Did it flop?
>>
nope XD
>>
>>319364370
Probably not but like a lot of recent shooters it probably underperformed a little and I doubt it got the foothold EA wanted and the game won't have much longevity. They won't be able to push DLC down the line to as many people, which was obviously the plan given how little content the game has.

The sales numbers aren't great right now, but its got the combined purchasing power of a new (possibly good) star wars movie and Christmas coming up. It could ship with a turd in the box instead of a disk and it would make back its development cost at the very least.

critically yes, besides for shill sites like ign etc. EA's response is hilarious, they're out there yelling "ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SHALLOW AND CASUAL" like that makes it ok or something

commercially it's fucking star wars, it could literally be a single map with a single gun for $60 and it would sell like hotcakes on name alone

although the player base is already dieing, besides on console. but consolefriends will play anything with enough marketing and a big name, so it'll probably be dead there too here soon.

Battlefield cuts up the large maps into smaller sections for the smaller game modes, nobody considers that extra maps.

Suddenly Battlefront does it and it's considered extra maps.

Except that is 100% not true at all. Play the game and see for yourselves. The smaller maps are completely separate and different.

I've heard nothing but bad things from reviewers and casualfags alike about Battlefront, yet EA says that the game is still well on its way to selling 13 gazillion copies by March. I guess they're banking hard on the movie.

This is actually wrong, for the most part. The smaller maps incorporate some assets and rooms from the bigger maps but they do have different layouts.

That being said, who gives a shit? The main mode is Supremacy/ Walker Assault and they share the same 5 maps, with Jakku. They're what 90% of servers are going to be hosting and you'll get bored of them in a week.

Its already out anon, and yeah, its just the crashed Star Destroyer from the trailer at the bottom of the skybox on the horizon and otherwise just a rearranging of the Tatooine assets. They're morons for pretending they're adding a whole new planet instead of just saying they're adding more maps to the planets included, starting with Tatooine but the retards who bought the game will take any and all content they're given between now and their $50 season pass actually resulting in a patch.

they dont moderate the board anymore, they dont ban shitposters, they actually encourage it now. they ban people for shitposting when they derail shitposting threads

a lot of the reason for this is because 4chan owner now accepts money for promote certain products, so youll see very deliberate threads being made by janitors/moderators to discuss a game, and anyone that says anything negative about it gets banned/post deleted

but then you see like 5 other threads of people rampantly shitposting and nobody gets banned

The gameplay looks braindead, the aiming mechanics look simple, each game I've seen played goes exactly the same way, the balance seems broken, the skill ceiling looks like I'd need to crouch, the game modes seem basic and outside of walker assault nobody seems to play them, flying/vehicle play seems boring, there are only 4 planets which is boring.

Actually that's about right. Even in Rogue Squadron the Slave 1 can't take a hit worth shit. It's also a clunky nightmare to aim. I never understood why my friend kept picking it.

Yes to both. The devs behind the game are massive OTfags, so that explains that half at least.

can't you read faget its pandering to 8 year olds

>>319378442
isn't it both? those people that were kids when OT came out probably have kids themselves.

some of the commercials i'm seeing on pushing "parent bonds with kid over star wars."

>EA denies reports of low Battlefront sales

>Recently, Gamestop suggested that sales of Star Wars: Battlefront fell “short of expectations”, which may have been true for the brick and mortar store chain but EA’s Peter Moore claims that from the publisher’s view, Battlefront is far from the sales flop that some are currently suggesting, though exact sales figures are still not being revealed.

suck a fat dick faget - the game is shit and so is your shit posting

The game was made f0r 8 year olds in mind to be gud at it. You literally need to presss X to win, so is the game design, in order for a 8 year old to have fun is to make the game so easy that you can't fuck up. SUCK MY FAT DICK FAGET!!!

It'll meet sales expectations, probably. So not really.
But it's not a very good game and doesn't do anything particularly well. Aside from being one of EA's most stable and least atrociously buggy multiplayer launches in a long time.

Whether or not it flopped isn't subjective. It didn't sell as well as they thought, which of course, is what determines a flop.

>>319369971
console peasant only play have one game at a time to play because of the long times between releases.

tomb raider and deus ex didn't sell as well as squeenix thought they would because they expected cod numbers, they apologized for those unrealistic expectations after so no that isn't what makes something a flop

thats the thing dude, a lot of normies hate it. my friends wanted battlefield: star wars edition and they got some shit that was more babbyfied than fucking call of duty

consolefriends still ate it up because brand + marketing but that really doesn't mean anything, consolefriends buy any garbage with enough marketing behind it. games playerbase on all platforms is pathetic compared to what it should be for a AAA star wars game

Gamestop said it under preformed and EA screamed "N-N-NO GUISE, IT DID FINE WITH ITS DIGITAL SALES (even though we won't tell you them) AND THE MOVIE WILL TOTALLY BOOST SALES"
EA bet so fucking hard on graphics selling the game that they forgot to make the game itself fun, add to that being hated by nerds, you know Star Wars' main audience, and you see how much money EA threw in the toilet by buying the Star Wars license

Its hard to tell. As other anons said, one is the sales vs sale expectations flop which, until we have official numbers, we dont know if it did flop that way. In a way it wont flop in sales because its star wars and will sale a lot, but maybe not enough for EA to consider it a success.

It did flop in gamplay design and it will most probably have a life shorter than BF 2 has had because of how shallow it is, but since the game is aimed for the casuals and nostalgia fags EA wont consider it a flop because the lack of depth and skill is intended.

tl:dr
It will seel a lot, but may be considered a flop to EA expectations.
The gameplay flops, but EA consider this ok.

I was that one nerdy kid that proudly raised his hand to that question and wondering why my friends (who I knew were into star wars in a big way) didn't raise their hands too. Then the classroom turned into laughingirls.jpg and those same whores act like they've always been into star wars whenever it gets popular. Same shit happened with batman/dark knight.

>>319364370
You guys wanna know a sad fact?

Enormous games like this from enormous companies like EA in an enormous industry like video games do not fail. They are too big to fail. There is too much money backing it to fail. Sure, it might have been panned by critics, but it still got a pretty good rating overall right?

Hell, up in coming gamer #75849372 sees a 7/10 as a not-as-populer-as-call-of-duty cool alternative. Coupled with the fact star wars is as popular as water right now, coupled with the fact online game is too. Coupled with the fact DLC is slowly being accepted and applauded (deny it now but mark my words) Coupled with the fact CoD and Halo is dying. TRULY dying, in the eyes of mainstream gamers. Games like Battlefront with eye orgasm inducing graphics but shallow as hell gameplay and no content for $60 but a season pass offered for $50 is the new preferred norm.

You know how today society is seen as instant gratification spoiled brats? Know how everyone complains about it? Well be careful what you wish for.

Times have changed. Games have certainly changed.

>>319382846
>EA bet so fucking hard on graphics selling the game

but graphics do sell games anon.

pretty much the only thing matters, from the AAA standpoint, is graphics and branding/marketing, and battlefront has both in spades.

it sucks but I'm sure battlefront sold enough to justify more garbage from EA
>>
It's depressing to know that EA will blame poor sales on gamers having bad taste than ever realizing they made a genuinely bad game.
>>
>>319381074
fair enough

>>319387825
well yeah, they are all so "entitled" and just hate anything that isn't straight or white.

Not sure. Its a great looking game with no longevity that EA hopes to fill with a $50 patch.
Consumers buy into this shit, not realizing its barebones and think its OK.
Right now EAs stock us at the highest its been in its lifetime.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry because the bad guys are winning.
