Can someone explain these user review scores to me? I agree that Battlefront is not worth fucking $60 (mostly because it's pretty lacking in game content for that price).
But a 3.4/10 average score? Playing this game has honestly been one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've had in years, and the game as a whole feels extremely polished. I find it hard to get frustrated as a game as arcadey as this
What gives with that review score? Why does everyone hate battlefront so much?

Don't ask us to do the work for you. You were literally there with the info at your fingertips
Fuck
Because the only people who care about user scores are either the dick sucking fanboys or the cock sucking h8orz
>>323289115
it pretty much seems like everyone's just salty that it's not like the old pandemic games. It's still very fun in it's own right. I wonder how it would be received if it were not titled as a part of the battlefront series? If it were just "Star Wars Battle" or some shit?
>>323289408
>People are salty that a next gen AAA game with million dollar production values has less content and gameplay than a 10 year old PS2 game
Gee I wonder why
>>323289281
I care, because the reviews are SO bad that they almost kept me from buying it - even though I knew I enjoyed the beta and even though two of my friends had already bought it. I got it on sale for $30 finally and play it almost every night. It's not getting old, the gameplay is solid.
The review scores gave me the implication that there were actually major problems with the gameplay other than it just not being like the older battlefronts. It wasnt what people were hoping for, but I wasn't hoping for anything in particular so I found it to be great when I first picked it up. It's overpriced for what it is, but definitely not a 3/10 like some buggy piece of shit

I dont get why everyone hates it that much either. Yeah it was a disappointment, but people act like it's a 0/10. It's actually prettyfun

The game is fun,but it's definitely not worth $60 bucks.It's worth $20 at best.All the complaints in this thread are pretty valid.

This.
User score should ditch 2-9 and just have yes/no, and then it says X% liked this like steam reviews does.
A user score of 3.4/10 leads me to believe 34% of people who go to meta critic liked it.

User reviews on metacritic are always on one extreme. If you play a game and find it okay, why would you write a metacritic review for it? Metacritic scores consist 100% of shills, trolls and angry mobs.
>>323288959
How new are you?
Whenever a huge AAA title comes out, people here go to Metacritic and bomb it with bad scores. It's been going on for like 3 years now. Battlefield is mediocre as fuck, but sure as hell not a 3.4.

>>323288959
I get what you mean. Sure it's not a great game but it doesn't deserve a 0/10. 5/10 minimum.
Even the main EA fuckboi youtubers who do BF4 videos haven't made many videos on Battlefront.
They haven't even been making BF4 videos lately they have been making R6 Siege videos instead.
>>323295807
what videos could they make about Battlefront anyway
most of the modes aren't even played and everyone's seen all 4 maps and all 0 classes.
Because Dice made what amounts to an arcade game with pretty graphics and tried to sell it for full price.

User reviews get hammered by bandwagoners on games that it's popular to hate. It's mostly underage shitters from this board and reddit doing it.
Spending more than 5 seconds thinking about it, let alone making a fucking thread about it, is giving these kind of shitstains way more recognition than they deserve
>>323295901
Well it just goes to show that not even they want to make videos about it and that there is no interest in them. These are the guys who get flown out by EA to go to events and paid ronku bucks to make videos about the game.
If there was interest they would be making them, instead they are playing Siege, Squad and other games and releasing videos of them instead.

Honestly, I'd rather play CoD.

I love the way the blasters feel. This game gives me the same vibe Dark Forces did when I was a little kid, I really enjoy it
I guess it's only fun to you if you really love star wars shit because I see a lot of people ITT arguing that it is not fun at all
>>323296319
Heaps of people that played the previous Battlefront games hate it because unless it's *exactly the same* as the previous games, it's total shit. Also I guarantee most haven't even played it, but they know it's shit because reasons.

I really hope this is either a shill or just bait.
the voice actors for all the movie characters are horrible. Especially Luke
We live in an era in which people tend to rate things either with a 0 or a 10. This one got more 0s than 10s and it got that incredibly low score.
I haven't played but I'm pretty sure, like you, that the game gets a pass, even if it is not a 10/10
It's on Newegg for $35. I played it with my roommate and shit was fun.

>>323295989
>Imperials often have an advantage based on the mode, and have better heroes.
Which is basically never? The only single game mode they have an advantage on is turning point but that is only because of the retarded spawns on the last capture point.
Also Rebel heros are a million times better than imperial heroes. Stuns for days and the Han has the highest damage output possible among the heros and villains.

So, you haven't played a multiplayer game in years. Got it.
>>323297203
What you don't seem to understand is that you and me, the "informed consumer", we're the exeption.
These 13 million are little kids that say "mom I want Star Wars for Playstation!", normies that usually play FIFA and Halo, and people who make their buying decisions based on TV ads. They're the market, not us. This is why "voting with your wallet" and boycotting doesn't work. This is why SJW complaints are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It's all just buying power driven by marketing, with people who consume the media so unenthusiastically that they don't even realize when they're playing a shit game.
Plus, Battlefront released along with The Force Awakens, which had more hype than pretty much anything else in the history of media.
>>323288959
It'll be worth picking up in a few years when they shove out a gold edition that has all dlc. Get that used.

They could have just called the game Star Wars. Scores would've went up at least 3 points
>>323297203
Well it had sold pretty average up until Christmas shopping took place. Then you have all these people buying copies of the game as gifts for gamers and/or Star Wars fans they know. Pushing it through as a half assed effort to coincide with Christmas and the movie got the job done just as well as investing more time and money to make a good game.

>Playing this game has honestly been one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've had in years,

>>323297705
Yeah, kind of. The only MP I put any actual time into was GTA online and BF4 over the past couple years, and I dont enjoy the MP in either of them all that much, was mostly just playing with IRL friends. Probably the last really fun MP game I played before Battlefront was was Splinter Cell Blacklist. Shame that brilliant game is hidden behind such a shitty convoluted interface.
I admit I have not been gaming nearly as much as I used to, and I haven't been browsing /v/ because of it
>>323296319
That's hilariously wrong because I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan, tried to come at the game as a fanboy, and was sorely disappointed. The guns feel awful and inaccurate. The only thing satisfying about getting a kill are the death animations.
>>323296451

I figured as such before the remake had come out. Mobility is some of the best game design potential in all of the industry.
>>323299324
Battlefront isn't popular though. It was received as average at best by critics and just a disappointment to everyone else
>>323288959
Never trust Metacritic scores, people generally vote 0 or 10. I used to hate how Steam only had "like" or "dislike," then I realized having a 1-10 scale is the same thing in practice.
Also Metabombing, which is probably what happened here. Arguably justified since Battlefront pretty much sums up everything wrong with EA.

is this your first shooter? No, seriously. The combat is extremely shallow, the game is more casual than CoD and Battlefield combined. I don't know how anyone can play this game for more than a few hours, it's simply a poorly designed experience with zero depth.

Game was too simplified in an attempt at uniting underage toddlers with their fathers on the couch as they played the game.
Problem with this is that they got the whole thing backwards: you have to make it engaging for the father the play the game. His son will join him after his father was secured in playing it.
Because the game was turned into suh a kiddie friendly experience, parents don't want to touch the game too much as its a less engaging experience than fishing , baseballing or even fighting games.
TL/DR : the games' lack of competitiveness and gameplay depth makes adults shy away from it, effectively turning the community into toddlers (who you basically tailored the game for).
Kids will always follow trends. Their place in the game was already secured (as you can see in CoD iterations ) . problem was you failed to recognize this and alienated every grow up from this franchise.
I mean. Seriously. Not even a score board? The implications for both not having a scoreboard and deciding for not having it in the first place (such as peole camping hero upgrades to rampage through the map in godmode) are bad and speak ill of the game.
>>323297203

Star Wars is a hell of a money maker.
2015 was the year every kid in America got the star wars fever. They all rewatched the prequels and OT, went to see TFA, and then got Battlefront for Christmas, likely from a bundle with a ps4
Aside from anything to do with Kyle Katarn, Battlefront, KOTOR or Republic Commando what are some good Star Wars games?

No it's not, you can't camp hero upgrades, they appear randomly on the map. Card system works fine as far as I can tell.
And I actually couldn't care less what the self-appointed leader of the pcmasterrace fedora brigade Total Moron thinks about the game.
>>323296451
It's not that it's not "exactly the same." It's objectively worse. They took out half the content and added what exactly? A few gameplay modes no one plays? Changed classes to a poorly designed character creation and loadout?
>>323300514
I really hate this fucking card bullshit that's now in a lot of games. I mean, why cards? It could be just a simple fucking icon in a menu but no.
>>323300071
Everything asides from the scoreboard is pretty accurate . down to the hero powerful camping bullshit.
There aren't even map objectives anymore. I mean, there are, but they're linear as fuck as opposed to old games like battlefield 1942 where you could do whatever the fuck you pleased on the map. SW:BF is a (exageration) railroad MP experience.
There is less content in a fucking new current gen game than it's previous entry on the PS2. This is a fucking step backwards

Don't forget, some cards straight up make you kill other players regardless of skill and class. They just straight up make you better than everyone else without that card. Plus, you can spend money to get them faster as opposed to 1 month grinding and getting BTFO by pay-2-win faggots.
>>323299474
Okay then I will provide my opinion.
>The game has absolutely stunning graphics and sound design and is probably the most authentic game I've ever played.
>The shooting mechanics are very simple and doesn't require much skill but provides a decent visual impact. Wether or not you will enjoy this depends on if you want a game with high skill or a more laid back experience.
>The maps are very well designed and will give a very balanced fight in most situations however spawn camping can be a problem from time to time.
>There are only a limited amount of maps so the game can become very repetitive over time.
>Team work is very shallow and is only allowed in the most rudimentary sense.
>There are many different gamemodes with interesting ideas but fall flat from the lack of teamwork possible, not allowing for much variation, and are eclipsed but the main gamemode.
Overall a very well crafted game, hampered by it's lack of depth and content.
If you're looking for a hardcore shooter then this is not the game for you. If you want a more casual experience then wait until it's less then thirty dollars or more content has been released, otherwise can't recommend.

>>323300710
Makes no sense. Leia can roll. Fucking Princess Leia can roll. Why can't trained soldier roll?
It can't be a mechanical thing, because fucking Leia does it right there.
>>323288959
Play it for more than an hour and you'll find all the inherent flaws in the game. While it looks great and is a decent SW experience, tons of issues with mechanics, lag compensation, and imbalance exist.
Despite the fact that I know I won't submit it, I made a list of shit wrong with the game, with a few saved videos to back it up. The only thing that would take away a very little amount of the crap I feel from this game is if I were allowed to KB+M it. Very floaty, shit wobbling with a controller, like almost any other instance.
>>323300635
>It could be just a simple fucking icon in a menu but no.
that's all they even really are. The cards are just items/abilities that have a cool-down for each time you use them. You have combinations of 3 of them and that makes up your loadout (excepting your blaster). They're just represented as cards in their icons and names so retards understand them easier I guess

>>323300895
I think they dont allow regular soldiers to roll because they want to make sure that one soldier who's played by someone really good cant "out-skill" everyone else by rolling around and being impossible to hit. They wanted to make the game arcadelike; the opposite of something like Quake

Just bad programming. Last night, I had a game that ended in our side losing a Walker Assault on Hoth, one almost full health walker, no ships in the air on their side and the word DEFEATED just sprawls across the screen, despite our actual victory. The game's so fucked it can't even tell who actually wins.
>>323288959
Had a good time with some friends on PS4 for a cuple of weeks.
Sucks to play alone
>>323301609
Just because the movies were shit doesn't mean they weren't fun as fuck in BF1/2
RODGER BROS REPORT IN
fucking jump jets and bowcaster is the star wars noob-combo
True fags use that plus a DL-44/Han Solo's pistol to be as obnoxious as possible
>>323288959
Is really not a bad game, just severely lacking in content, honestly it is very well made
Also it borderline shuns fans of the original Battlefronts and they have every right to be mad
7/10 to me.
Lacks depth but I didnt expect that when I got it for 30 bucks. I knew it was arcadey as fuck and I like it. My main issue is lack of maps.
Splatoon may have more maps by now.
>>323302276
The only thing well-made about the game us the aesthetic. The battle areas are poorly laid out but look great. That's it.
I don't care how impressive you can make a pile of garbage look, it doesn't negate the fact that it's still a pile of garbage.
>>323297203
I think the same way when people buy "no games" ps4
My brother bought this game for me for Christmas.
I played about 4 games in total. I have no desire to play it again. That's how bad it is. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a "nothing" game. BF1 and 2 were so much better.
>>323302524
I disagree it also sounds really good plays pretty smoothly
>>323289408
it would have been less of a disappointment, but a disappointment still
2 game modes, 4-5 maps (last i checked) and shallow as fuck pew pew combat
fun for 8 hours and boring afterwards
i feel my eyes glaze over just watching people play it
>>323301609
Bro, just because the movies were shit doesn't mean the aesthetics of Clones, droids and vehicles were too
>>323288959
>Splatoon suffered the same shit and even worse (only two maps, no friend lobby and no mic supported)

So...It's okay when Nintendo does it right?
>>323302693
>plays pretty smoothly
Not at all. It's clunky, you get stuck on the most random of shit on the terrain/can't climb for shit. If you, however, really think it plays well, I can't fault you for not knowing a bad game when you play it.
>>323302769
I dislike nintendrones but you have to at least admit splatoon did something different
>>323302693
>plays pretty smoothly
It really doesn't. But I have the aching feeling you're one of those types with a motive who's going to say the game is flawless
>>323302908

Why did Pandemic close its doors again? What was the reason?
>>323302908
Yes, Splatoon have good gameplay and god tier final boss but it doesn't change the fact that people are hating the same shit that Splatoon had
>>323302769
It wasn't behind a pay wall unlike EA charging for shit we don't know yet, it doesn't help that Star wars Battlefront EA 2 is being worked on
>>323303258
EA
>>323303313
True but you have to remember that Splatoon is an original IP. Whereas BF is an established great IP, so a shit disappointing game hurts all the more.
>I find it hard to get frustrated as a game as arcadey as this
That's funny because I found nothing but frustration in it. I never felt like I had any influence on the battle, just that I'd kill or get killed based on crappy spawns, infinite grenade spam, and randomly generated power ups. Even fair fights always came down to who pulled the trigger first.
I've played 40+ hours of it.
The things I dislike about it:
>Not many planets/maps
>No mode like in classic BF where each team has tickets and are fighting to control spawn points
>No 64 player mode, 40 is max
>Starfighters and Vehicles are not spawned on the map
>Rebels have no ground vehicles
>No classes
>Simplified AT-AT and flight controls
>Hero and Killstreaks are spread out across the map to be picked up
>No singleplayer/galactic conquest
I still enjoy it though. Shooting a blaster feels fantastic and the sound/visuals are amazing. I really feels like Star Wars.
>>323299965
>>323297743
sometimes I wish I was a kid so I could just enjoy games because they are something that looks fun and cool, rather than the games being based on my personal experience of what is actually good
I hate being such a cynical jaded faggot when it comes to videogames
>>323303313
EA has two road maps to make a good game where splatoon is new ip
>>323303571
you must just suck then because I find it very easy to do well in this game and I've only played it like 15 hours of it since I first got it.
>>323303920
>>323303571
the standard E-11 blaster rifle is all you need to do well in this game. A headshot or 3 quick shots to the body and they're dead. Only the DL-44 is more effective, but thats just when up close because the DL-44 is OP as fuck up close
>>323301609
Star wars means wars. First, that means more than one. Second, it means war, not domestic terrorist action.
>>323290309
Did you remember to buy the season pass for only $49.99 extra?
>low skill ceiling
>p2w
>player skill matters less that items or level
This is literally a casual mobile game reskinned to look like a AAA game. The people who play this aren't even the CoD dudebro crowd, but the smartphone "gamer" crowd.
>>323305319
what is it? You just pay to get all the unlocks without having to level up?
>>323288959
It's because of /v/ and 8/v/ spamming low scores because it's not Battlefront 3. Oddly enough, it never pretended to be Battlefront 3, so I don't see why people are so butthurt.
>>323305472
No, it pretends to be Battlefront. It literally tries to erase all record of the old ones. If it was called BF3 people would search about 1&2.
Being just battlefront, the uneducated public won't try to know.
>>323288959
Dude I love the game. I've had it since day one and still playing daily.
It's cool to hate stuff. It's cool to say negative things than it is to say positive things. It gives you more attention when you say "OMG this sucks ballz! EA steals money blah blah DLC blah blah hate hate."
Game is fucking great. Very well made game. Honestly the most fun I had with a multiplayer game since I first discovered Team Fortress 2.
They're announcing new DLC in the next week/2 weeks. Can't wait.
Users give extreme scores as a method to prove a point. There's many shitty reviewers like Jim Sterling and Anthony Burch who do the same thing. They give a game a 0 out of 10 to try and drive a point home and then you read the reveiw they wrote and it's actually pretty mild leaving commenters saying "why did you give it such a low score and then spend half your review praising it?" and of course at the other end of the spectrum i've seen them give shitty indie games 10 out of 10 just as a means to draw attention to it because they feel it's underrated.
I am kinda bored by original saga films, stormtroopers, rebels , vader all that shit.
I'd love to see prequels more even if the movies weren't that good it gave us an amazing theme.
A strategy game set in the clones era , or 4x game would work really nice.
Maybe even a L4D version of star wars with clones. Just not by EA.
How do I git gud with Luke and Vader
>>323305815
Go away nights_wake
>>323300123
God, that multiplayer mode with the bases was fucking great. If I recall correctly, my friends and I always used to make that mode into a pseudo-survival mode
One of us would capture all of the neutral bases, and just start sending all of the forces to attack the enemy HQ. Then we'd set up a timer and see how long they can defend the HQ. It was pretty alright.
>>323305472
>it never pretended to be Battlefront 3
Instead of using the name Battlefront they shouldve just called it Battlefield: Star Wars then there would be no comparison to the older battlefront games.
>>323306104
the beautiful graphics designed to look straight out of the OT combined with the constant movie music and sound effects make SW fanboys have an extreme boner for this game
>>323306393
It has more in common with Battlefront than it does Battlefield though.
>>323305472
>Oddly enough, it never pretended to be Battlefront 3
Except being called Battlefront and being the third game with such a title
>>323306393
Battlefield: Star Wars would have been much better than what we got. DICE forgot how to make a mainstream shooter somehow.
Is EA contractually the only company that can make major Star Wars games?
>>323306572
Too bad about the gameplay. The graphics are really the only thing that impresses me. And the twi'lek speaking in her native tongue when you emote I guess.
Everything else is a series of shortcomings that amount to one of the biggest cases of videogame blue balls I've ever experienced.
>>323305862
I've always said that the problems with the prequels aren't the settings, characters, or plots, but just the directing.
You could make a good movie out of the Naboo invasion.
>>323306870
EA just publishes games though, right?
>>323306046
Mash the lightsaber button
>>323306938
Some people really like the gameplay, it's a matter of opinion. It's very arcadey and there's a relatively low skill ceiling. I think it's fun
>>323288959
>What gives with that review score? Why does everyone hate battlefront so much?
Retards still think EA Battlefront is Battlefront 3 so they think it should have all the content Battlefront 2 had plus new content.
Instead we have a totally new game built from the scratch with a totally diferent gameplay and new maps.
>>323288959
>Playing this game has honestly been one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've had in years
Probably because you have shit taste in multiplayer games DICE-kun.
>>323307435
I feel that's part of what makes it a shallow, uninteresting experience. 'Arcadey' doesn't cut it. Dying to situations out of your control and being spawncamped have always been the hallmarks of poor design. As much as I love the franchise, I'm not excusing this game simply for being Star Wars, especially when it carries the name of a series that actually was extremely engaging.
It deserves the low scores. That's the only thing EA will look at when they try to figure out why nobody wanted this shit at release and it didn't start moving until the holidays.
Honestly, they could have taken bf4 and put a Star Wars skin on it and it would have been better than the new Battlefront. How did they fuck up this hard? Did they not have anyone who played the originals on the design team?
>>323307576
I wish new automatically meant better
New Endor looks fantastic but it's such a goddamn clusterfuck
>>323288959
The game is bland in every single way except graphics and sound
I ended up buying battlefield 4 over it and I have no regrets despite it being an EA game
>>323297203
Star Wars has gotten to the point that no matter how bad the games, books, shows, movies, etc are. It will sell because it's Star Wars., especially now with the Mouse holding the domain over people's heads, and that The Force Awakens is on track of becoming the highest grossing fiilm of all time, and it hasn't even opened worldwide yet.
The only thing that can kill Star Wars at this point is if Disney wants to kill it off, it's just too big at this point.
>>323307435
>It's very arcadey and there's a relatively low skill ceiling.
Those are negatives, and even if you like those things it's just all around poorly designed. They half-assed every aspect of the game besides graphics and sound, this is a shameless cash-in to make money off of the Force Awakens hype.
>user score
>meaning anything
If you have any site with a user rating system its always flooded with:
>I like this game -10/10
>I hate this game - 0/10
Reviews that actually take the time to judge the games on their merits are lost between the 0's and the 10's.
>>323301076
>As if user reviews are supposed to be professional
If they don't like the game at all, why should it get a decent score?
>>323306284
my brother was a dick. he found we found out that the AATs charged cannon could hit the republic base from the other end of the map and he would just spam that if he ever was losing
>>323300167
It depends what they add. If its a character I like I wont be able to stop myself.
I'll go full shill. Star Wars is my embarrassing weakness
>>323288959
user scores for popular games by notorious developers or publishers are extremely skewed by 0s who haven't played the game or people who just want to piss off fans
I got it for Christmas and I only got around to playing it a couple days ago.
I dunno, considering it was free I can't really complain, and the core gameplay is actually really fun. It needs more communication options and MORE THAN FOUR FUCKING MAPS.
What's the betting the first DLC almost doubles the number of maps for an extortionate price?
>>323296001
It has less content the DS ports.
What was DICE thinking?
>>323309102
5*
Five maps now. But don't expect any more TFA/prequel content. EA wants to focus on the OT even though the conveniently neglected including maps for locations like the Death Star interior, Bespin, or Dagobah. It fucking wreaks of cut content
>>323296001
>It doesn't have things that a totally diferent game from a totally diferent comany had!!!
I just want to believe you are only pretending to be this retarded.
>>323291784
Fun for 3 hours isnt worth 60 bucks.
>>323294714
Definition of casual dudebro
>>323309412
Ignoring TFA content is such a bafflingly stupid move. That movie just came out, made a shitload of cash and people are praising it as the savior of star wars already.
And you DONT want to capitalize on all that hype with some dlc? You sure? Really?
It's not even like putting the clone wars in, you don't have to go through the headache of droid types. It's literally just Rebels + Empire with some new skins on top. No new animations required. Plus you've got more than background characters for heroes and villains. While sticking to OT basically limits you to Chewie, Lando and throwaway bounty hunters.
What the fuck are they thinking.
>>323299587
This desu even though it applies for AAA-titles mostly. Same happens on IMDB where every oscarbait pleb piece of shit movie has a ridiculously high score.
Because there are only two good things about the game: Graphics and sound.
Everything is dogshit.
>>323296001
1k hours between bf 1 and 2 is not a lot anon. Then again it was the only games I played while I was younger for like 2 years.
>>323294714
>No clone wars
>good thing
Look, we get the whole "prequels are so bad they killed my family" meme, but if you're going to have a fucking game on fullscale war battles then maybe you should use the only fucking time in the movies in which two militaries fought each other.
this game would be great if it wasn't EA, but since EA made it and they're money whores, they held a huge portion of the game for dlc. the only real problem with the game is the lack of content. I'm currently torn on whether or not to buy the season pas because I love this game and want more of it but at the same time I don't want to support these tactics from EA
>>323288959
Metacritic should end user scores. Most of the time are just fedora lords giving 0/10 with fake accounts and thinking they are "figthing against the big ebil company xD"
>>323309787
It's because they're saving it for Battlefront 2. Imagine paying $110 for a game you can only play for one year.
>>323302046
CIS SCUM HERE ROLLING MY DESTROYERS DOWN YOUR COCK HUNGRY GULLET
>>323310781
Imagine EA: BF had those droids as troops for a CIS faction. Wouldn't hey be OP as fuck as they are hard to be hit with a blaster?
>>323311246
Not if you could roll faster then they can turn and get them from behind. Bend the lore a bit and make the shields only front facing like with the turrets.
>>323310601
Nothing in the prequels is worth making canon, that's why EU us garbage and their games are Naruto lightsaber flip around shit. The only things that matter are three original trilogy if you start adding prequels shit you instantly accept anything and everything those movies introduced, if that is you then kill yourself.
>>323309412
you know what the worst part is? Considering I got the game free if those three maps were in one pack for a reasonable price I would probably fucking buy it. Being a star wars fan is suffering.
>>323311823
Prequels were more enjoyable than the OT
Old EU is more canon than Disney canon
>>323309412
TFA would be fucking perfect for Battlefront as well. I bet you any money TFA content conveniently features in the sequel.
>Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma as heroes
>Stun Baton star card
it would be at least a little bit cool.
>>323312048
Finn+Phasma, two gunner heroes
Kylo Ren+Rey, lightsabers
Easy.
>>323300167
same here
>>323312027
It's treason then.
>>323312348
HE IS THE TRAITOR
>>323288959
It's because people always flock to one extreme, If they liked a game they give it a ten and if they disliked it they give it a zero.
Youtube realized this system was bad years ago and changed from a five stars system to like/dislike.
>>323288959
You want an explanation? Ok, sit tight, this might be hard to understand, but bear with me. Are you ready? Ok, good: anyone can create an account and post a review even if they have never even touched the game.
Mindblowing, I know.
