    Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PS4, Xbox One & PC)

    I may be in the minority, but I love this game. The beta didn't grab me really and honestly wasn't going to purchase, but I had forgotten I preordered it at Best Buy months and months ago lol and it came to by doorstep......at that point, I couldn't just not open it lol. I have been having a blast with it.

      Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PS4, Xbox One & PC)

      Mostly an offline guy and LOVE Star Wars. I played the heck out of the older Battlefronts back in the day and decided to give the last version on PS4 a quick round last night. Maybe all the expert players are off but I actually had a lot of fun with it. Just wish it had more of an arcade/bot mode for me to just chill with for a while and teach my son (6) with. Is the latest version good enough in those regards to take the plunge?

            I'm down for BB CGU but I don't have that if that's some type of membership thing.

            Nah, I'm not gonna rb it, Ima buy it outright. A good rl friend picked it up and wants me to run with him.

              Yeah, its a membership thing there. Not sure you will find any cheap deals on it since its after release and release was this past Friday. Maybe Craigslist, but the 10 bucks you may save on there isn't worth the hassle or threat of running into Buffalo Bob.

                    I am a sucker for the steelbooks! lol! I have everyone of MLB The Shows so far, but with Best Buys GCU they usually are only a few dollars higher than the regular $60.00 game.

                      I am enjoying the game so far but I rarely play MP games and I have to say I totally suck at this game. I can't even get enough kills to every play a hero. And Just get taken out constantly on Galactic Assault.

                      Starfighter was much more fun as I feel like I am contributing but not sure what to do on Galactic. Guys sneak up on me. and I constantly miss guys.

                      Also not sure how much this has to do with Star Cards but I feel like I am just shooting forever and can't take guys out and I get hit twice and I am down. I am either missing constantly or there defenses are just so much better.

                      I will add that I played with a friend who started the campaign and he though it was too easy. I on the other hand and getting pummeled on that as well. Good times.

                      All in all I am enjoying the game though. It's fun.

                        Well, you're not alone (from Forbes review https://www.forbes.com/sites/games/2...4d799ff86e3a):

                        "Everything you do in the game earns you these points, and you can cash them in for a vehicle, an improved trooper or a hero at your next respawn. It means that not only will weaker players never get to use the exciting characters from Star Wars that they bought the game for, and it also ensures that the heroes bouncing around a game killing everyone will inevitably be controlled by the strongest players in the match. It's already frustrating when you, a lowly Assault Trooper, get cut to ribbons by a tiny little Yoda ripping through you and your allies. It's even more frustrating when it happens constantly for minutes at a time because the player on the other end has plenty of both practice and skill, and you don't stand a chance under any circumstances. And it's ultimately the most frustrating when you know you'll never get the chance to return the favor.

                        This is even true of lower level Wookie Warriors and Rocket Troopers, which have a way of dominating the smaller-scale strike mode. If you find yourself up against one as a standard trooper, you'll most likely just die unless you manage some impressive moves, and if you could manage said moves you probably wouldn't be stuck as a standard trooper anyways."


                        Good read (as far as reviews go). I'd recommend it.

                            Don't you get points when you die that can go towards getting the special characters?

                            Also, I do think the reviewer makes a lot of good points. I'm not very good at the game and I will probably never get enough points to unlock a "Hero." And with the slow progressions and no guarantee of being able to upgrade my weapons or defenses anytime soon, I am now considering not even opening my copy that is sitting next to my TV.

                            I did rent the game and had a bit of fun. I found that the officer class was easiest for me to get kills. Maybe averaging 3-5 a game, but if that's all I can manage then I think I will just get frustrated and stop playing it. So I'm starting to think about just returning it and getting something else, which sucks, because I'm a huge Star Wars guy.

                              Just curious, but as a part time gamer is it worth it to you to spend $150 on a video game?

                              The Forbes review is consistent with many others I've seen. I've never understood why there are FPS games which provide huge advantages to the best players.

                              The one thing I will say to anyone getting frustrated, the system may balance itself out once more people have some hours under the belt. I'm just assuming that the system tries to match similar skilled players, and at the launch of a game like that everyone is kind of thrown together. Of course I've seen a number of complaints about the system already, but theoretically that's how it works in other games.
