It's open world over the shoulder third person shooter. You get to play 12 different Agents and do repetitive missions with subpar gunplay. It's not a terrible game, it's just extremely mediocre.

Battleborn went F2P and it can't even break 500 concurrent players.

LawBreakers would need to go F2P NOW if it wants to have any chance at success, considering its doing much worse than Battleborn did at this point post-launch.

So far, it's really meh. Sorta clunky, definitely glitchy, though that can be fixed. I'm mostly trying to figure out who everyone is supposed to represent from the SR universe who also isn't obvious as shit.

>>387291582
Saints Row 4 was basically a better Crackdown, but SR3 was fucking mediocre as hell.

They should have made another game like SR4 or SR2, either one would be successful. But AoM is all the worst aspects of SR3 thrown together into some fuckawful single-player hero shooter thing.

People loved SR2 because it struck a good balance between seriousness and wacky humor, at a time when GTA had gone full serious business with 4 and people missed San Andreas' more humorous elements.

Volition interpreted this as 'wacky = good', so they just kept upping the ante on the crazy shit with each game. This wrote/devved them into a corner, where the games didn't resemble SR1/2 in neither tone nor gameplay. Eventually they tried to hit the reset button with Gat out of Hell's ending, but they still figure 'wacky = sales', so now we get AoM, which is basically just an offline hero shooter version of SR3.

Bought Saints Row 2, 3 (and multiple friends copies), and 4 twice.

Don't take your opinion for a generality, Saint's row 3 sold more units than 2 and 4 sold even more than these two, meaning that the strategy working.. until now.
Most saint's row players who bought 4 don't fucking care about the game not resembling 1/2, that's just your autistic niche opinion.

I thought I was following this games progress but instead find their ad campaign budget is jack shit.

Volition was already pretty mediocre by SR4 and GOUH so I was only hoping for a Hail Mary revival of SR3 gameplay. NAH. It's very repetitive and recycles the same tasks even in the main story. As a SR fan, with no coop... it's garbage, do not buy it.

You use the mouse scroll to switch between three characters. They tried to make it "character-driven" which to them means the characters are varied like a MOBA or Overwatch. Except it's got really poorly edited animations and music is so mild that nothing feels exciting.

They saw fans cosplaying obscure Saints characters so they thought that's what fans wanted and made a game about pretty boring people doing boring shit.

Funny enough like there wasn't a standard "American" voice in SR2, so if you wanted to play as a white dude, the only option was the heavy Cockney accent. It was a good voice though, whomever did the voice really nailed it and I'm pretty disappointed he was replaced by the edgy British voice in SR3

B-but I still wanna try it. Is 60 bucks reasonable for a game that I just wanna TRY. Have we not learned anything about demos in the past?

>>387294683
Basically a group of mercenaries take out some evil empire/army or whatever and their scheme that are messing with the city

>>387294683
The DLC Gat out of Hell ending retconned everything and now you are in futuristic Seoul and Saints is now a global defense agency know as MAYHEM. The Fleur de Lis is still their symbol they just aren't called Saints outright.

>>387294184
Honestly, even if I was to ignore Volition's track record of late, it just does not look like the kind of game that I would sink 60 bucks into

>>387290232
Had not even heard of this games existence till threads started popping up a few days ago.

>>387294286

does it at least have AI coop?

I'm convinced this is their B team.
Say what you will about SR3 and 4, but they have a ton of side stuff to do (though not as much as 2) and there's a shit ton of polish that goes into them. This, not so much.

To me it seems like this is basically their tech demo for the combat and graphics that'll be in SR5

>>387294825
Mayhem has nothing to do with the Third Street Saints as they still exist in-universe, I believe. Pierce united the rival gangs under him

>>387295273
In this universe Pierce worked for the Vice Kings actually.
Saints Row 5 will be a different new timeline that starts from the very beginning if I had to take a guess.

I'm enjoying it. It's pretty mediocre overall, but its gameplay loop appeals to me.

I'm pretty disappointed that out of all the references to yakuza films and games they could have done for this guy, they chose something that doesn't even make sense for his character.

>>387295171
No, you select 3 people and swap the controlled character in and out in real time. Like Warriors Orochi, if you've ever played that.

Can someone cross reference the credits of mayhem with the credits of SR4 so we can see if this is an A team / B team thing, or if they legitimately somehow fucked up bad.
Because if it's the former, SR5 is probably just a year or two away. If it's the latter, it's a good 3-4 years away and will be Volition's last chance.

>>387295435
Or follow the ending of GooH were God gives Gat the coordinates to a livable planet and the Saints probably have to deal with hostile aliens before claiming the land. This is the scenario I want most because I'd like to see how they incorporate the Zin empire into this since they're now subservient to the Boss

Why didn't they just make another Saints Row game?

If you guys like bows in any way
you should try it out. Rama the archer is fun to use and Gat is pretty fun so far but I have not unlocked the rest. My biggest issue with the game is probably the lack of customization but honestly seeing how many of the agents play so differently i don't see how it could work. I hope Volition is really working on some kind of Saints Row 2 successor but AOM is a not a bad game so far. Weapons have this punchy satisfying feeling especially the bow.

>>387295648
Probably in the works. For all we know AoM could've been a side project

>>387295672
I probably would check it out if it wasn't $60. It doesn't look like a game that's worth $60 to me.

I got it from cdkeys for 35 bucks

Lead designer of SR4 and someone who has been a designer of every SR since 2 didn't work on Mayhem despite still working at Volition.
This is a definite B team effort because they realized SR5 was going to take much longer due to the new gen.

I dunno. I don't think Johnny would leave the Saints a second time.

I don't think Johnny would make them go through that again desu because I get the feeling the Boss would probably blame himself

>>387304626
No because the Boss never joins the Saints and inherits the role of Boss, he never befriends Johnny, he never attracts Cyrus to Steelport by going after the other gangs there as revenge for Johnny, he never defeats Cyrus which drive him to terrorism, he never becomes President by stopping Cyrus, and Zinyak has no reason to abject him. The Earrh is likely not even destroyed because Zinyak only destroyed it because the Boss was resisting him

>>387293105
That's the reason they are rebooting the franchise, SR5 is most likely going to be a SR1 remake.

Some of us jut wanted SR5, not some overwatch tier 'heroes' game.

>>387303696
What did he do?

>>387305287
And some of us wanted SR2-2

You know I really liked SR3.

You could fininsh a lot of missions using different things while SR4 scripted out the missions.

In SR3 you could use the humvess with turrets, tanks (which had machineguns too fuck you gtav) , jets, gi joe jets , army apcs, gi joe apcs.

The vehicles in sr3 and missions were fuckign amazing.

>>387290389
No, that was because Jeff Gerstmann was honest about the game instead of going with the marketing agreement that Square had made with Gamespot. And not all reviewers have the same tastes. The game is simple fun, it isn't the best game ever, but it's fun and doesn't take itself seriously.

>>387305346
Don't worry anon, I'm with you
The shooting and vehicles felt really fluid, and Boss' playmodel and personality wasn't an eyesore

>>387304286
Not if things can go a different way. Even more so if Gat retains his memories.

>>387305290
developed this game

>>387305346
I liked 3 too, I felt like it had a better curve to its silliness, increasing it bit by bit as the story got further. 4 just blasted you with everything it had at the start and had little surprises along the way, I felt tired towards the end. 3 was the first one I played though so I had absolutely no expectations hopping in, after playing 2 I can see why people dislike it but on its own it's fun.

>>387305316

>we will never discover a new city, new gangs
>we will never meet Donnie a third time and probably have him join the Saints
Fuck this gay Earth. The Third had potential with Steelport (should have kept the origional name of Bridgeport) as an expy of NYC and New Jersey, shame it was so dull, and lifeless compared to Stilwater. Also, shame about the Morningstars, the only decent looking gang with a cool boss and interesting arms legal or not arms dealer/prostitution/human traffic background. I am still mad they hyped Loren as some sort of classy James Bondesque villain just to have him die a shitty death and have Bane in green take over. Also, they should have never have the Syndicate work together. Fuck, SRTT was such a disappointment: new designs, graphics, playground and lack of activities when they were for most mission tutorials (RIP FUZZ) were a let down.

Derp Silver biggest problem is that they think you can put out just decent game nowadays and people will buy it. You need 50 billion marketing budget after those years COD been plowing the industry just for the retards start remembering your name.

What the fuck are you saying? I can understand you thinking that about playmodel, though i prefer SR2's one, but personality wise, the Boss was fucking neutered, even butchered.

You know why western developers don't make 'attractive" female characters anymore? Well Volition just did. Did it help them? No. Would it help them if added a tranny instead? Kotaku would at least mentioned that in article.

>>387306120
>From a sociopathic power-hungry stone cold killa that takes nobody's shit to wimp that gets told by fucking marfy sue cunt Kinzie.
Well yeah
I like laid back boss
I don't appreciate him getting bossed around by Kinzie but that's the writers fault for making her a Mary Sue and the only reason you can accomplish anything in the 4th game
I like Boss being more of a lovable prideful idiot better at violence than Johnny Gat than all the Saints Row 2 edge

>>387306007
No. The Boss isn't in the Saints, so he has no one to look up to to join up

>>387306216
It's literally just fucking singleplayer Battleborn

>>387306216
>Would it help them if added a tranny instead? Kotaku would at least mentioned that in article.
Going by how little advertisement the game has, it would've actually helped them.

>>387306216
Those guns are Xcom as fuck.

>>387306216
Where are these "attractive female characters" you speak of?

>>387306120
The Boss is smart enough to know that Kinzie is valuable. Just because she's giving him attitude costantly doesn't mean he's gonna toss her away

>>387306220
To each their own, I guess. At least you aknwoledge Kinzie's bullshit.

The black chick is a cliche hard-ass gunnery sergeant who got pissed off when she found out the US military had her training soldiers for LEGION (and got dishonorably discharged when she spoke up about it), so her story arc is tracking down and killing everyone she trained.

>Does she get naked?

Those two things aren't even similar. San Andreas had as melodramatic of an story as GTA 4.

however, saints row 3 taught me to never buy one of these games at launch because it'll inevitably end up having 800 DLC packs and if i wait a year or two i'll be able to get the game and all of the DLC for a cheaper price than buying just the base game right now

It's a fucking mobile game art.
The genre is cluttered anyway, all of the games just feel like they want to mimick the popular ones.

I look at >>387295470 and it just makes me think the whole character switching concept is dumb.

They want us to have access to multiple powers and weapons on the fly, but instead of just letting you make your own Agent and pick your weapons and powers we have this system where the powers and weapons are bound to specific characters who you spontaneously switch between in the middle of a fight?

It's like a really bizarre, ham-fisted way of trying to cash in on the hero shooter fad.

That would be perfect.

>>387308285
Far as can be said, its an offline MMO with a ton of quests where you are locked in someplace and wreck shit.

It has a fair bit of content if you do everything, but there are no activities beyond unlocking the characters and I suppose doing their quests on top of the story.
Check youtube for gameplay. There ares some people who posted some, though you have to mute them not to deal with the obnoxious commentary.

>>387308261
Not sure its worth it to have Aisha and Carlos live. Their deaths define a good deal of the story.

Who the fuck even want new SR. 4 was hot pile of shit and Shat out of hell is even worse and 3 is dumpster fire.

>>387308516
I doubt its going to play out the same way if it does get remade, The Boss is going to make some alterations in his favor,

Doesn't mean there wont be unexpected consequences, Like someone else dying or Carlos betraying the saints and forming a new gang.

>>387308645
That's is just another can of worm. I mean, I enjoy SR3 and 4 for what they are - mindless fun - and I ought to replay 2 through 4 at some point.
But I doubt they can write a decent story nowadays. And changing things but adding consequences seems risky.

I'd rather have the zany gameplay with a good story than a remake in any case. Even an interquel between 3 and 4 or 2 and 3 might be more interesting.

You know, while I think the Boss has all the rights in the world to kill Julius, it's kinda Frankensteinesque, with him as the doctor and Playa as the creature:
>he saves your ass and makes you enter the Saints, thus beginning a new life, like the doctore making the creature
>he tries to kill you when he sees that you can't be controlled and has become some kind of monster
>you survive and kill him in return

Played it for about 90 mins, and then requested a refund after unlocking the archer bitch and feeling how bad the combat felt. the auto aim is really awful, and you can be way off with a shot and it'll still register a headshot. no.

>>387308873
that seems decent for a game with not much advertising

>>387309392
I believe you mean Frankensteinesque's monster.

>>387309374
What would be the starting point though?
SR4 has the earth destroyed and even if you follow after the earth restoration of Gat Out of Hell, the Saints are in a domineering position.
Any way you choose , there lies some kind of reboot.

>>387294235
And Freespace.

>>387309573
Agents of Mayhem follows the reboot universe, The Saints would be starting from absolutely nothing again, Probably with only the Boss who will attempt to recruit his old friends.

>>387309573
Saints Row 2 -> Red Faction -> Freespace is canon, possibly Blue Planet too

I wish you'd have all 3 allies on screen at once instead of doing the switcharoo thing

>>387298327
SR2 Boss was the perfect blend of funny, cool and outright fucking psychotic. Trying to make them more of a 'hero' was the beginning of the end for the franchise.

>>387293105
>SR2
>it struck a good balance between seriousness and wacky humor
That is true for everyone who isn't the boss. Boss in SR2 was a fucking monster from start to finish, far worse than all the gang leaders he fought combined.

>>387309635
Well I have nothing against Gat as a cop and some kind of friendly enemy. Or a completely different setup.
But that's still a setback and won't deal with any loose ends.
>>387309637
Not sure you can transition from one to the other. Unless you go with the suitable planet ending that you have to conquer. Except you now have a fleet.
