So who else is beta testing APB - Page 2

Beast · 09-16-2010, 10:03 PM

Already?

Rabid Dinosaur · 09-16-2010, 11:02 PM

Did you guys hear that APB is getting closed down?

Jason Ruiz · 09-16-2010, 11:06 PM

WHAT?!?!

Lord Trasher · 09-17-2010, 04:06 AM

10 weeks. Shut down after ten friggin' weeks. That's a hilarious and depressing new record. Even Auto Assault lasted longer.

Jason Ruiz · 09-17-2010, 04:46 AM

APB is the new DAIKATANA.

Don Tickner · 09-17-2010, 05:28 AM

Jesus, this is sad. I mean, I heard it was a pretty bad game, but I didn't think they'd put the future of the company on the table for it.

Don Tickner · 09-17-2010, 05:29 AM

Hahaha, that's fucking gold.

Beast · 09-17-2010, 06:14 PM

Great Update. I mean it wont be shut down for at least 30 days right? That's fucking bullshit though. I'm sure there are tons of people who bought actual gametime that they won't be able to use though. Fuck that company.

EDIT - Not to mention buying the game in the first place and less than three months later finding out you won't be able to play it anymore.

Air Rick · 09-17-2010, 06:52 PM

can't you still play it, but it would be a sort of ghost town?

And playing locally isn't a possibility, huh?

Slime · 09-17-2010, 07:25 PM

Locally - no. The game is based on having 100 people to a server, would make no sense with 15 people.

Can't you still play it - no. You are only able to play on official servers.

The game cost $50 and now you can't play it after 3 months. Also some people payed more than $50 for extra playtime.

Looks like Epic and other companies are looking at buying the rights. Maybe they will use the customization in some way.

NearHi · 09-17-2010, 07:42 PM

Ya know. If they bumped down monthly fees for like... $5 I might try this game again...

Jacob Adams · 09-18-2010, 10:26 PM

evidently EPIC games is grabbing APB so maybe we'll see it again in the future

i hear that the customization was awesome as fuck and all of my friends played it, but if EPIC really did take it then it's probably going to come back super ballinstine.

Slade · 09-18-2010, 10:34 PM

lol at this mess.

This is why I'm glad I decided not to buy game time until my initial 50ish game hours that came with it had expired (which they still haven't), so I haven't wasted any extra money on it.

But yeah, the customisation was fantastic. People have made exact replicas of Darth Maul, the Heavy, and loads of awesome designs. And my mate made a white supremicist called Dacow which nearly got me banned. Good times. I quite liked the game itself, unbalanced as it was, but it's PvP only and that gets very frustrating because I suck often. But I had some good times with this, and some AMAZING lucky kills.
