Nov 17, 2017Unbelievable. EA has done it again. Once again ruining a potentially fantastic game with greedy marketing tactics. Not only is $60+ title heavily inclusive of microtransactions, but the game is also RIDDLED with bugs and glitches. SWBF2 isn't worth its microtransactions, isn't worth its season pass, heck, it isn't even worth its $60 price tag in its current state. Another disappointment.
-
Nov 17, 2017Microtransations in 60$ game, pathetic.
- 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 -
Nov 17, 2017Shameless cash-in to exploit consumers. EA is a predator. Do not buy this game. Disney needs to do the right thing and take the Star Wars license back and give it to a company that will not shart in its consumers' faces.
-
Nov 18, 2017Péssima posição da empresa em adotar o pay to win, além de que tem que pagar pelo jogo. Agora se posicionou dizendo que está "temporariamente" suspenso o pay to win. Vergonhoso. Nota 0. Não vou comprar mais apesar de ser muito fã da série Star Wars.
-
Nov 17, 2017Micro transactions up to 2100 $ ? **** you EA, you're one greedy company. I do not even care how good the game may be, they way you responded on Reddit as a company said enough.
-
Nov 17, 2017Shame on EA!
Short story,microtransactions,annoying lootboxes,....
You cant even use your pre order dlc and deluxe upgrade on others user of your console :/ -

Nov 17, 2017As you can see EA in their own way they can spoil their games, in that they are the best by their greed. May I have a hiccup on this pawn? I'm asking other players that this game is weak
-
Nov 17, 2017A mediocre game with simplistic and limited gameplay, a poor campaign and small selection of content that has been brought even lower by a frankly insane micro-transaction system which all but forces players to shell out more money to play the only partly enjoyable aspect of the game.
This game was designed to exploit consumers, pathetic attempt. -

Nov 17, 2017EA did something very difficult... It made people hate Star Wars themed game... Bravo
What is worse, people will buy it (thanks You very much) and EA will continue doing 'great' job. -
Nov 17, 2017Nope! Not going to support this loot box, pay for an advantage model. This kind of practice is creeping into all the big titles this year and it has to STOP!!!
-
Nov 17, 2017Loot boxes and "micro-transactions" are absolutely unacceptable in an $60 AAA game. Keep that sh*t for the free mobile games. This could be a good game, but EA's greed ruins it all, and don't believe that micro-transactions are gone. They are gonna come back and in greater numbers.
-
Nov 17, 2017Micro transaction has gone too far in the gaming industry, this needs to be put to a stop and only the gamers can make this happen. Do not support EA and their money hungry business practice, it all started with monopolizing the NFL with it's Madden franchise and now this. It'll only get worse before it gets better but it doesn't mean it can't start now.

Nov 24, 2017Absolute microtransaction, lootbox trash, the very culmination of EA's greed. **** this game, **** EA. Don't waste a single cent on this game, or you are supporting this crap.

Nov 20, 2017I am really sad because this game is a BIG disappointment for me, the graphics are good but the gameplay is sometimes really borig, and the microtransactions in this game is very disgusting!!!!
Shame yourself Electronic Arts!!!!! -
Nov 19, 2017Greed Greed Greed Greed Greed Greed Greed!!! Stop with this! We want old school stuff!
Im not a fan of pay to win, and dropping $100 on top of a $60 game to *maybe* get enough credits to buy out a *single* hero is ridiculous. -
Nov 19, 2017The First Loot Box battle is won. But war is not over, don't be fooled by evil. Empire will strike back. Stand strong beloved veterans and prepare your keyboards for a final battle.
-
Nov 19, 2017The graphics are realy nice and the performance is also good. but microtransactions are the worst thing EA could have done to this game.
Battlefront II (2005) is a much better game in every aspect. Pls do not support EA -

Nov 20, 2017First 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.

Nov 22, 2017Greed to no end. Horrible business practices, I hope EA gets rated worst company again. Cancelled my pre-order when the news broke. It’s a shame too because the game its of looked great.
-
Nov 25, 2017Another failed attempt to monopolize on people with addictive personalites...please do yourself a favor and do not buy this load of garbage! Now if you really must have it wait until its in the clearance bin at walmart

May 11, 2018The 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.

Nov 16, 2017Im sick and tired of EA crap politics towards gaming community. This game deserves to die in pain and so do EA. Im giving it a score of 0 ( Sub-Zero ) because it is insult to any normal human. Is this a next level of leaching $$$ ?! Buy a game,buy a season pass and we finally get final puzzle called pay-to-win in multiplayer oriented game. No more ! Refund initiated !
-
Nov 15, 2017Do not buy! This is a P2W game, EA has completely destroyed it in its quest to loot your wallet for money. Great graphics though, good job on the graphics and “mood” Dice.
-
Nov 15, 2017
-
Nov 15, 2017Execrable capitalist privilege applied to a multiplayer game. Pay to win has no place in full-priced multiplayer competitive games. It's a scam, pure and simple
-
Nov 15, 2017Don't buy this game. They killed all fun in it by grind and lootboxes. It is even worse that P2W mobile games. They are thinking that players are idiots.

Nov 15, 2017I do not support this business practice. The real price of the game is hidden in microtransactions and it has become a pay to win game which appears to be aimed to milking as much money as possible rather than providing an enjoyable experience.
-
Nov 15, 2017I wanted to put this game a 10 because it's great, but i can't because i haven't yet received my "10/10 score" card from those stupid lootboxes.
They should've put cosmetics and visual customization only into lootboxes, no one would say a word. EA could make tons of money by selling just visuals. But no, they had to go and ruin character progression by making it into pay-to-win. -
Nov 16, 2017
-
Nov 16, 2017Greed. Thats it. Destroy everything good whit the title because they want more money. This **** has to stop. I am a HUGE Star Wars fan, and for that reason im not going to accept EA business policy. Nope, no money from me

Nov 16, 2017Don't you dare to buy this disgusting cash grab. All progress turned into grindfest to force you to buy loot boxes. Buying this game you make every new game will look like mobile clicker when the point is not the design, interesting story, but building a system which all the time for buying just one more box to the point when your bank account will be exact 0.
-

Nov 16, 2017There was no sense of accomplishment when they made this game. Taking one of the greatest online multiplayer games and ruining the name by giving it the same title for the remake is deplorable. They are money hungry and greedy and this game showcases that.
-
Nov 15, 2017Pay to win mechanics on a full priced game, seriously? SERIOUSLY?!
Bye EA, it was the last time i put money in one of your games, THE LAST F****** TIME!! -
Nov 16, 2017Boycott this game. EA is greedy. Don't support this kind of behavior from developers, else other developers will also want to follow. Micro transactions are bad for gaming.
-
Nov 16, 2017Pay to win, Awful game. The online is totally broken, Nobody should buy this game, EA is a piece of ****
No respect for the player anywhere. Abusive DLC -

Nov 17, 2017The Game is sure fun.......BUT EA/DICE Mictrotransaction Policy is just Greedy and
unbelievable !! Dont BUY This !! Let the wallets speak!!!
Pro: Solid Game
- Nice Heroes
- Cool Maps
- Cool Lincence Use
Con:
- F#ckin MICROTRANSACTION IN A FULL PRIZE GAME!!!
EA R.I.P -
Nov 16, 2017Urgh. Beautiful game so I gave it a 1 for the graphics but, just like many others had told me, it's pay to win.
Luckily I played it on my friend's console so I didn't waste my money. Don't waste yours either.
On the up side, I just finished The Evil Within 2. That was great. And I didn't have to pay to win! Buy that game instead! -
Nov 15, 2017If it is only the seller who is offensive and aggressive with his demands, capitalism will not serve the consumer anymore. We are not witch hunting. We are merely voicing our demands now, the demands that the consumers have. Noise that the gaming industry is not used to hear. Anymore.

Nov 16, 2017Utter junk, its gambling for kids, they should be threw in jail nothing but criminals. Shame on you EA and shame on you Disney you greedy greedy soulless pigs.
-
Nov 16, 2017this game it so bad this my first review i ever posted in my life. this game is the great example where we going in gaming if continue buy this cash and grab. the story is okay but all the is made to make you buy crates. It feel like im playing mobile game and is not good for game that cost $60.
-
Nov 15, 2017This game had potential, but EA has saddled it with a pay-to-win loot box gear progression system. This is absolutely game breaking in the online multiplayer and ruins all potential this game had. I really wish Disney would reconsider having EA as the exclusive publisher for Star Wars games.
-

Nov 16, 2017An utter blight upon the gaming landscape. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is an unfinished game full of experience ruining bugs and awful micro transactions.
-
Nov 16, 2017Absolutely disgusting business practice from one of the most horribly disgusting companies ever. all reviews for game highlighting that you can just ignore the micro transactions miss the blatant that IT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE GAME FROM THE START.
-
Nov 16, 2017We must put a stop to this broken way to enjoy games. Pay to win is not ok in a full price game. The only way to get the message across is to vote with your wallet.
-
Nov 15, 2017Has great graphics and sound but............
microtransactions and lootboxes in a 60$ game?
Boycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EABoycott EA -
Nov 16, 2017This game clearly scores a 0. Microtransactions, lootboxes and so on sucks. Next time EA bahve your customers. And stop thinking that custmers are cash cows.

Nov 15, 2017its time for the gaming community to wake up. This assessement is not against DICE - they have made a wonderful game with quality sound and graphics. With greath details and catchy gameplay.
This 0 is for you EA. Taste the salt you made yourself with your terible market policy. -
Nov 16, 2017EA + Disney = We want your money = 0.9 User Score.
"We have fixed the issues from the beta"...No, they have actually made it worse.
Really, let EA die already. -
Nov 16, 2017This game is terrible, its a massive grind to get anything and it forces you to buy pay to win loot box's, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Show ea we will not tolerate microtransactions in full priced games
-
Nov 16, 2017A que estamos llegando?? Pagar por un juego 70 eurazos para tener que seguir pagando por cajas y mierdas sino en el online eres un mojon. Una campaña de 3 horas y media.
Micropagos? 100 euros es un micropago?? -
Nov 16, 2017So you need 2100 euros to get the complete experience of this game. How is possible that the press gave a 75 to this "videogame"? Be sincere and give a correct puntuations, don't lie to the fans. The graphics looks cool and the game is DECENT and playable, but Nothing More. EA is killing the industry.
-
Nov 16, 2017This is an insult to us, the Star Wars fans, we don't deserve to be treated like this. It's our chance after many years of drought of movies to have the games at excellent level. Just imagine a Star Wars game made by Naughty Dog or CD Projekt Red. EA is trying to steal us. We need to stop this!
-
Nov 16, 2017Good if you have the money to invest in this game. This game is focused on getting as much as money as possible from the users. Apparently, EA doesn't care about the gamers if you don't pay your progress is horrible. Such a good game ruined because of microtransactions.
-
Nov 17, 2017Жадность фраера сгубила.
Да пусть она хоть трижды прекрасная во всех отношениях игра, но за жадность издателя она будет страдать. Жестко, но справедливо. -
Nov 16, 2017
-
Nov 17, 2017don't f*ck with us. make a game which is game-worthy. Steal our money once when we buy it. Don't keep steeling it !! The community will not except this like we see here!
-
Nov 15, 2017Garbage Pay 2 win system that is more focused on a cash grab, and how much money it can milk from players than anything. This is essentially a virtual gambling simulator. Imagine if you went to a Casino and before you sat down at any slot machine, you had to pay someone to let you sit down to play, before you put money into the machine. That is essentially this game.
-
Nov 16, 2017Shockingly blatant attempt at a money grab.
EA are asking consumers to buy this game at full price, AS WELL as pay again for loot boxes?
Scandalous! -
Nov 16, 2017An otherwise enjoyable game ruined by greedy micro transactions that severely stunt progression in this game in a strong handed attempt to get you to spend real money on random loot crates. Do not give EA your money. You will only legitimize their greedy business tactics.
-
Nov 15, 2017Lets be honest, SW Battlefront II is a gorgeous game that plays decently, however it is PAY TO WIN and isn't fair in the slightest. Progression is lootboxes and all the heroes are locked behind pay walls. Not at all worth your time! A decent game completely ruined by corporate greed! Curse you EA, everything you touch turns from gold to sh8t....smh
-
Nov 16, 2017This game is such a disipointment, I where so hyped for this game and when the beta was a pay to win money maker for EA i though that i'd never buy this game. Later Ea said that they where making it better, what a lie.
DON'T BUY THIS MICROTRANSACTION OF A GAME! -
Nov 15, 2017Microtransactions like these are going to ruin the gaming industry.
I was really excited for this game but the lootboxes ruined everything for me.
Dice has done such a good job of making a fun first-person-shooter, but all EA cares about is money.
Thanks for ruining everything, EA! -
Nov 16, 2017

Nov 15, 2017EA are ruining games for everyone. There is no place for microtransactions in a full priced AAA game. What a horrible, low and greedy company they have become. Avoid like the plague!

Nov 16, 2017no puedo creer que hobby consolas le diera 91 WTF,Por otro lado si me dan a describir el juego con una palabra seria [injusticia] nada mas que decir...
-
Nov 16, 2017What everyone else has already said, avoid this game at all costs. The developers have made their intentions clear that they have no interest in making a quality product and instead are trying to charge as much as possible out of their customers. In addition, some of the content, cinematic, and story shown off in the trailers is not actually in the game.
-
Nov 16, 2017Mas que un videojuego es una cajero para EA, jamás podría sacar a los personajes sin pagar 2000 dolares en DLC, ya que para desbloquearlos normal hay que jugar más de 4mil horas!!!!!!! Aparte de la mierda de que no tiene una campaña para un jugador (offline) ya que 3 horas de campaña es una burla. Las cajas botín son para sacerte mas y mas dinero. NO LO COMPREN!!!!!!

Nov 14, 2017You’ll better off saving your money for the movie in December... There are many games out there that are well worth your money. Stay away from this greedy pay to win game...
-
Nov 14, 2017The game would've been great, if they hadn't completely ruined the balancing/progression with micro-transactions. The visuals and game play are solid enough, but the greed is what shines through the most here. I will no longer support any EA game, as long as it has any form of micro-transactions in it.

Playstation Official Magazine UKFeb 6, 2018Excellent 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]
-
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.
