DON'T BUY THIS GAME!



It is all really sad because the game actually looks good to say the only positive thing first, it might not be that long term game, since the game is very simplified and made for a casual audience but then you have the fulltime job grind which is carefully adjusted by EA so that you are one of the few % who indulge in the profitable microtransactions, because it DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

This game is a psychological experiment and P2W construct to extract money from whales via microtransactions (or should i say macrotransactions?), neatly disguised in the shiny Star Wars pew pew license with super Graphics and you as player who just bought the $60-100 game have to indulge in a fulltime job like grind to gain gameplay upgrades and at the same time become the 'product' for the whales who buy all the crates they can get day to get all the upgrades and bash all the underequipped players on their paid powertrip. Right there they disqualify themselves, you simply don't put gameplay relevant upgrades into the progression. Evolve made that mistake and now we it here too and it's even worse because it's directly tied to a P2W system.



The point is how EA initially wanted to implement it 40h grind for 1 hero incentives left and right to participate in P2W microtransactions, after such a **** they surely make 'changes'. Probably some low effort number crunches to calm the masses of their gullible fanbase. These changes will be done to 'make the outrage outdated' (google that and read it, it's eyeopening). One of these changes was to reduce the cost of heroes by 75%, which is simply the 'Door-in-the-face technique. First the requirements are way too high, then they greatly reduce it to wash them clean again. It is all thought through and through and aimed to manipulate the gullible. They have a whole division of psychologists and focustest data so the know exactly how they can turn this to their advantage and come out on top.



EA has reached a new low, a new point of moral bankruptcy which is unforgiveable. I for one recommend to make a mark and don't buy this game, as even the purchase will support their holy grail, the 'Games as a service initiative' Where all the big AAA publishers are part of and try to poison a new generation of gamers with this lootbox/gambling/p2W/psychological manipulation filth. Games are starting to be built from the GROUND up to support and encourage microtransactions, Battlefront 2 is the new pinnacle of anti consumer, with Take Two and Activision coming right after.



But in the end it's all about the money and the publishers will bath in the money of all the whales and apathic fans who still buy it and just look away. This is their new target audience, this so called 'new generation of gamers', a mass of dumb gullible consumers who become a bait and 'Product' for P2W whales who wanna live their paid power trip. People need to wake up and boycott this game, EA has gone too far and it only gets worse from here.



So i give this game a 1 for the good Star Wars graphix and hope that DICE can become independend like CD Projekt Red and IO Interactive to show those greedy manipulative publishers the cold shoulder and make games without these restraints. Right now they are slaves for the devil.
