10 Video Games That Weren't Worth Full Price

10. Star Wars Battlefront II (Launch Version)

Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) is a beloved PS2 classic, so when EA decided to release their own Battlefront II in 2017, they were always going to be facing a tough crowd. But to their credit the first Battlefront from EA in 2015 was a good game that received decent reviews from critics and casual players, even if it was still harshly compared to its predecessors.

Unfortunately, EA dropped the ball with Battlefront II (2017), and many fans were left extremely frustrated with the title at release. When it came to playable content the game lacked fan favourite game modes such as Galactic Conquest, which a lot of old school fans were hoping would still appear.

However, what really caused controversy was the use of loot boxes.

Battlefront II (2017) was designed with a progression system that was halted by the reliance on loot boxes, which of course you could pay for with real money. Consumers were insulted, and the backlash led to EA getting the most downvoted comment in Reddit history when they tried to defend themselves.

Some people could perhaps forgive the base game's amount of content, but the reliance on micro transactions for a better experience on top of the base price was a step too far.
