    COD WW2: Hey I'm ruining the industry.
    SW BF2: Hold my bucket of shit.

    • @sunpra1s3r
      @sunpra1s3r 7 лет назад +7

      CoD WW2 is not that bad though. Sure it is some flaws, but they actually tried making a good campaign, and so far the supply drop system is only cosmetic and can be gained easily.
      The only bad thing right now i can think of is the map packs, which is a bit old school. I'm sure they will stop using it next year.

    • @edorn9972
      @edorn9972 7 лет назад +2

      No Marcus the drops include weapons and weapons attachment as well as abilities.
      Edit: COD WW2 boxes are cosmetic, thank you for pointing it out Marcus.

    • @sunpra1s3r
      @sunpra1s3r 7 лет назад +1

      Weapon skins and weapon attachment skins yes. Dude have you even played the game? Some skins alter the guns appearance, yes, but it does not change the weapons stats.

    • @edorn9972
      @edorn9972 7 лет назад +2

      I haven't purchased it, no. I based my previous post on reviews but obviously I got it wrong and I'll fix it.
      I still think making loot boxes an actual social feature is pretty gross but you are correct, it seems its only cosmetics for now.

    I'm a Star Wars fan. I'm a middle aged man with a full time job and some disposable income. Almost all of my entertainment money is spent on gaming, and I've been an avid gamer my whole life.
    Let me tell you I wouldn't buy this if they paid me to play it. Mack is absolutely right, this is the moment. This is where they will decide if they can sell us everything from XP to items to levels and everything else. This is where we decide the fate of modern day gaming and how they monetize it, right here with EA right now. Please don't fall for this. Don't let this happen. Every publisher is watching this and deciding if they can do it too. Be a good person and don't let them do this to the industry. We can still save it, but we have to hold the line right here right now and show them all that this is too far, and we're not buying it.

      I'm right with you m8, once my mortgage and bills are paid each month, the kids are fed and clothed and the cars filled with petrol, my disposable income generally goes on games.
      I'm not being a part of this any longer. Fuck them.
      IV been gaming g since 1985 and seen alot of shady shit over the years but right now is the worst it's ever been, and this is just the beginning.
      Gamings gone to shit. You're right, we MUST hold the line. All of us.

      @Chapterhouse86 7 лет назад +8

      Thank god other people my age feel the same way I do. I miss waiting for actual good games to be released, not fearing how awful the next triple A dumpster fire is going to be, and how bad it will affect the state of gaming as a whole. I pray people decide to say fuck you EA, we dont want your fucking dogshit if you're going to make such an obvious cash grab. Until people who give a fuck about us. and about gaming are in charge again, we are fucked.

    Think about it. So many Artists, Modellers, Coders, putting their heart and soul for a full year into this game. They have a fixed salary, they couldn't care less about microtransactions. All they want, is to make an amazing game. Then the reality kicks in and the shareholders, who probably don't even like games anyway, want their money, so they just hijack the game and completely ruin it. It's very, very sad.

  • @JohnSmith-wj2wd
    @JohnSmith-wj2wd 7 лет назад +42

    What's ironic is that EA does these practices to get more money out of this game. Yet, if they had just released the game without this nonsense, the popularity would have made it a massive hit, probably earning them not only tons more money, but a credible reputation also.

      @winns35 7 лет назад +16

      No a corporation that is publicly traded has the ethical responsibility to make their shareholders as much money as possible as long as it is legal. The gamers are 100% at fault. It's been years building up to this and we just let it happen. Take responsibility for once. If you don't then this is going to keep happening because you're going to keep blaming them and buying the crap saying oh well they are going to do it anyway. No if we hit them in the pocket books the shareholders are going to be pissed and they'll change their ways.

    • @rudy_4ier
      @rudy_4ier 7 лет назад +12

      Trevor Ryan Because they're a business.
      I'm a shareholder in some of these companies so I'm part of this "corporate greed" and I've no compunction making money off gamers who are willing to pay. If not enough gamers are willing enough to spend the money for it to be profitable, the business model fails, and management will not pursue it.
      But reality is that so many gamers are willing to pay so much. The profit exists, and it doesn't matter who the shareholders are. The fewer of the shareholders there are, the larger share of the profit they get. I've joined in and made a significant amount of money by doing nothing, and just let those gamers fill my pockets willingly.

      chuhrros exactly and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Nobody forcing people to buy this stuff. It's making a lot of people a good amount of money and being able to provide for their families. I don't like the business model but it's working and gamers are allowing it to happen.

      Yea I know, I'm buying it because DICE did a freaking amazing job but I just wanted to hear from someone else if they experienced something in the game that would be off putting or game breaking. i don't mind the microstranscitions that much but I just wanted to know more details about the game. The graphics are amazing and I had a blast playing the beta and I can't wait until friday to hop on and destroy some clanckers.

    • @Android811
      @Android811 7 лет назад +8

      BF2 is where the franchise turned to shit!
      Before that, (bf1942, bfv) there was no leveling up. There was no stat tracking.
      Just good team based play. Nobody gave a shit who finished on top of the leader board, all that mattered was which team won the round.
      Leveling up has no place in multiplayer games. It belongs in single player games only!
      All it does is make it impossible for new players to compete. They already have the disadvantage of being new ffs!

    Summary:
    As a huge Star Wars fan and a huge gamer it's a sad day when I see a Star Wars game that looks as amazing as this game does be hijacked by greedy suits. I am totally gutted that I still don't have a modern Star Wars game that is amazing to play.
    On the plus side I am proud that so many thousands of gamers have taken a stand against this bullshit, you can see EA in total panic, they are like a headless chicken at the moment. People power works and we need to enforce this, we pay their wages and we should demand better than this game delivers. Sure there will be sell outs and apologists defending this game but hopefully they will be the minority, if not then gaming is doomed.
    It's not just the greedy business practice that is wrong with this game, it's the game itself, sure it's better and bigger than the 2015 SWBF but that's hardly an achievement. This game lacks any soul, the story is terrible and the combat is obscenely easy all the way to the 5 hour anticlimactic ending. Multiplayer is just a huge pew pew fest on most maps with only 2 or 3 allowing for any form of group tactics. Yes it's fun at times on those maps but it's not enough to justify the price. Space multiplayer is a good laugh, nice slick controls and amazing sounds but again it's just not enough.
    I paid £65 to review this early, I got a pay wall of micro transactions as a reward, I still have not unlocked most of the hero classes but I did get 4 weapons that do twice as much damage as the weapons everyone will be getting on Friday, it's p2w garbage.

    EA is not panicking, they know exactly what they're doing. They go two steps too far so they can take one step back and say "Look, we're listening!" Despite the fact that they're pushing the frontier of shittinesss

    • @WorthABuyreviews
      @WorthABuyreviews  7 лет назад +3

      No they are in full panic, this game is getting bad press on BBC and other MSM outlets, this means shareholders now know it has major issues, that is why EA have made U turns this week on certain aspects of the progression system. It's also why they hosted a AMA on reddit last night

    • @mancamiatipoola
      @mancamiatipoola 3 года назад +2

      You called it Geralt. And that is exactly what they did. 2 years later they removed loot boxes and made some slight improvements to the game progression. The game is decent enough now, but it is 2 years too late. It is a good thing that some countries are starting to get alerted and are pushing laws against loot crates in video games which are a form of legal gambling. Finally we are seeing the gaming movement have some victories against the greedy corpos, but the damage is already done and they have been doing shady business practices for years. I have stopped supporting gaming corporations a long time ago, but a lot of these young people don;t know what good gaming was like in the 2000 - 2010 decade so all they have as a comparison is shitty AAA games from their era.
      Corporations are ruining things in all forms of entertainment and people who buy their shit are supporting them.

      Tipping is the equivalent to microtransactions in the hospitality/restaurateur industry. You're both subsidising the business and encouraging to treat their employees like slaves. Get some fucking perspective.
      Also worth mentioning that a $40 at a nice expensive restaurant wouldn't get you an entree, let alone a main course.

    Well, I ended up picking up the game because a close friend has it and wanted someone to play multi-player with that he knows. So, I played the multi-player with him and regretted it after not too long. The MATCHMAKING is total SHIT! They put new players in with people who are level 40+!! You can't even make a dent in them! You're just their target practice! HOW is that supposed to be fun?? After research, I found that horrible match-making and unbalanced teams are the norm now! WTF?!

  • @flint33
    @flint33 7 лет назад +73

    Hey Mack, not sure if you know this but after they reduced the price of Luke Skywalker and the like they also reduced the rewards you get for campaign missions and such so it will still take about the same amount of time to grind the characters out.

    • @winns35
      @winns35 7 лет назад +5

      Garth Flame this is false. Yes they lowered the amount for the campaign but it was lowered in conjunction for it's purpose. It's purpose was so you could purchase the hero you use in the single player. When the amounts were lowered they also lowered the reward so you could still have enough to buy exactly the hero from the campaign. Do some research. Yes this business practice sucks, yes I don't agree with it, but I also would like to hear and research facts.

Although the system could use an overhaul, I don't think any players have an advantage over my level 0 character. I've had a blast playing but the matchmaking mechanics in place have kept me with similarly skilled and/or equipped characters the whole time.

    I've been a fan of Star Wars for a longer length of time than any other franchise (even beating out Nintendo, Sega, and Disney), and I am NOT buying this game in its current state. I bought the last one, and I was let down. This one appears to have took one step forward and several steps backwards. I'm taking it farther than that though. I'm not buying any more EA games unless they start respecting their player base. The only thing that makes them listen (EA, not necessarily DICE) is money, so I'm not giving them any more of mine until they do listen. #BOYCOTT EA/SW:BF2

    • @JacobPaul-ix7oc
      @JacobPaul-ix7oc 5 месяцев назад

      1 Timothy 6:10
      For the love of money is *a root of all kinds of evil,* for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
      What was the first sin? Satan's pride against God and wanting to be God.
      What was the second sin? Adam and Eve disobeying God, eating the forbidden fruit because Satan told them they would become like God. They took the fruit out of pride.
      What was the third sin? Cain killed his brother Abel because Abel was more righteous than he was. His pride was hurt.
      There was no money when evil came into being.
      There are many sins that come from a love of money, but not every sin is the result of loving money.
      R@pe. Is this necessarily a sin that comes from love of money? Or is it, "I want sex and I deserve to get it however I want?" (Pride)
      Mur3r: Does this always have to do with money? What about a person committing that act out of revenge, hatred or in some other way having their ego (pride) hurt?
      Hebrews 12:14-15
      14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
      15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; *lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;*
      1 John 3:15-17
      15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
      16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
      Why do we hate people? Pride, thinking we are better than they are.
      Why do we become bitter? Pride.
      Why do we break God's commandments? We are prideful and think we do not need to listen to God.
      James 4:3-6
      3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
      4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
      “God opposes the proud
      but shows favor to the humble.”
      Pride is the root of all evil, including the love of money which leads to even more evil.

They want to use franchises like Star Wars to spark nostalgia in us so we buy them regardless of how shitty they are.

    The only thing big gaming companies want is your money. We need to start boycotting these games. The newest Battlefront, Battlefield and COD completely lack enough content to justify the price tag. 8, 9 and 11 multiplayer maps respectively at launch is nowhere near enough considering the technology and budgets available to these organisations. These companies just make the game look nice then blow the rest of their budget on marketing to brainwash kids into buying their half finished pieces of shit games. Remember the proper 2005 SWBF2? Included every map, gamemode, hero, both era's all in the base game. Along with a campaign that actually lasts more than half an hour. State of the gaming industry right now is a joke.

I saw that you did a retro WAB on it, but now disney have opened up the servers again. I think it's selling for 10.00 on Steam, from what I've heard the servers are a lot better, but I haven't had the chance to play it yet.

      TrueType I would really love if he would revisit this game and give it a new review for the multiplayer, the game had changed a lot.

    This video scares me, it definitely is a watershed moment. I have cancelled my pre-order, i know there are others who are thinking about it. As WAB says, if the numbers are positive for EA, this is all we can expect from publishers/developers.
    These people don't care about gaming, its numbers and profit. Dice are unfortunately (whether they agree or not) under EA and have to bend over and take it. As a life long video gamer, this has to stop. Thank you WAB for scaring me, I hope others get the message.
    p.s Thank gawd Nintendo are slow on the uptake and produce great games with (only now) DLC haha. They love their games and consumers. I am bias but there is a reason Zelda BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey are in line for GOTY.
    also, subscribed. Keep it up WAB.

      I've never pirated a game but that's about to change. I used to buy games that had MT'S, shitty pre order bonuses etc when they were heavily discounted but not any more. From now on they get NOTHING.
