Star Wars Battlefront

Favorite gif so far.

I utterly hate that you have to push down the left stick to run.

I love how the game looks. Especially at the speed you move.

I hate that everyone is better at it than i am since i never play first person shooters. >_>

Not neccercerly a fan of the FPS genre, don´t see myself getting into this to deep, but if it´s ever for sale at 20€ i might pick it up and get called noob a lot.

 

You can change it to 3rd person if that suits you more.

Realy? I got to wrok today, but i´ll defenetly check that out later when i return home.

But the controls are fixed as far as i was able to see it. The left stick down pushing needs to go.

That's pretty much every first person shooter. That's likely there to stay.

I'm not a fan of online play, so I probably won't use it too much, but playing against the AI was a load of fun.

Competitive shooters online are only fun if you're playing with people of the same skill/commitment level. I don't have 3-10 hours a day that I can sink into anything, so I'll probably give up on online play when the game launches officially. Couch co-op is going to be so much fun though.

Had a little crack at the Beta earlier and I thought it was pretty good. The graphics were amazing but I do reckon the online part of it would get really shitty after a while.

Yeah this is probably going to be why I don't end up getting it. My friends will be on Destiny with me and Halo between themselves so I won't even have anyone to play with all that much really.

Who else is picking this up?  Just got it on PS4

[Avenged Probably]

Damn this is out already? Would have saved some money if I'd have realised...

I will pick it up end of next week probably and will also be on PS4 :)

[Whisper]

Preordered for PC last month - just got to wait until Thursday for it to become available!

[apsham]

I grabbed it for the One. Going to see what it's like and if it doesn't settle well with me, I'll put it towards Just Cause 3. They fucking nailed the feeling - there's a lot of care put into the game and it looks amazing, I just don't know how many people that I know will be playing it.

[apsham]

This is just.. so fucking hard to get a handle on. It looks amazing, it feels amazing but the experience is just outside of my grasp. The single player stuff is tacked on and useless, I mean absolutely useless. Even the mode that isn't a Horde type survival thing is basically the same exact thing with aimless wandering by the AI so that makes it a purely multiplayer thing.

But that's okay - if you read reviews that is exactly what you're getting into. But the multiplayer experience is so very dependent on other people and whether they're playing well or just being total asshats. The game is also balanced in a way that's going to make sure that you aren't too frustrated.. but at the same time it doesn't seem to leave a lot of room for you to dominate consistently either. At times it can just feel empty outside of the 40 player modes. Ack, I dunno.

What keeps popping into my head is "if this didn't have a Star Wars skin on it, I wouldn't like this".

[Maxx]

At least they balanced Walker Assault.  I hate fighter squadron, neither of POVs available work for me and flying feels way too slow.

[apsham]

I did do pretty amazing in the Hoth versions of Walker Assault but once again it was a situation where 90 percent of my team didn't give a shit about objectives/communicating or anything of the sort.

[DavidMarrio]

The fact that you now actually have a chance as the rebels on walker assault makes it better. 

Also...I got a trophy for an ewok throwing something at my head. Didn't even realise one of them threw something at my head

Quite enjoyed my first few attempts at the new game mode, 'Turning Point'. It's a little more open and clusterfucky than some of the others, but does feel quite epic in scale.

Ended up getting the new map on a Drop Pod game too. Not sure what I think of it yet.

What are everyone's favourite modes/maps? I tend to play Blast the most. I quite like the Ice Caves, as well as the smaller Endor map.

After watching the Angry Joe review of this game, I think I'll wait until it goes on sale.

I pretty much only do Walker Assault now.

I think that's fair for the most part - it would help to alleviate some of the DLC cost at the same time if you do end up enjoying it.

I also don't have time for online multiplayer until probably summer, and it seems like that's what the game is mostly for since there is no campaign(seriously how the fuck is there no campaign) or galactic conquest type mode.
