Our review is up.

https://press-start.com.au/reviews/playstation4-reviews/2017/11/14/star-wars-battlefront-ii-review/

I suspect our score will be a little bit higher as we felt that the core multiplayer gameplay was good enough to override all the negative stuff that's surrounding the game.

Before it comes up - no, they aren't playing with 10k credits per hero. That was for a CAPTURE event, not review copies.

Deleted member 31817 · Nov 13, 2017

Oh boy

Deleted member 4976 · Nov 13, 2017

Starting off good.

Lifejumper · Nov 13, 2017

IGN 7/10 (in progress)

http://m.ign.com/articles/2017/11/13/star-wars-battlefront-2-review

Game is reviewing worse than BF2015. Pray for DICE.

Deleted member 7279 · Nov 13, 2017

Time to take a stand games media. Ding them on all their microtransaction bullshit.

Wagram · Nov 13, 2017

Looks like i'll be skipping another installment of Battlefront. Third times the charm?

Tennis · Nov 13, 2017

Here we go! (doesn't look too hot so far)

Wow already starting off with strike outs.

Pay-to-win or not, the Star Card system is just bad.

Abicus · Nov 13, 2017

This will be a fun one to watch!

Sitting here with popcorn.

GTAce · Nov 13, 2017

Oh please be under 75 Meta in the end. I feel sorry for DICE, but screw EA.

Acquiescence · Nov 13, 2017

Scoring a game while the review is still in progress? Highly illogical.

Raijinto · Nov 13, 2017

Didnt EA specifically state that getting a higher MC score for this game over the original was a priority?

Let's see how this goes.

mysteriousmage09 · Nov 13, 2017

Good to see the bullshit actually being brought up in reviews.

Deserves to be slammed. Early reviews seem to be on board.

ironcreed · Nov 13, 2017

GamesRadar - 4 stars

The story sucks and is only 4-5 hours long and the multiplayer's progression system is a convoluted mess. Yet it gets 4 out of 5 stars?

I wouldn't really call 7/10s slammed

If IGN shits on your microtransaction system you are beyond repairing.

Game will likely be fine financially:

They probably shouldn't expect the metacritic bonuses tho. >>

No voice chat either, are they going to lock that behind a loot crate?

This can't be true, can it? (The no voice chat?)

It was bad in 2015 too, at least this version doesn't have charge cards lol

Maximo · Nov 13, 2017

I pray it gets slammed hard 1 point lower then BattleFront1 is not good enough.

Rat King · Nov 13, 2017

Already a 6 and a 7? This is going to be good.

A real sad boy · Nov 13, 2017

I will be absolutely shocked if EA Motive exists after this game. The campaign is beyond atrocious.

Imtehman · Nov 13, 2017

I stopped supporting EA when they destroyed the NFL 2K series. They are the Galactic Empire of gsming.

Calibro · Nov 13, 2017

So apparently not only the mupltiplayer is a mess, but the singleplayer is 4 to 5 hours and boring.

10/10 game.

DemonSwordsman · Nov 13, 2017

I don't get how reviews in progress have a score now.

Mona · Nov 13, 2017

Gamespot brings up a great point, in other multiplayer games you play as a certain class to progress in that class, but with lootboxes, you keep playing games as a certain class but keep getting star cards for other classes

ridiculous

tell consumers the truth without upsetting papa EA

Mass Effect Andromeda's metacritic is 70. Would you say that game was slammed by critics?

Serene · Nov 13, 2017

I fully expect EA to learn all the wrong lessons from this (or be willfully ignorant) if it reviews poorly.

Wolf of Yharnam · Nov 13, 2017

Battlefront 2's Star Cards may be one of the worst progression systems I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing in a PvP game.

Deleted member 17627 · Nov 13, 2017

It's upsetting me that this seems to be the running theme with a lot of games this generation:

Really great core gameplay with very lackluster presentation accompanied by sketchy business practice.

Saw it with Destiny, saw it with Tekken, saw it with Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, and now seeing it here.

Jeff ChickenDig · Nov 13, 2017

Shame the campaign is bad. Was thinking of redboxing it but I'll pass on that.

Danzflor · Nov 13, 2017

What an odd time slot chosen to lift the embargo there, EA.

Elandyll · Nov 13, 2017

G'damit EA.
That was the game I was the most hyped for the Holidays.

I was a day 1 buy... You had one job.

Now .. probably will still buy it during the Holiday period, but I'll look for a deal.

True, but for a AAA game of this scope and with this marketing budget and Star Wars, 6s and 7s is as low as it can realistically get from most outlets.

Paul · Nov 13, 2017

I had high hopes for the campaign :(

Deleted member 32679 · Nov 13, 2017

Based on everything I've seen and played these scores make sense.
