make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Thanks, of course the weapons aren't unlocked. I hate this gen.

I blame Monkey Island for finding those symbols hilarious 100% of the time.

An awesome coincidence, but the TIE didn't hit him.

Well kinda harkens back to the old X-Wing games. Reducing your thruster power put it into shields and weapons for more damage
Yeah, I can see that, it just seems weird that it's the only thing that harkens back to the sim aspect, especially since we can't control shield strength for specific sides and firing patterns like in X-Wing/TIE Fighter.

I've put far more hours into this than BO3. I guess it depends on how much you like the Star Wars context. I am not a huge Star Wars fan, but I really dig playing in that universe.

Endor feels like you are actually in a woodland area, very authentic and natural looking. Other games have sparse trees, with flat ground textures, spares flora, and little elevated terrain .

Present! Jakku could change that, but I have no idea what is coming in that (beyond "4 maps" which doesn't mean much).
This is a situation where a lot of roadmap transparency would help.

Nope. Still enjoying it. Almost at 30 hours of playtime.

And why would I want them?
Best kill ever lol
For me there is enough to justify the price. I'm going to put as much time in this as I do BO3. I do think they should outline exactly whats in the upcoming season pass but there are enough games modes to quench my thirst.
I would say anyone on the fence should probably wait for a sale.

Wait, what? They changed that after the Beta?

If you are at all hesitant I'd wait for a discount. I love the game but that's because I love Star Wars. I've enjoyed the gameplay so far even on the repetitive maps. I might be singing a different tune in a week or two. So far though I have no problem with it. I also got the game for $30 so there's that.
Lan Dong Mik
And why would I want them?
I mean it just depends on the person. To me, I think it has plenty of content out of the gate, but I can understand why some people don't think so. Just remember in two weeks or so everyone gets Jakku for free, which add's an additional map. I think it's well worth the price of admission.

Yeah and it's bullshit. It's a level 13 unlock. I hit that after 8-9 hours of playing.
Posted up my Highlights video from last night. PC Version, Ultra settings.

That is how it was in X-wing vs. Tie, as well as the movies. Convert power to engines or weapons. It is a nice touch.
I am glad I read it too, because I did not think they would get that detailed.
I think the purpose in Beta was to get everyone to test it faster.

I wasn't the biggest fan of BF4's customization but after playing this for about 5 hours, it needs a bit more of that.
At the very least let me pick what Rebel costume I use regardless of map and maybe give some markings for stormtroopers.

I'm fine with the weapon selection and (lack of) customization as is, but agree that there should be more character customization besides heads.

Jakku DLC is free for everyone, no matter which version.
The code is a pre-order bonus at all retailers to allow 1 week early access to the content on December, 1st.

I agree. Being at work today sucks. I cant wait to get home and play more Heroes vs. Villians. That mode is so great, I cant wait until they add Darth Maul to it.

Yeah im not asking for anything crazy(like Mando armor or something) just a bit more variety.
Maybe even just adding the flight suits or bringing back the Vanguard as an unlockable skin like scout and Shadow Trooper
Force Awakens actually has different vehicle paint jobs.
So in other words I received two codes for Jakku DLC then, correct? Since I already redeemed the Deluxe Edition content which came with a Jakku DLC code.

I can't believe I am saying this because the last few EA shooters I was like we don't need the campaign.
This engine and this game is begging for a "Shadows Of The Empire" like campaign. Some shooting levels, some flying levels etc..
damn

It was probably mis-worded on their part, or original promotional wording that changed. The Deluxe code is for the emotes and weapon unlocks, and the pre-order code is for the 1 week early.
Just think of how awesome Amy Hennig's Star Wars campaign is going to be with the Frostbite Engine.
Probably focused on 30fps locked, so I am just imagining the visual upgrades.

Which is why we're getting one next fall (likely in time for Rogue One). Directed by the same person that headed up Uncharted 2.

you can join games easy enough but you can only partner with 1 person. So its will be 2 and 2 working together.

i believe you can only partner up with one other player.
im sure you can find games together but the battlefield style squad stuff is not in there from what ive played
Been playing it for several hours now and I'm having a blast! I get the content complaints, but I feel like I am going to definitely get my money's worth out of this. I didn't play the beta, so I didn't know what to expect, but its a ton of fun. Normal combat is great, and becoming a hero feels extremely satisfying. I suck at vehicle combat right now, but I just need practice.

This is the best looking game right now. I'm in absolute awe this is running at 60fps
You'll have to really find out how you define value yourself because that's a tricky question.
For me? Yeah, totally. 3 hours in, and over 10 on the beta, yeah I'm going to definitely going to get my moneys worth. I doubt I'll put in 100 hours, but I feel like there's enough content for me to justify the price.
It's just really incredibly fun. The gameplay is on point.

Amazing. I think these are the type of moments the nature of its sandbox type of gameplay is going to define this game.
