Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=Zeos;52756240]So does someone at DICE absolutely hate Obi Wan?[/QUOTE] Nah its just all the other characters are more interesting or new.

And he wasn't added in the DLC for the first game because...? They fucking added Nien Nub before Obi-Wan

Just watched a stream, what the hell's up with the birds and leaves on Theed? It looks fucking ridiculous.

[QUOTE=qwea00;52756041]Anyway, I've contemplated buying the game for PS4 instead of PC due to the lower player count. I mean, even an excellent game like Titanfall 2 died down fast.[/QUOTE] tifa2 launched at pretty much the worst possible time not helped by the previous game's reputation of being a niche low player count game and a much bigger learning curve than other popular shooters, plus it didn't have one of the world's biggest licensed IPs to back up its popularity

[QUOTE=Skyward;52756396]Just watched a stream, what the hell's up with the birds and leaves on Theed? It looks fucking ridiculous.[/QUOTE]leaves look fine to me but the birds are overkill

For some reason this game eats up 68% of my 6700k CPU. Why? I also noticed that in 5760x1080 resolution, there's an odd scan line waving effect going on.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;52756422]leaves look fine to me but the birds are overkill[/QUOTE] I found some spot covered in leafs that appear to be some inter-dimensional portal for birds [editline]7th October 2017[/editline] they won't stop spawning [editline]7th October 2017[/editline] hlep

[QUOTE=Zeos;52756388]And he wasn't added in the DLC for the first game because...? They fucking added Nien Nub before Obi-Wan[/QUOTE] Why would they add him in a game that was purely OT? They could've added old Ben maybe but I can't really see that fitting if I'm honest, couldn't say why. [editline]8th October 2017[/editline] Though he seemed pretty spry in some of the TV shows so what do I know :s:

I really wish they had more unique weapons/abilities to differentiate the classes from one another.

I really hope Rey being in Naboo is just a place holder for Qui-Gon

[QUOTE=Joshii;52756067]It's nice to play a DICE game where the quit button works again[/QUOTE] Call me slow but is this sarcasm? And if so, is this an issue with other DICE games? Because I can not tell you how many games in this beta I have tried to quit at the end of a round only for the game to be like "NOBODY SAID YOU COULD LEAVE MOTHERFUCKER" :why:

[QUOTE=Zeos;52756388]They fucking added Nien Nub before Obi-Wan[/QUOTE] Because Nein Nub's head model was already made for the Rebel troops. They didn't originally plan to add Heroes to that DLC, and since it was last minute decision they chose characters they already had head models for. [editline]7th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=redBadger;52756638]I really hope Rey being in Naboo is just a place holder for Qui-Gon[/QUOTE] Seems unlikely. Some of the heroes have cross era lines for interaction, though it is only for characters they would actually know. For example, Palpatine and Yoda have banter. As do Palpatine and Maul. Though except Rey, she only has lines for Han. [editline]7th October 2017[/editline] Though, I could see them limiting Cross Era heroes later on once the amount balances out.

Would be interesting if Bossk was a hero for both the OT and PT, since he appears in TCW. Same with Dengar if he ends up readded.

Are there any cosmetic options in this one? Or is it all just based on your class.

Another little complaint but I really dislike the "hologram" previews and victory poses and all that stuff. I know why they're doing it I just don't really care for it. I would like to see the full 3D models in all of its glory.

Played about an an hour and a half. Liking it better than BF1 so far. Starfighter Assault is a lot of fun. So glad they took the "press button to flip" thing they had from the first one. And the fighters actually feel different from each other. I kinda hate the TIE Interceptor though. Four cannons, yet the slowest firing ship? Granted, I haven't tried the bombers yet, but you'd think the interceptor would have a faster firing gun. I have to agree with the weapons being strangely inaccurate. First couple shots are fine, but after that they're going all over the place. Still liking it though.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52755200]BF2 in the final release is meant to have better anti cheat[/quote] Yeah Yeah, that's always what they say. The only anti cheat that works is having people in servers banning people and that's not a thing EA does, nor will they, and since there isn't any server browser or private servers at all, the people who actually play can't police it either I saw what happened in the first one, and it's going to be no different here. Which is a real damn shame. Look at all the talent that clearly went into making this and they're going to let a few bad apples completely ruin an entire platform One change in the game I'd like to see is get rid of the second Super Battle Droid and replace it with a Droideka. Also, the game runs perfectly at 1080 maxed out with shadows on medium. FX8350, R9 380, 16GB RAM. Probably runs fine with shadows topped off, too, but I just go straight to always knocking those on Medium

Theed seems kinda unfair considering its tan characters vs white characters in front of tan buildings Like i get they dont really have a choice but it only makes the 'get shot from 3 miles away by a dude you clouldnt see' battlefield experience turn into 'get shot from 3 feet away by a dude you couldnt see'

I would like to see the full 3D models in all of its glory.[/QUOTE] Didn't (DICE) Battlefront I had a display mode where you can view some if not all models in their glory and quality? They should just allow us to view any model, because they of all people should know how much Star Wars fans love to stare at high-quality models of their favourite armours/characters.

[QUOTE=Skyward;52756844]Are there any cosmetic options in this one? Or is it all just based on your class.[/QUOTE] As of the beta, only Heroes have cosmetics. How your normal trooper looks depends on the map and class. [editline]7th October 2017[/editline] Ah the RK3 referenced in the Beta files is the Imperial officer pistol from Rebels. (model not from the game, but this is what it looks like) [t]https://cults.s3.amazonaws.com/uploaders/4701378/illustration-file/7d1f4556-3c7d-44e8-a7c4-84894e031bd1/2_large.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Zeos;52756388]And he wasn't added in the DLC for the first game because...? They fucking added Nien Nub before Obi-Wan[/QUOTE] Man don't be hating on Nien Nunb.

Anyone got a SWTOR referral link I can use? I wanna play the new story shit but don't wanna buy a sub rn

Because I can not tell you how many games in this beta I have tried to quit at the end of a round only for the game to be like "NOBODY SAID YOU COULD LEAVE MOTHERFUCKER" :why:[/QUOTE] Battlefield 1 wouldn't let you quit between matches except for like a 5 second gap at the end of a round, doesn't seem to be an issue with Battlefront 2, or atleast as much as it was in Battlefield 1 cause that would get ridiculous

When I quit at the end of the round it sometimes puts me in a brand new game

I really wanted to like bf2(2), but it seems like they took the problems of the first one and either did nothing to fix them, or made them worse the classes don't actually add anything at all to the depth or strategy like battlefield classes do, they're basically just more restrictive versions of being able to choose abilities in the last game? it's nice that you get the visuals to match the loadout, especially the ARC troopers, but it seems it could be handled much better. adding to that there's the terrible temporary squad system, somehow they found something even worse than the buddy system... there's absolutely no sense of teamwork whatsoever credit where it's due, earning vehicles and heroes instead of the random allocation is a pretty big improvement, the graphics are great as always, and they improved the space combat almost enough to actually make it kind of fun at times it's still just such a spammy clusterfuck though. as an individual you have very little bearing on the outcome of the match, and the squad and communication tools are too poor to work as a team. combine that with the low skill ceiling on the combat, and the RNG focus of the progression system, I can't find a reason to keep playing. after one night of playing I feel totally burnt out

Yeah really imo they probably should really have just made it more like battlefield with a squad system and squad spawning along with 64 player combat. Same goes for the space battles. Why can't the AI be filled in with actual players? Sometimes Naboo just feels empty.

Listening to Bossk's sound clips. He mentions the 'Scorekeeper' from Trandoshan lore, and also asks Vader if he knew Ventress, heh. [editline]7th October 2017[/editline] he also really dislikes Chewbacca, which makes sense considering hes a wookiee.

Advise not using chat - game has locked up on me twice now.

[QUOTE=Skyward;52756844]Are there any cosmetic options in this one? Or is it all just based on your class.[/QUOTE] I'm really hoping they end up doing something like race / regiment based customization. Being able to customize the Clones and such based on regiment (212th, Galactic Marines etc.) would be great. Doesn't even need to be in depth, BF2015's added a little bit of personality and I'd even be fine with that. [editline]8th October 2017[/editline] Let me play as Bacara already.
