I tried co-op. But as my partner was my four year old son, it was a little too tricky.

I'm getting better at it now I've dropped into 6v6 rather than 20v20.

I've got back into this and shelled out for the season pass. It's ace.

It's pretty good value now that the core game is virtually free to play.

November 11th, release date fans.

Dark side campaign, too!

Yay! I had thought from the trailer that it must have a campaign - about frickin' time.

The first game would have been brilliant if it had a campaign. I welcome this change.

The first game was superb even without it. They got the look and feel of the Star Wars universe spot on, and it was great to pick up and play for an hour or two. For me it had just the right level of complexity, without the need to spend days learning everything inside and out (Battlefield) to feel like you were getting the most from it, and neither did it have the manic hyperactivity of recent CODs.

A decent story mode will be a huge plus but I'd have bought it anyway.

Post subject:  Re: Star Wars Battlefront

The problem I had with the first one was that everyone else was better at it than me. It was very frustrating trying to play online when all I did was continually die.

But of course, that wasn't technically a problem with the game. ;)

Yeah, playing online shooters if you don't usually play them is absolutely fucking shite.

I'll pick this up when it's cheap, play through the campaign one weekend then stick it on ebay.

Ooooooh yes.




Totally stoked it has a proper SP campaign in it. And the MP is class based, and the weapons are customisable...

Post subject:  Re: Star Wars Battlefront

This is a great time waste for an hour. Lovely graphics, absolutely great sound effects and yakity yak and it's simple and easy enough to be disposable fun. But that's it. If you preordered this, purchased the season pass and paid, like, £100 for all the content, then you must be feeling pretty ripped off in retrospect.

But for the £3.49 I paid for it, it's the steal of the century! It's groovy fun and when I'm bored I'll probably just boot it up because it's reet plenty fun for a bit.

I'll be up for that. I'm on well over 100 hours played so I'm quite happy with my investment even at full price.

Although... if a AAA title from the early 90's cost £60 on cartridge format, that would be more than £100 in today's money.

I don't really see that being a problem. The perks aren't game changingly powerful, and the sort of people to whom that would make difference (and would shell out for the points) would likely have handed my arse to me anyway.

Post subject:  Re: Star Wars Battlefront

More Pay-To-Win talk. This is all stuff that traditionally unlocked for free in paid-for multiplayer games.

I wouldn't call a 100% damage reduction card when fully upgraded not 'world changingly powerful'.

There are going to be people on the map who are invincible for a period of time, and people who aren't, and the people who want that can spend money to get it. And that's just one card.

Free-to-play pay-to-win mechanics in a full price AAA game.

You can still unlock those cards, it just takes longer.

Quick question on Battlefront II :)

Is it a stand alone game or online or both?

Was thinking of getting it as my son loves Star Wars, having seen some trailers you can play as Darth Maul and the Emperor.

He is a bit young to play but will love watching and I'm hoping he will get into playing a bit

Don't want an full online game where I keep getting my arse kicked by 15 years olds though :DD

Both.

It's a PEGI 16, though.
