/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It's pretty good! Between it and 1995's Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity, I'd say adventure games are the perfect fit for Trek-style stories. The Telltale formula is a little on rails sometimes, and a lot of the actual gameplay is silly little tricorder puzzles, but it's basically an engine to provide you with classic, "You need to make a snap decision, who's plan are you going with?" moments like these.
I enjoyed my time with resurgence. I can't see non-trekkies enjoying it because TBH, the controls, combat, and mini-games are all frustratingly awful. However, the story, characters, and choices were all great! I was slightly disappointed overall though. I was hoping it would be unequivocally great and demonstrate a market for more Trek games, but it's clearly lacking in some areas and didn't have much impact upon release.
Same. I know being an Epic Games Store exclusive gives you a lot of runway during your development period, but that probably didn't help them when it came to going viral post-launch. Still, if you're up for having two digital libraries, it's an easy pickup with all those holiday coupons they toss around.
Right, I forgot it was epic exclusive on PC. That definitely will not have helped. I played it on console and it definitely suits a relaxed TV playing experience, like playing an episode.
