Star Wars Battlefront Was One of the Best-Selling Games of Both 2015 and 2016

Lightgun Galaxy: "Many fans saw EA’s Star Wars Battlefront (2015) as a massive flop that launched to disappointing sales figures. While this idea gained a lot of traction in a certain segment of the gaming community, it was never true."

So glad to be stuck going along for the ride as the "s**t for brains" masses keep throwing money at garbage like this.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

So when the masses buy more PS4s, they know what's best, but when they buy a game you don't like they are "sh$t for brains". Pretty much sums up the internet right there. Irony.

Playstation sold well because it was cheap and more powerful that's it

[_-EDMIX-_]

Agreed.

@Kry- "That's it" Nope.

So if PS4 had literally zero games, but was cheap and powerful, it would be moving HUGE units for people to simply look at it?

Why do people buy consoles bud? What is the main reason? Because its cheap? They buy it cause its a low price but never use it or? If you know WHY someone buys a console for, then you also know how your statement is 100% incorrect.

[T2X]

How about this? You don't buy it and people who like it will. See? How nice and easy that is. Or are you some hipster, neckbeard dufus, that thinks you're cool by not following the "Sheeple"? At this point, everyone knows exactly what to expect. And if you don't, shame on you.

COD still raped every other games and the haters keep saying COD is dead or dying the last 8 years. If i got a penny for everytime, every year people keep saying this....i would be a billian air by now. Yet, still sells TOO MUCH. COD will be best selling game ever year guaranteed, except the year a new GTA game releases of course. Only GTA can topple COD.

Addition to this. Shooters and sports game dominate consoles sales. Very happy with this. Don't like it then don't buy or play on Consoles. Proud to be a console gamer.

What ride are you stuck on, exactly?

If you don't like it you don't have to pay any attention to it.

[_-EDMIX-_]

? Why do you folks keep attacking consumers for having different views?

Buddy, if you don't like the game, that is fine. Nothing is wrong with not liking it, nothing is wrong for liking it.

It just is.

Relax bud, its really not that serious.

[Kurdishcurse]

Ahhh the gullible apologists. Cute...

[Kurdishcurse]

Agreed. Ignore the apologists that cant handle the fact that they are gullible enough to buy from EA. Keep supporting one of the cancers of the industry, that helped with the rise of microtransactions. Ill just smile knowing im smart enough to vote with my wallet. Microtransactions are only one small aspect of the giant f**k up that is EA.

[Ron_Danger]

I got it for "free" a few months ago. Got a $10 psn code so I bought it when it was $9.99 in a flash sale strictly for the VR mission. I haven't touched the regular game 😂

[Majin-vegeta]

I bought it on sale at GS with all the DLC for $40 then a week later it was dropped till $20 I returned mine unopened and got.it again for $20 lol

[Yui_Suzumiya]

That's sticking it to the man! XD

[Doopy]

Can't wait to play this on xbox scorpio at 4k/60fps and 4k textures.

[Artemidorus]

Not confirmed yet so wait until someone says something.

[corroios]

Wrong game, this isnt a racing game

[ninsigma]

4k textures?? Where are you getting that rubbish from??

[XMarkstheSpot]

Hoping they update BF1 with 4K textures as well

[krypt1983]

Confirmed aswell as rdr2 codww2 bf2 destiny 2 cant wait for the meltdown, sony is trying to strike deals to gimp scropio versions it's pathetic

[Ron_Danger]

Cry more about it... oh wait, you already did further down in these comments.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

I felt the game itself is fun but overpriced. If they had included the initial expansion available at launch in the base game price or included a campaign I would have been happier... or sold the base game for $30ish.

[Artemidorus]

Got myself the game over half price, very fun but limited, refused to buy the season pass too.

[SaltyyBae]

Good Job Sony getting marketing deal for BF2. Game will be HUGE.

[krypt1983]

Money wasted not only will it run and look better on xbox but they also get to play it 10 days early.

[SaltyyBae]

Will sell MUCH better on PS4, casuals will flock to ps4 version because that version will be advertised in stores. Huge posters and all that...sony played the cards right..

So yeah, stop weeping..

[ninsigma]

It was really fun to play in the end. I thought it would be crap but the vets sold me on it and I bought it as well as some friends of mine and we had a blast!

[ninsigma]

That would be beta, not vets!

[JEECE]

I wonder how many of the people who criticize this game for lacking a single player bought overwatch and ignored Titanfall 2. My guess is a lot.

[xxjabberxx]

I can't believe I at one point was thinking of wasting my hard earned money on this POS. If this game sold well,then EA games won't think twice about pulling the same crap again.

[shockwave4life]

And also the most disappointing game!!! It only sold on the Star Wars name alone, and the new movie came out at the same time PERIOD! The game was practically dead after a month cause it was a unfinished empty shallow barron game that got rushed out cause EA is the biggest joke company on the planet that doesn't give 2 shits about they're fans!!

[Tallpine]

Wow one of the best selling games. Imagine if they made a good battlefront, they would crush it.

[Kurdishcurse]

I just forgot ppl were dumb enough to buy the 1st game for full price. And then you get the thoughtless drones spoutint nonsense like "waaah if u dont like the game dont buy it" its like some people are too high on themselves to see how theyre screwing themselves over.

[REDGUM]

Was it one of the most "Returned to store" games as well in those two years?
It's all well & good talking up the hype for a new entry in the series but it has to live up to the demand of the gamers, coz if it doesn't it flops hard these days.
A strong campaign please. Not a tacked on one & nor a short one.
More depth to the MP too please. Although gorgeous to look at it felt too fast to me, COD style which took away from it. No need for squads really. Maybe its just me and like the teamwork in games . I'm holding back on a pre order for now. Show me you've put the time into this game & I'll buy it!!
