I actually bought this close to release, played a bit and then decided to wait until all episodes were out...

Well, it still has plenty of momentum for me. Actually, I'm more excited for KR0 Act IV/V than any other upcoming game. It's just that good! I'd argue even a single episode provides an absolutely magical and complete experience. With three episodes available to play right now, I'm not sure why you're still here.
It's not like a typical episodic game (or a typical game at all), KR0 is genius and will go down in gaming history as an absolute classic. Saying the game isn't complete because not every episode is out yet is basically like saying The Force Awakens isn't enough and they should have released the whole trilogy at once.
The wording actually suggested it was right around the corner and it's been 5 months since then, but oh well:
It doesn't really bother me, but I do want to play the remaining episodes.
yeaah this makes no sense to me haha, i'll just craft whatever

I've gone through 3 operating system and 2 PC upgrades while this game has been releasing. I truly do not understand why there is no backlash for how ridiculously slow it's getting released. Any other developer would have been raked over the coals a million times for doing this.
Game development takes time.
As long as they keep delivering quality work I don't see how you can argue they aren't delivering their product.
You can sell it for money or open it, getting 3 random cards form the corresponding game. You can also get foil cards from those drops.

I don't remember the story or even the genre
. I just know I liked it a lot so still hyped. Will probably replay everything from EP1.

I didn't argue that they're not delivering the product. I'm saying that they're super fucking slow at it. I don't think this is a particularly controversial assertion.
The game was Kickstarted a full five years ago and they've released 60% of the game so far. That combined with their incredibly infrequent updates would probably land this in the red zone for Stump's Kickstarter spreadsheet. And yet, I imagine it hasn't.
I imagine other developers who did something like this would not get the same understanding that the KR0 devs do. Who knows though.
It was destiny. Now go enjoy getting rekt left and right.

Video games take years to make. A small indie game by a small team could potentially take just as many years to make as a large triple A game made a large studio even though there's a vast difference in scope and scale when you compare an episodic indie point and click adventure game to insert triple A title here.
Cardboard Computer is 3 people.
Perhaps you should refrain from buying into episodic games until all of the content is released.

listen to the mad man
I don't track them because they KSed less than $75k (for logistics reasons I can't track 2000 projects so I set a threshold where I think a) I'll be able to handle the updates and b) where I think they're taking enough money for it to really matter if they fail). I'm not really sure what I'd do with them if I did. There's one project called Starcraft Universe, which is a Starcraft mod, that has updated about once a year, but every time they update there's clearly a year's worth of progress, so it's difficult for me to fit that as comparable to normal projects, where silence of more than a few months clearly implies production issues.
The other thing that KR0 reminds me of is something like Star Citizen in that ongoing sales are clearly brisk enough to keep them continually employed making the game, so there's little risk of the most common kind of failure: running out of money and not being able to work on the game anymore.
Historically I've been pretty forgiving of very slow projects as long as there's steady progress and an indication that financially everything is above board.
I do expect KR0 to finish, probably this year or early next, but it's by no means guaranteed and I personally haven't bought it in part due to that trepidation.
Fate is compensating for your stolen bike. Have fun, bro.

Just got back from Batman/Superman. I had the bar pretty low, but Snyder should not make anymore more superhero movies.
I'm also suddenly interested in the Wonder Woman movie.......

didn't have much of a wanting to see BvS (would have preferred Man of Steel 2) and still don't...supposedly they've started reshooting scenes or whatever for the Suicide Squad movie to make it "more fun" or "less serious" or something because of the reaction to BvS

Less than an hour left if you want to get in. Again, I've never given away a Steam gift before, so if you win and the thing is fucked up please PM me and I'll send it directly. In the meantime I have to solo-support this Dota group ;_;

Is that Dead Space 2 or 3?
I wish EA used Steam as trojan for Origin and still sold their games through Steam. I know why they don't, they don't want to have to give Valve a cut of their games but it's also why I don't buy EA's PC games anymore.

Pretty positive they will be missing out on some sales due to not being on steam.

It's 10$ on Origin right now too.

That's not a bad price, though I personally found the game to be disappointing, especially after how good the second one was.

I'm pretty positive EA doesn't care at this point. Their games haven't been releasing on Steam for years, so the loss of some customers has to be countered by not having to pay Valve a cut of their sales.
I just wish they saw value in using Steam as a trojan for Origin the way Ubisoft does with uPlay. I actually own a number of uPlay games because they're sold through Steam whereas my Origin collection consists of like 5 games, 2 of which were "on the house".
I haven't even beaten 1 or 2 despite owning both for years. All your screen shots have had been making me want to install them tho.
New recommendation added to the OP:
The Banner Saga 2 - Nete
The Banner Saga was one of the first "big" successful projects we had on Kickstarter, taking advantage of the momentum started by Broken Age one month earlier to fund a story-driven SRPG with some fine writing, great characters and a pretty unique Norse-ish setting. On it, we will lead a caravan of people fleeing from their homes as their only chance to survive in a world where the gods are dead, and the game really shines making you feel the burden of leadership each time you must face a decision in a journey system reminder to the old Oregon Trail. The combat is also kinda unique, and although it could do with more variety of everything, the use of Health as both, Life and Attack power, makes for a really interesting and refreshing system once it clicks in your head. It's also a stupidly gorgeous game, combining backgrounds inspired in the work of Eyvind Earle and 2D animations with some good ol' hand-drawn feeling. The music by Austin Wintory is the icing on the delicious cake that is the game fantastic atmosphere.
The Banner Saga 2 promises to do everything the first game did, but better.

I don't see much talk of Vermintide on here, is that because those who enjoy it are busy playing or is this game old news already?
New recommendation added to the OP:
Enter the Gungeon - More_Badass
Take the wild weapons, crazy items, and weird enemies of Binding of Isaac, mix it with the satisfying shooting and skillful dodging of Nuclear Throne, and then add some more tactical elements and a ballistic-themed fantasy world of gun-toting bullets and weapon crafting witches, and that's Enter The Gungeon.
A frenetic dual-stick shooter with roguelite aspects, Gungeon drops you into the titular fabled dungeon where all manner of odd enemies and traps lurk. Luckily, there are over 200 guns to be found, from your generic pistols and shotguns to more exotic arms that unleash bees or oil or shark-infested waters, as well as myriad items that embue you with special abilities and game-changing buffs. A three-weapon loadout means you can discover synergies for any situation, and when bullets aren't enough, you can take cover or deftly dodge-roll around incoming projectiles
And those skills aren't enough, you can always bring a friend for some local co-op action

Gungeon looks pretty fun.
I was the only one to give it a vote for a place on the 2015 SteamGAF GOTY list.
I thought it was one of the best co-op games to come out last year.

Hopefully its Dark humor and not wacky smacky doo humor.
I don't think it's countered or just a small amount of customers as EA's games always fly up the Top Sellers list when they're on sale and yet Origin's performance metric changed from total number of accounts to total number of "installs" (i.e. downloads). Origin is successful enough without the more recent games being available on Steam, that much is absolutely true, but I think it's quite obvious at this point that people who are introduced to EA's games on Steam are, by and large, not moving to Origin to play the more recent entries and so there is most definitely a sizeable amount of money being left on the table.
It's not much of a secret that EA left Steam behind because of Valve implementing a policy that DLC for games sold on Steam must be available on Steam as well, but this is no longer an issue. The other shoe is going to drop eventually.
If you've never won, you have a better chance of winning since constant winners get throttled by Modbot.
