Because all they needed to do was instal the patch that came out just a few days after the game. It runs just fine and is a great inovation in gaming with amazing graphics, great voice acting, and the smartest AI anyone has yet seen. It's sad to see that when some one comes out with a good game it gets shot down because reviewers can't wait/look for a verry speedy patch. The game is realy verry fun with a lot of replayability and crazy force powers. If you can't stand a game thats not a FPS or RPG then this isn't for you. But if you like Star Wars, good acting, and inovation. Then this is your game. May the force be with you and all that Jazz.… Expand

It's oneSo I revisited this game on the PC, since it was fun to play on the PS3 when it came out and because of my star wars marathon month. It's one of the better Star Wars games out there. I can't compare it to the Fallen Order game, since I haven't played it yet...The story is a very interesting one,although non canon and if you play the game,you'll see why. The 9 hour duration of the story tops,without the dlc missions is ok and it sees you going through some familiar and some new planets. I really like the mission where you visit the Jedi Temple(dlc though). The combat is a bit on the button mashing side of things, but you never feel like Starkiller(the protagonist) is out of your control. Don't know why people hate it so much,but I had fun revisiting it and it held up pretty good...… Expand

This game brought out all the excitement I could get from one of the movies and then some. The levels had arguably the best openings ever. And that's because they start how every movie starts out. With the cyan colored sentence, and then boom. The roaring theme with the rising text. One of the best DLCs I've ever played.… Expand

   Сложно назвать это, "игрой" - это скорей испытание на прочность ваших нервов, усидчивости и выносливости к омерзительному управлению,Сложно назвать это, "игрой" - это скорей испытание на прочность ваших нервов, усидчивости и выносливости к омерзительному управлению, оптимизации которая выливается в ужасную сложность. Проблемы не в маленьком количестве кадров, подвисаниях или лагов, а в том, что невозможно играть на клавиатуре и мыши как изначально планировалось, обязательно нужно искать геймпад или без него камера будет ввести себя непредсказуемо и подтормаживать, да и с геймпадом играть будет невозможно. Игра очень сильно искусственно растянута, много повторяющихся мини-боссов, также врагов на уровне запредельное количество. Дизайн уровней, локации, окружения свалок и помоек на первых уровнях которых вам предстоит побывать - убивает всяческий интерес, сделаны настолько однообразно и скучно, что хочется закончить игру сразу же. По мере прохождения игры вы увидите много различных боссов и все они убиваются закликиванием одном кнопки геймпада, если приловчится. Если какие-то положительные вещи вы для себя подчеркнули в этой игре то ближе к концу вы о них забудете. Только в этой игре вы встретите самого сложного босса в истории видеоигр "Звёздный разрушитель" который разрушит вашу задницу целиком и полностью, наверное единственная уникальная своей неадекватной сложностью миссия которую можно сравнить с попаданием в чистилище где вы проведете целую вечность, (около 25 мин) что бы убить этого босса. Сложные игры - это интересно, но не в том случае когда анимация и управление деревянные. Единственная вещь ради которой стоит играть по моему мнению - это сюжет и кинематографичные катсцены, можно также накинуть 1 балл за лорда Вейдера.… Expand

   This game is pretty damn bad. Considering this is a supposed ultimate edition with all of the patches and improved visuals, its shortcomingsThis game is pretty damn bad. Considering this is a supposed ultimate edition with all of the patches and improved visuals, its shortcomings are even more glaring...
   
   I will start with plot, writing and characters first: Its bad - all of it. It has some twists, but you see them from the very beginning, considering A) the game takes place between episodes 3 and 4, meaning you know the past and the future and B) it is very apparent the main protagonist is dumb, really really dumb. The MC is absolutely oblivious to anything and more naive than a sheltered 3 year old...
   
   The plot also jumps around a lot and feels rushed, you go from playing for team A to team B so fast the EA SW Battlefront 2 change feels like an intricate storyline. This also makes the interactions and relationship development between characters feel unrealistic as well as a lot of it is "behind the scenes" and you are often just told/shown the result. There are a lot of plot conveniences, or plot armor, if you will, as well.
   
   The gameplay is frustrating. The combat, movement, and force powers feels pretty good, untill you actually have to use them in combat. The hints and prompts will tell you about these amazing combos which will help you destroy your enemies, but the game fails to recognise most of the combos when performing them, and those few that can be performed consistently are only good for a couple enemies and completely useless against bosses. I decided to just cheese it and spam lighting at everything / everyone. It was boring, but at least semi-consistent and had decent effectivity.
   
   That brings us to enemy variety - considering the vastness of SW universe, it's pretty poor. On paper, there is about 25-30 different enemies excluding bosses, but in reality, when you check their animations and damage they do, it is really about 10-12 as pretty much every basic enemy has a reskinned version for other faction, perhaps the only exception being the AT-ST walker - which brings me to the other issues with the combat, it's inconsistent. AT-ST will not take damage during some animations, but other times it will, some enemies are similar - you will interrupt their attacks sometimes, but othertimes, they will plow right trhough your lightsaber slashes. Same goes for you - sometimes you will be stunlocked to oblivion, other times you will shrug everything off. You can never really tell what will happen when you make a hit, or get hit, and considering the combat style in the game, that is really really frustrating.
   
   The AI does not exist. Enemies will rush into the room, and just stay pretty much glued to their positions in case of long range enemies, or fight you 1 on 1 in case of melee, with a few exceptions. The game tries to implement some simple environmental puzzles, but all they do, is just show how bad the AI is, as you watch it stumble around the traps set for the MC and fail hilariously. The game also does something I really hate - it spams mini-bosses after the initial encounter - and without much thought either. Its like the devs realised they did not have enough enemy variety at the end of the dev cycle, and so they just copy pasted the previous mini-bosses around later stages.
   
   Environmental design is also pretty bad, but I guess it has to be, given the poor AI. The game is very linear, the environment does look more open than it actually is - the use of invisible walls and ice surfaces that make you slide back is just tragically hilarious by the end - there are more invisible walls in one stage of this game than the last four games I played put together... Visually, they look good though - at least the first time you visit them. This game has 7-ish places you visit, but they use only 3 asset sets - imperial space station, jungle and ship graveyard. The DLCs have some additional new environments, but honestly, its just more of the same crap gameplay wise, so why even bother? Also, movement in some places is really weir because the ground hitboxes aren't as precise as the textures / visual parts, so you will randomly get stuck in some places. This, combined with the many invisible walls, makes the couple platforming sections in the game very inconsistent and random.
   
   Sound is okay - when it works, which is does for the first half of the game, but breaks after that - music stops playing randomly, weapon sounds won't work, etc. It reuses, incorrectly and inappropriately, music from the movies.
   
   There are also some weird design choices as well, though I would say they are probably the result of time constraints because no-one sane would do this... There is no map, only a very constrained minimap. To see objectives, you have to pause game and go to menu. Changing visuals cannot be done before mission, only during, and will reset you to previous checkpoint if you do it in the middle instead of right after loading in, and so on.… Expand
