Nov 14, 2017Random items in loot boxes/crates should not dictate the progress I make in a game. My performance is what should dictate the progress I make in the game. What incentives are there to get better? Anyone can just grind for credits....
-
Nov 14, 2017Absolutely trash. This isn't a game, it's an illegal gambling system that goes through enough loopholes just to slip past regulations in the U.S. This is ridiculous, and I think that a boycott is in order, and that Congress needs to investigate this matter. Games like Battlefront are literally encouraging kids (and adults) to gamble. Stay far away.
-
Nov 14, 2017A total disgrace EA should be ashamed of themselves for this shameless gambling simulator masquerading a a star wars battlefront game. Even call of duty isn't as terrible with lootcrates as this.
-
Nov 14, 2017Still has less content than the original battlefront 2 that came out in 2005. Campaign is short. Pay to win baby. They said that they wanted to make unlocking a hero an achievement but what they did was make it a grind. World of Warcraft killed Everquest because they took away grinding. Couldn't play heroes vs villains because all of my unlocked heroes were taken.....

Nov 14, 2017Very 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.
-
Nov 14, 2017I used to play most of EA's game. But damn, Battlefront II is a hell of a money grinding game made by some business men who understand nothing about video games, except "it's makes money".
Seriously, EA should start making phone games instead of trying to create PC games. It'll never work, the community is way more smarter than a group of **** in a chair. -
Nov 14, 2017After the Mass Effect disaster, this one takes the cake. Some people don't have 40-60+ hours to unlock 1 or 2 things. This microtransactions stuff is not getting out of hand, it IS out of hand. Hopefully this game is the start of the downfall.

Nov 14, 2017Электроникам ни в коем случае нельзя показывать, что эта совершенно идиотская система имеет право на существование. Надеюсь, что слухи о тысачах отменённых предзаказах действительно верны. EA зашла слишком далеко.

Nov 14, 2017EA has hit an all-time low, the game would be fun if not for the blatant money grab and **** customer service. They've officially hit the **** point they ever have, wonder if they can sink any lower.
-
Nov 14, 2017All these 0/10 reviews seem legit... totally not biased or anything. All it really does is show the fools who have no idea how game development in the modern age works

Nov 14, 2017Thank you EA for the Microtransactions, I can’t recommend this game to anyone in the current state. This game disadvantages and discourages newcomers and casual gamers by rewarding those who purchase loot boxes and grind the multiplayer.
-
Nov 14, 2017ааа, микро донаты, нееееет, не покупайте эту игру пока не уберут микро донаты. зачем вы их сделали, это что сс гоу, вы че там совсем ахуели, ахринительная компания бала, а теперь что в колду теперь идти играть. ну нахер.
-
Nov 14, 2017PLS! ALL! Dont buy this game! If we continue to buy games for $ 60 with microtransactions, then it will only get worse
1/10 and 1 is only for the good game ruined by EA -
Nov 14, 2017Hit them where it hurts, that is the wallet, this is Activision type of garbage and we do not need it. Just how long do they think they can keep showing up with this type of garbage, it is a ripoff and an insult.
-
Nov 14, 2017It is dissapointing to know that a game whose beta you enjoyed a lot is actually a pay to win. It is not funny when you get crushed by someone who is bad at the game but bought a lot of boxes.
You can stick this game up your chimney hole, EA. -
Nov 14, 2017It's too bad that people aren't talking about the mechanics of the game, and just the optional in-game purchases, because the flight controls are actually really well done. It's satisfying to get kills in the vehicles, and they all take skill to operate. The third person aspect is pretty cool too, and a lot of the locations look like they were taken right from the movies.
-
Nov 14, 2017Lol nah man. EA sucks. 40 hour grinds for each hero that you paid for already sucks. Loot boxes suck. P2W sucks. Micro transactions in full priced games suck. Disney should pull the rights to this franchise before EA drives it into the ground, if they haven't already.

Nov 14, 2017This 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.
-
Nov 14, 2017p2w в игре за 60$, лутбоксы и это все для гордости и удовлетворения игроков. Спасибо ЕА но нет, разочарование года.

Nov 14, 2017Do not buy. EA is a massive problem and the company honestly thinks people will just keep being sheep. Do not buy another EA game, this company ruins them. Also make complaints to other companies if you hear that EA might purchase them, it will ruin that companies future. EA is garbage and has been for years. Stop allowing these idiots to ruin the game market.

Nov 14, 2017Игра конечно хороша! Красивая графика, разные эпохи, новые герои, но p2w тут совсем не уместен. Дураков ищите в других места долбаебы.
-
Nov 14, 2017Visuals: Great
Sound Mechanics: Great
Gameplay: Decent, recycled EA shooter dynamic but it works
Micro-transactions that ruin gameplay? Terrible
Reasons why we shouldn't continue to support games that are created purely to pump money out of us? Numerous -
Nov 14, 2017This is not a battlefront game like the old days. its a money grabber using micro transactions to enforce a pay to win game. I got my money back that i used to pre-ordered this game and am planning to spend on something else. This is sad that the game turned out like this with the big fan base it had behind, but i should have expected it from EA themselves.
-
Nov 14, 2017Enough pointless loot boxes and micro-transactions, in full priced games. especially if it become pay to win way of play. EA politics are contaminating all videogame market.
-
Nov 14, 2017Как же меня бомбит,EA. pay to win!? Серьёзно!? Это даже хуже, чем продажа мёртвого разработчика в DLC, как это сделали в Warner Bros.
-
Nov 14, 2017I hate to review a game with 0 points, because I think everygame has something good. But this microtransactions **** is far from unadmissible. And to lie to press giving them a far more forgiveable version of the game so they don't warn players about this, should be illegal.
-
Nov 14, 2017Signed in just to give it a 0/10. Microtransactions are ruining my favourite medium of escapism. Signed in just to give it a 0/10. Microtransactions are ruining my favourite medium of escapism. Sorry, had to pad out of 150 words requirement.

Nov 14, 2017I have been playing for a few hours now, and I must say I'm not pleasantly surprised. The campaign seems like a placeholder at best, and the absolutely horrid micro-transactions do not help. Electronic Arts? Electronic ****
-
Nov 14, 2017The intent is to provide the players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for successfully spending more money to buy loot boxes. EA has really done it in this one. Please spread the word of the terrible practices that they are trying to get away with.
-
Nov 14, 2017its a fun game once again ruined by EA's corporate greed they dont care for the consumer, or anyone at all. they only care for the 3 numbers on the back of your card
-
Nov 14, 20179 hours per Star Card,approximately £2,300 or 6 months of near continuous playing to get all of the content you already paid for.
Save your money, get the original, non-EA version. -

Nov 14, 2017I preordered this game and dont regret a thing. Unlocking characters is easy and FREE!!!! If u dont want to pay money you dont have to. Honestly this game is so fun and it's great to shoot and kill hundreds of people as that is what i like to do in games. If u think you are too smart for this game why dont u play some awful indie or puzzle game, losers
-
Nov 14, 2017I would never pay $60 for a game that uses microtransactions like this. What a disgusting moneygrab.
The fact that EA removed the refund button for people who preordered this trainwreck of a game and now makes people call in and wait in order to get their money back is ridiculous. -
Nov 14, 2017este juego es estupido sinceramente como pudieron desperdiciar una franquisia tan grande como la de star war con contenido de sobra para hacer un buen juego y se sakan esta mierda pay 2 win enserio electronics arts que bajo as caido

Nov 14, 2017The game is filled with microtransactions. not only is the game expensive as hell, but also microtransactions? Get out. Also gameplay ain't that good either, very bland on the ground. Space battles are good, however.

Nov 14, 2017P2win in 60$ game!!! Shame!!! Do not support such games because it could infect other games if the publishers see you agree to this. Stay away from this trap! Support other games without microtransactions.
-
Nov 14, 2017Most ppl here reviewd the game without even buying/playing it ^^ So every "0" review is wothless.
Game has great graphic, great gameplay and great Star Wars feeling and that's a fact.
Problem is microtransactions which shouldn't be there, I agree. But it's no P2W game. PPl who say that don't even know how system works in this game and aparently don't know what p2w means. -
Nov 14, 2017- Lootboxes
- Broken multiplayer
- Pay-to-win microtransactions
- No experience, no heroes, no weapons, no balance
- Weak campaign
Please don't Buy this game.
0/10 Pay to Win. Microtransactions killed the game.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!!!! -
Nov 14, 2017The first one look like a early access at launch but this one omg...
Seriously now when you buy a game full price, have to paid more to get items or character too...EA don t look to have enougth money yet from players with season pass i guess.
I don t want to see all game become like this, so i create a account to give my review.
This battlefront is a piece of **** compare to PS2 games. -

Nov 14, 2017If You have 60 dollars then just buy battlefront 2 (2005) on PC its only 10 dollars and online is back on there and you can use the other 50 on la noire on switch or some other star wars games on steam
-
Nov 14, 2017I will not buy your games anymore from the principle. The most greedy and disrespectful of its customers is a company that has completely ruined a potentially good game and openly declares that it will spoil all its games. You will not get any more money from me.

Nov 14, 2017Game would be OK. Nothing special, bit boring with beautiful graphic. But unfortunately its free to play game that you need to pay 70 euro. DO NOT BUY.
-
Nov 14, 2017Old money grabbing EA is back at it taking candy from kids with money for Micro transactions. I see why everyone hates this company their just like Gamestop all ways ripping people off. These types of companies need to be boycotted just like Need for Speed has the same BS. POS EA you will not get a dollar out of me.
-
Nov 14, 2017EA is ruining all of my favorite franchises. This example of detestable business practices is a preview of what Anthem will be, what the next Dragon Age will be, and what the next Titanfall will be.
I feel like buying some EA stock just so I can go to their shareholder meetings and tell them what a bunch of slimy f*cks their executives are. -
Nov 14, 2017Я разочарован( Если такую херню сделали бы активижн или valve, всем было бы пофиг. То что мертво - умереть не может. Но чтобы такое сделали дайс.... 1 лутбокс из 10
-
Nov 14, 2017Pay 90$ for the shell game, pay 100$ for the characters, pay infinitely more for cards **** Just NOPE. this can't be normalized........................
-
Nov 14, 2017Hope you are proud and feel like an accomplishment to have this score on Metacritic. Your **** is now a meme and everyone is laughing on you. Way to go, EA.
-
Nov 14, 2017Не бесплатная, стоит 4к + донат на баланс, ребята давайте все вместе сделаем игру самым полным провалом. Если бы игра была f2p, однозначно 10/10! Но тут своя политика.
-
Nov 14, 2017Hope you like paying for mobile tier gouging when it comes to microtransactions. I mean ffs since when it is acceptable to pay for something that's supposedly a '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''full'''''''''''''''''''''''''game and keep continuously paying for little bits and pieces or grind your life away in the hope of unlocking the full game.

Nov 14, 2017Terrible terrible terrible progression mechanism. What a fool I am to not have purchased that game on PC, so I could get a refund. Now I can only hope that I can resell this piece of greedy crap.
-
Nov 14, 2017Game is mediocre at best and wouldn't recommend to anyone? Grinded for that awesome star card? too bad, somebody paid for a better star card than yours. If this was F2P it would've been ok, but sadly it isn't. I had pre-ordered it, but got my refund and will use my money on something else. This game is a joke and EA is out of touch with the fans of the game.

Nov 14, 2017Guess what this isn't going to go away unless we stand up and stop complaining and start voting with our dollars. I'm not against DLC but this is just spiraling out of control entirely too fast. I understand these games aren't cheap to make which case add ten dollars, fifteen dollars, what ever dollars to make it right and stop with the micro-transaction nonsense.

Nov 14, 2017Set AAA-gaming free from mobile gaming!
Shove your precious lootboxes up your ass, you dirty greedy gluttonous voracious extortionate covetous Electronic Arts! -

Nov 14, 2017This game is basically a pay2win gambling machine wrapped in a star wars skin. Corporate greed ruining what could be a perfectly good game. Sigh. Simply put don't support the practices within this game. Saw a good comment somewhere that if you give these publishers an inch they will steal the very concept of distance itself.

Nov 14, 2017I can’t recommend this game to anyone in the current state. This game is the epitome of years of corporate greed, customer exploitation and worst of all, taking advantage of people's love for things.

Nov 14, 2017Ни одна платная игра,не должна продавать преимущество перед другими игроками за реальные деньги,бойкот подобной продукции наш путь к будущему где микротранзакции не заполонят рынок,помните об этом
-
Nov 14, 2017- Preorder bonuses
- Tiered pricing (Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, Deluxe Gold Edition)
- Freemium progression system
- Gambling System (aka Lootboxes)
- Bad Campaign
- Bad Multiplayer due to pay2win business model
- Bad PR
- 'official' Metacritic reviews praising this game to no end
DO NOT BUY. -
Nov 14, 2017This type of pay to win, loot box based progression system is the straw that broke the camels back. I'm OK with cosmetic loot boxes, but when you build a $90 (Full game + season pass) game with the model of a FTP game, it's unacceptable. I'm going to play the 2005 version from LucasArts in my steam library, and be glad I didn't support this garbage.
-
Nov 14, 2017Как же жаль,а ведь я собирался купить эту игру,однако после того,как увидел настолько ужасную систему микротранзакций,я,по какой-то причине,передумал,странно,почему же?
-
Nov 14, 2017Pay2Win is an absolute deal killer for me no matter how small the microtransaction. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this release for awhile. Definitely will not waste my money or time encouraging this sort of gaming design. It's nauseating.

Jan 21, 2018Star 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.

Dec 29, 2017Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
