    I don't have the words to describe how awful and predatory the systems that are in place in this game are. Its pay to win and even though the developers are "removing" the loot boxes and micro transactions, it is completely temporary and is only been removed to protect their early sales and will be added back at a later date when people are not focused on them anymore.

    1/10 because of Star Wars.
    9 points removed because of extreme corporate greed from EA and having them think they can rip us off freely. Having to pay to unlock content after paying 60$ is just unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Having to play 40h to unlock one character (so you are forced to buy) is not acceptable after paying 60$.

    I really wanted to buy this game beacuse SW is my second love but terrible P2W and boxes change my mind. So i will never buy this product. I will not spend my money on it because of this microtransactions. Devs can be proud of yourselves - they ruined their product.

    Do not buy, predatory lootbox based progression or so called "pay to pay to play" model.
    Gambling advertised to children, hopefully this practice will be illegal some day.

    Too many games made these days are trying milk gamers for all the cash they have and this game is at the top of that crap pile. The quality of the game falls to the side in favor for mechanics meant to manipulate consumers to part with their money.
    A blatant free to play model in a full price tiered game.
    Gone are the days you buy a game and get a game, now you just get cut up parts of a game.

It feels like one is in a Star Wars world. The sounds and the general aesthetic is completely spot on. I've had a great affinity Star Wars space battles since the Lucas Arts original X-Wing and TIE Fighter days. And as a young man, I watched the original Star Wars movie at my local theater 18 times and treasure my ticket stubs that I've kept all these years from that time. Of course I've seen all things Star Wars since then and perhaps am in the minority when I say that I even liked the prequel movies as well.

    So it pains me to give this game a zero. To have to have my thoughts so radically skewed for a game that is so sublime in its creation and visual and gaming appeal has taken a great deal of effort on the part of its creators. The implementation of loot boxes in this game IS gambling. I don't have a problem with gambling. I don't have a problem with loot boxes. I don't even have a problem with "play to win". I can completely ignore these aspects of the game and still have fun. What I have a problem with is telling me it's not gambling when it clearly is. The mechanic is a game of chance that determines game-winning advantages. If that is not gambling, then I don't know what is. If you enjoy gambling, this is the game for you. For me, I'll pass.    … Expand

    The game balance is terrible. It's based on loot boxes. Without them the game is trash, with them is trash as well. What EA needs to do is just rebalance the whole game, redesign the loot boxes to be cosmetic only. Just don't buy for now.

    I have played it within 10 hours EA Access trial. This is a game designed as Pay-to-Win. Just to discourage such a behaviour in 60$ game - I am giving it an 0 point user score.
    I cannot accept pay-to-win approach in game I have to pay the full price.
    I know that now loot boxes are TEMPORARILY blocked. So I am waiting for permanently removal. Then I am open to change my scoring.

I pre-ordered this game a long time ago and have been really looking forward to playing the empire. I started to write argumants for all the things I wanted to discuss but it got too long and so I just made a list.

    Things that suck -

    The auto-aiming obs from this being a console port - I clearly fluffed a rl shot and watched the rl turn in mid air and hit a target that wasn't even on my screen when I fired
    More cuts scenes than gameplay
    Really bad gameplay
    The terrible plot I was really looking forward to playing the empire
    We don't get to play the empire we're playing rebels in the wrong uniforms
    Why are we playing Luke 10 mins in oh yeah to convince the empires hard core elite troopers the change sides at the drop of a hat
    You don't get to play as the empire just as future rebels
    The empire blow up one of thier own worlds just to convince us that the lead trooper needs an incentive to change I can't remeber her name its similar to the girl in rogue one tho
    The ship levels are poor
    You don't get to play as the empire just as future rebels
    The ai is poor you can flank the troopers just by crouching even walk in front of some of them and they dont see you
    You can get behind them easily
    The levels are very very linear and you are spoon fed what to do the whole time
    You don't get to play as the empire just as future rebels
    The levels actually look worse than the original
    The troopers aim hasnt improved
    You don't get to play as the empire just as future rebels
    The game crashes a lot
    The crate system
    The fact that DICE hasn't done a good game since BF4
    You don't get to play as the empire just as future rebels
    HAN SOLO HAS A BEARD WTF!!!!!
    TBH the whole bar section with Han is a complete and utter waiste of ****ing time it serves no other purpose than to jam in some more movie related bs
    You play in loads of 'movie' locations that are disjointed and have no consistent plot, story line or indeed relevance to each other. Oh look were in ep6, no ep3 wait now ep7 /facepalm wtf
    This is the worst game dice have ever put their name on. Someone just saw the loot boxes as $$$$$ signs and the list of compaints last time and just thought **** it we'll throw together some disjointed plotless nonsensical **** and call it a campaign **** our customers they're all idiots anyway hahahaha
    You don't get to play as the empire just as future rebels
    This game is clearly been designed for consoles
    I really regret buying this game loot crate **** aside this is a really bad game
    The flying combat has been dumbed down

    Things that don't suck -

    You get to fly the Millenium Falcon (only its completely out of context we were promised we would play the empire).

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ITS A PIECE OF ****

    This will be the last Starwars game (and possibly DICE game) I buy and if The Last Jedi isn't ****ing awesome it will be the last Starwars movie I watch.

    Ep 4 - Awesome
    Ep 5 - Awesome
    Ep 6 - Awesome
    Ep 1 - Meh
    Ep 2 - Bad
    Ep 3 - Terrible
    Ep 7 - Bad its a f***ing reboot
    Rogue one - Good should of had the scroller and the PROPER Starwars music

    The loot boxes ruin this game. EA tried to push the micro transactions to far. Gamers need to take a stand now or else future games will all be like this. I bet you the team making the next Battlefield is like oh crap guys. We need to change this system people are not going to tolerate it.

I hope those working at EA realize that they're responsible for ruining games that could be amazing experiences and that could be remembered and played for years. Instead they only care about making a few bucks. You're the laughing stock of the industry EA, so get it together or get out. ------Pay $60 to read the rest of the review------

    imagine a chess game where your opponent has queens instead of pawns.
    image a versus fighting game where your opponent has triple lifebar.

    EA shows, once again, that their greed knows no bounds. They destroy and suck every possible cent out of every title they release, and every studio they purchase.

    Gamer's need to take a stand with pay-to-play games. I was so psyched for this game, but as the release date got closer I got the details on the paid loot system. I am disappointed and will not pay for a game that encourages paid content in the magnitude that this game does.

    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.
