Regretting is an insult to oneself
Buglord
So last time Kinzie Kensington (or maybe Johnny Gat) beat up Satan and as a favor God let us recreate the world after a space alien named Zinyak had destroyed it, which left us with Johnny Gat as a cop about to interrogate a woman named Brimstone.
Oh, spoilers by the way.

Agents of Mayhem (Multinational AgencY Hunting Evil Masterminds (acronyms are hard)) is the continuation of this story. Founded by Persephone Brimstone and funded by Ultor the Agents fight against the super-villain organization L.E.G.I.O.N. (League of Evil Gentlemen Intent on Obliterating Nations) to stop them from... obliterating nations I suppose. It's an open-world third-person action-adventure game set in futuristic Seoul, South Korea and heavily inspired by 80's action like G.I. Joe.

I actually think this will exceed the meager expectation set against it, even if the embargo is a "day of" shitfest.

this is like crack to some people, I mean people subsisted off the soup bones that Destiny threw at people till there was no marrow left to suck on. I do hope there's no grind because one thing I hated about Just Cause 3 was how it advertised all this cool poo poo but gated it all behind minigames, none of which were any fun

this. grinding is great if you can make it work with the narative/make it fun. like shadow of mordor is great with grinding. make it feel like you are doing poo poo or causing damage and grinding becomes a drug.

I will give the game this much: it has convinced me that I need to get off my rear end and actually play Gat Out of Hell. It opens with Johnny Gat shooting a Ouija board that pissed him off.


I hope this game can nail the same type of stupid humor.

My guess is that it's due to the team up specials.

Volition hasn't ruled out adding co-op later but yeah the game feels like it would've worked well with it.

I can't see how that's relevant for people who don't plan to pirate the game. All the tales about Denuvo killing hard disks have been discredited.

Yeah, totally irrelevant, which is why I don't need it in my game. I didn't even know it killed hard disks too.

You must be trolling.

It does nothing to hard disks/hardware. There's so much fearmongering and lies around Denuvo by the piracy crowd.

Like the only valid annoyance with it is a second online check and you have that with Steam anyways.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to wait and see if they remove Denuvo, it's mostly being used to prevent day one releases anyways.

The poster above said that the stories were false. Like they actually did lab tests that showed Denuvo isn't capable of killing a hard drive in the way people claimed.

EDIT: More power to you if you want to make a stand and see if they remove it in the future.

You can see why "and it totally doesn't kill your hard drive!" does not inspire me with confidence when previously any idea of it killing my hard drive was not part of the discussion, right? And yeah, I am going to get a refund, and re-buy it in the future. Hopefully they advertise when they take it out, because it took a fan saying it about Hitman to actually let me know it was time to buy that.

This looks neat but how close is the humor to SR? I might get flack for this but I never found SR to be funny -- it just seemed like it tried way too hard.
