I hope greed doesn't take over this one as usual with EA, but most likely everyone at EA has already forgotten past lessons, let's see.You want a gigantic open world with lots of fetch quests and copy pasted shit to do? PLEASE NO.
In the first game its possible to change difficulty so even for me it was totally doable on Jedi Knight 'Master was a bit too punishing for my taste/first playthrough'.
So yeah, it's not that people easily hate on EA but the body's natural response in protecting itself.
Sadly, Disney came through and mucked things up and canceled it after their acquisition of Star Wars. Ever since then they restructured LucasArts (closed it down) and gave reigns to EA and they've trashed any Star Wars game they put their hands on and Disney hasn't done the movie/shows they've been part of much justice. The new movies sucked and the new shows haven't been that good. Obi-Wan is boring so far and the antagonist is very cliché, stiff and boring on the screen (much like Kylo Ren)....
The Mandalorian is okay, but the removal of Gina Carano was stupid and I thought the killing off of Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant - to my understanding he was killed, based on the events of the show) was lame.
Boba Fett has been lack luster, I can't really explain it, but it just seems dumb. Boba Fett was kind of a mysterious figure in the movies, never revealing his face and he just seemed to badassed. Watching the show he seems like how he looks, old, slow and uninteresting. I don't know, maybe I'm expecting too much.
I don't have any faith in Disney or EA in handling the Star Wars franchise.
Battlefield 2042
Mass effect andromeda (leads to ANTHEM)
Dead space 3
All sucked arse.
EA has a long track record of royally screwing game devs and properties. Bet theres gonna be some loot box tier BS in this game. It's on EA to prove otherwise, they are one of the scummiest publishers out there, right up there with ubisoft and activision.
I miss Kyle and JanOh, I'm not alone here.
EA is allegedly pursuing a sale and ‘has talked to Apple, Amazon and Disney’
But it's not just EA. Tripple A gaming will become even worse in the comming years, developers blood will be sucked out by corporate vampires & their empty bodies will be dumped on the graveyard when they move on to their next capitalist victims: "Because video games have outperformed many industries hurt by the pandemic, public and private investors have started to target the industry as a perceived safe bet."
