DICE doesn't even bother with offline play. Some game modes haven't even been updated since launch. This was the worst purchasing decision I made.

EA doesn't deserve anything. They had the loot boxes put into the game in the first place. For a while before the game began gaining more popularity I can guarantee you that EA only allowed DICE to keep development of the game going to keep their own asses safe. EA deserves absolutely no appreciation or thanks for the clusterfuck of a launch this game had.

Honestly the OG Battlefront is worse than Battlefront 2(2017) just for the technical reasons( graphics, animation, variety , sound). People only remember the good things about the Original 2005 version but it lacks on so many levels compared to the new game. Every hero has the same animation and very abilities. There is no real progression system either, no customization and it lacks the amount of reinforcments that the new game has by now. Every Blaster feels pretty much the same, no modification that you can attack and the maps are either very small or too big and feel very empty.

It's not that honorable. They put them in for the first few months when it's big and everyone playing it. They get all that revenue from the loot crates etc Then they move on to their next loot crate ridden game and remove them from the old games so we can all applaud them for being good

Agree with the verdict but it still has something that bugs me. Giving in-game buffs like more shield HP, cool down rate, grenade blast radius and stuff like that for leveling cards pushes this from being a fun shooter game to being nothing more than casual fun. Farm and you will statistically do better even if you don't improve by yourself. Not the worst thing for a game like this but still not what I want out of a game. I payed 5€ in a sale and I don't regret it. Still occasionally fire it up for the new content patches. But not a deep game and no long term motivation for me at least. Still worth it on a sale.

[@yourlongshadows5568]

Really uncomfortable with EA getting one iota of credit or praise for this. They've clearly backed off the SW franchise due to a combination of fanbase and Disney backlash, leaving DICE alone to create actual gameplay worth a damn. Basically all they did was withdraw their greedy mitts from this ONE franchise. I'm back to playing as well, and thrilled to have two enjoyable Star wars games to play this year... but you won't catch me giving EA the benefit of the doubt. They're a scourge on the gaming industry and should be shunned.

[@davedudeip]

Im pretty sure it was Disney who told them to back off or lose the rights to the game. Disney likes there rep to be clean and they hold the rights to Star Wars, the last thing they wanted was upset customers talking shit about star wars as they are working on the movie franchise.

[@hluis768]

Yeah, im pretty sure it was Disney too, I think they weren't happy with how EA had managed their IP. With cancelled games and Intense monitazition, the mouse had to be afraid that it would hurt the franchise on the long wrong.

[@brigbrizz]

@@OGPatriot03 There are a ton of great studios out there, but they're facing a whole set of problems that EA and other major game companies will never have to deal with. They have no marketing budget, they have, and it hurts to say this, little idea how to make sure their game actually makes enough money to keep the studio(s) afloat after the game gets released. Gamers love to hate on Epic, but honestly they're the best thing that's happened to indie game studios in the past couple of years: the few lucky indie devs that get picked up by Epic can focus entirely on their game without having to worry about selling copies of the game, marketing, or really any other major business issues. Unfortunately it's still mostly a crutch since it doesn't solve the core problem, but at least it's something.

[@12171010011010]

cinIALVEspO w Everything that you said is completely misinformed. 1. Making shit games doesn't increase the image of the publisher, but making games that people will reliably buy definitely will, especially if they have a guaranteed audience. Making a quality game isn't profitable. The vast majority of profit comes from the initial sell. The value of their company is based on how much money they make, and unless you have extremely bad PR like EA, consumer reviews usually don't mean shit relatively. 2. The gaming industry is not in "dissaray". Publishers are realising that they can force greedy decisions, like microtransactions, without any blame being directed towards themselves. Either the devs get the blame, or the consumer doesn't care enough to make a big deal. If anything the gaming industry is stuck in an extremely formulaic loop. 3. I don't think you know what "start a company" means. Do you even know how you do that? To become a publisher you need lots of money so you can invest, and a team that can manage that money, and lawyers. If you are a developer, either you're Indie, in which case the market is flooded with hundreds of devs exactly like you. If you are a small studio, then you need loads of money or interest from Publishers. 4 AAA games are not made by SJWs or spread SJW propaganda as you desperately want to believe. The publishers know that they can sell to a wider audience, and be labeled as "brave" or "progressive" for literally no risk. If anything, anyone that is actually an "SJW" would be upset by these fake attempts just to sell more copies, since they do more harm than good to any serious movement. Are you upset that the game has a lazy and forced "girl power" theme? The feminists do too congrats. 5. There is no real growing demand. As the gaming industry becomes overpopulated, the *average* consumer will still only have time to buy and play 5-7 games a year. Each game these days advertises at least a 16 hour experience, if not more, and most people buy at least one multiplayer game they may invest hundreds of hours in. There is no room for most people to experiment, or play multiples of the same genre of game to find out which is better.

It's a good game now. Some might even say a great game. The base game showed plenty of promise. However, jumping into the multiplayer almost feels daunting. There's just so many modes to choose from. So many things to unlock. And the hardcore fanbase that has stuck with it from the get go absolutely destroys me all the time. That's actually a compliment. It's just I don't know if I have the time to "git gud".

[@Level-ts7xl]

nope, still not giving EA a single dime.

DICE made this,not EA.

@@moderndemon84 I really do not understand you zombies that have this verbal diarrhea "dIcE mAdE iT!", holy fuck all these comments about DICE and how we should thank DICE. Who gives a fuck? They sold out to EA a long time ago and can't do shit without EA approval.

[@qwertzritter5197]

of course they CAN make a good Game ... THEY GOT A shitload of funding buuuuut they just tried what if we make shit and try to spend a lot more on publicity and ads, sponsored videos etc. and try to make everyone believe that its a good game

[@SDK2K9]

Well I'm going to be the bigger man here and give them some respect for making this game better.

[@wesleysartin4317]

I'm so sad I am just now noticing this review. I boycotted it out of principle because of your first review, but never noticed this update. I loved the original battlefront games. I'll have to see if anyone is still playing it 5 years latter!

You can still get fairfight pemabanned if you win too often in the heroes vs villains mdoe.

Never heard of that. Sounds fabricated.

I have to agree with you Mack. The game has changed a lot and is worth a buy now.

[@veliselaci3096]

EA did none, give props to DICE

[@Zelinator1]

2019.. Still didn't even buy it.

[@ripple123]

I bought it this year on sale for like $6 and it is so worth it. It is such a good fun game now, no more of those bs tactics

[@riusaki]

The game is on sale all the time for under $10. Bought it in 2018 for $7 on PC and $9 on PS4.

I'm actually proud of Dice and Disney for bitch Slapping EA, now we finally have what we wanted, late but better late then never, thank you

[@ivofixzone6410]

Well, after 3 years and billions made they now can afford to take the shit out. I don't think EA has changed. Wait to see their next game ...

[@Kxvca]

Ivo Fixzone they took the pay to win out about 2-3 months after its shitty release so they haven’t ‘just taken it out’

@@Kxvca I appreciate your remark, but corporate greed never goes in favor of customers, especially in game industry - fact.

too bad it is kinda dead now, was late to the party, only tried this game a couple of weeks ago thanks to the Epic free game. Had a ton of fun with the Supremacy mode, but it is getting harder and harder to get a full 20 vs 20 game going

[@sinephase]

anyone notice all the games they've released on other stores, too? so much for locked-down ecosystem model.

[@karlkarlson8420]

Still a hard pass

[@Gurubashy]

every EA game is a hard pass. I just cannot even believe how someone can still give them money. After all the things they've done, people still give them money. EA should be boycotted into bankruptcy.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

I like in multiplayer operations is described as a "diverse set of game modes" it's literally two fucking modes.

[@whiskyrebel9715]

I hate posts like this but I'm going through a rough time and the first minute of this video has me laughin pretty good

[@songokussj4cz]

Is it Worth a Buy? Well, it will be free on Epic Games Store from Jan 14 - Jan 21 2021 so... :-D

I honestly think you should buy it to support the developers they just pulled a no man's sky comeback and they should be rewarded for it.

It's not just the gaming industry that gets fucked by greedy shareholders. The car industry, any product you buy now, all have a useful life and they break a lot sooner than they ever did before. Plus a lot more parts arent repairable.

Mack, back in 2017 as soon as i saw your review i refunded it before even openning the game. I want to see a time where game compagnies actually care about the material they deliverer and not the money

[@tacobellcall911]

Bruh this is the 3rd video of this game being reviewed by high subscribed KZbin sites and they all literally saying the same thing doing it at the same time. How much is EA paying you guys???

it's popular and trending atm, so they're all jumping on it.

[@ncrveteranrangermelendez1193]

TacoBell Call911 I doubt they got paid The game is just actually good now

[@TouringWolf42]

The game is legit really good , it's actually kinda hard to stop playing once you get in. I can say I pour 1-2 hours a day on BF2 considering usually I spend 10 minutes playing other games.

[@sassythesasquatch6847]

Dennis Branvell and the small team at Dice are the ones who deserve the credit for their efforts on reviving the game not EA

[@cryptotic5257]

The only thing that annoys me is how they are pandering to the prequel audience(coming from someone who thinks of rots as one of their favorite star wars movies). If the clones get something like 20 skins for each class then the rebel and resistance should have more than 4 and the FO and empire sure as hell need more than like 1 per class.

[@Surprisegeneral]

Cryptotic - there has also been zero new weapons for the soldier classes. Only 2 new maps for galactic assault since launch. Sure they added capital supremacy but majority of the maps were already in game. CS gets so boring after one match.

[@Yugi601]

Damn.. I've been so skeptical lately but if Mack's critical ass likes it then I'm def sold.. I'm gonna have to check it out now

[@Tricus]

I was legit having an early midlife crisis in bed while thinking to myself "I need a new, proper Star Wars game" and three minutes later I get a notification from your channel. Thanks :-) also... I would love a canon first person Jedi/Trooper game with non of that new Tomb Raider and Batman button mashing bs. I hope someone is up for the task, and for those big corps, if done correctly, it will bring in huge amounts of cash. Everyone wins.

[@TheRixtah1]

A sequel to Republic Commando is the Star Wars game I've wanted for years.

[@rfigueiredomusic]

this can be first person, you can change the camera to first person shooter, and you can play as jedi to, but you can't change the camera for heroes xD

[@cmaz2991]

Fallen order wasn’t button mashing if you played on a high difficulty
