Gamestop: Halo 5, Star Wars, Assassin’s Creed Underperform Compared to Destiny
Instead of unlocking the “Star Wars” universe and unleashing players into an engaging experience, “Battlefront” just feels like a generic shooting game.
Furthermore, GameStop Corp. (NASDAQ:GME) also said that the demand for new games, such as “Halo 5”, “Star Wars Battlefront” and “Assassin’s Creed” came in lower-than-expected.
For comparison, here’s the scene it’s directly referencing.
For those who might have missed the last two games, the Battlefront series has always prided itself on featuring large-scale battles-something that’s crucial to the world of Star Wars. Why would EA ask a musician to promote a Star Wars video game?
Until then, take a look at the images and see what you think. In these clips, it can be clearly seen that they are taking massive amounts of hits from their enemies but they are still able to continue to fight and even rack up their kill score.

The “Star Wars Battlefront” suicide glitch is an anomaly in the system that gives players an immunity to gunfire. Players fight to capture or defend radar stations which are needed to call in Y-Wings which take down 2 AT-AT walkers stomping their way through the battlefield. Sony has been marketing the game as if it’s a first-party title: every piece of media, from trailers to screenshots to TV commercials, has featured Sony’s branding in one shape or another.
You can also earn powerups by playing a lot of multiplayer matches, but it’s a slow, tedious process.
Television personality Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jionni Lavalle and their family dress up as “Star Wars” characters for Halloween on October 31, 2015 at a private residence in New Jersey. It feels a little shallow compared with a number of other shooters.
Also, some players may feel there’s a lack of unique content. The different game modes are all fun (Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron are the standouts), but one can only play on the same four planets over and over again before wanting some environmental variety. These modes showcase just how enjoyable the game can be. While they by no means ruin the game, they’re still hindrances to an otherwise great play experience.
