I played the beta, and thought it was okay. How is the final product, and is it worth $60?

No, this is what happens when EA rushes a game once again. If only DICE had 6 more months it would've been amazing. But you know, you have to release it before the movie to make all the money whilst the hype is there. The game gets boring way too fast, don't buy it.

Nope. No depth in gameplay. Severely lacking in content. Already selling DLC season passes containing as many new maps as maps on release, and will thus destroy the dying playerbase via segregation down the line.

Absolutely not. The game is lucky with the scores gaming sites are giving. Just look at all the negative points from most reviews:
-Repetitive combat
-Inconsistent quality in maps and game modes
-Lack of content
-Lack of weapon customization and slow progression
-Lack of tactical depth
-No decent solo play options
-Overpriced dlc, which probably includes the rest of the game
How can this game rate more than a 5 or 6? Lazy and a cash grab. Yet again reviewers afraid of punishing games with negative scores, even tho the cons far outweight the pros.
Overall, its garbage if you are not a multiplayer shooter fanatic. Hoping it flops on sales.

No. Gun combat sucks and is worse than BF4 in every way.
Controlling heroes feels and looks like you're controlling a headless chicken riding a unicycle.
It get's repetitive extremely fast.
Maps feel lifeless and toned down for hero combat.

Overall it took all the good elements from BF added lasers , light sabers and heroes and tried desperately to sell the game on the heroes part , and thus molded the game with that in mind (Which is very apparent if you look at level designs and how "flat" everything looks).

My recommendation is to wait a few months and see if it improves , otherwise don't buy it. It's currently a steaming pile of.......

my friend bought it for me for $40 and i think its worth it
its shallow but very fun to play, some people keep saying its a battlefield 4 reskin.. yeah.. i wish.
the biggest disappointment are the maps, it has 12 and will be getting 2 more with the upcoming battle of jakku free dlc.. which is fine.. but if you're planning on playing bigger gamemodes such as walker assault and supremacy you only get 4 maps.. thats absurd.
the graphics and sounds are just perfection

If its was $30.00 and had all of the content unlocked on day one with no Add on DLC then it'd be a solid buy most likely. But as it is right now its overpriced and a good portion of content is locked behind that stupidly expensive season pass thing.

I watched at least 3 review of it and they were all saying the exact same thing. The graphics and sound were top notch but the game doesn't have staying power to keep you playing beyond the first few hours.

It was lazy as fuck of the developers to not make any sort of passing attempt at a campaign or story mode given such a beautiful rendition of a star wars setting that turned off a lot of people like me . I not a FPS fan by any means but I play them sometimes if they have a decent storyline .

It looks and sounds like a massive AAA title but feels like more of the multiplayer mode of a bigger game by itself, if you get what I mean.

Its ok the graphics are gorgeous the environments look better than they do in the freaking movies, trees splinter when hit by blaster fire its incredible to look at and listen to but the world is so good and so much detail has been put into it that the maps feel wasted an a standard shooter multiplayer. The amount of times I got distracted just looking around, the games world begs to be explored and looked at in like an rpg in an FPS you don't have time to see surroundings just shoot people seems like a waste of good design.

The games ok but I'd wait till it was half price before buying as a full price purchaser its not worth the £45 + season pass you'll really need to get enough out of the experience.

If I had to pick fallout 4 or this I would have picked fallout 4 I think I made the wrong choice in holding back on fallout for battlefront when its battlefront I should have held back for a few month.

It's okay.

It's not what you'd expect if you've played the original two Battlefront games.

Looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous, the sense of scope (at least on Hoth and Endor) is excellent.
But it lacks in everything else.

I'm hoping it ties in to the new films.... a bit more. I.E Can play as Empire vs Rebels but then the next map could be New Order vs Resistance or whatever the new factions in the new films become.

That's probably just my pipe dream though.

Buy it if you're a fan of Star Wars. Don't if you're a fan of deep and complex shooters.

I don't care how much you hate a publisher or what they've done with a game a lot of people still worked really hard to make it just so some entitled prick can snap it for likes? how would you like it if your company worked on something and you put a lot of hours making say the guns look as good as you can make them for people and they just spit on it. Entitled games press (I assume) at its best once again. Games journalism is so toxic I quit after my studies. By all means give something a bad review, EXPLAIN why its not a good title and what can be done to change it but this? this is something a spoilt child does with his Christmas gift his parents worked hard to buy him.

Also the band name was born from the singer breaking instruments during his solo program.
Its only fitting he would do that to a disc.

So its some kind of American rock group?. Sorry I don't really keep up with bands I'm sure Ive heard some of its music if you say its so big but honestly I'm not in the habit of knowing band names from the one off songs I might here.

Why would anyone expect a band to be able to review a game? might as well ask a random guy on the street.

It is funny that you honestly believe I'm making this up because im really not. Ive never took any interest in band names, play lists or whatever. I like music like the next person but Ive never bothered with the bands themselves unless I really like them. so sorry for not knowing every band out there *jazz hands*

If you would trust in the words of some band you like that a game sucks with no actual explanation or examination of why then no wonder your judgement of fallout 4 was so poor before it even came out based on little information. BRB going to ask the mailman his views on Battlefront. If he says its bad and breaks a disk in front of me I'll have to believe it without judging for myself or forming my own opinion.

If Ford sent you a Pinto and told you they would give you money if you told all your friends to buy the car, I'm sure you would destroy it without mercy. EA is fucking disgusting and this kind of hype shows just how desperate they are to save this failing game. Major fans of both Star Wars and the Battlefront series should feel very betrayed by EA. Destroying the disc is far from a childish act, it is an appropriate image to display the frustration towards this "finished" product. If you ask me, EA is literally shitting on nostalgia itself.

Yeah with words, I'd tell people exactly why the car is shit showing a destroyed car may be a "message" but a far better one is letting know why its bad, it could just be personal taste at work. You have to explain why its bad as a car objectively and then let others rant about how shit ford is.

At least thats what I'd do after all a publisher and developer are responsible for a game. Doing stuff like this just puts further misplaced blame on the developers lumping them in the evil publishers A lot of reviewers tend to do this and it gets individual game devs a lot of hate and some loose their jobs over negative feedback which isn't even their fault. They're slaves to the evil publishers. If he already bought the game hes not putting anyone off because it wasn't explained why its bad so others would go and buy it to see for themselves anyway, the money is already in the publishers hands so they don't really care and its still free publicity. The only people who loose are the devs if anyone fires hate towards Dice who did the best they could on a timeline that is far below any other AAA release yet is anyone giving Dice a break or a thumbs up for at least releasing a functional game? no they're getting the blame for the DLC pack which is entirely on EA.

I doubt the band would like it if someone er..famous I guess snapped their CD and said it was shit because of what their manager decided to do with the song list or something.

As for CookingPriest I looked it up I do know who you're talking about now. They're that band that made that extremely overused Halo 3 montage music. Literally the only thing I remember from them and it was like 6+ years ago so obviously I wouldn't know them.

It became a parody it was so overused

I would have prefered galactic conquest worked into multiplayer and also the rebels so far have no ground vehicles the empire has the AT-ST so thats unfair.

but this was all EA Dice got half the development time of a normal AAA game so obviously EA said just make it multiplayer, give it the multiplayer basics because those sell. Nothing more.
