Haters gonna hate. Really, APB wasnt that bad, there was just a huge gap between what was promoted (free for all battles between cops and robbers) and the reality (juddery graphics, repetitive missions, huge hitboxes, no real character development). This might have been an ok game if the mp had been free but there was no way anyone was going to pay cash on a monthly basis.
PLUS the beta was a clown-fest with only a select group of players playing regularly whilst everyone else played 3 hours every sunday. THat turned me off immediately and made me bin the game and try fallen earth.
Anyway sad to see them go down, but you have to wonder about the choices some of these companies make.
