10 Reasons You're Wrong About Star Wars Battlefront

By Brandon Jacobs /

1. It's Just Plain Fun

The most important element of any video game is whether or not the player is having fun. All the graphics and specs in the world don€™t matter if the game design it supports is tedious or frustrating. From what I€™ve experienced with the beta, Battlefront has a lot of positives going for it. However, the most important take away from it is that is was a fun experience that made an hour seem like 5 minutes, and that was just playing the same level over and over again. I know some people don€™t like how simple the game is, but in hindsight I think it makes Battlefront more approachable for everybody. It doesn€™t overwhelm the player with countless classes, weapons, and abilities. Some people are complaining about a lack of these things, but that is what attracts people who couldn€™t be helped caring about that stuff. This is Star Wars, not a modern war simulator. It€™s simple and easy to play so that anyone can have fun. It€™s what differentiates this from games like Battlefield or Call of Duty. It takes itself less seriously because Star Wars is about fantasy and having a good time. It€™s far too early to exclaim the virtues of this new Battlefront in full, as it€™s possible that the formula could grow stale quickly post release. All I know is how I feel, and what I know is that, despite all the pre-order and season pass garbage bogging it down, I am now looking forward to Battlefront with cautious optimism where there was once none at all, and that is because I got to play it and realize how much of a good time I was having. And really, that€™s kind of the only thing that matters, isn€™t it? Are you looking forward to Star Wars: Battlefront after the beta? Let us know in the comments!
