The worst thing "NuTrek" did was give us villains (cHaNgElInGs) who were unironically more interesting and relatable than the Federation, right up until their ... ally.
Other than that, Trek has always been more about enjoyment than substance, save for some arcs of Deep Space Nine.
Wow. This is just about the most pitiful criticism of the man I've seen yet. iS ThIs a pSyOp mEaNt tO MaKe mUsK HaTeRs lOoK BaD - levels of petty. Mostly just makes me feel bad for the average streamer; The candle thing was almost creepy enough on its own to take the other "issues" listed at face value though.
You're talking about a people who changed the color of their blood and adopted a Conlang at inception. They also managed to craft a civilization that accomodated/compensated for the extremity of their emotions. You really have a bizarre take on what is or isn't possible for a species, simply because another one did it first. Calling some of the best Trek in decades Nu Trek/non-canon is revisionist non-sense.
Nah. It was juvenile of them to insist the E had to be a 3, as if children would be the ones buying the cars.
I'm actually disappointed its not frat-boy humor. Just more of, even when he's actually pragmatic, its in a way that everyone else has to live with.
You're confusing active suppression for inability. The Romulans aren't idiots, nor short on genius, they're deluded at their core, to the point that their intelligence alone explains the long-term survival of their civilization. The Picard series didn't invent that about them, and the stable 8-star-star-system believed to have been created by super-tech in Romulan space is old lore as well.
Did you forget that single-player and perma-death are things?
That said, the real problem with what you're looking for vs this game is down to the premise: Interstellar travel without tech that feels like cheeting isn't a pew pew space-ship game. Generation-or-cryosleep-ship-simulator-gone-wrong isn't out ... yet.
Both BoTW and ToTK needed room to make the various traversal methods necessary and worth the trouble of acquiring and learning to use them.
Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of exploring both maps entirely on foot.
Amused me greatly that the Romulans didn't see this coming. Okay, who am I kidding? I liked them before all that and seeing the flaw in their reasoning take multiple episodes before the big reveal kinda pissed me off.
It's basically how the Tal Shiar duped themselves and their entire civilization.
I've played with two of my children at the same time. During the Utopia expedition, we saw dozens of other players. Where have you been?
Congratulations on missing the simple fact that every protest and campaign against America or Imperialism world-wide for decades has been as squarely aimed at the Democrats as much so as the Republicans. This goes doubly so for US domestic protests.
The US people and people worldwide have been very clear about we want. Stop apologizing for the manchurian party from behind your "third party observer" bullshit.
