Never used my 50 hours (used monthly) and don't feel any incentive to now.
If they had done more about cheaters and if the userbase wasn't so horribly toxic then the game could have had twice the lifetime for me personally. Ah well, I got more multiplayer gametime out of it than I got out of Bad Company 2 :\
Goodbye dump-truck griefing, dance parties, and incredible amounts of butthurt and rage.

So was APB good while it lasted?

To make a long story short, not really. There were griefers everywhere (not that I should have the pleasure of complaining), the system was super unbalanced, the matchmaking system simply did not work, lots of hackers with no effort of implementing some sort of anti-cheat, terribly unoptimized performance, almost no support for the community, patches that should've been out a day after launch (not that they fixed anything important anyways), and missions that just weren't fun.
The game could be fun, but man the other 80% of the time it was completely infuriating.

tl;dr - great ideas, terrible execution on the verge of amateurish
Re: APB - Vandamguy - 09-20-2010
can we lock this, send it to the back page of the forum, and forget that we all got tricked ?
they would have had to sell 20 million units to make back their investment.. considering a 'good' sales number for PC games is in the 500,000 unit range .. yeah.

I second this motion and have an addendum, can we please oficially rename APB to "game who shall never be named again"

And then Karth was all like "C'mon, buy it now! It's really fun with friends!" and I was all like "I played the demo and it was shit. I'll buy it next year if it gets any better or survives" and he was all like "It's really fun man, buy it now" and I was all like "no".
