I Finally Played the Battlefront 2 Campaign

[@vrojak7636]

I actually liked the campaign initially, seeing the aftermath of ep6 unfold from an imperial POV was new to me. But after they switched sides (why????? just let me be evil >:( ) it all kinda felt the same.

[@Darkfire7881]

I would have been ok with the switch in loyalty if they did it better. Have it be more of a struggle for her to decide or have existing conflicting emotions. Instead she just sort of decided the Empire was bad and switched Alternatively they could have copied from the original BF2 and had her stay with the Empire but me more resentful about in. In the Original you play a clone trooper who becomes a Storm trooper, and while they fight for the Empire they reflect how they don't feel great about it

[@ryon5174]

One thing that always bothered me is why is it that only now she decided to switch sides - if I’m correct, the memory level made it imply that Inferno saw action in Scarif, meaning they likely saw the Death Star blow up Jedha, that one portion of Scarif, and might have went on to witness the events of ANH and ESB prior to the ROTJ events here Being special forces and all you’d think these three were conditioned enough to not care about the stuff happening but it always baffles me how a special forces group managed to defect somehow I was okay when Katarn did it (my memory is fuzzy, I also vaguely remember him being a former stormer), but characters like that one guy from Rebels, the Filoni Clone Troopers, and 2/3 of Inferno is eh

[@atomic747]

Because when it comes to big franchises people are scared to change things up. even though i'm sure everyone would love to play as the bad guys in star wars.

[@borger99]

@@Darkfire7881 The thing is, how can you have an objectively bad side, and not have everyone come to their senses? That's why it doesn't work for me. Either they all do or not. We know the empire is pure evil, so why switch now? It's lazy.

They saw the original Star Wars Battlefront allowed you to go from Clone on the side of the good guys to an awesome storm trooper till the battle of Hoth.

The campaign felt like a let down if you read the novel about inferno squad (i think that's their name) because you can see how Idem Versio was so loyal to the empire that seeing her turn to the rebels felt so "unnatural" and basically forced because you realize EA didn't wanted to waste more resources into a single player experience, god forbids, those loot boxes won't sell by themselves gotta invest in terrible collectibles and pay to win mechanics.

[@trianglemoebius]

The funny thing is: if the game was good, there'd be more reason to play it (and talk to your friends about how they should play it), meaning they would have ultimately sold MORE lootboxes. They were so concerned about not shooting themselves in the foot, they ended up shooting themselves in the hand instead.
