April 15, 2017 at 6:03 pmIt’s nice to see them depict the empire as the good guys they always were for once.

April 15, 2017 at 10:08 pmThe trailer was pretty good and suggests an interesting story, but the preorder crap is just a sore reminder that EA will mess things up again.

April 15, 2017 at 10:20 pmI got the first one as a gift and I still kinda felt ripped off. There was just so little to actually do, and the multiplayer felt like a mindless shooting gallery. Not at all like the Battlefront I remember, I played that shit for years with my friends. Won’t pick this up unless there’s some big improvements, but it’s EA, so it’ll probably be the same shit.

April 15, 2017 at 10:29 pmIt’s the same goddamn strategy; release the game before the movie in order to sell it based on hype instead of quality…

April 16, 2017 at 12:38 amDoubt it’ll be as big of a game as the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 ……….

April 16, 2017 at 3:17 amHow about a new jedi academy or jedi outcast instead, actually scratch that, they can’t make a true sequel to my favorite games anymore, not in today’s climate.

April 16, 2017 at 3:18 amInteresting trailer, and I like this take on the Imperium (who always looked like the nice guys to me), but I have no hopes and dreams since this is EA we are talking about.
catazxy
April 16, 2017 at 3:29 amFemale lead in SW7, in Rouge One and now in SWBF2, its almost like they are trying to push an agenda rather then good characters…
catazxy
April 16, 2017 at 4:08 amYeah there is no season pass, but they said that they will replace it with something else, perhaps a even shittier solution…
Eden
April 16, 2017 at 4:55 amThey’re also ending the only male led Star Wars TV Show and apparently replacing it with an all female casted Star Wars show lol…they’re a little too transparent
Eden
April 16, 2017 at 4:56 amI thought the empire was nothing but cis white males lol I wonder what this chick’s wife is like…
Eden
April 16, 2017 at 4:57 amWould’ve been cool if you were able to make your own Jedi similar to how Destiny works
STARSBarry
April 16, 2017 at 5:07 amoh great so we get the ONLY person in the empire without a British accent to be the lead, WHO THE FUCK WAS RETARDED ENOUGH TO CALL THAT SHOT?
STARSBarry
April 16, 2017 at 5:21 amwas that announced somewhere as far I know EA are working in conjunction with Amy Hennig as writer for there new star wars games…. you know the fine women who put together the scripts for the likes of uncharted, Jack & Dexter and legacy of kane, doubt EA would overlook that level of talent for a fucking IGN review editor.

April 16, 2017 at 7:49 amIf the prequels are aids this is full blown cancer.
Uncle Ocelot
April 16, 2017 at 9:12 amI can’t wait to see Han Solo get upstaged by his stronk fierce and independent female sidekick in his movie.
Uncle Ocelot
April 16, 2017 at 9:22 amI don’t know if Amy is writing for this game specifically, but they definitely have an IGN review editor.

April 16, 2017 at 10:12 amAt least she looks better than that mutant face from Andromeda.

April 16, 2017 at 10:49 amEmperor Palpatine is such a nice guy, hiring all these stronk independent women into the major military roles of his sith empire.

April 16, 2017 at 11:21 amHey! I actually liked the lead in Rogue One.
Rey is shit, thoroughly and completely made out of excrement.
AnarKreig
April 16, 2017 at 11:25 amCalling it now, the imperial protagonist will have a change of heart and defect.
Because we can’t have relatable characters in nazi orders.
Uncle Ocelot
April 16, 2017 at 12:08 pmA plank of wood would make for a better main character than Rey. Haven’t seen Rogue One yet, Felicity Jones a qt though.

April 16, 2017 at 1:33 pmI agree. Rey was just…meh at best but whatever, we are stuck with her. Rogue One was a shit ton better than Force Awakens though, hands down.

April 16, 2017 at 1:35 pmRemember at one point the Empire had the hotness that was Juno Eclipse.

Forgotten One
April 16, 2017 at 3:03 pmBasically this:
Game has promising or bad trailer -> nichegamer comments: “it will be garbage/let’s whine about the female characters”
Kiwi Hoy
April 16, 2017 at 3:03 pmAlternative version:
Game is all about anime tiddies -> “OMG BEST GAME EVER PLZ NO CENSOR”
Forgotten One
April 16, 2017 at 3:11 pmI wonder if people that complain here actually invest that much time playing that very game they complain about
Kiwi Hoy
April 16, 2017 at 3:13 pmIt’s also very hilarious that your comment included whining about female characters because there are several people on this very article doing just that
Forgotten One
April 16, 2017 at 3:19 pmYeah I know right, because clearly the design of one single female character can doom an entire game -_-
Kiwi Hoy
April 16, 2017 at 3:33 pmNo see here’s the thing, this woman wasn’t a submissive half naked loli so she’s been censored. That’s the only explanation for people finding any other kind of female appealing
catazxy
April 16, 2017 at 3:34 pmI dislike them both just as much, mediocre acting at best and 0% character development. Just a bunch of overpowered women inserted without any decent explanations.
Mr0303
April 16, 2017 at 3:39 pmMitch Dyer – this doesn’t bode well. The game will likely have SJW garbage.
Forgotten One
April 16, 2017 at 3:42 pmStop saying stuff like that or people will realise that you don’t like women at all. After all, if you’re against such things, you must be gay.
Kiwi Hoy
April 16, 2017 at 4:22 pmAnd all of the gays are part of the SJW agenda and therefore must be trying to take away their lolis. HOW DEEP DOES THE RABBIT HOLE GO?

April 16, 2017 at 7:00 pmI’m surprised Disney haven’t gone back and patched Tie Fighter into being about your pilot having a change of heart and defecting.

April 16, 2017 at 7:03 pmYeah it’s not like that just didn’t happen with Mass Effect Andromeda ;)

April 16, 2017 at 7:51 pmThx confirming the mentality of this community ;)
TheOnceAndFutureKing
April 16, 2017 at 9:04 pmAnother piece of shit that will fail because too many “misogynist neckbeards” don’t care to play an underdeveloped, over hyped, and over priced game that stars an androgynous mulatto wymyn.

April 16, 2017 at 10:43 pmI’m so glad I’m not the only one that thinks this. I was destroyed on Facebook when I made the notion. lol.

April 17, 2017 at 4:50 amExcept EA already all but said bluntly that you get to, suprise, suprise, betray the Empire and join the rebel scum.

April 17, 2017 at 10:44 amHave you two considered getting a room to continue this circlejerk?

April 17, 2017 at 11:17 amyou misspelled “original”
Zack Attack
April 18, 2017 at 7:01 amIf I want to be honest, I enjoyed The Force Awakens. However, people shouldn’t be mocked for opinions, especially if the fanboys assume its because of the female lead.
Jesse (RIP Iwata)
April 19, 2017 at 12:54 amOh, absolutely. Though, the whole Ghostbusters debacle with James Rolfe was a far cry from that ideal. lol.
