• SW - Battlefront 2 Campaign Gameplay Footage

Progression is fine and it honestly helps keep me playing a game personally but time gated progression and lootcrates that give an advantage are awful. I'm really interested in the campaign but sadly it's gonna' be short and probably won't really live up to any expectations I have because it's probably not really the main development focus. Decently done Empire-side star wars isn't something that you see enough of. Overall I'm kinda' over the DICE game multiplayer experience anyways, so eh. Maybe there'll be an opportunity to get the game on sale with a hefty percentage discount a few years down the line.
[QUOTE=LeonS;52806117]giving EA exclusive rights to Star Wars games was a beyond terrible mistake [/QUOTE] I agree.
[QUOTE=MendozaMan;52805409]Also a shame space combat looks like the weak shit it already was in Battlefront 1, just shinier.[/QUOTE] Speaking as someone who hated starship combat in the first game, Starship Assault in Battlefront II-2 almost sells the game on its own. It's really fun.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;52805315]Don't need to answers things that are obvious.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Tuskin;52805255]Because it wouldn't be fair. What about the people who don't like to play against ai? Why should people who do get an advantage? This is balancing.[/QUOTE] You pretty much seem ready to justify literally anything that they do tbh at this point this is actually pathetic. It's not even worth bringing up points because you're so nose deep into EA's ass that your entire face is brown. You are very blatantly OK with what is essentially a freemiumification of a premium price game. If they timegated you from getting credits in MP and you could only get a certain amount, meaning you can only get lets say, 1/10 the amount double-paying users get, I'm sure you'd find a way to call it "Fair and balanced". How much money will you be giving EA? $70? $100? $160? They clearly aren't paying you because that would cost them too much money.
I just... don't fucking understand how you can drink the kool-aid that much? Like it was a fun beta, but like, anyone who doesn't drop money on lootboxes is objectively fucked in the ass, and there's no defending how light on content the entire prequel trilogy section is, or how the game actually had massive bugs like the gunships being completely fucked this far into development.
[QUOTE=Berman Slick;52808825]So it's going to be a really well made, beautiful, fun game made by a team that does great work? [sp]That's always horribly published by a shitty shitty shitty publisher?[/sp][/QUOTE] The DICE name doesn't mean what it used to. It's a very different company today.
The SP feels so dull, I was hoping it'd receive a campaign like Titanfall 2, but my expectations were probably a bit too high. DICE has been declining in quality since Battlefield Bad Company 2, the fact that the campaign seems to be reused parts of MP just hits it harder. That and the shooting, from what I felt in the beta, was an absolute piss poor attempt. Nothing felt good to use, it was just a giant clusterfuck where all the guns felt like trash. Sniper rifles didn't even kill in one hit, they were just over-glorified pistols with long range. And oh god that acting.
that lady was fucking awful at E3. every third word out of her was "badass" and she made such a weak attempt at selling her character and the game. like jesus all of those powerposes and her constant "tough" talk. truly EA have some great talent. the only positive aspects of the game seem to be the visuals and most of the audio effects
[QUOTE=LeonS;52809492]the only positive aspects of the game seem to be the visuals and most of the audio effects[/QUOTE] they're worse then the first game TBH
I like Star Wars a lot. I like the original Battlefront games a lot...it's disapointing that this game looks like it'll be a success. The game is so simple and lacking depth, it's like creating a proper combined-arms team-based experience isn't even something they've considered. That's what the new series was missing compared to the originals or Battlefield; teamwork and mechanics that support it. This singleplayer campaign however, feels like it's being tacked on as an afterthought. The cutscenes look pretty great, but that's to be expected. Seeing places like the Theed palace and Takodana as well as pretty much every major character appear in this trailer just makes it feel like it's going to be a "greatest hits" use of all the multiplayer assets and finding some strange justification for shoving them into the story for the sake of it. That the 3rd Mission at Fondor is supposedly just the multiplayer map with a bit of story/linearity tacked on is just absurd if that's the case. [QUOTE=Tuskin;52805255]Because it wouldn't be fair. What about the people who don't like to play against ai? Why should people who do get an advantage? This is balancing.[/QUOTE] You're seriously using "balance" as an excuse in a game to limit how people play in a game that lets you pay to get better star cards which offer significant advantages? If "balance" and "Fairness" was truly a concern then those microtransactions shouldn't have even been thought about being included in the game. While they still have to level up to use those, that doesn't change they're getting an advantage over other players by paying money. [QUOTE=Tuskin;52805187]They care about crate sales, if people don't buy the crates then that also impacts how it works. [/QUOTE] This logic makes absolutely no sense. Yes, they want crate sales...no, they don't care that you won't buy them, as they're [I]not expecting[/I] everyone to buy them in the first place. Just going "don't buy them" is the norm; the people who don't want the boxes won't buy them as usual, the people that do will buy them, as usual. That's absolutely no change from the usual things that happen with their games there, so that stance with their previous games clearly does nothing at all as we're still getting lootboxes in these newer games. The only thing that would be a noticeable change that would support their removal is to not buy the game itself. By buying the game you'd be supporting their inclusion as you're telling them "there's nothing here that i consider negative enough to convince me to not give you want you want. Keep doing it, it's fine you'll still get me money".

[/QUOTE] To be fair, Naboo at least [URL="starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_over_Naboo"]is justified[/URL] but yeah, I've ultimately ended up losing interest in this game. A shame, since starfigher combat felt pretty solid to me and the singleplayer plot sounded promising. It's just not worth all the other bullshit that comes with it.
I miss when games felt like they were primarily campaign with a second priority (but usually amazing) multiplayer, instead of primarily multiplayer with a 4th priority mediocre and tacked on campaign (after loot boxes and dlc).
[QUOTE=Treznor;52809779]I miss when games felt like they were primarily campaign with a second priority (but usually amazing) multiplayer, instead of primarily multiplayer with a 4th priority mediocre and tacked on campaign (after loot boxes and dlc).[/QUOTE] I feel like CoD is one of the last FPS series that still at least tries this.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;52809913]I feel like CoD is one of the last FPS series that still at least tries this.[/QUOTE] For all the shit that CoD gets I'm still glad that they seem to put a ton of effort into their campaigns.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;52809913]I feel like CoD is one of the last FPS series that still at least tries this.[/QUOTE] Weirdly enough, it is. Despite the controversies, Modern Warfare 2 was incredibly silly and super entertaining. If you let yourself treat it like a mid-90s action flick, it was a good time. Modern Warfare 3 suffered from the attempt at reeling the game back to CoD4's more serious roots while simultaneously going more out the window. Black Ops campaigns (1-2 especially) were actually fairly fun. The first was a psychological espionage thriller with some pretty cool twists at the end. The second had multiple endings that were affected by choices over the course of the campaign. (Didn't play BO3). Advanced Warfare was a pretty as hell game, and despite "Press F", had some cool elements in regards to story and gameplay. Haven't played Infinite Warfare, but I heard that it was above par in a lot of respects. I have some minor hopes for WWII even though it will be "Sad Trumpets And D-Day".
black ops 3's campaign was a barrage of bullshit and i actually found great fun in BO2. BO3 can be summarized as "only like half the plot was real or something idk dude have fun"
Damn it's alright I just wish they would continue making that Han Solo game.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;52809964]Haven't played Infinite Warfare, but I heard that it was above par in a lot of respects. [/QUOTE] I've heard good things from so many people who otherwise wouldn't give a modern CoD campaign a second glance that I want to buy it, but I can't justify the $30 pricetag that it's at and will presumably always be at, given Activision's ridiculous sale prices.
I really liked Infinite Warfare's campaign. I wish it borrowed some more ideas from Black Ops 2 and had the side missions actually affect the plot, but it was cool nonetheless. [sp]Plus I wasn't expecting a COD game to end with everyone dying. It was kind of sad.[/sp]

If they decreased the amount of credits gained from MP after X number of rounds, I would be pissed as well. [quote]How much money will you be giving EA? $70? $100? $160?
