Is that necessarily a bad thing? I mean, there are dozens or star wars games out there with story, so what's the harm in one that is just a multiplayer shooter in the star wars universe? May bring something a little new to that genre.

Haven't played it - don't think my computer could handle it, and I'm more a 'Steam Sales' kind of purchaser, but one of my friends has and he loves it. but then again he's a Star Wars nut.

How come?

in the earlier starwars films they had that stupid jar jar binks though it's just my opinion

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

but that had nothing to do with Disney....

I don't believe it's an appropriate game for the movies fan base .
I think most parents if they understood what this game is . wouldn't buy it .
by steam sales are you talking about multi player shooter games (quake) ?
i haven't played an online game since MechCommander .

Nah, I mean mainly games that are a few years old so get sold for a few dollars. You know how everybody is raving about Fallout 4? Well, I just bought Fallout 3

How to make money in the gaming industry.

1. Create a minimalist game. (game breaking bugs on launch optional)
2. DLC, DLC, DLC, DLC, Micro transactions, DLC, DLC.....
3. Profit

 

[dibo]

Juggernauts like GTA don't need micro-transactions.

I never come over to this side of the forum so I missed this - NECRO!

I got a few copies of Battlefront early (partner works at EA), and although it was pretty fun for a few hours, it gets really old fast. There's little depth to the game, it all boils down to essentially the same stuff each time, no larger arc to enjoy. Sure, you level up and get new weapons, but there's barely any indication that they are actually better later on. As soon as you have the grenades and jump-pack, you don't need anything else.

Environments are ok, but there are some duds that I always want to skip. They seem to all revolve around a central space where everyone is just firing across at each other, while a ring of tunnels/paths runs around the outside. The larger levels are interesting, but still boring once you get the hang of it.

It's a pity, as they did have a chance here to make something great. Heck, if they'd re-skinned BF1942 it would have been more enjoyable. Seems like they made a fairly casual shooter, but didn't add much depth.

All that said, it's one of the prettiest games I've ever played. Frostbite engine is pretty amazing, and even now when everyone is using physically-based shading, it stands above the rest. If they remake Dark Forces in that engine oh boy. That would be something.

6/10 - Pretty, enough for a few hours/days, gets old fast.

So, what you're saying is that it's Battlefield 3/4/5/6/7/whatever-they're-all-the-same-now with lasers?
