Fuckin' Christ on a stick. Forty hours to unlock a digital character? Fuck that, I got a life outside games.

While it is nice of them to cut the credit prerequisite, its still a loot-box heavy kind of game.

I don't know about you guys, but the amount of downvotes EA is getting is pretty refreshing.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Almost half a million downvotes.


Its... beautiful.. in its own way.

Anyone know what the previously most downvoted comment was?

I kinda feel sorry for whoever made this Reddit Post.

He/she was probably some guy/gal that was just doing there job at EA.

That job just happened to be a mouth peace of an asshole reading generic responses they have for complaints made against loot boxes.

If it was just a script, I feel sorry for them and I hope they don't get fired.

So ive pretty much lost all interest in Battlefront 2, was hoping the campaign would be decent and that i might pick it up during a sale because of it but what ive seen so far it looks incredibly meh

Decided to read online a bit and found some stuff about what happens later and its.. not surprising, kind of wish they would not go down this route though:

Iden defects to the rebels.... yaaaaaaaay.. would it have hurt to have a campaign as an imperial loyalist for once? Would have been far more interesting.

(if its true that is, im watching up to this point anyway)

I cold use some advice.I have rcently started thinking about what I will do with my tax money at the start of next year. Should be around $700 or so. Last year, I purchased a Switch and at this moment it is my primary and only gaming console. Now, the options that lay before me are three fold.

Should I use the money for the Xbox One X, one of my best friends has been hounding me to get a One. From what I have gathered it looks like a bargain for $500 equipped with a 4k HD Blu Ray player combined with the ability to play in 4k, which I have never experienced. But real talk, 4k doesn't excite me that much. I am not convinced it is worth the investtment. There are a handful of games here I want to play, some multi plat and others first party such as Halo Wars 2, Gears of War 4 and MAss Effect Andromeda and Star Wars Battlefront 2.

But then there is the cheaper PS4 Pro. It looks to be a better dollar value then the X and has the best first party offerings outside of Nintendo. Horizon Zero Dawn and Detroit: Become Human look phenominal. And it is still a capable console for the package. I just know zero PS players personally. And this would be the first time I ever climbed on board the platform while it is relevant. I have owned PS2s and original playstations and even a PS3 but always after they were discontinued. Save a little more money and buy more games.

But one specific question I want to ask anyone who uses these platforms is tthis. How does PSN compare to XBox Live? I have heard horror stories about haccks and network crashes on the PS4 platform. Is it that bad? Because at $60 a year, I want to know my online experieence can be trusted and if the PSN is that unreliable than paying more money for the X with the trade off on Sony's first party games seems worth it to me.

Lastly I could always just take the money and go all in on the Switch. I love the console(favorite Niintendo console to date) and get everything I need to make the most out of it with money left over to get alll of my must have games for at least months. I already acquired a carrying case, 128gb sd card, screen protecter ect. Just need a Pro Controller and a portable battery charger. Then use the left over money for games. I sacrifice certain third party releases but I wont be spreading myself over multiple platforms.

If anyone has any feedback on certain aspects of my question I would appreciate it.

You could put it towards that sexy retirement plan, since the younger generations yet to be born won’t want to pay for it.

Nothing’s more fun than financial security.

The original Battlefront II guy was fully loyal.

Maybe FN-2199 was descended from him.

Yeah but technically you were just nameless clones, not a set character. You had the narrator but you know you died a lot in that game, so it was hardly as if you were playing as that dude, he was more of your commander.

Well then you’re an infinite number of Imperial loyalists.

Who could want more?

Also full playthrough up on youtube is 4 hours long.

What a joke

4 hours. 4 hours.

What? They expect us to pay 60$ four a four hour campaign and mp with loot boxes?

Fuck that.

Here is a better idea:

Buy all three Spyro games on PSN and play them instead

Overwatch has loot boxes and has no campaign, but 60 dollars is a fair trade in my eyes.

60 bucks for the GOTY edition, 40 for the base game.

EA's a shit company consistently voted worst company by consumers almost every year. I don't understand why people buy into them as much anymore.

I think it's been foreshadowed even in the trailer.

The main character just has too much arguments and fights with her commander. Grand Moff Tarkin, I believe?

That settles things, there isn't anything even remotely for me in this game.

I'm a "devil's" advocate for a lot things that people love to blindly shit on in the gaming industry, but damn, there really doesn't seem to be any redeeming value in BFII (2017) at all.

4 hours is short?

Then what constitutes for a long single-player campaign?

Well Witcher 3 is super fucking long, but thats a different kind of game. For an FPS, about 10-12 hours i'd say. I think the Metro games are both about 8 or so hours from what i remember, and their campaigns are really enjoyable and feel like a decent length.

It's on the lower end of average for the shooter genre.

If you want a long shooter campaign, I'd recommend one of the ARMA series.
