alanschu and gromnir are kinda dreamy when they get together.
The all time best, though, has to be Llyranor and Little Nickie. They count as one person in my heart, that way I'm never cheating on either one of them...
...what?

The game looks pretty...and if the one review is accurate, I like the way the original Trek time frame is more gung-ho battles-wise while TNG period is slightly less so - following the way the series actually were, perhaps...the controls sound like a nightmare tho.
The controls are much better now than they were. The game plays excellently on a 360 gamepad, I prefer keyboard + mouse, but most people had trouble with keyboard + mouse.
The game mechanics are difficult to master, different ships have different firing arcs and movement rates, where others have cannons on all sides of their ships, but can't fire vertically. Ships with good sensors acquire phaser lock faster and can activate sub-system targetting more adeptly.
The problem is the documentation is poor. I actually tried to help this towards the end of the development, but not much could be done. Most people won't figure out how to use sub-system targetting, which is where the real strategy of the game is.
The day Legacy was released on PC I was terrorizing people online, destroying their weapons and engines, leaving before finishing the job.
Personally, I think the game is fun. If you go in with high hopes expecting some sort of realistic space sim game, you're going to walk away disappointed. If you go in expecting a tactical, squad based space battle game, you should enjoy yourself.
Internally, we ran a lot of games with arbitrary rules assigned. One of my favorite games was a game I call assimilation. 1 player is borg with 4 ships, 3 other players can be anything but borg and can take only 2 ships, originally it was 3 on 1, but we found it to be more fun as a free-for-all. Everyone would start out gunning for the borg, but then someone would get greedy and want first place, they would inevitably turn on their former allies for the extra points.
Like I said, Legacy is fun for what it is. If you think you would enjoy a space battle game using capital ships made famous by Star Trek, it might be up your alley.
P.S. Hades, it has been out on PC for a week.

I actually enjoy Legacy, for what it is, at least.
The controls take some time to get used too, and the AI has spurts of anti-intelligence. My favorite review of the game thus far has been the OXM UK, where the reviewer says the game has too much 3D, but also has too much 2D. If someone could explain that to me, I would be grateful.
If someone wants to challenge me to a deathmatch on Xbox Live, I'd be glad to play.

Man, how did you get so tough?

I'm sorry but... HOW THE HECK CAN A FOUR YEAR OLD SEXUALLY HARASS SOMBODY!? HOW!?
When I was young, I think I may have been 5 or 6, I pretty much felt up one of my camp counselors. It wasn't sexual to me, but I can imagine how it would be to an adult.

For the first time ever, someone has said "stop being obtuse" and wasn't talking to you, Hades.

Stop being obtuse.

Not use Khelgar... sorry, you lost me. Why wouldn't you use Khelgar?
Were you intoxicated at the time?

Organization.
One for books, one for gems, one for essences, one for plot items, etc... etc...
Khelgar has several inventory tabs, one for books, one for gems, one for essences, one for plot items, etc...

Why buy magic bags at all? Khelgar is a walking magic bag.

First time we see Peter in a cell (his bro comes to visit) he is fine. Then later on he is al sweaty and pale. At first I thought his injuries were catching up to him and needed more time with Claire but that didn't work. Following on from Shadow's question it could be radiation poisoning.
I don't think he is just decaying, I think he absorbed radioactive man's radioactivity, thus he is a nuke waiting to explode. To prevent the city from being wiped out, I think his brother will fly him way up into the atmosphere as he explodes. GO GO CRAZY THEORY!
-
Here is my insane-o theory. Radioactive man is suffering from half-life-itis. Meaning he is decaying, leaving parts of himself behind. Radioactive Man was interviewed in the same room Peter was interviewed by the feds. The room was still full of Radioactive Man matter , and he absorbed it.
-
Hrm... was Peter sick BEFORE the feds interviewed him? I didn't pay attention, but I don't remember him getting sick until after the meeting with the mind-reading cop. I'll have to watch again friday.
-
Did Peter or Sylar come into contact with Radioactive Man? If so, I think that Peter has become irradiated.

I'd like to romance Elanee in real life... if you get me... because that was so subtle.

I think it was mostly mouse wheel, using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out or holding it in and turning the camera.
-
Most the problems with the camera (that I've seen voiced, anyway( are that it is slow to react in top-down (default) mode. Then after a slightly hesitant reaction it seems too responsive to mouse movement, possibly caused by the typical player having ADD and moving the mouse more wondering why the camera didn't react immediately. Not having ADD, I don't have a problem with this.
The only complaint I have with the camera is in free cam mode, it moves too slowly when I move to the edge of the screen. So, naturally, I tried the click+drag method. This didn't help much, and I was forced to watch the cursor twitch on screen. Other than that I have no problem.

If someone posted this, I missed it...
I'm not surprised you missed it, it's only the first post.
Me either. I only read the last page.

Period. (apparently typing this makes me more credible...) Period, Period, Period.
If your looking for one word that by typing will make you more credible it is:
"Bethesda"
LOL!
...what?

I really have no idea how the people in these videos manage to throw the Wiimotes out of their hands if they are making any attempt to hold on. I've been playing Wii Sports non stop since launch day, and I've never had any problem with it slipping. For people that have a massive sweat gland malfunction, Nintendo and third parties make rubber gloves for the controllers to improve grip. And as for the strap, I tested the straps on my Wiimotes, and they all were strong enough to withstand some very healthy tugs. The force needed to rip them has to be very large.
Period. (apparently typing this makes me more credible...) Period, Period, Period.
I know three people who managed to break their straps. It seems like there were some manufacturer problems.

Having played Wii at E3 and now over a friend's house, I feel much better about my 360 purchase.
At E3 you said you didn't find the controller to be responsive. What happened at your friend's house?
It depends on the game. Redsteel still seems very unresponsive, but that game sucks overall.
I didn't enjoy Zelda or Wii Sports, and still thought it was a tad inaccurate.
