APB will be this "Play This" as opposed to "The Agency" being a "Don't Play That" |

They had a rule set that really appealed to my guild, the chaos rule set... but its scrapped.. I wonder if they will do a turf wars type of rule set in its place.. the game is begging for that type of competition. Something with more the 4 players in a group fighting over areas of the maps etc. i mean we are going to have at least 34 members playing the game, yet only 4 in a group is kind of blah... |

The Agency might be cool as well, but we'll see since it seems to be going a lot more in the direction of microtransactions. APB, which I got to play briefly in the KttC event currently going on. I highly recommend grabbing a key and playing it if you are even remotely interested in the game. It'll tell you whether or not to take the plunge. Be warned: Time spent customizing your character and in the tutorial counts against the 5 hour maximum "action" time. I blew through my 5 hours in no time. I had a blast doing it too. The match making system is pretty good (better than Global Agenda's at least), though it still seems to rely too much on your "Rating", though I suppose that will even out as people "level" up. Being a "threat 9" and getting 2 or 3 "threat 1" newbies tasked after you is nearly impossible to overcome, as they still have automatic weapons, even if they are the starter weapons. They still hurt. And I was using only 1 step above the newbie weapon, which isn't a huge delta in power (which I like). I received a cool custom truck and a cool custom LMG for rewards for doing well in some of the bigger missions (I don't know which is which, but hey...) sadly, my ranking was/is in the mid 40's, and they require level 75 and 85 to use, which I cannot achieve with 5 minutes left of action time :).... The customization is pretty fun as well, I am up to "Tuner 6" and "Fashionista 5" (car and clothing respectively). I just wish I could drive my pimped truck.... and I wish you could test stuff out in the social district. Sadly, all my designs and stuff are going to be dumped in the giant bit bucket in the sky. /sigh |

Ya they should have really implimented some sort of Turf Mechanic would have made the game more interesting. And I cant belive they scrapped the Chaos rule set,thats just lame. |

I just have to disagree with "this can be played on pcs under $500" claim. I have a quad core 2.2ghz processor, 4 gigs of RAM and a little old 9800gt and the game is practically UNPLAYABLE.. I have about a 12 mb connection so its not lag, it just becomes almost impossible to play....anyone else have that problem? |

'It’s because I think the majority of players care about their own stories more than they care about ours. And while there are certainly other companies out there that disagree with me, and are putting all their eggs in that basket.'
Pretty much a comment on Star Wars the Old Republic that has said that Story has been lacking in MMO's. I wonder which is going to be the more sucessful game and prove if players want story or PvP? |

The game need freedom. Thats it. It need to be like a real sandbox. Dont stop me from killing grey players. I dont want to see anymore grey players. This is what i hated. I had to wait for a mission that involved only 4 teamates and 4 enemies. Nothing different then a game of red vs blue. I want to raid criminal's crack house with my clan. I want to raid police stations with my clan. What i think is, APB developers should take a look at the 1st the god father the game. The way you could take bizness and get paid every weeks, the way you could take over banks and steal plenty of money while the cops would wait for you outside.. Anyway, i hope they will deliver all that for release. Also, they should fix the chat system. Bubble chat, text flauting over players head is what we need for a perfect communication. Seriously, they should get reed of players in grey. Period. This game should be FFA with penalities. For example, if i am a police and decide to kill an other police, i become a criminal for my bad action. C:\Users\FF\Desktop\spin move.gif |

Pure pvp games have struggled. I don't see this game being anything different. It will have a small niche audience. I just don't see how they are going to pay for it. |

“I really think this game is as gender neutral as a game has been.” It is about guns and killing people, it was funny to see Moreland try to make out that girls will want to play this as much as guys. He went round in circles - after all sterotypes are not real, but they are real, but it will appeal to both, but maybe men more than women. Lets make sure we get a maximum player base, no one is excluded, ask your grannie, maybe she will want to blow someone away. |

Yeah, that's odd. Either he's blatantly lying, or really that clueless. Just because they add all that customization doesn't change the fact that people need to enjoy the gameplay, too. And the driving-and-shooting action-PvP gameplay is just about as guy oriented as it gets. Sure, there are some girl gamers that like that sort of thing, but I'm sure that even they must know they're the rare exception.
From what I've read, and how they seem to be trying to sell the game, maybe they really do think that the customization, including the music, clothes, car detailing, and all that, is a large part of what the gameplay is about. Except there needs to be some kind of game there, not just customization tools. Is anyone really going to be playing it just for that? When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

So, saying they are "scrapped" is a bit much. No, they won't be in for launch. Yes, they will be coming in some form. |

OMG what an informative interview I'm left happier then ever I love APB, and yes the Freedom of it all is what it's all about.
every other MMO is so restricting, people need to wake the hell up and realize what an awesome game this is and should cherish it, if you guyslet this game fail. can you imagine how long it will take to find another remotley like it with this much freedom and custimization are you kidding me ppl?
Everyone needs to get this game, I have made my pre-order you all should do the same if your a real gamer. |

I didnt have high expectation when I downloaded the beta, BUT GOD DAMN I had a blast. Its rares the games that keep me playing through the night and I barely felt it, the night I mean. Even in world of warcraft when we were running black temple I didnt care enough to stick to the raid all the night long. But that game, wow, so refreshing. People need a solid computer, or at least know some basic about how to make your old machine optimal so all the power is used for the game and nothing else. People tend to have dirty computer, fragmented and desorganised, so even if they have a decent setup, they still cant run shit because they barely know how to keep their stuff in good shape. Best custumization I have seen so far, a lot better than CHAMPIONS online which is quite impressive custumization wise. Driving is perfectly fine, at least for me. After playing GRID on the PC it take a lot more than the driving in APB to make me cringe. Some people lag ingame and latency lag, so of course they cant drive for shit, they have 10 frames per seconds. They can add so much to this game, the CORE is perfectly implimented all they need now is more meaningful objectives, territorry control and more players on the field. About the girl not liking this game, what can I say? I mean, what would make them play this game? What kind of gameplay do they want? They want to be healers? They want to work for the fire departement? The hospital? What would a girl like to do in this kind of game? Thats what I wonder... What make them play SECOND LIFES over this game? Its the pron or what? Because both game are glorified big chat box just like every other MMO... but this one got micros tough, which is aaaaaaawesome. Bleh, you guys can go to hell anyway, I like it, a lot more than the same old point and clic crap that you guys seems to be so nostalgic about. ------------------------------------- Before: developers loved games and made money. Now: developers love money and make games. |
