>There’s significant interest and engagement from the community, with the Steam Charts showing that the game peaked at 95,863 users playing consecutively and now averages around 25,000 players a day since its release.
>This is quite bizarre given that even during the very busy late summer, early fall rush of AAA games, Giant Bomb had time to review Volition Software’s uninspired Agents of Mayhem on August 22nd, 2017.
>What’s the significance of this? Well,The game also only ever peaked at 3,665 players even during its launch, according to Steam Charts.
>Agents of Mayhem sold so poorly that Volition was forced to layoff staff.
>The game also launched in a month that saw the release of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Pillars of Eternity and Sonic Mania just to name a few.
>Giant Bomb prioritized an absolute sales dud during a month with major releases back in August of 2017, but had no interest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance even though the only notable new games to come out in February has been Dynasty Warriors 9, EA Sports UFC 3, Shadow of the Colossus Remake and Metal Gear Survive. Most of everything else is either an indie game, a mid-budget title, or a re-release.
lol who cares about reviewers. Don't cover it then. Meanwhile some popular youtuber or streamer will play it and people will buy it.
Fuck reviews.
Brody Carter
who the fuck cares what some shitty review site? Gaming Journalism is dying(and that is a good thing)

after the persona 4 endurance giant bomb slowly became worse. Today is borderline no different than kotaku or polygon in terms of sjw crap.

Thanks female Patrick

Just gotta wait a few more years for the whole extreme SJW phase to pass. Extremes will generally swing the other way after some time has passed.
Evan Moore
Anybody who comes to Giant Bomb for anything other than the mildly entertaining banter from time to time is an idiot. Their opinions are shit. Their tastes are shit. Their formats are shit. Theit discussion culture is shit. Giant Bomb is a scheme for Gerstmann to save up for a comfy retirement with minimal effort. Anything that was ever good about this shitfest of a website died when Ryan Davis' heart exploded because he couldn't stop being a human trashcan for even a minute.
Landon Harris
if your stupid generation had just kept buying magazines you realize we'd still have respectable journalists.
Levi Peterson
Fuck game 'journalism'. Their opinions don't matter anyways. Personally I think the game is pretty good, it does have some bugs that shouldn't be there, but it can be overlooked. For me it really scratched that time period itch because I've been waiting so fucking long for Bannerlord.
Robert Ross
>still reading "reviews" from gaming "journalists" in 2018
Zachary Turner
Kcd scratches the exact itch that The Witcher 1 did so many years ago. Bugs don't matter to me when games do that.
Sebastian Stewart
>Everything's a fucking political statement these days I just want to play fucking vidya, sometimes feels like I'm one of the few people left who play games because I like them, instead of as a vain form self-expression.
Jayden Ramirez
the game lost me when doing the most simple thing - talking, requires massive loading, which you will do a lot of talking in this game. why is it okay to make fun of sonic06 but not this?
Cooper Adams
This is the first time I've heard about Agents of Mayhem from even before the release
Robert Bailey
>people are still asshurt over something that happened 3 and a half years ago wasnt a big fan of the doxxing but just running amuck and shitting up everything was a blast
Jacob Lewis
What's going on with KCD is laughably petty, but oneagrygamer is just as bad as sites like kotaku and polygon, just from the opposite end of the spectrum.
They do clickbait and moral outrage, accuse people of being horribly awful people to get other people to boycott them even when it's not true or it's not the whole story, etc. They might have a point here but generally they are just as shit as the SJW sites they bitch about
Henry Peterson
Sounds like the extremes need to be hunted down and destroyed.
Eli Wilson
Yeah man, because magazines totally weren't shilling shit. Times change.
Isaiah Ortiz
we purged gg from Sup Forums the first time around by slamming the report button and we'll do it the same way again
Caleb Mitchell
Racists who made kingdom come dont deserve free advertisement from giant bomb.
It's a bigger loss for warhorse than Giant Bomb for even keeping their racist employees in the first place, you reap what you sow.
Nathaniel Sanchez
>more e celeb drama god I hate this shitty board so much
Benjamin Green
game journalists aka glorified bloggers who get paid
Joshua Myers
Unless you're a pleb with absolutely no experience with video games ALL opinion pieces are useless in an era when you can look up raw gameplay online and make up your own mind. You don't need someone telling you if you'll enjoy X.
Angel Russell
user all that loading screen is, is just a black screen and waiting until finer textures load in
basically stop playing on a shitty drive and install an ssd, its 2018 and you can get a 250gb ssd for $80~ and it improves your gaming
Isaiah Moore
Yeah, I stopped giving a shit about them after the game of the year discussions. Abby is shit and they cater to her.
Camden Martinez
Anti-gamergaters are basically Sith. "If you're not for Anita and other loudspoken feminists, and you don't actively Tweet your discust every time some troll says something stupid on the internet, you MUST be a terrible human being who revels in terrorizing women and minorities."
Fuck Giant Bomb, they are a shit site anyway and only noteworthy because they managed to not die off when other sites did
Charles Adams
>People refuse to separate the creator's beliefs from the things they create >Even when they don't apply to each other in any way >Instead they cheer and applaud shoving current day policies into every nook and cranny regardless of how it affects the final product
Hudson Adams
You forgot to take your pills,gramps
Ryder Howard
How many death threats have you sent today?
Christopher Rodriguez
You think that's new or limited to video games? It persists even when author gives multiple beliefs and ideologies a fair shake with his works. Some people are just idiots.
Aiden Reyes
>persona 4 endurance
What was that about?
Thomas Sanchez
God I hate anime
Hudson Hughes
The game is an explicit expression of his openly racist beliefs so yeah, I won't support or promote it.
Colton Flores

Oliver Carter
I have a gaming rig from 2013 and this game is on an SSD. Playing on Low (I know) and the loading times aren't that bad but they really shouldn't be there.
That's true but like the other reply said I think it can be overlooked. If they fixed all the bugs its a pretty good game. 80 CAD though? I backed it in 2014 so I think it paid off.
Thomas Allen
God I love anime
Connor Robinson
The conservative alt right are too stupid and uncreative to make games, it wont take much to boycott all their games for pushing their shitty racist sexist ideologies into their games turning them into shit like Hatred and Kingdom come.
Weird, I never noticed a single loading except from loading my save the first time, and I'm pretty sure sleeping and fast travel are hidden loading screens but nothing apart from that.
Juan Robinson
>he says as Sup Forums boycotts games because the devs are SJW cucks Fuck off you disingenuous fuck
Brayden Ross
Does anyone even read/watch giant bomb anyway? Their content is pretty terrible and it's not like the game sold badly or anything anyway.
Jack Myers
yeah spam this shit more, you will get the positive attention you crave
Cameron Reyes
>'games'
Mason Green
Well if Waypoint and Giant Bomb told you so, than it must be true.
Lincoln Ward
Why did 24 year a producer fresh out of college, who worked for GB 6 months at that point, have more airtime in the discussion then every single other member? Why was she allowed to push for her stupid meme games in every category, when they werent relevant at all? Why the fuck dif nobody telle her to shut up after derailing ever single discussion by being an obstinate child? They will never explain this, they lack the spine.
Camden Ramirez
>2018 >Giant bomb still exists
Hudson Cooper
a lot of people are supporting the faggot despite the spamming. It's how far Sup Forums has fallen
Dominic Turner
>no gameplay >Pixel shit
this game will bomb because it'll be shit.
Landon Perez
>Hatred I remember this shit. Leave to politic fags from both sides to make a mountain out of literally nothing.
KCD is fine though.
Luke Miller
>Game has amazing review scores >Decide to try it out >It's okay but not great >Actually read the reviews >Turns out it got 5 billion bonus review points because it starred a black muslim transexual queer protagonist

I let my subscription lapse specifically because of Abby and Ben.

Brandon White

What?
Christian Gutierrez

Pick one, fuckhead.

Two members of Giant Bomb with great chemistry did what was basically a Let's Play of Persona 4 in 2008. Many argue it was the best content they ever produced. I usually put it on the second screen while playing factorio, or any other non-narrative game. I swear its the comfiest part of my week, and definetly more fun than playing P4 alone by yourself. Give it a try user, seroiously.
