Great! Another huge game that I want to play but no extra time to dedicate to it at the moment.

There are soooo many awesome games and just too little time.

I had probably over 300+ hours into the original Fallout 3 back on the 360. I just got around to finally playing and finishing Fallout 4. As much as this pains me to say, I don't know if I'm too interested in revisiting the wasteland anytime soon.

Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games though. (Fallout 4 is pretty great as well!)

I wonder how many go directly to spam or into the trash?

None here.

There are sooooo many great games included in this sale. If I didn't subscribe to Ultimate and have a growing backlog of games included with the pass, I would definitely pick a game up.

We owned this on PS4 but I never really played it back then for longer than 15 minutes. Others in my family did and loved it. I played 3, Vice, and San Andreas a lot. I bought 4 but never gave it a chance because I was really into some other games at that time.

I will definitely pick this up while its on the pass.

I won't pay for this game. It's the visuals and style for me.

....and a huge backlog of other games that I want to play to take a chance on something I'm only a little interested in.

@Kaloudz Same here! But I'll probably DL it to play short sessions.

I don't think I'm interested in any of the other titles.

I have no comment about the practice of selling hard copies of games but needing to install additional stuff to make the game run.

I will say that I'm finally playing through the game and it's awesome. It was a bit of a slow start and I questioned if I should move on from it, but I stuck it out and I'm loving it now. It's really good if you give it a chance. I just arrived in Egypt in the game.

Won't happen, but I'd love a new Left4Dead.

So, I've spent most of my time since December finally playing through Fallout 4. I did spend time playing Balatro during this time period too. I finally finished Fallout last Friday and was going to wait patiently for South of Midnight.....but I instead I started Indiana Jones instead. I will say that Balatro is my favorite game that I downloaded this year but I also think that came out in 2024 so I'm not sure that counts. Lonely Mountains is really good for what it is.

So I'll say that because most of the games I've played are older, and because that limits my choice, I'll go with Indian Jones. The game looks amazing. The experience is cool. The story is cool. I just don't think it does anything groundbreaking.

@FraserG I try to give it a second go and report back.

@FraserG Maybe I did something wrong because I currently subscribe to Gamepass Ultimate, but for some reason, the version of Madden I thought was incomplete. Maybe I missed something in game, but I thought it said I couldn't do ultimate team in Madden.

Hey I'm still relatively new to Gamepass so this may be a dumb question, but:

Are all the EA Sports titles that are on Gamepass not fully unlocked versions?

I'm typically Nintendo first gamer, but this has me very happy to keep paying for my Gamepass fee!

I've had gamepass on and off on the PC for over 2 years, but I've had ultimate going every month since December. I have no regrets. It has awesome value and I don't second guess it.

I'm close to finally completing Fallout 4 and I'm pumped to start either this on day 1 or playing Indiana Jones, then South of Midnight.

I'll patiently wait but I don't think that's a bad deal for what you're getting. If I wasn't preoccupied with other games at the moment, I think I would consider this one.

I'll be playing the Blizzard Arcade Collection. I loved The Lost Vikings when it originally came out many many years ago. I'm excited to see how it's aged.

I'll vote "NONE". Should have been an obvious choice.

Unless Microsoft/Xbox are rescuing these IPs because Ubi is completely done, I'd personally like them all to stay where they belong.

The other exception would be Xbox dumping money into Ubi developing something for Xbox that maybe they haven't done or need help with. Sort of like Nintendo did with Bayonetta.

@FraserG @Beetlebum91 For some reason I always seem to gravitate to the Two Pair and Straight as well. I find the hand isn't near as important as the Joker combos.

@Beetlebum91 I know the question wasn't directed at me but I find it interesting. I tend to use straights or two pair a lot and I was just thinking about if other gamers had a tendency to lean on a specific hand like me. The flush is something I always forget to look for.

I currently have 11 hours into this game. I love it. I've complete 2-3 runs, I can't remember exactly how many but it's definitely multiple runs completed. I've sat down and played this for a couple hours after getting sucked into "just one more game"! I've also used this game as quick sessions to provide a break from playing more story driven games. I also played this game when I've had only 15-20 minutes to game. The game is simple yet very strategic. I find it to really shine when you stumble upon a combination of joker cards that just shoot your scores up.

I apologize for asking what I anticipate being a dumb question....but, what is Game Club?

I understand that it's a community group that play a different game each month and discuss it. But is there other criteria? Are the games chosen based on anything or just by vote?

I voted "10", but after thinking more, I think I'm more like a 7 or 8. I'm hopeful that this game plays well. I'm sold on the art style, world, and story. I currently subscribe to Ultimate Gamepass so I'll probably be checking it out day 1 or at least soon after release.

It's really good. The gameplay and strategy is a lot of fun. I managed to complete a run by the 2nd-3rd day. I have high hopes for what this game can become in future sequels; if they decide to make sequels.

I'm having trouble understanding the comments saying its not a game. Sure it may not be for everyone but it's not just video poker.

I think the second statistic is more telling than the first.

The first number is 70% and refers to players who played one of those top 10 Live Service games in the month of January. That could be someone like me who played Marvel Rivals one time for like 30 minutes.

The second number of 40% represents total time spent playing one of those same games. Like others already pointed out, there are other Live Service games that aren't included in that number because they're outside of the top 10. That number is huge! It's almost half the total time played in January is dedicated to just those 10 games....all of which are Live Service.

I also find it interesting that the Switch is probably the opposite. Most of those games aren't even on the system. (this is just a guess, don't kill me if that info is out there somewhere)

I've almost pulled the trigger on this many times over on the Switch but I knew it would show up on Gamepass so I've been patiently waiting. I got to sample it on Dave the Diver.

Last night, I played it for about 3 hours. I loved every minute of my game session. I can't wait to play it again. It's simple, yet very strategic. If you're looking for deep story and killer graphics, this isn't it. If you're looking for pick-up and play fun, it's awesome.

I knew this day would come and I have patiently waited for it. Can't wait to dive into this one.

I'll check this out eventually. Hopefully by the time I get to it, the bugs will be fixed.

It's terrific! I'm enjoying it at the moment as a "change of pace" game.

I appreciate the review; even if it's not what I wanted it to be.
