It looks it as well, but it sounds even worse in practice. And even the campaign sounds like a failure after the promise it showed. This is shaping up to truly be a polished turd, with one of the grossest progression systems for multiplayer to ever be in a AAA $60 game.
....'Almost encourage microtransactions'?
Like, I don't even.....what.
Also sad to hear that campaign is largely being put on blast too :(
Doesn't seem like it, at least from what I'm reading.
Some campaign missions, especially where you play some Hero characters felt like Tutorials for the Multiplayer instead of proper Campaign mission
Why not just put up text until you have the final score. Seems like a cheap way just to get on metacritic day 1.
Like it wouldn't make sense for any game. Mario 10/10 initially, then when reviewer is stuck on jump ropes game is boring now 6/10?
IGN said it has the worst progression system its ever seen and still gave it a 7....the score doesn't really match what the review is saying.
Review scores make no sense anymore. How is that a 8/10 from that text? An 8 is supposed to be good-great
My copy cannot come fast enough so I can return it to the store (un-opened) for a refund.
Too bad the score, which is everything that counts for casual peeps, doesn't reflect it.
This really annoys me.
Been a huge Star Wars fan for over 35 years and even I know this is true, sucks.
The whole loot box system is atrocious, and if anybody fails to acknowledge that, they aren't paying attention.
The novelty hasn't worn off yet.
They will learn nothing. EA gonna EA. This also has the knock on effect of casting massive doubt over other games they have coming like Anthem as well
I mean, to be fair it should be pretty easy to make a better shooter campaign than DICE...
Andrew Reiner, who is doing the Game Informer review, deleted it and is starting fresh.

It's just a no name website. You're acting like they should have any standards lol. Make an informed decision by finding specific journalists (not sites) with similar tastes and standards as you.
If you're going to make a campaign that is not even comparably good as Titanfall 2's you might as well go home.

Game is already released to preorders and dds in some regions.
They ignore performance issues if the game as a whole makes up for it. for example, The Witcher 3 had TONS of performance issues, bugs, graphical glitches, but the game as a whole was so brilliantly built and put together that reviewers didn't really care and it didn't impact their experience as much.
To avoid confusion, they didn't say that word-for-word. That was my summary of the negatives they had with the game.
I'm skimming the reviews that gave the game high scores to see if they mention P2W mechanics.
Its not surprising this thread will be a good indicator of which websites ill either continue or start not viewing their content.
It literally felt like they took the multiplayer engine and put in into a narrative - remember that every COD game had a separate multiplayer client last gen for this reason, and only a single game in the series actually uses it's engine from MP in it's SP - which was it's worst SP it had.
A 7 from IGN may as well be a 5 anywhere else. They're still the biggest mainstream outlet for games and it takes a lot for them to dive that far down for anything AAA.
Halo had the opposite issue. Stringing campaign assets into multiplayer levels.
That's exactly what's happening.
lol
Game Informer. Not Gamespot. The Gamespot review is in the OP.
Fuck that, they had their chance. You cant be expected to rewrite your review with every patch/update.
ah i get it, you were talking about just the score, not the review itself
