FPS needs a hook for me. It's why CoD bores me yet BF attracts me (vehicles). Even Destiny has a hook (the MMORPGFPS) as well as Borderlands (in co-op) for the RPGFPS. Battlefront should scratch the Battlefield itch, but the vehivles and levelling are badly implemented, so it's more like CoD for me.

Got in this morning. Multiplayer is fun I thought. I hope they have a single player campaign like Battlefront 2 though. Definitely scratches the Star Wars itch.

That was a huge problem through this demo cycle. Too many kids playing the troops and not the objectives. I got the OS power up 2 times as a rebel and spent it on the AT-ATs each time. Other people, not so much...they'd carpet 2-3 troops running around the uplink stations. Made me sad, more so because no coms were working for PS4. There really just is not enough here to justify spending coin on it, and I am talking about the whole package - all the maps that are coming. Just too thin on gameplay for me that more maps and silly objectives just do not make up for. |

Yeah, objective gameplay is great on teams and sucks in public. See it enough in WoT and other games where there's an objective and kids just want to deathmatch. "Oh, that light tank trio suddenly capped us because we were all ignoring base. Shit." Got in this morning. Multiplayer is fun I thought. I hope they have a single player campaign like Battlefront 2 though. Definitely scratches the Star Wars itch.
No single-player campaign. If you check the SP bit you can do survival waves, private matches or the tutorial. That's it for the SP game, this is all about the MP. I agree it's not worth the $60. If it were $40 I'd be ok with it but not at this price point. |

Also, wtf is up with the guys able to get 44+ kills and only 3 deaths. I'm ready to believe the aimbot claims since there's only ever one or two guys that can do that while the rest of the teams are down at the 15-20 kill range with far more deaths.

It looks and sounds gorgeous, the action is fun but it's the equivalent of a popcorn movie. Nothing really to keep me coming back. Not sure how to break it to my son that galactic conquest mode is not in this game. Legitimately he might cry. (SW BF 2 was the first computer game he ever played) |

As someone who tends to like to takes games "seriously" and try to win, I honestly don't think this is it. I think they get a kick out of ruining the other guy's game. |

I take them, "seriously" and try to win too, but I'm not going to resort to cheating to do it. And while shitting on someone else's game is probably part of it, it's not the whole thing. They get a little ego boost from being able to break the rules.

This is out, and a lot of fun. I still think it doesn't have much longevity unless you are a teenager or younger, and it is incredibly annoying to know so clearly that we pay 60€ for half of the game, as the rest will be released for another 40€ over the next 6 months as "DLC". But it is a tight, very polished and beautifully looking arcadey shooter. Bonus happiness for the speederbike section on Endor which is the 3D tribute to the old Return of the Jedi isometric arcade game as there are a few signature fallen trees that are there for very appreciated nostalgia reasons. |

Not sure how I feel about dropping $110 for this (base game + DLC/season pass BS). It looks great, but EA nickle and dime tactics are still in full effect here.

Especially not 110$ for a game that, if my calculations are correct, you won't be playing anymore in a couple of weeks. Maybe if you have kids...

 I spin up TF2 again every once in a while. Fills my FPS itch for a bit.

If there was a single player campaign in this that looked and sounded this "Star Wars" I'd have been all over it. The catch the look and feel of the Star Wars universe really well. The sound alone is incredible.

Same. The multiplayer only leaves me cold, even if I do get to do the Battle of Jakku early.

Sure you can, I bet lots of people here bought Giants: Citizen Kabuto at launch and "played" it.

Dude that game had amazing gameplay and if you weren't talking shit to someone on Roger Wilco while you were throwing them across the map with kabuto you were Doing It Wrong.

Whoa, that's pretty incredible. I wonder if it's slideshow gaming at that point though. |

Says on the page he had a 30-40 FPS drop with it turned on, so I'm suspecting something 980 or above to get it playable.

A fucking week after I bought the game to appease one of my housemates. He seems to love it, though.

It's cute. Just, no longevity whatsoever. Meaning, it's enjoyable one or two nights. With friends. Good friends.

Should have been another Jedi Knight or single player game with this as MP mode. SW fans buy lots of garbage but DO generally expect some sort of experience that lets them feel heroic, not just bro shooter v. 12.2. |

FYI this very game is free to grab for a couple days on GOG.com, scroll down about 3/4 on the main page. Multiplayer base wars are the shit. |

Exactly. I would have bought it. But if you tell me it's mostly multiplayer and no real story or SP campaign? Forget it. I'm not paying you to be lazy. |

I will say this, the battle of Jakku is Awesome. Watching a star destroyer slowly crash into the desert surface while a battle rages both above and all around you is amazing. Is it worth the price of the game? Hell no, but it's awesome.

I dunno. Maybe just because of the coming movie or my lifestyle doesn't support the deeper games this season, but I'm enjoying the shit out of it. They totally nailed the Star Wars feel, more because of the SFX and backdrops than anything else. I wish more things were destructible, and that I was better at flying, but otherwise I've already gotten more than my money's worth even if I never pick it up again after Ep 7.
