I’m hoping Academy will be better than I expect, but I don’t disagree with this analysis (stipulating that I’ve yet to watch any of Prodigy). I think most of the high regard for SNW is a result of how dismal DIS and PIC were. I enjoy it, but it’s pretty shallow in comparison with any of the older series. Style over substance, as a rule.
I have to assume this series will be terrible, just in self-defense. I was really bummed out by how bad I thought Discovery was, and I don’t want to be burned like that again.
Broke my normal rule of waiting for a 50% discount (or better) and picked up KCD2. I’ve just been mainlining it. It’s a bigger, better version of the first game (which I loved, hence the early purchase), and picks up right where that one left off. No complaints, except maybe that horseshoes are a pain in the ass to forge.
It does seem like an odd time for a Voyager tie-in game. Reminds me of an upcoming game I saw in my Steam queue the other day that’s based on Mars Attacks!. Flipping Mars Attacks!!? What could be more relevant? Really striking while the iron’s hot with that one.
Anyhow, I hope it does well. I don’t think it’s for me, but I’m all for more Star Trek games. Resurgence is pretty great, imo.
Yeah, it didn’t really make any sense that they turned into Vulcans and somehow also acquired a Vulcan education.
I’ve yet to shell out for any trek merch, excepting games (ok, one time I bought a bootleg darmok and jalad shirt online, but they’d misspelled tanagra on it, which was a bummer). I did thoroughly enjoy Resurgence on PC, though. You’re basically playing through an episode of Trek, post-Dominion War.
You shift perspectives from scene to scene, alternately playing as the newly arrived XO of a science vessel, or an enlisted engineer. It’s well-written, with believable characters, and lots of weighty choices. It’s mostly talking and doing science and diplomacy, with some action and the odd stealth section. I, a random internet denizen, recommend it.
He really lost it when Daphne ran off, poor man. First that awful collection, and now this?
I listened to a bit of the Giant Bombcast years ago. Thank you, I’ll check out Nextlander Watch!
How’s Mission Log these days? Haven’t listened since just after Ken’s departure. Don’t listen to Greatest Gen anymore either, which has sadly left me bereft of Trek podcasts
I feel like it’d be canon for him to be Naomi Wildman’s first officer.
This is hilariously plausible.
I give China the benefit of the doubt because they are, at least, claiming to be a Marxist state. This on its own puts them above any non-Marxist state.
This is a spectacularly stupid assertion. Like, we’re talking trumpian levels of idiocy here. Y’all tankies really want to make horseshoe theory a thing.
Unless a game looks right up my alley, “mixed” and below is usually an automatic skip to the next thing in the discovery queue.
