Quick Look: APB: All Points Bulletin

I wonder if the devs feel clever for adding cussing in almost every single spanish line so no one realizes what people are saying. It's not.
 
This game is fucking shit.

I was in the beta from last October and everyone was in agreement that the game wasn't ready for prime time. With that said, each month RTW rolled out a new update with sometimes 4GB worth of data that transformed the game a ton. They're already close to releasing the vehicle control and matchmaking revamp but APB is definitely a game that will continue to get better. I think that EA pushed this out of the door before RTW wanted it to. It's too bad this game is getting such a bad rap. They've tried something new and although it's not up to snuff because of the bugs I commend them for their efforts yet something like Crackdown 2 which is basically a mod for Crackdown 1 can still get decent reviews.

So awful... the flip and a half was nice though.

What... how... how does this game work?

 They should've made a Crackdown MMO.

I'd like to play that kind of MMO.

I dont mean to be rude, I own the game for 2 weeks now .. and that quick look and your obvious "meh" attitude, is only because you are "noobs" in the world :-) 

So... would you say this Enforcer character is a...Freelance Police?

Errr....
I get that if you can spawn vehicles they need to be removed, else God forbid you could find a car to get into, but the bit where those two disappeared in the parking garage was frakin hilarious.  I literally watched that five times in a row.  Nicely summed up by Jeff, "sigh."

*yawn*

Floaty boxes, disappearing cars, wonky car doors, a motion-sickness inducing camera, a lifeless world, this game has it all!  Always having to run all the way back to the action is a downer.  As it is today, this game seems to need a lot of work still to make it interesting.  Really, I'd rather play GTA or Saints Row than this. 
 
Ha-ha, Jeff's character is a fire-crotch.

speaking as a former beta tester jeff is correct on what he says about APB, but i don't know what kind of GTA 4 he played but GTA 4 free roam is a million times better then this

Really not cool, you guys do this all the time, you review games that you don't know much about.
 
Your using crappy cars from NPC's that have horrible handling and complaining.
 
Your joining missions with people way higher then you because you don't look at the symbols it shows you and complaining
 
I've never cooked before, cooking's too hard, NO ONE AT ALL SHOULD EVER COOK!
 
This game is amazing.

Blatant GTA rip-off; sucks.

hmmm the quick look made this look bad but the community comments suggest something else..

It seems like they have a ton of great ideas packed in, but just couldn't follow through on most of them. First of all, the payment plan is all wrong. If it had been free to play until the end of time after buying the game in store, I'd be more inclined to try it out. But knowing that there's a payment plan for a game that's not even an MMO seems silly. Especially considering how dead the world seems. 
 
That's my other issue with it. It's just so.. bland. Gray environments, no interactive characters (at least in the quick look?), nothing to make you go "Holy shit!" about. Throw in some trees in there, maybe a neat looking skybox and some lighting effects and this would've looked a hell of a lot better GRAPHICALLY.
 
I can't speak for control as all I've seen from this game is this quick look, but it gives a fairly comprehensive idea of how it plays and so on. But the shooting doesn't seem intense or satisfying enough to make it worth the money you'd pay for it. 
 
I think that if they had waited a little longer and tweaked some things, taken other things back to the drawing board at an early stage, this would  have been a much more exciting product, but as it stands now, it's not something I want to try.

Good quicklook, I really feel like I have an appreciation for how awful this game is now.

GTA:IV free roam is some of the most fun I have had with games.

Jeff I think less of you, that with this premise you did not think of to make Snake Plisskin. 

wow that looks boring and buggy.

really boring

This looks terribly boring.

The mission win sound is like the Capcom start sound from the '90s. I like it.

CrimeCraft? Again?

" CrimeCraft? Again? "

Watching quick looks of shitty games is so great.  Much more entertaining.

Behold! A relic from a game that no longer exists.

And now this MMO is dead! 

R.I.P APB, you had a short but terrible run

I played this for 5 hours when it was live.  Never getting that time back man.

Is this thing coming back? I wonder how it'll change, if at all.

This game has gotten a lot better. APB Reloaded as it is called now still in beta for now but going live in few months with a lot of new content

Less than six years later the Division came out. The difference in world quality is crazy. Makes me look forward to the next gen.
