    Star Wars Bugfront 2 #gambling and #pay2win
    This game is a punch in the face from EA to all Star Wars fans. Buggy and pay2win. EA placed several mechanisms to assure you won’t get credits enough, they are forcing us buy loot boxes to progress or be ganked by rich people over and over again.

    It's not a game. It's money grab scheme with elements of game. Removing pay2win temporarily won't do anything because whole thing is built upon it. It will fall apart soon and they already looking for another way to squeeze last dollar out of you.

    I was looking forward to this game as the first game isn't too bad, despite the lack of content on launch. Looking at Jim Sterling's video showing how buggy the game is. Shame they didn't spend more time on well you know, MAKING THE GAME instead of game breaking loot boxes. Where is this going to end?

    The loot boxes were "turned off," not "fixed". The question you gotta ask yourself is this: "Does EA care enough about the consumer to leave them off when the heat dies down?" I think their history speaks for itself on how much they care about the consumer.

    I will try and keep this brief, Starbores gamblefront is the latest reskin for the now 15 year old Battlefield formula; over the years the game engine has progressed to be an amazing lensflare simulator where they tack the trusted battlefield gameplay loop onto it with various degrees of success.

    That being said, the strength of the idea proves that the core mechanics does make for really fun game in spite of EA and Dice’s best efforts.
    Yes, this is one of those hating on EA reviews and I am not going to dress it up as otherwise because while this game really SHOULD be a must buy and it’s clear EA and Dice have spent a lot of money and technological prowess on this game the sheer naked avarice and totally anti customer practices by dragging in the worse pay to win and mobile gaming’s physiological tricks to try and induce children to develop a gambling habit and milk those most vulnerable players into those much sought after transaction whales by making the game so mindboggling frustrating to play unless you carry on with the fee to play investments like making it so you would have to spend a working week grinding to get to play Darth Vader.
    Yep that’s right, unless you carry on spending in already full price game, the key characters to even the battle out will be locked behind nigh impossible grind and you will lose to those who will just drop money to unlock them.

    I was truly excited to play this game. The foundation is there. The game itself has plenty of redeeming qualities, until you get to the progression system. The progression system essentially ruins an otherwise good game which is sadly all based in greed and predatory transactions. For the sake of competitive gaming and honest business practices, I cannot give it a higher score than 0.

I love star wars, but ea and Disney are single handedly ruining it. its actually amazing to see it, because they had so much potential at the start. so much hope. and we get this. what a shame. y9u cancel the open world sw game because it will make less money (but it would be more fun than this pile of garbage I tell you that) then you make micro transactions a must. wow. fire your ceo and start over or something we aren't just $ signs ea we are customers. start actually listening and giving us products we want. DON't spend money on this. seriously, this game is worth more than the 0 its rated but its time to change this micro transaction crap. please as a community lets do this to actually change EA for the better or there is NO hope for future games.… Expand

    I will set aside the money I would have spent on this game and reserve it to be spent on products by deserving independent developers, instead. The only way I *might* see myself supporting this product would be if EA acknowledges their faults, reworks these systems and guarantees never to implement non-cosmetic micro-transactions into the game in perpetuity.

To get these StarCards you need to gamble real life money or spend many hours to have enough in-game currency to buy loot boxes. So every unit has 3 slots for Starcards, you have one opened slot by default, the rest can be opened by getting StarCards, and how do you get Starcards, though LOOTBOXES/GAMBLING.

    Microtransactions (loot boxes included) is killing the heart and soul of gaming.
    Microtransactions "IS", because we all need to unite to kill this final BOSS.
    And from the carcasses of EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Take-2 we will loot the most incredible of legendary loot (real loot), our due legacy!
    Meaningful and rewarding progression systems, incredible unlockables also cosmetics for in games feats and challenges, compelling stories and rich, living worlds, innovative mechanics and balanced, addictive multiplayer.

    We will equip our wallets, wield our credit cards and unleash the flurry of online payments and we will shape the destiny of Gaming Kingdom, but first the False Emperor "EA", Fallacious Prophet "Take-Two Interactive", heretic priest "Ubisoft" and their court necromancer "Activision" must all pay the ultimate price for the well-being of our great civilization. Their fall will mark the dawn of golden era of gaming.

    The suit-clad CEO barbarians, who enslaved millions of their normie bretherens and now advance leading ruthless horde into our lands. They have no place in our society. They took our worlds, they defiled girlfriends we don't have, their put our basement forts to the torch.

It has the lowest user score ever in meta critic history. It also has such a high amount of disgust and push back from the video gaming community that EA had to "temporarily remove" the microtransactions from the game. DO NOT BE FOOLED! Do not think that "oh great!, they removed it now I can go buy the game!" Its a trap! I cant even comment or review the rest of the game because this has completely overshadowed the actual game. We as gamers cannot let this pass. This free to play mentality in a paid game has no business in here period.… Expand

Esto está pensado para que el jugador se frustre y tenga que pagar con dinero real para conseguir los logros y los objetos del mismo juego. Además, se demuestra que EA busca generar un nuevo mercado entorno a los micro pagos, y no en la venta de videojuegos.

    En Reddit los usuarios se quejaron. EA contestó haciéndose el bueno para defender su postura. Entonces, recibió la cifra de medio millón de votos negativos. Por eso dijeron que iban a reducir el costo para desbloquear todo en el juego. Esto demuestra que sí se puede cambiar la industria en vez de aceptar el rumbo que toma solo porque sí.

    In English
    EA wants to do it again with this game. Putting micro transactions But the biggest aberration is when you have to spend 40 hours playing to unlock a single character. This is designed so that the player is frustrated and has to pay with real money to achieve the achievements and objects of the same game. In addition, it shows that EA seeks to generate a new market around micro payments, and not in the sale of video games.

    On Reddit users complained. EA answered doing good to defend his position. Then, he received the figure of half a million negative votes. That's why they said they were going to reduce the cost to unlock everything in the game. This shows that you can change the industry instead of accepting the course you take just because.    … Expand

    First... Let me tell you about me real quick. I'm 30. Love gaming. It's my biggest hobby. Never gave it up once. I never will unless I lose my eyes, hands, and or life. So you know I got some experience in gaming. Secondly... I never played this crappy game but guess what? I don't have to smell this dog crap to know that it's dog crap. Just do some research and have a little instinct and you will know that it's garbage. You know how a baby is a dumb human that knows next to nothing but some how still knows to be afraid of a snake or a spider that looks like it's about to strike? That's the same feeling you should have when you think about buying a garbage game like payupfront2. If you lack that feeling then you're either clueless about this game or you're a retarded fanboy who doesn't want to face reality.

    Saw the user rating on this game go as low a 0.3 for the xbox one lol. Heck... Big rigs has over a 3.0... Not even the joking trolls want to rate this game. Pretty much all gamers some where in the area of 99% are taking a crap on this terrible game. This might just be the most popular/most hated game of all time. The ps4 and pc version still have less than a 1.0 user rating. SHYEESH! This game blows lol.

    What's lame is that horrible micro transactions have been in gaming for like what? 5 years? Maybe more? I'm not sure but this stuff has been around for several years and NOW a lot of you gamers are finally starting to complain the way that you should have been complaining several years ago? For shame... a lot of gamers are pretty slow on the uptake... Talk about late to the party. I been trashing micro transaction games ever since 2012ish...

    The first micro transaction game I ever got was a free download game about the Spartacus tv show. It sucked... Then my first real full price micro transaction game that I got into was Destiny1. I can't believe I was stupid enough to give that game a chance... That's what I get for having blind faith in bungie. It sucked and I never bothered going back and didn't buy the micro transactions once. After being stupid enough to give that trash a chance I vowed to always be against micro transactions as much as I could... I learned my lesson... Never fall for corporate cash in bull**** from jerks like EA, activision, ubisoft etc etc... A lot of these groups were not so bad once upon a time several years ago... But man oh man have they gotten worse. MUCH WORSE! ESPECIALLY EA and Activision lol.

    I'm even more hardcore than most. I trash micro transaction that are even just cosmetic stuff only. I know that sounds a bit too hardcore... And I know that cosmetic micro transactions are no where near as bad as pay to win/one time use micro transactions that are tied to everything in the game basically... But they are still weak as **** micro transactions at the end of the day...

    Hear me out... Remember old fighting games where you could unlock costumes for the fighters by beating the game on a certain difficulty with that said character or maybe completing some sort of challenge? That was great! Gave you some incentive to play the game and get better at it. With cosmetic micro transactions now you just buy the crap... How lame is that? Pretty lame if you ask me... If you happen to really like the game and want to 100% the **** out of it then you wont be able to unless you buy all the cosmetics. Talk about over charging...

    Also... The devs only have so much time to make the game as good as possible. A game is only as good as how much work goes into it right? That's the truth for the most part anyways... So when a dev wastes precious time making a micro transaction system... That's them wasting time that they could have spent on actually making the game better and having more content actually in the game on launch day.

    Finally... Lets get real. Even if the micro transactions are cosmetic only... That's just a gateway drug if you will to the next games having even more invasive micro transactions than before. You think overwatch 2 is going to have micro transactions that are just as bad or not as bad as overwatch 1? No... OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE WORSE! You give them a inch and they will take a mile. Or in this case... You spend a little money and they will try to get you to empty your wallet. They just love to pressure folks into spending more and more money instead of actually making a real game don't they? They want to turn us players into payers that's all... Typical corporate greed getting more and more out of hand as the days go by. That's the gaming world of today for ya folks... Don't like it? Don't buy these crappy games...

    As a game, it is great. However, all of the effort put into making it is ruined by the blatant corporate greed that has turned it into a pay-to-win game.

    Star Wars Battlefront II has had quite a bit of bad press recently and most of it is deserved, but I will say that this new installment in the Battlefront series has seen some significant improvements over the last game and in my opinion this is a better game than its predecessor.

The biggest improvements come in the combat side of the game. The combat has a lot more variety this time around and everything just feels more fluid. In fact the gameplay on the whole feels more fluid and responsive throughout and the variation in each mode is fantastic and this definitely keeps you coming back for more time and time again. Playing online is without a doubt the best way to enjoy this game and thankfully everything in multiplayer works and holds up really well. I will say though that the progression when playing online feels extremely limited and you only feel that you really progress if you pay for it. I was also disappointed with how long it takes to unlock the most iconic characters in the game, and the amount of grinding needed can be very frustrating. They have however managed to nail the lore in the game extremely well and the best thing is that the story remains interesting and gripping throughout, which in turn makes a good single player campaign even better. The presentation side of the game is very impressive and I must admit that they’ve done a fantastic job here. Visually the game can look absolutely stunning at times, and the sound design is some of the best I’ve ever heard in a game, which is very impressive. At the end of the day the bad press the game has received recently will without a doubt put a lot of people off, but if you look past this and scratch beneath the surface a little bit you will find a very fun and enjoyable game. Don’t get me wrong the game is far from perfect but they have managed to make significant strides and improvements over the last game. If you’re a fan of Star Wars then you will love this game and when it’s all said and done it gets a lot more right than it gets wrong, so in the end it gets a recommendation from me.… Expand

The main problem I have with Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn’t even the loot boxes, its the fact that the game wasn’t even finished. The game was full of bugs and balances issues, it took them nearly a month to even talk about adding map voting, something that wasn’t even added to the original game so it should have been in from the start here, the campaign starts out fun and really interesting, but that quickly changes and you get a standard shooter campaign, and eventually feels like it was rushed losing most of what made it interesting as you go on, becoming more like a tutorial for the multiplayer than an actual single-player experience. It took a week or two for them to make the servers not an absolute mess, and they still have some problems once in a while. The lootboxes are still a problem even with them currently removed because earning the credits to buy them/unlock the items you want is still a tedious grind that harms the gameplay experience that could have otherwise been pretty good. I also love occasionally running into the people who probably had early access and paid for the lootboxes while they still could because they have fully upgraded kits as both heroes and troop units. There is no reason that the progression system should have been tied to lootboxes, it makes getting what you want a complete gamble, and was obviously done solely because EA couldn’t just stick with the millions they would have earned if Battlefront 2 would have been good, but instead wanted to ride those whales willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars into that billion dollar range.

    Honestly I don’t understand why the game was even released like this, oh wait, yeah I do, because it was more important to shove the game out the door before The Last Jedi to ride the hype train. I remember when the original Battlefront 2 came out back in 2005, guess what, the servers worked and the game was pretty damn balanced, because they cared about quality back when then because they couldn’t just patch out all the problems and throw a broken mess on to the market and how people don’t get pissed off before they fix it.

    Disney, if you have any respect for the Star Wars franchise, please, either force your way into making sure the development of these games by EA and make sure they aren’t making a mockery of your cash cow, or if you knew about what they were doing with the lootbox progression system (like a lot of people including myself believe) then shame on you for letting this gambling simulator be sold to children.

    I do not recommend it, better wait to play it for free with EA Access

    EA might be the worst company on the planet. They took a game with great gameplay and visuals and destroyed it simply because they wanted to milk money out of Star Wars. Microtransactions need to die an so does EA.

I thought I'd be playing this **** for years! I thought they'd be constantly updating, patching, ADDING NEW CONTENT!!!! I played it for the first time because of the new progression update and it's still a boring **** game I progressed through everything interesting in those 3 weeks and the linear game modes weren't captivating enough to sustain interest for longer than a couple hours.
    They somehow **** up elements from the first game and never bother to fix them. Hero design is improved in some respects but DRASTICALLY ruins some of the best elements from the previous game. Battlefront 2 ea 2017 is both buggier and laggier than the first game as if they wanted to throw even LESS money into this one hoping it would keep their sinking ship afloat. It's almost as if the EA STAR WARS business plan is "use the SW name and spend lots on marketing to implement our core principles here at EA: 'Low cost, High reward' "
    The corporate shlong in this game is very apparent from the tacked on campaign to the horrible communication and BLATANT LIES we were told. I bought the game when it came out and was so excited because it looked very fun in previews and WAS very fun in the beta. It had some glaring issues but I thought they would be overshadowed by the cool maps and fun ships and star wars feeling and the promised CONSTANT UPDATES! What we received is a boring, BUGGY AND LAGGY, repetitive, and unimaginative scam.
    The first EATM StarTM WarsTM BattlefrontTM was at least something I liked to play for stupid fun with some pretty well designed maps and settings that really enhanced the sometimes bland gameplay. You could feel there was a passion there. The originals (2004-05) were and were shaping up (Battlefront 3 and 4) to be one of the most innovative game franchises in the industry. When I saw the cool settings for Battlefront 2 2017, I thought they looked like what I would do with a Star Wars game that had a committee producing it. What I played was pretty entertaining at first but the more I played, the more the absolutely horrible level design, overwhelmingly uninspired aesthetic, and repetitive nature of the gameplay left me so apathetic towards it.
    It's not a horrible game for the most part. Fighting in ships is great. That's about it. Nothing else elevates this experience past it's predecessors and will leave you dissatisfied in almost every manner. The graphics are nice and Darth Maul is fun, 2/10    … Expand

    and the casino also has a battle arena where you can check out your recent winnings - when you enter the arena first without entering the slot machines you get obliterated by players who got lucky lately.

    so you head to the slot machines to try your luck.
    you earn a few basic items and then you enter the arena,you destroy the other players in that arena and that feeling makes you think "if i only gambled this little amount and got such items what would i get if i bet 1000$?" so you go back with 1000$ for some spins on the slot machine

    you spin the premium machine a few times and get some next level sh*t,a burst of excitement fills your heart every time the lootbox opens and the adrenaline rush keeps you going in again and again.

    after a few hours and after you bet all of your money in the slot machines you go to the arena where you destroy all of the players and you get ranked #1 every single game for HOURS.
    after a while you decide that you had enough from the casino so you go to the counter and ask "where can i cash out my winnings?" the counter laughs at you and says "well,you can't cash out your items - but you can use them on the next time you visit STAR WARS HOTEL & CASINO"

    you look at him with anger and disbelief,you try to argue with him but to no avail,eventually you leave the casino filled with anger and frustration and you keep asking yourself : "why did they lure me in to this scam by using the name STAR WARS - a franchise that i love to take my hard-earned cash?"    … Expand

And grindy on purpose, as part of encouraging the horrible unescapable slot-machine loot boxes.

I'm not the best shooter, but in Battlefield 1 I usually scored high because there was a lot I could do to help my team besides win 1-on-1 gun battles. In this game, I feel like cannonfodder for the better players who start with better guns, and then get heroes. The "galactic assault" mode is too linear and choke-point laden compared to something like "conquest" in Battlefield 1. And the rewards you get are mostly based on how long the game lasted, not what you did! I saw a game on You Tube where the Republic took out both MTTs on Kashyyyk, which is impressive, and the payout in credits and experience was low. That's backwards! The single player campaign was short and a disappointment. What has happened to player agency in modern games? The game is also quite buggy.

It'll will never be like the original Battlefront 2. you can play co-op with a friend but only with split-screen. Yes I said that right, only with split screen. You cannot do online co-op. Excuse me for a second but seriously EA, what were you morons thinking when you stupidly forgot to add that option for the co-op part of the game. Next, it takes FOREVER to get good cards for the characters. Not only that, you have to level up each character to a level in order to add an extra card slot to that character. On top of that you have to collect enough scrap in order to upgrade your cards so that you can level them up. So while all that is going on, you are being killed 1,000,000,000,000,000 more times then the player with the already suped up gear, who probably also has been playing this game longer than you or utilizes their superior money skills to get stronger and better gear than you. So yeah, multiplayer sucks. I can say however that visually it is great, it sounds exactly like a Star Wars game should and although it takes forever to level them up and get all the 'good gear' the amount of classes and characters there are is satisfactory. They did a decent job with the story, I wish it was a little longer and not so repetitive towards the end, but overall I was satisfied with it. Overall, it is an enjoyable game for a short period of time, but I wish I didn't buy the game digitally because I'm almost at the point of never playing it again so it's just going to be collecting a lot of that digital dust. Save your money for whatever other game you were thinking about purchasing.… Expand

    Battlefront II is fan service and little else; much respect to the craft, the attention to detail and the wealth of content, but sadly it just isn't enough. It's starting to feel as if Star Wars simply isn't a franchise suitable for this type of sprawling, large-scale multiplayer experience. It doesn't have it in its bones, and if DICE can't find a way to make it work, we're fearful nobody can. [Issue#195, p.72]

    Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will go down as one of the biggest screw ups in video game history. EA and DICE had the easiest job in the world and completely ruined it with the absolutely ridiculous and downright unacceptable progression system for multiplayer. Combine that with the incredibly boring, lazy, and cliche story campaign and you easily have the biggest disappointment of 2017.
