Three weeks ago, there was a major disturbance in The Force when the highly anticipated Star Wars Battlefront II The release of the film was met with a furious reaction from consumers.
The pre-release on November 14th thrust fans into EA’s pay-to-win system via microtransactions. The time it takes to earn achievements is so long that paying in small amounts for characters and weapon upgrades is more appealing to people with a lot of money and little patience. Those who spent hundreds on upgrades to their ground commandos or starships were able to slaughter other players in the multiplayer mode right away.
Fans vented their anger on social media in unprecedented numbers, causing EA to respond in a way that enraged fans even further. After a short time, the price for microtransactions had been lowered by 75%. This still didn’t satisfy the fans as the problem of pay to win still existed. EA then eliminated microtransactions just before the game’s release. The gaming community won a major battle against EA. However, the damage was already done. Battlefront‘s reputation.
I’m not a gamer. I get killed in multiplayer settings almost immediately, but it doesn’t deter me from trying. GloryToCory, AdamBaconBurger and I have my eyes on you.
The single-player campaign is the reason I spent eighty dollars for the Elite Trooper PS4 edition of the game.
Why?
Because the story has to be canon! Plus, I spent the extra $20 for useless extras. Hey, you’ve got to live and learn, right?
A video game’s canon story presents enormous storytelling opportunities. DLC, along with filling in some gaps that don’t keep casual fans out of theater loops, would create a more immersive experience.
Iden Versio is a commando of Imperial Special Forces, who leads Inferno Squadron in the battle against the Rebel Alliance after the Battle of Endor. The game offers a variety of levels, from stealth missions to starfighter attacks to first-person action.
If you are a Star Wars This game is for the multiplayer fan. You will be disappointed with the story if you only purchased this game to play the single-player. The game is fun, but the story is not. The idea of playing as the Empire was a great one, and the promotional material for the game presented Iden Versio in a way that portrayed her as someone who had steadfast faith in the Imperial lifestyle. Versio is a good person until she’s not. This made no sense, considering the kind of character she should be. The campaign takes an abrupt detour away from Versio, as some favorite Rebel heroes are given the spotlight.
Shoot ’em Up fun with Lando Calrissian.
When a campaign is supposed to cover thirty years between Return of the Jedi The following are some examples of how to get started: The Force Awakens Narrative time jumps are expected when a story takes four hours.
The story jumps forward so much that we are only able to play up to one year following Endor. We then skip 29 years before being thrown into the mission. Episode VII. It’s a game that is essentially a form of false advertising. The narrative is still too short and leaves much to be desired.
As a lover of all things, I find it difficult to say this. Star Wars, however, Battlefront II It was designed to be a multiplayer cash grab that surpassed everything else. The vast array of features that make up the multiplayer is the heart and soul of this game.
The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are stunning. If you can “earn” many star cards you will be virtually indestructible. This will make it easy to eliminate old fogies such as myself. The single-player is not worth the admission price.
You will most likely want to play the game if you are a fan of The Force, like me. Make no mistake about it, this game could have been so much more…damn your greed, EA!
