[QUOTE=Raidyr;23113901]Or other player drivers who are just bad. I don't even mean griefers, just awful drivers.[/QUOTE] Sometimes I can't help but be bad. Seriously, the control delay is really fucking hard to drive with when you need to swerve past someone coming at you.

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;23114045]Sometimes I can't help but be bad.

[QUOTE=Dutch;23114067]oh oh oh and whenever you need to steal a car pretty much the only thing you'll find are dumb 2-door hatchback van things that control like a thirty year old RC car[/QUOTE] Don't forget that half the time you try to get into a four-door car, you get into the back seat instead of the front.

[QUOTE=Dutch;23113504]It also imposes ridiculously small limits, such as the 40 items of clothing limit, and the 100 layers on a car limit. To sum it up, the game is great. But it's so hard to get to the good parts.[/QUOTE] The layer limit is where the designer comes in :eng101: You could literally put all 100 layers into 1 decal and it'd count as 1.

While it is sort of a nuisance, it actually gets in the door that you're looking at. [QUOTE=Viper202;23114186]The layer limit is where the designer comes in :eng101: You could literally put all 100 layers into 1 decal and it'd count as 1.[/QUOTE] While that is a viable work around, it still doesn't work too well on large projects, as decals have horrendous quality when scaled up to fit on cars. Plus, the orientation controls (namely the alignment arrow thing) are just eeeh. An "import selected layers to designer" option would be great. And the ability to select multiple layers outside of the designer.

So let me get this straight. The game is extremely unoptimised on 32bit systems but works fine on 64bt systems? That's rather silly :wotwot:

[QUOTE=Ridge;23115104]32bit is dead, son.[/QUOTE] yea, no.

So, all in all. - Unoptimised. - Bad vehicle handling - Atrocious weapon balance. - Poor shooter experience. - Atrocious upgrade balance. - Inconsistancy in environment - Poor story. - Good customisation? [editline]02:23AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Ridge;23115104]32bit is dead, son.[/QUOTE] No.

Oh god today was epic. I was in a group with 3 other people and we managed to top the max (50) in the mission streak by a clan. We all got to max threat level. I wish the leagues went further past 50 because we played about 20 or so more missions and still haven't lost. We just disbanded since we all had to go.

Here's some advice. [b]No one cares. People like it. Get over it. Shut up.[/b]

Should we stop attacking the twilight books because "people like it" or are the criticisms ringing slightly too true, and you don't want to hear them anymore.

Go post in another thread and say that you don't like it Maybe they will care more

[QUOTE=Haxxer;23115285]Go post in another thread and say that you don't like it Maybe they will care more[/QUOTE] yes I'll post outside the apb thread about how APB has serious issues. that'll work right.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;23115285]Maybe they will care more[/QUOTE] didnt say it would work out

It makes you look like an asshole. You were posting how much this game sucks to you in every news thread involving APB and I'm sure you posted your "criticism" earlier in this thread too. Seriously, you were a lot more laid back and I respected you more when you made crappy gmod comics.

What's brought me back is people reading reviews, and attacking the reviewer saying that they "Don't get the game" and other shocking defences. I'm sorry, but understanding that other people have different tastes is one thing, but then saying that everyone else is wrong is another. At least you haven't attacked them, but reading comments threads on APB reviews is just a litany of stupidity. This game has moments, but otherwise reviewers have got the right idea. [QUOTE=Broni;23110714]I've been reading the awful reviews bombing APB. I have one gripe that I'll pick out on. Half the gaming community doesn't seem to be able to drive a fucking car using WDAD and the Spacebar as the handbrake, or they cannot afford a internet connection that isn't a tin can and a piece of string. Seriously, I read tons of posts of people bitching in Beta about driving, people bitching now about driving. The first time I got in a car, yes it felt a tiny bit slow. It took me a minute to compensate and then I was slamming round corners at high speed between cars and pulling donuts outside my contact points. [/QUOTE] Stuff like this. It's ignoring legitimate criticism, claiming people to be bad at the game, and thus don't enjoy it.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;23115532]NO ONE in this thread EVER said that you were wrong This game is pretty shitty, but it's fun as well We don't need you to post in every thread that has to do with APB that it's pretty shitty[/QUOTE] Good thing I'm not going to. I'm not going to come into every thread and shout at you guys to stop having fun but people attacking reviewers is unjustified though not entirely unexpected.

If you're not, why are you posting the criticisms everyone who plays the game has heard over and over again?

I don't mind bad players in tf2, but that is irrelevant. People are assuming that reviewers are bad because they don't like it [editline]02:56AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Kalinium;23115585]If you're in this thread to try and make people regret buying the game, you're just being a complete dick. If you're not, why are you posting the criticisms everyone who plays the game has heard over and over again?[/QUOTE] Neither of those are accurate. I was more hoping for an alternate view or a response to suggest they were wrong. If everyone has accepted them and heard them over and over why are people still playing?

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;23115633]Neither of those are accurate. I was more hoping for an alternate view or a response to suggest they were wrong. If everyone has accepted them and heard them over and over why are people still playing?[/QUOTE] Because we think the criticisms are shit. We've played the game and that tells us more than any review can. Most of the criticisms are on imprecise grounds like "the car handling is bad". What are we meant to say beyond "no it isn't"?

Maybe the car handling is like that for gameplay purposes? It's not done poorly, it's just different and more rigid than other racing games.

I still want a street racing game mode.

[QUOTE=Ridge;23117636]You were the one selling the Portal car yesterday, right?[/QUOTE] Still am selling Portal cars. Also taking requests on making Portal themed cars that are not faction specific.

Do a Cisco :v:. Cisco is the best car, discuss.

[QUOTE=Dashiel;23118550]Do a Cisco :v:. Cisco is the best car, discuss.[/QUOTE] I disagree. I love my Patriot Vegas G20.

Just finished writing up a review about APB, first time I've ever actually wrote a game review but I fancied giving it a try v:v:v You can view it [url=http://www.dasheo.com/?p=193]here[/url].
