Maybe that's the problem with this title is that it has no competition. APB doesn't need to improve because there is no worry that their rival is going to beat them to the next innovation. my point was that if apb had to compete directly it would lose, at the end of the day no perfect polished gameplay is going to overcome the 10 year gap apb has with modern games 52 minutes ago, R3ACT3M said: But another thing that should be remembered is that trying to appeal to everyone almost never results in a good game. fair point 52 minutes ago, R3ACT3M said: I personally would love to see health bars in this game. Mainly on yourself because the health hud simply doesn't tell you shit. Someone from 60m away is tickling you with an FBW health hud doesn't change suddenly you get one shot by an NHVR I know there is a little noise that plays when your health is full but damn does it need to be more obvious with all this game's audio issues no health bar is a pretty common mechanic in almost every modern shooter, i figured this would be one of the few things that everyone was okay with iirc way back in an old q&a the old g1 devs said that no health bars was an intentional design choice - in testing with health bars players tended to be a lot more defensive in order to keep their health bar as high as possible, which led to slower gameplay than the devs wanted i'll try to find the video edit: here Edited August 15, 2020 by 404 video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I almost have my first maxed character and I never noticed any That would help maybe have it where if you took major damage the indicator would stay longer and be a more solid color while light damage is more faded and goes away quicker 3 hours ago, 404 said: my point was that if apb had to compete directly it would lose, at the end of the day no perfect polished gameplay is going to overcome the 10 year gap apb has with modern games Well in a way it isn't competing and there are a lot of features APB has that other games don't customization is the biggest. I'm simply loosing hope in APB, I like the game itself, and I just imagine with all the matchmaking fixes they hope to deploy. What will it matter if no one sticks around to play?

Rogue Company is also similar to APB's gunplay but not as polished and smooth feeling... kinda clunky for such a new game. over the years apb's gunplay got dumbed down and they sided with making the guns more RNG/inaccurate over skill/aim based ... i always thought it was their way of trying balance the game around everyone aimbotting (which is stupid af imo).

In 2011 it was ok-ish working on Pentium4s and that gen of dualcores. Then near the end of 2012 throughout 2013 it was unplayable for most of us no matter the specs unless you were in the anus of the servers or a masochist to deal with it and get glorious actual 25-30 fps... Then bearable again in 2014 then probably in mid 2015 again unplayable no matter the settings, where fightclubs only had decent fps. Later in 2017 fixed and till now we can somewhat get normal performance on quads which is a bonus for this game. LO is doing a good job compared to what this project use to be for the passed 12 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KyoukiDotExe 231 Posted August 19, 2020 I've had enough of your shit. Depending which person you talk to you either get a hope response, which is usually positive and they look forward to future and things. Or you get the pessimistic answer which is that they are negative about anything and everything. The latter seems to be much more common but these people still stick around everything, forums or in-game for some weird reason. I guess it depends which type of person you are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a Pair of Socks 126 Posted August 20, 2020 I dont enjoy the game anymore so I just stopped playing. Same with giving a fuck, LO doesnt give a fuck about the opinions of the player they just throw shit at the screen and hope it works. After they buffed the god damn fuck out of shotguns and then ran a sale on them for a long patootie time and only stopped the discount once people stopped buying em Ive really lost hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
