After spending a lot of time with the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta, the game is a ton of fun and is shaping up to be one of the best shooters of 2017. DICE really have done an amazing job and they really are pumping the game full of content.
Loot boxes in games are going to be a major thing in the next couple of years. Overwatch is what we have to thank for that, but to be fair, Overwatch handles their loot boxes (or crates) very well. But Star Wars Battlefront 2 is showing the ugly side of loot boxes. Rather than just get items that will change the appearance of your characters. The loot boxes in Star Wars Battlefront 2 are all about enhancing your character. Buffs that make you do more damage or take less damage. New and more powerful weapons and things that will make a real difference on the battlefield. The problem is the way you earn “currency” in the game is pretty messed up and you get no more currency for carrying your team to victory than if you are the weakest player on your team!
Plus it takes what feels like an age to earn enough to get a loot box that contains a Star Card which has an upgrade that it is a grind that feels like a bit of a slap in the face. One popular YouTuber made the point that the upgrade system in Battlefront 2 is like what you would find in a free to play game and it is hard to argue with that.
From a gameplay point of view, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is incredible, but it will be interesting to see if players are going to be happy with the way these loot boxes are handled.
Hey guys as you have probably realized, we have spent a lot of time with the beta of Call Of Duty WWII, most recently the PC version. This is by far one of the games we are most excited for this year and we wanted to share a few thoughts about the game and why you should be very excited for Call Of Duty WWII.
While Infinite Warfare was not to everyone’s taste as it was too futuristic. WWII is something that many people were excited to see Call Of Duty be about again and we wanted to tell you that this excitement is well warranted.
The thing is, we are not sure that it is because the game is set during WW II that makes it so much fun. We think that Sledgehammer Games have created a first person shooter that is just so much fun to actually play. The game modes here are perfect (especially the new War Mode) so there is something for everyone. Not to mention the single player campaign that is looking like it is going to be a ton of fun.
We know that some people get burned out on first person shooters, but if you want a game that is just going to be a fun experience every time you play it. We really do think that you are going to struggle to top Call Of Duty this holiday season.
Here at Mods “R” Us, we are super stoked to try out our epic modded controllers with this game and we would love to know how excited you guys are for Call Of Duty in the comments below.
