By the time this goes to EA vault, Origins, Wolfenstein II and other recent games will be sold for peanuts too. Nothing about this game says that you have to buy it Dayone. It's best to wait till everything is fixed and all DLC is out. I will recommend people Destiny 2 over this. Atleast progression is not broken and tied to microtransactions in that game.

CarbonCore Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 They removed MTs without changing in-game economy and as a result progression is really, really slow. I have a few epic cards and crafting parts thanks to various bonuses, but everything feels halted because its still lootbox driven and they're still expensive af. And the real currency of the game is not credits or xp or battle points or crystals, its crafting parts, which you almost never get. Vader still kicks a*s though, with a single puny common card. I just wish he didn't run like an old man (which he is). Spawning him 200m from action feels cruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can buy it a year late but by then new games will be out too and people will move away. Destiny is a loot based game which lacks content in-general. This at least has enough content and everything will free, unlike Destiny 2 whose DLC already sounds disappointing. As for the MTs, well, it's gone for now. DICE already stated they are working on new system and cosmetics. But, hey, feel free to sing the same old tune. 2 minutes ago, Engineer said: Peanut 1 kg costs only ₹240 but wolfenstein II at 75% off still costs ₹749 Cool.

yash_495 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 ^^ True.. Day 1 in an online game is an altogether another feeling.. even the player count will decrease after a while. As for destiny, DLC is expensive af.. Main game is also not what i expected but oh well wrong thread to whine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingMan777 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Everybody is harping about MT and lootboxes, and I am sitting here wondering why this game is being considered better than the original even if those issues never came up. The story is weak and badly directed at least based on the first few missions. There is no character development, barely any background and zero coherence between chapters. The space combat is nothing special. The MP is actually worse for me since whoever did the sound did not give it the loving care that Battlefront 1 got. Cards are stupid. Average lifetime is probably worse the CoD. Graphics are on par and not that much better than the previous version. This game, for 3500 bucks is a rip-off even without the stupid lootbox/microtransaction controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Average score is now under BF1 on both Metacritic (PS4 version) and Opencritic. What a shitshow EA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Star Wars Battlefront loot boxes were originally just cosmetics, Lucasfilm requested for Star Cards During the development of Star Wars: Battlefront II (read our review), developer DICE began work on a mode that played like Overwatch and featured a similar business model to Blizzard’s team-based hero shooter, according to sources familiar with the production (who asked that I not print their names or titles to protect their employment). The mode would have focused on teamwork and squad composition, and — more importantly — it would have favored cosmetic items like hero costumes in its loot boxes over perks and weapons. Most of these ideas were dropped from Battlefront II due, at least in part, to a request from Disney’s Star Wars division Lucasfilm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney doesn't want cosmetics and EA offered an alternative, which is Star Cards and Disney was okay with that. What else would you add? There is absolutely nothing you could sell via loot boxes.
