If you pre-order Star Wars Squadrons....

[Montoya]

Somebody from EA is in TEST and did this to screw with us.

Star Wars Squadrons is going to be HOTAS friendly, VR ready and... wait for it... if you pre-order...

BLACK AND YELLOW!!!

After Anthem, will never pre-order another EA published game again.
But see they did that pre-order bonus to try to trick us!

Now that you are a prominent YouTube influencer. They seek your approval.

I am very important!

Apparently EA has the sense to honor your magnificence, Glorious Leader Montoya. EA is, however, making it hard for me to stick to my boycott of their bad games and worse business practices.

Nice.....WAIT! That ain't Star Citizen.

SW BF 2 was trash at launch, Anthem was trash, the list goes on and on of broken promises and lies from EA.

Anyone else find it odd there was no crosshair reticle of any kind on the gameplay they showed? Seemed like you were just eyeballing all of the shots and came across to me as very arcade-like.

I see a pair of tubes leading to the Imperial Ace helmet. If that is a TESTie, then 1 of those tubes is for air while the other is for beer. Notice how both tubes are the same diameter. They clearly know how to TESTify with that design.

Long before that even.


EA is where good studios and IPs go to die.

If I had the funds to burn with plenty to spare, I'd purchase ALL of the former IP of Chris Roberts back from EA so that 1 of the future enemies of the UEE in a future version of SQ42 could be the Kilrathy as the Wing Commander franchise would be home where it belongs. Unfortunately, I'm currently living paycheck to paycheck for the foreseeable future.

Errgggh. Don't remind me. I'm still pissed at what happened to the Crown Jewel of Canadian game developers under their watch, Bioware.

 

[AntiSqueaker]

I'm suspicious of that game for another reason.

It's 40 dollars. To me, that reads that the campaign is going to be short and the maps will be few for multiplayer. Max of 5v5 is kinda small too.

I've never known EA to not charge as much money as possible, so if they think this is worth 40 dollars.....

Fucking Dead Space. Dear Lord the list is huge. Command and Conq, Pandemic studios, Dream Works, Need for Speed.

Found this:

Squadrons won't have a leading reticle either, which grounds it in something closer to a WWII dogfighter. Frazier explains: "We wanted you to look at the ships and stay in the environment, and we felt like the moment we added a leading radical it started to become more of the UI game and less the Star Wars pilot game" However, the color of the aiming reticle will change to signal when a properly aimed shot will hit.

So there will be a reticle I guess?

For years people got onto me for speaking out against EA after what they did to WestWood Studio and their games 'Earth and Beyond' and 'Command and Conquer', it is nice to see that the majority of the gaming community finally sees EA for their trash treatment of IPs and customers.

will the keys to power up the fighters be in loot boxes?

First off, Squadrons looks like crap. Secondly, based on the game play video, the crosshair is actually the targeting computer, which looks like it gives a slight aim assist once you lock onto a target.
