APB the Game Time Forgot

Have you ever missed the good ol' days when online gaming lobbies would be spewing with mic'd toxicity? Well what if I told you there exists a game that still has that same trash talking magic from all those years ago...

The character customisation and just customisation in general was insane in APB. Really the only game that could rival SR2 customisation imo

[@PapadubiTactical]

Character customization in APB is god level

@@Journey_Awaits WWE games had god tier customization, especially SmackDown Here Comes The Pain

[@Th3iLLGod]

Apb did better customization then all WWE games and that’s coming from someone who also loved WWE for the character customization. Apb really topped a lot of games it’s to a point I’m still on apb to this day in Xbox servers just to make t shirt ideas for rl and just make characters new ideas etc for later ideas for comics and shit

I always wanted APB to be singleplayer

[@MuteObserver]

That ending MADE the video; love places like this like, but they don't tend to last -this is an interesting case I can see the VRChat comparison, definitely. The way those two came up was kind of wholesome, even in the combative environment ^^

[@InternetMouse]

Oh the 2000s. Oh i miss those times when games were completed on day one. Had full content and didn't have to be sold as dlc instead.

[@hawken796]

Ironic you're commenting this on a video about an uncompleted game from that era

[@InternetMouse]

@@hawken796 true. Haha

[@Rebel_Slasher]

This game was my go to back in 2015-2016, when I had a very low-end laptop at the time. Customization was phenomenal, but the toxic community and poor optimization is what made me scarred from playing it again.

[@M4V3R1CK_13]

Character customization in APB stills insane to this day. I've been playing it since 2012. After the rebranding into APB Reloaded. The problem with it is. They trying so hard to bring the new engine alive (since 2014 iirc) because the older engine can't take it anymore and is taking it's toll... And the new engine (the one in console versions) is far from optimized.

[@zarlg]

I played this back when it started. It was pretty broken but I got to say the toxicity nostalgia is making me want to go back.

[@Im_Alkaid]

I appreciate the flippy cameo in the beginning

[@65firered]

I tried a few times to get into it but there were so many road blocks I couldn't never get very far.

[@physical_insanity]

I'll always remember the KZbinr that introduced me to this mess of a game. God Bless you, Shini.

[@M4DAttack]

Thank you for noting this game's existence dude, I actually like this oddly.

[@zackbiggins2022]

Oh man this brings back memories

[@InternetMouse]

Although, it was an unstable , unfinished game. Apb felt more like saints row than the actual saints row reboot.

[@M4DAttack]

The G-Kings are pretty much the 3rd street saints of APB

[@M4DAttack]

By that I mean they're the only rowdy rough faction in the entire game. Gresty is a ghetto neighborhood project, and they dgaf who they hurt.

[@loudris442]

I feel like SR3 should've went for APB's blend of traditional urban gangster aesthetics and early-2010s neon MySpace scenekid style

[@puremarblec]

The only time I played this game the entire hub was just insulting a guy who was playing some shitty death metal through his 2010 walmart headset

[@slothsong080]

I must be a sucker thinking Little Orbit will bring this game back from the dead, but dammit I'd do anything to see this game get another chance.

[@Vickysqueeze]

Why didn't I get notified I have the bell on? Also I'm so excited to watch an apb video. That game is my favorite dog shit

[@FrankByDaylight]

This game is a Guilty Pleasure of mine. Played it tons back in the day. Don't really play it now. But I still think about it very often. And here is my fav experience with the game. So I never wanted to spend money on the game for a new outfit. But I went really far into the game. But one day I went against a super sweaty criminal team. It was a 2v1, with me all by myself. Miraculously I beat them and they were stunned. One even said "we just got beat by the noobiest muthaucka." They then tried convincing me that they knew a glitch to get clothes for free and it involved messing with the save file. So instead I drove away and kept doing missions while they followed me around for I shit you not... 6 hours. I wanted to stop playing but they were so damn entertaining! I just had to keep going. They ended up getting kicked from the server for team killing each other cuz they got bored. Good times.

[@BigGucciNola]

This game is the reason why they have instructions on shampoo bottles. Good times playing this game 2016-2018

[@SLEEPGANG]

Man I forgot this game existed, I heard about it ages ago but never played it myself. Might have to give it a whirl.

[@GalacticLightN]

Awesome video

[@zilsux]

I still play this game like once every year or every 2 years. I have about 1k hours on it. Long story short, somehow the most toxic environment I've played. You can log in into any district and witness people going ape shit on the text chat. Yes text chat, There's a reason I turned off my VOIP. There's usually just a handful of players in each district, and if you check out the hours these players have in the game, they are usually around the 10k mark. It is fucking insane. I started playing APB after I felt disappointed with how Saints Row curved after SR2. Its customization, when understood completely, does surpass Saint's Rows. While the game can't be said to be Pay to Win, at least anymore, there's a clear gap between unlocking an item that will give you the extra edge, and just paying a few bucks. Which allows hackers to re-roll easily. I'd say the game is enjoyable if you tag friends along, but the friends I've convinced to download APB usually play once and then straight up disagree to ever play again.

[@ravenheathers4404]

No way... I never thought you'd cover this game. I loved the customization of this game and I enjoyed the gameplay personally. The customization in this game to me personally is like still not beaten to this day for me.

[@19aidan]

Honey wake up! Mrsaintsgodzilla21 posted a video!

I wonder if those dudes at the end of the vid will ever watch this one

[@louieking8352]

I always want realtime world come back to crackdown, Now it’s just a distant memory.

[@RunningRiot]

This shit unironically just reminds me of Roblox voice chat, which might be a strange comparison since Roblox is considered to be a children's game but there's little to no moderation when it comes to the voice chat and it's filled to the brim with people exactly like this.

[@Matt-md5yt]

I know right. That game has its own rabbit hole to go through

[@whoelsebutmeofcoursei]

It's a piece of huge shit

[@DiddlyDoink]

a few times years apart I would hear about this game and look into it, at no point did it ever look like it did previously, either my memory is bad or it keeps changing, also I feel like at some point it was entirely dead?

hey saint but I don't know if you already knew this but shoot, you can clip through any wall if you're hit with a bat while doing the lean emote where your body goes headfirst through a wall

[@defnotgodlevel6661]

The video is great and all but can we talk about the fact that you're almost at 100k subs like its crazy seeing your growth over time and just how creative and quality your videos have been since the beginning like I've been subbed since like 5-10k sub mark and your videos have only gotten better the only "problem" is upload schedule but since you don't upload all the time like some other youtubers I don't get tired and when I got the notification for this video for example I deadass gasped and said damn he uploaded and immediately watched the video you truly are one of mine and probably many others favorite youtubers and deserve so much praise and credit and its only a matter of time till you hit 100k

[@mrsaintsgodzilla21]

Thank you. This really means a lot, especially after how rough the last two years has been. With any luck, 100K will mark a new chapter and I’ll be able to provide more content with better quality for years to come.

[@Mr.SpicyIce]

The time I played APB was the only time. The only extremely funny thing that happened was when I teamed up with a person that was as new as me and played a mission. Funnily enough the people we were versing were also extremely new to the game. Whenever I would find the other players they would be screaming and laughing at the game. I crashed as many times as they did too. At the end of it we all found the actual objective and they let my team win because it was completely chaos. The game is a poor mess but the players are kool.

[@ONI-GAMI]

I can't forget I spend 2k on the console version for Xbox. Ichise, if yall ever seen me Frivolous, if yall ever played why bro. Shout out to the OGs like PandaLV, Jinto, WizardPaladin, Elementary etc. (People like panda made clothing, WizardPaladin/ Jinto perfected Ntec combat and perk use) The game is nothing like saints row, nothing like GTA in terms of Customization

[@BowlingLoverLC]

I still play it, despite the repetitive gameplay, the customization is insane, and the combat feels good when you pop off

[@wind4396]

The combat is weird, the sensitivity when aiming and the fact that there are no headshots which confused me the first time i played

[@E621_Rule34]

Hell when i played years ago no one was in the social hub but the few that were that were basically making it a mw2 lobby

[@groovyb2177]

Damn the toxicity in voice chat on the console versions seems insane. if I do remember correctly the voice chat on PC doesnt work, cuz i have almost 600 hrs on steam and a bit more from back when it was on gamersfirst, and I've never heard anyone in voice chat ever. But yeah even without voice chat the game is definitely still very toxic, I've gotten tons of messages from people calling me a hacker or just insulting me because I've fairly killed them. Sad to see this game slowly dying out but that's been going on for years now, and I dont think there is a salvation coming. Had great times on this game and still pop in every few months for a few weeks. It was cool to see a video on APB from saintsgodzilla tho, this game isn't talked about enough for what it has accomplished especially in the cosmetics section imo. Would be cool to see a follow up video from you talking more about the good sides of this game maybe.

[@Sharkmonger]

The PC version's Vivox voice support has been broken for quite a long time, iirc it was a legacy service they were providing as a courtesy until they absolutely couldn't anymore. The 1.30 patch did bring population back to the servers though! You can play on modern hardware without constant crashes like before. It's a far cry from the engine update, but I'll take being able to actually play over nothing.

[@Occidendum]

I played this game and the textures won't even load 🤣

[@capedcrusaderbatman]

Still better than the saints row reboot

[@T0asty-]

Oooh this was unexpected. Didn't know anyone remembered this gem. I loved APB. Compared it to Counter Strike+GTA. Shame it got reemed by GamersFirst (ironically, they did not in fact put gamers first)

[@play875]

God i played this game back in the day with a friend i had honestly such a good time with it (before it all went downhill) and the hackers of course haha

[@lolmort]

Well it's the console version and on the Na servers seem like (both less populated option) the og pc version as way "more" player and tend to be less toxic(well there's still toxic people and hacker but no people ddosing the whole server) and no one use the game voice chat(maybe because it's broken)

[@gavinl1565]

I have seen the video of what happen on all points bulletin.

[@Senti17]

[@HilltopGaming]

Loved the customization, hated the pay-to-win type gameplay.

[@whoelsebutmeofcoursei]

I still remember it! But its not worth your time. You (lvl 1) will be pitched against max lvl players, it's not fun. And the game gives the advantage to criminal players... good luck fighting crime when the guys stealing the store are 20 levels higher than you and have paid weapons who will kill you with two shots. The customization is good but it's not worth the hassle. You get attacked by players with much more powerful weapons, so you have a hard time getting money, so you either pay to win, or quit the game.

[@ryoko_avenger]

Man I remember the game was addictive on console I probably spend like 250$ on the game. Too bad last I checked the game is constantly shitting itself. Good old social district was always crazy
