Star Wars Battlefront 3

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

The only reason people are playing is because its star wars at this point. It's very redundant and repetetive, while fun for a minute, the longevity is very shallow. You probably wouldn't even be playing if this was any other game because this would be unacceptable.

To be so lazy as to get rid of the campaign was the worst decision for this game. I know its 40 bucks now but I won't even buy it for that price.

Its just hard to fathom that from the shallow content to the unbalanced gameplay etc was all intentional from the beginning.

You can't see get rid of the campaign because Battlefront never once had a campaign.

Why the whole campaign aspect is even talked about with this game doesn't make sense. Battlefront was never about campaign

It should have included a campaign from the get-go.

I still remember playing through Battlefront 2's campaign with the awesome climax on Hoth.

It's apparent that it needs one badly. I think titanfall made the same mistake and people abandoned that game fairly quickly.

Star Wars itself is a story, so I have no idea why you'd not want one.... but that's only one aspect of the game that's an issue.

Yeah, this game needs content. I got it for free from GameStop near launch and haven't played it in weeks. I just don't have the desire to touch it. At least Titanfall had a decent map selection. When that game launched I thought there should have been more maps since it's an MP only experience. Playing a four map rotation in this game is just ridiculous.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

So the consensus is this one is nothing more than an EA cash grab to parallel the movie release. My assumption was that the bare minimum was put into this game to get it out before the movie.

I'm not too keen on the game's development details, but did they have plans for a campaign originally? I don't know either way, but would have loved to have one.

I agree with everything you mention in your post 23. I think I stated a few pages back that I have a love/hate relationship with this game.

There are a lot of areas that I thought or at least had hoped would be addressed in a title update, but this recent one seems to not only be pushed out with no real lead up or notice, but in addition it seemed to be released with just about no input from the community. Unbalanced weapons, puzzling spawn points, lopsided factions, odd squad/party join system, just to name a few.

I guess I just had high hopes on post-launch support with how well EA DICE has done with Battlefield.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

Battlefield was a complete broken mess at release on and offline. Took tons of patches to fix that game.

Like i said its tolerable here only because it has a star wars skin on it

I think that's exactly what it was. The Star Wars IP is always going to sell, so EA really didn't have to put in much effort to begin with. I think part of the deal with this game was to appease Disney and get the game out right around the release of the movie, and in a sense that drives sales for both. Essentially cross-platform marketing.

I do worry about longevity as I think the game has its moments and certainly can be fun, it is great to look at, has the "Star Wars" atmosphere in spades. Of course once enough people leave, the game will go dormant until Battlefront 2 (if there is one).

The EA exclusivity of this license also worries me a tad for the future. With a ton of Star Wars movies coming out in the next few years, they may be churning out new product faster than they can complete it.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

I think a big a big misstep was charging 60 for a game that is essentially incomplete and then 50 more (correct me if I'm wrong) for content that frankly should have been included off the jump.

What sucks is I enjoy playing the game for a few matches day to day. I almost feel guilty. There is definitely some fun mechanics and cool things about the game. It's just such a step back, content wise, from what what we've played before.

I just hope the population remains at least decent for awhile. I have no interest in playing against bots

How well has this game sold? Does EA have incentive to do it better for a sequel or did they make enough money justify sticking to their guns

I don't take issue with someone arguing for single player, but I don't see an exact correlation between a game being abandoned early for not having one. Wouldn't having one just mean you play the single player and move on anyway?

The game's lack of actual multiplayer stuff still seems like such a bigger issue because it's still what would keep people around in the long run. That's where I would say the same thing happened with Titanfall, though I played Titanfall for many months and have already sort of stopped playing Star Wars.

Titanfall made the mistake of sucking. This game, for what it is, doesn't suck like Titanfall.

But yeah, lack of content hurts. I want more maps. There are lots of game modes, but maps are needed. And not one huge map that they cut up into 3-4 smaller maps and then call those smaller maps new maps. Those aren't new maps.

Lost my long post...

Well anyway

Planned lack of content
No SP so yeah some time would be logged there before even getting to MP
It just makes the game all around shallow and at full price continues to make me look at EA as if they dont care about anything but $$$$$$$$$

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

One thing that makes me mad is we cant even be Chewbacca yet, and when playing Fighter squadron there are 2 fighter types per team when there's a ton more of ships that could be used. Moves like this are the ones which scream held back content for season pass revenue.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

Weird to see all this negativity towards the game. It's probably the 2nd best game I've played this year, loving every second of it, and worth every penny.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3

I love playing the game too but these are valid points.

Fighter squadron could incorporate multiplayer elements that go deeper than protecting an imperial shuttle or rebel transport. They could incorporate bombing runs where the player can pilot a y-wing or TIE bomber while other team mates/opponents either protect the bombers or shoot them down. There should be b-wings in this game. Darth Vader's TIE. And that's not even thinking of all the prequel content that translated very well to the video game medium (despite one's opinion of the films themselves).

A lot of missed opportunities here. And even if it was a rushed schedule to get the game to market, the content to get caught up shouldn't cost so much (if anything at all).

That's what makes the Free Radical footage from their BF game so frustrating. That's the game this should have been. I'd be more than happy to go back to my 360 to be able to have that game. That game wasn't even finished and it was far deeper than this game is. And I love it that people are posting footage from that game to the EA/DIce FB Battlefront page.
