I'm glad EA keeps their cash grab trash on Origin. Keep that off of Steam. It's not wanted.


Valve has literal economist thats job is to figure out how much to fuck you over.

EA wants $80 for their game?

No the base game is only $60. The elite edition is $80 (which every game known to man has nowadays, don't know why people keep saying it's $80).

The game is still shit, but the $80 thing in particular is a stupid argument.

Well then, THAT would be capitalism in effect

From 60k to 10k is closer to like 85%

Not sure if EA should be criticized or praised for lowering it to a reasonable amount of credits.

It's just such a shame. This was one of the freshest first person shooters I've tried in a long ass time. The missions they featured in the beta all played entirely differently from one another, and it felt like you were actually part of a mission and not just in a generic FPS set in the Star Wars universe. It felt more authentic and real than the 2015 Battlefront game.

And they just ruined it. Absolutely ruined it with a very terrible character/class "progression" system and absurd unlock requirements and an abuse of microtransactions. It's like if someone gives you a brand new Porsche 911 with all the bells and whistles but it runs on liquid gold and can't go faster than 20 mph.

Still criticised tbh for having it as it was to begin with. Shows how they really feel about their customers

Criticized imo.

First off, the concept of having to pay for heroes was not explained in the beta. Someone like myself might be under the impression that they're available by default, because that's how it was in the beta. So the idea that they locked a feature that is a staple of the series behind a paywall/playwall is a bit absurd. That aspect to me by itself is rather dishonest.

And then there's the idea that, instead of listening to peoples' key complaints ("I paid for something, why do I have to pay more or wait to access it"), they are just adjusting unlock/purchase requirements, as if they're actually paying attention. But they're not. They're just trying to appease people while keeping the same shitty microtransaction system in place.

edit: I also don't know when they "changed it", but this Gamespot video... https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-battlefront-2s-microtransactions-are-a-r/1100-6454825/

Well anything they would have done afterwards would show that they're just doing it as a response to the backlash. How would the average gamer like EA to earn their trust (lol since when have they had it to begin with) back?

literally no reason to buy this EA game

Yep. Gonna be enjoying this $10 purchase. Online servers officially supported again. Twice the number of maps as the new battlefront. No P2W model. Good stuff.

as somebody who only very casually and rarely plays games nowadays, it's hilarious how you still get people defending this shit.

the video game 'community' is the worst group of media consumers around. literally bend over backwards for shit like this but will idk harass female journalists for months due to some vague concept of 'ethics' or something.

No? I've shat on them in other topics about this but for some reason ZP and his friends keep trying to tag me into this one.

And all I ever said to ZP was that maps and modes would be free dlc, which they are.

But when I tried to say WHY they'd be free i.e. microtransactions. You flat out denied they'd be in the game and said I was just a troll who had no idea what I was talking about.

Well looks like EA made you the fool, now didn't they?

Apparently that's just for the campaign because they intend for you to unlock the main character as a hero after beating it.

Why they didn't simply just unlock her as a Hero if you beat the campaign beats me though.

I guess so you could (theoretically) use the credits for whoever/whatever you want in case you didn't want to play as her?
