Yup. Had those issues.

Or re-spawning me three time right in the middle of the rebels.....not fun. Not fun at all.

Still, it's a co-op game I can play with my friends, so not a dead loss. Just feels distinctly unfinished.

Last night I downloaded and drunkenly played Town of salem It's some sort of guess the murderer game where you have to convince the other players to co-operate and hang people. For some reason the SO spent two hours convincing everyone it was me in every game

Yep, at least with Blast there are no objectives to worry about so its just running about shooting each other and Fighter Squadron is really fun once you figure out the need to decelerate to target and how to evade missile locks.

I haven't tried Supremacy and the droid escort one because I'm kind of leery of objective based games now, but might give them a shot. also Boba Fett seems incredibly overpowered.

I've been playing co-op with my 7 year old cousin who is so much better at it than me.

I have got a second controller on the way, so will be able to do classic split screen nonsense with my friends, but I'm really quite pissed off at how crap the fighter bit is, to the point I may not bother with those missions at all. It just doesn't feel like your flying.

See the Falcon in the trailer evading the TIEs? See Hera flying the B-Wing prototype in Rebels? That's what I want to be able to at least attempt (to normally be swiftly followed by a terminal cliff/craft interface) when I'm in a X-Wing.

Poo! POO AND POOPYBUMS.

We need a proper X-Wing/TIE Fighter game again... though it would be better with a joystick, IMO (which isn't going to happen, because kids these days don't seem to know what a joystick is). An X-Wing shouldn't have a shield boost, it should have certain power for shields and weapons and the ability to shift power around, adjust your shields, all that jazz.

Kind of sounds like SWTOR's starfighter matches are better, and those are pretty lacking (but then, they were just tagged onto a ground-based MMO, so I didn't expect much, and they can still be fun sometimes).

OK town of salem is really fun. Went on for a couple of games pre fallout 4 session last night. Never got round to playing fallout 4.
Even when you lose it can be great. One game I was vocally telling people who the mafia were and begging protection at same time, and they hanged me so I had great fun with the "I told you so" when the town lost. But its was so fun.

Battlefront's Battle of Jakku DLC launched today, alongside a patch. I have to say it is very good, the new scenario Turning Point is the first objective based game I've had where people seem to pay attention to the damned objectives lol. There is a full on battle happening in the sky and wreckage is everywhere and you are fighting in the wrecks of AT-ATs and crashed ships and it is a fantastic map. The same map is used in Fighter Squadron except you are flying over it obviously and its gorgeous too. There are some other maps used in the regular scenarios which I haven't played yet.

Town of slaem again, I was running with Gaunts ghosts themed character names, and got serial killer role as lijah fething cuu, also got executioner as gaunt. I lol'd. Probably more than I should have. It would have been funnier if the other players got the references as well.

Starting to enjoy Fallout 4 after a distinctly false start.

Got a mate round tonight, so there may be some multiplayer nonsense had.

Try Battlefront co-op if you're still playing that, much fun.
