I would give it a week or so to allow for patches given that it is EA anyways.
I do wish the single player was longer, as that has always been the draw of the X-Wing / Tie fighter games but I can see them wanting multiplayer so they can add map "Expansions" later or something.
This will be an amazing game for people with VR headsets, however given the ridiculous backorder period for Index' (Average is 4 months right now!) at a minimum it will be in a 9$ humble bundle by then. G2 maybe if it doesn't get instantly sold out.
I'm midly interested in this game. I'm not a Star Wars fan, but they've had some great games (KOTOR I&II, Tie-Fighter, X-Wing, Rogue Squadron), and I played the snot out of X-wing as a kid, but I'm not all that interested in online multiplayer. A longer single player is way more interesting to me, or even an expansion/season pass.
Maybe I'll give the MP a try eventually if I get it, but can't help but feel it'll be full of gatcha, loot boxes or 'pay to progress' knowing EA. Maybe I'll be wrong, but even ME3's multiplayer felt like an endless game of chance just to get the 2 or 3 unlocks you actually wanted.
I am curious how the mouse and keyboard vs gamepad vs HOTAS/HOSAS will play out and if one ends up giving a ton of advantage over the others.
