Planetside 2 vs Star Trek Online
Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
Star Trek Online
Star Trek Online is a sci-fi-themed MMORPG that features epic dogfights in space, a wide variety of alien species and encounters, as well as cool forms of futuristic space travels, set in the iconic Star Trek universe that many love and enjoy in the time period when the Klingons drive to expand their empire came into conflict with the forces of the Federation. That's not all, the Dominions are also seeking to wrestle Alpha Quadrant from the Federation and apparently, the Borgs have returned as well!With so many moving pieces in play, Star Trek Online is as rich in its storyline as in the popular TV shows and movies. THe gameplay is incredibly immersive too. In this game, you'll get to pilot/command your own starship, customize it to your liking and set off to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy fighting opposing factions, both AI and players alike.
In spite of what you might expect, Star Trek Online is not just a brilliant MMO game for fans of the franchise. As long as you have a love for thrilling space battles and exploring the unknown, then you'll fit right in with the other players in this amazing game.
