So far.... AoY is ... mildly disapointing with a few bright spots . C+

Man I was looking forward to this more than anything in recent memory. But on launch day all we get is a reskinned tutorial, 2 new missions for our main characters and 2 really terrible STFs..

1.) What the heck happened to the speaking animations ? Why does everyone now have a fish mouth?
2.) Film grain? Really? In a time where we have remastered blu-rays?
3.) Its AWESOME that you got permission to use some sound clips when we first meet the enterprise crew. Its a shame the sound quality is so very terrible.
4.) Doohan Jr makes a valiant try - but aside from doing a too-fast scottish accent - he sounds nothing like his father.
5.) Ive waited YEARS to see Captain Kirk in this game - and when we finally do he is unconscious? COME ON. Either ask Pine to do it, or get another voice actor if Shatner is being a **** about it.
6.) The STFs - oh my god they are terrible. I must not be alone in this because virtually NO ONE is playing them. Whose idea was it to make one of them playing the exact same content 3 times in a row?
7.) Wheres the TOS original connie I already had? The one I got on STO launch day? Just gone?
8.) Having a lockbox with this low of a ship chance is crappy.

things I did like:

1.) Pavel Chekov - hes so cool. Well done.
2.) TOS era sector space - WAY too cool to be wasted on such short content.
3.) The unis and weaps from TOS - nice to see some variation.
4.) The MANY nods to TOS from quotes to locations.
5.) The MANY nods and quotes from STAR WARS - sneaky devs... very sneaky. Awesome too
6.) The new TOS crewmen - the way each was introduced on their own made for a nice story and made me feel like they were part of my team. Immersive.
7.) I like bacon
8.) The inclusion of the Kelvin timeline ships.
9.) The story arc with Daniels, some nice surprises there.
