Would love it if your theory on Dinsey being involved was true.

Take their license back.

CEO of Disney Bob Iger made a call to EA CEO Andrew Wilson.

EA is easily startled... but the loot crates will soon be back, and in greater numbers.

Forget the micro transactions, people should be ignoring the game because it’s garbage. Does look pretty on the X though.

With the micro transactions being delayed I wanted to pick this up, but Jesus. £60! Funny how EA make out season pass is totally free but they just lump it onto the opening price of the game!

Anywhere cheaper for digital?

To be honest Starfighter assault is online is pretty much my dream game since a kid.

So much fun on that mode

That's quite a common price for a new game digitally. Not just EA being ***** on that one

I haven't actually played that mode in fairness, still have a bit of time left on the trial so might as well give it a blast. Doubt it'll be enough to sway me to buy.

I read a review yesterday and they said the Starfighter mode was the best thing about the game.

Need to get on disc for it to be significantly cheaper. Can get it for £45.

And it's why I still buy games on disc. Don't see the point in paying £55-60 for a game when you could get the same game for £40-45 and then also be able to sell it on afterwards.

JoeBoi · 17 Nov 2017 at 10:17

Any idea how much the supermarkets are selling this for? I suspect the usual EA entry price of £49.99.

Tempted not to buy it just for the BS loot crate fiasco.

Same here. I've never paid for a full price digital game at launch. The general trend doesn't agree with us though. I read that digital sales for Destiny 2 in the UK was 45% of total sales. Digital is certainly catching up physical on consoles. Price needs to come down a lot before I will bite.

I have a few friends that game share so they get their games a lot cheaper. So I wonder how digital sales would fare if you suddenly couldn't do this :confused:

Is it still a mix of half AI and half players? Like the first game was? And I can't believe star fighter assault is missing from arcade mode.

VincentHanna · 17 Nov 2017 at 11:01

There are a small amount of AI ships in the Starfighter mode.

Not in the infantry modes though.

Mull3t · 17 Nov 2017 at 11:22

I game share with my mate, so trying to find best price. Works out quite cheap overall when going halves.

It's much easier to level up using Starfighter, more battle points available because of easier objectives.

Last game was the same. Could obtain a lot of points from destroying other pilots.
