"Play iconic heroes, if you can afford the f*ckers." I lost it!

[@bobbywhite1645]

I'm a Star Wars fan. I'm a middle aged man with a full time job and some disposable income. Almost all of my entertainment money is spent on gaming, and I've been an avid gamer my whole life. Let me tell you I wouldn't buy this if they paid me to play it. Mack is absolutely right, this is the moment. This is where they will decide if they can sell us everything from XP to items to levels and everything else. This is where we decide the fate of modern day gaming and how they monetize it, right here with EA right now. Please don't fall for this. Don't let this happen. Every publisher is watching this and deciding if they can do it too. Be a good person and don't let them do this to the industry. We can still save it, but we have to hold the line right here right now and show them all that this is too far, and we're not buying it.

[@jstapo8591]

Bobby White well said sir,sick of this bullshit!!!!

[@inputfunny]

Well said. This needs to end yesterday.

[@bricktop.]

Bobby White I'm right with you m8, once my mortgage and bills are paid each month, the kids are fed and clothed and the cars filled with petrol, my disposable income generally goes on games. I'm not being a part of this any longer. Fuck them. IV been gaming g since 1985 and seen alot of shady shit over the years but right now is the worst it's ever been, and this is just the beginning. Gamings gone to shit. You're right, we MUST hold the line. All of us.

[@Chapterhouse86]

Thank god other people my age feel the same way I do. I miss waiting for actual good games to be released, not fearing how awful the next triple A dumpster fire is going to be, and how bad it will affect the state of gaming as a whole. I pray people decide to say fuck you EA, we dont want your fucking dogshit if you're going to make such an obvious cash grab. Until people who give a fuck about us. and about gaming are in charge again, we are fucked.

[@Webshooters1]

To quote Picard: "The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!"

[@edorn9972]

COD WW2: Hey I'm ruining the industry. SW BF2: Hold my bucket of shit.

[@sunpra1s3r]

CoD WW2 is not that bad though. Sure it is some flaws, but they actually tried making a good campaign, and so far the supply drop system is only cosmetic and can be gained easily. The only bad thing right now i can think of is the map packs, which is a bit old school. I'm sure they will stop using it next year.

[@edorn9972]

No Marcus the drops include weapons and weapons attachment as well as abilities. Edit: COD WW2 boxes are cosmetic, thank you for pointing it out Marcus.

[@sunpra1s3r]

Weapon skins and weapon attachment skins yes. Dude have you even played the game? Some skins alter the guns appearance, yes, but it does not change the weapons stats.

[@edorn9972]

I haven't purchased it, no. I based my previous post on reviews but obviously I got it wrong and I'll fix it. I still think making loot boxes an actual social feature is pretty gross but you are correct, it seems its only cosmetics for now.

[@afk3957]

Ido N. Cod ww2 is actually quite fun

[@LaggyKikee]

Think about it. So many Artists, Modellers, Coders, putting their heart and soul for a full year into this game. They have a fixed salary, they couldn't care less about microtransactions. All they want, is to make an amazing game. Then the reality kicks in and the shareholders, who probably don't even like games anyway, want their money, so they just hijack the game and completely ruin it. It's very, very sad.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Yeah and some bellends give them death threats :S

[@captainbeefheart6744]

That dev who received death threats was a fake.

[@ihatecabbage7270]

Worth A Buy BigSean66 is not part of the development team. Those death threats were fabricated.

[@systemofafox6487]

Greedy raw corporatism has infected the gaming industry.

[@TR0_V3R]

Publishers are the ones who include these things to be bought in the first place you fucking idiot.

[@winns35]

No a corporation that is publicly traded has the ethical responsibility to make their shareholders as much money as possible as long as it is legal. The gamers are 100% at fault. It's been years building up to this and we just let it happen. Take responsibility for once. If you don't then this is going to keep happening because you're going to keep blaming them and buying the crap saying oh well they are going to do it anyway. No if we hit them in the pocket books the shareholders are going to be pissed and they'll change their ways.

[@rudy_4ier]

Trevor Ryan Because they're a business. I'm a shareholder in some of these companies so I'm part of this "corporate greed" and I've no compunction making money off gamers who are willing to pay. If not enough gamers are willing enough to spend the money for it to be profitable, the business model fails, and management will not pursue it. But reality is that so many gamers are willing to pay so much. The profit exists, and it doesn't matter who the shareholders are. The fewer of the shareholders there are, the larger share of the profit they get. I've joined in and made a significant amount of money by doing nothing, and just let those gamers fill my pockets willingly.

[@IdiomsNTime]

don't buy the games and they'll stop

[@winns35]

chuhrros exactly and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Nobody forcing people to buy this stuff. It's making a lot of people a good amount of money and being able to provide for their families. I don't like the business model but it's working and gamers are allowing it to happen.

[@michaelkreitzer1369]

One thing that really bugs me is the insane talent of the artists behind these things. It's such an incredible waste that these peoples talents are marred by this insanity.

[@keithbeef]

you're right, it looks amazing. So sad those guys are being overshadowed by the EA money grab.

[@7dayspking]

The artists are nice, don't know about any other facet of this game. It's smooth but souless, nothing ground breaking here...just another 2001 shooter reskin.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

Unfortuantely, the best people left the industry a long time ago. Before greed took over.

[@Vidler13]

Publishers v Developers unfortunately

[@awc80]

Very true, the graphics looks awesome, kinda like the first one. But then again a pretty face is only entertaining for so long. Sorry all you trophy wives out there :p

[@JohnSmith-wj2wd]

What's ironic is that EA does these practices to get more money out of this game. Yet, if they had just released the game without this nonsense, the popularity would have made it a massive hit, probably earning them not only tons more money, but a credible reputation also.

[@captainbeefheart6744]

Greed.

[@danielcuckler2743]

They wouldnt earn more money, these kinds of microtransactions make 10 times what the actual sales of the games do.

[@KirkHammer-fj2of]

If you love gaming, you should hate this

[@pomopomo7747]

Every purchase of this game is a shit on the gaming industry. Do not support these devs, do not support this business practice.

[@bigceasar7324]

you're a moron!

[@rushabhpatel2863]

Problems with EA not DICE

[@ultrabrian8151]

Jezz the game is not that bad but EA being greedy with micro transactions is just bad.

[@rushabhpatel2863]

Yea I know, I'm buying it because DICE did a freaking amazing job but I just wanted to hear from someone else if they experienced something in the game that would be off putting or game breaking. i don't mind the microstranscitions that much but I just wanted to know more details about the game. The graphics are amazing and I had a blast playing the beta and I can't wait until friday to hop on and destroy some clanckers.

[@assassinscreedforlife9413]

Rush Man you are fucking dumb

[@OhThatsMal]

When this video popped up on my notifications I couldn't stop laughing because I knew what slaughtering Mack was gunna give it 😂

[@TauthebiceGaming]

to be fair tho he hasnt really liked a modern game in quite some time.

[@timothybridges8647]

Tau the bice Gaming that's completely incorrect. Prey was one of the best games in a long time for example...

[@TjW.]

to be fair, a lot of modern games have been complete shit.

[@ShagadelicBY]

On backside of the physical copy of the game it reads: *👎/10 Technically died of boredom. - Mack Mackerson. WAB*

[@bailsaz]

Fragadelic underrated Comment

[@j_tw8880]

But BF2 is great!! The one from 2005!

[@Android811]

BF2 is where the franchise turned to shit! Before that, (bf1942, bfv) there was no leveling up. There was no stat tracking. Just good team based play. Nobody gave a shit who finished on top of the leader board, all that mattered was which team won the round. Leveling up has no place in multiplayer games. It belongs in single player games only! All it does is make it impossible for new players to compete. They already have the disadvantage of being new ffs!

[@j_tw8880]

Android811 hey I’m talking about Star Wars battlefront 2 in my comment. Sounds like you are talking about battlefield?

[@Android811]

You're correct, I was talking about BF2 not SWBF2. My point still stands though.

[@j_tw8880]

Android811 didnt say u were wrong man!

[@rogueraven1333]

Ya the star wars bf2 from 2005 was great go play it Disney reopened it's servers

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Summary: As a huge Star Wars fan and a huge gamer it's a sad day when I see a Star Wars game that looks as amazing as this game does be hijacked by greedy suits. I am totally gutted that I still don't have a modern Star Wars game that is amazing to play. On the plus side I am proud that so many thousands of gamers have taken a stand against this bullshit, you can see EA in total panic, they are like a headless chicken at the moment. People power works and we need to enforce this, we pay their wages and we should demand better than this game delivers. Sure there will be sell outs and apologists defending this game but hopefully they will be the minority, if not then gaming is doomed. It's not just the greedy business practice that is wrong with this game, it's the game itself, sure it's better and bigger than the 2015 SWBF but that's hardly an achievement. This game lacks any soul, the story is terrible and the combat is obscenely easy all the way to the 5 hour anticlimactic ending. Multiplayer is just a huge pew pew fest on most maps with only 2 or 3 allowing for any form of group tactics. Yes it's fun at times on those maps but it's not enough to justify the price. Space multiplayer is a good laugh, nice slick controls and amazing sounds but again it's just not enough. I paid £65 to review this early, I got a pay wall of micro transactions as a reward, I still have not unlocked most of the hero classes but I did get 4 weapons that do twice as much damage as the weapons everyone will be getting on Friday, it's p2w garbage.

[@trbotimmmmmmmeh]

inb4 triggered fanboys

[@SkyeTheNerd]

Its Turbo Time Timbo Slice I'm a Huge Huge Starwars Fanboy... but nobody ls defending this, especially Starwars fans!! At least I hope not, this is Bullshit how this game came out and what EA has done.

[@djtoxicdhg]

[@oranicryoz4135]

Hi i'm worth a buy I mean a reply

[@theb9031]

£65 Mann is it to late to refund mac? Write a angry email and push them for your money back Everyone should boycott this shit

[@bomma47]

Already know this is gonna be thumbs down what the fuck happened to gaming

[@satnav1980]

Nobody Legit we did

[@MrNicoJac]

Capitalism, the crony kind

[@gauntlet8026]

MrNicoJac These are one of the reasons IP laws are illogical. It creates an artificial limited supply of Star Wars games, where if they didn't exist people could make games that don't have these shitty practices under the same name, which would voluntarily force the multi-billion dollar companies to put an end to them.

[@borkybork2749]

satnav1980 I will not be associated with the idiots that keep paying for this year after year

[@deanwilson354]

Issac Clark are we like the vocal minority? Cause I just saw that EA stock has gone up a ton since microtransactions started...

[@GeraltofRivia22]

EA is not panicking, they know exactly what they're doing. They go two steps too far so they can take one step back and say "Look, we're listening!" Despite the fact that they're pushing the frontier of shittinesss

[@WorthABuyreviews]

No they are in full panic, this game is getting bad press on BBC and other MSM outlets, this means shareholders now know it has major issues, that is why EA have made U turns this week on certain aspects of the progression system. It's also why they hosted a AMA on reddit last night

[@mancamiatipoola]

You called it Geralt. And that is exactly what they did. 2 years later they removed loot boxes and made some slight improvements to the game progression. The game is decent enough now, but it is 2 years too late. It is a good thing that some countries are starting to get alerted and are pushing laws against loot crates in video games which are a form of legal gambling. Finally we are seeing the gaming movement have some victories against the greedy corpos, but the damage is already done and they have been doing shady business practices for years. I have stopped supporting gaming corporations a long time ago, but a lot of these young people don;t know what good gaming was like in the 2000 - 2010 decade so all they have as a comparison is shitty AAA games from their era. Corporations are ruining things in all forms of entertainment and people who buy their shit are supporting them.

Even worse it’s pay to pay to win.

Oh no, a fine! I'm SURE that will show them >_>

[@mathias4060]

Nice attitude I'm sure you're a joy to be around and have many friends

[@psychoticmortacarn]

Good guess ;)

[@Zyrek1]

I've been a fan of Star Wars for a longer length of time than any other franchise (even beating out Nintendo, Sega, and Disney), and I am NOT buying this game in its current state. I bought the last one, and I was let down. This one appears to have took one step forward and several steps backwards. I'm taking it farther than that though. I'm not buying any more EA games unless they start respecting their player base. The only thing that makes them listen (EA, not necessarily DICE) is money, so I'm not giving them any more of mine until they do listen. #BOYCOTT EA/SW:BF2

[@rogueraven1333]

Xaelvik 1same except now I hate all starwars everything except legends (legends is the original 40 years worth of canon and lore that Disney flat out said never happened)

I haven't even gotten 5 seconds in and I'm so excited to hear Mack tear this piece of shit game to shreds

[@kornstargaming7245]

I'm new to his channel, but he certainly loves the word bullshit haha

[@TythelSapphire]

Be careful asking for a refund Mack. I asked for one when I stupidly pre-ordered the deluxe edition, that was a month and a half to two months ago, and I still haven't received ANY money, nor acknowledgement. My first thought was maybe they only dish out the refunds when the game is released, and adding to that, within 7-10 days, as I saw on the forums, so if I don't get it soon, I'm most likely going to have to follow up with customer support. Just a bit of a warning in case something similar happens to you, or anyone else looking to refund this piece of shit game.

[@TheSkogemann]

Report the transaction as a fraud if they wont refund you.

[@ras_krystafari3333]

Wow you kindove deserve thay for preordering. Learn your lesson. Good luck getting reFuNded out of it...

[@ferrit69]

How did you buy it? Credit card? Get onto your credit card company, chargeback = thanks for coming.

[@karl5133]

The Wolf Queen technically its kinda your fault, everyone kept saying "remember, no pre-orders" because of the shitty first battlefront game.

[@TythelSapphire]

No doubt in my mind it's my fault, ironically, I'm a firm believer in don't pre-order, yet I played the beta and got so drawn in, before all the backlash hit EA, so I chanced a pre-order, thinking I would enjoy the game, then once news came out about what EA was doing to the game, I instantly regretted my decision. Live and learn I suppose.

[@giorgigagua3034]

I think every time some shitty game comes out with a bullshit mechanic (like lootcrates), a lot of reviewers should give it 0/10 reviews no matter what the game is actually like so that the companies will be actually in danger of loosing money. (which is the only thing they care about)

[@xStarWarsFreakx]

since the big reviewing sites are paid by the companies to do good reviews, that'll never happen.

[@ocryptix7740]

When the original Battlefront 2 made a decade ago is significantly better than this one 😂... How does this happen?

[@Webshooters1]

EA happens.

[@ultrabrian8151]

Micro transactions ruined it and EA should focus on removing most of the micro transactions aspects of the game and EA shouldn’t be so greedy

[@Martin1jg]

Yes, 75% of people running around with bazooka or DET packs shooting at their own feet to kill you without hurting themselves is the shit, not... that is 2005 BFII

[@Fishplants]

[@probablyfear124]

[@StarContract]

Take 40$, sit in a nice expensive restaurant, tip 12$ and walk outside with an additional 8$. That's your reward for not buying this. Common sense = easy life.

[@Ztuber564]

Ilan Lakan so you're going to leave a 60% tip?

[@StarContract]

Gabe Randall 12/40 is 60%? Slow maths

[@Thetenmaumau]

naaaa ill just go for hookers and beers.

[@pretary1845]

Maths are hard..

[@tree_eats]

Tipping is the equivalent to microtransactions in the hospitality/restaurateur industry. You're both subsidising the business and encouraging to treat their employees like slaves. Get some fucking perspective. Also worth mentioning that a $40 at a nice expensive restaurant wouldn't get you an entree, let alone a main course.

[@Oravankarva]

This must be one of the worst and most toxic game i ever seen. Still im amazed and looking this game in disbelief how is it even possible this exists. How can people play this i really don't know. Incredible that a company has such a black soul to dear create something as low and disgust like this and actually demand money from it. Some people really goes low for money, thats soulless.

[@mig_zvm]

It would have been kinda funny if you made a middle finger graphic for the end, instead of the thumbs down.

[@matthewc171]

The sad reality is that we may never see another decent star wars game , this is infinite sadness to me . Thanks EA for ruining starwars for me .

[@snoflakekitten]

Gotta go tabletop for that nowadays.

[@pretary1845]

Umm, New World Interactive PR plug? I mean I agree, you're games are absolutely amazing, but this seems so random..

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

I had to unsubscribe from a couple of otherwise entertaining 'tubers that went at length to gloss over the pay-to-win factor while claiming that the game was very good overall. Completely incidentally they were both at the related EA event. I don't mean to say that any youtuber or streamer have to do more than entertain, but when the quality of the industry is at stake there needs to some clear lines drawn.

[@whoswhoful]

These idiots always surprise me. They manage to put their retarded cultism into anything. xD

[@flint33]

Hey Mack, not sure if you know this but after they reduced the price of Luke Skywalker and the like they also reduced the rewards you get for campaign missions and such so it will still take about the same amount of time to grind the characters out.

[@winns35]

Garth Flame this is false. Yes they lowered the amount for the campaign but it was lowered in conjunction for it's purpose. It's purpose was so you could purchase the hero you use in the single player. When the amounts were lowered they also lowered the reward so you could still have enough to buy exactly the hero from the campaign. Do some research. Yes this business practice sucks, yes I don't agree with it, but I also would like to hear and research facts.

[@Pwng]

winns35 ooh thats what its for. Didnt know that

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

It shouldn't have a price after paying [over] full price for the game..

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Yeah I saw they lowered the cash prize from 20k to 5k lol

[@williamlynch5972]

I work 12 hours days and don't have that much time to play, in two days I've unlocked 2 heroes. Although the system could use an overhaul, I don't think any players have an advantage over my level 0 character. I've had a blast playing but the matchmaking mechanics in place have kept me with similarly skilled and/or equipped characters the whole time.

[@Axess-sv8nq]

There are people actually DEFENDING $60 Pay-To-Win games like this. That's the part that disturbs me the most. I expect this kind of shite from EA. It's EA and I won't give them a penny. But, people who defend them? They're beyond the pale!

Darth Vader is also dead, you realize that right? Emperor Palpatine? Dead as fuck. Darth Maul? Remember what happened to him? Tossed him down a hole, till he died.. So that logic really doesn't hold up, and I'm assuming they'll be thrown in there as DLC, and 15k credits later you can play as em.

[@jdaza1987]

Keep slaying em Mac!

[@Chapterhouse86]

I pray that people will start showing these greedy fucking suits that we wont fucking stand for this shit. If they lose a shitload of money they will change how they do things. That is the only way to get through to these fuckers, money is the only thing they care about. They couldnt give two shits about giving us a fun, immersive and deep gaming experience. They want to use franchises like Star Wars to spark nostalgia in us so we buy them regardless of how shitty they are. The longer this goes on the worse it will be, and the harder it will be to change the system. Fuck DLC, fuck loot crates, fuck buying 1/2 of a game for $60. Thank god I have been a PC gamer since after the SNES, but i feel bad for the people who havent ever seen the release of an actual good game. End rant. I love you Mack, your channel is amazing and so are you. I will always trust your opinion because you cant be bought, and I love that about you.

[@j58688grgrs]

I love it when u say"is it worth buy?" I love the "ding" sound too. hehe

[@Axess-sv8nq]

Well, I ended up picking up the game because a close friend has it and wanted someone to play multi-player with that he knows. So, I played the multi-player with him and regretted it after not too long. The MATCHMAKING is total SHIT! They put new players in with people who are level 40+!! You can't even make a dent in them! You're just their target practice! HOW is that supposed to be fun?? After research, I found that horrible match-making and unbalanced teams are the norm now! WTF?!

[@maviardiv1749]

Great video Mack! You said in a previous video that you'd be reviewing Warframe and Dirty Bomb, Im really excited to see when those videos come out. Love ya Mack

[@FROSTB4NE]

What do you think of the Nintendo switch Mack ? As a PC gamer I’m actually thinking of picking one up for Christmas for games on the go such as Zelda and Mario and Mario kart to play at drinking sessions 😅

[@WorthABuyreviews]

I almost bought one but then I remembered Nintendo have a horrible relationship with youtubers.

[@therotundus410]

I'm sure they would love you, Mack ;)

[@blahblah7720]

IF you buy it,that mean you are against fan game, moder and pro content locked being gimmick object like amiibo.

[@aguajaneta]

Mario kart is repetitive as hell, i sold it long ago. Mario odyssey is vastly overated, nowhere near as good as galaxy or sunshine, its still one of the better mario games though. Botw on the otherhand makes the switch worth it.

And Thanks for saving my money by not spending it on this game.

Yea i didn't buy it, just don't pick it up guys. Having a new game is fun and all, but be honest, after a few hours the brand new sheen wears off and what are you left with?You have yet another multiplayer loot crate game... I think I'm taking a break from gaming til Monster Hunter World comes out for pc.

[@robynhighart2026]

I hate that it looks so good. I wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't basically the most visually authentic star wars thing ever. It's piss in the wound.

[@Maverick5588]

'the words of the greedy slimy developer' looool. i dont know why but that cracked me up. Love your videos, full of cheeky wit. Great stuff

[@chris58718]

This video.....man! I always watch you and in my opinion you're usually too critical but that's why I love your vids. I like to hear all ends of the spectrum and your style is incredible. Your rant starting at 10:03 "it's about principles..." through the "bell" at 11:05 is so incredibly well said and accurate. It's really quite motivational and should really be heard more. Do you have that typed out somewhere you should post it to twitter. Send it to me if you have it so I can post it around the internet. I will 100% give you credit and link to your channel. Personal note, I also also hopeful for a quality, modern, Star Wars Video game.

[@vareri7521]

Do you have a new bell? I like it, it is Christmasy

[@dev1Zed]

For me 2017 has been the worst year for gaming for as long as I can remember... Shame.

[@tallicay2k]

2018 - "Hold my Beer."

[@MrRadialdrift]

In 2017, BF2 has no team strategy, players aren't allowed to try different tactics to achieve the goal, and a large map is 20v20.

[@bigtimer5205]

radialdrift 20v20 is large 😂

[@XXxlightmarex]

At the end of the day EA isn’t some evil corporation, it’s just a company providing a service (loot boxes). If players didn’t buy loot boxes they wouldn’t give players the option to buy them. If a company is providing a service and people are paying for it you can’t get angry at the company for continuing to provide that service, it’s just business. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the players for buying the loot boxes in the first place.

[@YDINO69]

If EA wants me to pay For a free-to-play I'm heading to piratebay

[@rogueraven1333]

YDINO no you will be keeping the game a live didn't u pay attention at all PAY TO WIN even if u pirate it the people that pay for loot cards or dick juice or whatever they called it this time will just kick ur ass and and that's validation for them the games servers need to be empty so when a whale ( person who spends 1000's on micro transactions ) joins a lobby they are alone no one to kill no reason to play

[@Oravankarva]

Such a simple game and they managed to made it so complicated because GREED.

[@thepajay]

Like how these reviews always have a honest edge to them. Gave it some shower thoughts the last 2 days, and finally contacted the xbox support for a refund. No fifa, cod or sw:bf2 purchases this year hehh. Thanks for the review.

[@sundotjolangot9937]

This is the first time I've come across your channel. SUBSCRIBED!

[@WorthABuyreviews]

welcome

[@Simte]

Well, yet another game I'll pirate. :)

[@Nathan-ms8mj]

TISQUESUSA probably not even worth the download

[@manganistDIMITRI]

Not worth it.

[@rxdactedx]

Need for speed I’ll be pirating lol

[@JayandtheClay]

TISQUESUSA :D

[@joshwa9794]

TISQUESUSA worth a pirate. Nah I'll go for a walk instead.

He did althing to not show the beard of Han

[@detectivespoonan7603]

2:58 i wonder what he was doing with the other hand *BELL RING* *BELL RING* *BELL RING* *BELL RING* *BELL RING*

[@ivansime9127]

I had a tear in my eye watching this so funny as usual Mack! :) Also a tear in my other eye for the touching speech about the shit that's called the gaming industry you deserve to go down in history for the gaming industry I really mean that been a supporter for 4 years now keep up the great work Mack !! :)

[@ivansime9127]

Oh also have a great day everyone lets be positive unlike the fanboys ;)

[@ThatJackDentGuy]

Couldn’t agree more - it’s time the gaming community showed the industry that we won’t buy into this shite. Great review Mack

[@Harryhas26]

The only thing big gaming companies want is your money. We need to start boycotting these games. The newest Battlefront, Battlefield and COD completely lack enough content to justify the price tag. 8, 9 and 11 multiplayer maps respectively at launch is nowhere near enough considering the technology and budgets available to these organisations. These companies just make the game look nice then blow the rest of their budget on marketing to brainwash kids into buying their half finished pieces of shit games. Remember the proper 2005 SWBF2? Included every map, gamemode, hero, both era's all in the base game. Along with a campaign that actually lasts more than half an hour. State of the gaming industry right now is a joke.

[@TheRealMarkPotter]

How long did you play the game for and did you pay for any crates?

[@TheSmithNL]

"EA made more U-turns than the Italians in WWII" Damn, shots fired haha

[@chiraq95th86]

REALIST REVIEW OUT THERE ... EXPOSE EA

[@stephen44000]

Vote with your wallets. I've been boycotting EA for 2 years now. Great Video Mac.

[@AdolfHitler-xp1nx]

i've been boycotting since hardline hardline was 100,000x better than BF2 XD

[@ParadiseDecay]

Gamers need to stick together and get these shareholders out of this business!

[@WYTTRBBT]

Mack, I'm curious as to whether you looked into the thing you said in the other reviews about MP, in that the matches pair newbies against high level players. Were you able to confirm that it is a thing? I was hoping to see this in the AMA, but they didn't answer it as they really didn't answer anything.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

I am waiting until Friday as it can't be tested until the new players join with no buffs or star cards

[@michaelcourtemanche1620]

Thank you Mack!

[@shadowfoxgaming6657]

You nailed it again just like the first one back in 2015 and gamers today need a good star wars game my advice like Mack said go to Steam and get and play the original game and get Star Wars Battlefront2, Jedi Academy, Knights Of The Old Republic 1-2 and you will have a fantastic time then this garbage of 60+ $ wasted.

[@Webshooters1]

Others I'd add are the entire Dark Forces series, Rogue Squadron, Episode 1 Racer, Shadows Of The Empire, Empire At War, and Republic Commando.

[@ronhar1412]

Don't forget Jedi Outcast and where's the love for the lego star wars games? (specifically clone wars and complete saga)

[@Qotsafin]

Great review Mack ! Was it like you said last time that start from low rankings and see if you got connected with higher level players in multiplayer

[@omnisciency]

When you don't hear him go ASMR when he says "read the words of the developers" then you know shits about the go down

[@xaothal]

refunded

[@d2tz]

definitely not worth a buy!!!

[@VoyagersRevenge]

I spent a couple bucks on a game called Nioh for PC and its my holiday season game.

[@RoseJetExhaust]

*UPDATE: EA has temporarily disabled the in-game microtransactions. They finally realized what the have done. Let´s hope they can actually save this game.*

[@Alejandro_87]

Haha pay to win a game you paid to play. We as a species don't deserve to live

[@ManvirSingh-tw1ki]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@hpharold23]

Nope.. nope.. not buying this game! I'll pass... pirate...then uninstall.. :P

[@thepunchableface1506]

I've never pirated a game but that's about to change. I used to buy games that had MT'S, shitty pre order bonuses etc when they were heavily discounted but not any more. From now on they get NOTHING.

[@runictie8307]

Hey Mack, have wondered what's your thoughts on CSGO? It's arguably one of the most balanced multiplayer settings in a modern game, have you played it at all?

[@Ammaarzor]

Man I really hope you get more bells. The two bells right now sound like freaking royalty at Buckingham Palace. Coupled with the satire it's one of the most glorious moments of these reviews.

[@paulr1068]

Criticised for no campaign, they release a 5 hour bullshit campaign. I actually preordered this for my 9 year old son for his bday.. What a disgrace!

[@jasoncowley4718]

Refund and use the money to buy him a couple of Bandai Star Wars kit models, you'll have fun building these with him and you'll feel much better about it. :D

[@mikekeeley3432]

I think thats a big part of the issue right there Paul. My 10 year old nephew often comes to stay at weekends and we just spend it gaming. He bugged me to buy the first one and has bugged me to buy this one (I didnt and wont) but the advertising clearly is aimed at a young audience. I dont have issues with microtransactions as long as they dont give you advantages, buying a skin for a couple of quid is fine in my opinion. Buying a 'blaster' that lets you do 50% more damage isnt. And Im not blaming you Paul, pressure from your own kids must be horrible to deal with, at least I get to give my nephew back on a SUnday!

[@paulr1068]

Mike Keeley Very true, 5 hours is barely even making an effort on a campaign. COD WW2 was bigger.. Turned it on this morning, first thing I saw... "You have a free loot crate"..

[@TheTrueType]

Mack, could you please revisit this game today? Please upvote this if you think so aswell so he can see it.

[@WhoIsDylan0]

TrueType I would really love if he would revisit this game and give it a new review for the multiplayer, the game had changed a lot.

[@Youssless]

and I died of laughter, thanks for making me laugh my tits off as usual.

[@Zach93SSSS]

Love your new bells Mack! Nice tones

[@Dujfjfo]

Easy decision for me because I can't stand Star Wars. Will not be buying this junk

[@krixig]

What about a Stranger Things rtsmmo fps with loot crates, Pepsi ads, and premium boosts?

[@Shitt3r6968]

Bro how do you not like star wars

[@Legio207]

I also dont like it..I like it when i was a kid yeah but now? Nahh not rly give me blade runner, the matrix, planet of the apes,aliens....

[@Freddy-nd5im]

kfunkdeluxe And why do you feel the need to tell the world this

[@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565]

Freddy why does anyone in the comments section need to tell anyone anything?

[@CsquidyC]

Fucking knew it: game sux

[@larsalbrecht3497]

HE JSUT SAID THE GAME IS GOOD IN THE COMMENT

[@TresTrefusis]

been watching your vids for the past year and I have to say that you are 100% right Mack, bang on. Nice to see that at least part of the gaming community has discovered the power of their wallets... I will not be buying this game, however, you should check out the original Battlefront II again. I saw that you did a retro WAB on it, but now disney have opened up the servers again. I think it's selling for 10.00 on Steam, from what I've heard the servers are a lot better, but I haven't had the chance to play it yet. Keep up the crusade Mac, you're making a difference brother. - From across the Pond

[@Aramyss99]

Thanks Mac for your quick review, very appreciated.
