i would say depends on if you like to play battles or strategc layer more...
for the strategic part TWWh isnt ideal , especially as first TW game ... but as its the first fantasy TW its hands down best for the battles

I hate when games don't let you map functions to extra mouse buttons, playing Torment and I can't have highlight put on the mouse

Yeah it's great. Pretty polished, fun fantasy universe.
I like the strategy elements to the game. Nothing is super overwhelming at first, the game really lets you settle into it nicely. The RTS components are a good high-level overview of epic LOTR style battles, and the turn based stuff is engaging and interesting without being a slog.
It's a great balance.

Just finished Unravel. It was beautiful.
I had some technical issues at the beggining, but I ended up enjoying it.
The platforming is cool, I love the mechanic of being able to grab the trail you leave behind, and the puzzles make you think just the right amount of time to not break the flow too much.
And the ending quote? Just fucking beautiful.

oh god i slipped on ice and now i can barely move my one elbow (not broken, just bruised or something). so in the mean time zkylon typing is a go
p.s. halp
heal me
yes. best ui in the series IMO.
and, because there's a great wargame layered over a cool RTS-like combat engine. it has a lot of stuff to do, too. each faction is 100% unique.

Nier is right around the corner too 😵😵😵😵😵😵
Reviews are hidden until the game is a day old, it seems. Stupid Raft Battle Simulator was tagged as having one review, but it wasn't actually on the store page an hour or so ago despite being posted several hours earlier.
Edit: Or a threshold is reached. Hollow Knight unlocked just under 10 hours ago and reviews are now visible on the store page.

Is LIT just the
levels, or is there more to come? Not that I'd be overly disappointed if there isn't anything more - I'm just curious how long I should expect to set aside to play it through.

I was going to be offended but then I use punctuation.
but posting in a stream of conscious is basically my modus operandi since 2004 or 2006.

So you're telling me SEGA is not happy enough with not porting any of their games, they're now also delaying our PC exclusives???? *old man yells at cloud*
Thought as much, given XSEEDs prior track record with release dates, but I had hope
This means I'll have to rethink my spring plans, gah.
Why are there so few sales in the first half of the year.
Given their track record they mean late Spring 2018

1.0 posts are a rare thing for me.

This is making me laugh real hard on a shitty day
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire ended at 4.4 million. Obsidian managed a fantastic campaign.
Who said crowd-funding was in decline?!

Pillars of Eternity 1 on Kickstarter got $3,986,929 pledged of $1,100,000 goal by 73,986 backers while Pillars 2 got $4,407,598 OF $1,100,000 GOAL by 33,614 BACKERS.
So they got more than 50% less backers but their hardcore fans and whales dropped more cash on this one. So yeah it is on the decline. Some new projects failed hard like the Apocalypse Now game. If you don't have a big name attached to your project it propably won't go well. At this point crowdfunding games from trusted studios seems to be like cheap preorder compared to the final price.

Apocalypse Now wasn't a very good Kickstarter campaign. No real ingame shots until it was actually too late to generate buzz, a pitch that basically said "we can make your dreams come true but we are not names that you trust"
For a project that asked for a pretty big amount of money, they didn't do a very good job with the campaign.
The System Shock remake got funded, their first KS game. There was also a demo that showed what exactly they could do and what they had in mind. The Apocalypse Now thing looked shady as fuck in comparison.
Just because Crowdfunding isn't growing a whole lot, which it isn't, doesn't mean its going away anytime soon. At this point I would even say it's a rather sustainable model. Certainly more than the AAA one which eats ever larger budgets every generation, while certainly not producing that much more enjoyable games.
And we already have it masterfully adapted in Spec Ops: The Lune
Apocalypse Now was the very definition of a dubious crowd-funding campaign.
Indie and smaller developers still do very well on Kickstarter. I can name a few of the ones I backed somewhat recently: Stygian, Copper Dreams, Unknown Realm, System Shock, and Beautiful Desolation.
It's obvious campaigns with established developers and/or franchises will get the most attention. It was like this when Kickstarter first started too. You're ultimately deciding how far you can trust a developer to do a thing, and the aforementioned are reassurances. It's also true that returning developers, even small indie developers, do very well in crowd-funding when their first project was well-received. Harebrained Schemes is an excellent example of this.
I think last year's numbers may have been lower than 2015, but it's also true that it was a leap year of sorts for many of the successful big names in crowd-funding.

Don't forget only half of the new campaign's cash came from backers, 2.15mil. The rest comes from fig's investment capital. Rough math: POE1: $52/backer, POE2: $65/backer

Fuck Crapcom, first UMvsC3 and now Dead Rising 4, what are they thinking? $30 for UMvsC3, and $70 for Dead Rising Deluxe Edition? It seems that Crapcom thinks that mexicans are rich enough to pay those prices
I'll be double dipping on DR 4, but that'll have to wait for a big ass sale :/Fuck Crapcom, first UMvsC3 and now Dead Rising 4, what are they thinking? $30 for UMvsC3, and $70 for Dead Rising Deluxe Edition? It seems that Crapcom thinks that mexicans are rich enough to pay those prices
God damn it, fucked up the latest elusive target.
Killed one target smooth as fuck, but then couldn't find the second one at all and while looking didn't notice one enforcer and it all went to hell. I was still going to complete the thing even though I couldn't get silent assassin anymore, but then context sensitive button bit me in the ass. Instead of smashing a guard's head with a hammer, 47 decided to snap a neck from an unconscious guard (whose head I had previously smashed with a hammer) instead and then some other guard shot him mid-animation.

Last elusive target, you say? Yes, I saw her. Reddish-brown hair, red fedora...she recently converted her currency to rand.
Hmm, I'm not sure I have the desire to bother with the last bosses of DDA or not. The BBI just feels like a slogfest and I screwed up and lost my pawns pretty early my first attempt. I guess after all these hours already I should see it through, but also... meh Some of the boss rooms in BBI were way more fun.

Hollow Knight preview seems neat.

Yeah. They announced it with the american VA.
I actually also wonder what it could be. There is no "post game" in that game, ending spoilers:
The whole game is a loop, story-wise. Icey defeats Judas, the black hole destroys everything, the "universe" resets.
My initial gut check would say no, but you can contact them and ask them about it. I actually think they would probably hook you up as long as you asked nicely.
