I did admittedly like the first Battlefront reboot KINDA, I was more excited to play a gorgeous modern Star Wars game but was let down with

i feel there should never be exclusive rights for game companis with star wars, this way we could get multiple games from multiple 1/2

Don't forget that Disney approved everything EA did, and even forbid EA from adding cosmetics in place of many lootboxes.

But then everything changed when the microtransactions attacked

There was a significant drop in quality before microtransactions tho

This game. Man the memories.

The medal of honor allied assult series was revolutionary in my eyes, remember spending months making maps for MP when i was 14!!
ManMashine
Did some maps too but for Quake III Arena. Heaps of fun. Always wanted to try the other Quake3 engine games too.
vonsmall
BF1942 mapper here. Best years of gaming.
skillerious
It really was, still play MOHAA and bf1942 occasionally with bots bit its not the same.
Irishda
They still are. They make a lot more games than people expect. The internet just likes to focus on the negative stuff
Irishda
Shit, even Bf2 was blown out of proportion considering that was just to unlock ALL heroes and considering how much time they play skyrim
Jarjarthejedi
40h to get Vader alone in a full price game was not blown out of proportion...
Irishda
Which I'd take a lot more seriously as a complaint if you guys didn't talk about playing Skyrim for 5000 hours
Jarjarthejedi
Ah yes, because an expansive immersive massive world with hundreds of quests and a multiplayer FPS are identical gameplay experiences. :P /s
maathimself
No they're not, they charge full retail price for a game with free-to-play pricing design, and buy exclusive licenses so no one can compete.
Udesi
2K football
Irishda
Right except for the times they don't, because as both developer and publisher, the list of games they've made is a lot longer
Jarjarthejedi
6 games in 2017 is not a long list, and none of them were good. Which of their sports sims redeems BF2?
Irishda
Developed or published cause they do both
Irishda
Published or developed cause they do both
Jarjarthejedi
In 2017 they released 6 games and 3 expansions. 3 games were generic annual sports releases, the others were Andromeda, BF2, and NfS Payback
Jarjarthejedi
Andromeda was an obvious beta release, Bf2 was explotative as could be, and Need for Speed Payback has awful reviews atm.
Jarjarthejedi
What games did they make that redeem their quality?
Arcon157
In a perfect world the rights would go to Nintendo but I doubt they would ever spend that much for an IP since they have so many good ones.
gtmiller
Nintendo would never do that. Its too much to invest in someone else's idea. Valve would be the best option.
DarthFutuza
Nintendo isn't the right fit either, I don't think they'd handle the Star Wars IP very well. It'd be better not to make it exclusive & 1
DarthFutuza
2 allow any developer to get a Star Wars license provided they meet certain criteria and follow Disney's guidelines.
Florky
I would bet Activision if they can intrude on battle.net. could get star wars stuff in overwatch then to if they can get a good deal.
snarkycomment13579
My friend suggested CD Projekt Red. Imagine a Witcher 3 style KOTOR.
thesolamnus
So Cyberpunk without sabers?

chucknasty
Unpopular opinion: BF2 is one of the funnest games I’ve played, both story mode and multiplayer, and I haven’t spent a dime
n01looking
Assuming you meant BattleField Bad Company 2. Or Original Battlefront 2. Or Banjo Fazooie 2 (misprint cartridge maybe?)
RayMC
I agree. And despite how bad EA might have acted, I cant NOT enjoy the game because of that. It's a good game, and nothing is changing that.
nonCanadianGoose
You’re not wrong, story mode was pretty good. Disney doesn’t like bad press when they’re launching a film.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
...story mode? Each to his own I suppose, but the story mode was atrocious. What did you like about it?
chucknasty
I liked being able to play as Han, Luke, Leia and especially Lando. The ‘story’ was ok but the gameplay was great
littlelum
BF1 was worst game I ever played and I spent $65 so won't be attempting BF2 even if free.
chucknasty
DarthFutuza
What was wrong with it (monetization issues excluded) from a purely gameplay mechanics point of view?
PowderBill
Only problem I had was lack of content. No single player, not enough modes or maps. I wasn't kept interested long enough for dlc.
PowderBill
Second one has better multiplayer, but the single player is one long tutorial for game mechanics and nothing to write home about.
PlatypusPlatypus
Did I miss something? Has Disney stepped in on Battlefront?
theGildedDanMan
Technically battlefront was a result of Disney.
Trunkmonkay
No, its all unverifiable bullshit from completely anonymous sources. Ive got an anon who says EA is going to launch Disney World into space.

SuperMonkeyBall

sowillo
There was last week some news, Disney had a clause in the contract and EA did not keep to those clauses. hasnt been said what they were tho
foofypoops
"Don't fuck this up."
Draegos1
Yes, but don't get too excited. If they do drop EA, it'll only be to sign another exclusive deal with Ubisoft, or Activision.
Draegos1
Basically trading one immoral, incompetent evil empire for another one.
eggmuffin
Yes, but that was months ago. I'm not sure what OP is referring to.
metsu12
They did in the past. They were the ones who came in and told EA to cut the crap with the loot boxes.
Beezlebubble
But EA recently stated they are bringing them back to make up for lost sales.
metsu12
Bizay
Naw, they stated that loot boxes were coming back eventually when they initially pulled them.
Goronhead
"lost sales" that they caused with their own bullshit.
Beezlebubble
Never said it wasn't their fault (absolutely is), just relaying the info.
Goronhead
Oh yeah, didn't mean to imply that, just reinforcing that EA fucked themselves over by being idiots.
OctopusOccult
There was a meeting between them. Nothing disclosed, nothing has changed. The internet and every gaming journal is jumping to conclusions.
nonCanadianGoose
Rest assured it’s a meeting EA didn’t want to be in.
OctopusOccult
I can hope abd pray, but i don't invest in futures.
Shigbeard
Disney told EA to make Battlefront 2 not a disaster. EA made it a disaster. Disney told EA to remove lootboxes. EA temporarily disabled them
Midwinters
They didn't disable loot boxes, just the crystal microtransactions
Shigbeard
Now disney is sick of EA's shit.
TZO2k15
EA Supports "borderline" gambling in/for their games and disney is a heavily family-oriented company...So...
Kennator64
the whole lootboxes =gambling thing bugs me because it's basically (sometimes literally) ccg packs done virtually. iI agree that they 1/2
Kennator64
need regulation to some extent, but people seem to be jumping the gun slightly. Extra Credits on YouTube has some good content on it. 2/2
ThrobbinHoodz
I got an email from EA offering me 85% off selected games (Didn't look) mfw:
TeenageMutantNinjaAbortedFetuses
The ps store has BF2 60% off lol
SilverTimeMaker
I got two of them, didn't even opened them
Rossovich
You guys realize that February is always EA sales month, right?
ThrobbinHoodz
Nope! But 85%? That's crazy good. I just don't support them anymore. Feel they gotta learn
Rossovich
I mean yeah, that's an insane sale, even higher than those Winter Sales. I won't lie, I own a few EA games. I have to REALLY want it.
BahamaTalyx
I caved and bought Battlefield 1 cause it was $10.
olderbrotherofsnagglepuss
It’s great game, you got a bargain
ThrobbinHoodz
Ah I never liked it. Was missing something :(
olderbrotherofsnagglepuss
Online or single player? The single player was garbage, I still play online quite a lot though
socieskt
shame on u
BahamaTalyx
IT WAS A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS
Rossovich
I bought it recently too! I need to get more into it if you need a Squadmate ;) Loved BF3, and BF1 looks solid.
lorcan0c
I got a similar one. It said "75% off! (That's a big number!!)" Gee, thanks for spelling it out for me, ya condescending jackasses.
UnknownSquid
EA is all about those numbers. They like nothing more than big numbers. Blind to literally everything else though.
IZ42
Yeah, being sassy with deals only works if people like you. Steam could do it, EA could not.
alman1234
EA is a scumbag publisher second only to Ubisoft
hyndsketchup
Is Ubisoft really worse than EA?
RayMC
Damn! That's some Steam level discounts. www.gabegaming.com
EverydayIsLegDayBecauseImRunningFromMyProblems
Ive found that steam sucks. Ive always found better deals at CDKeys. Bought Division for $22 vs $30ish. BF2 is $48 atm. Ive not see better
EverydayIsLegDayBecauseImRunningFromMyProblems
I wanna play BF2 but only if it comes for $20 to $30 CAD. I hope thats soon.
Rossovich
There's a reason Kinguin/CDKeys can sell them so much cheaper than Steam, but Steam is great on its own.

Yes, there are rumors Disney will pull EA’s license for Battlefront and that they also have spoken with Ubisof and Activision to pick it up.

i think out of those two, activision would be THEIR (disney) best bet. casual gamers loooooove activision products.

Give Star Wars to CD Projekt Red!
TheRedTerran
They're busy.
SaltyJake
Instead of selling the rights to a major conglomerate. Bring back Lucas Arts and sell of rights on an individual bases. Examples: /1
SaltyJake
CDProject red develops essentially KOTOR 3. Bethesda handles an open world RPG (not specifically Jedi centric). Handle it project by projec
MindOfMobius
gross.
Siderz
Make a deal with Insomniac, they know what they're doing with the Spider-Man game.
umwht
I thought it was the entire Star Wars license in general that may be pulled?
Cogrum
Yeah I meant Star Wars license.
Natatha
Yes. I believe he meant, "license pulled because of Battlefront."
davidattenbruva
For all their dev faults, Ubisoft have a decent habit of writing interesting and indepth stories. So i'm excited for this.
chad57
Habit my ass.
MindOfMobius
explain ass creed.
davidattenbruva
I actually enjoy those stories. The gameplay is hit an miss, however Syndicate and Unity were all terrible all the time.
pancreas
They also tend to actually make interesting, original games once in a while.
davidattenbruva
They jump out of the mould every now and again. Sometimes it works, some times it fails hard, but they try.
pancreas
(2)I almost feel like they use their 'cash cow' games to offset the risks of creating new games, rather than just making more money like EA.
davidattenbruva
Hey, if it allows them the financial freedom to step out of their comfort zone once and a while I'm all for it.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Have you fucking played Wildlands? It was written by a 12 year old that watched an action movie

Nah, I stayed away from that one, just didn't interest me.

You made the right call. Started out well, and then it just took an "America fuck yeah" turn
JackHarknessNerdySidekick
Make a deal with blizzard. Star wars skins in overwatch
skeletonsimpleton
Fuck blizzard
Nerubin
Activision and Blizzard are literally one and the same company.
badthaught
As a Canadian. Fuck blizzards.
pancreas
oh boy more loot boxes!
JackHarknessNerdySidekick
Yeah!
TheGirlInTheFireplace
Give the license to Bethesda. Sure it'd be a bit buggy but in a fun way. And we'd get a massive open world. Just imagine it.
williamshakesbeer
Give it to the team that made doom
XenosGuru
No more open world bullshit. Not everything needs an open world
RareGoomba
We need an open world to find where your sense of wonder went dawg
XenosGuru
I’d play it... if I had TIME FOR ANOTHER OPEN WORLD GAME HOW MANY WORLDS DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EXPLORE!?!?
MindOfMobius
give it to a smaller dev with no history of being shitty.
Bibidybob
The only devs with no history of being shitty are the ones with no history.
MindOfMobius
I should actually correct myself and not say devs, the publishers are really the problem.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Can't say I've ever had a bad experience with CD Projekt Red
Octwo
They would implement a paid mods system and keep 80% of the profit on sales.
Roushfan5
That was a shitty move by Bethesda, but honestly 99% of that was just poor implementation. *And* they kept the free mod page as well. 1/2
Roushfan5
That pales in comparison to the like of Ubi, Activision, and EA.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Please no. I loved Bethesda, I really did. But they've gone to shit. There is no excuse for fallout 4
TheGirlInTheFireplace
What was wrong with Fall Out 4? It wasn't as good as 3 and NV, but I still enjoyed it.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Same issue I have with previous titles, but worse. Let me preface this with, I'm a big fallout fan
HolyCringeLordBatman
their animations look like they weren't designed by an intern. Not to mention this iteration of fallout was a DLC nightmare. Bethesda DLC
HolyCringeLordBatman
fix issues nearly three years into a games life cycle. It would be fantastic if at any point in the studio's existence they tried to make
HolyCringeLordBatman
used to be fantastic, now we have a fucking workshop selling pipboy color changes.
HolyCringeLordBatman
I'm so fucking sick of Bethesda's lazy ass releasing broken products and never fixing them. I shouldn't need an "unofficial patch" to
Armouredfalcon
As much as I hate EA, neither of those companies would be any better. Well, mostly ubisoft. But you'll get a CoD copypaste with activision.
borgmaster
Ill just see if theres a skin mod for my current version then.
uchytjes
Ubisoft can do good. Really, their biggest problem is their DRM and bloatware on PC, but they've improved quite a lot after AC took a break
ydwyrd
It was only two years between the release of Syndicate and Origins, that's not much of a break, most franchises go that long between games.
uchytjes
Its not, but the fact that they improved the quality by so much in that little time is evident of how much better they've been doing.
Zaayl
Nah, activision doesnt turn their liscenses into CoD...they just dont give them a reasonable budget.
Zaayl
Every Acti game that isnt CoD or destiny always feels so...cheap.
Armouredfalcon
to be fair, pretty much all the CoD games since CoD4 also feel cheap...
2Ghoul4School
Funny, I feel the same, but with activision. Mostly due to their cunt of a CEO, Bobby Fuckin Kotick.
CreedKeeper
Eh, Ubisoft’s improved as of late. Certainly not models, but they’ve done more to improve their rep than a lot of other major publishers.
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
I hope you like being only able to play it through UPlay and it being bundled with 8 types of DRM that they'll later say don't work
ovelanimimerkki
Ubisoft means I either have to play on console or install uplay, and I'm not installing uplay so...
malachitedragon
Better than EA continuing to shit into a strainer, plop it onto a plate, then serve it with a $50 price tag (not including DLC)
pancreas
I actually like Ubisoft. They seem to try to encourage microtransactions by making fun games rather than gambling simulators.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Or they could take a fucking note from Capcom and release a full fucking game
xaviouswolffe
Eh... after Capcom did it's part in killing off megaman I'm not too fond of them either.
RogueVector
Ubisoft promises a lot, doesn't deliver, but has amazing followup (see The Division and R6:Siege)
HolyCringeLordBatman
Wild lands was a lukewarm disappointment, the division was a flop. R6 is a microtranscction shithole.
ALegendaryHero
The division STILL isn't to where they said it would be on launch.
RogueVector
True, but with 1.8, Resistance and new maps for free, I'd say I'll give it a pass. Its still a fun game.
warriorofdiscord
Well, take what they say with a grain of salt and look at what's been made. Is it good? Is it fun? That's all you need to worry about.
SunBrolem
And For Honor.
CourtWizard
No, the followup wasn't good enough or fast enough. Should've happened in the first month.
