Video idea: I forced my friends into an irl hostage situation

As someone who has played this game for about 10 years, it truly saddens me to see one of my favorite video games die out like this. As messed up as this game is, it'll always be something I look back to with overall good memories. 😓

i remember thinking this game was so cool when i was younger lol

This game had such a good idea. I remember being in highschool with friends playing this and we had so much fun. It just didnt become popular, not enough players. A sad story.

This was nostalgic. Me and my buddy played this a lot back in high school. We'd semi-roleplay as two cops for months until my buddy used me accidently crushing him between a wall and our squad car as a reason to stop since he died. Fun times

Now this was a nostalgia trip down memory lane

8:53 "Did you see that trick I just did? I'm so impressive!" - says Kev as the driver casually does a backflip with a fucking muscle car.

I can't get enough of the forced friends videos. Absolutely love them.

I have over 3000h played on this game , I started playing it on Easter 2012 and stopped at around 2017 when most of my friends left the game. I still keep up with the updates on their forum but that’s about it. I am glad I had the privilege of experiencing the game when it was arguably at its peak. It was truly an unique experience, people have no idea how unique this game is , the pvp, the enormous skill gap it had , the absolutely mindblowing customisation and the creativity some people had. Ultimately what killed off this game was the lack of content and the monetisation followed by an engine upgrade that never happened and G1’s lies and lack of transparency to the community. I hope Little Orbit somehow brings this game back from the dead , I highly doubt that but if somehow we got some new content in the game like a new map or something , I would definitely come back to this game and I’m sure a lot of veterans would as well.

I had much fun with this game. Its one of the best MMO concept IMO. Unfortunately it died cause of P2W aspects and lack of updates (also cheaters ofc)

90% of the comments: I remember playing this for five minutes like ten years ago 9% of the comments: This game was so cool when I was younger. 1% (Me): I had no idea this game even existed until now.

This dude sounds like he’s having a blast with absolutely everything he does. Legitimately my favorite gaming youtuber, keep it up man

The one thing that kept me coming back to APB back in the day was my character's Totally Inconspicuous Van, which I did up in company liveries like We Got Crabs seafood emporium, or Auntie Ethical's organ wholesalers.

Man, the customization in this game is bloody wild - a shame they forgot to male the rest of the game... and microtransactioned it to death, too.

Its crazy how much history is in this game. Servers that no longer exist, clans that faded away, entire drama arcs never to be remembered. So long Colby.

I remember this game like it was yesterday! When I was a kid I used to be in a clan and everything and despite the pay to win aspect I would still have so much fun fighting against everyone with my free to play gear. Especially since customisation was so drippy

If Kev keeps playing apb, honestly he could possibly revive the game. What the game needs is a community to not only enjoy the game, but to push the devs to hopefully make the game what it should’ve been from the start

Is it just me or does Kev’s voice sound super satisfying to listen to?

It's so eerie watching something you remember as bustling with life and chaos, now completely deserted. I wonder what's going on with all the cool people I met in this game 10 years ago.

Game might be mocked and ridiculed by new players, but it always remains in my heart. It's all about the cool friends and community you met along the way. The game was legendary back in the day...

12:18 when matt says 'hello father' and his dad says 'hello son' is the best moment

I remember playing that game each day for almost 2 years between 2011 and 2013, and hell I had soo much fun then with people I met… We had like a 25 people "clan" and you always had friends to play with... often updates, fixes, events... damn the game was amazing then :"< tried to play that game again, and I won't lie, I had some fun, but it is just not the same without a group of people to have fun together with :(

Oh man. I haven't played this game in many years now. I used to play it quite a lot actually. I don't even remember liking it that much so I don't know why I played it as much as I did.

I wish you guys would have played this back in the glory days. This game used to be so awesome when there was still a player base. There is a reason I got over 4k hours in to this game

I remember biggest advantage this game had was customization which was good but sadly if you had premium it was even better since you could make much more advanced pattern and much better looking vehicles since you had also more slots for patterns

Loved this game. Unparalleled character customization, shooting and racing both together in PvP missions. It was awesome

To be honest when I played this when I was like younger I really didn’t think it was that bad. It still kinda looks fun

This game was so fun when you could get a massive group of people all doing stuff. That's the catch, though. You need a massive group of people WILLING to play APB Reloaded.

I used to play this game with my best friend when I first started getting really into open world games. Looking back, I had very low expectations to my open world games. :')

The game was honestly amazing, after it was finished it had a great gameplay loop but the constant selling of it to random companies so they can try to milk as much money out of it pretty much ruined it

I remember all my friends being hyped about this game, then no one ended up playing it

My friends and I played this for thousands of hours back in high school. It's a real shame that this game got killed by hackers, pay-to-win, and an inactive development team. I believe this game could have a lot of potential even nowadays especially if it were mobile-compatible and cross platform.

Ah, good ol APB Reloaded. I got two stories that happened to me on this game. First one is. I got into a mission that ended on a VIP hunt, I was on the Hunt team. Downside is that me and my whole team were Bronze, and we were grouped up against a full team of sweaty High Tier Golds, my whole team left, but i decided to not give them the satisfaction of winning that way. So...i got into my car and got TF out of there and drove to the other side of the map and hid in an alleyway, if not enough Hunters die or the VIP dies enough, the timer is like, over half an hour. So i wrote in district chat "since i cannot win anyways because my whole team ditched, i'mma just waste everyones time and hide in a corner" where like basically everyone on that map was laughing their asses off...except for my opponents, they were not happy to say the least xD They never found me, and eventhough a few of them left, they waited out the time, but the time of theirs i wasted, they could've done several full missions, so eventhough i lost, i call that a total win xD Second story is. I was once again grouped up against a full team of Golds, i was still Bronze, and unlike the previous one, this was not a VIP mission, but an Elimination mission, the side with the most kills, win. My whole team ditched...again. And so i decided to hide in a train yard building which has barely any good view points and Very obvious entrances. And unlike every other sweaty try hards, they did NOT have RPGs, much to my surprise. I was only armed with an LMG...and i wiped they all out several times, they only had to kill me a single time cause thanks to my ditcher of a team, they had died so many times that our life counter was at 1. I outshot them so baddly, that one of them accused me of Cheating, which i responded with "yeah it's this new insane cheat called AIMING, thanks for the compliment though" and this was sad in the map chat, so everyone on there saw it aswell. They all laughed, and he did not say anything after that. I did not win however, cause they got so pissed at losing 1v5 against a Bronze player, that they whipped out the RPGs. Which i said in District Chat "wow, you guys lost to a BRONZE player so baddly that you had to whip out the RPGs to win, huh?" And they got roasted beyond belief by other players. All in all, a good day xD

The game isn't really dead, you can find 2-3 EU servers that are full. Daily players are about 300+ players, don't let the low numbers scare you, that is still plenty of people to play with. I can see people in the comments saying it was a good game, I think it's time to give it a try again, otherwise, the reason for the game being dead is that no one shows support for it thus new players not willing to try the game. This game is Creative, fun, and not like any other game, as any games these days becoming less and less creative. I started playing APB recently because I lost my interest in gaming, mostly the reason being that new games don't interest me anymore, they are all the same. But this one is a gem to be saved.

Star Citizen says, "Most expensive game to make? Hold my beer!"

This was actually my favorite game. I hope this video shines some light on these slightly unpolished gem!!! Please... I want to play again

I love the little history lessons he gives us before he begins the meyham.

I remember this, was the first online game i bought that failed. The close range voice was cool

bruh I have over 500hours on this game lmao... Used to love it

I still enjoy this game in various ways. For the gameplay, the open city aspect, making music, and watching chat rage at the most miniscule things. The game is hilarious. I once sniped a dude from under a car and he called me a hacker. A dude who has been playing the game since beta had no idea people can shoot under cars. Needless to say the entire server laughed at him. People take this game so seriously like they are projecting their failure to become a cop in real life, so they tryhard in this game. It's hilarity at its perfection.

I used to play this a whole lot. It's terrible, but you guys manage to make it look still kinda fun.

Easily the best character customization I’ve seen in a game. Doesn’t get much better than literally *photoshop*

Honestly i used to play this a lot back in the day before they made it extra pay to win with some of the weapons and had a ton of fond memories.The customization was quite in depth the vehicle variety aswell and the guns felt great to shoot. The highlight of this game was the looting mechanic that i would constantly get as much stuff as i could before more that a dozen cops would try to arrest me and i would usually run lmgs so i can dissable their cars quickly. Game was an absolute banger

This was such a fun game. I have like 20 physical copies of the game because buying them was cheaper than paying for both premium currency and subscription

The game was surprisingly fun, but I bowed out when it did the 'f2p' model. If APB were to release today, with updated graphics and systems, it would be the most popular game on PC guaranteed.

Hope more players start to play this game again, it is a really good game.

I would've honestly recommend Tactical Intervention, but I just found out that it was actually delisted on Steam even in 2017, which means unless you had it from before that you can't even see it in your library. And no servers, but i'm not 100% sure about lan servers, which means it might be possible. And in that case, I really recommend the VIP car maps, they were hella fun.

I played this game with friends so many years ago. Pretty fun, had some cool, crazy, hilarious gameplay moments too. I didn't know this game still up last year 😂

FINALLY! I’ve been lacking recently in asking for it in the comments, but i’m glad it happened!

Started watching you two months ago, and since then have almost watched all your content once and few videos multiple times - never been fan of content like this - but you made it so much fun! You are my go-to-guy for videos like these now! Here to next year and more videos from you! Take care!

Holy shit,i thought this game was out of the market,used to play it so much in the past,boy this makes me feel warm inside.

I remember playing this game for like 10 minutes 2 years ago

I followed this game since it launched, and clocked well over 2K hours on it over the few years after. It really is a huge shame how poorly managed it was because it was full of potential, even by today's standards.

I'm amazed they have kept this game going since when I got it for Xbox I immediately uninstalled it. This video is hilarious.

I played ALOT of APB Reloaded on Steam. the amount of detail to clothing is crazy you can find some crazy things on youtube showing off power ranger fits, barney, batman etc.

I remember playing apb reloaded alot , it was a fun game when it had players

I loved APB. I Was at it's first release and when I bought the game Hard case it came with a activation card code. Then they sold it and it became "reloaded". It was such a good game until hackers came... pepperballing all the criminals was so fun or shooting em with the heart gun so it showed "etc ♡ etc" in the kill tags lol.

I remember loving this game when it came out (yes, I played the not free version), and forgetting about it for a few years when my subscription ran out. I was also one of the rare cop players. Actually, cops and criminals were quite balanced back in the day.

This game is so cool man you just hit me with a nostalgia hammer

It’s like a fever dream. This games worst times made it the best times. With friends at least lol

couple things from an APB vet, headshots dont exist, ADS only helps at long range and jumping while barrel stuffing is meta cqc.

this game needs support but overall got more stuff to do than most games out rn

I'm gonna be honest game was ok just the fact that every mission requires more people but there's almost always only like at most 3 people in any given server

What makes this game even weirder, freaking SeaNanners was in the live action trailer

God I remember this game, played it twice then forgot about it till a few years ago thanks to youtubes recommendation to watch a random video...... the video was sick, had a great song in it and now it's happened twice, well the difference is i watch this channel.

I have 500 hours in this game, remember that the customization was wicked for back then, got some guns & cars then stopped spending money because it was wayy p2w. Shame really, was fun as hell.

Here we go again

this is pure nostalgia

3:28 - Good lord, it's like the entire Lollipop Guild got hooked on drugs and fast food, then shifted to a gang to pay for their new vices.

at about 16:20 "Was that Andrew Tate oh my gawd.." got me good, I love Kevins offhand silliness!

I remember listening to the same song on loop because it was the only one I liked on the radio, and just robbingstores/arresting people with some pals. Good stuff.

I played this way back on the xbox 360, and holy shit it was a clusterfuck of bugs

You forgot to add that when this game first came out it cost additional 15$ month to keep the service going also addition 40-60$ to buy lol

APB reloaded is that one game that’s in your library but you have no idea how it got there

I tried it around 2014 and the game was never able to launch. Glad to see I didn't miss much.

Me "Mom can I play GTA" Mom: "We have GTA at home" The GTA and home be like...

I haven't even started the video yet but I'm so excited to play this again. I haven't played this game since I was 12 and it's been almost a full decade now since I've played it

i still play apb to this day i still love it me and have since i was a kid and kind of happy seeing this video aha

There’s definitely a charm to this game despite how ganky it’s always been

I still play the game every weeks, don’t hesitate to re-download it to come have some fun on it ! 😊

holy crap, i think i was the one who suggested you try this game out a while back

It fills my heart with joy everytime I see someone beating this dead horse. What an awfully amazing awful game of bad goodness

This is quickly becoming my favorite KZfaq channel. Thanks for the entertainment my good man 👍

This game was everything to me on release, i worked long hours with my mom so i could afford a new PC JUST to play this. I went enforcer and had the best times for many years. the microtransactions(the NANO... IYKYK) and lies about a system graphic overhaul (promised by BOTH companies that owned this game at different times mind you) ruined this game. it had such potential... now we just play GTA5RP and reminisce

I loved apb so much, used to run a criminal clan called grape soda factory. We were all named after ingredients found in grape soda. Yep weird.

I've been playing this game for a long time now. Seen all the ups and downs. The customization is the one thing that keeps me coming back to it. Enjoyed the video. No idea if it'll bring new players to the game or not. Something to note is that the Dev team is focused on an engine update, and outside of that the game is basically running on life support. The people who are actively playing it are the most diehard of APB Reloaded fans, but a lot of them can be very negative. Even I'm a little negative despite it being a game I actually enjoy.

The game had such terrible balance at launch, and they just kept making it (and the grind) worse. I think my favorite memory of playing the game was unloading an LMG into a car driving towards me, blowing up said car and having it do a front half-flip about 30 feet into the air... Only to land directly on top of me and kill me. It's always been bad (but real fun back in the day), and it's only gotten worse.

Love the bully bikeracing Soundtrack in the Background 😂👌🏻

Fun fact: The music at 10:20 is the song used in Oceans 12 when old mate dances through the lasers. Is actually a pretty cool song.

Seeing Kev with horrendous STAR handling grinds my gears. But this was funny.

Kev I congratulate you as you got this game poppin after 10 years, never seen the opposite teams full

This game still remains the most expressive in terms of customization in a third person shooter. Dunkin donut van in a dunkin donut uniform fighting cops.

I haven't played this game in like 9 years and it's still my most played game on Steam lol

I remember reading about this game in like 2004/5 or something and it sounded so epic.

I remember when we jacked random dump trucks and blocked critical crossroads with em,completely fucking over everyone trying to "quest",a group of well organised players could basically force everyone into a stalemate and it usually turned the area into a warzone haha

Level of customization in this game is awesome. Also I love how APB doesn't have the same stupid problem with tons of lodaings screens, to launch mission, as GTAO

I got a silly amount of hours in APB. It was a great game, watching it slowly die was painful

It's crazy how much of this game i remember, good times...

This game is so good love how to mao designed though small got loads of buildings with multiple ways of entering so its harder to camp. Some people might be discouraged as its simualar to gta but it plays alot different to gta but does have a few similarities. The amount of customizations you can do is amazing

Lmao the memories of golds de-threating to stomp new players and make them want to quit. Who knew it would be hard to draw in new players.
