Title: Free GTA-like MMO: APB
Post by: Noah on June 17, 2011, 03:51:56 PM
All Points Bulletin was originally created by the creators of the GTA series, but was shut down only 1 month after its release, most likely due to the fact that they released the game in Beta. Back then you had to buy the game and pay an additional monthly fee, so naturally people didn't want to blow their money on an unfinished game, causing the company to go bankrupt. I actually played the game back then and it had about 60% of the features it now has in the Reloaded version, so it didn't surprise me that alot of people couldn't be arsed to play it.
However, after a while the game was bought up by K2 companies, also known as Gamersfirst (For an amazing £1.5 million) They then decided to continue development on the game, allowing beta testers and preparing for release. After about a month of playing as a beta tester I sorta forgot about the game up until the release of APB: Reloaded (18.05.11) which is the "final" release of the game. APB is now free to play and waaay better than it was before, so download it and give it a go!
PS: Stunting is good there too.

APB takes up 1,93gb ram, so you'll be able to run it just fine with 2,5gb free ram. My mate ran the game fine except for some crashes every now and then with his 2gb comp. But yes, 4+ gig ram is definitely recommended for those big turf-wars  :cc_detective:

I beta tested this game and it was really terrible (my opinion) and i know a few others who didnt like it either.
I heard something about when it was released the company who made it couldnt afford to run it or something and you couldnt play it online, apparently they were refunding everyone?. Im guessing its all changed now.

The game is still under heavy development, so only cars for now. They have said they'll implement Boats and air transport however, so I'm guessing bikes in APB aren't too far away.

Wait til you see the stuff I've landed  ;)

All your weapons have a 10-day expiry time, however you can buy the weapons for real cash and they'll stay permanent.

Title: Re: Free GTA-like MMO: APB
Post by: A maid on June 19, 2011, 01:14:29 AM
Stunting in this is pretty possible. You can bump a car just by going at the front with high speed and woosh :lol:

But I'm disappointed in the expiring times of most weapons, I want to keep them forever but like hell I'm willing to pay real cash for a game.

Anyway, game's awesome. But when going on missions some tend to camp and do nasty stuff and my aiming isn't exactly the best while shooting here.

I planed to buy it when it came out last year, but then they said that you would need to pay a monthly fee to play it, so i didn't buy it...

Well, dling it now :3

Am I the only one that thinks APB is boring? I mean seriously the only actual fun thing is to customize your car and character...that's it. The gun play sucks, it's laggy as shit (both the original and reloaded) and the handling blows. If you want a free GTA cops and robbers, download SAMP and join CrazyBob's Cops and Robbers. Tons of shit to do, free and most importantly it's actually fun. http://www.cbcnr.com/ (http://www.cbcnr.com/)

Please elaborate.

and the handling blows.

Post by: AJ Collins on June 19, 2011, 04:33:27 PM
The gun play sucks
The weapons don't feel as if they were Fisher Price toys instead of actual weapons. Not to mention the sound and animations just blow on them. Don't get me started about the hitboxes.

it's laggy as shit
It is. Have you seen the forums for it? Both in the RTW beta and the Reloaded beta one of the most things complained about it lag and stuttering. This is despite the fact that the server I was playing on is near me. Apparently it's been fixed somewhat in the open beta according to change logs but I'm done giving chances. And no, it's not my computer either. It can handle Crysis, GTAIV, [insert any other demanding game here], etc. just fine. Yet APB lags even though it looks worse.

and the handling blows.
Another thing that has been beaten to death in both betas and in the final. The handling is bouncy, sluggish and just plain shit.

If you want a free GTA cops and robbers, download SAMP and join CrazyBob's Cops and Robbers.
I'd say at least 95% of the people on this forum have San Andreas. If not, a one time "fee" of $10 isn't much and you don't have to buy weapons and extras with real money later on.

Look, I've tried to give APB a chance twice and I really wanted it to succeed if only for the sake of RTW and David Jones. The idea has real potential but both owners (RTW and now GF) fail to realize that the core mechanics need to be fixed before throwing it onto the market. RTW management completely ignored everyone who said the core mechanics were shit. After they went under a number of developers came out and said they wanted to fix it but management said it would be fine the way it is.

With my 8gb RAM, I was going to download this. But after Laketown & Aj's review on the game, I think I'll stick to
Crazy Bobs C's & R's. It's much more fun drifting around in a banshee & teasing the cops on CB's than it would be
lagging & piss farting around on a game that has crap reviews.. besides, who would pay money on a shit game?

Post by: miLKy on June 20, 2011, 12:17:14 AM
Got some questions to you Noah, or others that got experience in the game.

1. Am I always able to spawn a bought car in those spawn areas, even if I destroyed it?

2. Where the fuck can I buy clothes, make tattoos and stuff?

3. Where do I see what I need to unlock new stuff like weapons? I only see a lock on them, but no information...

4. Is that bad reputation or how it's called actually good or bad?

5. Is there any Level information? Like, what you unlock on a level...
Title: Re: Free GTA-like MMO: APB
Post by: Beat on June 20, 2011, 12:55:10 AM
1. Yes

2. In the Social District: APB Reloaded: GUIDE - How do I change my clothes? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXb74Fn78lI#)

3. Move your cursor over the lock and it'll tell you what you need to unlock it.

4. I don't even get that question..

5. Same as No 3. it'll tell you the level needed with a certain contact. You have different levels with each contact so you have to check each one individually.

And to my fourth question, i meant that bad reputation level that you get when you do something bad. Is it negative or positive to get on a higher level?
Title: Re: Free GTA-like MMO: APB
Post by: Beat on June 20, 2011, 01:42:11 AM
You mean when you kill pedestrians/steal cars and such?

If so, no that doesn't affect your level, its just happens as long as you're alive and gets reset when you die, but if you reach level 5 notoriety, a bounty will be placed on you and and everyone will hunt you down :P

^ Twas a good time  :happy:


And to my fourth question, i meant that bad reputation level that you get when you do something bad. Is it negative or positive to get on a higher level?
The higher your Notoriety is, the better are the rewards you receive for completing missions. However, the higher your Notoriety is, the more likely back-up is to be called against you. And as SkilZ mentioned, at the maximum level of P/N (prestige/notoriety) you'll get a bounty on your head, meaning everyone can attack you.


<text>
IMO the guns are fine, and so are the animations/audio effects. Doesn't have to be super-realistic to be a fun game.
As for the lag, can you imagine what it would take to run APB completely lag-free for everyone playing? This isn't like SAMP, it's an 3rd person shooter MMO. Besides, it doesn't lag all the time, only on occasion.
Moving on to the handlings.. Maybe the reason they're sluggish is due to your lag? I don't know how bad your lag is, but the steering becomes very difficult if say, I'm downloading something. Otherwise though, it's fine. And also, every car has its own handlings, have you tried all the different vehicles?

I think much of what we're discussing here is simply down to personal preference. It's cool that you don't like the game and all, and it has its weaknesses, but the things you listed have not interfered with my personal enjoyment of the game, so I can't help but to disagree with you.  :P
