Basically you pay money to get more in-game fancy currency (one out of the zillion 'credits' that actually matters) that you can use to buy keys to get random stuff out of the lockboxes the game showers you with at every opportunity. It's like those coin-operated turn-the-crank machines that dispense capsules containing random, generally crap toys, except with pixels, and drat near every game has them now because it's not gambling if you can't get real money back.

I think they're wondering why a game needs 22GB one day then half that the next and takes all day to update itself.

It probably has to have initial patches from the original install, and then just luck off the draw a new patch hit the next day

I'm still thinking of what the real abilities should be on any self aware star trek card game game. Kirk and Riker obviously have some sort of sex appeal ability. Q has his deus ex machina ability which just let's him do whatever is convenient. Beverly Crusher heals people but also needs a sex candle ability. Playing the Neelix card automatically makes you lose the game. Garak needs some sneaky ability like a trap card or make your opponent play a card. Dukat let's you win the game obviously. Or maybe an "Attention Bajoran workers!" ability. Chakotay has the "fail to make them fire you ability" Geordi and Harry Kim have the opposite of whatever Kirk and Riker's abilities are.

I found some cool older trek games online too, I was trying to play the 25th anniversary game but for the life of me I can't figure out how to fight this romulan ship. I can see on the lil radar screen thing where it is and when it's coming at me, I know how to raise Shields and power weapons and I think I'm firing the phasers correctly, but I spent like 20-30 minutes trying to shoot down this romulan ship and I'm positive I was doing something wrong, the stupid thing just kept flying at me, I'd try to keep it onscreen and shoot it but nothing would really happen. it's embarrassing too because this game is like ancient as hell and it's still too complicated for me

Nah dude, old games can be pretty hard because you didn't get tutorials, tool tips, and there was like zero standardization of controls. Totally shouldn't feel bad. I gave up on that game after 10 minutes because I just don't have the patience for old stuff much anymore

The two best Star Trek games were Elite Force for letting you vaporize the crew of the Voyager or the TNG Adventure game where I never got past the first level because the alien probe kept shooting Geordi in the face. The actual best game though is Armada 2. The shows should have gone all out with borg sticking 8 cubes together into fusion cubes and poo poo.

Being a Borg drone seems pretty cool I mean you get told what to do and probably only one thing at a time instead of having your boss text you on your phone asking you if you saw the email she just sent you and why haven't you responded yet, constantly.

When it comes to oldskool adventure games I think it's cool to check out poo poo from good ol' gamefaqs, some of the stuff is deliberately obtuse to act as a form of copy protection ie. you have to have the manual to make any sense of things. Also in some games (Sierra Online, gently caress you) puzzles are deliberately a bit random and insta-deathy to encourage buing hint books and calling expensive hintlines before the Interwebs made both instantly redundant. The 25th Anniversary Game has some fun missions and feels like a series of really tight TOS episodes. It even lets you think of multiple solutions to puzzles while keeping track of how Trekky your way of going about things is. Punches and genocide: bad, logic and empathy: good and so on, it's fun and holds up well, I think! e: poo poo didn't notice the page had changed, oh well barbecue at the folks fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Apr 6, 2018 |

One of the best star trek games ever is Stellaris with with Star Trek conversion mod. I dare anyone to play that and not immediately play as the Cardassians and enslave Bajor.

For more real time strategy shenanigans, I think Sins of A Solar Empire and maybe the new Homeworld remasters have Trek mods too.

You're actually all wrong because the best Trek game was Bridge Commander I'd play that game today with an updated texture pack.

Starfleet Academy was great. I rented it so many times. The last level is the Kobayashi Maru which of course is unwinnable (you can put a cheat code in before starting the game to make it winnable)
