00:05 - 00:07 | Space Battles finally! |
00:07 - 00:10 | Free DLC to help not split up the community. |
00:11 - 00:14 | Great graphics, solid gameplay, looks exactly like the movies. |
00:15 - 00:16 | What could go wrong? |
00:17 - 00:19 | 40 hours to unlock Vader |
00:21 - 00:25 | 40! |
00:29 - 00:31 | 40! |
00:31 - 00:38 | To earn 60,000 credits, but it's ok because you can get credits through loot boxes! |
00:41 - 00:42 | A $60 game! |
00:42 - 00:45 | On top of the Star Cards that you can get through loot boxes |
00:45 - 00:48 | That give you a clear competitive advantages |
00:48 - 00:51 | You can either spend hundreds of hours upgrading cards |
00:51 - 00:58 | Or buy lootboxes for a chance to instantly get them, but it's "not pay to win" |
00:59 - 01:03 | EA community manager says it's so we get "pride and accomplishment" out of unlocking them! |
01:04 - 01:14 | It's now the lowest comment in Reddit history |
01:14 - 01:16 | Over 650k dislikes |
01:16 - 01:21 | Same guy called us armchair developers |
01:21 - 01:34 | Is he an armchair community manager? |
01:35 - 01:41 | Now people are refunding preorders in droves |
01:41 - 01:47 | But wait. EA saw the outrage and reduced all the hero prices to be fair |
01:47 - 01:49 | By 75% across the board |
01:50 - 01:53 | Then reduced the rate of in game rewards |
01:54 - 01:55 | by 75% |
01:55 - 01:58 | For single player. With a daily limit on credits |
01:58 - 02:02 | earned in arcade mode. Without telling anyone they did it. |
02:02 - 02:07 | Just mentioned the price cut. Cards are still pay to win too |
02:10 - 02:12 | And. And. |
02:15 - 02:20 | To buy everything in the game costs $2,000 |
02:22 - 02:28 | Or 1600.That's 4,528 hours. Six months straight. |
02:30 - 02:33 | 6 months of straight playing |
02:37 - 02:39 | 3,111 Lootboxes need to be opened. |
02:40 - 02:47 | But they still say it's not pay to win |
02:51 - 02:55 | Reviews are coming out for it now |
02:57 - 02:58 | Are the scores good? |
02:58 - 03:03 | Well Game Informer had to redo the review to give the game more points after the price cut. |
03:03 - 03:05 | They gave it a 6.5 |
03:05 - 03:08 | The Metacritic score on PS4 is up |
03:09 - 03:12 | 77 among critics |
03:16 - 03:20 | And 1.0 among users |
03:24 - 03:27 | But it's ok because according to the Reddit AMA they are, |
03:31 - 03:35 | "making adjustments and continually looking at data" |
