Star Trek Online is coming to Consoles
Hopefully they've cut down on the amount of grinding fleets have to do and have made upgrades more flexible for smaller fleets. The problem the original faced, when I still played, was that only the mega-fleets were able to progress their bases and I don't see this as getting even close to the amount of player numbers on console as had been on the PC at one point.
I had never watched an ounce of Star Trek and found STO to be tons of fun when I played it how ever many years ago on PC. Now, as someone who has recently gotten into the series, thoroughly enjoys it (seriously, I freaking love this show), and doesn't have a gaming pc anymore, I actually find this news to be really exciting.
I'll probably never play an MMO again, not even for Star Trek. There is grinding in games, then there are mmos which take it to ludicrous levels.
I actually have never really looked at this game until the trailer in the OP link ... it, uh, sure looks like a PC MMO from 2010. There's nothing wrong with that, but it still seems like an odd choice to put the game out on consoles now.
Maybe as a lifetime member I'll check it out, damn I was an idiot with my money sometimes.
Hey, I got my money's worth out of my lifetime purchase, and in the two years since I played it actively I've gotten enough cryptic points to buy whatever I want in the store, if there ever was a ship I'd actually want.
I think STO could be a decent fit for consoles. It always had halfway implemented gamepad controls, maybe this'll make them fully implement gamepad on PC as well.
Hey!! That's wicked!! I'm stoked actually. Love me some Star Trek. Heard decent things about this mmo. But I'm a console gamer. This is awesome news for me. Seems like a great way to really get into an MMO. And the Star Trek part is just icing on the cake.
So many of my IRL friends want to play STO but don't have PC capable of running it. I'll finally be able to play it with them.
I don't so much care for Star Trek, but maybe this will open doors for more MMOs on consoles apart from what we already have. I'd love to see a sequel to LOTRO or a version of that come to consoles. I'd play through that again.
