Man, when Heroes vs Villains is firing on all cylinders with two evenly matched teams, it is a blast. So many fun scenarios can play out.
I meleed Vader to death with Leia.
Take that, dad.
Yeah, they could do a lot with heroes if they want. Multiple modes using Heroes vs Villains. Could be its own mini game mode if they added a lot more heroes.

Played a few hours to level 7 on my xbox, pretty meh about the whole thing. I've already preordered (physical) on PS4 and will play, but don't expect it to hold my interest very long.
Is it just nuts there are only 24 equipment unlocks, 11 weapon unlocks, and 153 costume unlocks? what the hell? Most are all really silly too, just different hairstyles. I want more weapons and weapon mods, ship mods, camos for weapons, etc.
The star wars factor is A+++, but the underlying game itself is pretty uninspired. Still not sure what the astro bots are supposed to do, and I find the radar more confusing than helpful so far on the ground.

I only have a PS4, and I'd rather not have to make system-wide change to button configurations if I don't have to. Dang, that's disappointing.

No they won't, man.
As pointed out already by someone else, they do not carry over from the One to the PS4, and I picked it up on the PS4.
Very curious about that as well.

FUCK! The download is dragging once it got to 69%. Now it's taking forever. Should I uninstall and restart?
After playing all the game modes at least once...
This goes back to the old content vs value argument. Will I get $60 worth of time out of this game? Certainly. Is there $60 worth of content here?
GOD no. This should be a premium XBLA/PSN arcade game. The lack of maps in the box really bums me out, and makes it feel like you're buying half a game; given the constant push for this game's "pass", it's safe to say the true cost of this thing is $110.
Which, for as lame as this is, I'm ok paying. It's certainly the best looking current gen game to date, and really is a ton of fun. But I'm well aware I'm getting reamed.
5/10. It would be a 10/10 if they had included the other half of the game in the box.

What I think is hilarious is that you know that 10 hours is more than enough to get your fill with the game before even playing it.
I honestly don't know what weapon mods in Star Wars would look like. There are no dot sights, no foregrips, no suppressors, and no one uses weapon camo.
That's what the beta ran at. Doubt it'll change.
It's a multiplayer shooter which I play super casually. Like I bought Battlefield 4 and Hardline and have probably put 8 hours total online. I play it for a bit and put them down. I barely have enough time to play the games I buy so this is great to give me my taste without wasting $79.99 here in Canada.

2 hours and I am bored of it. Fears from the beta have come through. Gameplay is too boring to play long term.
No, there's no trial of the trial. It's like 5 dollars for a month.
I have the same problem. Got it preordered for PC after playing the Beta on there. I'm worried about the population on PC too. If you check out some forums you get the feeling that most people are gonna get it on PS4. Most PC Games without a Server Browser have a really hard time imo. I'm thinking of switching my preorder to PS4 last minute.

Ah bummer, oh well... I'll just wait till the full release then. I think it's kinda silly to pay for it twice.

Fuck.
I'm jealous.
You can take the stormtroopers helmet off? That is horrible. What the hell!
Sounds kinda odd when we are talking about a multiplayer shooter.

When the quote in the thread name isn't even what Anakin said..
Fighter Squadron is such a let down. Why the f*ck is their AI in this mode? I was on a rampage only to find out I killed 12 AI ships lol why not make it 20v20 REAL players? also the dog fights is crap compared to something like Warhawk.
Once you've used your dodge/maneuver to avoid a missile, it has to charge up before you can use it again making it impossible to dodge anymore missiles. The ships should have something similar to Warhawk's "pro flight" controls, that's what you call dog fighting

My theory: In Warhawk whenever Dogfight showed up at least half the server quit. When everyone is flying an aircraft it can be really hard for the bottom half players to score a kill, much harder than say with effective as infantry. So fill half the map with AI so everyone can feel good about themselves. At the end of the day this is a game about playing your Star Wars fantasies, never intended to be highly competitive.
On a related note, I actually like the idea of blending AI with real players. In the original Battlefronts you could get up to 4 AI to follow you, so then when you 1v1 your friend it's a battle trudging through fodder but when you see your friend and his little squad things get intense. Amplify it up a little and there's some interesting dynamics at play that no one is willing it explore.

AN EWOK !
I got killed by an Ewok as a storm trooper by a rock in the head on Endor. Got an achievement for it.

No, Han said it instead. Anakin's line is a reference to it.
I was able to dodge missles without the built in evasive manuevers in beta. Atleast on hoth.
Whoa, whoa. Embargo.

I think that once you get beyond the sheen of Star Wars, the air combat is pretty awful.
Try going to the game in the market place and choose play it free through ea access. You'll download the trial client and you'll be able to play. Don't worry, you don't have to download the whole thing again
Thank you thank you thank you!

Just bad luck. I played the Walker mode twice, both times as the rebels, and won both times. Was very pleased and surprised, given how unbalanced people said it was during the beta.
Was going to post my thoughts but this post pretty much nails it. Don't think this game will hold my attention long enough to warrant a $60 purchase.
Looks and sounds really good though. If you are a Star Wars nut its right up your alley
This is not the same.

Yeah but in hindsight, Destiny Year One was a mess--in many eyes, a disaster in terms of content.
The lack of content here is the one factor preventing a preorder for me.
I would say it's closer to Titanfall's launch content. Sure we have stuff coming but out of the gate it is a little less than most people would like.
