The game must be doing even worse than we thought.This must really be a "100% of tree fiddy" situation for EA, of all companies, to be doing this. Between this news and knowing that Michael Kirkbride was part of the writing team I'm now kinda of curious to give it a go.
I mean….
Can it be that bad?

There just wasn’t a whole lot of market for a 7/10 full price game in an 11/10 gaming year.
I tried this game, got constant stutters on my machine that is well above recommended specs. Google shows I’m not alone either, the game is badly optimized.
I just don’t understand why they did it. I’m all for taking risks, but this was just risks in the wrong areas. Don’t push the envelope on technology and graphics over gameplay.
Well, looks like Immortals of Aveum is going to make Ascendant Studios filthy rich! Good move by EA to support their new venture.
Game isn’t even bad. It just wasn’t amazing. It was a solid time that was pretty impressive for a debut game from a new studio that got little to no marketing.
It’s on gamepass now if anyone’s wanting check it out without paying the full price
Ea wants the write off and gives them good or while everyone else is shitting the bed.
Ended up liking it overall when it went on PS Plus but I would’ve never paid full price for it. Zendara mains represent.
EA willingly giving up money? That’s how you know the world is fucked up.
I personally don’t like the animation of the hand. Feels old with too many particle effects from everything I’ve seen.
I haven’t played it mind you and I LOCKED in when I played doom eternal which also has a ton of particle effects but idk. The hand looks like it isn’t attached to a body just like the old games where your hands were an individual floating object with the camera jammed in between them in front of the shoulders
I’ve been playing it and the Performance is pretty bad.
There were some issues with it, I actually enjoyed the overall storyline but it’s weighed down a bit by rather annoying characters. The gameplay was pretty fun, and I enjoyed the music a lot.
Isn’t the chick in the photo like a 1:1 copy of the lady who voices ikora from destinyn? The boss lady in suits
I stopped playing the game when the black leader or whatever she was asked to be called “sir” so I lasted at least 15min
Not exactly a rarity in the industry and especially EA. When SWTOR, the KOTOR 1/2 MMO sequel, was taken from Bioware and given to Broadsword studios last year, a former dev talked about the transition and some behind the scenes stuff with bioware and EA. Apparently, despite making likely over a billion dollars in revenue, the game has suffered multiple content droughts over the years and the story content, which the MMO was renown for, has been very lackluster for quite some time. That former dev revealed that much of SWTORs revenue went into “building other franchises” like Anthem. While both games were developed by bioware, I can only imagine how much of that revenue over the last decade has been siphoned by EA for other trash while leaving SWTOR and it’s players in the gutter for years.
Is this because they are releasing it to gamepass? Maybe EA had to agree to this
I finished it in roughly 40 hours. it’s not a bad game, really.
Unskippable cutscenes killed the game for me, story wasn’t interesting so just let me get to shooting stuff.
I feel really bad for them. It’s not even bad, just not amazing. If they survive they need to go smaller scope with big ideas instead of jumping into a new IP AAA game with average execution.
Terrible timing. 2023 was a stacked year. Possibly should have delayed to work out technical issues. People will be more forgiving of games like RE4.
story is absolute dogwater but the gameplay is actually decently good. I had fun. I think it’s a little overhated. Justifiably but still.
I thought the whole point of ea originals is to give devs all money from sales
