  • $35
  • Crashing on all platforms
  • Unstable, small servers that account for barely any total players gamewide
  • Controls are trash
  • Bloated install size due to the game being an uncompressed AI upscale
  • Bug riddled
  • Locked to 30FPS
  • Cutscenes are out of order or not playing at all

Sounds like a great time!

Aspyr sure is reliable!

I feel like I hear about this happening to more and more AAA releases as time goes on. What the heck is happening? Are these companies hiring literal chimpanzees to run their QA departments?

It's funny since Aspyr's Tomb Raider trilogy a few weeks ago was overall pretty great.

It's more about the releases being rushed I assume. Also this isn't AAA

100% this not QA's fault. Some executives figured that they could a lot of easy money reselling old beloved video games to fans, and thinking they could keep costs low because it's a game that was already made and assuming using AI tools to make it look better requires no effort at all. Then when all the standard bugs and complications crop up the dev teams tell them they need more time and money to fix it but that wasn't in the cards because the higher ups had made promises that this would be a cheap and easy project and won't change the budget. So they put their foot down while the dev team does what they can (that is, very little) and force out something that pleases no one.

I guarantee some people got a very big bonus for releasing this on time and on budget. The fact that it's a piece of garbage doesn't matter. Especially if the sales from the nostalgia base and Star Wars fans pan out anyway.

Apparently they just stole some guys mod in order to put these "new" heroes in the game?

I woulda bought this easily for 15, maybe even for the sale price, if it wasn't dogshit. The original Battlefront 2 was the first multiplayer game I ever got properly into, and probably my most played video game of all time. What a ridiculous mess.

I like how people according to that tweet suspected this would happen anyway. Like how bad of a rep do you have to have

The install size is what gets me the most. It's like, what, 80GB up from 3GB? Why. I mean I get how but... why
