10 Video Games That Were Outdated Before They Launched

4. Agents Of Mayhem

The epitome of everything wrong with MMORPG components being bolted onto genres they rarely belong in, Agents of Mayhem was a corporate bland-fest that committed every gaming sin imaginable.

Grinding out loot to make numbers go up? Check. Overly peppy, "That.was.AWESOME!"-style scriptwriting for the masses? Check. An uber repetitive combat model that elongates and bloats any sense of progression? Check.

You'll be grinding to unlock upgrade points, core abilities, skins, weapon schematics and more. Grinding to accrue multiple currencies only to alter everything from meter burn times to the radius of your grenades.

In other words, like Insomniac's Fuse that was focus tested to death by EA, there was no soul, passion or charm here. Only a drawn out set of base mechanics yet again trying to cash in on the Destiny crowd.
