    basura en esencia pura, EA te da un juego tosco y sin alma, solo espera que se estrene la película en diciembre y seguro tendrás de vuelta tus microestafas.

    I don't think i need to explain why I give it a 0. But in short, the game locked many of the main characters at first and you need to grind to unlock them. Which is NOT a problem. The problem?

EA, however see this as an "exploit" because without capping it will create an "unfair multiplayer environment" . But guess what, you are very much welcome, or should I say, strongly incentivize, to pay to unlock, because, well, that CAP to make multiplayer a fair playground is GONE if you PAY.

    To be honest, I sense this game is a trap when they say the expansion will be free. But hell I really didn't expect to see they make such an ugly PR stunt show on reddit.

    I always remind myself don't be a guy who's happy to see other suffer. But hell you have no idea how happy I am seeing EA failed big time like this.    … Expand

    Absolutely love this game! Everything from the sound to the gameplay is phe-no-mo-nwal. Many are complaining about the microtransactions and to them, I say, "Who cares about spending more money?" I love the satisfying feeling of spending money... with my mom's credit card

    Why would you want to support these greedy c*nts? Death to EA, they are a shady company that has no business making games. They are just here to empty your pockets and little kids parents credit cards. They may have removed loot boxes but it isn't permanent but they will be back. MAKE EA FEEL THIS. BOYCOTT EA!

    I always try to give the benefit of the doubt, but there is so little to go off from here. This game is poor, its design is lackluster and its structure is insidious. I just can't help but think that they feel that they can just smack the "Star Wars" name onto this game and assume we will automatically 'buy in'.

    Shameless economic strategies Combined with a pay2win progression system.
    short story.

    Time for people to simply boycott EA. They are money hungry fuks only interested in making more cash. Haven't bought an EA game in years and I think everyone should do the same, make them go bankrupt. Each and every developer and creator should just be taken out back and shot in the back of the head like a fuking dog, have their bodies cremated and their ashes thrown into the the ocean.Time for people to simply boycott EA.

    What would have been an otherwise alright game, an improvement on the first but still not perfect, EA got greedy and in its quest to grab as much money as possible from fans of Star Wars and DICE's work they decided to ram a pay to win 'freemium' loot box economy into a full priced game, locking important content behind paywalls or lengthy unrewarding playtime, SHAME ON YOU EA!!

    Only a true fool would support this game. This practice of gouging money is absolutely ridiculous. Individuals are now dropping in giving the game a 10/10 saying "No microtransactions"...seriously? You DO realize that's a temporary removal right? Temporary...look it up sometime. Don't be fooled, this is trash.

    Pay to win does not belong in a $60 video game. And then there's the glitches, and unfinished story (which isn't that great), and everything dealing with progression in the multiplayer is all wrong. There's no sense of accomplishment. EA treats you and I, the customer, like we're idiots that deserve to be taken advantage of and I can't support this practice.

    Decent multiplayer game but just an unacceptable use of Pay 2 Win mechanics. It's very disappointing that Dice put so much hard work into this game only to have EA ruin it with obvious gambling.

    A 60$ pay to win, loot box infested, money grabbing scam of a game. I do not recommend getting it. Take a stand against these practices by not buying this game. Vote with your wallets. You are better off buying the first iteration or avoiding the series entirely.

    The day has come when EA has finally decided to make video games like mobile games. I don't want my video games to be like the mobile games and I'm sure you don't too. Locking progression behind a loot boxes is the worst idea. Either go through a crappy rng to progress and "hope" you get something good, or pay to open more loot boxes and "hope" you get something good. This is wrong.

    First pay to win full price title. Would you buy chess if one player has no pawns and instead every major unit a second or even third time in his front row because of Microtransactions? Please don't support this greed and buy a used copy, if you are interested in the story.

    This game isn't a game. It's a slot machine that you have to pay 60$ to have the right to play, before it rolls its slots continuously for 40 hours telling you that you'll have the right to win little prizes all along, or that you can feed the machine a whole lot a money and win your prizes right now.

    And it works with an associated EA executive telling you that it is for your own good that you have to play 40 hours before you can fully enjoy your paid slot machine's prizes. When he's not offering you to pay right now to get more, of course.

    This is a scam.

    It's not a game, it's a scam.

    I don't even care if the game is good or not, that's beside the point. When you scam someone with let's say the promise of getting a really nice car, I don't give a flying **** if the car is good or not. I give a **** that I'm being scammed to get the promised thing, whose real price is hidden behind a fake one. Imagine you're buying a car for 4000$, and then you realise the engine's busted, the tires are dead, and the exhaust is about to blow. Then the seller says "well, you gotta repair it son, it'll make you feel real good when you'll have repaired it youself, you'll feel committed to it." You'd call him a scammer, call the cops and have him arrested for false advertisement.

    Now when a game company, I'm sorry i meant Hell's Embassy on Earth, aka EA Games, sells you a full priced game, then says "okay son, you gotta play 40 hours of the game to get the full content you paid for, it'll make you feel real committed to it", what do you do? You can't call the cops, the system is rigged.

    But at least you can do something: tell everyone that EA is scammers and thieves, and tell them to NEVER EVER buy from them again. I don't condone piracy, being a game dev myself, but there is no way in hell a company like EA is ever getting a penny from me again. I'll even make a point of it, and if I wanna buy their games, I won't, I'll steal them just like they steal their clients.    … Expand

    I'd write a multi-paragraph rant about how this game is a complete dumpster fire but many have already.

    Dont buy it, dont bother with it. The game is a unbalanced pile of crap that is purely designed to force players to spend money on the micro-transactions (when active again). Those who have during the games initial release will be nearly unstoppable against newer players.

    Loot Boxes, Pay to Win, EA's cowardice to admit she's been wrong from the start. I'd buy it but lucky I haven't. I don't remember a game gaining hatred from the public so much that made all gamers together against one despicable practice. Die, EA.

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 is perhaps the most conflicted I've ever felt about a video game.

There's even a single player campaign this time. It's pretty mediocre, but it's better than nothing.

    If that's all there was to it, this game would be a solid 8/10 in my book, but as I'm sure you've heard, the game follows a pay-to-win microtransaction model. Those who forked over real money got better cards right off the bat - cards that give you a blatant and unfair advantage. EA pulled the plug and you're no longer allowed to buy loot boxes, but in their wake they've left a progression system built around their money-grubbing scheme that's incredibly harsh and unfair to those who haven't paid for microtransactions (which is now everyone).

    I want to love this game, and I still have bouts of fun with it here and there, but I can't recommend you buy it. Once EA "fixes" the progression things might change, but I think the damage is already done. There's always Battlefront 2005...    … Expand

    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.

    Excellent online action offers hours of Stormtooper-shooting fun, but the so-so campaign stumbles, while cynical loot crates leave a sour taste. [Jan 2017, p.83]

    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.
