    There are some NON Back-Compat 360 games on sale too. Legend of Kay - Anniversary is on sale for the first time ever and I snatched it up. Digital only and released ONLY on the 360 (not the ONE) in 2015.
    Thanks! Those are important to point out.

    Is the Diablo prime evil collection worth it? My only experience with Diablo was the beta for 4 and I loved it.
    I was wondering the same thing. I hadn't played a Diablo game since I played the first one on my parents' pc as a kid. I had just added these to my wishlist to keep an eye out for them as I probably won't be getting D4 until closer to Black Friday/holiday time. I was curious if this was a worthy deal at this price for the combo.
    I've only played Diablo 3 (bought on sale while on the freeplay w/e recently). I really enjoyed it - fun campaign and lots of other things to do as well. Can be done solo if you want, as you can take various companions with you.

    Some grindy achievements I may or may not still finish eg "Complete 500 Bounties" and "Reach level 70 in 6 different classes". (I've done 3.5 so far.) Really cool second playthrough, once I played as a Necromancer ;-)

    Warning: the "Kill the Butcher" achievement still hasn't unlocked, and I've killed him many, many times now. Lol.

    I hate when the Xbox version of a game goes on sale but the Windows version doesn't. I really want that Kingdom Come Deliverance Win 10 for that price!
    I really hope in the summer sale they go crazy on windows games. Control, metro saga, and kingdom come.
    Yeah they've really scaled back their attention to Windows games the past couple of years. Remember when they used to put ACA NeoGeo games on sale weekly?

    The guy that kept posting about Tomb Raider games will be happy

    Also, what a fucking deal on Jurassic World Evolution 2 with all DLC!! Too bad the game is horrible
    He will never be happy, for his soul longs for the Tomb Raider but once he has obtained it, what else does he have to live for?

    Everything you love will eventually kill you in the end.
    I'm that guy. I was, able to actually get all the games on sale a few months back! But then Tomb Raider irretrievably bugged out on me close to the end and I was unable to finish it. 😭

    I freaking love that game and that deal is eye-popping!

    For those that don’t know those story DLCs tie into the past two Jurassic World movies and include the original voice actors.

    With that said a few of the achievements are backbreaking. But for pure dino fun, yeah, it’s great!
    Any idea if that's the end of the DLC, or will there be more 'complete' editions in the future? Seems like a decent sale price, though mostly due to the steep regular pricing on the DLC! I see the last DLC was released in December... I'm getting Cities Skylines vibes here.
    I haven’t followed that but I assume we’ll get at least one more dinosaur pack (possibly will correspond with some Camp Cretaceous stuff or just more feathered dinos) and I just don’t know about story based though if they can mine something out of Camp Cretaceous or something like a Dr. Wu epilogue I’m sure they will. Maybe an expansion on Owen’s ranch, there’s a single campaign mission on it but I could see them trying for something big.

    Given the sale prices on the original Jurassic World and DLC though, I don’t expect it to get any cheaper. In fact getting the base game plus both the story DLCs for that price is amazing, they’re both $20 DLCs at launch.
    We are getting a free decorative Update on June and some DLC later. There probably won't be any complete edition until game ends support just like the first game, the funny part is that steam already has an edition with all the current dlc.

    Yes! and I played some on game pass and never finished them and now they aren’t on sale ever again haha! :((((

    I saw that same $15 just for you offer as well when going for the purchase. adding to the backlog list of stuff to play. By that time D4 may have a complete/ultimate edition.

    I have that offer as well and it’s not on my Wishlist (plus I own all of the Diablo 3 stuff already). I think right now the Just For You stuff is basically the same popular stuff offered to every Game Pass user.
