Same here. I mean, look at hardline peak players vs BF4.

Not surprising, though I actually think the arcadey design is preferable to my situation. Just a shame the hard deadline cut into the content as much as it seems.
I'm still expecting great sales, but the prime concern is the longevity of the greater community.
Bidding @ 78.

After getting to Rank 20, this is what I'm thinking.

I can understand people bitching about server issues or latency, etc. I know it's a bit hyperbolic but it's weird when quite a few people said "why even have a campaign?" for Battlefield a few years ago and then when Dice actually scratches it they get scorned for "lack of content"
Kind of reminds me of the old Miyamoto 4chan meme

The simplicity of it brings me back to playing splitscreen golden eye, night fire and battlefront when I was younger. Really liked that about the beta.
Sorry, completely flubbed - edited my post to fix.
It is actually correct on the website <.<
(I'm typing patch notes at the same time about ACG)

Just shows gamers don't need to be listened to honestly. Can't please everyone,make what you want to make and hope it sticksI can understand people bitching about server issues or latency, etc. I know it's a bit hyperbolic but it's weird when quite a few people said "why even have a campaign?" for Battlefield a few years ago and then when Dice actually scratches it they get scorned for "lack of content"

These are about the scores I expected. A good game with solid mechance and great visuals hampered by a lack of content and things to do.
The MP looks reallyawesome to me, but I find myself disappointed by the lack of a single player campaign. DICE is capable of crafting great single player experiences when the material they're working with is interesting (Mirror's Edge), so it's a shame we didn't get a Star Wars story from them.

Gotcha no probs
Whats weird is I still play Golden Eye and there is almost nothing whatsoever that feels similair between them. I think other than nostalgia but many of our lan group still play Golden Eye and jumped into Battlefront and this comparison doesn't even seem real.

Also people complaining about a lack of depth but then avoiding answering when asked to define what they mean by depth.I can understand people bitching about server issues or latency, etc. I know it's a bit hyperbolic but it's weird when quite a few people said "why even have a campaign?" for Battlefield a few years ago and then when Dice actually scratches it they get scorned for "lack of content"

This is one of those games that is going to be review-proof. As long as it gets at least average reviews (which early signs point towards), I don't think anything is going to stop this Star Wars train.
There are so many casual gamers that will eat this up and the stripped-down gameplay will actual connect with them more than more demanding titles.

I wonder if there was a trash campaing would it affect the review scores negatively or positively
Usually by depth they mean breadth lol

This game will sell tons and tons regardless of a low metascore. Just like I have pre-ordered for my son who has being dying to play again after the beta, many will buy just for that starwars experience that this game oozes even though the game will be short lived. I hope they support it well and release free maps.
Polygon provisional reviews don't go on Metacritic until they take of the provisional tag apparently. They've still yet to take off the provisional tag for Halo 5, which is three weeks old at this point.
Probably negatively. I think GTAV would have reviewed worse if the garbage multiplayer stuff was there on day one.
Apparently GTA Online is better now but it definitely had a rough launch.

And I think it would be very unprofessional to dock points for something that isn't there and wasn't intended on being there.

Possibly negatively. I still think they should have done one. Even if it ended up no better than battlefield 3. Oh well, looking forward to the visceral and bioware games that are coming from ea.

So these sites are just flipping the middle finger to the embargo? I hate embargos, hate them...But at least these sites should respect them and wait a whole 40 minutes if that's the publishers wishes....
Talk about a rush for clicks, Damn...
Meanwhile, waiting at Best Buy to pick this up, can't wait...

Ooooooo snap lol
Not at all. They didn't sign the agreement to go to a review event and be tied to an embargo and instead played it starting last Thursday on Xbox One with EA Access.
Kind of reminds me of the old Miyamoto 4chan meme
I'm in tears XD
I absolutely love this meme.
In the case of the Polygon review, they are not breaking embargo since they are only talking about their experience with the EA Access version on Xbox One. They didn't go to the review event and agree to EA's terms or something.

I wonder if a campaign of some kind would have made an impact on these scores.
