Lol at that user score. This is basically only on par with the first game, despite all the things they tried to improve. Seems like what they deserve

Yeah it's weird, maybe he was just super unlucky with bugs.

Anyway I agree with him, playing the beta was no fun at all, while I found the gameplay of 2015 to be great and by far the best part of it. I was put off even without considering loot boxes, they just made me certain not to get it.

Good.

I watched a full playthrough of the campaign and its extremely disappointing. I can't believe I ever had hope for a great Imperial perspective campaign.... sigh.

How did you manage to guess that one? :o <br><br>She goes from hardcore Imperialist, genuinely quite affected by the death of the Emperor, to Leia&#39;s bff in less than an hour.

That's so dumb.

You can't sell a story off it being from one direction and then just ignore that. It's almost as bad as Halo 5.

Not really a Halo 5 spoiler but
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>There is no &quot;Hunt the truth.&quot; You just play as Locke following Master Chief.<br>

Yeah even with the micro transactions the game itself has some good gameplay, but the story mode and mode selection is terrible.

I know, I saw an ad on TV for the campaign after watching the campaign (which is only 4-5 hours by the way) and I genuinely think they could be sued for false advertising. The story is not what they say it is at all.

Spoiler for Hidden:
It doesn&#39;t really show her struggling with the decision to change much either, it&#39;s almost like a switch was flipped in her head.<br><br>Also, the campaign is set up as separate missions which are all quite random and have random time spacings between them. It&#39;s mainly done as a mechanism for you to have missions where you play as Luke, Leia, Han, the millennium falcon, Lando and even Kylo. The Lando mission in particular makes no sense at all and the Han mission is extremely forced and just a waste of time story wise.<br><br><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">Just an all round poor campaign in my opinion.</span>

Its now 69 on meta, 67 on open. Down and down it goes. That corresponds to it being in the bottom 33% of games on opencritic.

Its the #1 most discussed game on meta for the year now too. Not surprising really.

Down to 68 on meta and with a 4/10 to come from edge it could well drop even more.

I don't know if the Last Jedi hype will save it.
