Brilliant. Someone who doesn't even own the game pontificating like an expert on it. ๐
"Couldn't play the game". There's literally a bunch of single player content in the game. It's not online-only.
Believe it or not it's possible to gather information about things without directly experiencing it and I tend to do this with new games. I also already have the originals on steam.
Yes and it's a multiplayer classic that they couldn't play multiplayer in. It doesn't ruin the game, it didn't destroy the experience permanently, it's not the end of the world, but it's shit and only happened because of the publisher's greed. No clue why you feel the need to defend it really.
[Edit] I also haven't said a single word that even implies I'm an expert on it. I mentioned bugginess that I said I saw in a comment and talked about servers being unavailable. What level of star wars battlefront expert do you think I need to be to discuss specific star wars battlefront things like...bugs and servers?
I wouldn't be defending the game if it was actually as broken as is being made out.
It's vastly overblown.
But all people have said is that it's buggy on switch (with screenshot proof) and that there weren't enough servers for hours after launch. Is it you that's overblowing it?
The article linked at the top literally calls it a "disaster".
That's a fair point. Though the actual people I've seen talking about it have said it's buggy as well though, more than a few have refunded.
