Why Is Star Wars: Battlefront 2 SO BAD?! (EA, 2017)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was a game coming off immense disappointment from the 2015 reboot of the series. Having waited 12 years for another good Battlefront game, fans had high hopes for the latest installment by DICE and EA. What fools we all were... to have hope.

If it seems like I'm more pissed off at this game than I should be, I guess it's because Battlefront was one of my favorite things to play back in the day. I think my anger stems from what the series COULD be at this point in time, but how it actually turned out. I will play this game for maybe another month just for the novelty of playing a newer Star Wars game. I still do not recommend buying this game.
Because EA has to ruin everything.
@The Act Man If you don't mind me saying, I didn't mind the first EA battlefront and quite enjoyed walker assault.
The Act Man Good good let the hate flow through you.
The Act Man I 100%. EA has made sonic boom rise of lyric a good game.
People will argue the game is good, I argue if you take out the Star War's title... it's a casual shooter with bright graphics.
Would you be able to do a video on why Kotor 1 And Kotor 2 are so awesome?
The act man keeps taking off his sunglasses to remind us all that he’s a *STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST*

To be serious for a while though. Showing the gender might be part of the "helmet off" thing. But it is also about providing a face for the viewers to become attached to. There is a reason why the dime-a-dussin standard enemy almost always have a face-covering mask in games and movies. They are dehumanized because the largest part of hour brain that identifies something as human, is taken out of the process. And as such, we care far less that they die to the heroes of the story.
@T H
to be honest, i don't see it as a "gender issue". i was just makin' a funny (spoiler alert).
good observation. of course, i should say that i didn't buy the game, so i wouldn't know if there's more evidence to support the argument for forced...diversity or whatever it might be called. a female protagonist was the least of this game's problems (if at all).
The content cop of video game.
Why are there so few likes for this?!

🚨 Underrated Comment alert 🚨
That’s basically what is is
This video should be archived so years down the line people can see just how scummy game companies were about loot boxes
yeah, its nice now after loot boxs are a detriment to the game
I think the gaming industry is starting to improve and move away from loot boxes
And how a game can be good or atleast solid after a surprising comeback
What was great is that the games got banned in some EU countries as it was found to be a form of gambling. Which it is, 100%. Addicting kids to gambling is a shitty move.

“Empire side of the story” for like 15 minutes
I have a stormtrooper backstory which would delve deeper into the imperial perspective than the campaign.
Reminds me of Haze for the ps3, but Haze is a better game.
A comic about a storm trooper and his back story life had more character than iden and her imperial side
@@korhol2065 because my Stormtrooper character has justified reasons for fighting against the rebels. And he is loyal to the Empire to the end
@@brendancross4640 In other words, a moron.
Your father grew up in poverty on some planet that the Republic has always neglected. During his late teens, the Clone Wars raged on, but they didn't affect him because neither side was interested in his planet. But then the Empire came along and his planet became a major economic center, and so he started living a comfortable middle class life.
He decided to get married start a family. He had two children: you and your older brother. For years, you grew up on this safe, clean Imperial planet, and your father always told you stories of how hard life was before the Empire came along, and how lucky you are to live under their protection.
One day, you hear the news reports about the destruction of the first Death Star, which was a symbol of order and security. A memorial is erected in your local park, listing the names of the people from your town who were killed. You're still just a kid, but your older brother decides to join the Imperial Army and become a stormtrooper to fight the Rebel terrorists who want to destroy your way of life. You and your father have never been so proud.
A few years later, you hear about a disaster on Endor. You find out the Empire was secretly building a new Death Star, but the Rebels have destroyed that one too.
But this time, your brother was on board.
Your father falls into a spiral of depression. He stops working, and the bills start piling up. You end up having to move out of your house and into a small, dingy apartment. He occasionally has angry outbursts, and your mother becomes afraid of him. She divorces him, and takes you with her to live with your grandmother.
A few weeks later, you hear that your father has killed himself.
You need to support your mother, so you try to find a job, but with the destruction of the Death Star came economic unrest. Investors panicked and stocks plummeted. Businesses all over your planet close their doors. Unemployment, homelessness, and crime rates skyrocket. There is no hope for a brighter tomorrow.
You now hate the Rebels more than anything. Your eighteenth birthday is coming up. Soon you will be old enough to join the Imperial military yourself. Your quest for justice is about to begin.
Dr Shaym Holy fuck.
Wow. Holy shit. How long did this take?

I still find it funny how the old battlefront 2 had a way more interesting story and more compelling main character despite the fact we never see the main clone, Hell you never even learn his name. It also worked better for what type of game it was, an old veteran recounts his time in the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire, and you play through the large scale battles being described.
It also had a far better "Imperial Perspective" than this garbage of a campaign.

@@DogeickBateman Man, I’m getting chills reading that here.
And yes, the narration was just *SO* good. Temuera Morrison killed the delivery, and the writer(s) who created that dialogue killed it, as well.
And it was so striking to me how the game didn’t really even have proper cutscenes-it was just reels of blurry gameplay footage, basically!-yet managed to be utterly compelling with those diary/memoir-style voice entries. Masterful.

Let's be honest, Act Man just wanted to review this game to flex his saber moves on us
Lol
And it worked
Lmao
you cant really blame him... those were some slick moves
His skills are truly unmatched and are like a true Jedi
Bf2's story could've been like
1st act: we get a view in Iden's childhood with objectives to work like a tutorial to teach the player about interactable objects
2nd act: we get an in depth of imperial training with the player doing target practice and learn about advanced movement like rolling then the player is pointed out by the imperial trainer
3rd act: We get to see Iden as a disciplined imperial soldier and do some missions while being introduced to her squad
4th act: new hope, the player takes control of Iden's starcraft and following orders of her superior which is her father on the death star while the player has to destroy rebel ships from cruisers alongside the rest of the squad. But then bang death star goes boom alongside her father is big dead.
5th act: Empire strikes back, the player is on hoth along side stormtroopers killing rebel scum and Vader is seen ahead for some fan service witnessing the rebel's escape.
6th act: Endor yada yada a more angry iden with her comrades having to calm her down as she has ptsd and allows the player to go pew pew on some rebels.
And i am going to stop because this was just an excuse to make some fan fiction.
The actual game is better
@@Deathmare235 not really sounds more fun you play from the empires view
@@thewildcardperson but the version they listed sucks it was going good until she defected but their version doesn’t sound good at all
They wrote a book and expected everyone would read it before playing and hoped that would be enough. There are 3 problems there:
1) it’s Lazy
2) not everyone is going to read it
3 & in my opinion) I read the book and it ended up being superior to the campaign

Iden is a traitor...
the sad thing is that I saw it coming from a mile away. When it was announced that u would b playing as someone in the Empire my first thought was "oh joy, they're gonna go the typical bad guy defects and redeems themselves via joining the good guys I bet" and lo and behold that is EXACTLY what happens.
I seem to b psychic when it comes to Star Wars, I knew Iden would go the cliche bad guy-turns good route, when I saw the interview between George Lucas and Krazy Kathleen Kennedy I knew she'd fuck the franchise up and then when the media starting making a big deal about Rey being the "first female protagonist in years" I could tell exactly where it was going, with SW now unfortunately owned by Di$ney they would turn Rey into a ridiculously op character and guess what? I was right again.
Where's that First Order Trooper from the Force Awakens when you need em? I think these "Special Forces" need a good smacking around.

My favourite part of the campaign is when Iden is dying and her daughter's face is totally emotionless.
Nathaniel Roe or when they just straight up kill Iden after getting 1 half baked...actually not half baked like still cookie dough gooy campaign and then they killed of a new character we didn’t care about to insert another character we don’t care about. Like fuck
"oh"
well you see iden was old and they need an younch female protagonist to take over, that is what they did with the crew from the Original trilogy, they killed them all of (minus leia) so that the strong young female protagonist could take over.
Why kill off a character the just created 5 hours ago?
Like mother like daughter huh?
"You can't fix this game"
DICE: Hold my lootbox
* *proceeds to completely abandon the game* *
I feel like a game that focuses more on the empire side of Star Wars is more interesting than another rebels side of the story. All we see in the movies is the rebels fighting the empire. I’d like to see a movie about the empire and how the standard stormtrooper felt about the rebels and how they felt about both Death Stars blowing up.
Dude, even Star Wars Bounty Hunter had the opening crawl. (That game was awesome, btw)
Gabe Mewell holy shit that game was fun as fuck
Game was great on GameCube
I could never get over having to tag your targets by selecting the tagger in the inventory before you attack them. I'm a bounty hunter, not a cop. I'll hogtie anyone I want and ID them later.
And it told a great story of Jango Fett, his past and how he became the template for the Clone Army
game was cool but holy dogshit that combat and those controls were awful

@@broodingsoap9469 yes
To this day the idea behind Operation: Cinder continues to baffle me. It's one of the most idiotic things this franchise has ever come up with. The Emperor is dead for sure but fucking hell that doesn't mean the entire Imperial fleet consisting of 25K Star Destroyers and thousands of worlds its jurisdiction have suddenly become useless. Vardos was an Imperial Stronghold. Keyword: STRONGHOLD. People who are still loyal to the Empire along with countless core worlds who were loyal to the Empire because Empire only cared about Core and mid-rim worlds.
But nope instead of using the almost infinite man power the Empire has at its disposal, let's kill the people who are loyal to us and destroy our own strongholds. Basically doing the Rebellion's work for them! What amazing tactics!
Operation Cinder should seriously be retconned. It's one of the most dumbass things writers have come up with in Star Wars.
But Palpatine was petty. If he died, then in his view, the Empire failed him, and therefore the Empire must be destroyed.
Either he rules, or no one rules.
Don’t even try to contemplate Disney’s atrocities to the series man, trying to rationalize nonsense long enough will have you standing on a tall ledge
I think they tried to tie into the story of how the First Order/ Final Order from the new trilogy came to be. If I remember correctly, Palpatine's contingency plan was to recycle the Empire through destroying it from the inside and salvaging a number of important assets for secretly building the Final Order, whereas the First Order was founded by the imperials that weren't in on the Contingency plan, but still remained loyal to the idea of the Empire. It's a mess of bull, but what can you do? That's the Dark Side for ya. 😒
@@scottishjedi1522 Palpatine isn't fucking petty.
I'm tired about Disney making Palps a senile old man who barely knows what he's doing. Sheev was a MASTERMIND. HE WAS ALWAYS IN CONTROL. HE ISN'T THE TYPE OF MORON TO THROW AWAY HIS ENTIRE LIFETIME'S EFFORTS TO BUILD AN EMPIRE JUST BECAUSE HE DIED. If the Sith don't rule, then an Empire based on their ideology would. THAT'S HOW PALPATINE WOULD THINK.
They destroyed the EU for this...

@@user-bo6vy5eg8g I mean they might be hiding them from the public we never know maybe they do
I find it very funny that a special forces commander betrayed the empire but not normal stormtroopers it makes no sense
Understandable. But think of it like this, being special forces they had seen/ done more of the shady shit for the empire that it wore on them more so than the Storm Troopers who (joined to get off world or what not) only been in a few battles.
There was people on the first death star from Alderon who stayed after its destruction.
To add on a previous comment, it may also just have to do with general intelligence among stormtroopers. From what I see, Empire Stormtroopers are a great army not because of their skill (lol), but because of their sheer numbers, and loyalty to the empire.
In other words, they're probably the meatheads, the grunts, so they don't really question the empire's motives, as to where the AD soldiers are more experienced, and probably naturally more inclined to be freethinking than other troopers who still believe in Empire Propaganda.
That's my thought, anyways. It's really all up to personal inference and perception.
I recommend read the inferno squadron book on more insight to the choices made to leave the empire. Its pretty good for new cannon
Here is some stormtrooper lore summed up in a few minutes. Definitely some more to explore, but this seems to backup at least some of the propagandist paths that the Empire went with.
Plz stop been stupid
I can't help but feel like the Empire slaughtering loyal citizens is a metaphor for how EA treated the people who bought Battlefront 2.
MunMun MurMur actually, that’d be more accurate as to EA killing off all companies they bought because they don’t make enough money for them. And maybe their own workers, because they don’t pay them half the time.
Yes
I bought it immediately when it came out, 70 bucks, I played it for 1 week, then it became boring and i regretted buying it
Definetly
Basically anyone who bought the game day one might as well of lined themselves up against a wall and wait for the shots to fly, I had some interest in the Empire focused concept for this Battlefront, although when I heard about all the "Editions" they had for the game before it had even launched, I stayed far away from it.
Thank God for the choice.
The multiplayer aspect of this game had a better redemption arc than Anakin
Shame it's dead
This game infuriated me.
Ever since I was a kid, I was interested to know what the Imperial supporter thought. I got this from reading The Rommel Papers (a collection of journals, letters, and recounted conversations with the legendary general of the Germans in World War 2, Erwin Rommel) in which Rommel, who was a patriot and cared for his men but not his government, talked about the war, his feelings for his men, his fears about the Nazis, and his love for his family. He fought hard to protect his family, save his men, and was rewarded by being given the choice between suicide and his family falling into the hands of the SS.
It was illuminating seeing the war from Rommel’s perspective. How many Imperials in Star Wars were like him? How many just needed a job? How many were true believers? How many thought they were protecting the galaxy? I thought this game was going to show the Imperial side, warts and all. Instead I got a boring, cliche story. What if instead Ayden died at the end, believing the Empire was doing harsh, but needed things? What if she was trying to protect her father and the man she loved? What if the Rebels had attacked a ship her mother was on, and killed her, providing her a reason to hate them? Nope. We got boilerplate “I was bad, now I’m good.” Boooooring.
A wasted opportunity. Battlefield V may have been bad, especially when compared to what came before it, but The Last Tiger mission was incredible for how well it was able to effectively portray the German's crumbling morale and failing resolve. Sure, the soldiers were fighting for the bad guys, but they were still human, and brought with them both the good and bad. If Star Wars Battlefront II had a campaign with similar themes, it would have been such an incredible campaign, but they decided to go with such a cookie cutter turncoat story it became almost boring from how predictable it was.

The Prequel units had the best quotes in the original Battlefront II.
Woah, that comment brought up a ton of nostalgia!
"Hey, it's Lord malevolent! Er, uh, General Grevious!"
So true
I think one thing that really drove people to the game at first was that they had the Clone Wars era in it. The first one I always remembered wanting to fight as a clone captain yet it was only set in the time frame of Ep. 4 5 and 6. So when they announced and revealed that the prequels were going to be in the second battlefront I feel a lot of people flocked to the game.
I feel like im playing on the same maps over and over again when I play Supremacy and heroes vs villains is just spamming the one attack button
If EA goes bakrupt i hope they sell the Star wars rights
Mersen they make so much money of their sports games so I doubt it
Grandmaster Yoda yeah, but anything besides EA would be better than this crap
Give the rights to any company that makes good fps's
Mersen
They’ll sell the right to other companies through lootboxes
Disney would have them if EA goes bankrupt. Hopefully they would give them to a better publisher.

You had me until "the empire would never attack innocent civilians."
They would not attack their OWN civvies.
Yeah. I think he forgot Alderaan. But iirc Alderaan was a rebel planet so the empire destroying it makes a bit more sense. I still agree with the majority of the review.
But those are their citizens, not some random citizens
they wouldn't attack civilians loyal to them. no military would do that, not even nazis, cuz its stupid
He said LOYAL civilians, meaning their own supporters ffs!
Battlefront II has changed a lot, almost every single aspect of the game has been improved and reworked, for example, there is 0 pay to win, it is all play to win, they’re less money hungry then before and I would even recommend playing the game, I was just as mad at the games launch, but now I’m just happy the game is fun now, but it’s still hard to forgive EA for being greedy especially with their greed filled past and most likely future.
(I still cannot handle the boring campaign)
Wooo only took like 4 years. I feel like saying "well it's good now" is a shitty mindset it lets games off easy like no man's sky. It was shitty for the first 3 years and then got better

It is so bad because the writers were trying to make a "Strong Female Protagonist" by making them an emotionless Solider, because any emotions would be seen as "weakness". It is incredibly sexist of the writers, and it always ruins the story. Basically a Mary Sue like Rey, people want to see emotions and flaws in the characters , male or female.
Would it be better if Iden was a normal Stormtrooper and actually showed emotion (plus a buildup to the cringey love story)?
Wouldnt it be compelling if we've gotten a coming of age story? To see how the conflict of the empire came to be, and how she feels about her crew? And to see the chemistry of the characters?
Look to ahsoka, that is how to make a strong female protagonist and a compelling arc, not Iden or even Rey.
It's because dudes wrote the character. I'm pretty sure almost all the writers for Battlefront 2 were men (just like the new movie trilogy), and this is the safest way to write a female character. But honestly, it's not the industry's fault women don't want to write sci-fi games. Most women are not interested in science fiction shooters. Like, I can tell almost right away when a "strong female character" is actually written by a guy.
@@2hot2handle65 ill gladly write some female characters, but god forbid i am not gonna work for EA

It’s sad how 3 development teams can’t even make a proper Battlefront game, yet 1 small ass company can make such a fantastic Battlefront game
it all lies in intent. in the case of the originals, the priority was in creating an enjoyable experience. for the reboots, the priority was money, with fan reception being an afterthought
NedMusic I blame Jermey. Fucking Jermey
Well to be fair they are being lead by EA, which is like negative 2 and a half studios.
too many cooks on the kitchen, with focus on the investors instead of the customers
The thing is battlefront was made by pandemic, one of the best developers in my opinion, they introduced levelution before it was even a thing with mercenaries. The playground style of gameplay that just cause has but i personally felt it was done better. They are known for their open world free roam games like saboteur and DAH so i think they are just better at making a open and fun multiplayer game like battlefront.
"you play an imperial!" for literally two missions. first mission is the shitty callback to endor, next is actually on endor, and mission 3 you find out about cinder and defect. two. whole. missions. then its the exact same stormtrooper copypaste in every fight envery location until the end
It’s kinda sad how 3 years after this video was made, Ea still does this shit, gets yelled at, and still get away with it. If you ask me, Ea needs someone who can run the company without having loot boxes in every god damn game they make.

Still nowhere near as fun as the originals. The Bot mode with Instant Action pales in comparison to the 2005 game. The command post mode still sucks because there are no vehicles populating the map. And it still feels like a deathmatch no matter what mode you play.
@@1pfuller Bot modes still sucks, sure, but its not true that playing every mode you feel like playing a deathmatch. And, I don't know what's on another platforms, but on Xbox machmaking takes 3-7 seconds, so servers are still nearly full.

yep... Not sure why people are buying this shit. Hopefully people pay for the origin pass (only 15 bucks for a full month) instead of buying BFV.... BFV is almost as much of a piece of shit as Battlefront 2, but BFV at least has incredible gunplay. Anyway, I spend $15 for a great monthly service, and these greedy cunts never get the full $60 bucks. I'll probably get at least 50-100 hours (depending on my free time the next 28 days) for $15... That's a steal. If people just payed for the pass, they'd be able to get the content's worth out of these hollow games that are fun for maybe a few hours, and then EA doesn't get the full $60 from you. Keep in mind, that with that $15 you get access to like 80 AAA games that are actually worth playing (not outcasted india bullshit.)

You know the more I think about it the more I think that this game suffered from trying to reach a very casual audience. More casual players mean more people would’ve bought the loot boxes which one quick glance at launch day BF2 is very apparent. It’s why all the immersive stuff from the OG BF2 like 3rd party factions, multiple people in one vehicle, boarding ships, vehicles spawning on the map, etc wasn’t in this game as it would’ve been way to much work for EA to give a damn about because they were trying to turn BF2 into basically their FIFA games.

Quotes from a game that came out in 2005! People actually hyped and join up to play a game that had its servers somewhat restored from 2005! Why is Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005) the staple to which Battlefront should be held? Not cause of nostalgia, but rather its easy to create!
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
(copy and pasted from the wiki)
I would have personally liked to see iden become a cold yet charismatic warlord and have her carve out her own empire in some corner of the galaxy.
The fact that they managed to make two new "Battlefronts" that are inferior in every way to games 18 and 17 years old is astonishing. DICE is seriously out of touch. Get your shit-covered hands off my Star Wars.

AAA game companies release premature games on purpose because they know they can patch it later and they can get profit early to please share holders.
@@placeholdername3818
You have inspired me to start calling Bethesda *Bathesda* now
I want to see what he thinks of the game now! The game is redeemed really well, Dice turned it around and added so much content and basically removed the pay to win content now. It's sad to see that they cut updates and the game is slowly dying. Could you please revisit bf2?
This is the natural order of live service games. Once a title stops making money, the company will cut support indefinitely. The same thing happened with Battlefield V; support dropped the moment it started underperforming. The question is, "How did these games die?" Many contributing factors, of course, but I think you could boil it down to 3: terrible public reception, lack of content at launch, and an unshakeable identity crisis. Although, broadly speaking, most live services fail _because_ companies think consumers are patient enough to wait past launch until there's enough content, despite there being a million other live services out there that offer more value.
Point being, if a company releases an incomplete live service into this highly competitive market filled to the brim with IPs built up over several years, you can't act shocked when its player base declines. People have moved on. Our only hope now lies with Battlefront 3, but I'm not holding my breath after 2042's near-immediate downfall.
Thing is, Battlefront was actually making a real comeback when support got cut. EA wanted to save Battlefield from the steady decline it was/still is going through, so they pulled all the Battlefront devs to work on 2024 to try and revive the interest in the Battlefield ip.
It has to be among one of the most dumb decisions EA has ever made. Player counts for Battlefront were rising steadily, word of mouth about the game started becoming positive and the controversy at launch was mostly buried in the past. It had real promise to become one of the best Battlefront games ever.
@@truecaliber1995 Thats.... How all games work lol. All products actually.
@@Wylie288 You're not wrong, but my point is, if a company releases a game in an incomplete state, which is a rarity in most other industries, and tries selling their players/customers on some vague promise that they'll _eventually_ patch said-game into a decent state, you're gambling your time and money on them following through on that initial promise. Like I said before, though, the market of live service titles is a competitive one; free-to-play mobile games are a perfect example. If you release an incomplete product out onto a market that's already filled to the brim with live service titles, some of which have had years to build themselves up, you can't act shocked when it fails. Live services may be short-term in nature, admittedly, but a miraculous few that cropped up at the beginning of this trend are still around today; timing is a factor. Now, though, this "early-access" approach can't work anymore, and I think the most prominently recent triple-A disasters in the last 5 years, speak for themselves.
Too little too late. BF2 has no redemption.

27:50 "you don't have any decisions after you spawn" That perfectly sums up my problem with this and so many modern FPS games. It drives me insane. I've been trying to figure out what specifically it is that bothers me about these games and you worded it perfectly, thank you.
Force Unleashed and Kotor are the best SW stories by far.
I still remember my mind blowing in Kotor 1, or then in the middle of Kotor 2 realize that Kreia was a better vilain that Darth Vader itself, or that love for a woman could change the heart of a Darth Vader aprentice and make him save the galaxy just to stay with her.
The other game that get close to this is Jedi Fallen Order, and even so it isn't all that great, too family friendly for my taste.
Things scientists can't figure out :
1. How to cure Corona
2. How to clone humans
3. IS THIS GOOD FOR THE PLAYER ?
Underrated comment lol
I don’t understand. Why don’t AAA studios hire decent writers anymore?
Allan Sh Because they can hire shitty writers and people will still buy it.
Shitty writers don't need to be paid as much
Zoltan Z its not true. Walt Williams co-wrote swbf2 campaign is the same that did the writing of spec ops: the line. The story of this game is amazing and the writing is terrific. Im sure he had some restraints by disney or ea, idk really, but the talent of the writer is not the reason the story sucks. He did one ama on reddit and someone asked him how much freedom he had to write the star wars campaign and he didnt answer. Link to ama: www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/70w737/im_walt_williams_writer_of_spec_ops_the_line_and/?
Because they can just hire a woman and it instantly becomes good.
Basically, a good writer wouldnt matter when EA/Disney want a story a certain way, you can only do so much when they tell you almost 90% of the story. Now if you had creative freedom around a Special Ops Agent of the Empire and could do as you wish with the character and it didnt matter how long the game would be, then yea, it would be abit better. But knowing how extreme feminist Disney is with the Star Wars license, then they restricted him severely.
“There is no way to remove this post launch.”
*EA removes Loot Boxes and unlocks all heroes for all players*
Wow. That makes it a great game! Not really . . .

That moment when you realize that the only multiplayer shooter that doesn't have micro-transactions/loot boxes made last year is Splatoon 2. That's sad.
They have amiibos though, which is pretty much overpriced, physical on-disc DLC
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them! Ok, fair enough. I just forgot to acknowledge amiibos as DLC. However, one thing that amiibo have over other forms of DLC is that they can be used in other games, instead of just one. So, for example, I can use my Splatoon amiibo on MK8 or other games that are compatible with it, while in Battlefront EA 2, those Star Cards will be useless as soon as the next Battlefront game comes out. Also, at least amiibos function as physical, collectable items and (on a side note) don't give you items to win the game. I'm not trying to be a Nintendo fanboy (even though I call myself one sometimes), I'm just trying to explain why I don't think amiibos are as bad as other forms of DLC.
nintendo knows what they are doing when it comes to pleasing the consumer. Most of the time.
That scene with dell and Luke was probably the best scene.
I got the game when it first released. I played it a bit, then I quit. I don’t really know why, but I got back around the time the daily crate was added in, no then off and on again. I must say, they improved a lot, and I had fun with all the phases, but where the game ended up is just such a show of how anything can be changed with enough lawsuits, updates, and or free releases on the EA store.
Frack. The Lego Star Wars games is more interesting.
