"Just?" That seems like a lot, considering.
- Estimates have put the game's budget at upwards of $250 million, so they'd need to sell at least 5 times as many copies to even break even. Games (from traditional studios, anyway) are crazy expensive now.
  
  That's insane for how many bugs it has. What are they spending this money on? It's clearly not development time

It's such a boring game. I'm stupid for hoping it would be fun
- No you're not. You're allowed to hope for something and be let down it's on them to do better especially since they can and have the resources to do so but choose not to.
It's not on steam, also if you're going to ask me to pay 90 dollars for a mediocre game you can kindly fuck off.
I’ve been waiting for the price to come down a bit, and because I’ve learned my lesson to always wait a while before buying any Star Wars game.
But I’ll definitely buy it eventually, just like I eventually buy every Star Wars game. Wonder if more people are learning the same lessons as me?

  Thanks, I wasn’t subbed to that instance’s version of the community.

That's quite a lot honestly
I just got it on sale ($15 off on Uplay) and I gotta say I'm rather confused why it isn't more popular. It's not perfect, and combat is a little simple, but it's exceptionally well written, the mini games are legit fun, and the world feels really fleshed out and authentic and the music is outstanding. The main theme sounds like a modern take on Williams it's crazy good.
Tbh I haven't even noticed the "AI" generated stuff it's no different than procedurally generated content if not even more well weaved in the game. I dunno it's just fun for me. Just change the settings to all hard and disable the assists and suggestions.
- You got it on sale so of course you'll be less critical about how unfinished it is.
