    The story mode does sound fun.. but I like online multiplayer too much. The original Battlefront and Battlefront 2 on PS2 and Xbox.. the multiplayer on those were amazing.

    Don't listen to the people complaining. They are blowing it way out of proportion because they want all characters unlocked from the get go. The game was released early for certain pre-order customers and one of my buddies that is playing it unlocked Darth Vadar in 4 hours.

    The reddit users that started all of this mess where saying it would take 40 hours to unlock one special character or cost something like $2000 in extra transactions to pay to unlock all of the characters.
    I look at that pay to win hype being touted as people afraid to actually put work into a game and achieve accomplishments and want instant gratification.

    I'll admit, I'm not a big gamer anymore. Growing up I had Atari, All the sega systems (never owned a nintendo), Turbo Graphics, Playstation, and even as a grown up I've had Playstations and Xboxes and played computer games from when Wolfenstein came out. I was the typical gamer for a long time. But as I grew up I lost interest, but can understand people playing still, but don't understand people that play and just want the whole game open and everything just given to them. I can remember spending LOTS of time on RPGs building up characters and earning their abilities.
    Back in the original Nintendo and Sega days games were $50-$80. That was back in the 80's. So in todays dollars games would be $110-$180. And back then, game development wasn't near as costly as it is today.
    All of these people wanting games for $50-$60 and want the best graphics, and tons of features and more and more content are paying LESS than I did as a kid mowing lawns. Then complain when they have to spend a little more to get more or because they want to have a better character to be better than someone else.
    Maybe because I'm getting old now, but hat happened to playing games for fun?

    EA also reduced the unlock amounts in the early play.

    The reddit users you mentioned have a legit gripe. Its not about instant gratification. 40 hours is a lot of play time just to unlock one of the main characters from the movie. Its like having to play Legend of Zelda for hours, just to unlock Link as a playable character. Then there's the fact that they're catering to users who will pay out of pocket to advance faster. They've also put a cap on how many credits you an earn in the arcade mode of the game, along with a message "come back in 3 hours to earn more credits." It's all a greed based money grab by EA.


    Agreed. The originals were amazing and had tons of replay value.

    X box one x here.
    Bought it not to long ago when it was on sale for $30.
    Single player story has been ok so far and I enjoy that it's old characters in the story and has been okay so far. In my opinion worth the 30 bucks I only have about 4 hours into it though.

    The multiplayer is just another dice multiplayer game, it plays really well though.

    i enjoyed the single player.
    i wish they would add some more.

    the best modes i play now are Ewok Hunt (when it is available) and Extraction.
    Ewok Hunt is a blast.

    supposed to be an update today with new content

    EA is dedicating so much to this game. the content is awesome.
