I think it's probably a very safe bet that this game will be easy even on hard because it's Star Wars and literal 5 year olds will want to play it all the way through

I just watched a guy die ten times in a row to a rancor mini-boss and give up so I'm gonna say you're wrong.

That's their stated reason for not doing early release on EA Access - they don't want the game spoiled before general release. I'm not sure I buy it, but it does make sense with Disney.

They dont want how bad it will turn out spoiled. Gotta milk those pre orders.

I really want it to be good but a "AAA" """GAME""" in 2019 by ea and Disney? Lol. Just lol if this is anything but a nostalgia fueled cash grab near the end of eA's star wars license.

I pray I'm wrong but I doubt that I am.

It's a Respawn game, there's no bullshit games as service going on, and the pre-release buzz is positive.

It's definitely going to be a good game that's fun to play and expertly wrought, but not groundbreaking or anything.

Game is smooth so far on XboneX. I've only just started but....uhhhhhhh so far it's pretty good. Looks great and plays well. Great presentation.

I think they managed to make a good Star Wars game??????

From my perspective in America it doesn�t unlock until tomorrow for you, but from your perspective in NZ it doesn�t unlock until yesterday.

Game is up now if you region switch on Xbox - should be roughly the same if you VPN on PC, I think, give or take an hour.

Actual serious question. But how do you sign up for EA premium to get this for $15? I poked around all over the EA access hub and store on the xbone and couldn�t find an option for ea premium or anything.

All I really want is the mass effect trilogy and all dlc to be bundled together in a single cheap package, particularly as that's what started this dumb EA split in the first place.

Got through the entire prologue/tutorial before I had to stop. It basically plays like a mashup of Uncharted, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Sekiro. Uncharted in presentation and platforming with AC controls for traversal (e.g. holding LT to climb objects), and then combat is pretty Sekiro so far (really rewards parry timing, block meter that eventually breaks, etc.). They haven't introduced the Dark Souls elements with bonfires and souls and stuff, but I've heard they're in there.

Framerate is a solid 30 on XboneX in the resolution mode.

Pretty convinced that this is the game that Jeff and Brad were talking around playing all weekend on the Bombcast (in a good way).

Hmm for whatever reason it's not letting me launch this while "visiting" New Zealand - I'm using Tunnel Bear and Steam, anyone else got it to work for them?

Actually kind of a good thing, now I'll make it to work on time, but I did want to jump in and fiddle with graphics settings to see how it looks on my busted old 970

EA keeps the license - but only if Respawn has control over development.

Disney - "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further."

Shirkelton: Apr 6, 2009; I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.

I went to the PS Dashboard during the first few seconds of the opneing cinematic and it soft-locked and just kept replaying the first few frames of night-time sky over and over again, while only letting me pause, so don't do that.
