    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. EA is literally worse than Hitler. Microtransactions are literally forcing kids to gamble, this is on par with the holocaust or human trafficking.

    Instead, I found le hidden gem, Witcher 3 in my grandma's attic. Praise Geraldo! Support CD Projekt Red by buying 2 copies of Witcher 3 for every copy of Battlefront II that is sold.    … Expand

FU Dice - you somehow ruined Star Wars, which I wouldn't have thought possible.… Expand

    The greatest disaster in video game history, DICE executed a remarkable game, only for EA to turn it into a pay-to-win micro-transaction ridden car crash nightmare.

    Juego que sale sin contenido y que se ha dejado de mantener a los pocos meses. No vuelvo a comprar otro juego de Star wars de EA. Espero que DICE junto a EA no vuelva a tener más exitos en esta industria.

    Worst Multiplayer experience ever. Do not not buy or you will regret it. Even with the changes the game is unacceptable for new gamers. You are mathced with maxed players and you have no choice but to grind and be slaughtered again and again angainst maxed out players. Even fremium games are mote generous with new players that this ruined greedy game.

    I got this from a shop thinking that it was a videogame. It cost money, albeit rather discounted and came on a disk like PS4 games do.

There are no levels in this "game"only maps, most of which I did not play because I needed to spend more money in order to do so, I had already paid for the game and didn't understand why I would be asked to pay again. There were two maps that allowed me to play without paying further and at some point i managed to play a different one due to some kind of a so called 'promotion'. I was allowed to play as some dull star wars characters but the option was given to pay money to be allowed to play as popular characters from the movies. I was unwilling to pay for this feature as I had already purchased the game. I feel scammed by this misleading and greedy shell of a game. Do not buy this!… Expand

    This game is broken. Its full of glitches and characters that are so OP it makes the game unfun. Chewbacca can shoot anyone blocking with a lightsaber and the people blocking still take damage. You also have the broken team matching system which will put tryhards and pro's against people who bought the game yesterday making it unfun and unfair. Its literally just EA milking it for money.

I do not suggest buying this game. It is a good game and I have fun on it but its got so many problems that it over weights whats fun about it. It needs major repairs and needs a lot of work done still. They need to make Chewbacca a little less powerful. I forgot to mention Emperor Palepetine can't be blocked either and we have the tryhards always going him. Tryhards ruin this game too and make it not fun. You have the all purple card people just being complete dicks and extremely toxic. There is just so many toxic players on this game.

    This game is crap. EA as a company should die for treating its games like gambling slotmachines instead of works of art. Please, Buy games from CDPR, Larian, Sony, Nintendo, hell, even Bethesda Ubisoft and R*. Just don't give your hard earned cash on this slotmachine. I hope EA gets bankrupt!

    I think that additionally donating games, even mobile ones, is a waste of money going nowhere. EA
    became completely crazy and went too far. Not only did they kill a lot of good gaming studios, they also made a bending system in the originally paid game for adding extra real money. These greedy, evil and vain monsters are ruining the games. I hope, they will be closed soon as Telltale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Downfall of EA Battlefront

    Well we all know or have heard of the good old saying “With great power, comes great responsibility”. Well apparently EA hasn’t. Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released about a year ago, which’s predecessor had already disappointed its fan base due to it being lackluster. Numerous people believed EA would get it right and do a fan service for its supportive community, but it didn’t. Two weeks in after the release, and EA already faced major backlashes from its community.

    Like in the first game the EA developers did a phenomenal job on the visual effects and the score of the game. Battlefront 2 faithfully captures the feel and looks of the Star Wars universe with its detailed map design and interactables across its universe. Every blaster and droid sounds like they are straight from the movies. As the game tries to make its fan base feel at home in the Star Wars universe, it fails to use the right impersonators for its heroes in the game. Luke sounds nothing like the Luke Skywalker of “Return of the Jedi” and Darth Vader is way too talkative.

    The game features various game modes for its fans to play, such as an campaign mode, to dive into the Star Wars lore and a multiplayer mode for its competitive players. The campaign mode itself is a story with an unresolved plot, which leaves its players with an empty feeling. Besides the campaign, the multiplayer gameplay is a good solid shooter game, but the campaign is where EA lost their touch.

    The progress system for its multiplayer mode is an unpleasant feeling for the fan base. Working with a random loot crate system isn’t a bad idea and does seem to give an exciting feeling, but it’s with the progress system EA gets it wrong. Next to the standard levelling up, players have the option to get new gear online through microtransaction. The problem is that EA forces people to buy gear that gives people an early advantage in the game. The players went online to sign a petition “Pay to win” to banish the microtransaction in the game. Although EA heard their fans, it didn’t get rid of the microtransactions, but just added some slight adjustments to the microtransactions. Players weren’t happy with EA’s choice and started refunding their games and this led to significant loss in profit and credibility in EA. Now that faith is lost in EA fans have now started to boycott other EA games such as the new and upcoming Battlefield V.

    Although Star Wars Battlefront 2 has a solid gameplay, it leaves its fanbase with a gutted feeling. With its unresolved campaign storyline and a multiplayer that is based on microtransactions, the franchise must now look ahead to find a way to redeem itself once more.    … Expand

    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.
