AngryJoe on Star Wars Battlefront: "5/10"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Malmvi6GwDA
[i]The picture has an error[/i]
[spoiler]There are a whopping total of [u]6[/u] Heros in the new battlefront, not two. Still doesn't compare to [b][u]19[/u][/b], but it's better you should know. [/spoiler]
I probably hate AngryJoe as much as anyone, however I'm directing your attention to this review because it's spot on. It's worth noting that he calls this Reincarnation of Battlefront as Star Wars Battlefront [i]EA[/i], distinguishing it from its godly predecessors, which he refers to as Star Wars Battlefront.
For people trying to deny it, the game is bad. It's crap and you're hurting it by saying it's anything above Below Average.
Here are some of the points Joe brought out, they aren't word for word, but they grasp the main ideas.
•"God Awful" spawn placement
•Lack of prequel units (i.e. Clone wars)
•No Space battles
•Minimal playable vehicles
•Unbalanced weapons
•The fact that the most OP weapon was included in the deluxe edition, which cost ten dollars extra
•The coolest stuff (i.e. The extra-terrestrial rebel trooper skins and the scout/dark trooper skins) cost atleast twice as much as anything else in the game and require one to be max level which again takes an necessary amount of grinding.
•The two modes that "capture the feel of battlefront" (Supremacy and Walker Assault) only has four maps
•Partner system is very limited and broken
•Darth Vader and Luke have poor lightsaber mechanics (It's just spam the right trigger)
•Customization is bare bones
•Unbalanced Star Cards
•Single player is dull and also bare bones
•There are only 11 primary weapons
•$50 season pass
•No Galactic conquest
•No campaign
•Gets old quick
This is the complete list of what he mentioned in his 40 minute review and I agree with him. The game isn't what I, as a gamer, Star Wars fan and Battlefront fan expected. It's obvious that it was rushed out and I'm left asking "[i]Where is the rest of the game?"[/i]
What about [i]you?[/i] Do you agree with Joe and I?

3 RepliesI normally respect Joe as both a critic and a true gamer, but lately his biased fanboy side is starting to show. His Halo 5 review was filled with moments where he would outright ignore gameplay and instead focus on how he hates microtransactions, as well as more than a few moments where he insulted 343 for doing something that he somehow didn't know they were going to do. Like really Joe, you somehow never found out they weren't adding splitscreen? But I digress. His Fallout 4 review was very good, showing that he can still be an actual critic who doesn't let their emotions get the better of them. Then his Battlefront review came out. Let me just show you something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3VvqsO77qQ This is Joe and Joe reacting to the Star Wars VII trailer. Now, go to 32:10 on Joe's Battlefront review. https://youtu.be/Malmvi6GwDA Now Joe suddenly thinks that Battlefront will release yearly, alongside the movies. Again we see a strange trend of Joe's surprising lack of research, as well as strange contradictions. In the first video, Joe is extremely, yet cautiously excited. Yet in the review, Joe seems to have no hope in Ea nor Disney. http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/star-wars/241723/full-star-wars-movie-release-calendar Reading this article, there will technically be a new Star Wars film every year, however, this is not true if you're just looking at the main anthology films. There were more than a few moments in this review that felt like Joe had done a lack of research, or had just let his bias towards EA as well as his love of the original Battlefront games get in the way of giving this game a fair review. Like I said, I usually like Joe's reviews and respect him as a gamer and a critic, but lately he's been much more biased and has acted more like a raving hater/fanboy than an actual critic. Because of this, I will have to start trusting his reviews less until he can be more professional when he tells people what to spend their hard-earned money on, because I don't want to avoid a potentially great game because Joe whines about how it isn't as good as its predecessors.
