Laclipsey Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just give it till Battlefront III. There's no way Disney will let EA pull this loot box stunt again after all this bad publicity. Instead it'll be something even scummier, like tying your login to your credit card and charging you each time you want to play the game. Because EA. Quote Link to comment
ace Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well yeah, this was expected. And while this may have drawn a lot of ire from people online the vast majority don't give a damn and the game still made a shitload of money. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Likewise, episode 8 The Last Jedi had pretty bad audience scores but Disney doesn’t really care since it made decent money. I still question a Battlefront III happening though. Funny how it feels kinda preferable not to have one now even though it’s what everybody wanted during the LucasArts days. Quote Link to comment
ace Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think that's a fair comparison. Fans being salty man-babies over a movie is different than the awful business practices used in Battlefront. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Fair enough. I guess it’s just all coming around to me how Star Wars as a whole doesn’t feel that special anymore. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vg247.com/2018/03/20/star-wars-battlefront-2-take-a-look-at-the-updated-star-cards-unlocks-and-progression-systems/amp/ If this update of completely revamped progression system doesn’t redeem the game for people, I don’t know what will at this point. #notpay2win DICE has been doing everything they can to compensate, in spite of their corporate overlords.
