EA: "It's been a busy few weeks for Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II. We’re excited to have launched the game to the world, but recognize that there have been some challenges along the way. We have learned a lot, and are making adjustments to the game to ensure the best experience possible. On Tuesday, an update is rolling out that begins the Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II The Last Jedi Season by kicking off factional challenges, letting you choose a side and start competing for rewards as either The First Order or The Resistance."
Six years ago today, Battlefront II added BB-8 and BB-9E, sequel era Supremacy, and major quality of life improvements.
From SWTOR to KOTOR and Battlefront II, these are the best Star Wars games ranked by replayability. A guide to the games worth replaying today.
Star Wars: Battlefront II on PS2 expanded scale, strategy, and storytelling, delivering one of the most ambitious Star Wars shooters of its era.
Meh...wish they'd realize there's no half measures with MT's. At the end of the day it's still a P2W game.
Changing a few things here and there isn't going to cover the fact it's plagued with P2W features.
Too little, and far too late. Greed has imprisoned this game to the depths of irrelevance, no amount of polish and gameplay improvements could have saved it from the grubby hands of corporate fat cats at the top of the EA spectrum. It took an even bigger corporate juggernaut called Disney (and the threat of undermining the giant of the movie world Star Wars close to the latest iteration) to bring EA down to their knees begging desperately for mercy, for any minuscule amount of change to happen.
The lesson here = you may get away with grubby microtransactions by covering them up, but don't cover them up with a franchise so much bigger and superior than you. In other words, don't fuck around with Star Wars.
Activision, Blizzard, Konami and the other divisions of EA (FIFA etc) may have been laughing their asses off these past few weeks at getting away with similar despicable acts, but now the bolted horse has been found and exposed, and every game from now on with such despicable acts will be scrutinised and bent to the sword.
Still not buying it, but I can't help but feel that whoever wrote this was grinding their teeth and cussing under their breath.
This is not what was expected, this is basically a baby step towards culling an outraged audience until they completely give up on caring so they can bring back the same old system at a later point.
it's like they wake up and think "how can we fix this without actually fixing it"
better yet this reddit comment puts it much better than me
EA: "Lets f em HARD at launch so that every update we can f them less and they'll thank us"
Gamers: "THANK YOU EA!"
Yeah too late EScum your greed is over 9000 get rid of lootboxes
