New "Star Trek" game for consoles

[ChrisMC]

Yeah, I've been playing it. A bit glitchy, and the co-op I did with my wife was pretty frustrating. So far it's about an average game.

Here's a fairly scathing review: http://www.polygon.com/game/star-trek/7743

My favourite line has nothing to do with the game:

Chris Pine is just a regular guy from L.A. who happens to be physically without fault and whose dad was on CHiPs.

We need more scathing reviews. These games being published is just....grrrr.

Aliens, Star Trek, Star Wars...after all of these clunk failures, I'd just rather the movie industry quit making games for their franchises. It's pretty obvious they don't care about making a good product. Just scam everyone for every bit they're worth and call it a day.

Getting sick of this...

I have this on order at Steam, is it out yet?

Yup, it's out. There was a review embargo until release day (most likely to avoid bad PR).

I'm still going to get it for the PC, I liked ALIENS: Colonial Marines. My bar is set at "Did I have fun?" and the answer was yes for that game.

Well, good luck. I've already said my piece on CM. I refuse to get it. If you try co-op in Star Trek, don't sit there waiting too long for a co-op partner, it sounds like you could be there for hours.

I don't play co-op, I have zero interest in having an experience with other gamers online. You are always such a ray of sunshine, Tim. :)

Co-Op in this game is so frustrating I wouldn't bother. The single player experience is pretty average at best, not what I was expecting from the developer saying this wasn't a "throwaway licensed game". Since I paid 60 bucks I get to complain. I'm going to continue to play it, mainly because I never leave anything started unfinished. But I'm more interested in playing Injustice. THAT is a fun, licensed game that knows how to utilize the characters and gives the fanbase something that makes sense. A duck and cover shooter like Gears of War (not anywhere near as good) does not scream Trek to me. Just my educated opinion.

Yup, Trek games should focus on using your mind, shooting as a last resort when you're backed into a corner. I said it on FB, I'll say it here. I want an episodic Telltale-style adventure Trek game.

That's a great idea. Telltale knows how to make a great adventure game. I know they're working on season two of the Walking Dead, but I'd love to see them do a Trek game.

I want to shot shit.

[billybob476]

Zzzzzap!

[ChrisMC]

I wouldn't even mind if it's a shooting game if it's well thought out, and offered a REAL difference between playing Kirk and Spock. I imagine and action game in the vein of Mass Effect, that kind of depth in a Trek game would be incredible.

Angry Joe review, funny how he caught the fake user reviews. NAUGHTY LANGUAGE.
