I have been visiting some other blogs today, and reading all the hype for Star Trek Online from some other bloggers.
I have never been a Star Trek fan. I maybe have watched two or three episodes in my whole life, and have never seen any of the movies.
I can give one Star Trek quote "Beam me up Scotty" even though I have the slightest idea what it even references.
I know one of the guys does Priceline commercials now, but that is about all I know about Star Trek.
I can't imagine going into a game not knowing anything about the races, factions, and the whole lore. I am sure 99% of the players who are buying this game are Star Trek fanatics, and will have a competitive advantage by everything they already know about Star Trek.
On top of that I have seen some screenshots today. The game graphics remind me of Champions Online which I thought were very corny looking.
I could never even imagine playing, or buying this game. I wouldn't even buy it off of Steam the day after Xmas for $5. That is how stupid Star Trek Online looks to me.
My prediction is Star Trek Online fails before 2010 ends.
