APB's Chris Collins talks music, customization

Thus the beauty of their subscription model. Buy some hours and use them at your leisure if you just want to pop in a few times a month. I plan on probably paying for 1 month then going to hourly after that unless they have a big update in the time it takes for 50hours+1month to run out.

Having broken 80 hours of gameplay on the beta, I'm still not even close to bored and am jonesing for more. Though I can see why some people might consider it small, it's still quite large enough to keep the game interesting, at least until they give us some new districts.

I am hearing from various other players, though I don't know how true it is, that they have 2 more districts lined up and ready; I didn't read this anywhere, I'm just hearing people chat about it. From what I hear, they're just waiting to smooth the game out some. That makes sense to me.

While I understand what you're saying you also need to understand what they are doing and why. They are creating a "foundation" for their game and will continue to build on top of that. It may be small now but with a proper foundation it will grow. The major issues with other MMO's is that they try to do too much and their foundation is bad.

I'd much rather have a small game that works properly than a big game that doesn't and will require months just to fix the base mechanics of the game. You also need to remember that this isn't a traditional MMO. You need to look at this like a FPS. Sure you play the same maps(quests in this case as well) over and over but because each time the way things play out is different it doesn't get boring very fast at all.

On another note I fully expect to spend hours just on customization which isn't something you can say for pretty much any other game on the market.

Blah hit "Add comment" too soon. Those Death Themes, I've made a killing selling the various "Mario Death" themes, it's helped me buy a new car ^_^.
