Should be free to play. Progression is based on loot boxes which are coming back as paid. Game isn't worth 10.00

Why do people keep posting "deals" for this game. It's asking for downvotes

Because it is a "deal" whether you like the game or not. The game is a month old and just by that alone it should still be $60. Especially with the movie just coming out. I'm in for 1 digital copy. I can share it with my friend and we'll split the cost. Gonna be less than $20 each

Let me know what it is after micro-transactions.

The only reason that it's a "deal" is because no one is buying it and they are trying to save face.

I won't pay for that shit. I also don't care about playing multiplayer against each other. I liked playing with friends against the ai on the first one. Plus everyone bitches about microtransactions as if not every game has that now. Sure some people will pay but the fact that 12 year olds with all the time in the world have always been able to rule in multiplayer games as ruined them for me for years now. I don't have nor want time to play any 1 game that much so multiplayer hasn't been fun for me since the N64 when all my friends would be in a level saying field. As someone who likes a variety of types of games, I won't be bothered by people paying for microtransactions. I won't be spending hours a day trying to build my level in any multiplayer game and I'm a huge star wars fan so yeah, paying less than $20 to play in a fantasy world I like casually will be worth it.

Plus if that fails as a concept for this game they'll just change it because games aren't set in stone once they're released anymore. They can keep it or take it away all they want. Just don't be a sucker to microtransactions. I mean I play a few mobile games that have those but I've always refused to pay because I guess I'm willing to put work in over time to get what I want and I don't need to be the best ASAP. If people are so impatient that they need to pay money to get to the highest level ASAP then let them waste their money. It's the culture we live in now. If you want to spend your hard earned money on in game upgrades then do it. I, for one, will never surcome to that and will take this game for what it is; a fun way to play in one of my favorite movie franchises.

Wrong. One of the choices when choosing thumbs down is "not a good product"

Have you played it? Have mo1at people who say this is a bad product played it or are they saying that off of hearsay? Just cause you don't like something you've only heard doesn't mean it's a bad product. That's the only thing I've even heard about this game on slickdeals. How is the game play? How does it compare to the first? Does anyone have anything else to say besides they don't like the microtransactions they've "heard" are going to be implemented soon?

It's not my job as a potential customer to try something just to decide if it is a good deal. EA screwed the pooch on this one and there is no fixing it. If you think it is a deal now in the mid 30's, then buy it. I'll pick it up in the single digits - which is where it will be soon.

There's a reason all of these get swamped with down votes. The value isn't there.

Sad thing is, this game is selling because regular consumers are not aware.

Thanks OP.

I was about to buy 2 of these from Walmart, saved me 2 bucks plus gas/time. Also, now I don't have to deal with the disc and I can just give the code as a gift come Christmas time. You rock. Don't let the haters convince you of otherwise. Peace
