Chuck Plays Games - Elite Force?

[Kendrakirai]

Anybody wanna fund Chuck playing Elite Force 1 and/or 2, since he’s starting to close in on completing Voyager?

I'd love to see his opinion on those. And also to see if he ever vaporizes Neelix.

He's not THAT close to finishing Voyager. He's still got 40-50 episodes to go. And since he moved to a 3 Treks a month instead of 4 schedule due to that closing in, and he also has all the other series to deal with, it'll be a few years yet before he gets there.

He's actually probably at about 50 episodes to go on most of the shows. (except animated) Even TOS and ENT which is surprising given they have much lower episode counts than the other series. I guess Chuck's been pretty good about evenly rationing out reviews per series over the years. Means they all have about as much to go but also that they'll probably all wrap up at about the same time

At 36 episodes a year he's still got about 7 years of material to work with... (plus DIscovery and Picard and whatever else comes along) though the back end of that is going to be a lot of dreck episodes that are just middle of the road remainder that no one was motivated to sponsor prior to that point.

Related, he's almost finished all of the first two seasons of Babylon 5, and about half of season 3, but he's barely touched seasons 4 or 5. Makes sense given just how continuity heavy B5 is, it'd be hard to talk about any of season 4 without all the setup. It sure seems like one of his patrons has basically just commissioned the entire series in order, so maybe he'll finish that out in the next couple years too.

With 172 episodes, having only 40-50 left means he’s done somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of the series. I think that counts as ‘closing in’ on finishing.

Besides, that’s beside the point, I wanna see Chuck analyze Elite Force. :3 You know, if there’s even enough there to analyze. He did pretty good with System Shock 2!

Elite Force was definitely an above-average episode of Voyager, IMO, so it would be fun to see a review for it.

I'd love to see his opinion on those. And also to see if he ever vaporizes Neelix.

Neelix was a beast in the AI-controlled versus mode.

While he's at it he should also review 25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites, and A Final Unity. Some of the stories in there are worthy of being full-fledged episodes, and of course they all have the regular casts voicing them.

Then there's DS9's Harbinger and The Fallen, a couple flight sims in Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy, a couple of interactive movies including "Borg" starring John de Lancie. These I'd put at a lower priority, however.

I don't now if Chuck ever said somewhere exactly how long he would like to stretch out his reviews of Trek episodes, or if it's more of a "it ends when it ends" thing. If he were interesting in extending that impending deadline, I do think that throwing in some reviews of the best Trek video games would be a valid way to do that.

[RobbyB1982]

I get the feeling that Chuck feels Trek is his bread and butter and overall identity as a reviewer, so he wanted that to last longer if it could... and switching from 4 eps a month to 3 gave him another couple years. But he's done enough other reviews I think that when that day comes, if he still wants to even be doing this, he'll be able to segue into just doing other sci-fi shows more often.

But Chuck has already experienced Bi’j, he’s reviewed both Threshold *and* Code of Honor!

Didn't Linkara already do Elite Forces?

Didn't Linkara already do Elite Forces?

Yes, he did a Let's Play of the game and a video review of the comic adaptation. The man is thorough.
