I purchased SWBF3 for Xbox One last night. I got home popped the disk in and wham nothing. I tried to join a squadron game...nothing couldn't find any player. Tried the Walker Assault, same thing. Just kept looking for empty games after counting down. Then I tried the other multiplayer modes, which I had no interest in playing. I had hope. No longer. Fuck EA. You lost my business for life. First you screw over NFS series, then this crap. Maybe the PC version wouldn't have been so buggy.
So I load it up about 10 minutes ago. I finally get into game. First thing I notice is that they dumbed the graphics down. I played the trial. The Tie Fighters looked sharp and didn't show and tearing at the edges. Same with the maps. Everything looked great. Not after launch. I don't know if anyone else has noticed. Then there is the balancing. It was almost like people were cheating. I would launch my fighter, I would get almost to where everyone is and I would get one shotted. No locking warning even. So Fuck this game. It's going back to the damn store.
Side note. Was going to write a review on Metacritic but I can't until an email confirmation. One that hasn't come yet and I have been waiting 10 minutes. I went to metacritic as soon as I noticed the issues. I hope i get one, but if I don't I have a feeling they don't let people create accounts after major releases?
If you ask why I didn't get it on PC or PS-4 it is because I wanted to play this with my gf. She wanted to be walker and kill shit. She hates the PS-4 controller.
EDIT: Man I really love people who downvoat something and don't take the time to leave a comment.

The one shot thing has been an issue with BF games forever. They keep blaming internet connections and they keep saying they fixed it but they never have. It comes and goes if you keep playing...it can be really aggravating. I noticed it a lot in the beta for some reason.
Next time don't buy anything EA or DICE on launch day..give it 6 months...it should become playable and cost half the money :)

Good advice that I already took. I won't be doing this again. I returned it already.
