RussTCB Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Are EA really charging 50 USD for the season pass?Haven't played this and I never will. You're are crazy to pay full price for a game with half the content not included, because the dev's make more from DLCs.Typical EA.Yeah, that pricing is fucking ridiculous.I only rented it. Had a lot of fun the first day and barley touched it the second day. Glad I only spent $3 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Beta was fun, but yeah $110 for the full game is ludicrous, BF4 was the same way though so I'm not surprised. Work has been nuts the past few weeks and won't be slowing down soon, I might get this after the holidays. I still have plenty left of Dragon Age Inq to do, plus the Witcher expansion.

bran Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 i heard a lot of people are asking for refunds for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 i heard a lot of people are asking for refunds for the game.Interesting.I'm reading mostly mediocre reviews. Everyone agrees the game is sort of fun, but nothing groundbreaking and is a bit disappointing when compared to the first two, and all of the hype surrounding it.DICE should have made it more Battlefield. It should have been Star Wars: Battlefield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I jumped on the beta for the last day and played for a couple of hours. It was fun, don't know if I'll buy it unless it's on sale though.I ended up renting it. Had a blast earlier today and I'm gonna play more tonight too. Really glad I didn't buy it as well though. I can see it being fun for a few days, then quickly becoming stale.Good call, I have a couple friends that are pretty irritated with the purchase. What a shame, I really expected a lot more from the full game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally pretty bad at them so I usually just steer clear.The rental served it's purpose for me. I ran drank some whiskey, then sat on my couch running around Endor & Hoth shooting shit up for a while. Mission accomplished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online multiplayer FPS are great if you've got a spare ten hours a day to practice. In other words they're not great unless you're 14.

Conor Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I can't bring myself to buy for a game that offers such piss poor single player and offline content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Lack of campaign is annoying but I find the online multiplayer to be at least as enjoyable as any Battlefield or CoD game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Lack of campaign is annoying but I find the online multiplayer to be at least as enjoyable as any Battlefield or CoD game.It does look fun and I've heard the gameplay is good, but I wouldn't pay more than £20 for it. There's simply not enough content to warrant the full price. I realise there are some map variations, but let's not beat around the bush, there are four maps/locations, and that's just terrible. Even if you take the variations, there are sixteen. For a game without any credible single player, that's piss poor. I gather there's Jakku coming, but then the rest are all saved for DLC, which costs as much as the game itself. That's taking the piss. It's almost like EA are looking to parody themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 There are definitely more than 4 maps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 There are definitely more than 4 mapsThere are only four planets though right? And while there are variations in the layout, don't try to tell me that all four renditions of Hoth are totally unique and feel completely different. Hoth is Hoth. There is just no excuse for a game to offer this little content, to turn around and say "well you can have the rest of it if you pay double the price." I'm not slating DLC here, I think DLC/Expansion can be a wonderful thing when done properly, but now so much is being held back specifically to charge a ridiculous amount of a season pass. And I get told I'm being "entitled". Well, no shit. If I'm being charged £50 I expect a fucking game. If they wanted to go down this route, the base package should be cheaper, then they can offer people whatever they want to buy. At least it isn't hell bent on microtransactions, so that's something. Even if they used those four planets and whatever variations of their maps, it couldn't have been that hard to build a bit of a story around them, or at least a campaign/spec-ops style missions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 TBF, the only game mode I've played more than once is Supremacy. Other ones look shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Is Supremacy the one that's most like Conquest on classic Battlefront? Walker Assault looked fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Got it since it's already discounted. They capture the feeling of star wars. Walker assault on Endor and the massive battle of Jakku were awesome to see. However, the game itself is pretty lame. Glad I only spent 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Since seeing SW Thursday night I've been back in SW mode for what is perhaps the first time since playing Galaxies 5+ years ago. I took a day or so to think about getting Battlefront, best deal around is still $40 on Origin, which is a bit more than I'd have liked to pay, but not atrocious. So about 3 hours ago I bought it, it downloaded and install.Load it up, try to play some Fighter Squadron (or whatever the flying mode is)....... couldn't find servers. Okay, weird. Tried other modes... none could find/connect to servers. 3 hours later I'd tried forwarding a bunch of ports/creating a static IP, rebooting the modem, changing settings, dropping firewalls, making/remaking rules/exceptions in my AV, deleting files and repairing the game... to no avail. Game would still not connect to any fucking servers. Apparently others have had this problem, as evidenced by Google searches. EA does not appear to have officially addressed it, though it looks like they're aware of the issue.I called EA support to hopefully get some tech support. I could tell almost immediately, when the woman on the phone asked what platform I was using (which was in the form I filled out AND I had already said "PC" on the call) and then started to say, "Let me look up the troubleshooting methods here..." that it wasn't getting fixed. I interrupted her and just told her to give me a refund. Fuck you EA, Origin, DICE, all of you. And while we're at it, fuck you Ubisoft. I'm taking my $40 back and buying a $10 Witcher expansion which I fucking know will work. Edited December 19, 2015 by OmarBradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ridiculous and lazy, as for UniSoft I'm giving them one more chance when the division comes out in march but after the unity debacle and might and magic x running like garbage they are on my mast nerve.

luciusfunk Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 After watching Star Wars, I'm also in the mood to play Battlefront, but I don't wanna front the cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
