Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

It's been a unanimous opinion for years now that remastering - or at the very least re-releasing with some improvements - the classic Battlefront games would be an easy money maker. The originals hold a place in the hearts of millions, and in a proper re-release would hold the hearts of millions more. Somehow, with the 20 years of developer knowledge built on since those games released, Aspyr managed to make them worse.

The first alarm came in the size. The original games were collectively 12 GB, the classic collection pushes 70 GB for no good reason. There were some minor graphical changes (which remains the only positive of the game), but that shouldn't take up more than a few GBs.

Another fumble came in the single-player: half of the cutscenes do not play.

But shouldn't I give credit to some of the new additions we can play with? No, no I shouldn't: because you can't. Aspyr only had 3 servers dedicated to one of the most popular shooter franchises of all-time, meaning the vast majority of players who purchased the game could actually play online. But they were lucky. The biggest issues come when you're in a game, it's far more buggy than the original releases.

I can talk about all of the additions they could have done, but there is no reason to because they abysmally failed to meet the minimum expectations. The only logical explanation was for Mark Sanchez to have paid Aspyr to fail so miserably because this has replaced his infamous butt fumble as being the greatest fumble of all-time. It's unbelievable, unthinkable, disrespectful, insulting, and disgusting.

This game is like poop. I rather play Fortnite, one of the worst games of all time, the game is a unbalanced pile of crap, that even if you were blind and deaf you would even know it's bad, somehow ea did it better with battlefront 2 2017, so anyone going to buy this game DONT, you will lose your money, you should actually spend your money on good games like spiderman 2018 or smash bros, or even breath of the wild, so the 2nd time don't spend your money. And I swear to god If ign make a review saying " this game makes you feel like yoda" I going to go insane. So this game doesn't make you feel like yoda or Luke skywalker, it makes you feel like a idiot.

Let me just start by saying, both the original games are a masterpiece. This is criticism on the way the remaster has been done. I started playing the game right at launch, instantly met with tons of bugs, lag issues, FPS issues, etc. That is to be expected for a game as large as this with many people flocking to it at once to play. Less than 12 hours later, they release a 17GB update that makes it even worse. At the time of typing this, Battlefront II is unable. The only message give is "This appears to be damaged, can't load" what is damaged?? My other complaint is how difficult it is to play with your friends. They're relying on 20 year old lobby technology instead of a modern day party system to team up with friends that could easily be added. As of now, I regret buying this when I have both games on PC and they play so much smoother and reliable.
