APB in retail refund row

Administrator says that those looking for a refund should contact those from whom they bought the game

Pandemic5727d ago

Good to see they are allowing refunds.

gamesR4fun5727d ago

see the retailers = we dont give a frag

damn second rate devs putting all their eggs in one basket

d10sfan5727d ago

Not really, theyre just trying to force their consumers to try and get a refund from the place they bought it from.

nickjkl5727d ago

thats the problem with online games now when they start no matter how much beta testing goes on its always with so little content and thats why apb failed

and why nfswo is on the same track all you can do in that game is circuit sprint and pursuit nothing else its basically a free need for speed game with multiplayer

vhero5727d ago

Its a polite way of saying get lost we ain't giving you a refund as there no way your retailer gonna give you one.

fossilfern5727d ago

This is a complete disaster, my friend was actually close to buying the game last week but I talked him out of it.

mac_sparrow5727d ago (Edited 5727d ago )

do you mean it's a disaster that it's closed? Or a disaster that you talked your friend out of it? :P

StitchJones5727d ago

Realtime Worlds will never recover from the stink of this game. I need to start replying to the hate replies I got for saying this game was going to suck just when it came out. Time to make some dorks eat their words :-)

XXXCouture5727d ago

im pretty sure the studio has been closed

vhero5727d ago

Realtime worlds got screwed over by companys like MS who took there games like crackdown and gave them to other companys thus killing there income. MS are a plague on the 3rd party gaming world and 3rd partys are so blind to this fact and just see the green.

d10sfan5727d ago

Does Microsoft own the rights to Crackdown? If so, developers should stop selling their game rights to companies like Microsoft and find better publishers.

jay25727d ago

Oh bloody hell, I can't be bothered to mess around with GAME for £35 quid.

The Five Most Disappointing Video Games Of All Time

For every game that truly lives up to its potential, there are a couple that absolutely miss their mark. Be it a simple case of over hyping an unfinished product, to game systems that downright are broken, or even just a game being inexcusably horrible, some games just leave a terrible taste in people’s mouths.

I still loved Too Human for all of it's flaws.

If only Denis Dyack knew how to keep his mouth shut, the game's reception might have been very different.

Gamer6664597d ago

Agreed, Too Human was flawed, but the story was strong and the RPG elements were strong.

The control scheme was the only real lackluster part of the game... Unfortunately, you are reminded at how flawed the control scheme was in every single level and every single battle in the game...

UnHoly_One4597d ago

I have to disagree about the controls. They were different, but it worked, and made for a unique experience.

I never had a problem with the controls at all.

pixelsword4596d ago (Edited 4596d ago )

Why is it that people always want to put Lair down in a list like that, but when you see comments about it, most people who played the game enjoyed the game? The game wasn't broken, the game wasn't incomplete, the controls just had a steep learning curve, and most of that was basically keeping your controller straight after turning, and 180 turns, both were fixed after the patch.

People hated on this game merely because it was 1080p and (mostly) 60fps, and it came out early in the PS3's life-cycle; certain fanboys masquerading as journalists knew if this game bombed, people wouldn't invest in other games that were that ambitious and that's exactly what happened because after that games were cancelled (8-days) or delayed to the PS4 (last guardian).

Kleptic4596d ago (Edited 4596d ago )

^seriously dude?

I was as excited for Lair as anyone...and omg did it suck...

a story that...i'm not even going into it...the dialogue? ('why don't you try spitting some fireballs at them??' over and over and over)...

sorry man...that game was complete trash...there were plenty of early PS3 games that i feel got very unfair treatment within the media...but a conspiracy against Lair is something i could never agree with...it was just a shitty game...plain and simple...to each their own, though...

hell, i thought Haze was better than Lair...and haze was damn near unplayable...

JasonKCK4595d ago

Too Human is pretty good for an unfinished game. It also has one hell of a dedicated fanbase.

GuyThatPlaysGames4597d ago

Definitely Too Human. Also, I would add Haze and Duke Nukem.

joe904597d ago (Edited 4597d ago )

Too Human was OK i don't get everyones hate of it. I enjoyed the leveling of the armour and weapons.

APB is still played by the thousands and makes a very steady income from it.

Why no Damnation,Haze,Duke Nukem Forever or Rogue Warrior? They're the worst/over-hyped games i have ever played.

I know this is an opinion piece so it is what it is.

TheEnigma3134597d ago

I think rogue warrior needs to be on here. And why Isn't E.T. on here since we're talking about all time terrible games. That game single handily crashed the video game world.

isarai4597d ago

maybe because it's not "all time terrible games" it's "Most Disappointing Video Games Of All Time" even in commercials and the promise of ET was trash, no one was expecting greatness from that game. but yes Rogue Warrior was horrid compared to what it was meant to be, wasn't even close to it's target

Ghostdogg4595d ago

Rouge warrior was pure garbage and lol@ E.T.

iamnsuperman4597d ago (Edited 4597d ago )

For me Haze. I was interested to play it. That was until I played the demo. Picked it up in a bargain bin later on after its launch and I am glad I did........pick it out of a bargain bin and not pay full price

SuperBlur4597d ago

APB , that game went from having a 100mill dollar budget to bankruptcy so fast , it should be a record on its own

raistra4597d ago

Such a great studio lost to that game :(

KonsoruMasuta4597d ago

No Dude Nukem: Forever? That games had so much hype surrounding it and it turned out to be a steaming pile.

What APB got right, and why it initially failed

PC Gamer - The action-MMO first known as APB lives on as APB Reloaded. But if your memory serves, you’ll recall that the urban, massively-multiplayer shooter had a quick death: APB shut down just months after launching at the end of June 2010, coinciding with the dissolution of developer Realtime Worlds.
