Auto Assault

Hey all,

I bought Auto Assault and been playin it for a few weeks now. And I'm sadly disappointed with it. I got to about lvl 10, and did abotu a million Drive here, get stuck on this rut here, call ICS, get put back, drive back, kill X critters. Get reward.

I found the population to be HIGHLY untalkative. This is NOT a "multiplayer" mmorpg from what i've found.

Graphics and char creation are decent. But all in all, this is just another mmorpg in a face paced action costume.

Maybe the game would be fun if people actually talked and interacted.  I gotta give it a 4/10. Maybe in a few months once they update it a bunch it'll be better...

TOTALLY disagree on what you said. I play for more than a month now and still having fun with it. Untalkative community is quite untrue as if you are a good boy / girl enough, head to the boards.autoassault.com and seek for a clan in war room section.

I joined a clan and since that day, i felt no more lonely. . . I felt the same like you when i first bought the game but after awhile.. things changed.

As I near the end of my trial I am begining to agree with you. Once the novelty wears off its just another typical MMO a bit more creative than normal, but nothing extremly special. Depending on what direction they go this might be a great game down the line after they have added in more player interactive content. You just don't feel like you are a part of a living breathing world and that is what MMO's are suppose to be about.

Maybe if I would have joined a clan as the above poster suggested it would have been a bit different. I am not totally turned off by this game just didn't get the level of enjoyment I was looking for sustained over a long period of playing which is what gets a person to plunk down $15 to keep playing.

You don't like AA?  Hey no crime there, to each their own.  I like it.

However, I'm not sure why you saw the need to take it a step further and claiming AA is not an MMO.  That just cheapens your review and makes you sound like fanboi of a different game.  Not saying you are, but that is the impression it gives.

AA is in fact an MMO whether you enjoy it or not.  There are few players, the servers are empty and sometimes the chat channels are quiet.  So it is an MMO that unfortunately is struggling to attract new players.  But, it IS an MMO.  Maybe I am being nit-picky, hey it is still early and I need coffee

I havent tried the game yet, but used to play Interstate back in the good ole days of computers.

If its anything like that game, I am pretty sure I will enjoy it. And pics/movies reminds me of that old game twisted metal during my college years

Unfortantely I dont have time to play any mmo's now due to RL situations (wife, kids, pets and the whole white picket fence stuff). I forgot to mention my computer system is down till my buy myself a new gaming pc system as well. Ahh

My laptop just doesnt cut it with some of the games out there now and still playing Ultima Online casually.

But once I get that nice paycheck, I may have to check this one out myself on my new pc.

As a leading member of the AA community, and opperating a Dedicated Radio Station to the community. I have to agree with the comments about the silence of the community. The game is very single player, there is no need to enter into convoys. The game is quite simple over all (unless your a mutant which suffers from a lack of quests [many broken or missing]).

Give it some time, the next big patch (the first since going live) Should do a lot to fix the problems.

It's definately different depending on server/zone/time.  Sometimes you will find people chatting, and sometimes it does appear to be quite dead.  One of the things that holds back chat from AA is the combat system.  It's very involved and you don't have time to stop and chat while you're in combat.  This is very different from most of the click and wait MMOs where you can easily throw in some chatter.  Unless you're on your way to or from combat you're not going to be able to chat it up with the locals.

Also, the game isn't for everyone, and we can all understand that.  It is however a very fun and unique game.  Maybe give it more time to get into it and get accustomed to how things work.  Level 10 is good and all, but you could really get into the game more, particularly if you find a good guild to join.  It's the same in that aspect as other MMOs.  If you are with a good group of people, it makes the game and its social aspects a TON better and a lot more fun.  Hopefully you'll give AA more time.  We could use all the good mature players we can get...
