This game has the same thing going for it that SWG, WoW, and LotR did. It has a very popular franchise label that will automatically give it life of a few years. To compare this to TR is insane. This game will bring in thousands of MMORPG newbies who have never touched the genre only because of their love of Star Trek. Some of them will stay, some of them will go, but Star Trek has such a loyal following, it's going to give this game extended life whether or not it's a polished or flawed product.
Truth... however unfortunate as it might be.
With the millions of keys they gave out to try the game it isn't going to be hard to find a nice collection Star Trek loving suckers who will drop $50 for the box and $300 for the Lifetime Subscription. I love Star Trek but I know a POS game when I see one. I refuse to pay Cryptic to provide me with something that a Macro could run through.
Level of interest in excuses by game developers and fanbois as to the terrible state of game development. --- Previous Games: E&B, SWG, GW, COX, EVE, TR, LOTRO, CO Currently Playing: Nothing - WTB sandbox games!
Hey, I like decent games, but can I jump on the random hate wagon too? I'm sure I can find some insignificant slight to blow out of proportion and bitch about. Or I can just complain about CO even though I haven't played it and it has no bearing on this game 8D! Please guys! I want to be part of the club too!
Well all I know is that I am enjoying the hell out of the beta. Easy to get into, and lots of fun. Great to look at as well. But keep it coming wise ones of the all seeing future! BTW, I am not even a Star Trek fan.
And thats pretty much a guarantee at this point in time unless some things drastically change very soon lol.
Agree. Though I think it might do better in subs - there are a lot of MMO noobs drawn in my Star Trek and since they are new, or newish, to MMOs much of the normal in STO is new to them so it might do better with them. But, in the end, STO is Champion's through and through - for better or worse.
