I wonder if you aren't the moronic one here. What most likely happened is that EA approached these fricks and offered them money for this article so they can show it to their shareholders and tell them that it wasn't their mistake, but the consumers fault. Giving kotaku 10k for a shitty article like this is cheaper than having your investors pull out their money because they realize you fricking suck at making games.
>Grim time for single player games
No wonder they assembled a discord raid the moment a certain single players games DLC announcement. Leftists trying to brute force another false narrative. What else is new
>release a generic 'magic' shooter particle vomit slop, as sloppy as possible >blame the fact no one wants to buy singleplayer games rather than the game in question is absolute trash
lol, lmao
How would we know the names of characters from a game we did not play?
Can someone without looking it up honestly tell me the names of any of these characters? This game is forgettable trash
>I refuse to play a video game if a woman isn't white and a sex object
Was Anita right all along? Or did her bringing it up cause people to double down more?
>>I refuse to play a video game if a woman isn't white and a sex object
my man, they put the bare minimum into marketing for this game
it had two (2) trailers at gameshows that everyone either dismissed or hated because they were pre-rendered trailers with Black person music
Samus is, was, and always will be the inarguable refutation of that bullshit line of reasoning. Everyone knew Samus was female when Super Metroid came out. She even spends the whole game in a non-sexy powersuit. No one cared, it sold gangbusters, and it ended up being one of the most popular games of all time and a time tested classic.
Not a single fricking person gives a single flying frick what the main character is if you just shut up and design a good game.
>no argument
face it, your game flopped because your character artists were californians who decided to make us play as some ugly karen.
you can have the best gameplay in the world, if your protagonist isn't cool or sexy it will flop
problem?
Why aren't the men in soap operas and media aimed at female audince, balding indian manlets, instead of chiseled, tall gigachads with great hair? Why must the women in media aimed at male audience be fat ugly niggresses?
>hogwarts, elden ring, baldurs gate sell 100 million copies
>EA slop made with ESG loans and from a studio that hired all the woke san fran developers from Telltale and required a 2080 super to launch sells 0 copies
Single player games are just not financially viable in the current market, it's a deas genre. A blockbuster like this would have made billions in sales 20 years ago.
EA really went all out, creating a love letter to all classic single player shooters and not a single person bought it.
>EA really went all out, creating a love letter to all classic single player shooters and not a single person bought it.
EA didn't make it. the EA originals program is basically as far as you can go with the "publisher is hands off, only the developer calls the shots" idea. the statement about singleplayer games being dead was from a former dev of that studio, not EA
How much did Shittaku pay you to make this thread, you Twitter/journo shill troony shithead. YWNBAW. GET FRICKING PERMABANNED YOU FRICKING SHILL WOKEFRICK. EVERYONE REPORT THE THREAD
You bump this thread, you're a troony just like OPgay and Shittake. REPORT THE FRICKING THREAD YOU USELESS FRICKS. STOP GIVING THOSE JOURNO BASTARDS ATTENTION
The only acceptable interpretation of this title is that for enough people to think that game was acceptable quality for release proves there's too many morons making single-player games.

The subheadings generally make these articles seem less moronic. The quote is actually about AAA single-player shooters and it being a rough time to release those, not just single-player in general, and that immortals was a victim of pumping more many and expectations than the studio could deliver on their first combined endeavor.
Can you autistic journogays please explain why you make these bullshit journo threads? What are you trying to accomplish by screencapping their shits and making threads with it? Is this really worth your time? You want them to get shit on but you're just doing them favors by giving them attention. Just ignore them you stupid fricks
Rage addiction is as real as the hunger of a dope fiend whose arms look like they were clawed by a tiger. There's nothing to accomplish, they just want to find stuff to be mad at. If it wasn't this, it'll be something else, there's a thread in the catalog about that troony working on the Indiana Jones game, Debra Wilson having a career, some troony with 10 followers having an opinion on a game, eceleb drama, etc.
Hogwarts Legacy, a game that Kotaku refuses to acknowledge the existence of, is a single player game with no MT or gachashit and was the #1 selling game of last year.
I think journos have no intuitive sense of if a game is gay or lame anymore, and also have this philosophy that every game is valid because everything precious developers do is in some way valuable, and so they're mystified when an obviously gay and lame game flops and so chalk it up to some weird fatalistic reason outside of the control of the developers. Journos also hate 'gamers' and so they're satisfied if something bad can be in some sense be blamed on gamers
Nothing has killed it yet Its just companies want to claim they fail because they see multiplayer games with battle passes make way more money and would rather be making them and want to make them fail so they can shove studios into the live service mines.
Shit devs
no matter how much you think you hate kotaku, i promise it just isnt enough.
purple hairs.
>shitaku bloggers are fricking moronic

that would imply that there are people out there who take shitaku serious KEK

the statement was made by the dev studio not EA

We will never know why Immortals of Aveum didn't succeed. It will forever be a complete mystery why gamers didn't like it.
Can someone without looking it up honestly tell me the names of any of these characters? This game is forgettable trash

Beauty and sex appeal are different things. Do you want to have sex with this landscape?
Not him but yes. I'd frick it so hard it practically would be begging to be turned into a 8 lane highway with shitty gas stations next to it
>Mindbreaking a forest
Sounds like lore for some weird ass game
agree but nu-Lady is perfect
Women being ugly is the worst thing in the world
Samus is, was, and always will be the inarguable refutation of that bullshit line of reasoning. Everyone knew Samus was female when Super Metroid came out.

Not a single fricking person gives a single flying frick what the main character is if you just shut up and design a good game.
but Returnal flopped even though it was a good game, the main character just wasn't sexy so it flopped
>even though it was a good game
>no argument

Who are you quoting
Why aren't the men in soap operas and media aimed at female audince, balding indian manlets, instead of chiseled, tall gigachads with great hair? Why must the women in media aimed at male audience be fat ugly niggresses?
You can't say the truth without some screeching israelite making you lose your job, so yeah.
Nothing. That one was just fricking trash and ran like crap too.
can't monetize sp games aswell as alwaysonline shits
This narrative would make sense if there werent numerous successful single player only games released in the last few years
>hogwarts, elden ring, baldurs gate sell 100 million copies
>EA slop made with ESG loans and from a studio that hired all the woke san fran developers from Telltale and required a 2080 super to launch sells 0 copies
HMmmmm.... it must be the single player game!
>Witcher 3 sells like hotcakes
>BG3 sells like hotcakes
>RE4 remake sells like hotcakes
>Zelda TotK sells like hotcakes
The problem isn't single player games. Stop making shitty games.
>journalists are popularizing the "people don't want AAA single player games" excuse for free
They can't hang soon enough.
This is the same situation as Adromeda really. EA gave too much money and pressure to an unproven dev.
shit singleplayer games don't tend to sell well.
"If only we made our game a multiplayer GAAS it would have succeeded just like Suicide Squad!"
Hogwart’s Legacy and Baldur’s Gate invalidate this entire article.
wtf is that game?
First and probably last game of a studio partly filled with ex-telltale devs with a story supposedly written by Michael Kirkbride,
>Oblivion and Morrowind writer
No wonder it's shit.
lol they even put a pajeet in
no need to go that far, anon, the protagonist is ugly brown mystery meat too
Nothing, saying nobody buys single player games is just a convenient excuse for incompetent devs who make shitty games
Massive budget thanks to too many hires
Single player games are just not financially viable in the current market, it's a deas genre. A blockbuster like this would have made billions in sales 20 years ago.
EA really went all out, creating a love letter to all classic single player shooters and not a single person bought it.

No one wants to play them.
FRICKING BUMPTRANNIES FRICK OFF

You forgot your HRT pills, troony
The only acceptable interpretation of this title is that for enough people to think that game was acceptable quality for release proves there's too many morons making single-player games.
nothing there are like 4 or 5 in the pipeline what are you dull?
The only "advertisement" for this game that I saw was articles post-release saying that it flopped
Does anyone know what this game even is? ALl I heard is that it's a shooter and the devs/publisher are seething hard because it didn't sell.

ITT: Anon discovers that venting is a thing and this confuses and frightens him
More like there's industries almost entirely shaped around profiting off of your venting.
Hogwarts Legacy, a game that Kotaku refuses to acknowledge the existence of, is a single player game with no MT or gachashit and was the #1 selling game of last year.
2b is still showing up in random games as dlc and that game came out in fricking 2017
2b is safe horny approved like the tall chick from RE8 for whatever reason.
I think journos have no intuitive sense of if a game is gay or lame anymore, and also have this philosophy that every game is valid because everything precious developers do is in some way valuable, and so they're mystified when an obviously gay and lame game flops and so chalk it up to some weird fatalistic reason outside of the control of the developers.

OH BOY MORE KOTAKU CLICK BAIT RAGE BAIT HOW EXCITING!!!
Nothing has killed it yet Its just companies want to claim they fail because they see multiplayer games with battle passes make way more money and would rather be making them and want to make them fail so they can shove studios into the live service mines.
>don't advertise your single player game at all
>wonder why nobody buys it
>make a trash game
>trash game flops
>blame the fact it's a singleplayer game and not a trash game
I don't know, why don't you make another thread?
Oh the Kotafricker is spamming this shit huh? That's a good reason to report him
wasn't that harry pooter game the best selling game of last year and it was completely single player?
