    If it is only the seller who is offensive and aggressive with his demands, capitalism will not serve the consumer anymore. We are not witch hunting. We are merely voicing our demands now, the demands that the consumers have. Noise that the gaming industry is not used to hear. Anymore.

    I would not have purchased this game had i known that they removed the offline mode for Starfighter Assault. I only got the game for the Starfighter Assault mode and since i dont have allot of time to invest in online games I was mostly just going to mess around offline, but as this isnt an option it makes this game completely useless for my play style. Total waste of $80.

    Why bother with a game that won't let you play at your own pace? It's not Clash of Clans, Christ alive. A game can't survive on nice visuals alone, it's a shooter, not an rpg.

    Money-based gameplay alteration is unacceptable in any form. Especially so in multiplayer titles. Even more so in AAA-priced titles. Long past days when you could simply buy a multiplayer game and enjoy it to your satisfaction - now you have to buy the game and buy the wins. Welcome to the FUTURE.

    The single player campaign starts strong, but half way through (the entire campaign is only 4 hours long by the way) it becomes predicable and embarrassing.

The multiplayer is fun, until you are against someone on the opposite team who has spent tons of money to max out a character that can dominate an entire team by itself. The progression is broken due to the micro-gambling transactions for loot boxes and the absurd bypassing of skill to upgrade characters with real world money. This game is fundamentally broken at this point in time and it will take a major overhaul of the progression system to make the gameplay fun.

    EA tries to please casual gamers and hardcore gamers at the same time, but the old saying about that stands true: jack of all trades, master of none. It's not casual enough to be arcade like, and not hardcore enough to be a Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. Also, the economy debacle is worse than anything I have ever seen in a game.    … Expand

But if you want to play this game, you have to give your ass to EA and allow them **** you several times until your pocket will be empty (and then sell all your own property including your console or/and PC). And only after that you will allow to play this game.

    STAR WARS Battlefront II is the sequel to the $120 Star Wars Battlefront 2015. While EA says that this game had alot more content than 2015 Battlefront, it really doesn't. Sure, it has more maps but none of these mals are really good. Simple features like selecting what map you want to play on, customize your soldier, are all gone. Instead you get to play a random map and everyone looks the same.

    There are cosmetic options in the game, but these are exclusive to Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Kylo Ren and Rey. With cosmetic items for regular soldiers like the Officer, is hidden from the player.

    The game in unbalanced, you can get killed in 1 shot across the map by Leia. The game features P2W starcards which you can in lootboxes, (half the time you just get duplicates or starcards for a Hero/Villain that you don't even have). This of course makes the game even more unbalanced, for example Chewbacca can stun you and then kill you in a couple of shots.

    EA's reason for not making the lootboxes cosmetic only is because, and I quote "Nobody wants a pink Darth Vader". This is the worst excuse I have ever heard, plently of people wants a pink Darth Vader. Plus, if you don't want to add a pink Darth Vader, then don't add a pink Darth Vader. Add cosmetic options for the Soldiers and Heroes/Villains. As I said, there are already cosmetic options in the game, EA is just hiding them from you.

    While the game doesn't feature a $50 Season Pass or DLCs, it featured microtransactions (Which EA removed but will add later on).

It has the lowest user score ever in meta critic history. It also has such a high amount of disgust and push back from the video gaming community that EA had to "temporarily remove" the microtransactions from the game. DO NOT BE FOOLED! Do not think that "oh great!, they removed it now I can go buy the game!" Its a trap! I cant even comment or review the rest of the game because this has completely overshadowed the actual game.

    You were even told these mechanics were going to be combined into a Free 2 Play model whilst still being charged full price yet you still bought them!

    Well now you see the result of just accepting whatever the Publishers throw at you yet you are still going to let this game sell like hotcakes whilst destroying an IP with decades of history behind it.

    I was going to say the next logical step would be to introduce time gated paywalls but EA even went as far as to introduce this into Battlefront 2!

    Very disappointing that EA has decided to ruin a potentially good game with a poorly thought out and greedy progression system. Even after reducing grinds significantly they are still too long and a loot box based progression system may be one of the most toxic ideas that I have ever seen and is clearly testing the boundaries of how much money they can squeeze from consumers.

    EA, you're too greedy to buy your games. What a shame pushing DICE to do this: making more lootboxes and stretching time of completion of challenges and unlocking characters! I don't want to play games more than 40 hours, at all, it's too many for one game. I'd prefer to play 3 games that provide 8-12 intense hours of diverse action singleplayer gameplay.

    Star Wars Battlefront II provides a greater ambition than the previous installment. It has powerful war scenes, a brand new single player mode, and shows a much more magnificent Star Wars Universe. But just like the Jedi should be ware of the dark side of the Force, this game also meets some similar situations, such as beleaguered microtransaction elements and character growth problems. The first 10 hours of this game is full of surprises; however, the further you play this game, the more disappointed you will get.
