@matirish the original trilogy and the games from the Lucasarts era and slightly beyond help form the foundation for the definition of sci fi for me. The continued lack of care that goes into these titles is so frustrating for me as an old school star wars lover, as you just can't get star wars games anywhere else. I keep rolling the dice with EA, and the result keep coming up snake-eyes. This was supposed to be the VR experience of a lifetime for someone who has played other flight sims for so long, unable to do so without uttering occasional lines from space battle action sequences featured in the first 3 films, waiting year after year for something that would actually fulfill the fantasy that has seemed so within reach, but never fully real and true. Now I wait, again. Only this time I have to scroll past videos online and news stories all talking about how fun it is, loadouts and tactics ect, and although I broke my solemn vow to never pre order, I payed up for a broken experience before the game was even released, while so many others are doing just fine in pancake land, wondering what the big deal is. I do love star wars, and this release feels more insulting and careless than most. They put more work into a scrapped microtransaction nightmare for that garbage battlefront game than they did into what I consider the panultimate goal of a star wars flight sim in late 2020: making someone feel like they are in the cockpit of a classic star wars spaceship, and providing a fun star wars flavored time, and getting paid to do so. Unfortunately, that is not what star wars squadrons is right now. Cheers.
