For the good of the gaming community.

Progression in this game is designed in the same way as a free to play pay to win game except instead of the game initially being free, it cost $60 up front. What I mean when I say it’s desinged like a free to play game is that it is pay to win. You have to pay additional money to unlock things through slot machine tactics and if you don’t pay additional money and attempt to earn in game currency by playing the game, it will literally take you DAYS of ingame play time to unlock anything and progress. Don’t buy into this bullshite slot machine progression system. Kids will get ahold of their parents credit card and basically pay real money for slot machine rewards. There’s no gaurettes. It’s an online version of gambling. Don’t let EA nickle and dime you or your kids. It’s fricking criminal and should be outlawed.

You also have the option to pay money to unlock heroes to play as in the game like Darth Vader. Sure, they have an ingame currency that you can earn by playing the game to unlock the heroes without paying the extra cash, but it will take you over 40 hours of game time to unlock a single hero. Reddit users have done the math. They make it insanely tedious to unlock anything in the game on purpose so you have incentive to pay extra cash on a game that already cost $60 upfront. This is fricking bullshite. If you buy this game, you are supporting this nickle and dime bullshite and you can expect to see more of this from future triple A games. Kill it now before it becomes a standard for triple A games. Don’t buy and don’t support SW Battlefront 2

frick EA!

This is what gaming has become and it’s not going away any time soon. Why? Because it’s insanely profitable.

For every person like you or me that won’t support it, there are thousands that do. It’s the new standard now.

I agree with this, but the P2W aspects might kill the game over time. It's a huge IP so it isn't likely, but the first Battlefront didn't exactly have a huge community compared to CoD or Battlefield.

I'm playing.

People that cry "play 2 win" just have another excuse to suck.

If you can't hang in Grand Theft Auto Online, no amount of Shark Cards is going to save you. If you suck at Madden, no amount of coins will save you in Ultimate Team.

It’s because of idiots like you I won’t be able to enjoy playing a game without having to pay for microtransactions. Stupid sheep

Unfortunately, the Games-As-A-Service model will soon be commonplace. The game will suck so i wasn’t gonna buy it anyway lmao

And this is another reason i don't care. Self righteous, holier than though gamers who think they know what is best for everyone else.

Sorry but the level of fun you have with a game doesn't matter to me. And I have yet to pay a microtransaction. Maybe you shouldn't base the amount of fun you have on being able to get every single item

Games-as-a-service is already killing development houses.

Development outfits such as Visceral who didn’t create enough online open world games got shitcanned because their titles were seen as one play and a trade in, costing EA through used sales.


They don’t seem to care that a number of us DO NOT WANT an online open world game. If we did, we’d fricking play WOW.

I'll be buying it because there is no way they don't change it with the amount of backlash they are getting.

They're getting nut-punched by the collective fist of hundreds of thousands of angry people.

This is like 10x worse than the Mass Effect 3 controversy and even they changed that, which was adding entire endings and animations, probably costing thousands of dollars.

This is a much easier fix.

Yea I'm all for making a stand against p2w but can I start with some other game? I've played Battlefront 2 and it's fun.

I played the first one and returned it the day I got it

Only reason I was interested in the second installment was because of the campaign. I'll keep an eye on how that is.

My favorite part of it all is how EA's comment on Vader being locked behind at least 40 hours of multiplayer matches became the most downvoted comment in the history of Reddit by a LARGE margin lol.

Which is fine when done in games like Smite and LoL actually.

Smite > LoL in terms of its model for sure.
