Very few people care about Agents of Mayhem -- we know that by taking one look at the traffic it brings in for this site. It's one of those games that just can't seem to get a foothold no matter how hard it tries, a bit like Battleborn. Now, we don't want Agents of Mayhem to flop -- it could end up being an amazing game for all we know -- but it's marketing such as this that really seems like a nail in the commercial coffin.
Basically, the title's teamed up with adult video site YouPorn in order to promote the release with a seriously unfunny clip. We've embedded the YouTube version above, while the "uncensored" version exists on the aforementioned bastion of carnal desires. No, we're not going to link to it here, but it's essentially the exact same video anyway. Don't go expecting any extra titillation if you do go tracking it down, you dirty git.
Agents of Mayhem launches next month, but will it have any impact whatsoever? We're going to say... Probably not.

The cringe is real.
This game has it even worse than Battleborn. The latter is notorious and has become the butt of a joke, but at least it's still remembered. I don't think this game will share the same fate.
Should've just rebooted the Saints Row franchise, the game looks like it could be fun but like Battleborn it'll cheap as chips a month after release.
Their constant "trying" is getting a bit tedious. First that A-team themed trailer, then the little Knightrider theme cameo and now this...
From what i've seen of the game, it looks like something that will struggle after the initial interest dies off.. I hope not for their sake, but i don't hold much hope.
I learned more about the game reading these comments than watching that video.
Still not convinced by this. I actually prefer the look of Crackdown 3 - so tat says it all really...
shows how far they've fallen since Saints Row 3 does this game, looks absolutely awful from what I've seen - I wouldn't have it given!!
I was actually really looking forward to this game, but all the negative press has me a little worried now. I think I will hold out a few weeks for the inevitable price drop before giving it a go!!
Did they hire the team who did that Mighty No 9 commercial?!
Well, it's in line with some of the promotional material for Saints Row... I guess? Not sure if that's really a great thing though. As long as they aren't actually voice acting in it.
Didn't watch t yet but hey it just depends on what kind of game this will be 👍😀
This was gross.
This trailer has convinced me that I want absolutely nothing to do with anything remotely connected to this game.
Should've rebooted Saints Row and returned to the style of 1 and 2. Those were over the top, but in a fun, goofy way. It just got seriously ridiculous after that, but they could've brought it back around. Haven't been sold on this game since the start.
@Quintumply YES!
I'm still waiting for a full Saints of Rage game.
That's embarrassing!
Congratulations. Now less people want to play it. 👏🏻
Still hoping for saints row 5. (gofh doesnt count)
I'm confused. What's this game about and how is it related to that trashy video?
I don't get it. Is this supposed to be comedic?
I liked the older trailers so i still gonna get it but i agree this trailer does not add anything.
Everything about this game is like it came out of a time capsule buried in 1997.
No Co-op killed the interest of this game for me. The devs are actually brain dead.
What the ever loving chuff was that?
@RedMageLanakyn Considering they're both Deep SIlver? Most likely.
The last few Saints game have had awful promotion yet when it came to Saints Row 3 & 4 as well as Gat Outta Hell I absolutely loved all the random pop references and had a blast. I'm still going to hope that the low brow sense of humor entertains me. Not everything has to be a classic and work of art, sometimes I like to spend 20-25 hours just rolling in the mud with a game. My preorder is paid off and I have not changed my mind yet.
I am going to wait on it and see if it comes on sale or free on ps plus but I am not buying I want a new Saints Row love those games
So much cringe. The only way they could make that video any more cliche would be to have a plumber or pizza delivery person appear.
"Yikes" is about right. Utter tosh.
