Star Wars Battlefront: 11 Reasons It's A Big Disappointment
Ripped off, you were...
It feels like we've been waiting forever, but Star Wars: Battlefront is finally here, and the consensus from reviews is that it's a solid shooter, but no masterpiece. The game has been a major source of both excitement and controversy ever since it was first announced, as many hoped for a return to the classic Battlefront formula, while others suspected it would be a significantly "dumbed down" experience rife with invasive DLC and micro-transactions. Well, Battlefront is finally here, and it's certainly an enjoyable game, but it's hard to deny that it was absolutely capable of so much more. The game falls down in a number of key areas so unnecessarily, either because Battlefield developers DICE opted for some strange gameplay mechanics, material has been left out for obvious DLC double-dipping later on, or corners have been cut to rush the game out a month ahead of The Force Awakens. It delivers the basic goods and the visuals are undeniably gorgeous, but it could also be so, so much more (and it just might be...if you're prepared to stump up the DLC bucks)...
