Ever since Destiny shipped with only a barebones amount of content and took two years to be 'complete' my trust in Blockbuster titles like Battlefront has been finite. I haven't played the Beta, but I've watched all of 30 seconds of gameplay here and there and the game looks terrific. Unfortunately, it seems obvious the game will ship incomplete and likely spend up to three years having DLC offered to fill it out. Suddenly the 60$ blockbuster will be a 300$ moneysink.
Down the road, the game will feel mostly inaccessible thanks to the skill curve and necessity to participate in the DLC's to stay up to date. It will go from leisure to obligation with all of that investment. That's how it always goes for me.
I love Battlefront though, it's the only quality thing to come out of star wars in the last 20 years.
