and unbalanced with the developer playing Bungie role keeping everything to themselves instead of having an open conversation with fans. To sum up I bought the game after 2 months of release. Payed around 2/3 of the original price, but still am quite disappointed.    … Expand

Made warse all the details that there in the first part. Idiotic interface covering the whole screen. Idiotic gameplay. And microtransactions of course. Finally it's not game. It's bad mod for Battlefield 1. Very bad mod.

    I first picked up BF2 from Origin at about mid 2018.
    By this time, the loot box controversy was addressed and all of the P2W elements were replaced by a new progression system.
    Now, i have picked the game for about 25$, because i kinda liked the previous title, and mainly ignored the 1.1 user review score that was given here. Now, more than 200 hours into the game, i guarantee you    I first picked up BF2 from Origin at about mid 2018.

    Now, i have picked the game for about 25$, because i kinda liked the previous title, and mainly ignored the 1.1 user review score that was given here.

    Now, more than 200 hours into the game, i guarantee you that this game doesn’t deserve the huge backlash it received, for a number of reasons.
    First of all, this is not the first nor the last game to use micro transactions. In fact, after the new progression system patch, the game has become the only game i know that you can access fully without having to pay a dime. (Free DLC - where can you find that?)

    So with that said, ill explain what are the pros and cons from the perspective of a CASUAL gamer, cause if you are a competitive type of feller, i am afraid that you will be better avoiding the game, or trying to understand that it isn’t meant to be a competitive shooter of some sort.

    First of all, the multiplayer.
    There are plenty of modes, that some of them may appeal to you and some may not at all.
    For example, i never play the Starfighter mode, simply because i dont like it, not because its bad or anything.
    There are other modes, bigger and smaller, such as Blast which is basically team death match, Galactic Assault which is biggest one, and simulates a battle between two enemy factions based on different objectives for each map. Its a very dynamic mode.
    Another new big mode which is my favorite, is Capital Supremacy, which i will not get into details of, but check it out cause its cool.

    Also a favorite of mine, are the Hero Showdown (which is great if you have a friend willing to coordinate attacks with you) and the Heros VS Villians modes, which are very casual fun modes (pretty unbalanced, however) that shine because of their accuracy to the SW movies and are very appealing to people who like the SW universe of characters, and lets you play as iconic ones such as Obi Wan, Vader, Palpatine and etc. in a sort of power fantasy manner.

    Overall the multiplayer modes are very nice, fun, lore accurate and chaotic while calculated, even if somewhat unbalanced and a bit buggy, which makes the game not very appealing to hardcore gamers,

    The gameplay has improved drastically over the last title, and is appropriate for a triple A shooter however it may take some getting used to.

    There is also a campaign mode, that i would look at as a nice bonus for the true Star Wars fans who will appreciate a nice cameo of an iconic character here and there. The story won’t win any awards, but is nice to have,

    A huge pro that this game has is its visual aspect.
    Now, say what you will about EA, but they sure do know how to make their games look fantastic.
    Search for photos and you will understand what i am talking about; all the models and assets are near 100% accurate to the movies and look even better than the CGI from Episode 1 , for instance.
    All of this while performance is great, i have a graphics card from 2012 which runs the game on almost max settings and a stable 60 fps, and loading screens have been improved and are now very short if you have a decent CPU and an ok hard drive.

    I think that by this point the game has a lot of content, with a lot of maps, heros, and modes, and the game’s biggest con is the poor balancing in some of the modes. Also, despite the fact that the game received overall decent support since it’s launch, there are some things that could make the game a far more appealing experience, such as private matches, that are being asked for a long time and yet to be added. That is why i am conflicting with myself how i would rate this game, because on the one hand, it’s a really impressive and most of all fun game, but on the other it lacks some things that could make it a lot better.

    It is worth saying that as far as community goes this game has a relatively large and nice community and 2 great community managers that do everything they can to bridge between the dev team to the players, which is worth pointing out.

    The game costs currently around 7 USD, and for me it was worth my 25$, so watch some gameplay and do what you will.    … Expand

    I bought the game a week ago, despite the mess and controversy. Honestly? This game is beautiful. graphics, sounds, gameplay. BUT! You can't help to feel deceived. This is definitely not a game by gamers to gamers. It's just another product for a specific demographic that serves as nothing more than a money-making platform.

BUT! You can't help to feel deceived. This is definitely not a game by gamers to gamers. It's just another product for a specific demographic that serves as nothing more than a money-making platform.

    Despite the great things about this game, you can't ignore the purposefully limited (and severely restricted) progression, uninspired story mode, Single-player lacking on features, and, of course, the whole inexcusable and embarrassing PR approach from EA.

    If this game was done 10 years ago, it would've been a masterpiece. Back when developers made great games in order to make money to make more amazing games. We live in dark times.

    My suggestion is an overhaul to the progression system that makes it fun and fair for the player and addition of all the multiplayer features to single-player. If they want to charge for DLC, then great! Just make sure they are expansions, rich in content. DLC/Expansions are great and worth it, when done right.

    8 hours later, I really want to play this game to enjoy the wonderful world of Star Wars, but after this short amount of time, I don't really feel like starting the game anymore. Getting 100cr per battle, limited Arcade options and an extremely short and lackluster story gives this game ZERO replay value.    … Expand

ALL the pay to win players bought ALL their cards during the Early Access and THEN when normal players have access to the game, they take that option away from them.. haha... Absolutely bass ackwards at best. Great fix EA. Don't get me wrong... the actual content in the game is stunningly gorgeous, hands down the best of any Star Wars anything. It has plenty of great moments and very nostalgic, IF you can get a good match. Currently the game still doesn't even have lobby rotations of any kind.. all the good players end up on one team in a server and that's that. You usually NEVER get on a decent team because all the openings are on the **** teams where people have already rage quit and you take their place on the shyte team. So much fun... When you finally get on a good team and are able to get some points, after about 3 rounds it becomes stupid boring and you can literally just sit around and goof off.. which is fun sometimes I won't lie. Essentially either I find myself rage quitting from impossible situations or bored out of my mind due to other team being full of completely terrible players. WTF DICE.. this is Dice' fault, they are notorious for this and completely inept at figuring out a solution for 0% balancing. I'm giving this game a 6/10 from the aspect of a good player able to at least potentially overcome **** situations and have a bit of fun... and I'm giving the game 0/10 for casual players who want to just have a good experience from the perspective of a trooper.. you better off watching the movies and won't hate yourself as much.… Expand

    I don't care what people say, I like this game. Great action, amazing visuals, being able to play offline, and a semi-competent campaign style mode. It can feel repetitive at times, but I'm fine with that. If you play it just an hour or two at a time, It won't be repetitive. Overall it is a pretty good game.

I don't want to start the crash grab multiplayer. I see interesting characters, some good but a bit short campaign, nice story, nice graphics, nice music. It isn't long, it isn't replayable, but it is fun while it lasts. And as it is part of an already good subscription, there is no reason not to play it.

    Plenty of good (often non-EA) games at a reasonable price. I will enjoy plenty of games, and would only buy favorites I want to keep, and even then I get a discount... So for me, that sub looks like a good deal and for subscribers this game worths the time spent downloading it.

    I don't care about MP so I get nothing out of that. It's all about SP campaigns for me. Ideally, with an online co-op option (i.e. Dying Light, Soulsborne, etc.).

    As for optimization, there were quite a few bugs to iron out on the Origin copy (thankfully, a few google searches fixed all issues). I was also surprised to see the length of the loading times take so long. If the Witcher 3 can load faster on my PC (i7, GTX1080, 16GB RAM), that's probably a red flag to the developer. I can only imagine what they're like on console.

    Either way, if you're looking for a fun Star Wars game to play, pick this one up. I don't feel any post-purchase regret buying this at $20 because I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign ( i also listened to the Inferno Squad audiobook beforehand so that gave some decent context to the characters).

    All that said, I LOATHED the first Battlefront game. It was pretty but boring.

    Battlefront 2 took two steps forward, one step back. You could tell that the EA execs simply couldn't resist. Which is a shame because this was a pretty fun game, single-player-wise.    … Expand

    Anyways, this review is a continuation of my Battlefront 2015 review.

    Anyways, by that retarded logic, the retarded stereotypes made by the braindead retarded cumchugging pedophile Americans in a vocal minority about anime and manga would make every creator, even respected ones like Ghibli because of their "merchandise" and some retarded haters online sell their merchandise or have difficulty doing so because of a retarded vocal minority's stereotypes a "Fallen Creator" even though they are instead examples of "Creator Worship" like Square Enix is. Now lastly, they brought up Square Enix's view of the popularity of their games, Square Enix's view of the popularity of their games is factually that Final Fantasy is wildly successful overseas and in Japan where their target audience is since Square Enix is in Japan. Dragon Quest wasn't as successful in the West overall as it was in the East for awhile. That's perfectly fine and it's a fact their fans know that as well since Japan is their target audience and localization takes time. Dragon Quest xi especially took awhile and it is considered by Square Enix but more specifically Dragon Quest fans to be a masterpiece and is another thing especially more recently Square Enix is positively known for. That's a fact. there may have been a time where they weren't AS well liked but as a company they were always generally well liked by their fans, the public and haven't ever "fallen out of public favor" and that's a fact. They've always been a good company and that's fact, despite the mistakes they've made. Lastly was that Kingdom Hearts was especially popular in Japan but especially as well in the West and that the series is a pretty considerable success. The retards named "tropers" attempted to say that it's a series that has a "Kudzu Plot" and that that apparently makes the fans not like the series even though the facts point to the opposite and that complex story or not, it's a well liked series. And Kingdom Hearts doesn't have a "Kudzu plot" either you retards and that's fact, Tetsuya Nomura made the decision to make the most complex story he is able and make it work, not Square Enix. It's a pretty complex story but it has no "Kudzu Plot" and that's fact. Also, trope-speak is retarded cancer, it's like listening to a retard after he injects heroin into his balls. Square Enix though as well as the Bravely Default Team were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of positive fan feedback and it lead to Square Enix considering to make more games similar to Bravely Default. That's an extraordinarily positive fan and company relationship. Not to mention Square Enix made games like The World Ends With You which gave them a pretty considerable amount of additional respect as well. They helped PlatinumGames work on Nier: Automata as well and that gave Platinum Games as well as Square Enix even more respect, Square Enix as well decided not to have any DRM for their games. Lastly the development hell for FFXV doesn't change anything honestly, yeah it's not the masterpiece it was thought it was going to be but it's a pretty great game either way, the development hell there was divisive but not genuinely negative for Square Enix at any rate and that's fact. The fact it managed to be a pretty great game despite the development issues speaks volumes by itself. Also no matter what some retarded braindead cucktards on a retarded cumchugging pedophile website like may say, Square Enix is factually a good company, they are factually considered a good company, they are factually generally well liked by their fans as well if not worshiped by their fans, they factually have always been in the favor of the overall public, a vocal minority of braindead American retards don't matter at all in an actual reputation and that's fact, they factually haven't ever fallen out of favor with the general public and they factually won't ever, they clearly haven't and you can tell by looking at the sheer positivity and positive feedback of their fans as well as their constant overall support and they are well liked by the public or not "out of favor" with the general public, not necessarily liked or disliked. Square Enix though is a good company, is in favor with the public and generally pretty well liked by their fans and that's all fact. Everything I have said here in response is fact. Disagree and you are factually wrong and retarded, I speak the truth about retards.

    Also there is not "Star Fox knockoff" or "Space Invaders knockoff" in Nier: Automata and it's not too inconsistent either and that's all fact, even though knockoff or the word knockoff doesn't necessarily indicate anything negative. Nier: Automata is a masterpiece as well. As are games like Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2 and likely Kingdom Hearts 3 will be. Virtually every Kingdom Hearts game is pretty excellent though actually.

    After almost 2 years, from a full of microtransactions game, this game is now turned into something that people don't have to pay a tons of money to enjoy. Visual and SFX are great, and new maps/characters that everyone likes. There are still a few things that I'd like to point out still:

Devs are    After almost 2 years, from a full of microtransactions game, this game is now turned into something that people don't have to pay a tons of money to enjoy. Visual and SFX are great, and new maps/characters that everyone likes. There are still a few things that I'd like to point out still:
    1. The servers are garbage, connection is often terrible
    2. The campaign is medicore.
    3. Devs are still not great with handling pvp balance.
    4. The contents updates are decent, but usually comes with a lot of problems as well.
    5. Inconsistencies are everywhere.
    6. Matchmake system makes no sense

    If you are a star wars fan, this is not a bad game to pick. It's not perfect, but for $5, actually it's quite a lot.    … Expand

    The game has grown since its initial launch back in November 2017. Battlefront 2 has gotten much content that has helped the game grow.
    It has become an enjoyable multiplayer game for star wars fans like my self. Its also gotten cheap and is often on sale.

    P.S Don't bother with the campaign its trash

    Combar sucks. Weapons feel like toys. Shooting something has noo feedback. There's huge amount of clutter on the screen along with flashy animations.

    the perk system is rage inducing. They give HUGE and OBVIOUS advantage to the owner. Some of them buff "spacial classes" to the point where they SLAUGHTER whole groups of enemies without giving any chance of fighting back.

    Guys, even for 10$ game ain't worth it. If you want some really good gunshooting mechanic... Just play Destiny 2 or even Fortnite.    … Expand

It takes me back to the 80's. If EA has made this game a Starship battle game alone i would have been happy.. Instead you have these annoying missions in the middle that cant decide what type of game they want to be. I still play Battlefield 4, such an amazing game, then EA take that engine and turn it into a Star Wars game, and a bad one at that. The multiplayer is terrible also, so im not bothered about the microtransactions as will never play it. Would grab it on sale on Origin, but never buy it fill price as the only decent thing about it is the Starship battles and the rest is just Meh!… Expand

    The line of sight in third-person point of view is frustratingly misrepresented on the screen. If you are dealing with any corner situation where you want to peak around and take a shot, you're likely to shoot the wall even if your reticule is in the clear. The game does provide a visual cue to let you know when the crosshairs are really, really in the clear. The cue they presnt is a gray X to the left of our crosshairs. This puts you in the situation of trying to line up your target around a corner in a tense situation, but then up pops a second crosshair X, and it's just plain annoying. This is a long-standing issues with games that are in third-person POV. I don't know what the solution is. Maybe the player should be forced into first person point of view when he/she takes cover.

    Another control mechanic that was on the fail side for me was the dogfighting. While piloting the TIE fighter, I felt like a fly buzzing around with only one and half wings. Using a controller was pretty much out of the question for me. I actually died a few times just trying to navigate around ships with an x-box controller. With mouse and keyboard, I was able to control the ship, but it was still a hot mess. Having the targeting control for the guns be the same control for the movement of the ship is just bad. I wonder if the developers did this on purpose to make it feel like you feel frail and endangered. The lack of options to strafe in the ship also seemed weird to me. I've spent a lot of time flying helicopters in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. Something comparable to that would be choice.

    The first thing that grabbed my attention in the entire game was the design of Iden's inferno squad helmet and her attire. Obviously influenced by the class Vader design, the control panel on the front of the chest plate serves out the nostalgia. The droid mount on the back was also a cool placement, reminiscent of the drone backpack in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. The design and rendering of these imposing costumes immediately sated my desire to kick some Rebels in the teeth.

    The animation and scene designs as well as the writing and delivery of the lines in the cut-scenes were pretty good. Nothing came off as cheesy. I like how subtle facial expressions have snuck their way into our games. The slightest flex of a fist or raise of a cheek can add the right quality to important scenes. These were not amazing or anything, but totally enjoyable. Also hysterically fun is some of the off camera environmental dialogue you overhear as you are storming a base or ship. You can hear NPC's screaming and calling to each other in warning as if the predator or an alien was tearing up their comrades. All these little things add to the mood and your connection to the adventure in Battlefront Two.

    EA Dice also delivers on some really immersive cool moments. In one scene I thought I was just going to land in their on-ship dock and CGI would just take me into first-person. Nope. They let you hover there and annihilate the entire dock, including some X-wings. When you get out of the ship, you hear crew running for their lives screaming, “Oh my god, it's the pilot. The pilot's getting out of the ship. Run!” When you think things have calmed after a tough fight, cliffhanger moments come unexpectedly and are offered with that warm Star Wars humor. It would be nice to see these moments become a little more interactive, but it's enough to draw you further into the character and the adventure of the story.

    Instead of reloading, most specialized weaponry has a cool-down timer. At first I was annoyed by this, but I guess it makes sense. The game shows off weapon variety early on, encouraging you to use a charging sniper rifle, a grenade launcher, missle launcher, shotgun, but I didn't see any innovative main weapons. Some of the secondary weapons like this device that sets of a localized elector magnetic pulse on nearby enemies were pretty fun. It allowed you to approach the mostly generic combat with some style and a bit of strategy.

    I'm not going to say much about multiplayer. I will say that I didn't see anything new here, but it was fun. I did like that the game offered extra points if you stayed close to your squad and pushed objectives together. Of course, you are randomly placed after you die, and the group usually quickly divides up and runs to opposite ends of the map.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Two looks to be like an enjoyable casual shooter with an engaging story. If I was a bigger Star Wars fan, I'd probably tell EA to take my money, play through the story, then never touch the game again. Otherwise, I'd say wait for a sale on this title.

That would be nice and not embarrassing, thank you. Another SJW retard, this time from Ars Technica, another retarded hack fraud website where the retarded "journalist" named Sam Machkovech "attributed"(more like falsely claimed) some of Bowsette's popularity to how it contrasted against Peach, stating(falsely claiming) the fan art's focus on a "more muscular, less svelte figure lets Peach look a little less Barbie proportioned". Peach isn't "Barbie proportioned" and she wasn't ever "Barbie proportioned" and it lets her be a little less nothing since it does nothing and all of that is fact. Lastly, some cancerous tranny of The Daily Dot named Ana Valens noted the character's broad appeal,(more like barely acknowledged to be honest) but also as a "relatable" figure for trans women. CANCEEEER. Bowsette's not genuinely "relatable" for trans women and that's fact you retard, but keep lying to yourself, you won't ever actually biologically be women and that's fact. And you noted jack piss, she's not relatable for trans women, fact, it had the retard stating(falsely claiming) "Bowsette is exactly how we see ourselves: We went from self hating, gender dysphoric creatures and turned into happy confident women." Ugh, traps. Enjoy your false happiness, you're in torment even now. And Bowsette is not exactly how "we"(trannies) see yourselves: and that's fact. Bowsette is a fusion of peach therefore not actually trans but hermaphrodite if anything and Bowser is FACTUALLY not "gender dysphoric" and that's why he kidnaps Peach and is male, he's not actually a trap like you queers. And Bowser hadn't turned into any "happy confident women" you cancertard and that's fact.

    Everything I have said here is fact, don't like it then you are retarded. I don't personally have anything against gays or transgender people of course, but SJW cancer like this is unbelievably horrid. It's like you have to be vitriolic in order to combat it, not "transphobic" or anything but projection is retarded and that's fact. Don't project and it might not be retarded. Bowser and Peach are great and iconic characters and companies like Nintendo and Square Enix are good companies that that have all their employees be talented and that's fact as well, for example Dragon Quest 11 or xi isn't "overly traditional" and that's fact, it is a masterpiece of a game and those complaining about what the game is like are factually retarded, closed minded "critics" and that's fact. Not many others complained about the game though, actually not many at all complained or criticized Dragon Quest 11 or xi and that's fact.

    Star Wars Battlefront 2, is of course the sequel to the online only star wars battlefront, but this time it adds a campaign, and boy is it disappointing…
    Before I start, I’m going to make it clear that I’m not a star wars fan…
    I’m reviewing this game as a game.. license unattached…
    And if you’re not a star wars fan, this 4 and a half hour long campaign is a gigantic waste of your time.
    This is easily the most generic garbage I’ve ever suffered through...
    IT plays, is delivered, and feels like a 2010 ps3 game…
    The campaign tells the story of Iden Versio mostly... though not primarily…
    Infact half of the time not at all…
    You get a bit of a perspective of the dark side, as shes the commander of the inferno squad
    but the game make a huge mistake of following different paths of multiple heroes... characters you know...
    minor spoilers, but youll be light sabering it up which was easily my favorite parts of this campaign…
    And these great moments are interrupted with space battles that go on way too long and an uninspired least fun of all time linear 3rd person shooting adventure where you can play around with the idea of cards.. As every hero you play in the campaign has their own special moves on a cool down they can use... but as iden you can swap these cards for different grenade tpyes for example... or perk like health regeneration and shield...
    I found the campaign to be a great way to introduce the mechanics of the online and for that reason is worth checking out… but nothing more as it’s just a bunch of shoot everything in your way while you get to a checkpoint, and defending positions while an npc interacts with an item… that’s it..
    There are a few okay missions here and there… but none of them are ever fun... at all...
    Again if you’re not a star wars fan just use it as a tutorial mode and get out of there...
    There’s no fun, no meaningful story... theres nothing here…
    Though completing the campaign does reward you with credits and loot boxes to give you a little head start online...
    Thankfully the online unlike the campaign is fun and is this games saving grace
    Online features 5 different modes, the 2 big ones 40 player classic assault which is objective based of defending and attacking positions or items and there’s the 24 player Starfighter assault, which is a bit like classic but in space…
    these 2 game modes aren’t really what I enjoy in competitive modes and had me more frustrated with the pay to win feel of the game where players can all have more powerful cards, and again with 40 players running around you’re going to die pretty quickly in this mode if you’re a newbie..
    You’re better off building yourself up in the other 3 modes first and coming back to these 2 later
    I was afraid I was going to tear this game apart in my review until I played these much smaller game modes there’s blast with is 20 player call of duty style team death match, 16 player strike which is another objective based game mode,
    All 4 of these modes you’ll be getting kills and earning points to bring in support from heroes and star craft to clean house and potentially turn the tables in a losing battle…
    and then there’s my personal favorite 8 player heroes vs villains… where there is no saving up points..
    Everyone starts as a hero character and it’s a game of attacking targets while defending your team mate…
    This mode is a blast to me, and by itself changed my overall opinion of this game..
    Everyone feels over powered... it’s just a matter of who can use their powers the best...
    The controversy of this game comes mostly in the microtransactions which are currently disabled...
    But there is a loot crate system where you can buy crates with credits earned in game from clearing challenges and finishing matches… and in these crates are cards, credits, and crafting materials…
    Cards are bonuses you can attach to your characters... and this is what makes the game feel pay to win…
    Your characters don’t get stronger by you using them.. They only get stronger by luck of the drawn…
    Though you are able to craft cards of your choice with the crafting parts you earn and you can increase the power of these cards with these parts... though these are a bit rare
    I don’t find these cards to be as big of an issue in smaller modes oddly because I feel youre given more space to rely on your skill as a player…
    But in the larger modes youll definitely notice the buffed up players as their cards flash across your screen while theyre killing you over and over again with their upgraded grenades and turrets…
    its annoying..
    Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a bit of a let down to me, and im not even a star wars fan…
    But there is fun to be had here in its online.. Especially in its smaller modes...

    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.
