i guess the problem is that it was a singleplayer game

lol what? They should all be liquidated.
That would make shareholders agitated and worried.
>lol what? They should all be liquidated.
They fired everybody who did any work and left all producers and menagers.
In my 500+ people studio we had 2 failed projects closed down and 200 people fired ... except all producers that were moved to other projects, so now we have one producer per 3 people, they created new positions like head producers, lead producers and producer managers to keep them around
People who do the firing will never fire themselves
That's the reason why these games suck
People who make shitty games are never fired.
Because at the end of the day, its the managers and producers who make the decisions.
Maybe they could have used a small team to make something that wasn't slop, instead?
Nah; full tilt into cinematic blandness!
This Has dei written all over it. Which is why it failed.
the term is DIE, because it kills quality
Most well written Kirkslop
Hilarious how hard they're coping with the failure being because of it being a singleplayer shooter when DOOM's reboots were a hit.
Wait, is that the main character? Some generic late 2000s era graphics card demo mascot? I thought it was that horrible looking black goblin woman that's been in all the ads and pressers lol
How hard is it for them to talk to Vanessa Blue or something and face reference her instead of this shit?

>zero microtransactions
>no grind
>a shorter running time

like pottery
Is this game online only? I know its single player but you know EA...
>singleplayer
>zero microtransactions
>no grind
>a shorter running time
Did they try making it good though
surely the headline couldn't possibly be the most important quality of this game: that it looked like fricking dogshit
>Game looks good
>Denuvoshit
Now i remember why i haven't touched EA games
>EA launcher
yeah, I remember now too
It just didn't look very interesting, really.
For a game focusing on magic, it looked really, really dull.
Looked like shit, prob plays like shit, and had basically zero marketing for it.
>game journo tries to list the things that gamers want
>fails to mention "fun"
Sorry EA, the people want masterpieces like Palworld.
If only they had had a black female protagonist instead then there wouldn't be half a studio left to shit out more garbage.
the black girl was obviously the protagonist before they changed it last minute. the game in itself was fine, not bad not great.
i feel that forspoken poisoned the well for them. they didnt have a chance.
>piss of the chud audience
>piss of the (incredibly small) woke audience
this was their plan all along
125 million for this?
A crash can't come soon enough.
Who's the guy who keeps allocating 100+million dollar budgets to guaranteed flops and never gets fired ? I want in on that.
the awful cliched "hollywood movie" style trailer complete with capeshit dialogue they revealed the game with repelled me from ever touching it or even looking into it any further
How can you manage to make something so bland looking. Dont these idiots have any imagination, ai could make better setting in 30 seconds
woke morons throw shit in a blender and call it monalisa
mona lisa is also bland shit with little-to-no artistic significance and is literally only famous for being famous and because it was robbed once
theres less than 20 surviving paintings by Leonardo, that alone makes them significant
>3080 super minimum required to run at 60fps
>runs at 500p on consoles
Maybe instead of hiring Telltale studio employees they should have hired some racist white dudes to optimize their code lol
metroid prime had more "magic" then this game
half life 2
dishonored
it was a shit idea, I told them to expect to sell only 1 million copies
imagine making a FPS game with lame ass magic and not having multiplayer
