Ginko Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If the beta showcased the best of this game then I definitely won't be buying. Very boring and frustrating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteendhero Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I have ea access and have been playing this since Friday on a 10 hour trial must admit the hunt a hero mulitplayer is good as well as the part where you all play a hero and it's good vs evil until all the heros are dead. The X wing battles are a bit meh very confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very boring and frustrating. Why frustrating? Also only seeing two maps/a tiny glimpse of the weapons-unlocks ect isn't really enough to base a solid opinion on. Personally speaking I thought it played well, had nice combat mechanics & a sense of being in epic battles. I don't actually enjoy multiplayer games that much, only ones I've ever gotten into being BF 4 (gave up in the end due to all the bugs) titanfall (for a couple months) & the Halos.

Ginko Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Well, I did say if the beta showcased the best of this game, so if I didn't enjoy the so-called best of the game, why would I give the rest of it a chance? I'll wait for some reviews to come out and then base my decision on whether or not to buy on that. As for being frustrating, perhaps part of it is just personal to me, but I found myself dying too often, the shooting mechanics weren't anything special and my favourite bits (the ship sections) were too infrequent and short-lived when you ever did manage to get to an icon before someone else. Not to mention the controls were a pain in the arse and you only really flew around a small map and other than shooting a few other fighters out of the sky, there wasn't much to it. Admittedly I'm not much of an FPS multiplayer kind of guy though, so it's not really aimed at me. I'd much rather a new Rogue Squadron game. As I mentioned a few weeks back, a purely ship-based Star Wars game with online capabilities would be right up my alley. This game is just another boring shooter with a thin veneer of Star Wars nostalgia and fantasy tacked on; one which wore off pretty quickly for me.

I'm with you on FPS, basically every match is.....get shot in the back/shoot someone in the back....rinse & repeat, have played halo at a competitive level but the CoD's of this works just aren't my thing. Much prefer squad games like mass effect 3 ect im in two minds if I'm getting it myself, fallout 4 is still fresh & halo when I do play some MP.

Spend it videoing cats instead, much more interesting Anyway, I watch them at work, or when I poop because I'm interested in it, like you, so I learn about it, so I can see if I want it or not. Nothing like an uninformed opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2015 Get mine tomorrow but I'm not that excited about it. Thought they could have done a much better job than they have done from what I've played and seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Watched a few streams of this. Didn't tempt me at all. Got COD Blackops 3 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Gonna wait until the price drops which happens a lot with online only games. I've seen Titanfall, Evolve, Elder Scrolls and Destiny(vanilla) less than £20 quid around 4-6 months after release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2015 Getting pretty average reviews. Think I might try it for 10 hours on EA Access but, meh, not sure if I can really be bothered. Didn't enjoy the BETA at all really. So not sure if I will enjoy the full game.

Stevo985 Posted November 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2015 The only way I'll get this is if all the VT Trials/Rocket League crew get it and leave me with nobody to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Decent review; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDRqAIlaH-8 Think I'll wait until Xmas drop or £25 in game, like Hardline (I never did get round to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 My preorder cost £37.50 with free delivery, so I'm not even bothered if I only get a month or two of good playing out of it. I really enjoyed the beta, but maybe that's because I'm a Star Wars fan so I enjoy seeing Luke, Vader etc and using Star Wars weapons. I went into CEX on Friday to get rid of the new Assassins Creed, and the new COD was £50 in there! :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's a fun game, I think. I'll get it at some point, just not for £45 off the bat, plus the £40 premium (I get premium with Battlefield). You'll get your worth out of it, especially as you've just come from PS3, the raise in graphics/framerates will be outstanding for you and will justify it. Plus, you like SW, so you'll be fine. It's fun, simple fun. You can get good at it, and the people who are good at it will be going 50 kills, 10 deaths. The more casual people will be going positive, it doesn't really matter though, as long as you play for the objective :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Also, 4 main maps and only 11 guns is a bit of a kick in the bollocks for longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted November 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2015 Starting to regret paying £40 for this now. With Fallout and FM16 coming out in the last week + RL and Trials, I can't see myself playing this much. Maybe I'll be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2015 I mean, FOUR planets out of the SW universe that could have been used is a total insult. They could have made an iconic game out of this if they weren't such greedy bastards. Imagine if they had maps where you had battles on the Death Star like in Episode IV, proper space battles like you see in every one of the movies. The shit they've served up with this is a total insult IMO especially when it's an online only game. I'm actually angry I've bought this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
