Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is An EA Disaster

As Battlefront 2's release date approaches on Nov. 17, The Lobby crew attempts to decipher the many predatory practices at play in the upcoming shooter.

Go gamespot rip on EA real good.

Frankly, I am surprised Gamespot articulated these points against EA's game. Glad they did. Be curious what their review score will be. If it gets an 8 it is just a sham especially considering the game is so hobbled by their progression system.

It's a shame because underneath the loot crate box there's a great game from what I've seen

If only they let thier creative side have the upper hand rather than their GREED. i am kind of glad they did it with a star wars game because if it were any other game it would have slipped through case in point need for speed payback hardly anyone is talking about speed cards ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

It's the worst. I'm on my 4th commercial in a row and it never plays the actual clip i clicked on. WTF? I've ended up hating gamespot because of it.

This is a good step for gamers making their voices heard. Keep it up people.

lol I love how Gamespot suddenly cares about gaming and gamers and the industry despite all their paid reviews and normal bullshit. Good point, of course, but they are as guilty of shitty journalism as IGN and the other big money news sites. Fake ass pieces of shit lol.

I've honestly been really impressed with the games media on this title. I (like many others, I'm sure) figured that the bigger sites would ignore the issues with MTs and give the game high ratings anyway, and only smaller outlets would rate the game accurately. Fortunately, I was wrong, because while EA is often accused of not caring what anyone thinks, they do care about getting bashed by major outlets and taking the resulting Metacritic hits.

Heck, Kotaku even investigated the EA dev claiming to have gotten death threats and found out he doesn't even work for EA.
