I see we've got at least one or two EA shills who've joined the discussion. Oh goody.
You, sir or madam, are incorrect.I see we've got at least one or two EA shills who've joined the discussion. Oh goody.
I have provided pretty level praise and criticism of this game. There are a ton of people who have come out and ripped this game without even trying it and are blatantly using SWBF2 as a punching bag. I am not a fan of people buying wins, but I am not convinced that this game will return to the prelaunch system either. There is a really good Star Wars game here and I encourage people to at least rent it.
I play EA games and dont make in-game purchases. Am I accepting abuse?
Are you twelve years old? The whole point is that this stuff should be directed at adults only. If you are an adult, you can do whatever you want. But a child buying something like Battlefront 2 doesn't have the mental capacity to understand what they are being subjected to, how they are being manipulated nor the psychology behind the in-game purchases that involve games of chance.
In the case of the hypothetical child outlined above, where do their parents and the very feature-rich parental controls consoles have come into play?
The problem here is that you are getting "Adults Only" content with a "Teen"/"Mature" label on it. Sure the parents need to be watchful, but parental controls wouldn't do much if the content is mislabeled. When I bought my niece the movie "Shrek", I didn't check to see if the manufacturer had put a porno in the box.
Just to be clear, you are saying loot boxes in games is like Dreamworks slipping porno into Shrek? Also, how do see kids evading parental controls and having revenue to make in-game purchases?
That is actually a gross exaggeration . BF2 is fully functional out of the box. So is Battlefield 1 and FIFA and Titanfall 2. Saying a Skate game would have skate decks without wheels is a sensationally inaccurate representation of loot boxes.
Has EA released a game so incomplete that it is unplayable without micro transactions? What makes you think EA would do this over say Activision or Ubisoft?
So, you think EA is targeting 12 year olds who buy their own games and are flush with cash to the point they can be preyed upon to give up said cash on virtual loot boxes?
I must be dreaming that I have played an unplayable game for 10 plus hours this week....
We could debate the difference between unplayable and shitty system but I suspect you may find something else wrong with this game that you have already played a bunch of to come to these conclusions. Just out of curiosity, how much have you played it?
So, you have characterized a game you have not played as unplayable with a shitty system. Pro tip: if you say something is unplayable, try playing it first.
Ok. What is a good system?
The big gubernment strikes again! Dont tell me what to do!
Did you know there are class specific crates that have cards in them and you can also craft cards?
The system is like the first one in many ways. I honestly care more about those Battlefield/Battlefront moments. I also like the system promoted experimentation with new weapons and that often opens up new ideas for approaches to combat.
I agree. So you are opposed to the ridiculous statement by the representative from Hawaii?
