**** Star Wars: Battlefront ****

I think claiming the game is rubbish because you got bored playing a beta that included just 2 maps is a bit of a push.

If you want a decent reason to justify not buying it, just use the price! GOD DAM THAT PRICE!

£95 for an MP only game! Do. No. Want.

Have to say no SP puts me off the most with this. I still enjoy SP on most games as its nice to play without getting frustrated, I recently played the Hardline SP and actually enjoyed it once I forgot it was a "battlefield" game.

Beta was ok, nice graphics and I liked the star was vibe but gameplay got a bit boring for me.
 
I thought the PC crowd were savvy enough to realise the game can be bought cheaper elsewhere, you don't need to get it via Origin :eek:
 
If I buy it from the origin store in say brasil or india, I assume you still get english language etc with the game? I havent ever done that trick before I usually go CD keys route but I have found the ultimate edition appears to be just £43 from Brazil's origin store (unless I have epic failed conversion rates).

Just be aware that the conversion rates from Brazil or Mexico are in USD now not Pesos like it used to be. The language will be in English and you still get the money back guarantee.

Also DICE are working on the balance

Am I right that all the extra things you get in the more expensive deluxe version you can get in the normal version too but there not instant.
In the beta it took me a few hours to get those things so why the hell would you pay so much extra money to have them instantly when you can get them pretty quickly in game anyway lol.
 
^ agreed - the idea of paying extra to get an ion nade that you unlock after playing for an hour anyway is totally bizarre, yet unsurprisingly EA

Nah, use the power if the internet you get the 'ultimate edition' for the aforementioned price.

I disagree. Both BF3 and BF4 I was totally hooked after playing the better. Hell, even hardline was more enjoyable to play than SWBF.

AAA title BETA's these days are really demos and I think they are totally representative to what you are going to get in the retail version. It will take them months/years to incorporate player feedback from the BETA/ALPHA so I can't see it changing that much on release. Yes we will have diffierent maps/game modes but the underlying mechanics of the game will stay the same, for better or worse :)

This video is very long but provides a relatively balanced view from a youtuber who is usually pretty critical of DICE and is not sponsored by EA to say nice things about the game.

Hmm I found hardline absolute garbage with no redeeming features - I did not enjoy a single moment playing it.

SWBF I did enjoy albeit it feels far more like COD than a BF game while not quite having the netcode of a COD game or the reward feedback quite at that level and some of the moments in the game especially with the heros can be accidentally quite amusing.

That said I think the game falls far short of its potential especially how feature lite it is in many areas I think the only real negative is the price for what you get - its a £20 game absolute max I'd probably pay £30-35 anything more is just taking the mick for what there is.

Get the match making/squad/partner system really polished up, few more weapons and options of customising weapons, get some more equipment in there (and refine what is there and the mechanics for them) so people can really play roles even if it doesn't have a class based system plus add a few more maps for most smaller game modes and a couple for 32v32 (I think 20v20 actually works out quite balanced on the hoth map for instance) and it would be so much more as a game.

Damn Kiwi a 53 minute video for impressions is asking a lot from me. Needs to be 10 minutes max as it just turns into a bit of a ramble.

Hahaha I know mate. It does go into a lot of depth though covering a lot of the features, game play and modes. Also the youtuber is a big ARMA and long time BF player so has a little more credibility than some of the EAST sponsored guys out there. Worth a watch IMHO

Probably because yet again, its not a BF game, its battlefront.

Its lacking in a hell of a lot of places, and yeah, I don't think its going to be up to scratch.

Whether they fix the issues after launch or not is yet to be seen, I'll buy it if they are.

But I wish people would stop the 'oh its not a BF game'. Correct, it isnt, it was around years before in pretty much the same iteration.

Just because today people only want one type of shooter, whether it be COD or BF doesn't mean everything should be compared to them.

What if Dice decided to make a racing sim next? Would you all be in here moaning because 'this isnt how BF is supposed to be?!'

It doesnt need VOIP, classes, perks, ****ing SNIPERS, C4, leveling up or any of that **** IMO, it needs to be star wars, fun to play and nothing else.
