A brief history: This was was releasd in Japan in july 2012. The reason why it sold so bad is because SEGA published this game for rest of the world only in january 2013, a literal mounth before metal gear rising (february 2013)
Anarchy Reigns flopped because while the demo created a not-inconsiderable amount of hype, Sega sat on the completed, localised game until all interest faded, for no recognisable reason.
As Bayo became playable, it became a Bayonetta game, and I just realized it's been 2 and a half years since Bayonetta 3 was announced and nothing, that's a damn shame!
Dude, I'm always amazed at how you consistently upload quality content...how do you do it?! Also, what I respect about you is you never seem like you are losing your steam, begging for subscribers, or blaming RUclips for demonetization-related stuff...you are always having fun! Please keep it up, you rock!
I remember seeing this game for the first time when you released the brawl, went out and bought it right after just to see if it was as hype as it looked and I can safely say I wasn't disappointed.
SEGA brought Bayonetta and Vanquish to Steam, but I feel like this game could've gained a surprising resurgence in popularity if they had the balls to re-release it on PC, too. This kind of game hasn't been around much since the days of the Dreamcast. Spawn: In the Demon's Hand and Heavy Metal Geomatrix are still immensely fun.
I actually still bust this game out sometimes and I become that time Woolie tried showing people vanquish and it took too long to show how amazing it is to a crowd and people left the room. Death Ball is super fun and man I miss when the game had actual people online.
Platinum should put this up on a Kickstarter for the HD treatment but also ban Bayonetta from online matches. Update: After watching this, I forgot Sega has partial rights to the Mad World characters so that might be tricky.
A platinum all-stars game would be so sick. The only problem would be getting all the licenses to make it possible... but imagine if it COULD happen?! It could have Raiden, Blade Wolf, Jetstream Sam, 2B, A2, Bayo, Wonder Red, Jack, Leo + the rest of Anarchy Reigns, Akira Howard, Sam Gideon, that's already a full roster! Then imagine all of them in a revised and polished version of Anarchy Reigns's gameplay and you get a man's wet dream!
Just picked this up today and goddamn, this game is fun as hell. I expected this to be just another Gears of War clone. It was not and I was pleasantly surprised by it
I have another game suggestion if ever you see this, might interest people. FAIRYTALE FIGHTS (xbox 360) Think Happy Tree Friends/ cutesy OTT violence, brawling game set in classic fairytale environments. Thanks for the enjoyable content.
I grew up playing Mad World on the Wii and it's so weird for me to see this game which is technically a sequel using an art style that isn't black and white cel-shading like Sin City. I need to see that movie by the way.
I remember importing this game to get it early cuz the us release date was pushed back by line a year this game was so fun and was totally a lost gem of the 360 era that Deserves another look at re release this and I’d buy it day one do bullshit such a fun game with really fun online as well
You're really playing the games I wish was more of lately. First Time Splitters, now this. I LOVE Anarchy Reigns. Had some dope multiplayer back in the day but unfortunately it was kinda dead online...
Fucking love this game, it's extremely hype as fuck, every character is dope as hell. Blacker Baron and Oinkie are really fun and so is Douglas, fuck this game is good, especially multiplayer.
I actually bought BOTH Madworld and Anarchy Reigns OSTs off Amazon, and I jam out to those fuckers frequently. I really wish I could find more work by some of the artists. Also: good god this game is just pornographic with its level of style.
This game is just drippin with swag, but I just wish the open areas had something to do and the point system was more like Mad world so it wasnt boring mowing your way through crowds of the same jobbers over and over.
I really really hoped bleeding edge from nina theory would be something similar to anarchy reigns, but we got some moba shlop. Also this game has perhaps the best ost of all brawlers ever.
This one hurts me the most of the P+/Sega (mostly sega) inability to market their shit. I remember seeing nothing about this game. Luckily the online community still exists but is small and schedule Battle Royals regularly
This game probably would had been x10 better as well if Gene was in the game, Looking at the environments and all the wacky shit just made my brain go "WHAT IF GOD HAND WAS IN THIS THOUGH"
love this game- dig the character designs. Someone should tell Matt about how broken the online was & what happened on the anniversary- can't remember the details.
This one of my favorite games of all time and I agree I would like this to be rereleased. Though they would have to fix the online there are some serious problems. Like natural infinites and twitch canceling to name a few.
Anarchy Reigns is one of my favorite games from the last decade.The character designs, the music, the gameplay are fucking awesome. It's only flaws are its online and unbalanced perks. Since Sega owns the rights to this IP, I wouldn't mind a spiritual successor to a spiritual successor. Just call it Mad Anarchy or sumthin.
Why are the character icons floating on top of the character model, on the select screen, when there is all that empty space on the right side of the screen? Who designed that, and who okayed it?
I still hop on this game from time to time. Durga and Oinkie are my favorite characters. I don't think it would have helped with the sales but my biggest problem was that every character played so similarly. I got in long after the multiplayer was dead, but the few matches I got were filled with grab spam. Was there any high-level tech or mechanics I missed out on?
I’m torn on the title “Anarchy Reigns”. On one hand, as an anarchist, I must say that anarchy doesn’t mean what this game thinks it means, but on the other the irony of the title “Anarchy Reigns” is fuckin’ hilarious.
If anyone wants help finding matches and whatnot, feel free to join the Anarchy Reigns discord. Link is here -> discord.gg/9HWJeK3 Great video btw, here's hoping Sega will have the cojones to re-release this game on modern consoles or just Steam. They re-released the other two Platinum games so what's the hold up?
I think Platinum made this game a generation or two too early.
I need a remaster or a 2nd one. Like ASAP
@@tyronemincy4831In his video what happened they said they're not interested in they said they're not interested in making a sequel sadly
I will never stop loving this game, this music, and how blacker this baron has gotten.
If they make a sequel his new allias will be Blackest Baron
A brief history: This was was releasd in Japan in july 2012. The reason why it sold so bad is because SEGA published this game for rest of the world only in january 2013, a literal mounth before metal gear rising (february 2013)
The Japanese version even had the complete English text and voices in the game, but Sega delayed the game for no reason.
It also received next to 0 advertising in the states.
It also came out for only 30 dollars, meaning most people saw it as some kind of bargain game.
@@zandobando2064 That shit always pisses me off. "X is more affordable so it must be trash."
The soundtrack in this game is freaking amazing
K-k-k-Kill'em All
It's been added to my spotify 🤯
Anarchy Reigns flopped because while the demo created a not-inconsiderable amount of hype, Sega sat on the completed, localised game until all interest faded, for no recognisable reason.
Also it needed local coop.
@@m.jordan5181 so comp losers
Madworld and Anarchy Reigns are madly underrated.
As Bayo became playable, it became a Bayonetta game, and I just realized it's been 2 and a half years since Bayonetta 3 was announced and nothing, that's a damn shame!
Little bit late, but... Surprise!

I wish they Remastered Anarchy Reigns/ Max Anarchy XD

This kind of game hasn't been around much since the days of the Dreamcast. Spawn: In the Demon's Hand and Heavy Metal Geomatrix are still immensely fun.
I bought this game because of the hype you originally gave it back in the day.
So worth it.
I love the OST, it fuckin' rules.
I actually still bust this game out sometimes and I become that time Woolie tried showing people vanquish and it took too long to show how amazing it is to a crowd and people left the room. Death Ball is super fun and man I miss when the game had actual people online.
i bought this game back in the day and it's still the only game I've 100%'d. and even still I'd buy it again in a heartbeat
I knew it was only a matter of time until we get to Max Anarchy Reigns! The HYPEST failure around!
Platinum 3-Stars.
Seriously though this game was released before its time.
Platinum should put this up on a Kickstarter for the HD treatment but also ban Bayonetta from online matches.
Update: After watching this, I forgot Sega has partial rights to the Mad World characters so that might be tricky.
Delete your account Bayo Hater.
This character designs are insane
Man I wish they remastered this for PS4/XBO. Also wish they added Raiden as a guest character with Bayou since Platinum made MGR.
A platinum all-stars game would be so sick. The only problem would be getting all the licenses to make it possible... but imagine if it COULD happen?! It could have Raiden, Blade Wolf, Jetstream Sam, 2B, A2, Bayo, Wonder Red, Jack, Leo + the rest of Anarchy Reigns, Akira Howard, Sam Gideon, that's already a full roster!

One thing you didn't show off: The menu has all the characters interacting in the bar, and I think they have animations when sleecitng them, too.
I have another game suggestion if ever you see this, might interest people.
FAIRYTALE FIGHTS (xbox 360)
Think Happy Tree Friends/ cutesy OTT violence, brawling game set in classic fairytale environments.
Thanks for the enjoyable content.
I wish this game was still around nowadays. Played it back in my 360 days and have loved it ever since. It's a solid game all-around.
The soundtrack of this game makes me want to beat up everyone in sight, AND I LOVE IT
Fun game, killer ost, would love a remaster!
Wow, this looks amazing. I never saw anything about this game.
I grew up playing Mad World on the Wii and it's so weird for me to see this game which is technically a sequel using an art style that isn't black and white cel-shading like Sin City. I need to see that movie by the way.
i don't know how much longer i have to beg for this to come to PC....
but i ain't EVER gonna stop
I actually used to love this game. I played the online all the time. I was a Garuda main, and man was he busted :P
Man I totally slept on this game, it looks fucking fun.
I thought Matt would fight Cthulhu, because of course he would, but he didn't and now I want to pop this game up and fight him myself
If they ReRelease the game they could possibly add more Characters which would be interesting
Where da ports at?
I remember importing this game to get it early cuz the us release date was pushed back by line a year this game was so fun and was totally a lost gem of the 360 era that Deserves another look at re release this and I’d buy it day one do bullshit such a fun game with really fun online as well
My all time favorite game, along with Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Streets Of Rage 2. Oinkie's my main, while Leo and Big Bull are my secondaries.
I haven't even played this, but I've listened to the soundtrack to death. The combination of Drum and Bass and hip hop just works for video games
I LOVE the music in Anarchy Reigns.
let's just make a Platinum vs Capcom game
You're really playing the games I wish was more of lately. First Time Splitters, now this. I LOVE Anarchy Reigns. Had some dope multiplayer back in the day but unfortunately it was kinda dead online...
That tootsie pop edit was amazing! xD

Yes we are the few who want to keep this game alive in our hearts
This game probably would had been x10 better as well if Gene was in the game, Looking at the environments and all the wacky shit just made my brain go "WHAT IF GOD HAND WAS IN THIS THOUGH"
To bad all their previous games are still owned by capcom.
I was wholly expecting to see some kind of legally-distinct version of Gene. My disappointment is palpable.
@@hannibalcase1100 yeah they did it with wonderful 101 so why not here as well.
Max's black outfit IS Gene's
@@blaacksugar7714 Fuck, you're right! Does he play like Gene did?
Maaaaaan whhhhhyyyy did this flop. This looks amazing. I would happily pay a full $60 for a full remaster of this
M. Jordan easy scrap the multiplayer and make it fully single player lol.
love this game- dig the character designs. Someone should tell Matt about how broken the online was & what happened on the anniversary- can't remember the details.
I do love those ol' Pepperidge Farm turret sequences.
man looking back at this now, this game is freaking fun!
The soundtrack for this game is so good
I personally loved this game. Mainly because of Death Ball or w/e. Was a lot of fun to play online.
Love this game soooo damn much. Durga will always be my main~
One of the five actually good arena fighters lol
Best dropkick in the business? Man platinum really went all out, even Okada is in the game, dam
This is basically Mad World 2 and I loved it! It’s still great fun nowadays.
@@m.jordan5181 I have and played both a lot and that's just my humble and informed opinion.
Triple k.o should play this with yo videogames
Awesome video was waiting for this 1 couldn’t agree with you more with a release on modern consoles but the true remastered game I want is Madworld
Whenever I saw Leo, it reminded me of a certain rising superstar
Great 3d beat'em up, kept my copy for sure. Still have to unlock one character, may be Garuda...
I loved this game. Baron was my favorite

I'm sorry, I think I missed the part where Bayonetta was in a fighting game BEFORE SMASH! When did this happen?
Also is this master piece still in stores or is it only on Xbox 360
@@sozettaslooow I bought it on psn recently, so no?
@@Sophie_the_Sapphic thanks for the tip. It's now on my wishlist
@@sozettaslooow What did you think??
This game brings back so many memories.
Why are the character icons floating on top of the character model, on the select screen, when there is all that empty space on the right side of the screen? Who designed that, and who okayed it?
This is one game that needs a sequel sooner than later.

I can still hear Woolie’s salt, it echoes. Even through time
Can we start a campaign to bring back this game, #anarchyreingsremastered C'mon guys
This game shoulda done better. Its stupid fun and the music.
Release it on switch and/or pc I would buy both
This game would have sold much better if it released in 2000 on the Dreamcast.
would any recommend me to get this game . I am really bored due to my hometown being lockdown
I miss this game so fucking much
16:24 lol made my day👍👍
Dude, if there was a game like this with characters based on the designs of Bayonetta weapons, that would be pretty sick.
Yeah, I think Durga is a reference to Bayonetta's wepaon of the same name.
Most likely.
Philistine?!?! Reaper, Reaper, that's what people call me!!!!!
Douglas mains rise up
This game is the hypest!!!
Man I love this game. It's such a shame it didn't sell.
Picks Leo: R U L E S O F N A T U R E

Great video btw, here's hoping Sega will have the cojones to re-release this game on modern consoles or just Steam.
They re-released the other two Platinum games so what's the hold up?
All mighty Matt, is This game recommended for gamer with a low budget job and an Xbox with a lot of space?
The game is cheap online and doesn't take up much space at all. The DLCs are also only a couple bucks each. Definitely get it if you haven't already!
Are they making this game to one x?
No
Im honestly still loving this game. I never understood why it got no attention. And yeah, this game needs a pc port yesterday.
woulda been funny if Jack was still black and white and the other characters were still in color
happy 11th aniversarry madworld you were an awesome game ik this is anarchy reingns but its related so shush
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH MAYBE MY VOICE WAS HEARD. Thank you 😁
Imagine if Raiden was the other DLC character
Holy shit I remember this game. My friend and I had a lot of fun with it until online was nothing but bullshit Bayonetta.
Try dark void
Jack Cayman needs a return.
Yes!
Who tryna party up and play?
Me
I've played this for soo long like 4 years I wanted to compete to strong op players but guess I cant ;< bc I'm kinds a noob now
Sure, just drop a Bizkit reference in there. You do you.
Am I the only person who has never heard of this game damn!
