From what I am hearing we are indeed looking at 75-80. But there are a couple outliers that I can never guess.
That being said its hilarious that as soon as you can the first thing you do is start removing armor as you level up. Pretty soon some of these dudes and chicks are gonna look like Frank Franzetta paintings
LOL I joke about the blind teaching drivers ed Stormtroopers are lite affairs for me

Alright alright we aren't going to do this here guys lol. While I can spend hours shooting laser guns at troopers. Others can spend 100 hours picking up whatever they find "value"

I can see it settling around 76 due to the lack of depth
Was talking to some coworkers about the game today... one of them made a great point: "Is it really so bad to have a very casual shooter with awesome presentation?"
I'm expecting upper 70s for the OpenCritic average, maybe lower 80s. (Edit: Ok, I think lower 80s).
But I honestly hope that the reviews don't bash the lack of depth too much. Yes, it's probably not the 20+ hour experience for a core gamer, but it might be for a casual one just looking for some fun.

Yeah, I will play enough matches to get my money's worth (value). I have no doubt about that. The fact that it nails Stars Wars, it's fun to play and looks absolutely gorgeous helps as well.

About not taking things seriously? I could tell you about calming down and easing up. But you seem to enjoy being all tight and bound up. So I will just point to the nearest section with fiber in your local supermarket.
This game looks fun to me and I'm looking forward to it. Then again, I also loved Titanfall, which people also said lacked content and got boring. For me that game was always exciting for me and keeps me replaying it every once in a while. Then again, maybe it's cause I'm older and don't have as much time to play games.
I am not into Battlefield or Call of Duty though, so hope the game is a lot different from those.

So, I'm at Best Buy for the midnight launch...They give away a free POP figure with purchase...My Best Buy got 4 total figures to give away....
I got Boba Fett, I could have picked a storm trooper...If you're planning on getting one of those, good luck...

I think many many will. Its going to be one of those games were people can REALLY fall on some odd value with the title. I mean even if someone gets only 10 hours of fun. Thats 6 bucks an hour. Not shabby really.
I think a lot of people enjoyed Titanfall when it came out for what it was. No harm there.
POP?
Are those the chibi looking figures?

Yeah, that's a positive in my book too.
The lack of proper party integration is that major point keeping me away. But my buds are getting it, so I'll hear how it works soon enough.
Hell, I have paid $60 for worse and still had a good time. Games like The Order come to mind. At least this has the replay value of a multiplayer title and a killer Star Wars hook.
How is a lack of variety a positive?
Karak

Yep I hear you. Its a very unique title in that way. I don't mean in content or anything but in the fact that it offers a MASSIVE IP name, with easier than normal mechanics. Not a bad set of traits.
Who? And did he qualify it as that reason?
Yeah honestly this is what I loved about Battlefront 2. No configuration and you just pick from preset classes and play online. It was simple but I felt it was fun and very skill based. I also love stuff like Goldeneye and Nightfire as well, I sort of miss simplistic shooters.

Having loads of options/killstreaks/customizable weapons isn't automatically a plus for some people. Especially if free time is at a premium.

I adored me some Battlefront 2. Strange that it had so much more than this when it came to different types of gameplay when you break it down.

Probably just wants something simple to jump into?
Don't have to worry about a bunch of different mechanics, stats etc. some people just want simple fun sometimes
If they played the PS4 version they would need to dock it .5 points for being almost too fluid.

Jesus Christ that quote.
Except others do it on game modes that aren't limited to 4 maps......the amount of content is abysmal for a multiplayer only shooter.
Nah you need to wait until Arthur hears anecdotally that maybe the PS4 version is performing worse first. Maybe.
OT damn like 50 people at this best buy lined up for this game. Never seen this.
Yeah. Pretty awful.
That quote doesn't sound like a 6/10.
If you're going to completely shit on the game, give it a score that matches it.
All I needed to know, heeeeyooo.

I wonder how many reviews we'll get by people who don't like or have disdain for Star Wars in general? It's like asking someone who doesn't like shooters to review Battlefield.
If said variety is fluff, filler or very minor variations of specific element. It can be diluting.
He's from Giant Bomb, and he'll most likely be the one reviewing it for the site.

Different strokes, different blokes. I'll have fun with it until my next game(come on gravity rush remaster/digmon cyber sleuth)
I think he means that this one is easier to get into and is not quite as balls to the wall competitive as other multiplayer games. Which is something I also find to be a nice change of pace, as I already have Black Ops III and Halo for that kind of experience.
Ah didn't realize that. Kind of a pitty IMO. I hope I like one of the modes in this enough to keep replaying it. I saw there is a mode kind of similar to classic Battlefront with the capture points and all. Sad about no campaign though. I also will miss spawn points.

IDK, I've always viewed 6-7 as the domain of 'Fans of this franchise/genre/etc will like it, normal people won't'. Sounds like that review just thinks its' hollow fanservice.
