I wanted to post this if any of you saw Podcast #13

YouTube- APB Podcast Episode 13: The Organisations of San Paro Part 1 of 2 - All Points Bulletin

that they showed. Am honestly the only one that thinks that the organizations go off from the real things in real life. At least the G-Kings look kind of realistic, but come on no gangsta' looking organizations? Leave posts saying what you think about the organizations. To me they look so-so, not so good and not so bad but the ones on enforcers are really ugly. Since when did jocks did crime fighting?

The title says it already. I saw some people who said they have already made an CLAN. I want that to. Can anyone describe how I can make a CLAN for the APB game??

That's exactly what came to mind when i first saw the podcast. The leader of Blood Roses looks acceptable but the rest of the gang doesn't fit the whole gang look. On the enforcer side the Praetorians totally fit the mercenary look but the Prentiss Tigers are plain ridiculous.. I mean seriously when was the last time any sort of law enforcement had a cheer leader uniform as their outfit

Yeah they really need Ganagster type ganags, like crips or bloods.... They should have West East Side stuff

You have to understand that the company developing the game is from an area where typical gangsters are scarce. In America, gangs look alike: baggy clothes, set colors, a "Do not approach" look in their eyes. In the UK, you have the sophisticated mafias and mobs, and then you have the low-life bunch of budding adolescents who thinking throwing a couple Molotov's into a few stores makes you a gang.

That's where they are getting their ideas from. Not to mention if they do try to make "real" gangs they'd get heat from someone for promoting or misrepresenting a dangerous organization. Even if they copied on small thing, someone would notice and get pissed.

Well then explain to me Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Saints Row 1 and Saints Row 2. They all promote gang violence. G.T.A. has had a couple of contreversies over their games, but Saints Row 1 and 2 have not. Saints Row 1 and 2 both have gangster like gangs and such, and they haven't gotten "heat from someone for promoting or misrepresenting a dangerous organization."

First, GTA's controversies are over the content of the game, which includes fairly accurate representations of drug use; social, ethnic, and political differences/issues; and the depiction of sex and nudity. The gangs in GTA aren't as noticeable as in Saints Row because they aren't a major focus for the game. The gangs are more like ways to get to the drugs, sex and gore, all of which help drive the main story for the GTA games and influence how the main character rises to power.

In Saints Row, the gang violence is taken more seriously, but SR doesn't get as much spotlight as GTA on TV, and slips under the radar for the general public. From what I've played, and honestly it wasn't much, the controversies in SR stayed within the gang violence field. GTA covers a series of topics that could easily earn it an R-rating if it were a movie, where as SR would get it for a bit of violence, sensuality, and language.

And what I meant by "misrepresenting a dangerous organization" was that if they added an all red wearing gang or an all blue gang, or both, RTW would get heat from people for trying to pull in real gangs lie the Bloods and the Crips. SR almost did that, but the colors of the gangs and their members (like the all Asian gang) did not match with real life gangs and may not be seen as controversial at all.

Hopefully that cleared up some misunderstandings.

Honestly I really like the criminal groups. Both of them look really cool.

And damn criminal chicks are HOT!

When I saw this video I knew I wanted to be a criminal so I could fight alongside all the hotties. That goth girl with the pigtails is so cute that I could eat her. And that G-Kings girl with the blue hair, wow.

Going to be hard to focus on what I'm shooting at since I'll be wanting to stare at all the pretty ladies.

Nah, fuck that. She's cute, but she reminds me of a little sister from Bioshock.

No, it's all about Double B. My god, that chick is hot.
