Agents of Mayhem

Saints Row game without GTA Clone gameplay or fun minigames.. "Hero shooter" gimmicks, except you play as multiple characters and switch between them, Trine style.

Who the fuck is this game even for? Who wants this shit?

People who secretly want to play warriors orochi 3, but don't because japanese games are misogynistic.

Not even co-op.

...

Nice dubies, but it's your fault that you live under the rock.

this somehow looks even worse than when I found out what it was in January. I just tried to watch like 3 jewtube vids from the past week and they all are just empty, mindless shooting segments. are these characters supposed to have unique abilities or something? what's going to kill it is absolutely no appeal to play the damn thing instead of any other SR game.

Watching the trailers for that game makes me glad that SR is the only Volition IP that Volition can still fuck with.

For me, it has the same problem that fortnite has: no character customisation.

In open world games I just want to make cute sexy girls. I see no appeal in this game other than that.

I literally only just found out about it today because of a Steam ad.

This is the kind of mentality that made video games stale and have been copying whichever is successful or the latest fad. This is why we can no longer have nice things.

Art style isn't all that bad. Reminds me of Evil Genius somewhat. Speaking of which, I heard Evil Genius 2 is actually being made now.

JESUS FUCKING DAMN GOD FUCKING I'M FUCKING MAD THAT AT THESE EVENTS

...

All I wanted was SR2 with the scale of at least one island from GTA:SA. Something half city, half rural.

You have no idea what that term means…

Do normalfags even care about Denuvo?

I think it'll be an "okay" game but nothing terribly impressive. I actually enjoyed Saints Row IV for how stupid it was. Hell, there were parts of SR3 I didn't hate.

I'm just happy they were nice enough to change the name of the franchise since it's drifted so far from what it originally was. I'd like to see some kind of soft reboot that takes SR back to its roots while Agents of Mayhem continues as its own series.

It has literally no appeal to anyone, prove me wrong.

...

It makes little to no sense connecting to the ridiculous canon SR3 and 4 created. So that's not a crazy thing to do. Act like the last two games didn't happen and just make SR2 styled grounded game with very little silly elements. Least little compared to 3 or 4.

>game about (((mayhem))) apparently

wew

Not in current year, goy. I seriously doubt anyone who works on these types of games has ever even seen a farm.

not to mention

I wish they would open source Saints Row 2 so we could have a giant 200 players modded co-op, make our own gangs and fuck each other up.

Saint's Row without Saint's Row. Gotcha.

The only good thing 4 had was the fact it was the Crackdown sequel we were waiting for. The ONLY real good part of 4 was the loyalty mission where you go back to the church where Saints Row was founded and get into a shoot out with a rival gang. That single part felt more like a saints row game than the last two games.

Literally what and who? Seriously I know next to nothing about this game and I haven't seen much of it anywhere

Saints Row 5 but without the Saints Row.

You mean Saints Row is something other than the color purple and lolsorandom XD?

It's going to crash with no survivors. Does it have multiplayer?

I don't know, probably.

That seems like a retarded business decision. At least putting the Saint rows name on it could have made some normalfags buy the game. Otherwise I cannot tell the difference between this game and the hundred of other copycats.

I want it to burn, but not more than I want it to never have existed.

What do normalfags actually care about?

Don't even remind me. I remember when I first heard of SR3 being in the making I thought it'd be a logical evolution of SR2 with its loads of content and tongue in cheek style (as opposed to the later randumb shit) taking pages from GTA SA like multiple cities. But we all know what happened.

It's Saint Rows plus tf2 with custom characters?

Fun gameplay and pretty graphics.
t. normalfag

The opinions of other normalfags

I forgot it even existed until now, this shit is going to flop hard.

No custom characters, Saints Row has been bastardized to the point where the only worthwhile feature left was stripped out for Overwatch-tier character selection.

Kill yourself

>>>/reddit/

The shit they did with Dex in Gat out of Hell shows what they think of old fans.

...

instead we get pozzed shit like mafia 3 and watch dogs 2 that flops and gives publishers the impression that "the only GTA game people want is GTA"

I stopped having hope for SR after 3, I just want THQ Nordic to announce a Red Faction Guerrilla 2 already

Yeah awesome writing and story

Does it at least have an SP?

Cuh it's like you *didn't* like the Tera Patrick DLC in 3 or something.

I'd have liked a solid SP game with the superpower elements from 4 expanded and refined, that could have worked.

I remember someone related to Agents of Mayhem saying that Johnny Gat comes from Korea, even though one of the earlier Saint's Row games say that his hometown was Stilwater.

...

so APB Reloaded?

It won't be ME:A bad it'll just be a boring kind of awful that gets the game ignored like ME:2

user the game sold really well

I was actually willing to give it a try for myself but fuck that.

Fuck saints row 1 multiplayer was great, i also loved the gta iv crooks and cops mode, why did they fucked something that was already good?

You know what I mean, it wasn't good at all but it wasn't a world leading flop so when discussion of games is brought up it isn't mentioned as they are bigger shits to laugh about

Do we send our virgin energy to Bald the Man?

When i first heard that the canon ending of Gat out of Hell was the saints row universe being reset i thought "hey, maybe they are gonna use this chance to make more games with the serious tone of SR 1-2 without going full wacky and retard". They had also mentioned they didnt want to make any SR character return, just use the same universe/setting.
Then they announced this, and apparently Gat is a preorder bonus. What was the fucking point?

Saints Row 3 was the best game in the series, just fyi.

Even without recurring characters, it would be piss easy to do a game set between 2 and 3 with a random group of Saints sent to take over a new town.

Hell, Saints Row: Vice Kings would be pretty cool.

It looks like it kinda flopped, PC has Denuvo along with microtransactions and performance issues.
It looks like a failed MMO to me.

saints row ran its course by the last two games and this looks like more of the same but reaching high levels of just being obnoxious instead of funny so i don't see it flying very far

It is shocking to me that publishers haven't learned by now how fucking useless Denuvo is. They may as well have just burned the money. Actually, burning the money is the superior option because your customers would end up happier due to no DRM.

You should have known better than to think anything positive, nothing good ever happens you should have realised this by now.

Even disregarding the lolsorandumb humor, this looks like absolute shit.

it didnt sell so good

Girls are actually sexy, but yeah denuvo and shit performance, probably caused by denuvo, killed it.
Not to mention that it looks like a ps3 game.

To be fair, most sales are on consoles.

Uh what? Get your eyes checked user.

Why are kikes ruining all forms of media?

...

...

Homopedos please leave.

...

...

Are your tastes defined by dragon age series, by chance? Because that's the only series fags express similar shit taste about.

It's nothing alike.

Yeah, of course, because there's no mobile phones in dragon age to do duckfaces.

end this timeline

Dumb tumblr humour is one thing, but girls are fucking sexy and if you think otherwise, you are degenerate.

That thing is not appealing in any way.

This woman is clearly not white, but some brown mistery meat. If you want to go full Holla Forums with your "degenerate" comment, you might as well be classified yourself as degenerate for loving mixed race gipsy whores.

Mixed races have best survivability.
Also I'm not pol, wanting to have sex with children and males and children males is biological degeneracy, not some fucking buzzword adopted by coach politicians.

Just kill yourself, you double nigger.

...

...

You know that hybridization is not always good? See: the mule.

Races != species.
Seriously what's up with illiteracy itt?

It works the same way nigger. Most human genetic diseases and conditions are dominant genes, racemixing is often a bad idea.

You sound like a moron man, genetic diseases are usually dominant in humans because our inbreeding rates are incredibly low, meaning that recessive ones can't proliferate in the vain of dog & cats, as well as isolated populations of animals living on islands and shit. We're a planetary species, saying something like sickle cell disease, or dwarfism, is like the infertility and defects induced from mixing a horse and donkey, then you truly prove that user right.
Which is ironic, cause he's an idiot for the same reason, he didn't do any research!

...

I fucking bet that shit performance is the result of denuvo.
Just yousee how cracked version will run like butter.
Maybe THAT will awaken normalfags.

pastebin.com/tGMEhbhf

I watched the trailer for this a while ago and it looked like total ass. It looked like a fucking PS2 game

I'd rather play crackdown

...

do people really think that ? I always associated that with niggers

too bad, user, you get the game's audio system being run in trial mode :^)

you're like those retards who think sfm porn looks good, aren't you?

How dark do you like 'em?

Not when they're on the end of a purging rope.

Didn't they gave the guy who made Gentlemen of the Row the source code for 2?

I'm down with this.

They look like lazy plastic cartoons of off-colour whores, get some better taste.

Honestly, I'm still confused as to what it actually is or is trying to be. All the gameplay I've seen just shows you shooting some robots, but you have to switch characters to get a different gun to shoot more robots. There just doesn't seem to be anything to do in it. I don't know how the fuck this was greenlit at all unless they are intentionally trying to bury the franchise.

I literally have not heard a single thing about this in a long while. I heard they were making a Saints Row sequel set in one of Gat Out of Hell's multiple endings, but only now I heard they already released the game.

They want the Overwatch audience evidently.

Jesus, now that is a property I haven't heard since forever. Is Microsoft ever gonna release it?
That is because it was modeled exactly like how the original and second SR games were like.

Evidently immigration took its toll on the native citizens and replaced them all with foreigners.

Those models don't look very appealing and I doubt even they are still keeping the lolsorandumb type of humor, they aren't going to go back to the level of raunchiness from previous games.

This game needed more marketing, I'm hearing absolutely nothing about it, only just remembered it due to this thread and flippy's video on the cars. I'm curious about how many sales it's made, though I don't know anything about it I think it's cool as fuck that the cars are basically drivable hot wheels cars.

Diversity wins again!

So curious.
Do you not want diversity in your game?
Or do you want diversity in your games but for the diversity to not be the selling point?

Diversity for the sake of diversity is shit. Having characters that are only characterised by their skin colour or sexuality is shit. I couldn't care less about what race, sexuality, religion etc a character is as long as the character is actually interesting and more than just a two dimensional ploy to appeal to the demographic they represent.

dont forget that the one white woman agent is a rollerderby rockabilly bulldyke stereotype.

lol what is a histocompatibility complex?
mixed race humans have unique health problems, plus they can only accept transplated tissue from someone who happens to be the exact same mix.

it's a single player 3rd person shooter that got rejigged to look like overwatch. it originally had a different thing going on, I guess.

the story is literally 'GI Joe but people say fuck a lot', except the Baroness is hatsune miku with multiple personality disorder. (whatever you thought of when I said that is more interesting than what they did with the character.)

that's cuck talk, son. diversity is a weapon against us, don't accept it.

Anywhere between California Gold and Turkish Rosewater

That is very much true.
t. Mongrel user.

This is true for every race. As far as I know, lanklet whites has an unusually high problem with spontaneous lung perforation.

Don't worry, this shit flopped on console too. It's like people already said in this thread, who the fuck were they marketing this too? They got rid of everything Saints Row fans liked about the series and seemed to be going for the tumblrWatch audience.

Lets gather everbody together
To be able to piece fundation of the capstone

Yeah, but there are some unique challenges mixed people face, like bone marrow transplants for example. Actual health complications don't seem to be much different from other people of varying ethnicity. Percentage-wise, it might seem better, but multiracial people are a much smaller part of the population.

t. another Mongrel user

I'm to Turkish Rosewater to Dusky Dravidian

Anything after seems a bit too bitter of dark chocolate

Stillbirth

What the fuck guys….

Believe it or not, but not everyone from here also browses Holla Forums.

What the fuck man….

I wouldn't mind this game's existence if it wasn't 1. Pozzed to hell and back and 2. Came to be through the death, butchering and corpse-raping of the Saints Row franchise. Seriously why did they have to make SR3 and 4 essentially prototypes of this game? Why couldn't they just continue the Saints Row franchise (by just making SR2 + bigger map editions), then use those funds to create a different team to create a wacky superhero game as a different franchise for a different audience? Wouldn't it be best for a company to expand horizontally across consumer markets? Why slowly butcher one franchise only to turn it into another? Let the plebbit fags have their shitty humor, SJW, duckface, meme-filled, superhero faggotry game and let the rest of us enjoy Saints Row. I'm sick of these kike-run companies DELIBERATELY ruining everything.

A-fucking-men, user. Summed it up perfectly.

I happen to have a unique type of auto-immune hepaetitis and its nearly impossible to find a compatible organ. Thankfully I am not in the need of one right now, but sooner or later I will tho.

One of the retsupurae goons claimed to have pitched the game to the company, so there's no way this is gonna be good.

Don't worry, summer is almost over. Soon the racemixing chimp lovers will go back to whatever pits they crawled out of.

There are a couple of reasons Saints Row changed to such a ludicrous degree after 1/2. Basically, 1's excellent twist and once-in a blue moon good writing were mostly accidents that happened to work in teh favor of the devs. Julius was originally going to break out of jail and be seen running from the cops, the animators were too lazy and just animated him watching the boat and looking at his watch to save time. 1 was a GTA clone slapped together to make a quick buck due to the void GTA had left since 4 didn't debut for another 5 years or so.

Saints Row 2 was made and heavily marketed on the idea that it was basically GTA but bringing the wacky fun back. What actually made Saints Row 2 good was the content, the excellent blend of comedy/drama, and the scale. Nobody talked about those things, however, which lead the devs to believe that what people actually liked was the 'wacky' 'silly' 'lolsorandumXD!11!' moments.

Saints Row 3 rolls around, and some of the head honchos of Volition have bailed, so we've got new project managers stepping in and thinking
There were also several interviews that came out that showed a shift in the design priorities of the team. Somebody asked one of the devs what happened to all the little secrets and easter eggs hidden around the world and why Steelport lacked in this regard. They basically just said 'we don't want to spend money on stuff nobody is going to see so we just make the graphics look nicer and focus on the setpieces rather than the optional content.'

To make this even worse, all the critics get up and start singing Saints Row's praises for this new 'even sillier' direction. A lot of people say that Saints Row really came into it's own with 3/4. While every true fan knows that all they really did was move away from it's roots.

Looks like it's not even on Steam's top sellers anymore. I hope this ends up as an Andromeda-level failure.

Literally at least 80% of Saints Row fans think 2 is the best by far, just make a fucking sequel and everything would be great because acceptable open world games are missing from this decade.

Anyways the real question here is how likely is it that deep silver will tank volition after this bombs? At that point they'll have pretty much proven that they can't make anything that isn't Saints row.

They also made Red Faction, but RF: Armageddon proved that they can't make that anymore either.

...

Who's this person talking?

Devs don't care about the fans, and Saints Row 3/4 still sold really well. It doesn't matter if people complain about the product if they still bought the fucking product.

Marky my words, this will bomb, Volition will just make another Saints Row game and it'll sell like hotcakes despite being the same trash it always was.

But I thought Organ and blood transfusions only required the right blood type? Is there more than one criteria for successful transplanting? Forgive me I know nothing about organ doning.

There's a lot more to it I imagine, there's a reason they reach out to family first when somebody needs a new kidney.

Even with the right blood type 80%+ of transplanted organs fail again within 5 years. Humans were not meant to play god.

Either two things are going to happen here, i think. Either A: they close up shop in the middle of developing a saints row game because of the time it takes to develop a new one, and they're so thoroughly incapable of making a new IP that any attempts to do so will just end in disaster.

or B: Everyone gets fucking sick of saints row because volition, in an effort to make sure they have something to sell, rehashes the fuck out of the same old content they have been

Or maybe SR5 might just bomb from the start. 3/4 follow the dragon ball z method really. It's all about escalation, adding more and more shit, more flashy set pieces, more memes for the redditors to chew on, more wacky guns, each more crazy and overpowered than the last, more abilities, more gimmicks, just more, more, and fucking more, and i personally think they're at the point where they really can't push it more than they already have, which is why they're trying out agents of mayhem to begin with. I mean, the 4th game started you out almost immediately with the ability to run faster than any car in the game, with the ability to practically fly through the entire level not too far off. Then to top that, Gat outta hell gives you the ability to actually fly right out the gate, and was even lighter on content than the 4th game despite having about as much dev time. How likely is it that they can put enough shit together to make a 5th game, will they follow up on that ending in gat outta hell and reboot it?

I'm going to play Devils advocate and say this. God made self-preservation a natural response in all creatures, so wouldn't attempting to replace a failing organ be natural, and thus NOT playing God? Playing God would be to attempt to CREATE organs or life.

polite(?) sage for off topic.

I highly doubt it. Casuals expect CRAZYCRAZYCRAAAAAAAZY from Saints Row, so a game that goes back to the series roots would definitely bomb. Not to mention Volition is way too fucking retarded to pull something like that off, we'd most likely end up with another Dead Rising 4 on our hands. But since they can't push the series any farther I hope, the only option they have to stay afloat is to drop Saints Row entirely and start a new IP, and look how that's turning out.

this is definitely the end for them

GTAV did have farmland though

Doesn't Chip Cheezum work PR for THQ Nordic or something like that?

Josh Stinson is a "video editor" for volition. Sounds far fetched that they would listen to him in the first place, but i'm guessing that's just how desperate for new ideas they are.

dsvolition.com/staff/josh-stinson/

*AKA chip cheezum

It's obvious they want the Overwatch audience. But unless they allow players to whack each other with giant dildos it's going to fail.

Well, the characters look ok. just ok though.

I dont even know what to feel. Maybe it's good they put it to sleep, because raping same assets got a bit old.

What the fuck have you been smoking my man?

IIRC his voice actor is Korean and he's modeled after him, so they probably meant that

They already made a SR game after 4, Gat out of hell and I don't think it sold well at all

Whats wrong?

End yourself. Your stupidity and shit taste have to be removed from the gene pool.

Oh my god I've literally heard nothing about it since that one trailer that came out right after SR4. It's obviously an aborted fetus at this point given the apparent lack of marketing budget.

what the fuck is up with that shoulder

>>>Holla Forums
Stay there

I hope this trend keeps going, especially when it happens to shit tier companies like Gearbox.

I'm expecting Valve's next proper game will be Team Fortress 3, but it'll be more Overwatch than TF2, with shit heroes with cooldowns

Sauce on california gold and bedouin dreams?
