Incline Colony Ship RELEASE THREAD

I hate games where the combat becomes trivial after I intentionally lower the difficulty so that my characters can't die.

I played with basically all settings except skill points on the hardest setting.

If you think colony ship is hard, you're clearly just terrible at games lol.


Reminder, colony ship is so garbage it is the last rpg ITS will ever make

It's ok beans, it's not your fault, now show us on the doll where VD touched you.

Skill points pretty much (besides feats) are the meat of the game, both in n out of combat. Cheating on them makes baby Jesus cry

The other setting you changed is that enemies get a -40% to hit penalty when one of your characters gets below 50% health. Now, if you had simply set everything to the easiest difficulty, you could have played it off like "combat is such shit I just put it on easy mode to make it end faster". But that's not what you did. You changed one specific setting that really only comes into play when your are in danger of losing a fight. You must have done it for a reason and it isn't because combat was too easy for you.

I think the difficulty of CS combat varies greatly depending on the encounter, your build, your allegiances, what consumables you have available and are willing to use, etc. I only played through once. Some fights were very easy. Some fights took me a bunch of tries. And there were a few optional fights that I couldn't beat like that giant worm.

I do give you credit for being honest about the game settings and for having played the game before shitting on it. But I don't get people who, by a large factor, want to post more about games they despise than games they like/are playing. Hopefully you don't become one of them.

Trust me if I could go back I would have played it on easiest. I only reloaded maybe 5 times during the entire game(at least 4 of those times were against robots). I only played the game for maybe 2-2.5 hours at the most before I quit for several months and restarted. I wanted a compromise in difficulty.


Iluvcheezcake This game has a trash learning by doing system, if I could have cheated or given myself more skill points I would have(although the only skills I really lacked points in were stealth,lockpick and steal... Maybe a much lesser extent computers). Vince D soon to be unemployed thought it best to remove even more player agency in his game.

Beans00 now thats someone who can hold grudge properly. I get that, vd shared invalid opinions about gorasul too

15 years ago

Oh dear my, no 15 year old should have their sensibilities ravaged, it's just not right . I feel for you man

 

[jackofshadows]

15 years ago when I was 15 years old I saw a thread about one of my favorite games. Siege of avalon! The game that to this day has by far the best writing I have EVER played in any RPG(although the gameplay definitely sucks).

Have no idea about Siege of Avalon writing, haven't played that game but just by the looks of it, you haven't developed over these years at all.

Anyway, it's all completely clear now. A biased slow storyfag, case closed. Except I still don't understand why even play CSG if AoD wasn't to one's liking. It wasn't, right?

 

[Alienman]

Makes me wonder how many mortal enemies I myself have, through some random comment I have made

Beans00 now thats someone who can hold grudge properly. I get that, vd shared invalid opinions about gorasul too

And about Ukraine too

 

[CoronerZg]

Ok, so can we give Mr Beans a "Safe space" tag and be done with it?

 

[Darth Roxor]

VD is lucky to have spoken favourably of ELEX

 

[Beans00]

lukaszek I was mostly joking posting that, although I do think it's hypocritical VD spent so much time shitting all over BG 1/2(and other games, especially the writing) in particular when we see the games he made. I also hated gorasul so I need to agree with him there.

jackofshadows Yeah I registered heree when I was 15 so I could bitch about nwn 2. I understand you only got a working computer when you were 31 and before that you needed to kill rats to survive and hide from wild dogs. Life in the third world, but now you're bald and need to pay for sex so I guess you've moved up in the world?

I also liked AOD significantly more then colony ship, although AOD certainly wasn't perfect. Colony ship is legitimately a bad game, like 4-5/10 bad.


Also I see one of the ITS devs put me(and others criticizing his shitty game) on ignore, have fun being unemployed weak cuckold(lmao!!). Maybe jackofshadows can take some charity money out of his rogaine/prostitute fund and throw ITS guys a bone.

shitting all over BG 1/2

Now that you're a bit older you should be able to handle this: BG never was, is not and never will be fit to clean the radioactive waste off Fallout's boots.

Yeah no shit, as a kid Fallout blew bg out of the water for me even then. That being said AOD/CS aren't fit to lick the shit off baldur's gate(1-2)'s boots.


http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,8107.0.html <- even on their dead forums people bitch about this game lmao.

AoD most certainly can lick the shit off BG's boots...wait...that doesn't sound quite right...

So the reason because this game is disliked is the nihilism in it?

 

[lukaszek]

So the reason because this game is disliked is the nihilism in it?

actual reason appear to be grudges against VD held for years

 

[Justicar]

Game is bad end of story.

 

[Beans00]

So the reason because this game is disliked is the nihilism in it?

Bad writing and gameplay, a few very vocal fanboys seem to like it. None with the exception of Tavar seem to be able to actually say what they enjoyed about it.

Nobody here, maybe. But there are a lot of people appreciating it on the net.

 

[The Wall]

They are clearly all deliberately made the same, the message being "everyone is a power-hungry faggot only using ideology as a tool to bamboozle fools with." Unfortunately, the message is trite, and something carrying a message doesn't automatically make it good.

Every movement has true believers. But Vault Dweller stopped believing in anything and it's so evident. In both his writing in Colony Ship and his posts on Codex. Only thing he still believes in is Ukraine. Psst! do not report to him news from frontline
