So you think making an exclusivity deal increases game production? My issue is with the exclusivity deal.
Star Wars Battlefront II Review Thread

Not in the slightest, yeah ;p
But its such a damn blackbox that who knows what nobs are being twisted behind the scenes.
Yup, seems about right. There's a great game buried beneath all the corporate bullshit decisions and a halfassed attempt at pleasing the SP fans.
Fuck it's depressing that EA have exclusive rights to Star Wars games. Just utter, utter shit heels.
Also fuck AAA gaming generally these days. The good stuff dies on its arse and the exploitative wank makes enough bank to become the only thing publishers and shitty devs care about.

Making hundreds of millions just isn't enough, WE NEED TO DOUBLE OUR ROI
No I don't think an exclusivity deal increases production, but it does make things more realistic and prevents shovelware, we shouldn't throw out lists as if every SW games a decade ago was a critically acclaimed masterpiece. The only reason we're able to get a game like BF2 this year in terms of scope is because they had the foundation already with the first game. Really have to take into account that game development takes longer than it used to. Two games is four years is absolutely not out of the ordinary for an IP this gen.
Oh I know, it was really just poking fun at the negative PR today, they know they're about to get a huge payday this week.
it's pretty amazing that he deleted his review because of the changes made, such as receiving 75% less credits for finishing the campaign, to get a better idea of what the game is now and people are still shitting on him.
Even with poor sales they are still under contract to put out something in the span of 10 years.
Yeah folks just loved having firm daily EXP caps in FFXIV 1.0, great inspiration there EA. Fucking morons.
The timer on arcade mode credits is ridiculous. So glad I didnt preorder this game, as someone who doesnt play MP this would have made me furious.
This fucking sucks. I mean, I'm probably not gonna play Arcade mode that often but the thought that there's a timer in this console game is plain awful. Gross
Hahaha, oh god.
I was looking forward to Battlefront II, maybe I'll pick it up when it's on sale.
Wow. I am actually amazed by that limit.
Reading Reiner's tweets you are limited to 5 Arcade challenges a day.

So glad I am swerving this until the inevitable EA Access.

Some good points made in some reviews but the scores not fully reflecting that. Feels like some of these reviewers bottled it, the scores seem too high.
Making a good video game isn't easy, but making a great game and deliberately fucking it up for some extra cash is just something else.
So what is arcade mode exactly? Seems like it is vs bots mode. Guess they wanted to limit getting credit a bit from winning against bots lol.
I feel like in the end though this will only negatively impact the game and drive customers and they won't actually make as much money.
But then again I actuallt have no idea just speaking from how I personally would come at this. I don't mind loot crates and even dropped a few bucks to get some in games like Halo 5 or Overwatch which are primarily cosmetic only but this is on another level as its almost entirely P2W in a 60$ game.
TBH though this isn't new for EA, they've been doing this with Ultimate team for years and that prints money for them, I think this implementation and the audience it caters too is completely different though and I think in the end its not going to work out well for them.
Metacritic score still on par with Shadow of War's 80. Both seem way too high still.
The new Pokemon on Friday won't have loot boxes and I'll be shocked if it musters a 75.

You know, it must be a monumentally shitty feeling being just your average person who loves video games and trying to make it or break it at a AAA studio, tinkering away on your Darth Vader character model, blaster particle effect, rock texture, UI line of code, or whatever else, and know your work as part of many is being totally undermined in publicity and play by your publisher. Easy to hand wave I guess; it is what it is, and nobody will rightly blame you for the product. But to see your positive contribution overshadowed by a negative whole would be the pits.
Not looking great. I'm not buying the game at launch for sure.
EA should start changing things. They ruined Mass Effect, they ruined and shut down Visceral, they launched an awful NFS game and they screwed Battlefront 2 with an atrocious progression system, all in one year.
