Game News Colony Ship Released

[mindx2]

Purchased just to support ITS.

Very proud of you VD and the ITS team on your final release.

Hear! Hear!

 

[MF]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see what changed since early EA and play it through the end, though I'll probably have to roll a fresh character.

Has anyone ever noticed that one of the trolls in that .gif is... uh... well, you know....

I'm happy for the Iron Tower and all, congratulations on another release. But as a player, to me it's an extremely verbose game. I'll give it another try. But I'll likely drop it. And then wait for the game to become moddable + for ChatGPT to be able to shorten text precisely as instructed, then mod it and play as it should be played, with 90% of the text thrown out.

It's really unfortunate that it takes its name from Fallout 1, yet doesn't respect its basics. If you play Fallout 1 you'll note that all dialogues are extremely to the point.

I had the same feeling from playing the demo.

I have never seen good writing that wasn't to the point

Smiles best waifu, CS should format your harddrive if you abandon her in the ambush.

Thank you. Game looks pretty, has nice portraits, sf stetting, tactical fight and NOW even waifus. I check this one.

Congrats for the release. I got on EA but didn't play it yet.

On occasions.

Any way to buy it directly so steam doesn't steal my money?

It's out on GOG.

Congratz to the Iron Tower team, it's no small feat to keep releasing these huge RPGs, very few studios survived so long and managed to release 3 games.

And now we have a big AAA RPG that shook the entire industry, a new Iron Tower RPG and more Underrail... feels like 2015 again!

Yea there's no justification for that. I imagine they had organizational issues or started another cancelled project or whatever.

It's really unfortunate that it takes its name from Fallout 1, yet doesn't respect its basics. If you play Fallout 1 you'll note that all dialogues are extremely to the point. And no descriptions, because DUH, the graphics describe it all. And when graphics aren't enough, talking heads finish the job.

Nah, we've had enough of these "too many words" kind of critiques. Needs to be a 180 at this point. The game requires some of your attention with the reading, just fucking put in the effort. I don't accept "extremely verbose" as a serious point on the writing, it just indicates that you're fucking tired and need a little boo-boo massage or whatever. Do you know how many people go on about books being too verbose because they're, in fact, too fucking lazy to read them? Fuck that. Extensive writing doesn't mean bad writing. It doesn't mean good writing either by all means, but the point is too formal.

So you refuse the idea that there's a sweet point in there somewhere, and that the number of words doesn't matter? That the same joke can be as funny when told in 20 words, as well as 20'000 words?

If you ask any Norm Macdonald fan, the joke's the funniest when it is told with more words than in a bible. It's the way how something is told, not what is told, what matters.

Now if you say the crpgs mostly fail telling things with words and should emphasize other means of communication to convey messages - as it's a visual media after all, I might agree.
To which degree - if any - this is the case with Colony Ship, I'll refrain from making any assessment as I haven't played it yet.

Any way to buy it directly so steam doesn't steal my money? get rewarded for ending support for Windows 7?

Fixed.

And the answer is GOG.

 

[OttoQuitmarck]

Judging by a massive butthurt about bad UI comment, this game's community on Codex is fucking retarded

You only figured that out now?

GOG isn't direct sale either. Little known fact- they're run by perfidious P*les

Not going to play?

more CYOA/"tabletop RPG"

If you place those two things next to each other again as if there is any association between them, I'm gonna skin you alive.

Also, congrats ITS! Vince has his usual stony exterior showing, but you know he is like the proud papa right now.

Get out there and buy it and drop steam reviews, Codex! As someone who liked his time with AoD alright, but was kind of disappointed with a number of the design decisions (aside: AoD was the reason I joined the codex in the first place, back in the great drought of the late 2000s, early 2010s), I feel that from what I played so far, Colony Ship is a huge improvement across the board. I would love an AoD remake or true sequel with more of the design sensibilities found in Colony Ship. Take that as you will!

Purchased. Might be a little while before it reaches the top of my to-play stack.

He's still alive. He just decided the Steam forums and 4chan were more to his liking than The Codex for some reason.
