Why wouldn't the progression system affect the review?? That's like saying.. Oh we made this new car, it look pretty, sounds great but we wish they didn't based their opinion off the engine..

Gamers would have loved if EA didn't F things up YET AGAIN. Star Wars is arguably one of the most powerful licensing vehicles in ALL OF THE WORLD. Yet EA STILL manages to F things up.

Played it on EA Access. Super generic boring shooter, with a super pretty Star Wars coat of paint on it. Bought the first one, regretted it, won’t buy this one. Let me know when they make them like the old ones.

So you wanted a major aspect of the main focus of the game....the MP, that had paid to progess loot boxes, not to effect the score game? What planet are this people from?

And we're supposed to give a rat's a** what DICE thinks or feels because.........?

And we would have loved if you would have given us a game and not a gambling machine.

i guess next time don't put them in then?

It not a progression system when its pay to win may Battlefront 2 crash & burn

Can Disney take the Star Wars license away from EA ? They are doing more harm than good at this point & right on the eve of The Last Jedi releasing is also not helping Disney

Gamers would have loved if there wasn't microtransactions, loot boxes, and pay 2 win BS in the game.

"Developer would have loved if game being bad hasn't impacted review scores."

and I would love Halle Berry, Eva mendes, eva longoria all as my wives but hey, we cant win them all

You sold your soul to the devil DICE i’m sorry but i’m glad this is happening ! FUCK EA

Dice used to be a company with integrity; not any more.

We all would have loved it if EA wasn't synonymous with dick in a box.

even without the paying for it shit, its stupid to never get anything for the class you want to play as unless you get it through sheer dumb luck from this horrid gambling system :/ remove the pay to win and you still have the shittiest progression system i think ive ever seen ... i mean the whole point of progression is to play as something or in someway until you unlock the desired reward, but in BF2/2 there is no guarantee you will ever unlock stuff for your heavy while playing dozens of hours as the heavy or anything else etc etc its awful and completely absurd ...

Of course they would have loved it if their microtransactions wouldn't have impacted their scores, but its a new world and they did!

EA stock has been going down https://www.cnbc.com/2017/1...

DICE games are for entertainment with a fair business treatment. The way EA did this business screwed your game up, making many of us skip your game.

3470 hours is an EDP in architecture while 4500 hours is the time spent to unlock all the characters intended in the game. Games doesn't give us a job, education or food. We get entertainment out of them for a FAIR price.

Next time think twice EA.

Guess they didn't get the bonus check that is given to developers depending on how well the game scored on metacritic. http://replygif.net/i/748.g...

"progression system" HAHAHAHAHAA

Yeah im sure a lot of developers "would have loved" if shitty aspects of there games didnt affect review scores

Oh get lost. The game isn't that good anyway.

It should impact since microtransaction is part of the game play system. idiot!

Tough. Stand up to your bosses or leave them and form a publisher that doesn't suck the blood from it's games and customers.

I'm sure if you quit, many decent publishers will snap you lot up anyway. Dice have a great reputation... EA do not.

I hope Disney realizes how toxic EA is to life and gets rid of them. I'd love a jedi based adventure done by CD Projekt Red. One can dream right?

They're just bad for the industry in every way

EA the only reason you responded is because of governments.

Gamers would have loved to not have dealt with microtransactions ruining our gaming experience. Odd how that works.

Well DICE you fly with the crows you get shot with the crows..

That’s like saying: “We wish the shitty parts of the game didn’t impact our review scores.”

Sorry, but just like every other review, the game is reviewed as a whole.

My guess after all is said & done ? EA will abandon Battlefront 2 & work on the next one

I was wondering when this article would come out.

Also wondered how this affects dice monetarily. Usually the development teams get kickbacks for reaching certain milestones with their game. One of those has often been meta critic score..

Love ya dice but you got burned by the most evil publisher out there.

It is pretty crappy, even though they did this to themselves, cause this is a huge and amazing game. Arcade Mode, online, Campaign, all of it... but greed overshadowed what they achieved. Hopefully this is a lesson learned that enough is enough when it comes to this stuff.

Lmfao! They wished everyone just ignored a major component of the game! I'm sure every developer wishes some component of their game was ignored too for a better review.

Well, after all the negative reviews and stupid system by EA, I wont be buying this game. I'll wait for it to join the vault games of EA Origin. I'm glad gamers united! Thank you to all my brothers and sisters from another mother!

If they dont want a part of the game to have an impact on the reviews they shouldnt implement them. You cant pick and choose.

Then you shouldn't of put one in...

If you had all the content unlocked from the start (you know like the PS2 games) then you wouldn't have people upset.

Progress systems aren't fun, they exist to sell you content already in the game.

So glad people are actually doing something. Loot boxes were a scam from the get go. Give em hell. Then give naughty dog he'll cos their loot box system is fucking atrocious and if no one says owt tlou2 will be plagues with them.

Then find another publisher for your games.

COME ON for Christ sake, this is clearly not DICE'S fault, EA held a freaking lightsaber to their throats and demanded
"DO this,this,this and this".

EA are at the epicentre of this entire mess and going by Levelcapgaming's video released last night, it was supposedly Disney who stepped in from a CEO to CEO phone call and made EA rush out a statement halting the MT system!

DICE did an amazing job on their part and should be appreciated for it,selling their soul to be under Satan's wing back in 2006 should not be though ..hehe!

I just hope Disney and LucasFilm now let DICE have more options when it comes down to cosmetics, would give anything to see the Galactic Marine skin in the game like the classic Battlefront 2, HECK, I WILL EVEN PAY FOR IT!!!!!

DICE "Would Have Loved" If You Just Send Them Your Money

P. S.: Progression system is a huge part of gameplay, if you're going to ignore it, you're doing an awful job at reviewing the game.

How would that be possible. The progressions system is an integral part of a mp shooter!?

Edit: Playing the beta, the first thing I thought was that this could be a great game, but the random drops made the whole progression less enjoyable. I'm not fond progression systems in mp shooters anyway, but this was the least efficient and satisfying way of doing things ever...

...seriously? i "wouldve loved" it if reviews dont factor in garbage game design, alas, i live in the real world. apparently dice and EA need a few lessons regarding reality.

That's for trying to usurp the gaming community and try to use our beloved star wars characters to lure us into a casino scheme.

I remember when the new head of EA took over a few years ago and every one was giving them s**t. I tried to be open and told people to give this new guy a chance to see if he can take the company in a new, less ostentatiously greedy direction. Clearly this hasn't happened, I give up. EA you can KISS MY SWINGERS

I guess DICE should give up on gambling with their Christmas bonus & give gamers what they want. Cut out the loot box crap 😡

Youre going to start taking hits for this. You evolve. We evolve.

I would have loved it if you guys didn't make a progression system under loot crates where you unlock things by chance. With the motivation to have people spend money to get things they want quicker.
