Many Early Access Star Wars Battlefront II players have encountered various unlocks that could take upwards of forty hours of play time to afford. EA chimes in.
Xbox Game Pass has some great single-player experiences, but nowadays, it's all about getting together with friends and family. Thankfully, there's a surprisingly extensive library of multiplayer titles on Game Pass to bring everyone together.
Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 coming? Well, the correct answer is yes, no and maybe. It’s been six years since the second instalment, and fans are still waiting for confirmation of another sequel.
Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.
The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.
From Xfire: "Stop if you've heard this one before - with all the unplayable buggy launches, rampant monetization, season passes, chunks of games being locked behind DLC paywalls, day one updates, always-online single player games, early access, lootboxes, massive patches, etc, games were so much better back in the eighties, or the nineties, or the oughties (pick whichever applies to your age bracket) right?"
Most definitely. Without a doubt.
The prices. DLC prices. Short stories. Less split screen gaming. Lesser amount of games are made these days because of the advancement of technology.
Everything is about graphics and resolution.
Yes, i still play a lot of old games for the first time and they are miles better than some new stuff is.
I feel like the market is changing a lot these days. Before it was about getting as much into the game as you could without blowing the console/computer up. Now that we have all this power and capability games take longer to make and there are way more steps. Prices go up because games get more expensive, the same thing with movies. But the experiences can be truly astonishing. No one who played Pong would have thought within 50 years they could play something like God of War. Of course, greed causes practices that are not liked by communities of gamers. Some companies have veered into such practices but some companies are maintaining a balance between profit and creativity.
There are pro's and con's but I don't think you can objectively say that gaming is better or worse than before.
Better and worse.
Most AAA releases are trying to figure out how best to nickel and dime you in the background. Even developing the entire game around that practice.
On the other hand, digital storefronts are now a big thing, allowing more smaller budget releases to be had, being they don't have to foot the cost of handling physical releases.
There's definitely more content to be had then ever.
Essentially the AAA space has become cancer in a lot of ways. I'm not talking every release, or even every company, but with all of the season passes, the dlc that boosts player progression in competitive titles, and now the retail price hikes being pushed on people .... it's obvious these companies are getting more greedy, year after year.
Yes and no. Yes in that it's annoying to have all this DLC/microtransactions in games and forced multiplayer that's hot for about a minute before something new and shiny comes out.
No in that, there are a lot of good games coming out and I have a comfortable backlog that should keep me entertained for quite some time. I never have an issue of what to play next.
I think it's a great time to be a gamer and if you don't have anything to play, you're not looking hard enough.
EA I wished you weren't the worst gaming company in the world right now.
What more do you expect from this company? They are nothing but shit. Most of thier franchises are crap, including a football game that hasn't changed in years.
Good thing I have 2000 dollars laying around. I’m not doing that time, no way in hell.
EA makes activision seem like a paragon of virtue.
Hahahahaha......... EA. I can't even see a headline involving them anymore without genuinely bursting out in laughter. lol Get f**ked EA.
