in APB: Reloaded

I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but that is what it reminds me of sorta. But, with some GTA thrown in for flavor ;)

 

I kinda like it, but I am not sure if I will purchase it now, or get it later when summer starts to fade.

    Heavily instanced, good character/vehicle customizer yep. I´m calling it a standard fps with a few more people on the playfield. Weather that´s good or bad is for each to decide.

    All statements I make is from my point of view unless stated otherwise.

    I really enjoyed PVP in COH but that was it. not enough of it..

    heres my review:


    I am taking the time to write a review for this game because it deserves respect and hoping others will get some insight so they too will be amazed by the level of accomplishment and fun they have created!


     


    I am an old school EQ fan and played probably played all mmorpgs out there.


    I never have written a review so bare with me..


     


    First when logging on the was no lag,hiccups NONE..the game is polished and feels completed..I am playing on a 1 gig nivida—2.6 i7 –9gigs ram- not fancy—but gets er done.


     


    You go through a tutorial that lasts maybe 30 mins..the game is so easy to just PLAY..no pressing M back and forth to look at map.navagation is easy. When you are through with tutorial you can go customize your char-car-logo-make music..i decided to just go play the game..later I messed with the customization but that alone can be a review in itself.


    So when I spawned there is a Quest giving NPC (thank God No explanation mark over his head)..There are around 4 of these npc scattered around the map..The offer you a quests—weapons—and can sell to them—you don’t however have to keep going back to them to pick up additional quests..they will call you and you can except or deny..only time you have to see them again is if you wanna buy new equipment(firepower) or sell—there are ammo machine throughout  the map when you need more ammo—I never found myself needing more though—


     


    Ok so you get mission and then you have the option to get group—it’s done automatically no typing /invite or spamming for others the just auto join..and you have instant VOIP no setting it up..It just works..Amazing! to get a car you just go to kiosk at major points or just steal a car..Bam into the action..


     


    You can only kill others that are on same mission..you will see others but their names are in Gray..they cants be killed or run over..The fighting and action is all around you..cars exploding people screaming..very fast paced..and so easy to get into..


     


    You level up after each mission and gain money—when leveling up it gives you more options of guns and opens up more customization  for your Char (logos—clothes—tattoos—piercings..Cars..ect..ect)..The customizing  is unbelievable..its beyond any other game I have ever played..


     


    There is an action house where you can sell custom guns—custom clothes—cars ect..what is interesting that there is 2 types of currency INgame and out of game (gametime ect)..so that means you could play game for free if you have the talent and time!


     


    The controls are typical FPS controls—playing on regular keyboard killed my fingers..i look forward to using my g13..


    There are no instant headshot kills—or auto aim—but when you are zeroed  on the player (aimed) you crosshair turns red and you give more damage..The game is fast paced and time fly’s!


     


    I actually had goose bumps several times by the level of enjoyment and detail..the game is a blast!


    This is a massive Multiplayer Online Game without the RPG element..there are no raids—epic weapons—ect..ect just faced paced in your face fun!


     


    I think you will be shocked on how polished and enjoyable this game is. This is not your typical FPS this game is unique giving the level of freedom when making your char—car—music—ect..ect..


     


    This game is going to set a standard in games to follow!  


     


    Please do yourself a favor and try it—when you.. do look me up in game (Blister)..I will be a Enforcer—If you choose otherwise you will hear my 5 sec death theme song (customized by me) that you won’t forget J

    Hmm need to be careful what I say with NDA etc but from the "videos" and "quest mechanics" yes it seems on paper as though it is similar to coh.

    Doesnt Even Compare--COH is quest oriented--go to A to get B..ect ect..APB is simalar to GTA online with greater Toon customization..auction house..Cars..Music..and the such!

    I am really jealous of people who say there is no lag or hiccups. Great game design but it's still not quite where I expected of this after so much time and budget. Graphical issues and lag issues are probably due to Keys to the City event and I am sure everything will be great at launch.

    I will say this.....this game is how I wish city of heroes and city of villains worked out.  Actual missions in progress that player villains and player heroes have a chance to react to in the main game.

    This game is also similar to the matrix online its kind of a superior hybrid between the two for pvp'rs.  I have read the toon customiser is the best ever seen and I've played most if not all.  I have also read what is really cool you can design and get new clothes in the game updating your toons look as you go. There will be some real funksters out there..

    Yes, because of the customisation is very much like CoH actually...

     

    In fact, I am designing some of my old CoH characters in APB, with the added ability to make a car to match :D

     

    But the level of customisation is far superior in my view, and makes Coh + CO look childish in comparison.

    Don't bother even trying this game if you don't have ATLEAST 3 gigs of RAM, a duel core and a video card made in the last 2 years.... the lag is unbearable especially when driving
