13 Reasons 2019's Biggest Video Games Might Suck

10. EA Is Involved With It - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Why It Might Suck: It takes a special kind of incompetence to win the illustrious Star Wars license and, after three projects, have desperately little to show for it.

Star Wars Battlefront was a piecemeal disappointment, its sequel was somehow even worse, and despite having the most promise of the lot, Visceral Games' single-player Star Wars title ended up cancelled last year.

So, it's easy to be extremely sceptical about EA's new third-person, campaign-based Star Wars game, because no matter the developmental pedigree behind it, the publisher has an infuriating knack for making gross business decisions which impact the quality of the end product.

The odds aren't in their favour, and again, this is a case where it's best to protect yourself against being burned. Don't pre-order and wait for the reviews to come out.

Why It Might Not: The flicker of promise comes from the game being developed by Titanfall devs Respawn Entertainment, who delivered one of the best first-person shooter campaigns of recent years with Titanfall 2.

Plus, there's a slight possibility that EA maybe learned something following the hostile response to both Battlefront games? Probably not, but stranger things have happened.
