So it’s supposed to snow for the next, like, 48 hours solid bringing around 24 inches of cold insanity with it. I have finished Mass Effect 2 and have no Bioshock 2 to take it’s place. (Yeah, I think I should have slowed down on that one.) So what am I to do with all this time on my hands and locked indoors. I guess I could spend time with my family…….yeah well We know I do that enough and Snow time is Game time! Yesterday we had gone to the mall to take care of some appointments and I just happened to walk into the Gamestop, you know, by accident. There I see it, the Star Trek Online box, just calling to me. The following is the conversation that took place:
Me: Ooooo STO! And Look at all the stuff you get!
Sarah: So if you want it, get it!
Me: But… But… Wait a sec, why aren’t you fighting me on this?
Sarah: Am I supposed to tell you not to get it? If you buy it, then I will get to play it too!
Me: I Love You!
So safe and warm did STO come with me home and get installed. I managed to Create Captain Boothby of the U.S.S Wizzer last night and began my exploration of the galaxy (the other galaxy, not the one I just finished saving from the Reaper/Collector attacks, you know, so we can keep this straight.) I am not sure I am ready for a good enough review at this point, so here are a few key points that I have found so far.
- Upon loading into the game I noticed that the first Intro mission was Glitchy as all hell. At first I thought my system wasn’t good enough to handle it, but when I got to the rest of the game it ran just fine. The only thing I could think of is that That certain battle had WAY too much going on it it and it over taxed the system. But I guess that’s a good way to weed out people eh?
- Flying your ship looks Amazing. The graphics are outstanding. I would put this about half way between EVE Online and the Space side of Star Wars Galaxies. Your control over the ship is a bit more hands on and granular than Eve, but not as twitchy at SWG.
- The ground game is not bad. It probably could use a little more polish, but it’s new so I will give it a chance. Nothing has stood out as “bad”, but nothing amazed me either (unlike the space side)
- I have had the chance to do a variety of missions and it plays out like “Episodes” of the show. You can do Diplomatic missions, combat stuff, and exploring and sciency type things. So there is something for everyone!
I think that will do for now. Feel free to message me in game if you would like and remember to stay warm!
