Thanks to review copies having radically cheaper hero unlock values myself and others were under the impression that heroes would be cheaper on release and were inflated for EA Access to slow progress. Now that we know that is not true and that those prices are there for launch, that's the line for me. It's absolutely ridiculous that Vader and Luke among others would take ~40 hours to even play as in a fucking STAR WARS game.
I'm curious about the single player as well but at this rate, I'm just gonna red box it down the lineI know the internet is ablaze with the controversy of this games lootboxes and cost to unlock heroes but I'm buying this game for its single player - which is an odd thing to be doing as it's single player is short and the game is multiplayer focused.
For me the amount of multiplayer I will play won't even come close to 40 hours and to be honest I don't mind never even playing as a hero... I like the boots on the ground first person perspective as one of the troopers or droids. I won't be buying a single loot box and my main goal in multiplayer will be to run objectives because I hate competitive multiplayer and compitiveness in any sense. In games like Halo I usually only play game modes like CTF and just run for the flag; not because I'm bad but because I have no urge to shoot or attack other players unless I need to. I, as a 25 year old gamer feel very disconnected from the larger gaming community. I play large 100+ hour RPG's and heavily story focused games. I'm not about all this multiplayer pay to win nonsense that's happening now.
So I'll play the campaign and try a few multiplayer modes but that'l be it for me because I have a plethora of older PS3 games I'm replaying or experiencing for the first time right now anyway. Plus it's not to far from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Okami HD so Battlefront 2 will just be a stop gap for me as I adore Star Wars stories and that universe so I'll enjoy that and get out.
Right, that's what it was. I wonder how the PRO will behave in comparison to the X.I watched a stream the other night where he was playing on the X and it was insane.
They need to fix the requirements to unlock heroes. Plain and simple.
Don't know if this has been posted or not but the plot thickens. For anyone interested almost every game gets its trophies/achievements datamined before hand. Well seems like our little game here has a Silver Trophy that is called "Do. Or do not. There is no try." which requires you to play all the Heroes once in Multiplayer. There is no way that requirement would have been made on a Silver trophy when 100+ hours are needed to accomplish it. Which means its pretty safe to assume when that was designed Heroes had an extremely minimal cost or were all unlocked from the get go. These people have no shame.
Especially since it seems when the trophies were done, the heroes were either all unlocked or had extremely low unlock values.
The X for sure.
I read somewhere how incredible it will look on it.
I would not mind a mod edit to "Pride and Accomplishment"
I'd even accept the skins(or specialty characters) being extreme grinds but this is ridiculous.
Honestly i'd pay $15 or spend 40 hours for someone like Ahsoka, Sabine, etc happily.
Not these base default characters
One can only imagine what they'll ask for to play him.

Me.I can confirm that it looks absolutely amazing on the X.
Anyone else on X? cause im getting these weird graphical glitches in the loot crate menu, im wondering if its the game or my console.
Me.
Same, I've gotten those glitches too in the loot box menu. Opening lootboxes does not feel smooth either, the game hitches like crazy sometimes when you open one.
I am seeing those, too. Glad I'm not the only one. It was convincing me that there was something wrong with my system even though that is the *only* problem I have seen.I can confirm that it looks absolutely amazing on the X.

I've said i'd pay $15 for specifically those two characters since Battlefront 1 so I can't really backtrack with that now.I don't see why we continually want to give an inch to these companies that are continually trying to nickel and dime us anyhow. They can certainly sell us a game without extreme grinds.

Slightly off the beat characters like that i'd be kinda fine with because they are far beyond the bare minimum.

Also, having played the beta on Pro and the EA Access version on the X, it certainly looks like the X is the way to go. It was a pretty big difference to me.
I'm still excited to pick this up tonight though the cost of the heroes is ridiculous. I am a player who just doesn't typically care for playing as the heroes, so I will probably just skip them unless the costs come down considerably. About the only hero I would go crazy to unlock (Nien Nunb) isn't in this one so I'm good.
My PS4 preload says it launches tonight. Release date is the 17th though?
