    I'm fairly confident in predicting that the next step APB takes will be onto it's own shoe laces before falling flat on it's face.

     

    I don't doubt that Matt had good intentions for the game but I don't think he ever really understood what made it tick,  nearly all the gameplay changes made by LO made the game less appealing to me to the point where I just gave up playing.

     

    I have no hope for the future of this game and see no evidence that LO have learned anything from their numerous mistakes.

     

    Please stop flogging this horse it's already dead.

    I knew things were bad, but holy cow, you can ltterally see from the population drop where they removed threat segregation.

     

    This is just plain embarrassing, everything they try and do just kills the game a little more, it's like a death of a thousand cuts - or more precisely a death of a thousand blunders..

     

    At this point they may aswell try reverting every single change they've ever made to the game, it couldn't be any worse than this.

    why should i as a player who just wants to get on and have a bit of casual fun with my friends be forced to bore myself to death in solo queue match after match after match?

    My point exactly, the people who want to solo and those that want to group are two entirely different demographics, APB used to be able to cater to both, but with the current low population they tend to get shoved into matches together and it's really not satisfying for either side.

     

    Merged.

    We are tryhards cuz we have friends?

    Its a social game.

     

     

    Maybe not you specifically but tryhards in APB have always traditionally gravitated towards joining premade groups.

    You mean the guy who saved the game from being shut down and who keeps the game running to this day?

    Yeah, what a jerk.

    I wouldn't exactly call it saved, it is now an objectively worse experience than it was before, that's not how you save something.

     

    For most folks the game may aswell have been shut down as indicated by the rapidly declining playerbase.

     

    What are LO going to do next ? save the game by selling it to Gamigo ?

    Can't say I'm shocked or even mildly surprised by this turn of events, LO threw up so many red flags during their first few months with this game that it was only a matter of time.

     

    The only thing that really surprises me is that it took LO this long to realise the inevitable, says it all really.

     

    Maybe they shoulda stuck to making Barbie games for 5yr olds .

    If they ever sell it, it should be sold to Epic Games. Isn't the game made using Unreal Engine? Maybe Epic would give it a little extra care...

    Epic would never pay good money for this pile of broken trash.

     

    It'll be sold off cheap and then left in maintenance mode to milk the last little bit of cash from the playerbase before being shut down once and for all, this is why I said Gamigo because this is exactly the sort of thing they do.

    The first G1 team working on the game was fine.After the Tiggs team took over the things start goin downhill especially when they decide to bring the game also to consoles and not only focusing on the PC upgrade..for me that was the turning point when the game sink 4 ever

    Yeah the console ports were a big mistake, I knew it was gonna be bad when they announced that Deep Silver would be the publisher.

     

    The thing is I think APB was already in a state of decline by then, the console port was a last desperate attempt to try and keep the game relevant.

    banning people = lower pop = game dying.

     

    So no, LO will not ban cheaters.

    That's some insane logic.

     

    By not banning cheaters they drive away any legit players that might give the game a try, meaning the active player base will only dwindle over time until there are only cheaters left.

     

    Maybe they should give everyone a wall hack and aimbot to level the playing field.... 😛

    is 3.5..since may 2018 and probably will take another 3.5 to be finished(the engine)

    Damn, you're right , 3.5 years with virtually nothing to show for it, that's just depressing.

    I swear it's like you guys WANT him to give up. 

     

     

     At this point I really don't think it matters if he gives up or not.

     

    For what it's worth I'd really like to see this game make a comeback considering the amount of money I've spent on it over the years, I just don't see LO making that happen.

    Sad to say this but given the amount of progress we've seen over the last 2.5 years since LO took over it's not looking good, all they've managed to achieve during this time is to get the assets to load into the editor, they've also managed to release a failed game mode and break weapons balance.

     

    Not exactly what I'd call a resounding success by any metric, a lot of people seem mesmerised by the fact that Matt Scott posts updates, however I say judge a man not by his words but by his actions, with this in mind LO have been an utter failure, why any of you still have faith in this company is a mystery to me.

     

    Matt isn't keeping this game alive purely from the goodness of his heart, he's doing it because he knows if this fails he'll be off to McD's to flip burgers.

    Yeah, but it's mostly deathmatching. GTA:O is one of the biggest missfires ever released by a game dev. Basically nobody plays this game the way its intended on public lobbies, and those that do ( like myself ) find sneaky tricks to keep the unpleasants out.

    How can it be a misfire if it has a ton of players and makes the devs fat stacks of cash ?

     

    It may not be played in the intended manner, but who really cares about that ?
