#6 APB: All Points Bulletin
APB: All Points Bulletin was another video game title that took $50,000,000 to create. Developers Realtime Worlds didn’t give the game much charm and it left players non-existent in this MMO. For those unaware, APB: All Points Bulletin acted very much like a Grand Theft Auto Online "clone" before GTA Online came out and blew everyone away, but it didn’t get the massive response and players like Rockstar receives with their GTA series.
Taking it a step further, coverage for this game was forced to be taken down as a review embargo placed all critics and prominent websites to refrain from posting any reviews for the game until a week after its release. Developers stated that the reason for this was to assure reviewers could experience everything the game has to offer, but it’s possible that they were attempting to keep bad reviews from showing up when the game launched.
