What happened to the hype?
>>
>>339981063
Everyone knew what to expect going in
>>
>>339981063
atleast it looks good
>>
It sold over 14 million. It was an insane success for EA and Dice.
>>
People got to play it.
>>
>>339981063
>>339981182
Pretty much this, the only people that were hyped after beta were legitimate retards, before beta could have just been seen as optimistic but Dice can't make anything outside of Battlefield.
>>
>>339981063
everyone bought it and moved on. now people are just waiting for the next hype train to drain their wallets.
>>
Not enough content to stay fresh or gameplay elements to have fun beyond a certain amount.
>>
>>339981063
I played it a while ago and I thought it was much improved since I remembered it from launch. I had quite a bit of fun in the big battles desu.

Everyone played it and moved on when they got bored. These games are the norm now, multiplayer only fotm games.
>>
>>339981063
because they went to and saw almost every single star wars movie prop and costume and still managed to fuck up maps, armors and weapons.

They fucked up the gameplay by making it a arcady shooter, tokens and no classes is a retarded decision
>>
>>339983664

Playing Battlefront and then playing Battlefield 4 is painful

Battlefield 4 has a ton of maps, classes that require everyone work as a team, hundreds of weapons, weapon customization, and the controls and visuals are just as tight as Battlefront.

Meanwhile Battlefront has some authentic sounds and models, that's what they've got going for them because the gameplay is empty as fuck.

Wasted potential to a bland multiplayer shooter.

Basically foreshadowing EA's intention with the license. Just fuck everything up as badly as possible.
>>
>>339981063
They focused everything on making it sound and look like Star Wars, and they nailed that part except voice acting
Too bad the gameplay is like using training wheels
>>
What was more disappointing?
When Battlefront became Call of Duty or when Fallout became Call of Duty?
>>
>>339981063
>EA game

idk what you people expected.
>>
>>339986040
When EA got the rights to make Star Wars vidya.
>>
Infinite warfare stole the hype.
>>
>>339981063
It had nothing going for it so it promptly died.
>>
>>339984551
not really for example, darth vader is his ROTJ design and storm troopers are a miss match of random left over props rather then anyone version yes its nit picking but its not authentic to the maps or series
>>
>>339981063
Even my normie family members who bought it regret the shit out of it.

Everyone can tell how shit the game is.
>>
>>339987590
Both are fucking garbage.
>>
>>339982513
literally everyone capable of making informed purchases said this
>>
>>339988113

You must be autistic, the game sucks ass but the only legitimate visual complaint besides female stormtroopers is ROTJ luke being on the hoth map
>>
>>339981306
Destiny sold extremely well for Bungie and Activision, what's your point anon?
>>
>>339988624
first of all they fixed that, second of all its actually a really common complaint on star wars fan sites

also female storm troopers are canon sounds more like you know jack shit about the series

>but there were none in the movies
comics and books and them stating there were females not enough for you?
>>
>>339988697
and what's yours?
>>
>>339988624
>hoth having star destroyers in orbit right near the one thing that could shoot them out of the sky
>tie fighters able to get through the shield generator defeating the point of the AT-ATs
more like you never played it and just spout the same shit everyone says, the one thing the game got right and I mean the only thing is the music
>>
>>339989141
Just because a game sells well doesn't mean it's any good. It just means the marketing team all got fat bonuses and Gamestop had lots of used copy.
>>
>>339981063
It's almost as if anything with the word "Battle" in it is doomed to fail
>Star Wars: Battlefront
>Battleborn
>next will be Battlefield 1
>>
>>339990732
With all the shit Infinite Warfare is getting and all the praise BF1 is getting, I doubt it.
>>
>>339981063
fucking ea, thats what happened. take a goldmine of a game:

>don't have a campaign,

>don't have space battles,

>dont add more heros/villians so there is no hero vs villain battle,

>make the games small scale as chink dick so no large reenactments of star wars battles

>dont have conquest mode

>don't add any of the prequel star wars material.

>no balancing or bug fixing

>ORGIN ONLY!!!

>expecting people to shill out shekles for season pass to get new content that should of been in the base game..

>Don't even properly add vehicles so they are completely worthless.

>maps so linear and empty they make COD games seem complex.

this game is exactly everything thats wrong with the industry. taking beloved franchises with amazing potential, and expecting people to dump out their wallets for the most bland piece of shit they could come up with.
>>
>>339981063
4 maps... why did I buy it...
>>
>>339981063
still is one of the top selling games of this gen from idiots like you who fell for the hype.
>>
>>339993196
every fucking time.

>we are never going to buy games from activision and EA ever again

>hey guys want to try our new mirrors edge and battlefront

>OGMGMOGMGOM. ME LUV YOU LONG TIME, TAKE ALL MY MONEY.

>repeat cycle
