SWBFGamers

Hello everyone!

Since the Beta has come and gone, most of us now have an idea of what it's going to be like. However, there are still some who disagree with the reboot. So I wanted to see how different this goes than the poll before the Beta.
Also, what edition have you guys bought/going to buy/would buy?

I've already pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition for Star Wars Battlefront EA which was £54, despite my disagreement with the fact it feels a bit too much like Battlefield meets Call Of Duty rather than a mix between Star Wars and Battlefield. Overall, in my opinion, it's still a fantastic game!

What about you? What options did you choose and why?

Thanks!

I've already pre-ordered, hence the award Led and I have  ;)

Ah nice! Didn't realise there was an award for it :D

I'd love to buy it next month, but that won't be happening since I have things to pay for next month (and it all depends on me getting a PS4, which will have to wait until December)

I enjoyed the beta enough that I'll be preordering the disk soon . I've been meaning to go to the shop but it's 40 miles so I'll probably get it from Amazon where its currently £40 instead of £50+. I might as well wait for the DLC to be ripped off by EA.  ;)

Didn't play the beta, read enough criticism about it, and I don't have the money for it. Although I did just now get a part-time job (starting training tomorrow at 8AM), I doubt I'll buy it until it goes cheaper. Plus, I have more practical expenses to worry for (i.e., Christmas gifts, new phone, etc.)

Im not buying it.Sorry guys but they mess alot of things and for that i can not forgive EA.This is just my opinion.Like i said before even the trailer to be shown:If this game is too different from what we expect i only gonna watch some videos on youtobe with popcorns and after 1-2 weeks when the game get boring i simply will stop.This is just my opinion.Still cant imagine im saying this words.If you guys only hear me before 3-4 months.I was like omg battlefront!!!The wait is over...but sadly its not.  :shrug:

Don't worry :( There's always Star Wars: Battle Cry in development by fans!
I do agree though. It does not deserve to be a Battlefront game.

Why are people basing their opinions on a three level beta? You have absolutely no way of telling yet whether this game is good or not.

And a reminder that this is not an entry into the old Battlefront franchise. Of course it's not going to look or play exactly like a franchise whose last major console entry was ten years ago.

Because there's not a lot they can change in one month. The Beta is an idea of what it's going to be like and the mechanics aren't going to be different. Or at least, not a lot different.
The only things that'll be different is the full game will have more content (most likely more bugs too), balance improvements and few finishing touches. We've basically seen enough of the game to assume what it's going to be like.
It's going to be pretty much the same as the Beta is what I'm trying to say.

Well, it sure looks fine to me.

Maybe not the 'SWBF 3' us veterans deserve, but certainly the Star Wars game we deserve after the draught we've had.
When it's affordable I'll play it to death.

That's why I bought it. Better than nothing to be fair.

Let me expand: we've seen three levels, one per planet, and each of those is one mode from thirteen (totalling 3). The game has thirteen modes and all thirteen modes are available on all four planets. Even if we assume there's only one map per planet per mode, that's still 52 maps. That means we have seen less than 6% of what the game has to offer, prior to DLC.

6% is a LOT of information, enough to make some good guesses about what the rest of the game will be like.

I loved the beta and I already pre-ordered.

Already pre-ordered it for my Xbox.

I'm sorry, but I think you're wrong. It's like watching the first ten minutes of a film you're not sure about and basing your entire opinion on those ten minutes without watching the rest.

Already pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition for PS4.  :)

"Battlefront" in the title is not the reason I would buy any game...

I'd say 6% is WAY below how much we've actually experienced. Like I said, the content is completely different to the mechanics. We've seen about 80% of how the game is played and works already and about 18.75% of the maps. We've seen very little of the guns though. However, the Gameplay mechanics are the core element of how the game is played whereas the content sort of adds the skin onto the skeleton of the game. Meaning that we can still judge a LOT about how the game is going to turn out.
I'm just going to say this; wait until the game comes out, play it, and then we'll see how "different" it will seem.

However, I still do enjoy it. It just proves as the "odd one out" out of the Star Wars Battlefront series.

One can tell a lot about the quality of a movie from the first 10 minutes. In particular, one can form a good guess about whether one will like the entire movie or not. At least, I can.

Of course, that guess might be wrong. But it would be based on good information, and is likely correct.

Exactly, that's why I'll be waiting for the release to see if the game is worth buying at full price.

Could you tell The Worlds End was a good movie from the first ten minutes? I couldn't. I found the first three-quarters-of-an-hour of it off-putting. Did that dissuade me from watching the rest of it, or later getting it on DVD? Nope. Because I viewed it as a whole.

Or, more in-line, you wouldn't have been able to tell how bad The Phantom Menace got on just the first ten minutes.

But, whatever, I'm not trying to change minds, just make a point.

I already went for the full package: THE ULTIMATE EDITION!!!!!

NO REGRETS!!!!

Only rebel scum do not pre-order Star Wars games.

Btw, how do I get that "I pre-ordered the game" badge on my forum profile?

Well im certainly not going to waste my money on every game that slaps the star wars title on the cover. Ive got bills to pay and those who dont pre-order shouldn't feel bad for doing so. Nothing wrong with waiting for something cheaper down the line, patience is a virtue and is rewarded often.  At the end of the day, its the same game weather you play it at launch or a few months later.

You have it but I don't :( How did you earn it?

I am buying my PS4 on Friday and I have pre-ordered the PS4 version (just the standard one). I get 20% off both purchases :D

preordered that monster.

Only a few more days!! Im excited for the campaign tbh.

Campaign? They don't have one sadly :( The closest to a campaign is Survival. I'm excited to see what the new Battle of Jakku looks like! I love the look of Sullust especially! Not sure why but that map actually looks really nice! And I'm not saying that the others don't either ;)

Well, I went and grabbed myself a disk tonight, and I must say I quite like the game. Me and my brother played several rounds of survival already, and me being a noob on xBox (one) was able to get the hang of it quickly.

I really like the ice crystals on the walls of Hoth caves :P

I was able to just go and get the Deluxe edition tonight without preordering. Mainly because my town is small enough that a new game release doesn't really go huge and sell out like it did before I moved. So yeah, that's cool.

I haven't set up an origin/EA whatever account for multiplayer yet, but I doubt I will since I suspect I need xBox live anyways (which I am not paying for xD)

I had the PS4 bundle pre-ordered and I got it yesterday. The game is pretty amazing in my opinion, I know it's nothing similar to the old Battlefronts but it's 2015 almost 2016, it's time to move on.

My deluxe edition Darth Vader PS4 bundle came in the mail yesterday.
I think the game's really awesome, though I'm a bit disappointed by the small amount of singleplayer content. Though overall I've found the game to be very fun and well polished.  :cheer:

I'm also loving the classic SW games the bundle comes with.

The maps are excellent. I love the speeder training mission through the forest. I haven't tried any online content yet cause i will prolly be destroyed and I'm trying to get all the stars in the training missions. It has 4 expansions for future content so I'm not too worried about the content right now with what they have.  Nothing like the old BFs but it is very fun to play.  I recommend it.

I have to second this. I've played all the single player content already xD..

It took me a few days to get through the original battlefront set of single player levels, which I think is something this new one can't really hold a candle to.

I'm parroting the above. I wrote a mini-review on Facebook:

QuoteMini review of Star Wars Battlefront.

DICE have done a good job on recreating the Star Wars feel. It's a very competent shooter with some nice throwbacks to older Star Wars games. The biggest issue is the lack of content, especially the Single Player experience. The AI there is decent enough to get away with having more than just Training, Battles and Survival. The Multiplayer obviously has more modes and is quite fun (it's my first online shooter so I kind of suck compared to the other guys - or, let's put it this way, I was playing a stormtrooper for most of the matches, so that part is accurate lol) but again there is a lack of content. Some of the maps are largely the same as each other (Walker Assault and Supremacy share the same maps). Heroes are fun and on the PS4 starfighters are just as controllable as they were back in the original game. The token system is a nice idea for certain things but for others certain systems should be given in their stead. For instance, it doesn't really make sense to have a token that puts you into an AT-ST when it would be better if they had static AT-STs located at certain spawn points you could just hop in. People were ragging on the AT-ATs being AI controlled as well, but in all fairness that's probably for the best.

If you're looking for a continuation of the style from the first two games, I am afraid you'll be disappointed. It has quite a few callbacks, such as the ability to switch between first and third person (quite handily, you do not need to pause the game to do this now) and third person is handled really well.

All in all, Star Wars Battlefront is a competent shooter that is let down by the lack of content at launch. The Battle of Jakku will add two maps to the game and there will be four content packs you can get early if you got the seaosn pass. Setting those aside for the moment and judging the game at launch, I would give it a 7/10. It's a good start to a rebooted version of the franchise, but it clearly needed a bit more time in development.

In the original, you can press Q to switch from 1st to 3rd person in game  :cheers:

I've played for two nights now and while there are a lot of positive aspects to the game, it isn't quite what I what hoping for.  The graphics and environmental detail are simply stunning, that much I liked.  But it's too reminiscent of the CounterStrike style of game - a bunch of highly skilled players running around pointlessly shooting each other, wrapped in Star Wars skins.  Aren't there enough games like this already?   How can a new player be competitive without an expensive gaming system, and the leisure time needed to accumulate credits for the best weapons? 

What this game is missing is the campy fun of SWBF1.  Where is the rancor?  Where are the pigs with axes?  Sadly, I haven't recognized even one name from the other SWBF1 and SWBF2 users.

True true...Also i hate when DICE talk about their game in a way like there was not Battlefront game before their game.  :rant:

They removed one of my comments on their facebook post about me asking them if the remember the old games.
Just comes to show that EA ARE the WORST games company to date. It's extremely annoying how they do that :rant:

Pile on the recent news of an EA rep bribing Reddit users to remove negative remarks about the game, you got the perfect reasons why I'm set on NOT buying the new Battlefront. If EA and DICE are trying to remove the negative criticism about their game, they just lost a few customers in my book.

Although I have plans to buy Need For Speed when it arrives on PC, at least Ghost is openly honest with their faults (such as outright saying the PC release won't be available until next year).

The new NFS looks so real! I love the look of it but racing games just aren't my thing unless they include destruction like Burnout.
I also 100% disagree with how they're bribing Reddit to stop posters from taking down HELPFUL comments that EA read as NEGATIVE rather than ADVICE. EA just remind me of the type who'd run away from a fight they've started.

Well, there is some damage shown to your car if you tend to hit walls/other cars a lot (which I'm sure can be toggled as either real damage, or visual, or just turned off entirely). In any case, I grew up with NFS Underground 2 on my GameCube, so that's partly why I'm hyped for the new one. I've actually been playing it alot recently to suppress the urge to buy a console/subscription to play the new one. (Must... resist... until Spring 2016... :fist:)

On topic however, I doubt I'll even be buying this game a year from now. Maybe when the second one comes out and looks more proper, maybe then I might renew interest in the new Battlefronts. Until then though, not a chance. :P

Lock and load, guys! :)
I'm playing the PS4 deluxe version now. It will take time to get used to it, but I'm loving the graphics for sure.
Hopefully one of you computer geniuses will figure a way to make the PC version work on a MAC. If so, I'll buy that version too. I prefer the keyboard to the hand controller of the PS4. But this is still awesome on PS4 too.

Okay, thanks! I'll keep an eye open for it once I try out the multiplayer mode. I just got it yesterday so I'm still figuring it all out. I'm also nearly-new to PS4. I usually do all my gaming on Mac.
Thanks again.

Bought the game! Can't play it though because my computer is garbage :c So I have to probably save up to get a nice(Not gonna buy a cheap lil thing) computer so that I can play with all of you o:
