Im going to bite on ESO but will wait until winter sale. At least I'll hope it's the same or better in a few weeks
Hoping Best Buy will do the $20 after GCU thing again once the PC version is restocked. (Eventually)
So, uh, success I guess?
The order was originally canceled due to it being out-of-stock, but after a few hours the order was un-canceled, and I got the code.
Really weird, but I'm not complaining about it. Looks like I still got charged, so everything seems to have been corrected -- albeit with some twists and turns along the way.
haha grats, that's strange indeed

So I'm probably going to grab Pillars of Eternity.
For anyone who has played, should I be getting the expansions as well? Do they add to the overall game, or are they simply a separate segmented section that is added on later in the game or something?
Like would it make sense to just have it all immediately, or buy the white march somewhere down the road after playing the game for a while?

Both the original and its sequel are fantastic puzzle platformers. Highly recommended.
White March is mostly in separate areas, but it makes more sense to play it embedded in the game rather than after you've completed it.
Really happy with my restraint this go-round. Couple big-ticket items and one egghead Early Access game.
Doom
Hitman
Rogue System
Great sale!

But I hated the gameplay (well, the balance) of DOS (at launch). Has it changed that much?

it's great, do it.
The combat is my favorite thing about the game. If you like RTwP combat then I suspect there's a good chance youll enjoy it as well. There's still a ton of narrative to wade through all the same.
I know there was a critical flaw in the pacing of DOS where if you left the first town and headed in the wrong direction, you would get crushed by OP mobs. Essentially the game never told you to stay out of opening areas you were too under-leveled to handle.
Don't know if that info is telegraphed better now, but I do remember it turning me off at first.

I just bought it yesterday and played it for around 5 hours. Very good so far.
I actually played the game at least halfway. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but my melee character's hit percentage and skill cooldowns were absurdly low even when buffed. Even then, I could rarely hit more than one enemy at a time in a field of half a dozen or more. My mage had AoE spells but the damage output was almost negligible at times. Like every encounter felt like a bossfight and not in a good or fair way.
If it helps, Falcom was quite prescient about quality of life improvement when TitS was made. I'm mediocre at games, and I had a blast with it. The story starts slow but it's something special, especially with its ending.
Bundlestars has a 3 Lego games for $10 promo: https://www.bundlestars.com/en/promotions/lego-pick-mix
The only Lego game I've played is Lego City Undercover (which I loved). What would people recommend from this list?
e: Oh, you can save 11% with the code CYBERMONDAY11, so really it's 3 games for $8.90

Only bought Divinity: Original Sin so far (and a price mistake Life is Strange).
Tempted by Witcher 3 but it's weird knowing that the next Steam sale is coming so soon.

Marvel's Super Heroes was my favourite Lego game. Lego Batman 2 I really enjoyed as well. I haven't played the others in that promotion.

I liked Lego Marvel Super Heroes and Lego Lord of the Rings. I tried The Lego Movie as well, but it's a bad port - not even a widescreen option.
hmm isn't avengers still pretty expensive? might bite

I was wondering why rogue system has such a deep discount out of the blue and I saw that the dev needs a second job to continue developing the game because the sales were minimum. It's sad since it's seem an incredible deep game

Still waiting for Civ VI (from the price mistake) to be removed from my Steam library. I'm curious on how long it will take.

Don't be. It's one of four JRPGs I have ever completed. (Chrono Trigger, FFVII, Persona 4, Trails in the Sky).
I don't think they ever removed games that were bought through a price mistake.
I preordered Evolve for 8$, and CIVV: Brave New World for 2$ from traders due to mistakes and those were never removed

They returned the money and said they were going to so I'm assuming they will. Saw someone post a response from support saying it would be the first of December or something like that. I think they have to go through the publisher.

You're in for a treat
Not if the mistake was on the Steam Store itself, no, although Trion Worlds forced Valve's hand earlier in the year when it blacklisted the keys Steam had generated for those who bought Rift's Ultimate Edition DLC from the Thai store, where it was mistakenly ~99.5% cheaper. As said users had a worthless product, Valve revoked the licences and refunded everyone the 70c they'd paid.
Awww, that's a shame.
Didn't know sales were slow as I thought the game looked incredible from the moment it showed up on Steam.
The impression of the combat depends greatly on how much you like RtwP. I love it, so I also really enjoyed the combat.
Wow, for the people who said Refunct was short, but good.... well, they're half right.
Picked it up based on the praise people gave it during the sale, and 15 minutes later, it was over. And if it was a really captivating 15 minutes, I'd be fine with it, but it's REALLY boring. You jump on a bunch of pillars over to a button, more pillars pop out of the water, you jump over to a button on the new set, and repeat until the game's over. You have to do some wall jumping at a few parts, and that's the extent of any challenge the game has.
I only paid 98 cents for it, and I still feel ripped off.

Civ vi price mistake wasn't on the steam store
tbf for $1 it's a pretty good game.
Bundlestars has a pick and choose from 3 lego games bundle for 9.78€ (using the cybermonday11 code), its a pretty good deal since it has recent stuff like Jurassic World and Avengers, its only missing Force Awakens.
Might grab Jurassic World and Avengers since its the only 2 besides Force Awakens im missing, and then the Avengers season pass (its either the Avengers season pass or the Lego Batman 3 season pass, and im a Marvel fanboy so)
edit: and im super late with this

They are good games but unless they have been massively fixed up, they are terrible ports.
