The problem is the game wasnt meant to be played that way.... Finding a glitch in the game and exploiting doesnt make you skilled by any means...........If that kind of thing even matters anymore to this generation of gamers

Wow, how quickly Kotaku has gone down hill since the editor-in-chief left...what kind of crap is this?

Yea, there's nothing wrong with a glitch that let's you become invincible during PVP. Seriously?

one of the most important aspects of a game's online mode is that it be balanced. whether or not the devs do a good job of that is another story, but by using glitches and exploits in online games, you're essentially upsetting the balance of the game and ruining it for everyone else who doesn't go that route.

What's wrong is you're playing with/against real people. You can have all the fun you want (cheating, goofing around or otherwise) with the product you spent your money on, but the second you start affecting MY experience and the world around the rest of the gamers, that's your queue to trade in that XP for some common sense.

I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.

TheColbertinator824d ago

The updates felt flimsy to me also. Stopped playing in 2021.

This game got a huge update last year didn't it with more content?

PapaBop825d ago

They promoted it as an expansion yet offered like 3-4 hours of content. The game is amazing and easily one of the best Star Wars games ever made but content drops are so few and far between.
