welp, thats what happens when you release a bad game, and try to sell it on name only, althrough the story actually felt "trek", it was pretty good storywise, but it was pretty much the only thing that made the game worth anything.
I Broke Str Trek by BirgirPall is the best video about this game.
I dunno. I had lot of fun in Co-op, but those bugs were annoying as hell most of the time.
I'm more excited for the prospect of Abrams working with Valve as detailed in the video. I'm surprised they didn't mention it in the article itself.

Or it could be because the movie was just meh. Not awful, just meh.
I think bad writers hurt the movie more than a video game tie-in.
The Star Trek game could have been so amazing, imagine a top down shoot em' up with the Enterprise in a fashion similar to the crazy big scenes from the new films, or imagine a story-driven Walking Dead style point and click game on an away mission or something where each episode focuses on a different bridge Crew member, or maybe a tactical game where you could play with your friends as different roles on the bridge and have to coordinate in pitched space battles against other players or in coop? Why did they have to make it a dumb third person action shooter?
Did anyone else ever play Star Trek: Shattered Universe? It was a fun little game, and had some really memorable space battles. When I got to the bit where you control the Enterprise in the tie-in, it brought back good memories, and I loved that bit. I'd buy a whole game of just that and expanded controls. Fortunately, Star Trek Online exists. They could even have made another Armada, I'd kill for that in the new universe, could be incredible. I'd even take a Hidden Evil like point and click, or an FPS like Elite Force, which was pretty great too. With just a bit more effort, they could have made something awesome, but the end game was plagued with bugs, poor graphics, a lack of opportunities taken, and samey gameplay that never got much more interesting.

Both the movie and the game were shit.

No J.J you fucking ignorant fool. Your writers hurt the fucking movie. Your writers fucking RUINED the movie. Fire the FUCK out of your writers, and if you hire them for your star wars project it's going to be SHIT.

I'm not sure about the rest but Michael Arndt is writing the first one.
Loved the movie. Thrilling sci-fiction adventure with a well-rounded cast plus Benedict Cumberbatch had a nice addition to it with a charismatic performance
I honestly don't see what everyone hated about Star Trek 2009, I watched it the other week and it was a pretty enjoyable movie. It was never supposed to be exactly like the original series. The second the "alternate universe" thing happened, Kirk and Spock stopped being Shatner and Nimoy's characters. The entire point of the movie was that that alteration of history changed how Spock and Kirk met, and pretty much half of the events that shaped their characters, making them different than the "originals". All the people complaining about the movie seem like they're just pissed that it wasn't exactly the same as the 60's show.
