          As a game, it fails on a per hour economic basis then. That's $11.80 per hour of entertainment. No deal. You shouldn't be supporting companies who pull this crap. Go put the money towards a Switch console and go play Zelda or Mario Odyssey - everything a game should be and more.

    Garbage game, Garbage deal , can be frequently found for 15-20 private sale via fb and gumtree.

    Given how much p2w this game is, it should have been f2p.

      Standard ragequit internet comment right there.

      Unless something has changed very recently, it's not pay to win (but that may change). Play to win maybe (ie the folk who rack up 100s of hours of play time have the most powerful weapons/talents etc on top of their developed skills and map knowledge, far more than the lowly noobs who can only play a few hours a week).

      Its fun, but it is so, so very spammy. And like the 2015 release it is almost criminally lacking in depth. Not an accident I guess if EA keep to a 2-3 year release cycle.

        It's a free to play (I hate that phrase) star wars themed casino designed to hook you into gambling activities.

        It deserves to be downvoted to the deeps of hell.

        Don't pull the "oh you can't have an opinion if you havn't played it", "its has a full campaign", "it's a top rated game" crap.

        This game is everything wrong with the industry, any level of support for it is destroying what is good about the games industry and not supporting developers, this game cost 4 studios their jobs (that we know of so far).

        Call it ethics, call it blind hatred, but the right thing to do is not buy it.

          Although I agree with your sentiments, this is like having a political opinion and forcing it on other people. It's still irrelevant to the fact that this is the cheapest current price for this product which makes it a bargain. Hate the game. Tell us you hate it. But don't down vote a bargain because you don't like the product.

          @modtang: Get your words and assumptions out of my mouth.

          It's not a bargain and it's been explained why, it can routinely be found much cheaper due to the backlash.

          Want to argue?

          here it is :
          https://ebgames.com.au/ps4-223589-Star-Wars-Battlefront-2-pr…

          $57.. yeah it's preowned but pretty much all the benefits of this product are now null, this entire product was purposely made to take advantage of people who couldnt wait, it's main feature touted on the box was that this version was released a few days earlier.

          The extras are either unusable at low level as you need to rank up to use them and by that point you've picked them up in a loot crate.

          No reason to buy this. A standard edition if you have to buy it will give you the same experience and given that many people picked it up in bundles and did not want it you will find many places selling brand new copies as used.

          Even at $57 retail, it still aint a bargain, my local cashies has quite a few copies sitting on the shelf for $35, another one has them for $40.

          Still not a bargain.

        • typhoonadventure on 27/02/2018 - 01:33

          @modtang:@modtang: Given that the whole point of this edition was to sucker people into preordering and paying much more than the standard copy for the main feature advertised of this edition :

          Up to 3 days early-access to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II

          The "bonus" dlc that comes with this is useless, so all you are getting different from the regular edition is worse cover art.

          How do I know the bonus dlc is worthless?

          I have the platinum trophy for this game and up until a month into this game I was australia's #1 ranked player at it, the dlc was worthless 3 days before release when this version took effect, it's worthless now, and i'm saying this as someone who paid money for the game and then took out its top honors, it's not a good game, it IS literally a star wars themed casino, the campaign is not fun, the gameplay is terrible and apart from battling it out to get a physical platinum trophy for this game, there was no point in playing it, and there is no real reason for anyone to play this dumpster fire of a game, let alone pay for it.

          Given that you refunded the game… you obviously had your own issues with this that begs the question why you placed this deal up, given that we've now established it is NOT the cheapest version available, and that the dlc is useless, there is no reason for this deal to remain up.

          @modtang:

          That's enough thanks everyone, this post is cluttered with off topic discussion. This is not the place to discuss interpretations of guidelines, the negative vote that required moderator intervention has been actioned almost an hour ago now.

          Please use the report button and ensure further discussion is about the game.

          @modtang: Ethics are something every community are meant to encourage by default, if that has to be explained it is no more a community than it is a collective anarchy or dictatorship.

    objectively this game is still overpriced at $59 for the features and gameplay it offers as an entertainment product. and is NOT a good deal

    Its bascially a F2P game with a AAA price tag slapped on it because oh look its Star Wars wowowowowowow

      This is a fair neg. The others, however, were not.

        sour grapes much?

        • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2018 - 00:50

          No, but this is a joke. This site used to be about deals, not bashing products because you are an opinionated pleb. If you can literally neg anything as long as you have a reason (no matter how stupid it is) then this whole site is now pointless.

          @jv:

          It's been proven it's not a deal mate.

          Found cheaper on ebay and thats before applying pick5 and getting another 5% off.

      I agree, and there are much better "free to play" games that are less "pay to win" than this game. Paying anything for something that most other companies offer free (pay to win games) is not a bargain.

      Mate, (1) that's PC and (2) it's not a physical copy.

      • aidhan on 27/02/2018 - 01:13

        Oh my bad, forgot how overpriced consoles are…

          I built my own PC and I primarily game on it but my cousin has a ps4 and wanted me to grab this so he could play it too. PC games definitely cheaper tho.

          @modtang: it is if you like single use codes that retain no value and are non transferable.

          That's the beauty of physical games free of drm like steam, origin or uplay, they retain a value making them cheaper in the long run as you can always get some form of value out of them.

          You can also pick them up if you have bargaining skills much cheaper than you would in a retail environment.

  • rekabkram on 27/02/2018 - 02:04

    My thoughts on this entire game are pretty much the same as those for Metal Gear Survive, they’re too expensive until they’re free.
    If they were free and then pay to win, fair enough. But game developers aren’t dictating what’s included anymore accountants and their added profit packs are clearly running the show.

    If we don’t vote with our wallet now then I fear what will become of gaming in a few years time.
