Clearly the game did not blow him away.
So we can say this game was a total...Failure?
+WICKED is good it'll be a dark memoir in the dairy of Jane
+Potago Hawk im going to need to Medicate after these comments
+Potago Hawk The "dairy" of Jane? Does she make milk there or butter? Maybe cheese? How about yogurt?
+Nick Dufrene bit of everything, the dairy market is wide open but she'd invested heavily in Star Wars Battlefront
Guess he's "Had Enough".
thats a great song.
I *believe* I get the joke
That’s a good Joke.
Did he *torn* the game *in two*
Laugh.
I say he wrote more Thoughts about this Game in the Diary of Jane.
This game left him So Cold, it really didn't take the Breath right out of him. He couldn't even go on Until The End of the game it frustrated him so much.
Yeah I think he's Had Enough. Sooner or Later it's going to get under his Skin and he'll have a Breakdown.
YALL IM DEAD 💀
I'd rather read the Diary of Jane than play this diarrhea game.
I guess the game left him with a RED COLD RIVER of sadness
After playing that game, all he wanted to do was Forget It
I love that he's playing Halo. That game's how I found these guys.
+Chris Ray Gun Just scrolling down the comments section and suddenly Chris Ray Gun.
Chris Ray Gun Holy shit it’s you!
Chris Ray Gun Yeah same. My favorite game ever is Halo 2, and their song Blow Me Away is in that game, They're now my favorite band, too
Oh? Hey Chris, you come here often?
yes,same here,blow me away at gravemind level :D
Star Wars Battlefront: Buy the disc to allow you to later on buy the game.
Yours truly, EA
+mbavalo Hah perfect!
mbavalo
Nice profile pic.
Thank you Dovakhiin
2 years later the game is still a Failure, Never Again will benjamin be Blown Away by another EA game, might as well Forget It
and yet EA still don't care...they will still continue to make games the same way they always have...because in their mind they are right and everyone else is wrong. at least some other gaming companies are starting to realise "maybe we need to change our marketing angle" or "maybe we need to change how do we things". i have spoken with various people both in the game stores and online and that seems to be the sort of vibe i'm getting. some companies are learning that after a game doesn't sell well...they alter their way of thinking.
lets look at some examples: Titanfall 1 was only online...didn't do so well. so they made Titanfall 2 offline as well as online...it catered to a more versatile market that way. that is called learning from mistakes.
Meanwhile Destiny has constantly kept online only and it still is doing poorly...because they refuse to alter the game style.
Everyone thought Anthem was going to do really well...but it has fallen faster than a plane without fuel (ironic considering the game play style of being iron man rip offs) and Bethesda hasn't helped by actually BANNING anyone who tries to play Anthem a certain way.
This might be my opinion but fighting games liek Mortal Kombat and Tekken...are designed to be offline...sure you could fight online...and no one is stopping you. but i think priority one in thsoe games should always be to the offline community...so when SF V did the unspeakable and prioritised online over offline...i think i had a good reason for wanting to to sue Capcom.
there was a time when EA actually CARED about good games...when they put work and effort into their games. especially some of their extreme sport games...in fact SSX (Snowboard Super Cross) was one of the best EASports Big games of all time...but it was from an era when they actually made an effort...and characters had detail to them...right down to favourite food. nowadays games are about making your own characters and the parts you customize with require your own money or DLC...so basically you're being ripped off.
PappuFrosty love ur puns
I guess they don’t *believe* how much time they’ve taken *away*
Cringey
Noice 👌👌
Love him and the band even more after this. At least someone is able to speak their actual opinion instead of rehashing the same bullshit post about how great this overpriced and overrated game was.
+Ben Dover He's a fucking douchebag. These asshats said online gaming sucks and your so fucking blind over your hatred of EA you looked right past it.
+Ben Dover That’s not an oppinion, that’s just somebody being butthurt about how he isn’t able to play online FPS.
+EQOAnostalgia wouldn't he be more of an asshole to just take the money and lie and say the game was great?
Horst Wrabetz I guess you don't understand what an opinion is (imo)
EQOAnostalgia right past what? A shitty rehashing of the same style FPS that has been coming out over and over again? Online-only games DO suck and they are killing the industry right now.
They even played the Imperial March at their latest concerts. So he's clearly a huge Star Wars fan. I'm taking his word for it
Thank you for calling EA out on their BS and not selling out
Wow, EA fanboys actually exists? That's a shock from all those dislikes! I always thought they never existed, especially how hated EA is.
+randomstupidrandom the game is garbage. Enjoy your 9 maps and $50 season pass lol
+Zaphael EA fanboys are either bandwagons are or being paid by EA to talk well of their products. Anyone that can read should know very well that EA's pricing models and marketing structure are exceedingly corrupt. Capcom & Konami are right behind them, just not the extent that EA is.
+randomstupidrandom You must be HIGH as fuck or your are a 13 year old kid.
+Lrdvltr almost as if EA is a successfully company that sells millions of games a year.
+Zaphael the dislikes are obviously EA employees
And lets not forget:
>No space battles
>No galactic conquest
>No traditional conquest game mode
>No preset classes
>No clone wars or CIS
>No instant reward weapons or perks for surviving in battle like in SWB2
>hardly any multiplayer content
>No single player
>Fuck load of DLC
>No fucks given - EA
+Jebb Katarn
No kidding, I just watched the leaked footage of it and it looked promising. Ground to space sounds awesome! Free Radical was going to create it under supervision of Lucas Arts. Time Splitters meets Battlefront. But then Disney dissolved Lucas Arts. EA then proceeded to FUCK IT ALL UP!
+Jebb Katarn
oops. that makes way more sense, but hey good choice Disney! team up with EA and get an even bigger monopoly!
In other words, nothing
Bro you can tell he’s an actually gamer when he talks about being spawned killed 😂😂
Thanks for the review and saving me $60 bucks for the game + $50 for the season pass!
+Zack Bartlett go buy fallout 4 tons of replay value and keeps you busy for 100+ hours
+sharkman265 actually rent it before you buy but if you like games with ton of gameplay FO4 is for u !!
+Zack Bartlett Wasn't the label "EA" and "Dice" enough to tell you it's going to be a shit game?
+Alluviale Daempfer And EA is the only publisher allowed to release Star Wars games. Thanks, Disney.
+Zack Bartlett If you listened to this man, and already decided that.. good luck sir!
My fucking hero.
Here comes the EA nuthuggers with their dislikes. This game is a total ripoff. People expected space battle and got this....its just better at a technical standpoint, othewise an unbalanced , nade-fest junk only EA soap pickers love.
+chilleverest if you bought this expecting space battles that's on you.
***** im talking about pre development announcement and hype.
+chilleverest Nice selfie... fucking douchebag lol.
+chilleverest Lol soap pickers hahaha !
+EQOAnostalgia Why is he a douchebag? Because he has a different opinion than you?
i love this fucking band even more
"all online games suck". This is good. We are making progress. Making fucking KOTOR 3 for fucks sake. THATS what we want. We want story games when it comes to star wars. Not this MP only bullshit
+Joshcoshbagosh single player is a thing of the past sadly man! omg! like FFS! all kids care about is online and shit... and i can go deeper but nah.... i'll write a book dude...
+M4TT XB Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 came out not long ago... Also what's wrong with multi-player games? If you don't like them don't play them,quite simple.
hubachecka you misunderstand. I dont dislike MP games. I do multiplayer all the time, but when a game is multiplayer only I get frustrated. Im a huge star wars fan and I wasn't even remotely excited for Battlefront. Like not even SLIGHTLY. I want story with my Star Wars games. I want another RPG like KOTOR. I want something we haven't necessarily seen before. Thats one of the things that made KOTOR so great. Showing us the expanded lore. Thats also why I was so excited for 1313. A gritty SW game about Boba Fett fighting his way through the criminal underworld of Coruscant? That sounded BADASS. Again, it was something we hadn't seen before.
+Joshcoshbagosh It's all about money. Multiplayer games sell a lot better.
I agree . I miss everything just being simple single player or two player co op local multiplayer or 4 player local . everything is fucking online these days
lets compare battlefront 2 (2005) to battlefront (2015)
2005:
-campaign
-space battles
-32 vs 32 battles (ive heard that in XL it goes up to 128 to 128, but i play it on ps2 and ive never seen this)
over 20 maps
15 heroes/villans
-mod support
-pay 10 dollars on steam, you get the whole game. no added costs.
online multiplayer through game ranger (i learned this from a youtuber i watch)
2015
pay 60 dollars for half of this game, 120 for the full game (and the full game is only 1/4 of a game)
good graphics.
XL Pc only
The original Battlefront 2 was awesome
Kip Higginson bruh EA battlefront cannot even compare to OG battlefront
I really ... Really like his jacket...
I feel bad for his Xbox, imagine Benjamin Burnley raging at that thing. 😂😂 It’ll be Sugarcoat all over again...
Doing God's work
Just gained even more respect for this guy than I already had lmao
The band discussing video games is something I didn't know I wanted, and wish there was more of.
It is a shit game, not simply for the reasons he states, but for a vast number of other even more obvious reasons.
but we all agree it sucks, awesome
+IKhanMakeWAR2 its wrong for the obvious reasons and the reasons he stated..... thats now how games generally work
IKhanMakeWAR2 Have you ever played ARMA?
IKhanMakeWAR2 most online fps games are shit... there is only a few that are great.
IKhanMakeWAR2 Of course you die in ARMA but it is nothing like the trashing shooters you will only find on consoles.
So everyone is mad at him, claiming he hates the game because apparently he sucks at it. So whilst many of you are defending this shitty game, are you all missing that EA is literally paying people to say good stuff about the game? That's fucking despicable.
+Solarstar10 people are hating on him because he's spoke his own opinion on the game. You don't need to be good or bad to realise the game is mediocre and doesn't come close to what Battlefront 2 was. I just wish people would be more honest about this game. Ben here is at least being honest as a Star Wars fan himself.
+Blaze33405 I fully agree.
Considering the number of Breaking Benjamin Star Wars tributes I've seen on UA-cam it's crazy knowing Ben is a SW fan too lmfao love this band even more now.
He forgot to mention that the game has less content then the launch of SPLATOON and while I'm not a fan of Nintendo and there games, at least they been updating Splatoon with free content.
+Alex Olinkiewicz (olinkalex) splatoon launched with 5 maps and 2 game modes.
***** I stand corrected, though at least it had a single campaign
+Alex Olinkiewicz (olinkalex) No you see the 60 dollars is a down payment. For that you get access to the exclusive club of people who have to buy every expansion when it comes out if they want to keep playing the game.
I too hate it when an Unknown Soldier kills you out of nowhere.
Breaking Benjamin takes me back to my teenage angst phase, glad to see theyre still doing stuff though even if my musical tastes have shifted since. But seriously I think Ben should play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for the NES, he'd probably love that game.
I'm glad Ben stuck to his guns. Now I have another reason to say they're my favorite band.
The game is extremely casual and repetitive. You could maybe get about a dozen hours of fun out of it, but it offers very little once you reach the 10 hour mark or so. There's a lot of things wrong with the game, and for the price that the game is asking, it ain't worth it.
+blobbem Man.. i must be the opposite of you, i already pumped 100 hours into the Game and it still is as fun as it was the first time i played.
DieHardjagged That's okay. You must not find the game's repetitive nature boring. Merely a differing opinion.
+blobbem jep the game is dogshit... 11 Weapons 7 of them suck WOA .... nothing to do, almost no maps, many boring play modes.... Battlefront 3 is one of the biggest fails of the last few Years and im so glad EA is getting the shit for that.
+Michael Koch No.
+blobbem That's a bummer. I used to wake up early to play Battlefront 1 before going to middle school. That game was my Blue Meth
Welcome to Star Wars Battlefront, wait an hour or two to install the game while killing NPCs, wait for half an hour to get a server, get shot by someone who bought a gun quickly with real money and when you dodge him, Vader comes running at you like a white chick to Starbucks
this is the new generation, waste of my money but I can get my money back (never bought it, mooched off of friends and family) but what I can't get back that has been wasted is my time. EA why does this game suck, Sony why the PS4, Microsoft why the Xbox One.
I Believe that Sooner or Later we can just Forget it and and realize EAids fucked up a Simple Design. It's a total shame how this game is a Failure and is literally just a Hollow game with no content or love put into it. Never Again shall we let EA or anyone get Away with this. It's Hopeless that EA will improve on any sequels sadly :/
+Beyond Gaming 117 Hopefully the sequel blows us away.
+Beyond Gaming O DAMN
+Beyond Gaming Dude... That was... SO COLD. LOL
I have a little sister named Jane... and she has a diary too.. Hmmm...
The game ends up an UNKNOWN SOLDIER
a bit of polish and changes could really make this game great
but DICE fucked it
they fucked it hard
+SamuraiPie8111 datelines, all about the datelines.
+SamuraiPie8111 IT WASNT DICE IT WAS THE SPAWN OF SATAN EA
+SamuraiPie8111 Dice isn't to blame. EA's unrealistic deadlines, abuse of their development staff, and corrupt chain of command fucked the game. Just look at the second half of Mass Effect 3. EA games have this obvious unfinished element to them. It's completely absurd and outrageous. They make most of their money on preorders and microtransactions.
"EA Access" LMAO what a joke
+SamuraiPie8111 lol what? dice made it better. ea is the jew in this senario.
MoistTowelette Someone with a brain. I love it.
I love how many fucks he doesn't give. Everyone should be like this.
Ben to EA: "You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve"
This review was more reliable than that of most game *cough* journalists *cough* these days. Just think about that for a sec.
Man he is SOOO right about online games. I think you have to be a gamer of a certain age but, to truly understand how bad they are. Im about the same age as Ben.
What a badass, I've just gained soo much more respect for this band.
Battlefront is such a Failure
The only game that I enjoy actually getting one shot killed is ARMA 3 or Red Orchestra 2 because they have realism aspects to it, but that's justm y opinion.
Same. Because in those games you have to expect it. In the new Rainbow Six as well.
+Villainy yeah, because the kill comes from superior tactics and positioning, not the charging up of a big laser or a floating impact grenade.
He is so awesome 😂😂😂I love it when he's pissed
"Fuck this fucking game, piece of shit" man he rages just like I do lmao.
Ben's a gamer!? Wow I would've never guessed.
He wasn’t in it for the money man, he’s a real one.
i will try to find my place
in the diarrhea chain
I'll admit I liked Battlefront to a degree, mostly the sounds and the graphics and that's actually about it, but the gameplay was rather terrible. You can barely get a kill in that game without having someone spawning behind you and getting killed instantly with some random one shot kill weapon and like what some of you said, there's no space combat, no traditional stuff like in the original Battlefront (Galactic Conquest and such).
Now after seeing that, I wanna hear BB do a cover of the Angry Video Game Nerd theme.
Safe to say that game make Ben's skin crawl.
Looks like EA was trying to be Ben's evil angel.
Ben's not going to want to play that game for the rest of his Natural Life.
Ben's going to have to be medicated after playing that game.
Ben got next to nothing out of that game.
Ben will hate that game until the end.
Ben will not bow to EA
Battlefront is for suckers.$50 for half a game...and then more of what should be in the game costs another $50 to access, for a year. And that's before even mentioning all of the bad aspects of what you get..
The game is for suckers.
Play Battlefront II! A lot more fun!
Amen brother. space battles, clone wars, campaign, etc. battlefront 2 catered for everyone.
+Ryan Olivier Totally agree. I still have my copy for PS2 and it is still great to play!
Tiberias even if ea and dice released all the things I loved as dlc and released a version of the game next year that comes with all dlc loaded, I still wouldn't get it. This game is just too sloppy, and I will not corrupt my xbox with its presence.
+Ryan Olivier Completely agree. They catered this game to online multiplayer. Battlefront back in the day for PS2 and xbox was geared more towards single player. If your internet goes out, you are still left with a great game to kick back and relax with rather than this mess where it's more of online gameplay. I'd either want Free Radical's Battlefront 3 or an HD Remake of Battlefront 2 with the expansion pack that was released for five bucks.
I bought the new battlefront and it's now sitting on my desk collecting dust. I decided to dig out my ps2 and I'm now playing battlefront 2 instead and had more fun in an hour with this game then I did with the new battlefront since day one
After following Ben on his Instagram, I knew as soon as the dude asked him about why this game sucks, my immediate thought was, "oh man, you just started some shit you won't be able to stop." Once Ben gets into a rant over a game, he won't shut up about it. Hahaha!
I'm a bit confused my internet connection has been fine for all online games?
Ironically this video ran a battlefront ad... no words
so glad someone feels the same as I do about online gaming. ... somehow I feel a gaming crash on the horizon
2:25 ...and we get to see BB having a little tanty. Now we just need a song about it, Ben!
I got the Star Wars ad before watching this lmao
hes defenetly right about the hit detection in this game. still kinda enjoying it though. lets see for how long...
Damn ben channelin his inner avgn. Amazing.
Thanks Ben, Loveyou.
He "torn it into"
Battlefield "hold on hold on were barely alive"
agree, game is shit
I'm so disappointed in my past self for hating BB because Ben did not like this game. I was a dumb high school kid.
This guy is right. The game is trash apart from its aesthetic. Repetitive gameplay, laughably small choice of maps and game modes, no single player campaign, overpriced DLC and no expanded or varied character development.
Is no one going to comment on Keith's feather jacket?
My idol
Crawlingggggg in my skinnnn. These wounds they will not healllll
can I have a Ben Burnley Game review channel?
Hahahha he’s so great. 😂
I love him for this
He actually sounds a bit like the Angry Video Game Nerd when he's ranting about games! xD
LOVE TO HEAR WHAT HE THINKS OF FALLOUT!
Who is this guy in first place?
What’s his Xbox name
Love to hear his opinion on battlefront2
One of my favorite games is really bringing out the Dark(side) of You, eh, Burley? But there's a lot I agree with here.
I love the old Star Wars Battlefront games. I love Breaking Benjamin. I agree with this review 100%, EA tarnished a beautiful franchise - everything doesn't feel the same, interfaces suck, gameplay is mediocre, and doesn't give any excitement that the previous games seemed to give. It might be just me being a nostalgic freak, but hey. Not sure why this is getting so much hate.
My new favourite band :D Never heard a song from them, but I agree with this man so so much :)
I hope you managed to listen lol
He sounds.... So Cold... about Star Wars Battlefront
does anyone else still play battlefront 2 and has more fun than this hawk of shit battlefront by EA
+SGT_ Hernandez342 I would play Battlefront 2 but my original Xbox is fucked up
ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL SURVIIIIIVE
You go Ben! :D
This is by far the most accurate review of the game. However, I don't think he should rag on online games not being able to function well. EA is notorious for having terrible server connection (at least in my own experience). I decided to give this game a second chance and then couldn't even get matched in a game. THIS FUCKING GARBAGE.
Not all heroes wear capes
he should write a song about it
Why is it funny to hear him cursing outside of his songs? "Fuck this fucking shit..." xD xD xD
Omg i love him
I don't give a crap about EA nor do I like or dislike Breaking Benjamin, but I think Battlefront is a good game and it was worth my 60 bucks. I've had a lot of fun with it and haven't experienced any of the issues he's talking about. Its not a perfect game but its the closest you'll get to feeling like your a part of that universe. I don't really understand people saying you'll only get 10-12 hours out of it when its a multiplayer game. I play mostly walker assault and since its multiplayer its a different experience every time. there are many other modes to try. I just don't get the hate for this game, it beautiful, it plays well and the sound design is amazing and its STAR WARS!
Lol there needs to be a video with his review on battlefront 2
I love the breaking Benjamin puns
I laughed when I heard about this on wikipedia that Ben was raging about this game that just put a smile on my face when I was reading this:
Besides video games, Burnley is also an avid fan of Star Wars. In 2015, Burnley claimed that he was offered a paid promotional deal for talking positively about Electronic Arts' reboot of Star Wars: Battlefront for Xbox One. Instead, Burnley destroyed the game's disc and openly stated via Instagram:
They wanted to pay me to post that I like this piece of shit game. They can shove it up their ass. This game sucks, I'd rather watch the god awful prequels than play this piece of shit one more second. That's for ruining Star Wars, EA :)
Still funny 😂
I couldn't agree more!!
I love the game but I totally agree. hit detection is still pretty bad, the weapons don't come with detailed explanation. for example one rifle has a special knife that can't be used when you have shield on. A description on that would have saved me a lot of frustration. you get shot out of nowhere, computer takes over AT-AT and kills you point blank. obviously it knows I am hiding behind that rock, it's the computer assisting in a multiplayer game.
so what I can infer from this video is that the game was good? I have been debating about buying a used copy, but now I know that most definitely should buy it.
Amen
hit detection, thanks to FB 3 engine, BF 4 players would know the same feeling too, am I right? :p
Great interview lol
Benjamin burnley turns into Angry video game nerd
He's just bad at fps games 😂
amen
I broke a battlefront disc too.
I agree with what he said, but I'm still finding enjoyment out of the game. But yeah, in a big match of Walker Assault or something the heroes shouldn't have been included. Unless you have a jetpack to escape, you're almost guaranteed an instant death, and that just sucks. I can unload into one multiple times and as soon as he spots me, I'm a gonner. I have mixed feelings about the vehicles too.. on Endor, it would be fun to be a rebel and be able to capture an AT-ST from an imperial driver once in a while, it'd be canon to the movies too. Jetpack up, flip open the hatch and drop a grenade inside. Easy DICE.. but you put 90% of your focus on just the graphics. An engaging story mode against AI with online coop would've been nice, too..
