Games / Re: STO

« on: December 16, 2009, 02:44:25 AM »

Ooh, this is going to be great. I have always loved the shows, and all of the movies have been spectacular. I will definitely be trying this one. I hope that the ship to ship combat will be more complex than point and click, though.

From the videos and interviews, it looks as if it will be geared a lot like other MMO genres, like WoW where you can hotkey attacks and special buffs and such. I'm sure it is much more involved than just a simple point and click.

I'm in the closed beta, haven't played yet because of the massive download and I have a download limit :(

I suppose I should post the basic spec expectations for the game.
 The minimum system requirements are:

    * OS: Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit)
    * CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz or AMD Athlon X2 3800+
    * Memory: 1GB RAM
    * Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7950 / ATI Radeon X1800 / Intel HD Graphics
    * Sound: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Soundcard
    * DirectX: Version 9.0c or Higher
    * HDD: 8GB Free Disk Space
    * Network: Internet Broadband Connection Required
    * Disc: 6X DVD-ROM

The recommended system specifications are:

    * OS: Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit)
    * CPU: Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2 5600+
    * Memory: 2GB RAM+
    * Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 / ATI Radeon HD 3850+
    * Sound: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Soundcard
    * DirectX: Version 9.0c or Higher
    * HDD: 8GB Free Disk Space
    * Network: Internet Broadband Connection Required
    * Disc: 6X DVD-ROM

How do I see my system specs?

Right click on your computer icon on your desktop and click on the option in the drop down window that says "Properties" It will give you a basics of your processor, video card and RAM.

Also, Zachary "Spock/Sylar" Quinto is doing voice work for STO. Not sure exactly what his role is, but I'm guessing it has to deal with the opening tutorials for the game. Might be reprising his role of SPock, but he talked about programming, so I'm guessing he'll be some kind of EMH type character.

Your religious beliefs are wrong.

That's an opinion. Enjoy your prejudice. Not feeding the troll.

They are onions on the inside, potatoes on the outside  

Well, actually, that would be a giant. Now ogres, oh, they're much worse. They'll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin. They'll shave your liver, squeeze the jelly from your eyes... Actually, it's quite good on toast.

That was the idea. I get the feeling he tries to be controversial just to be "different" from everyone else.

Agreed. The only way to be cool on Blockland is to be a complete insensitive prick. :/
