Ok, lemme rephrase that, since you're probably right as long as you guys have that planned in the next 100 years.

ACC football championship game or TES6...

someone on the PR team needs to learn about removing all ambiguity from crisis messaging re: the penultimate line

I played a little battlefront in the first game and never got into it. It seems so slow moving around. Maybe I missed something.
 
"We're sorry we tried to fuck you without lube. We're going to engage in some pillow talk, pretend to listen to your problems, distract you while we get you lubed up - then at a later date we're still going to fuck you."
 
"Buy the game now, get used to it, then we will bring in what we were going to bring in anyways so you have no refund opportunities and are already into the game - meanwhile we can use the high sales of the game to show our investors we're making mad cash!"
 
Even after those changes, I read the Ars review this morning that says Battlefront II isn't even a good game.

Star Wars: Battlefront II review: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope
Even if EA fulfills promises, this game may still be too far gone to the Dark Side.

... If EA flattens the game's economy so that players start out on a more equal footing, then we may be on to something. Even then, there's still the issue of online combat that favors cheap BP gathering, lone-wolf slogs, and boring tactics over either satisfying tactics or down-and-dirty arcade fun. I will keep my eyes on the game for any major, tide-turning changes that could redeem the game's solid, glossy bits. Until then, EA's talk is cheap, and its product feels even cheaper. Avoid Star Wars: Battlefront II.

The good:

DICE combines its Frostbite engine and its visual design chops to make the most beautiful Star Wars game yet.
Fan-service nuggets, solid acting make the plot's best bits must-see stuff for any series fan.

The bad:

THUNK. That's the sound of a giant binder landing on a table to explain the game's cockamamie economy at launch.
Star Cards, as they currently function, prevent new players from learning and appreciating high-level gameplay systems.
Flying segments thrill at first blush but continue to lack enough tactical or control options.
Our pre-release tests revealed some hilarious visual bugs while testing on Xbox One X.

The ugly:

The fact that half-cooked, trying-to-please-everybody combat will still be there, even if EA fixes the game's economy issues.

Verdict: Avoid.

I played a few games last night at midnight. I want to know why this one and the first one have the longest loading times of any game I've ever played. It is ridiculous. Titanfall 2 you just fall into games after 7-8 seconds, this one you sit on a loading screen for a minute or longer.

yeah, TF was great about that. But I think the PUBG instant-new game mechanic should be the standard
 
I'll probably do the same thing with this game that I did with AC: Unity. When that game came out I'd say there was about this level of negative press about the game and people calling it shit. I just waited around 6 months for the game to patch out all the bad pointless stuff and it was a solid AC game.

I'm gonna guess you didn't play Battlefield 1 then...loading times for matches in that game were easily 5 minutes.
