Let me preface this by saying that the upcoming Battlefront II looks pretty cool. That being said, its existence is indicative of one of the many problems plaguing modern Star Wars games.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

EA happened. I knew as soon as they took over we wouldn't get the same Star Wars experiences we got in the past. All we have so far is a reboot from an old series that was, in my opinion, much more enjoyable in the old days than it is now. The only Star Wars games we will get will be cash ins.
SegaGamer I totally agree :(
Yep, EA. We used to get many companies making many different games. Now we have EA, and they like to put out a game a year, quality or improvements be damned. Microtransactions here we come.
Actually, the SWBF2 looks to be pretty good. I was interested in hearing about the other new story driven SW game, but, I can wait. It looks like they improved on SWBF quite a bit to be honest.
