Am I alone in being absolutely disappointed in this game!!!

I doubt you're alone but the only thing I'm disappointed with is there isn't more of it. Not that I think the game isn't good value, but it does fall short of being exceptional or a masterpiece. It is still great fun and the content that's there has kept me going for 17hours and I'm still only half way through the campaign (which I still maintain is the best bit of the game). When all is said and done I will have gotten more than enough joy from this game, fully immersed in VR, to justify the price tag.

The conversations can feel a little stilted at times, almost like there was meant to be pauses for the player to select a conversation item but that part was cut leaving it as a pure info dump monologue that was recorded and delivered in chunks. It's a shame but personally I appreciate the backstory and it's entirely skippable if you're not interested.

You thinking you could choose a faction when it was clearly stated the campaign switched back and forth really isn't the games fault. It would have been nice to have the option to play from one side or the other, or switch back and forth but that's not what the game set out to be.

X4 is an completely different sort of game, No Mans Sky is a completely different sort of game (with terrible space combat), Rebel Galaxy is a completely different game that flies your ship in combat for you if you want, Starlink battle for atlas?! We're getting further and further away here. Clearly if this is what you're looking for than Squadrons is not the game for you.

Sorry you bought a game with expectations that weren't met but I have to say in this instance that seems to be very much on you not the game or it's advertising. It was pretty clear what this game was and how much content it had. I wish there was more because it's great.

@ant0067iThe game is pretty much a quick cash-grab that would really only appeal to hardcore pilots, especially those that grew up playing the older games 20 years ago or so.

Yup, as advertised, and I sincerely thank EA and Motive for that. 🙂

@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R "The game is pretty much a quick cash-grab that would really only appeal to hardcore pilots" ... What's wrong with this sentence?

Seriously you can't judge this game by Youtube content it's about seat of the pants flying. But I suspect you had decided you weren't going to like it long before you actually watched any videos of it.

Im very disappointed

I cant get consistent playable multiplayer matches for anything because im in Australia.

The community has worked out that EA must be using a Peer to peer matchmaking and connection model.  And it isnt region specific.

SO here we are, connecting from Australia,  to predominantly USA based hosts and having to fly off of the ping we are getting to that host.  Its terrible.

Can blast away and away at a target for seconds, emptying full laser recharges....and do zero damage.  Rubber banding... ghosting...  It legit may as well be unplayable.

To top it off they didnt even feel the need to put a latency monitor in the game. 


And to this point theres been ZERO acknowledgement from EA theres any issues.   Im done with these clowns.  Untilt hey acknowledge they screwed up the matchmaking and take steps to remedy it, ill never buy another EA title again - certainly not a multiplayer or Star Wars one.

@ant0067ithe game is not 10/10, but it is exactly what I expected it to be. Its multiplayer aspect is good and requires skill as well as teamwork

can sink a lot of hours into its multiplayer. the singleplayer was always going to be a glorified tutorial. 8/10 game, but yes some bugs need to get sorted

---

Its multiplayer aspect is garbage if you live outside the USA or, possibly, Europe.  Im not really sure what the Europeans think of this title.

Players in Oceania are already ditching it in droves because we cant compete int he multiplayer.

1. Developers who provide a list of known bugs at launch (as opposed to never).

I could go on.

Please... go on and get EA to acknowledge that players outside the USA are screwed on multiplayer because its a Peer to Peer connection model.

YOu say the devs provide known bugs and good updates.  Except they havnt acknowledged AT ALL that players outside the USA are struggling to dealw ith latency in multiplayer matches.

Im glad youre having fun, because Im feeling totally ripped off.
