I went into Gamestop to pre-order Monster Hunter World and I cracked the joke 'Hey I'm here to cancel my order for Battlefield 2' and the dude behind the counter SIGHED and was like 'handle you over here, bud'. Defeat. Utter, complete and soul-destroying defeat was in his voice. Like this was the 500000000000th time it happened that day.

Idk how to bold but you missed a chance to end with "COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION" Darkwire. We all known that's their end goal, complete DLC coverage on EVERY-THANG.
@Graysett Ah, Resident Evil 5. The next time Capcom makes an RE related blunder, I'll gladly break out that line. As for bolding words, just put an asterisk "*" before and after your sentence.
I want to remind all of you that Battlefront 3 was being made just after the original Battlefront 2, but it was cancelled. Just look up the alpha for the game and you'll see that the alpha alone has more content and ambition than EA's Battlefront series.
the game costs 80 dollars and all the familiar characters cost a shitload of extra microtransaction bucks: aka you bought a star wars game at full price and they charge you extra to play as a star wars character
Turns out that guy who got the death threats didn't even work for EA! He was just weirdly defending him independently! Why the fuck would he do that? No idea, he's got a history of this!
Turns out the death threats were a hoax, Kotakut tried to verify but couldn't confirm that the account was linked to any member of the development team.
I'm going to go on a limb and suggest you may need to re-evaluate what you value in your relationships. Here's some help: What they think about a video game should be _pretty fucking low on the list_ .
i'm gonna play devil's advocate here in my response: "all they do is defend this shit" sir, (or madam, i don't fuckin' know) don't worry too much about your meatspace friends. you can always just hop onto a discord server or join a guild. and, of course, 2d waifu's are always better than 3d waifu's.
Dress up as a ten-year-old Russian orphan girl and have them adopt you, then kill them but not before you make them go mad with crazy shenanigans by implicating them in a series of crimes you committed
I'm sorry, did Pat just try to say he hates the whole lootboxes thing when he once did a stream of just opening lootboxes? Pat, I love you, but that's fucked and you know it.
IamTMan007 Pat is a addict that knows he is a part of the problem that’s destroying civilization (well the game industry in this case), but continues to shoot up. At least he knows he’s apart of what’s killing the industry. I guess...
nickismader He's the crack addict the principal gets to do the anti-drug PSA because he can't find anyone good and he just spends the whole class telling the kids how great crack is.
Remember when one of the biggest problems Star Wars fans had with the franchise was the amount of content Lucas jammed into the prequels? Boy, I'm glad those days are gone. The overacting, complicated plot and general creativity can't reach me if it's behind a paywall!
NO! EA don't listen to him. Listen to me. Just give ALL of your money to Bioware to make up for Andromeda and have some faith. Give them faith and no deadlines.
As much as there's an outcry, the game will still turn out a massive profit and there will be a third one with even more microtransactions. There is no end in sight to this shit.
Very true, I see a lot of games journalists/ critics that when they talk about this kind of issue, they cry out to the developer and or publisher calling their practices shitty and unethical which may be the case but they'd have to be idiots from a capitalistic stance to not continue to ride the microtransaction gravy train for as long as it'll go as long as it keeps giving enormous returns.
Erik Kain said as much on Forbes today. People need to not buy the game or this will continue to happen. Sadly, and this is speaking for myself now, there are enough star wars fanatics and degenerate gamblers that EA will make money.
Joseph Lien There’s a petition to get it classified as gambling which would make all games that have it mature or adult only which would limit sales and really give negative pr to the system
Thanks EA.Not only will I️ not ever play any new EA game from here on out, but I️ won’t even go see Star Wars The Last Jedi because I️ only feel angry when I️ think of Star Wars because of you. Good job.
the battlefield games have been like this for years...i haven't unlocked every weapon in a battlefield game since bad company 2...AND I PLAYED MORE HOURS IN BATTLEFIELD 3...LIKE WAY MORE...and never unlocked all the weapons...i'm talking hundreds of hours...and still didn't get all the weapons...it fucking sucks, i want my content i paid for
I never played the first one because it had no singleplayer, i didn't even touch the beta, instead i went to my friend's house and played Battlefront 2 on Xbox. This game, I am going to buy this game even with all this bull going on, but i will buy it Used several months from now and Never play the multiplayer because i hate lootboxes, and worse than that, i hate Card based systems.
I want to make it clear that this is a specific department within dev companies and the general lot of publishers. Most devs HATE THIS. MOST DEVS HATE THIS. I fucking hate this. This cancer needs to go away. Please don't let up and keep raging... but do it responsibly without saying you're going to kill us.
This has been a problem since Overwatch... hell its been going on for a very long time but only now has it been brought to light... not saying Overwatch is terrible, but once companies realized how exploitable micro transactions and dlc costs were, due to Overwatches overwhelming popularity it was game over for us... loot boxes existed beforehand don't get me wrong, but no one really noticed the potential of it being the ultimate cash cow in video game history... as someone who has been playing video games since I was 4 it's very disappointing and sad to see how far games have come but stoop so very low... it honestly breaks my heart, because I love games of all kinds, from playing tag to playing cards to playing checkers and chess to playing on gaming consoles... it's ridiculous how easily manipulated we as a gaming community can be and are, because those companies know how to exploit our emotions, our passion and once they find the sweet spot of how much they can get through their calculations we stay quiet and content... it's awful... make trash game outta something popular, jack up the prices on extras and wait for your audience to start raging and throwing out numbers... then you calculate the average of what what people are willing to pay and you offer to "fix" some issues with the game but not fix it entirely... its odd, because we give Nintendo so much hell because it's always been so bare bones... but that's the beauty of Nintendo! There's a reason why people have that phrase: "it's that Nintendo polish" Nintendo never cared about graphics or the addition of various apps and they put them in granted but the apps were very bare bones themselves... Nintendo always focused on gameplay first, they dedicated themselves to being a gaming console, not an entertainment console that has everything and trashy gameplay...
I was gonna get the game too mainly because the story line was something different (not really basic story of bad guy switching side halfway thro game) but with shot with ea. Yeah no
Is their any... ANY? Possible way this kind of business will stop. I pine for the old days where people just made full game and shipped them, I’m tired of day one downloades or updates, and dlc, and loot boxes, and micro transactions. My favorite game had none of that and I’m saddened deeply by this shit
Taylor Thortsen yes. if everybody blacklists any game with microtransactions and every game with pre-orders, then the market will crash and they'll be forced to restart like an indie company. good luck.
The heroes in the first one werent even fun, they were shallow 1 button op characters, the fact that is probably the same thing in this one makes it worse
i just.... i just cant stop looking at Egg-Pat...
@Patrick Starmie
You mean Pat Luthor?
He once stole 40 cakes when no one was looking...
+Darkwireman Forty cakes? That's as many as four tens!
TheHardM That's horrible.
Kingpin but weak and small, but also not Kingpin.
Northernlion is an egg, Pat's more of a cantaloupe
I went into Gamestop to pre-order Monster Hunter World and I cracked the joke 'Hey I'm here to cancel my order for Battlefield 2' and the dude behind the counter SIGHED and was like 'handle you over here, bud'.
Defeat. Utter, complete and soul-destroying defeat was in his voice. Like this was the 500000000000th time it happened that day.
Arkiuz Clyne that's actually a little sad
*_"Something something something, microtransactions...something something something, complete..."_*
Darkwireman *_Something something failure of game design._*
*_"Use your addictive nature, boy. Take your consumer cash; strike me down with it, and your journey to the _**_-Gambling-_**_ Loot Side will be complete!"_*
Idk how to bold but you missed a chance to end with "COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION" Darkwire. We all known that's their end goal, complete DLC coverage on EVERY-THANG.
@Graysett
Ah, Resident Evil 5. The next time Capcom makes an RE related blunder, I'll gladly break out that line.
As for bolding words, just put an asterisk "*" before and after your sentence.
*Noted.*
I want to remind all of you that Battlefront 3 was being made just after the original Battlefront 2, but it was cancelled. Just look up the alpha for the game and you'll see that the alpha alone has more content and ambition than EA's Battlefront series.
BUT DEM GRAPHICS THO. Some ones gotta pay for them, and there's no way in hell EAs gonna use the "profits" they keep in their tax shelters.
I fuckin' love Charlie Brown Pat!
Gee, I wouldn't feel proud or accomplished of getting ripped off for 80 bucks but that's just me.
E N G E L S Props to you for getting here early and writing an actual comment
Excuse me but I don't really follow this game
Did they offer Vader for $80 and it still not unlocks or the issue is that he's worth that?
the game costs 80 dollars and all the familiar characters cost a shitload of extra microtransaction bucks: aka you bought a star wars game at full price and they charge you extra to play as a star wars character
Yep, without using real life cash, it takes up to 40 hours of grinding.
Aidan Smith Jesus so 80 for faceless goons and multiplayer and any named character costs extra? Might as well call it battlefront feat. Star wars
Turns out that guy who got the death threats didn't even work for EA! He was just weirdly defending him independently! Why the fuck would he do that? No idea, he's got a history of this!
Turns out the death threats were a hoax, Kotakut tried to verify but couldn't confirm that the account was linked to any member of the development team.
"Where did you accomplishment and pride go?"
"Make everybody pay!"
Only 5 death threats? Man the internet has really chilled out these days.
Matthew Coyle It's the internet, that's going to happen. Also, 7 out of 100k+ downvotes is really low. There will always be idiots.
RenovatedLee No I'm saying that it's astonishingly low and that the internet HAS chilled out.
NotRenovatedEnoughLee
you know what? i'm proud of the internet. only 5 death threats is a respectable amount.
"All in the game, yo; all in the game."
TieDef /EA it's in the game!.......
Eventually
The pride and accomplishment meme is almost rivaling the function meme at this point
AMAZING
This is why I don't like hanging out with my in-person friends anymore, because all they do is defend this shit.
I'm going to go on a limb and suggest you may need to re-evaluate what you value in your relationships.
Here's some help: What they think about a video game should be _pretty fucking low on the list_ .
i'm gonna play devil's advocate here in my response:
"all they do is defend this shit"
sir, (or madam, i don't fuckin' know) don't worry too much about your meatspace friends.

Why do I have a feeling that you're antagonistic whenever the conversation crops up so they just stopped associating with you?
The future of gaming everybody
Or we could buy games like Hotline Miami or Darkwood or New Vegas. Vote with your wallets people!
Jerry McGhoulberry the last big budget game i bought was pokemon alpha saphire.

Yal Rathol i have no money ;-;
The future of Triple A games*
Get it right, lad.
Goddammit EA, this isn't Clash Royale! I shouldn't have to play for +40 hours just to buy one character!
2:53 I think that's Woolie disliking the comment.
The one noble thing Woolie has ever done.
EA making more cuts than Pat's hairline.
Five death threats is not enough to unlock Vader.
I'm sorry, did Pat just try to say he hates the whole lootboxes thing when he once did a stream of just opening lootboxes?
Pat, I love you, but that's fucked and you know it.
IamTMan007 to be fair, hots is f2p while this game isn't
No he said they disagreed with the hate on lootboxes.
Pat puts the cart before the horse sometimes.
Also, you can _absolutely_ hate something you personally participate in.
IamTMan007 Pat is a addict that knows he is a part of the problem that’s destroying civilization (well the game industry in this case), but continues to shoot up. At least he knows he’s apart of what’s killing the industry. I guess...
nickismader He's the crack addict the principal gets to do the anti-drug PSA because he can't find anyone good and he just spends the whole class telling the kids how great crack is.
I'm surprised Liam didn't burst through the fucking wall Kool-Aid man style to start immediately defending EA
"Come on guys it's not that bad, you can still play the game and use the same guns."
Everytime EA closes a studio Liam consumes said studio's essence to maintain his youth.
PolarPhantom it's all being stored in his beard.
G Lestrade why would Liam ever defend this?
Platano Cruz because liam is the most optimistic man on the planet.
...did Woolie just say "my sister's brother"?
Requian You have to remember Madden town has vast and interconnected family tree.
yea? it could be a half sister who has a half brother. It makes sense
Edit: 600K + downvotes now
I don't understand why EA keeps thinking they can get away with shit like this and not met mass public backlash from all corners of the earth.
Remember when one of the biggest problems Star Wars fans had with the franchise was the amount of content Lucas jammed into the prequels? Boy, I'm glad those days are gone. The overacting, complicated plot and general creativity can't reach me if it's behind a paywall!
Pat without hair looks like Karl Pilkington.
EA...just get out of gaming.
NO! EA don't listen to him. Listen to me. Just give ALL of your money to Bioware to make up for Andromeda and have some faith. Give them faith and no deadlines.
furyberserk alright, i was hoping for a graceful death, but i can respect the desire to desecrate EA's corpse.
furyberserk also give respawn enough money to where they dont need you EA!
Bioware doesn't deserve a penny from anyone
Disney, Buy EA.
The death threats were found out to be by someone pretending to be a developer, sucks.
It seems that the threshold was not as calculated they thought.
As much as there's an outcry, the game will still turn out a massive profit and there will be a third one with even more microtransactions. There is no end in sight to this shit.
Very true, I see a lot of games journalists/ critics that when they talk about this kind of issue, they cry out to the developer and or publisher calling their practices shitty and unethical which may be the case but they'd have to be idiots from a capitalistic stance to not continue to ride the microtransaction gravy train for as long as it'll go as long as it keeps giving enormous returns.
Erik Kain said as much on Forbes today. People need to not buy the game or this will continue to happen. Sadly, and this is speaking for myself now, there are enough star wars fanatics and degenerate gamblers that EA will make money.
This makes me fucking pissed...I loved the original SW:BF II and this?! This is just goddamn horse shit.
Joseph Lien There’s a petition to get it classified as gambling which would make all games that have it mature or adult only which would limit sales and really give negative pr to the system
God, I would love if that happened.
No. no please. no no non o god pls no plz plzs pls
i want hair pat back
i'm sure pat wants hair-pat back, too
So I guess he was experiencing some hair loss and said fuck it and shaved it all off?
DavidCrimson I fucked my ftm girlboifriend while they dressed as ash Crimson
Thanks EA.Not only will I️ not ever play any new EA game from here on out, but I️ won’t even go see Star Wars The Last Jedi because I️ only feel angry when I️ think of Star Wars because of you. Good job.
Can’t wait for the Crowbcat video

Pat's dome has me mesmerized.
That is *not* why people hate Jim Sterling
Lord Coola why do they? I'm looking for a summary so I don't have to use my limited internet access to research this.
Lord Cola That is at least one reason why people hate Jim Sterling.
PrettyH8Mach1n3 People hate him cause he's black.
You need lootboxes to unlock Pat's missing hair.
I'm just picturing Scott Steiner, game development consultant.
Glad we got a full imp campaign rather the protag going turn coat 1/3 of the way through.
the battlefield games have been like this for years...i haven't unlocked every weapon in a battlefield game since bad company 2...AND I PLAYED MORE HOURS IN BATTLEFIELD 3...LIKE WAY MORE...and never unlocked all the weapons...i'm talking hundreds of hours...and still didn't get all the weapons...it fucking sucks, i want my content i paid for
last battlefield game i played was battlefield 4..which was thw worst for unlocking shit, i just stopped playing, it wasnt fun, went to titanfall
Which was a bigger fail Pokémon Go Summer Festival or Battlefront 2?
I never played the first one because it had no singleplayer, i didn't even touch the beta, instead i went to my friend's house and played Battlefront 2 on Xbox.

I was planning on getting battlefront 2, but I think I'll just play my original battlefront 2 (2005)
Can we just have OLD star wars battlefront 2? But you know, remastered or remade. I would pay 80 for that
I was gonna get the game too mainly because the story line was something different (not really basic story of bad guy switching side halfway thro game) but with shot with ea. Yeah no
Why is kingpin in this?
Protest EA by not buying their scams.
Honestly I'm just gonna get the game on black Friday and only play the campaign.

People hate him or a few reasons.
