I'm glad EA will ultimately lose money on this endeavor. The people running this game are boxing gravity.

>non-f2p multiplayer focused game with some repetitive PVE and shitty nuwars setting

it was dead from the start.

Should have been Rogue Squadron 4

It shouldn't have been anything. EA can't write stories for shit... you really want them to give Mitch Dyer Rogue Squadron to shit all over and wipe himself with?

Isn't Rouge Squadron a collection of spies instead of being an elite raiding squadron after Endor?

I honestly don't know what's canon anymore after they threw out the EU. I imagine Mitch wouldn't have any trouble fucking it up anyways.

Wraith Squadron were the commando pilots. Rogue Squadron was always elite pilots who happened to have secondary skills. Wedge Antilles led both. I hate that Wedge is in the campaign mode for this playing second fiddle to Woke Squadron.

there's no canon anymore. you have disney constantly fixing shit (how got orange yoda luke's lightsaber?) and retconning even their own shit for no reason because they can't keep their soitards in check - see https://kiwifarms.net/threads/star-...rise-of-skywalker-spoilers.32492/post-7507557

sometimes ignorance is bliss...

You can just do what I do and refuse to acknowledge Disney canon.

How dare you, that means you're not a real fan. I bet you don't even play The Old Republic like us true hardcore fans are!

No, that was Wraith Squadron.

Wraith Squadron also had the very dubious honor of having the best comedy duo this side of the janitor's closet. "At least morale was high" will forever rank near the top of my list of "Favorite Military Coping Statements". Yub yub.

An excellent example of why indie games are the way forward. This game was shitty and rushed, so imagine what it could have been with a smaller studio. Stylized graphics as opposed to "realistic", more content produced in shorter time, more genuine and less "EA", and ultimately cheaper and less of an investment than a huge half-decade project.

I mean fuck sake, Clone Wars is the best Star Wars content period and it's basically a CGI cartoon for kids. This could have been a more "child-like" spaceship simulator and more or less have tried out the same concept at 1/4 the resources.

Friend bought it for me to play in VR. Can’t even get to the first mission in VR. Out of VR I had it hard-lock midway through the first mission. Needless to say, I’m pretty frustrated. Considering just refunding it and telling him to buy himself a copy of Satisfactory so we can MP.

Plots wise, it's just going through the motions with some missed potential here and there. But child-sizing it takes out the what little tension that this game had.

Let's face it, SW space combat peaked somewhere between 2001-2006. Between Rogue Squadrons 2 and 3 as well as classic BF 2, and you can throw in Empire at War for good measure because it also had space combat.

Everything went downhill after that in terms of SW space combat games.

EaW was an RTS though, wouldn't lump it in with the other space combat games that you're listing.

It still has space combat, although it wasn't a space sim. Space sims for Star Wars went downhill after 2005.

For a game that prides itself on having a leaderboard, said feature isn't processing the achievements of an lot of players.

Mediocre space combat. Snag the Phoenix Rising mod if you want a full, proper experience. Just be careful about logging into the Discord server. Its shared and the owner might as well be the NPC meme, complete with blank-looking profile pic.
