Star Trek Online please don’t be another Champions Online
I have to admit that one of the games I am looking forward to in 2010 is Cryptic’s, Star Trek Online.
Some might wonder why the single most popular science fiction franchise in the history of media has taken so long to be turned into an MMO, myself included — But I think it’s a better use of our efforts to instead not speculate too much on the why of it but rather to channel that raw emotion and energy into the heart felt desire for STO to not suck.
Let’s be honest here, Cryptic Studios is very good at bringing out games that look kinda keen, but have zero long term playability. City of Heroes and City of Villains suffered from this, and the successor Champions Online (City of Champions?) was even worse. They looked great, but for whatever reason they just didn’t have the sticking power to keep players interested.
Will STO be the same thing? Look good initially and maybe be fun for a week or two, but rapidly drag down into a grind-tastic mess? God I hope not..
