So no I'm not talking about PEW PEW. I'm on point when I'm talking game mechanics especially with FPS and fighters. However you feel about the overal package, this is a better playing game than before. Much better.

And all of that would have been praised and, coupled with the property AND the timing, this would have had all the hallmarks of a smattering of "GotY" awards and a guaranteed sales success... had it not been overshadowed by higer-ups more concerned with deep-dicking the bank accounts of the peons playing than just, you know, making a great game- or at the very least, one mostly improved over the last- and being done with it.

I wish I remember where the phrase came from, but: "not everything worthwhile is profitable, not everything profitable is worthwhile". I do agree that it is interesting to see EA having another corporation to answer to on this one.

While would enjpy a straight up conquest mode, I actually really enjoy the phases as well.

Note that I'm not advocating the loot box system they went with, only that it doesn't supercede my interest in the gameplay improvements. Nor am I ever interested in whatever industry accolades and GotY nonsense a game may or may not get. That's not even a thing in my posting history, what websites rate a game or metascores and profits and such. Not my concern. I still play Fall of Cybertron, ffs.

Boy howdy is the starting sniper rifle trash. 3 headshots to take someone down at just above medium range.

Holy shit, EA needs a new PR team.

"We pulled off on the MTX, because the real issue the consumer had was they felt it was a pay-to-win mechanic," he continued. "The reality is there are different types of players in games. Some people have more time than money, and some people have more money than time. You want to always balance those two."

(on loot boxes being cosmetic items)
Jorgensen was asked why that isn't the route EA and DICE pursued, and he claimed it comes down to issues of working with an IP that EA does not own. "The one thing we're very focused on and they're extremely focused on is not violating the canon of Star Wars," Jorgensen said. "It's an amazing brand that's been built over many, many years. So if you did a bunch of cosmetic things, you might start to violate the canon. Darth Vader in white probably doesn't make sense, versus in black. Not to mention you probably don't want Darth Vader in pink. No offense to pink, but I don't think that's right in the canon."

Like, jesus Christ, man.

It's our fault guys. We don't have enough money.

Cosmetics could disrupt the canon in the game where Darth Maul can fight on Hoth, and Rey can fight on Kamino.

Darth Vader was in SoulCalibur 4.

Neither. It's the controversy. Game itself is an improvement over the last game.

Love the idea of South Asians in space, tho.

Latest patch has increased the amount of credits given out, making progression quicker and more rewarding.

Also hearing microtransactions may not even come back.

Hope they like DLC packs making a return, because that's what EA will do to make up.

All Heroes and Villains unlocked, progression overhauled. Pay 2 Win progression is out the door.
