Look, I'm only a 19 year old gamer who is just about to finish High School and head to College afterwords. Being a cynical prick to every game announcement, is not something I want to be as I age with this industry. Star Wars: Battlefront is one such game I can't get excited about because of it. Sure the fact that DICE (Battlefield) is developing gives it a lot of potential to be great; DICE and EA's track record over these last couple of years deflates any type of hype I had for the title. I just can't shake the fact that Battlefront is just going to be both a BF4 re-skin and a DLC cash cow. I don't want to believe any of it, but I just can't; and when you count the fact that it will have NO Space Battles, No Clone Wars Era, and only 4 planets on launch, makes the entire thing sound more like DICE trying to make a movie tie-in instead of a normal Battlefront game. We haven't seen any gameplay yet and there is already a Digital Deluxe pre-order available? Seriously EA, fuck off with that shit... This also affects my anticipation for both Rainbow 6: Siege and The Division. The concepts for both these games are fantastic and have a huge amount of potential. However, just like with DICE and EA, Ubisoft's track record completely destroys my hype for it. Everything from Assassin's Creed Unity's broken launch to the Watch Dogs fiasco just lead to Ubisoft dropping the ball again with both titles. I seriously don't want to feel like this with any of these games. I should be hyped up about every announcement for each of these games, but with this routine the gaming industry has been following, I just can't get excited anymore.
