Agents of Mayhem - Volition's post Saints IP

Do you mean Freedom Force or Freedom Fighters? Fighters seems more in line with AoM mechanically.

@tomchick is there much variation in the missions and how many hours is the storyline expected to take if you have got that far and finished it yet?

Thanks,

Alex.

Freedom Fighters has nothing to do with Age of Mythology. ;)

GMG keys are being sent out today, also I apparently got 3 pre-order dlc keys? I assume one is for GAT, one is for the 6 legal action skins, and the 3rd one is for?

After watching some of Tom’s stream I finally realized what’s interesting about this game. It’s not another Saint’s Row that should have been co-op. It’s a tag team fighting game translated into an open world action game which lets you swap instantly between characters mid-fight and combo their abilities and strengths to suit the situation. To put it another way, it’s like an open world Overwatch where you can swap between Soldier 76, Genji and Roadhog at the touch of a button.

Tom is streaming the game right now.

Don’t forget all the character progression, customization, and interplay! Here’s all the Tomsplaining a person could want:

What's so great about Agents of Mayhem?

There’s as much variation as you’d get in any open-world game. As for how long the storyline takes, I have no idea. I’m guessing as many hours as you’d get in any open-world? :)

Loses all interest in this game. That sounds like so not my thing.

Like a shot of viagra for AoM. Back on board!

I went from having zero interest to having very much. My poor wallet.

Age of Mythology is just a poor man version of Act of Agression.

I still don’t know why I have to buy Agents of Mayhem, but Tom opinion is a strong point for it.

[rhamorim]

So I’m preloading this game now. I hope you’re happy, @tomchick !

[wilykat]

yeah, me too. This better be worth reshuffling my backlog.

[Razgon]

I just pre-ordered on the PS4 - cannot wait! Thanks for bringing this to my attention with your excellent stream, @tomchick

[lordkosc]

Steam Pre-Load is a go!

[Grifman]

Just remember, Tom hated Deus Ex, show this could be the second game he’s badly mistaken about! :)

Only the second? You’re too kind! :)

[wumpus]

Third, after Far Cry 2!

[ImaTarget]

I really hope he isn’t. :) I started Gat out of Hell to pass the time and I feel confident that Agents will be better. The gameplay I have seen indicates a much more polished and focused game.

You’re right, I forgot about Rise of the Tomb Raider :)

That said, you own this forum so I don’t think I should push my luck :)
