Has anyone here tried Star Wars Battlefront (2015) yet? It looks like a really epic game from the Youtube videos I have seen.
The sounds and graphics are amazing, but it looks like it might possibly have a lack in content.
If you've played it, what did you think?

There seems to be a lot of hype. Haven't played it yet.

I heard there are many bugs, not to add to the fact the servers are horrible. I chose not to buy it after my friend got it.

PC version is horrible because mainly only console users play the game. The graphics are surprisingly amazing for console and I am surprised with the FPS.

I'd genuinely be tempted to play it if it wasn't so expensive...i feel like if you're buying a multiplayer only game it should be half the price of a usual title.

Yeah, I would love to play it. But $60 is a bit steep for the actual value of the game.

I feel like Games will only increase in price, due to inflation I don't mind paying £40 ($60) if the game has a single player and multiplayer aspect I.e. Dragon Age: Inquisition or Halo 5.

But when a game is multiplayer only then I won't pay over £20 for it and if it has a subscription attached then I'm definitely not going to play it, I don't see the point in paying £40 for a game to then pay £10 a month extra to play it.

It feels like we're getting less for our money as time goes on by, yearly releases are ridiculous, I feel like I don't miss the story enough and that the games are always rushed I.e. Assassins creed Unity is an excellent example, there's more assassin's creed games out there now than I could play in a reasonable amount of time, they have little to no replay value and they're basically clones.

Where games like GTA V have interesting plots, relatable characters and a decent amount of replay or continuous playability (GTA: Online & doing the missions differently)

But still people see hype and they pre-order ignorantly and they end up buying half completed or piss poor effort games and because gaming giants like EA know people will do this, they end up getting milked and then shafted, I personally feel like a majority of publishers release games that have huge release day patches which absolutely sucks because it takes hours to download them.

Another thing that bugs me is the rarity of a physical disc now, if you're going to release a game that is download only even if you buy a case for it, then actually include the game on a disc do not give me a download code inside of a shitty case, I buy discs to install my games directly so I don't have to spend hours downloading.

Anyway rant over.

TL;DR Battlefront is equal to buying bottled water.

The Assasin's Creed game example is good; there are just so many of them being pumped out... I've completely lost track.
If I ever developed a game, I'd probably have a more creative and reasonable payment system... People would be allowed to play the game (for free) for a certain amount of time (gameplay time) like 4 hours (or something). And then (if it was a good game) they would be more willing to pay the main price.
I agree with you about wanting a physical CD. And maybe they should even replace your CD (for a small fee) if it gets wrecked or scratched. But I can see how that could be exploited.
