OUCH

This is what you get when you defy the law of Autoduel, you circle the drain almost immediately.

Someone who keeps track of this things please answer: which one was faster to offer a free trial, AA or DDO?

Drunk Schild commands me to respond:

DDO.

As the one who entered the fray defending Auto Assault, I'll admit I got bored pretty fast of AA after some days of childish fun.

To be fair to myself, in that defense I stated that I loved the game but the monthly fee was unjustified.
I still think that way. It can sists on everyone's hard disk for months ready for those 10 minutes of destruction without shame. Would be a perfect mindless quick game, if it wasn't for the monthly fee. Now what were they thinking?

Ironically, I heard pretty much the same about DDO. It could be be a mildly nice CRPG, if it wasn't for the monthly fee.

Fuck them. WILL YOU CRAFT ME SOME AGGRO REDUCTION WHEELS PLEASE? MORE DOTS!

Fuck you, Netdevil....

Is a raid in that game 40 cars taking on an 18-wheeler?

Optimus Prime group forming PST.

I heard the client is many Gigabytes, I think I'll start downloading it tonight and just leave the computer on until I wake up.

Worst, worst than that.
For reasons unknown, every time you apply a patch, the client DEMANDS 5 free gigabytes on your hard disk. Regardless the size of the patch.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

There are no raids at the moment in AA.
Even simple grouping (Convoy) it's 99% useless and not needed.

They are summoning big raid bosses for the next patches, apparently.

Transformers! More than meets the eye!

I'd be tempted to give it a try, but I just can't be fucking bothered downloading and installing these things anymore...

I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE.

Is all that coming out of your car's butt?

Yeah, and it was a requested feature too (rear firing weapons that is).

That's actually a form of land mine.  That shoots fire, of course.

As long as you can shoot fire out of your butt, it's all good.

Well, except it seems, it's not...

I totally thought that would be a link to the Starforce website.

Mmm. Starforce would be the Russian answer to Seed (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=6767.0).

Sorry, but someone had to do it...
