APB - The Plot Thickens

[SolidBrim]

It makes me angry when games that normally would have had a great chance in the industry go belly up due to poor business decisions. APB is, quite frankly, going the direction of Tabula Rasa... At least Tabula Rasa lasted a lot longer.

Wow, its truly amazing that that game would have cost over 100 million to make. I like how he said the realization came when they all felt this game really didnt offer anything different then ones that were already out.

horrible lol, and my god 100m really, 7 years too for development for what i saw in that game, thats just crazy

To be honest, it almost looks like they had a lot more planned for it, but similar to DArkfall, it's sometimes too long and you just need to release to catch up on the debt.

its kind of depressing cause i was hoping to hang my hat on this.

but now its starting to feel like modern warfare 2 where the developers and publishers just fell out and the games the one that suffered.

The latest patch was received well in game, from what I hear. They fixed a lot of gaming mechanics that people were complaining about. It is rumored that they need to sell the game within five weeks to cover their server/bandwidth costs. This isn't a lot of time and many of the players are skeptical that they will make this deadline. That is the reason that many, myself included, just can't push ourself to play the game until a decision is made. Why waste the time.

You make me sadface when you mention Tabula Rasa....God I loved that game!! Especially towards the end when they changed crafting and what not. My favorite game to craft in by far. Loved my clan of ten people...10 people taking on 30 was fun....
