At least on the surface of things they are. Hopefully the game ships and it's polished enough and has a compelling single player campaign with a certain degree of variety to it. DICE have a habit of half arsing their single player campaigns. But yeah, the check list is very reminiscent of how games used to be.
Hey, it even comes with the very consumer-friendly loot boxes with randomly generated rewards available through micro-transactions! What could possibly go wrong? ;)

Those things that people cry about in Overwatch even though you get skins for free and it provides the basis for great post-launch support Not a whole lot, really. If people want to spend money on nothing so that I get free content, more power to them.
If they influence the gameplay that's another story.
"Unlike its predecessor, Battlefront 2 has randomised crates of Star Cards that offer gameplay-affecting power-ups. These can give you more health, power up weapons, boost damage or grant other special abilities - such as a healing effect for nearby allies."
It's Dice/EA. What could possibly go wrong here ?
Just go ahead and preorder ya pitiful braindead consumers.
Hope it crashes for you! Like... a lot! :)

Yea the last like four or five DICE launches were all trainwrecks. Oh, wait.. no you'd have to go back to BF4 for that. And the irony? BF4 is their best game in years and maybe for years to come.

Right. I think programmable shaders were adopted fairly early on consoles (xbox360/ps3) (5 Days ago)

@toelessfoot: Well, only recently they have been. I think this is the first gen I've seen where PC's are playing catch up. Not through hardware power, but through development cycles (5 Days ago)
toelessfoot
Yeah I think innovations on the console side are taken up more quickly by PC than vice versa because consoles are really lead platform for everything (5 Days ago)
MrWhite
At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (6 Days ago)
MrWhite
I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (6 Days ago)
MrWhite
If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (6 Days ago)
