>PC game running on the latest technology that won't run on a 2 year old graphics card
PC gamers are usually 4-6 years behind, target that hardware and you might get some sales.
Its name was too much, confusing to people as they probably thought it was some RPG. It looked too corporate checklist with the characters. UE5 performance killed a lot of interest.
>what people expect from FPS games is big guns, big explosions and a lot of gore/action >EA releases a shitty FPS game with magic and gay bullshit >AND its a black woman in the cover
I think the only FPS game that had success without big guns/explosions/action was Hexen back in 95.
And plenty of people were talking about the death of singleplayer/console games then, too. Make a good game with a reasonable budget and it will sell well
Seriously who at EA thought this was a good idea? Aren't they like super cutthroat and cancel shit all the time unless it makes money how'd this get through?
>market it like shit >looks the definition of "overproduced crap" >doesn't sell
I literally had no idea when the game was coming out, I only knew about its existence from seeing an article about it months before it actually released on pcgamer and even then It just looked unappealing. The overall clutter of the design and stale portrayal of the gameplay did it no favors. Then of course seeing the EA logo still puts a stink on anything these days for me.
that character was truly an awful idea
>single player shooter bad idea
>DOOM exists
Maybe the game was just shit
If he admitted the real reason he'd never be hired again.
>it’s the genre’s fault our shit game flopped
That’s some next level cope.
i have quite literally never heard of this shit, and im glad i havent
SkillUp said it was good
As yes, back to blaming genres instead of making shit games.
The game needed more black women, make them gay and put them in wheelchairs.
>The game needed more black women, make them gay and put them in wheelchairs.
this so much. the game needed more diversity.
The reasons for whe the game flopped can be seen in this very picture!

>main character is a straight white male
>game was a bland piece of shit and ran just like it
>"LETS BLAME IT ONE THIS BLACK SIDE CHARACTER!"
I swear this place continues to be moronic on purpose
>I swear this plac
protagonist is a whiny idiot.
"side character" is a legendary girl boss.
poojet character out of nowhere
Jesus fricking christ this b***h really is in every game.
That's Gina Torres you moronic chud.
arr rook same
Atomic Heart did well, as did the last Metro game and Cyberpunk 2077. The issue isn't singleplayer, they simply made a undesirable product.

They'll blame everything before admitting that its the shitwashing huh
No one bought it first and foremost because the gameplay looked like shit.

What are you talking about?
half of the images you get when you search for the game is this powerful woman of color. aka as sales poison.
The success of Far cry 3 proves this to be false
Far Cry 3 was 12 years ago you fricking idiot.
And plenty of people were talking about the death of singleplayer/console games then, too. Make a good game with a reasonable budget and it will sell well

In a good world EA would be bankrupt after makes games like this, BF2042, and Anthem
In a better world EA would have folded the moment they released a new sports game that isn't remotely different from the previous one.

>moron EA employee blames the failure on it being a single-player shooter
>instead of it being woke trash that appeals to literally nobody
if you facescan real people for your characters instead of actually designing appealing characters i will not play your game
