I have to disagree. It just didn’t look that appealing to me. Combat was slower than I’d like and I didn’t really get a Star Wars vibe from the setting.

[sampsonon]

really the only difference between the both of your opinions is THEY PLAYED THE F ING GAME!!! LOL

:)

[PhantomS42]

A small vertical slice, remember when journalists were saying Battlefront 2 was also great? Getting to play a demo means nothing.

[sampsonon]

@PhantomS42 it means more than not playing it at all. lol
fuk what's wrong with people?

[RpgSama]

I don't even care how good the game will be, it can be the best game ever made in the history of videogames and I will still not buy it, I'm sorry for Respawn but I will never buy another EA game anymore after the "Surprise Mechanics" fiasco.

[DaDrunkenJester]

But this game wont have any surprise mechanics...

So all you're doing is showing EA that even if they do a SP only game with no Lootboxes that they still cant earn your purchase. So they may as well not bother making them, right?

[RpgSama]

@DaDrunkenJester

In a way you are correct, I was of the same way of thought as you before, buying the SW game as a way of me saying that this is what I want out of EA, games with no Loot Boxes, but after the Surprise Mechanics remarks and how they think they're "Quite Ethical and quite fun" for me EA it's dead, it's not even an issue about a specific game having loot boxes and others not having them, it's about the company as a whole, I will not give my money again to EA as a company.

[sampsonon]

i wish you would add not writing in EA articles to your list as well.
i mean why stop at not playing anything EA when you can avoid everything EA by not clicking?

[RpgSama]

@Sampsonon

I'm making my opinion known without insulting anyone's else, if you want to buy this and every other EA game, be my guest, it's your money and you can definitely do whatever you want with it.

[DaDrunkenJester]

I can respect that Haha I dont blame anyone for calling it quits in total for EA

[Jin_Sakai]

Good for them. It still doesn’t change how it looks.

[CrimsonWing69]

It’s a start. This was actually one of my favorite showings at E3 and I hope all those bigoted games’ urinalists out there, who wrote articles bashing the main character because he was white, will eat their words.

[sampsonon]

someone bashed the character because he is a white male? can you link me more than one opinion from a repeatable site?

i thought people didn't like that he is a ginger.

[sampsonon]

ok, i see where you're getting this from. so a few people on twitter said they would like either a none white male or customization for the character so t represents them.

First thing is, why not make a game that one can customize the character?
also, people complaining on twitter are allowed to have opinions that are based on their life experience. not yours.
I agree with the sentiment that moves, games ect . should have room for diversity because these games are now worldwide and why not, from time to time, have some diversity?

now there s the other side which i understand as well. when a people have grown up mostly only seeing themselves represented it's understandable that change or a call for change will be threatening to them.
so i respect your feeling attacked by society, if you're a white male, because like coal mines white male representation is 70-30% instead of yesteryear's 95%.

i made a video about this, well a few, but this one will give you a different perspective perhaps. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[CrimsonWing69]

Oh right, my bad, game media editors on Twitter makes it fine to publicly bash the character because of his skin color.

[sampsonon]

@CrimsonWing69: and what do you think women and people of colour have been putting up with all the time when people say things like " the media is shoving coloured people and women down our throats" this is what we've been putting up with for years.

lol the irony.

i mean, don't you get it? star wars having a female lead and a black first order trooper almost ended the world.
anytime a none white person gets a lead in a game or movie the hordes come out and bash the movie or game. captain marvel, rey, fin. it's funny when the shoe is on the other foot the same people that cry about not beng represented cry because others feel the same way when it's the other way around. at least the people of colour and women have a real grip because of how badly the lack of representation was and still is.

what's your excuse? 90% of everything isn't enough?

name 5 none white protagonist in AAA games in the last 2 yrs? ill wait.

[yomfweeee]

@sampsonon

1) Having character customization takes resources and maybe they didnt want to spend on those. Most single player driven games don't offer that.
2) The game is canon. It makes sense for the main character to not be customizable.

I won't get into your other SJW bull.

[sampsonon]

the only people that talk about SJW's are people that want the world to be white males all the fuking time.

jesus christ.
I personally could care less. but when all i hear is " they are shoving diversity down our throats" it makes me ashamed to be a part of this community.

95% of all media is geared towards white males and i lived with that my whole life. i only start giving a fuk when the people that dominate the media (white males) recently started crying because a character is not like them. whether it be a woman or a person of colour. and get this, they say they can't relate to a none white male character.

the fuking irony

[yomfweeee]

Uh no, I'm talking about them because I'm responding to you, who is acting like one.

[AnubisG]

I just hope that it will not have surprise mechanics.

[Lon3wolf]

Nope no surprise mechanics, now we have cash cubes.

[AnubisG]

Too agressive and to the point.
Let's see....🤔

How about, Wonder Cubes? Or to be a bit more Euro; Wönder Cubes.😁

[Lon3wolf]

Lol

[Thundercat77]

The main character is very uninspiring. I hope it turns out to be good but from the looks of it, I'm not sure.

[DaDrunkenJester]

I'm not going to shit on it just because it is an EA game. I love Respawn so I'm keeping myself open to the fact it could be a great game.

I actually really liked the gameplay I saw, it had some problems here and there, but nothing that cant be worked on a bit... referencing attack speed, aggression of enemies and such. Those are things that can be altered fairly easy.

[SyntheticForm]

"I'm not going to shit on it just because it is an EA game. I love Respawn so I'm keeping myself open to the fact it could be a great game."

Yeah, I completely agree with this. Respawn shouldn't be scorned simply because EA is publishing; they're a great team and have made some solid games.
