Obviously, many folks don’t share my view point, but it is my view point and I am entitled to express it.
I can’t but say thank you to Cryptic for putting out a Star Trek game that actually works and is fun to play. What a change from the norm when it comes to Star Trek. So often the name is used to lure folks and then a product is put out that is mediocre. That upsets fans, they stop buying, and then investors can’t figure out what happened and blame some other cause for the failure. Not, this time around STO is a winner.
I am throughly enjoying the game at this point. Yes, the servers do come down and there are some glitches. I have had to restart the same mission twice now and it’s a thirty minute mission to complete, so I share people’s frustration of the pre-release period. Then again, that’s why it’s a head start, not to give fans a special get in front of people that didn’t buy a pre-order, but rather a safety net to ensure that actual release runs smoothly. Kind of a final beta, but truth be told most MMO’s never get out of beta as they are continually tweaked and upgraded through the life of the game. Actually, I fully expect that the game will be evolving with new features and various other items tweaking the game universe and game play over time.
I haven’t been this excited or pleased since SWG came out. There are a number of folks at Cryptic that are old SWG players. Let us hope they bring with them the lesson of once the game is the game, don’t just change it into the game it was never meant to be.
Anyhow, I am very please with STO from game mechanics, the great image displays, the smooth operation of the system and the terrific music. It all give’s a great Star Trek feel. I have yet to feel any mission is a “grind” it all fun times! Is the game perfect? Ha, Ha, tis to laugh at such a comment, but I am having fun. Keep up the great work!
Remember the words of Admiral Forester “Now, don’t screw up.”
Thanks again.
