This isnt going to turn out like Stargate Worlds is turning out.. right?

[Perfect_Pain]

Stargate SG1 was my fav show on tv for, like ever... and I loved the original movie.. and so when I saw they were makin an MMO.. I got all excited..

and now it looks really sucky.. like Tabula Rasa mixed with a broken skateboard..

Now.. I have enjoyed Star Trek through all bazillion movies.. and watched most of the old tv shows at some point in my life..

My question is.. Is this game going to be a ranged shooter?

.. I hate shooters :(

[KL0k]

no it wont be. since the dev is a fan of star trek himself, i would place a bet that it will be a good game and not just a lame "pew pew i owned you"-mmo

[Elfender]

SG Worlds is FAR from finished though...still in late alpha phase testing.

[Rattletrap]

-STO is far from finished as well. I tend to be patient with IP-heavy games and wait until i play the public release before passing judgment. So, when SG comes out, and when STO comes out, i say let's play.

Im darn sure we wont see robocop/halo armor in STO

I'm soooo glad that somebody else has mentioned this rather than me make a thread about it...i've seen the videos of SGW and it lost all it's appeal to me.

It just does'nt FEEL like Stargate.

That being said as somebody else mentioned that Jack is a fan of star trek and so he knows what he's doing :

Stargate Is not stargate.. Its something else all together now.. and I really think they should change the name.. People have Call of Duty for their Co-Op shooter needs.. I just dont see how an MMO shooter is going to work out.. and the graphics while supposed to be Unreal Engine 3 look like WoWs original craptastic graphics.. Anyways, I dont even need to play that MMO now.. Its a fake.

And I dont want this game to turn into a sham either.

Star Gate Worlds isn't out and you've branded it as bad... that is sad. SGW is not just a ranged shooter it will play with various elements from conventional gaming.
Humans will play as tank (soldier w/ ranged), scout (commando), as well as two specialty class Archeologist and Scientist which will be able to get involved in combat but will special in different areas. Like Scientist taking alien tech and using it to nuke and Archy playing a lil of an enchant role.

Like wise Jaffa will have a more melee oriented builds, but can developed in different ways. From ranged to moderate to melee focus.

Asgard are combination healer, summoner (with their drones), and nuker (orbital platforms)

Goa'uld will be enchanter (like Hathor or Seth), healer, or assassin (ash'rak)

Now it may suck it may be awesome, I'll save my judgment till I play.

Star Trek Online promises to be quite a bit different with space combat playing a more direct role. As well like all cryptic products it will be uber customizable (something i always admire them for). Ground combat will involve you and NPC combat (aka Captain and Bridge Crew). As well you will the ability to use dozens of Red Shirts.

This game has the same potential as many others in production (ie. Warhammer, GW2, SGW, KotOR-O, Aion, etc.) it could suck or it could be good. And the opinions about which it is will very person to person. In either case people won't know till it comes out. I choose to hope from the best from Cryptic knowing their track record, but will walk in with very few expectation so that way I am always surprised. No they won't do everything you want, yes they will do some stuff that will surprise, amaze, and occasionally **** you off. But brand the game good or bad, after you actually played; don't walk into with a closed mind.

I don't think we're saying it sucks...i think we're agreeing that it does'nt CURRENTLY feel like Stargate in it's current form.

Where Star Trek online is feeling like Star Trek should be from the word go :P

[MavrykDH]

It just does'nt FEEL like Stargate.


I think the main thing is that like Star Trek, Stargate isnt completely about combat. And what i've seen from SGW is it is heavily combat based.

I realise that it would be hard to make a MMO not combat based, because too much dialog would get boring.

I guess time will tell with how they approach this issue in STO

I dont have a closed mind. What I have is alot of hope for several MMORPGs and so far the only MMO I have ever liked is/was City of Heroes. AoC = Major let down.. Stargate Worlds.. I just hate where they took it.. Armor? Glowing Asguards.. 99.2% shooter..

When I think of Star Trek, I think explore and Diplomacy.. and only fight when you haaaaaaave to. Yes they fought with big bad guys, and in each episode there was usually some termoil, but I can easily see working yourway through with little to no fighting.. Sadly I can see the same vision for Stargate Worlds.. IMO SG1 was all about exploring and gathering knowledge.. Daniel wasnt Mr Army Gung Ho guy.. and Sam, she was more scientist...

Anyways, I guess I just wanted someone to say.. No, Its not going to be all about ranged shooting.

And there will be a lot of exploration in SGW, it's just showing a video of people walking around a planet learning knowledge and following a storyline doesn't make for a very good promo video.

Scientist and Archy are supposed to be very no combative in nature with a lot more puzzles relating to quests. The only classes they have really shown are Commando and Soldier, which are heavy combat oriented.

[Nightstorm]

I agree it's way to early to pass judgement on SGW, but it is inevitable that some won't like it while others will. It's just the nature of the beast. What's bad form though, IMO is to bash an MMO on another MMO's forum but unfortunately that's a common trend. :(

[Jamion]

Well put Nightstorm.

[Perfect_Pain]

Think what you will, but this is another SciFi MMORPG coming soon based off some books / Tv series movies.
Just like the other game.

So rather than ask some off the wall question tiptoeing around what I MEAN, I explained myself. So there wouldnt be confusion.
