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

You can play with bots. That was confirmed months ago.

Update #2: MP only seems to crash when gunners are present.

Update: The SP version (which uses Serenity) works fine.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

Agreed. Maybe they'll add it in DLC.

A new feature on the SWBF website allows you to explore the environments of the game: http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/planets And for those experiencing lag, here's all the cinematics and gameplay clips from the tour:

Didn't work.

Battlefront all the way! (And SWTOR: KotFE)

Whenever I try to play Evolution of Combat III (this version specifically), it crashes with a "jamp.exe has encountered a problem blah blah blah" error within 5 minutes of starting any kind of match. I have not added any custom skins/maps or modified it in any way. I've tried various different game modes with and without bots. Any idea what the problem is?

That's already been posted. I do however, agree that the ultimate edition is kinda dumb. I'd rather see what the expansions are before buying them. Though I should note that we have absolutely no idea how much content is in each pack. I'd expect to see more than just an additional planet per pack being ~$12.50 each. At least I hope. Though I did get the deluxe edition PS4 bundle, but that's just so I could get the extra games it comes with and the Darth Vader console. I don't really care much about the in-game bonuses since i'd be able to unlock the items anyway, and I don't really see me using emotes that much.

I apologize that I do not have the time to sit through 20 minutes of video or everything you wrote, but believe it or not, I have a life outside of gaming. However I did watch (or rather, listen to) the first few minutes of the video in question, and noticed he was talking about steam specifically. And while I understand the concerns, A) Origin games can be refunded. B) So can disk copies. As I previously mentioned, I am getting the game on the PS4, meaning will I have a physical copy of the game, and if I don't like it and I can't get a refund for some reason, I can sell it. For this very reason, I rarely buy games digitally, with the exception of MMOs. I should also mention that my pre-order comes with the PS4 in question, and three other games I've already played and like (Jedi Starfighter, Bounty Hunter and Racer Revenge) which I think is enough to make up for it if I don't end up liking SWBF. And while there ARE bugs (which I never noticed), I don't care about them. In fact, some bugs make the game MORE fun IMO. If there are any other problems about pre-ordering he mentioned, please tell me in text, because I have much better things to do than watch all of that.

@@MaceMadunusus You're acting like it's a scientific fact that the game is bad. However, different people care about different aspects of the game. There is no way you can truly call any piece of media "bad". It's all personal preference. And what difference does it make whether you pre-order the game or buy it when it comes out. You still end up paying the same amount of money either way, and if you don't like it, you can still sell it or return it.

I'm not an economist, jeez. Anyways, the only thing we've accomplished from this is pissing each other off. So lets be done.

I disagree that it is only a $30 value, but this has become pointless. Neither of us are changing our opinions, so we might as well end this conversation.

@@MaceMadunusus Nothing is perfect. I could come up with a list of problems just about as large for the previous Battlefront games, the Jedi Knight Games and even Movie Battles. The the majority of your complaints involve the GUI and PC-specific issues. I'm getting the game on the PS4. The remaining complaints are either personal preference or things that just don't matter to me. It's not that i'm a sucker for Star Wars products (though I must admit I kinda am one), it's that I try to focus on the good in things. There are quite a few things I don't like about the game, and you mentioned a lot of them. But I won't let that ruin it for me. I don't worry about gameplay or balance or accuracy. I just want to have fun playing the game. If you don't like it, that's fine. Just stop insulting me for liking it.

The game didn't feel anywhere near as half-assed is you claim it to be. In fact, the only game I can think of that is as polished as that is Knights of the Old Republic. I'm not entirely sure what you people are complaining about, but whatever it is, it's obviously something too insignificant for me to notice or care about. Sure, it's not a carbon-copy of the previous battlefront games, but I never wanted it to be. If you don't like the gameplay, I can respect that, but I wouldn't call the gameplay incomplete. As for the amount of content, if it had everything people wanted in it at launch, it would have to come out years from now. And from what I know about the game, there's enough content to keep me interested. I don't need 20+ maps. Now the lack of a server browser is a complaint for me, but i'll work around it. To me this game seems like it's worth that $70, and I think you guys are just nitpicking. As for pre-ordering, I see no problem with doing so once you know enough about the product, and I know a lot about the product.

First off, I never played Battlefield. Secondly, I played the beta and I enjoyed it quite a lot. There was more than enough quality for me to pre-order; But quite obviously "quality" when it comes to video games is extremely subjective. Thirdly, I don't give a damn about EA's profits. They are a corporation, they're supposed to make profit, and if people enjoy their product (which I certainly do), then I say they deserve that profit.

Doesn't matter though, I prefer quality over quantity.

Who says the Beta has everything in the game?

We don't know how many features it has. For one thing, we still don't know how many single-player missions there are, or how many customization options there are.

Probably because most people either A) Are too busy with other projects and/or real life, B) Haven't watched and/or aren't interested in the shows in question, C) Prefer doing skins related to Star Wars or D) Some combination thereof.

I'm just gonna pick and choose what DLC I want and buy them individually.

It's not done yet.
