Gat is taking over!
Shits about to hit the fan.....

Thats really a shame. I get they wanted to do something new and I don't dislike Agents of Mayhem. But they should have done another Saints Row game first. Or they should have put Saints Row in the title of Agents of Mayhem. That would have ensured sales for the game was much better. I hope the core team stays in place and these talented developers can make the next Saints Row. They are a great team.

That’s too bad
I’m still playing AoM
I thought it was pretty damn good
Hopefully we’ll see a SR5 soon

jokerisalive2405d ago

Yeah I'm loving AOM and using Johhny Gat a lot in it. So much like Crackdown imo.

blackblades2405d ago

Wonder what they can do with sr5, a reboot or just go with them going through time.

I dont think they get that theres an appetite for open world classic gangster games outside of GTA.

The mob be street or organized storylines go hand in hand with open world games, theres no need for all this over the top crap, to makea game engaging. Sometimes less is better.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2405d ago

This is typical in the industry after a game is complete. Nothing to see here. I did buy AoM and love it so I support the studio.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo2d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows902d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19891d 16h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha2d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno2d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan2d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno2d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19812d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6691d 16h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19811d 11h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Inverno2d ago

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Cacabunga2d ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator2d ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac2d ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
