EA: Battlefront II Was Pay-To-Win Because Nobody Wants A Pink Darth Vader



Electronic Arts keeps digging a hole with the world’s grimiest shovel, this time blaming “canon” and “realism” on Battlefront II’s horrible loot box system.

Because yes, the only alternative to RNG-based player advantages was a pink Darth Vader.

  1. Force awakens already messed up the whole Star Wars Canon, so i would love to see pink Vader petting Ewoks. This would be less shitty than whole the whole Episode 7 Movie, or any other Disney Star Wars Movie.

  2. Background Character

    Darth Vader: LUKE i am your Darth Lootbox
    Luke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *Wallet falls out of pocket into the famous abyss*

  3. EA is that guy who keeps talking, and talking, and making up shit and you’re just standing there trying not to actually die

    There is a white darth vader! Its from the comic darth vader and the ninth assassin. Why didnt they try having fun legends skins like emperor vader or vader if he didnt get burned (technically more fac fic but still cool concepts).

  5. Does….Does EA not realize Disney or whoever they put in charge of keeping the ‘canon’ in control could just…y’know…only declare the storyline ‘canon’ and the rest of the game non-canon? It’s seriously not that hard.

  6. I don’t care about the canon in my Star Wars game. I mean, can you imagine how amazing it would be to have:

    1. Skins based on the concept art for Star Wars

    2. Squadron insignia or special paint on star fighters

    3. All of the amazing different armor and cosmetic designs for the clones and battle droids that we got from the clone wars tv show

    I would blow a shit ton of money on just those skins, but could you imagine if EA took out the progression system and invented new cosmetics other than what I had on this list? It would be fucking amazing. I’d be playing battlefront 2 for years.

  7. Damn they straight up blamed the fucking Disney property. Disney might fuck their buttholes prison style and send their mothers the DVD for this.

  8. It’s impressive that instead of calming everybody down they manage to say some condescending shit that makes everyone angrier

  9. because its so canon to have Clone Troopers, Rey, and Darth Maul fighting on Naboo

  10. “It’s not pay-to-win!”

    Later…

    “It NEEDED to be pay-to-win!”

  11. Want to talk about canon being broken? Boba Fett killing Darth Vader because he had better star cards.

    Fuck. Just about ANYBODY killing Darth Vader.

  12. “Star Wars fans want realism.”

    Yes, because nothing screams realism like our love of magic wielding lasersword knights.

  13. _”Star Wars fans want realism…”_ – *Blake Jorgensen*

    I might be wrong, but I don’t think Jorgensen has ever seen any of the Star Wars films before.

  14. EA: *No one wants a Pink Vader*

    Bitch of course I want One!

  15. To all you people who didn’t buy this game, I hope you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment!

  16. Remember when “just cosmetics” were included in the base game in the entry fee? Good times… Oh and Fuck EA.

  17. DID EA JUST ASSUME WHAT COLOR I WANT MY FAVORITE STAR WARS CHARACTERS.

    those greedy racist bastards, I’m glad they lost 3 billion

  18. EA: The Randy Pitchford of video game companies.

    Fuck um.
