Companies get to get away with far too much these days for this not to make my stomach turn, you have companies like digital extremes adding in clauses in theirs which amount to "you're not allowed to take us to court - it must be settled PRIVATELY (with NO repercussions for our actions) " or "let us collect your data, stop using that pesky VPN or we will outright BAN you" And then it actually holds up in some cases purely because you unwittingly accepted the EULA which changes at whim, expecting the company to have any shred of morals You just know LO would up to the same shenanigans if they'd be as successful lol

lol IF THE EULA SAYS THE COMPANY CAN BARGE THROUGH MY DOOR AND BANG MY WIFE THEN SO IT SHALL BE! THEMS THE RULES NOW AFTERALL.. tell me, how does that corporate boot taste?

Get in We're taking the clay putty flintmobile

change your name to something that doesn't immediately identify you as a female and of course change your looks too if you go that route, bonus points if you try to talk like a guy more

Was more relating to how the new " Z" symbolism being more or less their new hammer and sickle has ties with totalitarianism while the confederate flag has roots with american democracy and how reluctant LO seems to be scrubbing the former

LO would be wise to ban it all or none at all, if you're after one politically aligned reference then you should take it's opposing political spectrum stuff down too. It's fair and you just make it look like you want to keep your business apolitical, no one gets mad since no one gets to shove their political allegiance in others faces and instead focus on playing the game.

Buff OPs reaction speed and situational awareness to not forget to use cover

fuggers stole not just the moirai but the textures too cant have shit in san paro

its insane how they've been charging the same 20 bucks for the same gun with comically menial cosmetic changes like chopping off the stock or adding a different one and calling it a day, done on a lunch break basically lol i feel like this should've been a skin option its like buying permission to fold a stock to the side for easier handling in tight spaces but yeah eassyyy mooneeyyy

Eventual game server shut down even more so

Have to respect their decision to refund every game purchase made on steam regardless of hours spent, it was a blunder but they had the decency to own up to it

Put that squib-load, airsoft, embarrassment of a gun back in that closet where it belongs and fight me like a real gamer

no thanks, the last thing we need is a meta forming around stunGL spam and players playing exclusively on the enf side to get top score for jt stuns with regular stabba likely don't count for the same reason because it pays far more

ikr, what's next? they're gonna "reverse engineer" more and make us regret every single one of our built-in mod weapon purchases now? (granted it was never a smart choice to buy one to begin with, but in the case of CSG there was no alternative until now, why buy them at all if they'll keep pulling this shit) fucking hell LO

"wow do you remember when you first tried a game? gamers are so cool hahah we develop games too you know, you should probably thank us.. so anyway swipe your card here.."

remember when Matt used to post on forums regularly? remember how proactive this company was, fresh off of making games for children? then they picked up apb and its like they just aged 20 years in 5.. coughing and wheezing, gray hair and all

you're a godsend i wanted to thank you earlier and i forgot, btw the link is down now you should make a steam guide with this, easy steam point farm

My favorite guns are the loudest ones for that intimidation factor like the CSG I can't think of a gun I hate besides the SBSR, that's it really Just my guess but it seems to resemble the SSG550 series (long barrel) given the similar grooves on the handguard, also if you look closely the lower receiver of the CR762 is the same one on the joker SR15 so it's likely based on the same gun as well, probably the SSG552.

I'm pretty sure the idea there was you start as a nobody, commanded and sent out on missions by also, for the most part - nobodies (but ever so slightly higher up the food chain than you). You haven't gone that far but the contacts you get referred to after each one, get more and more prestigious until eventually you meet with their respective leaders and then after the seasoned veteran superstars of the show. It goes pretty well with the lengthy ranking system which can take a literal year to reach the current max level even with premium on a single character, but yeah it's true that there is some missing lore tidbits here and there that was scrapped a long time ago and is now forgotten in favor of milking this game financially of all its worth.

They could at the very least implement steam workshop and let players make content themselves that they would then integrate having half the work already done for them, think uncustomized "canvas" clothing or weapon reskins, kind of how warframe does it The player makes a skin and the price paid by a consumer of course, being 5-7 bucks gets shared between steam, the game owner and the creator. Incentive for everyone involved suiting their interest.

these are all valid criticisms and not im trying to diverge the discussion from them, merely suggesting that everyone's time could be better spent quite literally anywhere else than caring about this ship that has already sunk criticism when constructive and actually taken in account by the other party is helpful for anyone to improve, if your intent is to just mockingly demean them (which lets be real they kinda deserve it), i wouldn't bother at all so they keep failing thats just me though, look at how well baldur's gate 3 is doing without utilizing any of the business practices(as far as i can tell from a quick glance anyway) that you scorn LO for

i'd hate to pile on the negativity in here so i'll just say i'm thankful for the awful state and progress on this game throughout the years, at least i'm not nearly as addicted to video games anymore and the lack of alternatives for apb was pivotal in me actually doing more productive things in my spare time, i wish you folks the same arigato

who needs apb, just move to chicago

they could and they know many would like that but they instead opt for holding it hostage to use as a tool to compliment sales, its what happens you have nothing else enticing to show for and cant be bothered making anything new

at least run the gun game event for as long as you're trying to milk the player base with the usual recycled yard finds, do you think this sounds enticing enough for one to reinstall and come back for like one day at a very specific SINGULAR set time and day? if the GMs can't stand to moderate this community or subject themselves to interact with it all anymore (and i really cant blame them if so) why not employ someone to build a script so the game launches these events several times throughout the day by itself instead of doing it manually
