But should you still bother with Star Wars Battlefront 2 what with it being 50 percent off right now thanks to Star Wars day sales on the PS Store, Xbox Live, and EAвЂ™s own Origin platform on PC? We tell you. All of this, on paper at least, should result in an even playing field. Crystals - the gameвЂ™s premium currency, which was removed earlier - returned on April 13 and it was reworked so that it could be used to buy character skins, and little else. Now all of its heroes and villains are playable from the get go.

Six months and a host of updates later, Star Wars Battlefront 2вЂ™s multiplayer is a different beast. All of this resulted in tremendous backlash that forced governments to pay attention to the games industry, and inevitably regulate its in-game purchases. So egregious was Star Wars Battlefront 2вЂ™s monetisation that it pretty much made any attempt at progressing in the game redundant, as anyone could just spend to get better abilities, gear, and attributes that give them the edge in the gameвЂ™s multiplayer mode. They were so poorly implemented that if you wanted to play as some of Stars WarsвЂ™ more iconic characters such as Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker, youвЂ™d have to spend at least 40 hours playing the game, or buy enough loot crates that contain the necessary credits - one of the gameвЂ™s many currencies at the time - to purchase the heroes and villains you want to play as. Released on November 17, the game was mired with controversy because its micro-transactions consisted of random loot boxes and pay-to-win upgrades. On May 4 - Star Wars Day - we look back at Star Wars Battlefront 2 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
