Maybe some gameplay will change your mind.  Maybe


Doubtful. It doesn't have any of the features I most wanted from the game. Pretty much no interest at this point.


That sucks though considering you were prob waiting on this game for a long time.  On the good side of things it is an EA game that is going on the 3 year cycle so that means they could add those into the next game if you dont get this one.  

They may also add some of that stuff in as DLC.  Air combat is one that i could see happening that way

I'll easily take Batman: Arkham Knight. My favorite comic book character and I loved the two previous Rocksteady games.

How can anyone be excited for Battlefront? I'm asking this genuinely btw

I mean....no space battles, and only 4 planets for locations man....how on earth can they justify that for game that will have been in development for like 3 years and doesn't even have a campaign taking up time and resources?

Just a terrible terrible effort if you ask me.

The lack of space battles is disappointing for sure, but the fact that they brought back bot matches from the original games makes up for it imo, I was really worried that it'd be multiplayer only beforehand. 

As for 4 planets, also dissapointing, but one of those planets (Sullust) is new to the series which is a plus, and there will be a 5th planet coming a few weeks later that is free. I'm sure that there will be a season pass (which I'll be able to get a discount on thanks to EA Access), which will likely include the other maps from the original games (Bespin, Yavin IV, Dagobah, Death Star, etc.) as well as more new planets from Episode 7.

As for it not having a campaign, that's debatable, what DICE is designing basically sounds like the campaign from the original games, so if the new game doesn't have a campaign the original games didn't either.

Ultimately Battlefront just sounds less dissapointing than Black Ops 3, and I need a 2nd multiplayer shooter to go alongside Halo 5 this year.


It's nice that bot matches make up for lack of space for you. Definitely does no such thing for me. I expect new games to evolve what their predecessors did, not remove large junks then expect me to be happy about whatever is left over. Other things that are apparently missing here btw include pretty much any prequel movie content. Pathetic.

As for your point about locations, I'm well aware of DLC ppossibilities but that absolutely does not factor into a $60 game's worth at launch. Ya of course they can add stuff with DLC. Doesnt justify having so little content at launch. In fact I find it highly suspect. EA Access discount or no, you're still gonna have to pay a bunch more money.

I agree the past Battlefront games didn't exactly have campaigns either, but that wasn't my point. The point is, considering they didn't have to focus any real attention to having a proper campaign, it makes the lack of content in other areas even less acceptable. They've scaled literally everything back from Battlefront 2, and seemingly added nothing new to the mix besides prettier graphics. How is that possible? Did they even try?

The fact that is the last of Rocksteady’s trilogy makes me fell they will go out with a bang. Add me to the Batman is the most badass super hero by far list!

It does suck. A lot. I was really hopeful for this game, as were a bunch of friends of mine. Been waiting ages for a new Battlefront =(

 

Might as well start dialing down my hopes for Mirror's Edge 2 now as well. If DICE doesn't care enough to do Star Wars right, what are the chances they care enough about that.....

I know this is kind of off topic, but speaking of a badass super hero I'd really recommend watching the new Daredevil Netflix Series for anybody who hasnt watched it.  Easily the best super hero show to date and also one of the better shows ive watched in a while

To be fair Mirror's Edge is a much smaller game on scale.

I still believe Battlefront could be good though, just may need to wait for gameplay.

People are complaining 16 players on MGS online isn't enough.

I prefer less... 4vs4, 5vs5 tops.

If you are a competitive player, less players is very important. in a 4vs4 match you are 25% of the team, that's something else to a maybe 32vs32game where you are just 3% of the team, you can probaly look all the time on a wall and will still win almost the same amount of games (if you don't play with some friends)

Agreed. Daredevil was fucking awesome, easily my favorite comicbook show created. I watched 13 hours straight a couple days.

I just couldn't stop watching it
