Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) Megathread [Closed Alpha]

All of the dlc being free surprised me, it's just so not-EA. Also nice to see them actually listening to the criticism they got from the first game such as having a decent amount of content and singleplayer now.

They said everything was unlockable without using micro transactioans which is fine - cases?

So it's the Overwatch Lootbox approach then which I'm 200% fine with btw. It all just means any meaningful gameplay content like modes, maps, characters, etc.will be available to all players for free via updates.

Its confirmed it will be pure cosmetics, nothing really pay to win

Even the pre order establishes that

The forget was the point of the first one if they were just gonna make this way better version anyway?

It's been pissing me off how many games forget up the first time around in new ips. We know the sequel will be better but you lost like half your customers because first impressions matter.

Examples are: Watch_Dogs, The Crew (?), Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, For Honor, The Division, Titanfall, Star Wars Battlefront, Destiny, and Mass Effect Andromeda (whole new galaxy/characters).

Yeah, for real. Titanfall has a special place in my heart and I know EA forgeted them with their TF2 release date, but the first game was kind of lacking in content for a $60 game. It's good that they got a second chance but their opener forgeted their reputation. Same with For Honor. As if being published by Ubisatan isn't enough, the game had pants-stufftingly horrible connection problems that killed the population after the initial release. For Honor 2 is going to be plagued by connection lost memes, and it will be well deserved. Don't even get me started on Destiny. It's gotten to the point where you're better off letting the 1st game play out without buying it and just wait for the inevitable sequel which will fix everything and feel like it should've been released first. Maybe it's cause the development teams were given limited resources initially but still, jesus.

I will not buy this if they do not include the "WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS" line

I'm honestly getting loving pissed with these titles
not only are they literally just giving them the exact same name as the previous ones but ALSO you can't abbreviate it without getting the stuff confused with ANOTHER, CURRENT series from the SAME PUBLISHER
