Nov 14, 2017PLS! ALL! Dont buy this game! If we continue to buy games for $ 60 with microtransactions, then it will only get worse
1/10 and 1 is only for the good game ruined by EA -

DO NOT BUY. -
Nov 14, 2017Thank you EA for the Microtransactions. Thank you for people as me with Job, Uni or Family we need to play so many hours to achieve for what we have paid for. Thank you for let the least the 1 % of people who are spending thousand of money to destroy games what the rest of 99% is really want to enjoy. The force may be with you EA.
-
Nov 14, 2017DICE did a pretty good job with the game in overall.
But what EA does continuously, it's unforgivable! Don't buy their games!
My rating goes for EA. Maybe 1/10 is way too generous towards them.
And yes, they changed a few things because the community forced them to, but don't stop there! We can unite to destroy this current cancerous AAA gaming industry.
BOYCOTT EA! -
Nov 14, 2017Pay2Win is an absolute deal killer for me no matter how small the microtransaction. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this release for awhile. Definitely will not waste my money or time encouraging this sort of gaming design. It's nauseating.

Nov 14, 2017Is it pay 2 win with 60$ price? Sure! U will need hours and hours and hours of grind to be somewhat competitive. Or donate ~150$ on top of that 60 that U' ve already paid.
As for SP campaign, it is ~5 hours long and all plot twists are as predictable as they can be. It is also so repetitive that U can complete Luke mission using only left mouse button and dont pressing any other keys. -

Nov 14, 2017You done f'd it up ! This is really getting out of hand. You rich ? You win ! Congrats EA. Well done. I told it before but now I'm dead serious : this was my last EA game. Ever ! I'll go to the attic to find my Sega Mega Drive back. I'm fed up with this sh*t.
-
Nov 14, 2017EA всегда была корпорацией зла. Зная DICE , они не хотели вводить систему PAY TO WIN, но издатель поступил так. Так что желаю ахуительных продаж этой игре, а ЕА гореть в аду.
-
Nov 15, 2017you're telling me the people that made this game are gamer's? They don't check other games reviews? I mean you would think EA would learn from WB games about the loot box problems they had with loot boxs...........just unbelievable money grab and a waste of what could of been a great game!!!!

Nov 14, 2017Pay to win, thx EA. I really love star wars, but if I have to pay to play for a Darth Vader, in the game for which I already paid $ 60, then I %@*# this game. #boycottEA
-
Nov 14, 2017Take me of this silly ride EA, I don't want to play with you anymore. Why do you try to turn what could be my next favourite game into FIFA. Please stop and walk away from Star Wars
-
Nov 14, 2017No, it's not a game. It's a pay-to-win piece of crap. No experience, no heroes, no weapons, no balance. Awfull EA marketing. DO NOT BUY IT, GAMERS!
0 / 10. -

Nov 14, 2017gamespot spent 100 $ and didn' even get half the credit needed for vader . . . .let that sink in . let's not forget that the game is pay2win . this game is a shallow painting for 80 $ as base to get a 3h compayn without even getting the main characters of the series (vader,princess,luke . . .. .)
-
Nov 14, 2017This whole mess of a pay-to-win system implemented by EA has officially ruined what could have been a great game. The story is interesting and the gameplay is slick. This system needs to stop. And I hope this game will cause enough of a backlash for EA to take action.

Nov 14, 2017Absolutely trash. This isn't a game, it's an illegal gambling system that goes through enough loopholes just to slip past regulations in the U.S. This is ridiculous, and I think that a boycott is in order, and that Congress needs to investigate this matter. Games like Battlefront are literally encouraging kids (and adults) to gamble. Stay far away.
-
Nov 14, 2017First pay to win full price title. Would you buy chess if one player has no pawns and instead every major unit a second or even third time in his front row because of Microtransactions? Please don't support this greed and buy a used copy, if you are interested in the story.
-
Nov 14, 2017Game about donate, not star wars. EA should rename this into Donatefront II
Игра про донат, а не звездные войны. ЕА следует переименовать игру в Donatefront II -
Nov 14, 2017Visuals: Great
Sound Mechanics: Great
Gameplay: Decent, recycled EA shooter dynamic but it works
Micro-transactions that ruin gameplay? Terrible
Reasons why we shouldn't continue to support games that are created purely to pump money out of us? Numerous -
Nov 16, 2017Somewhere in here is a good game, but it is buried underneath one of the most predatory and awful micro-transaction systems that we have seen in gaming. As a community we really need to all speak out again this and make all the publishers aware that we will not tolerate these systems in our games.
-
Nov 14, 2017"EA" is an evil empire, which not only buys studios, and then closes them, but also destroys what was created over the years. but while gamers will buy lutboksy nothing will change, reports of publishers show that the profit from lutboks is more than from the sale of AAA projects, it is necessary to boycott all games with lootboxes from any studios
-
Nov 14, 2017Old money grabbing EA is back at it taking candy from kids with money for Micro transactions. I see why everyone hates this company their just like Gamestop all ways ripping people off. These types of companies need to be boycotted just like Need for Speed has the same BS. POS EA you will not get a dollar out of me.
-
Nov 14, 2017The intent is to provide the players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for successfully spending more money to buy loot boxes. EA has really done it in this one. Please spread the word of the terrible practices that they are trying to get away with.
-
Nov 14, 20179 hours per Star Card,approximately £2,300 or 6 months of near continuous playing to get all of the content you already paid for.
Save your money, get the original, non-EA version. -
Nov 14, 2017Pay to pay is not a platform any developer should be going with. This is indefensible. Please do not support these kind of developers. If we don't show them that we do not agree with these business practices, games like these will become commonplace in due time.
-

Nov 14, 2017It has too much microtransactions and you have a daily limit of 500 points, and to a character like luke skywalker, you need 60.000 points.
EA damn -
Nov 14, 2017Appalling, predatory casino mechanics conditioning children to gamble. Seriously: egregious, cynical dreck. Do not support this travesty if you value the industry or have a sense of social responsibility.

DO NOT BUY. -
Nov 14, 2017Well, the Gameplay is pretty great in MP but i dont get ppl who think its "ok" to have lootboxes in a 60$ Game. And Lootboxes is not a feature its ripping of the Fans and Player... but hey... its EA no one wonders anymore. Even with the drastic lowerin prices for the Heros its still a bold move to put in a P2W system in a full price game.
-
Nov 14, 2017I bought Lootbox, and I had a card with a score of "0".
Bought another one, and there is a card "Cancel pre-order"
And in the third chest had a card for "Pay to win not pass" -
Nov 16, 2017The developers of this game clearly have zero respect for the Battlefront community. Not only have they repeatedly shown that the entire multiplayer experience is just a money-grab, but the way that they're reacted to this whole controversy just proves that they see customers only for their wallets.
-
Nov 14, 2017Terrible way to halt player progression which leads to some feeling the need to buy loot boxes. It's a form of gambling and should be kept out of all games, period.
-
Nov 14, 2017Microtransactions are a feature we must not allow to appear in any games from now on. There is no valid justification for them, at least not for a full priced AAA game like this. Period.
-
Nov 14, 2017Loot box infested cesspit. P2W PVP in a premium AAA game. Progress by prayer to RNGjesus. The year of the loot box continues to bring us lulz.
Support honest game publishers. -
Nov 14, 2017Oh yeah. Another EA "masterpiece" with super high price and riddled with P2W elements. For the love of Force i don't want to spend 60$ to buy the game and then another 60$ just to be able to compete or play with characters that I cherish and like. Don't buy this money grab. Just don't. It's EA that's should sum it up just fine.

Nov 14, 2017this game is a joke a disaster ea should be ashamed they've hit a new low the level of desperation is unbelievable the game is terrible not to mention you have to pay for everything it's utter trash i hope ea get bankrupt
-
Nov 15, 2017The worst case of monetization for a Full Price AAA game so far. EA's pay to win forced-down-your-throat game design ruined the creatives' approach. Not even the best PR in the world could change that. Let's vote with our wallets!
-
Nov 14, 2017Microtransactions everywhere! This Fee-to-pay bs does not belong in a full priced game release. Never returned a game so fast. If they take out the scummy insidious system that wants more money after you've already bought the game, then I'll come back.
-
Nov 15, 2017This game is a covered F2P with P2W sells as AAA for 59.99.
If you don't believe me just check videos of how players which donated own players which are just play the game as always. -

You keep killing good developer studios, you killed DEAD SPACE you killed MASS EFFECT. Don't you have enough? -
Nov 14, 2017The game is ruined by a greedy pay 2 win progression system. Save your money and dont support this horrible game. EA needs to learn to respect players.

Nov 14, 2017maybe the game itself is good. i really enjoyed space combat in beta. however this progression system is a pay2win in a nutshell. ea almost forces you to donate more money. lootboxes are ok if they only add new skins and other customization options but not when they are the only way to gain new weapons and cards.
-
Nov 14, 2017Micropayments are the death of industry. and this game is the indicator of this promotion, I hate EA.I hate this solution , but in singlplayer i was play

Nov 14, 2017I think it’s great that EA let me pay $99 for their game and then give me the opportunity to buy all the locked heroes for $100’s more, and this is called “gaming”.

Nov 14, 2017Want a funny story. Because of the high prices for characters and other crap in Star wars Batttlefront 2, players began to cancel pre-orders, which the press approved and recommended that everyone do it. What EA has done is simply the best marketing move in the history of the game industry.
lootbox evil -
Nov 9, 2019I didn't like the game. Very crude and not an interesting the plot. (Although the idea is good)
Maps in multiplayer are broken. Horrible level design -

Nov 16, 2017The game isn't actually a 2/10 it's more like a 7-8 but we as a community cannot let developers treat us like this. I have always been against micro-transactions and i was looking forward to this game, but after seeing the way they implemented the microtransactions i cannot in good faith recommend this game
-
Nov 21, 2017

Nov 14, 2017Yes, the main problems are lootboxes and the publisher's attitude to the audience. But besides this, there are shortcomings and problems. This balanas classes, weapons, maps. Gunplay is weak.
-

Nov 14, 2017its a shame what EA done to this franchise!! the only purpose of this game its to pay and pay until you have it all!! what is the fun about that??? and come on!! a four hour campaign, its seem like they just put it there because they where force to do it, even so they do a terrific job, they are just lazy and use the same graffic motor for al the games, plausible, and the multiplayer sucks!
-
Nov 14, 2017Microtransactions killed the game. Unfortunately the EA policies can't be accepted. Multiplayer should be fair, not just for rich kids ..... Pay2win should n't be allowed in any game
-
Nov 14, 2017An absolute travesty of loot box ridden p2w cr@p.
A FULL PRICED game with a f2p gambling upgrade system slapped into it, literally gaming cancer that should be avoided at all costs.
The corrupt "critic" reviewers should hang their heads in shame over giving this pos anything higher than a 3, they are letting the public down by not acknowledging what BS this is. -

-
Nov 14, 2017I can't really add much more to what has already been said by other users. This pay to win approach sucks and is a disgraceful way to treat consumers, but it's EA after all. What else are we to expect?
-
Nov 14, 2017If they were smart they'd offer skins to turn Marry Sue into Jaina Solo, Darth Itachi into Revan and find a character for Kyle Katarn. I'd pay good money for those instead of this pay to win system.

Playstation Official Magazine UKFeb 6, 2018Excellent online action offers hours of Stormtooper-shooting fun, but the so-so campaign stumbles, while cynical loot crates leave a sour taste. [Jan 2017, p.83]
-
Jan 21, 2018Star Wars Battlefront II provides a greater ambition than the previous installment. It has powerful war scenes, a brand new single player mode, and shows a much more magnificent Star Wars Universe. But just like the Jedi should be ware of the dark side of the Force, this game also meets some similar situations, such as beleaguered microtransaction elements and character growth problems. The first 10 hours of this game is full of surprises; however, the further you play this game, the more disappointed you will get.

Dec 29, 2017Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
