there such thing as who likes what game and who likes different games,
if you don’t like it and want to continue telling other people who may like it
how bad the game is be quite if you don’t like a game you bla bla bla twice
and keep bla bla sound like a goat. that, how space is in repeat all the time
same thing when you work go to work shit and come home play games.
no different from video game. that’s how space is in real life is Aggressive
and yes you may have to pew pew Lot but who cares war never changes :P

Totally NOT the look and feel of the game.

And, you have WAY too much time on your hands.

Great game, everyone should be playing it. It’s beautiful.

One more time people, i too would love a great Star Trek MMO, but this is not it. The I.P deserves a whole lot more than this.
If you are interested though, please, do yourself a favor and try the game first before you buy.

Not a fair appraisal, just negative.

What about the look and feel of the game during that mission? Absolutely beautiful. And it’s Star Trek.

What about a customized ship and components? Crew?

What about all the missions that are available? Maybe you’ve missed some.

I have a friend that’s level 45 (I’m on 18) and I’m telling him about missions he’s never heard of.

Actionless? While you can’t pull mortal kombat moves on people, it’s still pretty fun beating the crap out of a Klingon then vaporizing him! Not to mention all the different types of equipment you can use on the ground.

To put it bluntly, most the negative people are never going to like the game no matter what.

To anyone else, give it a try, it’s awesome.

@36 – My description of the Doomsday mission was more exciting than the mission itself. I shouldn’t have said “zip” because it implies more action than you’ll find in the entire mission. It is as boring as boring gets.

Seriously, it has NO mood or tension at all. The other ships fighting are just there, background noise at best. You KNOW they aren’t going to destroy it because YOU have the torpedoes, and they play no meaningful role in the battle. Flying through the core to recharge isn’t exciting. The “Phantom Menace” flight-through-the-core scene was a dozen times better, and I HATE that scene!

STO is an all-action game where the action is boring and, well, actionless. Marco at #35 describes it well, and far more bluntly than I have.

As with all reviews, some folks will read my words and say, “It doesn’t sound like my kind of game” and save their money. Others will say, “What a creep!” and spend their money. Either way, I’ve offered an honest and fair appraisal of the game’s qualities at this point (with the admission and hope that it will grow to be as great as it could be).

@31

Funny how you describe all these great things about the Doomsday mission, then say it sucked.

“Go get these torpedoes, go charge them from a planet’s core (yeah, wow, fun) and fire into the Doomsday Machine. Meanwhile, other ships fight with it, too, while you zip back and forth, recharging torps, firing, zipping back”

Sounded like fun to me there. If not the game isn’t for you then.

Krako, i don’t know why you would say this game has lots of content.
This game i a shell, with a pathetic low amount of quests / missions.
To make it even worse, most missions are highly repetitive pew pew missions. No first contacts or interaction with your crew here, just pew pew.
I don’t think it is very nice to tell people lies like that.
And no i am not a power leveler as you so elegantly put it, i maybe played 2 hours a day and maxed my character in two and a half weeks, and in the end there is absolutely nothing to do but a 5 man mission you can repeat over and over again or “explore” which is just a random 1 out of 10 repeatable mission. Most of the times that mission is beam down to boring generic starbase map, access computer, access another computer, access yet another computer, access final computer, done.
Its beyond pathetic and again, anyone here who wants to buy this game, please, try before you buy and check some reviews. You will see that this is nothing but a watered down STC with a chatbox and a subscription requirement attached to it.

Oi. How many times do I have to say it. Bridge Commander + Mass Effect/Story Driven Character based gameplay + an EPIC story that spans the galaxy and includes: Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians, Tholians, Breen, Nausicans, Bajorans, Vulcans and the Federation= The most awesome game i’ve ever played. Get a AAA studio to make it, think Bioware. Jesus, I mean, the concept isn’t that hard. Give us BRIDGE COMBAT i.e. bridge commander. Give us deam down missions that feel important! Give us a complex dialogue tree so you can be a hard ass like Sisko, or a paragon like Picard, or a maverick like Kirk! And then, to top it all off, get some GOOD VOICE ACTORS. You know, like all the former Trek actors who are now doing VO in the gaming industry?! Oh and you know, give the actors some actual stuff to do, rather than the %^#&$%& TUTORIAL!!!!

Oh and BTW I bought the collectors edition of STO last week, awaiting my new computer to play it. ;-D
