Auto Asault GONE GOLD

supposedly the last few months the game has really come together. I got in early on and it didnt do anything for me.

My $0.02 after the free beta weekend:
- Ton of fun to drive around killing stuff and the combination of people/monsters/vehicles/helpless buildings to asplode was cool
- The airlift thing was very cool -- basically call for a plane to come pick you up & take you to a base whenever you're in trouble.
- Saw no point whatsoever in grouping at any time -- like the polar opposite of D&D Online, which beats solo players severely about the head and shoulders
- Walking around in towns & whatnot? 100% completely pointless -- just a time sink to make you waste minutes walking from one NPC or kiosk to the next (all while soaking in the worst -- WORST -- animations I've seen in a game in years. Oh my god they're bad)
- The game is OK looking if you squint your eyes and drive really fast, but the characters, the cars & most of the scenery is really, really ugly. Graphics look very dated and the game isn't out yet.
- The crafting system... WTF? It makes the manufacturing in EVE Online seem streamlined and simplistic.
- The cars make my eyes bleed. Seriously, I think they took all of the least popular, poorest selling Hot Wheels cars from 1982 and used them as reference material for their designs.
- If this game were like Guild Wars (buy for $50, play for free & buy "expansions" later) I'd probably play it. There just isn't enough to this game to merit the $15/month

Had some good fun with the beta over the two weekends I was able to try it (despite being in the beta since like... WoW beta, lawl)

However, no way I'm paying $15 a month for that quality of experience. Good luck Net Devil :P

Strange, I feel completely opposite to all of the comments here...
AA is like my perfect MMO.
I tried playing EverQuest, meh
I tried playing DDO, meh
I tried playing Anarchy Online, meh
I tried playing Star Wars Galaxies, meh
I tried playing Eve, well it was OK, but not great...
WoW is the only game I enjoyed, although I could feel it grabbing me with its bony hands and dragging me into addiction zone, so I had to stop...Still, I lot of things felt like a chore :(

But I love AA. Dunno why, probably cause I don't feel grinding one bit. I zoom through the landscape, constantly firing, jumping of the clips, having pets do all the killings, blowing up shit, and having loot drop constantly...Even if its some stupid commodity I will never use, its still very rewarding to pick it up. Its not like WoW where you spend 30 seconds bashing a zombie and don't get a thing in the end. In AA, everything drops something (buildings, monsters, lamp posts, barrels, etc.) Dunno it makes any sense, but I love it.

The graphics is pretty advanced, imo. It has really nice fire effects (ala Doom 3). Cars shine, gorgeous weather effects, car silhouette wobbles when under water, every zone feels different (they had different developer groups working of each zone).

$50 for the game and $15 a month and they still want to put ads in there? I'm going to pass.

DOA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played the beta for a few days before I realized it's just WoW... IN A CAR!!!

... which was cool, for a little while. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't burnt out on WoW, but it got boring pretty quick as it was.

Hmm, been playing it for a few hours a week in the last month and if they think this is ready for shipping I want some of their stash, cause I'm all out of what I've been smoking.

So what exactly are the monthly fees going towards with this game? Does your car level up? Are there dungeons?

Sorry to be the Nazi here:

"Assault"

I dont know about the actual gameplay, but the basis for this games retarted.

I've had better brainstorms on the shitter.

Next time they have a free weekend, or a buddy code, I'll give it another try.

I did the beta weekend, and it was sort of fun, but didnt feel like it had a 'soul'... seemed fairly flat and without much depth. (note, I may be jaded by WoW).
