Star Trek - I don't even...

[aris]

Looks like shit

Looks like shit

And then if the entire Codex bashes it after release you'll be defending it.

 

[aris]

Not very likely.

I'm confused. I thought most of the Star Trek movies were pretty shitty. Seems that 2009 was par for the course.

The Star Trek movies were quite shitty, but the 2009 film was made specifically to appeal to people who look like this:

Hence, it is downright offensive on top of being shit.

Nah, with its subverted, ironic take on Star Trek, I think the movie was more trying to appeal to this people:

 

[aris]

They were trying to appeal to codexers?

 

[Gord]

Oh you...

Dexter , I never saw Final Unity before, but that clip makes me want to play it. My mom is nearing 60 and is retired, so she has a lot of free time. She has been watching all the Star Trek reruns and loves them. I mentioned how I liked Star Trek: Starfleet Command and she just purchased the game. o_O I don't know if she can even install it. I mean, she used to kick my butt with Pong and Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 when I was 8, but that was some time ago. I'm heading over in a couple of weeks and am going to load Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Edition for her and Judgement Rights since I think they'll be more her speed. I'll show her a bit of Star Trek: Starfleet Command and while I'm at it, I'll see if I can find Star Trek: Final Unity. Too bad GOG doesn't have it...

Back on topic, that new game looks like shit.

 

[Psquit]

Meh, the game looks like shit make this clip glorious.

 

[bertram_tung]

A Final Unity was glorious.

This new game looks like everything bad in movies and games all wrapped up into one bleeding scrotum turd.

Judgement Rites.

Interplay's TOS games are better than A Final Unity in terms of writing, story and puzzles IMO, but be warned, their user interface is kind of weird/clunky. Music and sound effects tend to be minimalistic (although the CD-ROM versions have voice acting by the original cast which is awesome)

This glorious masterpiece from creators of the fabulous Bioshock 2 is coming fast so here's a little something for y'all games afficionados.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Digital Extremes only made the multiplayer portion of BS2. Aka the "noone gives a shit about this" portion of the game.

FINALLY someone gets what Star Trek is about. The Codex is full of faggots that think the 2009 movie was awesome. Or they're just trolling. Can't discount that.

The 2009 movie was NOTHING like Star Trek. For starters it was actually slightly enjoyable to watch, unlike the banalshitboring shows Trekkies have been lapping up for decades.

That statement amounts to: "Mass Effect 3 was actually enjoyable to play, unlike all the stupid stuffy RPGs of old with ugly graphics and boring combat".

Yes ST 2009 was colourful, flashy and "dynamic", but utterly without soul, character, depth or a smidge of an original thought. Don't get me wrong, Star Trek as a whole is no timeless masterpiece of shakespearean import but one or two movies and a couple of episodes are genuinely great sci-fi pieces with a great deal of added value to the standard shooty spacey romp. ST 2009 is just a cotton candy.

 

[Lyric Suite]

A cotton candy made out of flossed strands of shit.

Nah. Saying all RPGs are similar to Mass Effect is like saying all Sci-Fi is similar to Star Trek. And there's plenty of good Sci-Fi around. Star Trek just isn't it.

It's like saying Mask of the Betrayer actually had an interesting plot, unlike the shite that was NWN2 OC and SoZ.

Meh. Digital Extremes are devs for hire. Decently talented but not surprising a lot of their stuff is ho-hum considering it's usually made on a budget and with a strict timeframe. They can't control whether something is a cheap cash-in or not. Their work is overall pretty good considering what they have to work with most of the time.

 

[tuluse]

Where? Especially in video form.

They made Darkness 2 which is surprisingly good. The Warframe F2P game they made is also decent.

This is. Fucking. Hilarious.
Kenneth Lindenbaum ftw.

O.o? RU ? Have you even seen the video?

Jeeeesus.

He's more likely referring to the situation shown than Easily-Amused Joe's comedic touch.

No, i instant closed it the moment his face showed up. I don't think there's anyone in the gaming "biz" that i despise more then that guy.

 

[Zewp]

He's the most fucking annoying person in the gaming journalism scene. I actually wouldn't mind if he dies under mysterious circumstances.

"oh look at me I'm so angry I'm taking it up the butt from a lot of publishers I'm so angry cheque please."
