  • Bethesda games are usually succesful, Bethesda releases are usually a pile of crap. I can get past the “release $70 garbage and patch it up” model, but I don’t see anything here that makes me want to. I could totally end up loving it - not going to completely write it off based on trailers - but nothing I’m seeing here looks all that interesting.



  • I don’t get the hype… I watched the gameplay trailer and it looks intensely underwhelming. Ignoring the sales jabber, it looks like a big, empty world which, at its best, is a knockoff of No Man’s Sky. They barely show any shots that aren’t the PC staring at a big, uninspired vista or having bland combat in bland sets. Considering how Bethesda releases go, how AAA releaes in general go, and the fact that trailers like these are supposed to OVERsell the game, I’m not really all that interested right now.


  • It’s playable, but I’d learn the controls and interface on a desktop or on a dock with peripherals plugged in first. It’s built for a desktop experience right now, so things feel small on the handheld deck and the mapped controls are a little weird. That being said, I still enjoy it.



  • I don’t think Star Trek works as grand strategy, the lore is too restrictive to really allow for both player choice and the “star trek” feel. ST would be best as an action/adventure game, I think. Basically, fly around to different planets with different themed adventures while building crew relationships just like the shows. Resurgence was supposed to be something along those lines, but it looks disappointing.
