Star Trek games vs. Star Wars games

[Phlakes]

Okay, I'm a huge ST fan, but you can't argue against KotOR, Battlefront, X Wing/TIE Fighter, etc. The best Trek has is Bridge Commander.

I thought Away Team and Elite Force were the funnest Star Trek games.

I own waaaay more Star Wars games though and I've had loads of fun with them.

Dude! Someone has some re-evaluating to do - especially since you liked 25th Anniversary. Judgment Rites is probably the best game out of the bunch, and one of the best sci-fi games ever.

Wow, I didn't know there were so many games. I never played a Star Trek game, and I only played TIE Fighter vs. X-wing and Star Wars Monopoly, though the former is one of my favorite games. I'll have to check out some of those Star Trek ones, I always just assumed they'd all be terrible.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander is damn awesome.

Well for me, until Star Trek gets its equivalent of KotOR, I'm gonna have to give that particular nod to a galaxy far far away.

Never played a Star Trek game, and Star Wars has Battlefront, which makes it automatically win.

It also has Jedi Starfighter, which may not be the best game every but god damnit I sunk a shit ton of time into it in my younger days.

Since I've never played a Star Trek game I'm not properly equiped to compare they're games. But Star Wars has had some fantastic games.
Super Star Wars (All three.)
Rogue Squadron
Jedi Knight
Battlefront 2
Lego Star Wars (Before the franchise became incredibly over saturated)
Revenge of the Sith
The Forced Unleashed

Sorry, that slipped by me, didn't mean to gove it a "bad

Personally, I have played and enjoyed more Star Wars games than Star Trek games. In fact, I currently still have Empire at War and Battlefront 2 installed.

Then again I haven't played as many Star Trek games.

It went F2P on 17th of January (1701 being quite a significant number in Trek) You should be able to get your old character back but since STO has changed owners you might have to merge your existing account with a new account - I guess just see if your log in still works and if not I imagine the STO forums will explain how to merge them.

I liked the log, and the stuff about the Borg still attacking Vega made me chuckle. You've got to love the static nature of MMO worlds...

Thanks, and wow, what timing for me to ask about the F2P thing. On the static nature of things, yeah, it's like when I'm playing LotRO and I kill a small storyline quest bad guy and find that he drops some kind of awesome loot, I then proceed to wait for him to respawn and I kill him again, and sometimes do it a couple more times. Or, like one time when I was heading to kill a storyline quest bad guy and got to the top of the stronghold and found said bad guy standing behind and looking at his own dead body.

"You see mister orc, what happened to you there will happen again, frustrating isn't it?"

Star Trek doesn't really seem like it would lend itself well to most kinds of games. It's at the core a show about exploration, diplomacy, and thought experiments. That would be one dialogue-heavy game.

Your point is?

Oh yeah I forgot, games are all about shooting and fistfighting, and not about moral dilemmas, exploring the universe and the scientific and social progress of humanity.

[O maestre]

star wars has the best games by far. the only good star trek game i have ever played was bridge commander, nothing else has managed to capture the star trek vibe especially combat wise everything else has been utter crap.

that being said bridge commander is one of the best space combat sims i have ever played, however the game itself was buggy as hell

forgive me if i sound insulting, but do you seriously believe that it can be realized as a game? most trek fans would buy it of course but that is a rather marginal income for such an expansive game. there are far greater chances of it being realized as a text rpg.

For Battle for Naboo, both Battlefronts, both KOTORs, and Republic Commando I am willing to forgive many wrongs.

Also, have yet to meet anyone who didn't overall say they enjoyed Republic Commando. Where's are sequel Lucas Arts??

KotOR, KotOR2, SW:BF, SW:BF2, Lego: SW, Lego SW 2 win it for Starwars. Nothing can compare to the win of those games.
