03.04.2010 - 04:34 | DisinformationThe Battle I ever wanted
I wonder if the Spoon is really capable of speaking Klingon.
But nonetheless I am very impressed by his sheer force of acting.

There's an episode of the Spoony Experiment of him learning Klingon from the FMV "Star Trek: Klingon."

I guess in this battle...no one won...
that was an awesome review and it's a shame that that STO got a six, lets hope there are improvements to be made in later patches or updates.
-
03.04.2010 - 04:31 | The SingularityFreaking hilarious. I agree that the STO was underwhelming but this approach to review the game is awesome. Spoontock is freaking hilarious. However I couldn't help but notice that a smoke effect after attack was misplaced, howeveer it was funny nevertheless.

Spoontok for emperor!
Totally agree joe, i was dissapointed too, but i hear that an update is coming.
Still, probably should have had its own game engine.

That was great and Im not even a Star Trek fan, bar the 2009 movie
As for the game, I had heard that the combat was repetitive and that it should only be bought but the most ardent treky. Lucky you have Bioware and TOR to fall back on Joe, after Mass Effect 2 I am even more hyped over Biowares first steps into MMO's

Bioware can make a good single player RPG. However, making a good MMO requires constant developer communication, good community management, constant balancing (and a willingness to take the heat for doing so), and I'm not sure Bioware can pull that part of it off.
Making a single-player game and making a multi-player game are 2 different things.

This was just silly. Informative and well put together, but silly. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Where's Spoony gonna pop up next, I wonder?

Agree 100% my additions:
* Remove the freakishly large turbo lift doors and interiors.
* Uniforms are called uniforms because they're uniform, dammit.
* Real 3D space?
* Why does the universe feel so much like TOS with all the conflicts only much more stupid and forced?

Love it! Spoony and you are both HILARIOUS! :lol: :lol: :lol: Also love the reboot music paired with the oldschool action shots, nicely done!

It seems all of Joe's worries about STO came true. I'll stick to the first two Starfleet Command games, they actually give you storylines to all races.

Kewl, another epic video from Epic Joe. Personally, I don't care much for MMOs, but playing a Star Trek game with Joe's recommendations would be great. Looks like the game developers just weren't interested in presenting a true Star Trek experience, where you can engage in diplomacy and exploration.
Maybe some day I'll give Star Trek Online a go. I can't wait to, um ... hose down those holodecks?

I agree with Al1701. First two Starfleet Command games were perfect ST games.
-
03.04.2010 - 13:17 | Al1701Actually, they were Starfleet Universe games based on Starfleet Battles, but still a much better experience than this seems to be.
Though, I can understand why you can't play as every single race and no story mode for Klingons. It comes down to ship types. Most of the races have only a couple of ship classes making playing as them somewhat limited. They need to expand the fleet variety of all the races.

The corbomite maneuver was an obvious choice. :cheer:

Did you not see his Klingon (DVD/Audio Book) review?
He's 100% fluent LOL. /Sarcasm.
Also keep checking their forums, those new Engineering Logs will hopefully add some more transparency between the team and the public.

03.04.2010 - 07:52 | pinckzEh... My Dad loves it and is a Die Hard Trekkie --- Well, in some respects.
They did say they are going to add in a ton of stuff later, some of which might be the ship interiors. I believe I heard my dad talking about that.
-
03.04.2010 - 07:57 | GalivenWhen Spoontok said 'Distrucity', I had to pause the video, I couldn't stop laughing! Oh, Ultamite Spoony, will that ever get old?

Joe is really good in those crossover events. Personally, I think he needs a sidekick, kinda like Doctor House bouncing off ideas.
Excellent cosplay as usual from Spoony.
When is Joe gonna use the scouter? Hope to see it soon. The video was fun.
-
03.04.2010 - 09:01 | HvatiI agree with you fully Joe, STO could have been so much more, but insted, it's nothing but a shell of a game...

To quote Samoa Joe fans: "Joe's gonna kill you! Joe's gonna kill you!" lol
Dude, that was epic : D

I don't like Star Trek but you can't pass up on a Spoony/AJ face-off.
The fact that review/top five was so well put together is just a bonus.
-
03.04.2010 - 09:50 | CrazyChris576
Epic review, Joe! I love it!
-
03.04.2010 - 09:52 | Fluffyman
Liked the use of Michael Giacchino's score from the latest movie.
Unfortunately Joe seemed to have gotten more damage than we think, something bad has happened to his computer.
-
I wasn't interested in this game b/c it's an MMO and Star Trek's boring. Another maggot in the turd: weapons go pew-pew.
Destrucity.
You want dialog options in a MMO? Then play Old Republic.
-
03.04.2010 - 12:31 | Pheonix_bluAtually I thought this was more entertaining than a lot of the "Next Generation" and "Voyager" television episodes, which I grew up on. Forget video games, I think you guys should creat a T.V. spoof! :cheer:
-
03.04.2010 - 12:36 | PublicEnemy
I gotta admit joe, I kinda saw this comin after the way ya kept hypin up the game.
Not anything against you of course, and there isnt anything wrong with lookin forward to a game. Usually tho, if ya hype a game up too much for yourself, the game most likely wont reach your expectations (even if said game is good).
Besides that, great vid, loved the cross over with spoony (seems everyone wants a piece of thespoonyone in their videos now hahah). Hopefully the developers will listen to this. Lets hope these developers are the kind that listen to fans and not the kind that take fan suggestions and throw it in a fire

I was waiting for the "destrucity" reference.
-
03.04.2010 - 12:59 | MacBorisWe Klingons truly are the ultimate warriors of the galaxy.

I have more faith in Bioware than Cryptic.
It’s strange, Star Wars the Old Republic will have more variety when it comes to problem solving than STO. Like how you can talk the captain around to your side or kill him. If it’s anything like KOTOR then your stats, job, or class could give you different options. You’d think Star trek would be more likely to have that option where Star wars is simply go blow everything up.
It might have worked if they made the starting faction the Maquis instead. It would have made more sense to have a more ruff and tumble, shoot first style. You could have had literally any ship any species, and it would have made more sense to have a rookie captain.
-
03.10.2010 - 01:12 | RaiderRich2001There's some fundamental differences in between a single player RPG and an MMORPG. Bioware's never made an MMO and from what they've shown so far it looks like they're just making the same game they've always made.
They've never had to grow and nurture a community. I've read their forums and it looks like the crowd that wants to play this game are the same kinds of immature a-holes that currently play World of Warcraft.
They've never had to communicate a game balance change to a bunch of nerd-raging fanboys (and if you think Star Trek fans are nerd raging now, Star Wars fans are 10 times worse).
They've never had to deal with gold farmers.
They've never had to deal with exploiters.
They've never had to deal with griefers.
-
03.11.2010 - 20:05 | LanYou're right and wrong.
Bioware it's self has never had an MMO, but they are part of EA games and they have. Warhammer for example.
Anyways, you're argument against Bioware is that only companies that have released MMO's in the past can do it right, which doesn't make any sense. For all you know half their team are veterans of creating and running MMO's hired from other companies.
Oh, and making the kind of games they always make is no detriment. I think Mass Effect 2 demonstrates a lot of what's going to show up in SWTOR. I hope when they get SWTOR off the ground they think about a Mass Effect MMO.
It's a good thing Bioware is taking a chance and not just making another WoW clone.
