    Do I need to say? Same reason as the others.

    Lame game, lame politics and exploration. EA ruined dozen of games, but they can't get away everytime.

    If the mechanics are free-to-play like, then charge the game accordingly (better yet: Don't charge!)

    This is pay-to-win garbage. It's total BS. Don't believe anyone who is telling you otherwise - it's just bought reviews. This game is total crap. Do me a favor and pop down to Youtube and visit "Worth a buy". It's an eye opener.

    Basically its an Online Casino pretending to be an multiplayer shooter game. Its RNG on RNG on RNG for spending real money in exchange for a chance to pwn every living being at this match. If you enjoy this game mechanic - you're masochist.

    all these reviews right before the game launches should tell ppl not to buy the game. However. Ppl are the f'ing worst and EA knows this. So whats likely to happen? Everyone buys the game anyway, keeps complaining uninterrupted, buys 30 bucks in Micro transactions, then in 2 months they'll start posting "ppl still play this" even as they play it, and will say at the end they were part ofall these reviews right before the game launches should tell ppl not to buy the game.

Everyone buys the game anyway, keeps complaining uninterrupted, buys 30 bucks in Micro transactions, then in 2 months they'll start posting "ppl still play this" even as they play it, and will say at the end they were part of the FAILED, boycott. If Im EA im out shoppin for new stuff cause they know the cash is on its way. It was a similar scene with ME4 but how many of you bought that, hmmm? Most of you. I didnt. I havent bought EA since inquisition and i even bought that second hand so ea wouldn't get the money. Why? Because anyone who isnt a lying scumbag has know for over a decade that THIS is how EA opperates and always will. So if everyone knows they are a garbage greedy game company, than how is EA still in business you might ask. The reason is simple and its likely the same reason that SWBF2 will sell millions of copies and make EA a ton of money. That reason? That ppl today are worthless d bags who want everyone ELSE to boycott to get the problem fixed. Somebody ELSE should return their pre order. Someone ELSE needs to teach EA to respect its customers. But "I" dont want to have to be bothered. This is why things are the way they are. EA might respond to a real boycott, but they arent going to fix squat cause 600 thousand keyboard warriors on reddit started sobbing. Want to know how im right? Because they "fixed" your "outrage" by cutting the price of hero's by 75%. But why isnt that a fix you ask? BECAUSE THEY CUT DOWN ON HOW MUCH CREDITS YOU CAN EARN BY PLAYING THE GAME BY, anyone want to guess how much? EXACTLY......... 75%. So for those weak in math. If your bills go down 75% at the same time your pay gets dropped 75% your in the EXACT same position. EA just did the rope a dope and TONS of ppl are falling for it. If you REALLY want this game like I do, your kinda screwed. BUT, for those who must get the game, buy it second hand in a week or 2. At least then EA wont get your money. But if you EVER buy a microtransaction of ANY kind, YOU....... are not PART, of the problem. You ARE, the problem and i dont care what your excuse is. They have season passes, pre orders, even pre orders for season passes. All that crap is designed. DEEEEE SIGNED!!!! TOTALLY designed to effect your brain in a similar way that gambling does so that you will GIVE THEM MORE MONEY THAN JUST THE COST OF BUYING THE GAME. Notice I didn't say it was designed to make gamers have fun. Because it isnt. All that junk is gaming cancer being targeted at morons and unsuspecting innocent children. If sales dont come ANYWHERE NEAR what EA is projecting they will panic because someone is going to roll for it and maybe, just maybe, they'll stop this sort of greedy disgusting practices. I'll wish in 1 hand, and crap in the other. Anyone care to guess which one of those scenarios is going to get filled first? Yup. Better wash my hands. EA...... making ubi-turd, or garba-soft if you prefer, look like a decent company by comparison. Expand

    You had my money, EA, congratulations. I won't be buying another one of your games for as long as you view your customers with such disdain. Looks like I'll be playing the real Battlefront 2- the one that came out 12 years ago with all the features and more. Minus the predatory, F2P mobile features that have no place in a full priced game.

    We're not morons and we won't put up with this

    Delaying P2W strategy until later will not subside this terrible game mechanic. Nothing short of removing lootboxes completely will do anything for this smoldering garbage pile from EA.

They have even built in lockout timers to prevent you earning credits after 5 missions in a day, I was greeted with a 'come back in 6 hours message'. This kind of junk belongs in mobile Free to play crap and not in a AAA full price title.

    I hope people take a stand and do not buy this, the very future of games is on the line here. If you love games because they should be about fun, gameplay, pure competition and gameplay designed around genuinely rewarding a players effort and time, then please please do not get this trash that is designed around opening up your wallet by trying to grind you down through a combination of outrageous time to progress combined with an apparent willingness to matchmake you with whales who will destroy you due to the power they have purchased.

    Dice, EA, Disney and anybody who supports this should be ashamed imho, absolutely shocking that things have been pushed this far and they thought it was ok to release a Starwars game like this, but then it is Starwars so will probably sell in record numbers, and this will pave the way for a PTW future, I hope I'm wrong and that the public have the strength to let this game die at retail and send a signal that this will not stand.

Content which should have been unlocked from the start of the game is locked behind ridiculous paths of progression. Besides the awful online modes, the campaign is also horrendous. It’s incredibly unoriginal, and focuses more on cutscenes and popular characters in the Star Wars mythos instead of actually attending to its interesting female protagonist. Predictable and unnecessary, it forces the player into an obvious gameplay loop which becomes tiring after the first mission.

    I give an 8 out of 10 for DICE on the game play i paid 60$ for.

    And one thing that aggravates me as well is the lack of options for arcade mode(aka offline mode),no star fighter assault, no galactic conquest etc...you have AI for all these modes but you leave the easy to program options out of the game(pretty sure EA is to blame for that as well because they want a larger focus on multiplayer online).

    DICE did a fantastic job but EA came along and jammed their fat money grubbing fingers into the game. It's so obvious where their influence lay. It's pretty disgraceful how they tried to turn a 60-70 dollar game into a Game as a service or use a freemium model without the free. Listen I understand in order to keep the games the same price they need to recoup their costs but this is not the way to do it though.

    Gamers are not dumb, and neither are they cash machines, don't treat us as such.

    Say good-bye to your distinctive player style because random drops me you cannot play the game the way you want. Random drops me you are constrained to the upgrades randomly get. You have no choice. The drop rates for rare cards are so low that the game is not worth playing. I have spent hours playing to unlock some crates and most of the time I ending up with nothing of value. Out of 12 hours of gameplay I have unlocked only 1 real thing of value. This is because there Pay-to-Win system is there to try to get you to spend money for more chances at something good. Players do have the option of gaining scrap credits but this is gained in such minuscule quantities that it NOT a viable option.

    STORY: SP campaign is ~5.5 hours long. The story contains the most PREDICTABLE boring plot twists.

    EA has announced that they are have “Temporarily” removed the microtransactions.

    Lets face it, EA have the attitude that because it is a Star Wars Game you will buy it and play it.

This easily looks like a game that could get me hooked because the previous had alot of problems that made me weary of playing it. EA are not people I pay my money too because I think much of their game design is anti-consumer. While I felt initially interested, that has immediately went up in flames when I saw the trailer introducing star cards then following with loot boxes to get those cards. Move onto the beta time (and I was unable to play but saw streams and videos to get an idea) and now we see that EA has decided to make its game a pay to win model by allowing players to buy boxes of randomized cards to give them stacking effects and advantages over other players. Oh yes you heard me right; a fully priced $60 dollar game is offering you to buy lootboxes that give you random items that are similar to gambling and you can pay to have a potential and clear advantage over others that don't have the time or money to achieve it.

    This isn't a Star Wars hate crusade. I love the original trilogy, hated the prequels and thought TFA was good and RO was mediocre, but I am not going to sit by and let this crap infest people. Considering this game is rated Teen that means parents will likely buy this for their kids for Christmas. Star Wars fanatics will buy this game and as we know the fanbase is gigantic and this game alone will be a commercial success, but I implore you to not buy this game. EA are cutting back on some of the points that it takes to get heroes (hours upon hours for a single one?) but the pay to win is still in its clutches. This must be boycotted, downvoted on every post sight, but for the love of god do not threaten anyone's family or themselves. Just use your brains instead of your wallets and not buy this garbage.

Their fall will mark the dawn of golden era of gaming.

    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.
