I found he beta boring with extremely shallow gameplay. Therefore I have no incentive to buy the full game at a ludicrous $60. My experience combined with the fact that most critical reviews are reinforcing my thoughts on the beta mean I most definitely will not be playing and "trying the full game for myself".

"A ludicrous $60"? It's only ludicrous because you didn't like the game. And that's fine, but YOU played the beta, and YOU formed an opinion. No one game is for everyone, Star Wars isn't for you, and your opinion is valid.

Yep and if people are having fun with it good for them. However I can't justify $60 for a multiplayer only game that has a shallow multiplayer experience. If your game is going to be focused on multiplayer only, it had better be one of the best damn multiplayer games around, which battlefront most certainly is not. Honestly if it wasn't Star Wars and was instead a new IP, people would be ripping this game apart for its gameplay and lack of modes/features. EA Charging an additional $50 for the season pass actually makes me laugh out loud.

You can always rent it unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

I guess some people can't think for themselves and need random internet people to make their decisions for them.

Seriously. Thinking for yourself and forming your own opinion are a thing of the past.

Who told you that? Did you learn that from Metacritic? [spoiler];D[/spoiler]
