I played the 1st 2 Battlefronts as a kid without XBLA and really enjoyed them I don't see why they can't put in a story like they did with the 501st in the 2nd Battlefront

It would just be that stuff like they do in Unreal Tournament. Disguise MP bot play as SP.

Developer pedigree.

I don't get all the EA hate. Was everyone mad at EA when dragon age came out?

TBH if there is any single player that I'd want to play in a shooter....it would be a fricking Star Wars single player.

But where do you want the developers spending the most time? A game with great SP and MP is the unicorn.

That is what I am referring to. It cost millions more to make these games, yet they have much less content.


I know Gardoki answered some of these, but there is absolutely a bar that you have to reach in order to be very successful mass market. While people say they don't care graphics, great graphics get people talking about your game.

The time it takes to render all of the worlds and details take more time, thus the staff has to be paid longer. Longer dev cycles and larger development staffs are why costs have risen. That and the marketing arms race that have caused publishers to spend far more than the past on it.

Yes, actually.

The first thing you see when you go to your camp was to buy some Day 1 DLC bullshite. I thought it was a joke at the time and kept clicking being assured that it was a Bioware joke......nope.

I don't play battlefield, but that's what bothered me about Titanfall. There was no real campaign to play and break up the monotony of multiplayer.

I didn't even notice it. Either way dlc is here to stay and it's not just EA.

As one of the most geeked out fans, who has posted almost monthly anticipation threads

This game is now a pass for me. MP is fun and all, but singleplayer is the other half of the fun.

I will not buy half a game.

ETA: this is a truly depressing turn of events.

I don't think that's right. I've heard stuff directly contrary from websites and from the official sources.

Do you feel single-player only games are half a game?

AT-AT's aren't drivable???

No x wing/tie fights??

This along with the fact that I find laser weapons boring in shooters is turning this into a underwhelming game

Well this sucks.

I only play single player in all games because I'm really just not good enough at shooter games to have a good time getting killed every 10 steps I take. I enjoy playing them though, which is why I like single player campaigns.

No lie my friends have banned me from playing COD on their accounts because I always will have like 20 deaths for every 1 kill.

I really want this game still.... I guess I'm going to just have to get better now
