EA has had a “review event” for games launch. Neither one of these things are too much out of the ordinary. 20m3e
Review events aren’t actually the best things ever, however, for a game that is nearly entirely based on multiplayer, we understand playing it the way it should be played, with fully coming after the event doesn’t make any sense. Why, you may ask? Because of EA Access.
Anybody who signs up for EA Access has the ability to play the entire game of sign up for EA Access.
However, the reviewers who did attend this event are under embargo to share their extra bucks lying around can play it right now.
SWTORStrategies did not attend the event and there are also a few other major sites that didn’t show up as well. The reasons are due to the previous conditions. This will end up making the review coverage messed up for Battlefront, because this is what will happen.
Different sites can review Battlefront whenever they want to, if they have EA Access. You could say that ten hours with the game is not enough time to give an accurate review, and you could be right, but there are many sites that will not see it that way.
You could ask, are they wrong? At a review event, we would be impressed if each attendee received much more than 10 total hours of hours into the game at the event, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it was less than that. However, they will still be writing “official” scored reviews that are based on their experience.
Now there will be a few classes of reviews that will be released. You will see the early ones, either impressions or full-on reviews that run before the game is released. There will also be “official” reviews from the review retail copy of the game.
The answer to this is quite simple. Whoever attended the review event will be able to post their impressions and opinions of the game as soon as EA official review when the game has already been out for four or five days is just plain stupid, and it’s only going to create splintered reviews of the game.
We aren’t sure why all of this is happening with give players the ability to play the whole game in EA Access.
