Star Wars Games May Have Made Too Much Money in 2015

I'm confused. How can a game make too much money?

I traded it in long before the holiday period, got old very quickly as expected and i've not seen the film we even got a £50 gift card to spend at Cineworld at Christmas and still not bothered to go and watch it

@RawShark I think they feel bad as they held back so much content for the dlc. lol, or not.

Ahah that end argue xD FLIPPING THE BIRD OBVIOUSLY!!! Omg sorry, I get a little emotional with this...
Anyway...Battlefront is a really good game with an unfortunate amount of content and overpriced DLC, besides that I love it! The atmosphere is perfect, the sound is perfect, gorgeous for a MP game and it's fun! So that's good for me!

Did not buy anything star wars related apart from ticket to see the movie. No will not be watching it again until its oue on bluray. Enjoyed the movie but there was nothing original in it they just took the best bits from 4/5/6. I would buy star wars battlefront but only if I got if for £20 as I do not think there is much to play long term in the game. Star Wars backed by Disney is going to be everywhere for probably the next 10 years so be prepared for so many more games and movies.

Overpriced pew pew, still very gorgeous environments and character detail other than that ,pew pew ssssss pew pew!

But we need £40 season passes, dlc and micro transactions to develop our games

This amount of revenue is crazy - my company which employs 60 people not including all the other people we support through external contracts generates £30 million a year. We are all highly skilled at the top of our game and most have been to uni. Its like having 60 of our company. Madness. They are a small team who built an unfinished game using an old engine.

I'm afraid I'm guilty, parents in law bought me battlefront for Xmas and I went out and bought the Disney infinity for my kids. Disney robbed our family blind this year.

@AFCC exactly, the game should have been released at $40 being you really need that $50 dlc.

@BoltedArc lol

@dryrain 3/4/5? Did you mean 4/5/6? I suppose there was some 3 in there, but you can't leave out 6, all that was missing was the Ewoks.

Saw the movie last night and thought it was really good, probably as good as they could make all the past history considered. And I'm an old curmudgeon who hates everything, so I was impressed by how good it was. Whether it was worth $60 for a family of 4 is another story entirly.

Won't play Battlefront, and don't see any point in getting TFA content for DI until after all 3 movies are out, but we did get a bunch of older SW stuff for DI with more to come.

One thing I have been thinking that this title relates too - too much money - is how episode 8 is schedule for May 2017 rather than December. This December has spinoff Rogue Leader. I wonder if all the money will make them decide to delay 8 until Dec 2017? Hobbit 3 was originally scheduled for July - I had planned to see it for my birthday - before getting delayed. May does give them DVD sales at Christmas, but I still won't be live next May until after this summer. Would be nice not to wait though. Just hope it doesn't scare off Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 due May 5 2017. Though maybe 3 weeks is enough for them to turn a profit?

Long live Star Wars, whether we want it to or not. I just hope I die before they reboot 4, 5 and 6 where Luke is Transgendered and Han and Chewie are lovers. It will happen eventually, see Ghostbusters.

For clarification, I think BB-8 was flipping the bird. His lighter just articulates that way, I can't explain it.

Battlefront!
And thumbs. BB8 is too innocent to flip him off. He would've not agreed to give the location if he didn't want to. Plus he helps Finn out right after locating the thing Rey wants. Helpful. Loyal.
Thumbs.

BB-8 was totally flipping the bird. My entire (full) theater read it that way and we can't all be wrong. That was super funny btw. I have only seen it once but I plan to see it at least one more time.

The only Star Wars game I have bought this year is Battlefront and while it's fine it doesn't live up to how much entertainment I got out of Star Wars games in the good old days. My N64 came bundled with Episode I Racer, anybody remember that one?

I bought Battlefront. I bought the deluxe edition. I bought the season pass. I bought the strategy guide. I bought the action figure.
It's not a good game, but the selection on PS4 has been far worse so far, not to mention much less iconic. Intentional bubble economy at its finest

I think it's pretty obvious by Fin's reaction that it was a thumbs up. There's no way Disney would make it a middle finger. I honestly don't even understand how anyone thinks it was that. BB-8 went along with it too, which proves beyond a doubt it was a thumbs up.

Thumbs up, obviously!
I'm really hyped on Star Wars right now!! Amazing actors, tons of action, I love every single character and moment! I've seen it twice and I'm going to go see it again next week.
Also, can we talk about how important Captain Phasma and Fin are to Star Wars? Even though stormtroopers are the bad guys, I can't even begin to explain how awesome it was that women and people of color are now stormtroopers. Because, come on, lets face it, everyone at one time or another has wanted to wear stormtrooper armor.

also, this Christmas was great because I got a ps4. I'm definitely planning on picking up Battlefront whenever I get the chance to (I got the uncharted trilogy bundle instead... ( T-T)).

I bought Battlefront, for all the hate it gets it is still really fun gameplay wise and it looks great. And when people moan about lack of maps/ game modes there is a fair few if you like smaller scaled game modes too. Got to say my favourite game mode is heroes vs villains, it's great! (We need more heroes and villains though) I also surprisingly got Star Wars the Force unleashed 2 on my 360 ( had a free voucher for Microsoft, why not?) It's possibly my second favourite Star Wars game after Battlefront 2 gameplay/ story wise. It's so fun! But only 6 hours long which would be terrible for someone that bought it years ago full price so I can see why it got poor ratings but it really is great if you love Star Wars. EDIT: I also went to see the film and bought some Star Wars shirts so Star Wars has definitely made some decent money out off me this year...

Game got only good reviews (7s and 8s), but it's the IP. To the casual fun, its mindless fun. And EA know this. ANd that's why they never care what the unsilent minority of core gamers yell about. The casuals' wallets are way bigger.

I pray that one day we'll get a deep, tactical, single player Star Wars RPG game.

@ApostateMage I doubt that will ever happen under EA unfortunately...

Im having fun with Battlefront. I've seen the film four times. BB-8's totally thumbs upping

I'll wait for Battlefront until its hits bargain bin price. I've played the demo and a bit of the full game. I'd like to play more, but offline only and I'm not paying €50 for that alone.

@Octane
It's almost there. It's about 40 dollars where I live.
