Probably with their odious DRM (though I see no mention of it), but at 13$ USD for 4 titles I can probably cope with it. Farcry 2: Fortune's edition, Assassins Creed: directors cut, Call of Juarez and Tom Clancy's rainbow six vegas 2. Fortunately my dislike of Ubisoft means I own none of them, although I've played farcry2, so good value.

Rainbow six was pretty okay, call of juarez was ... average, I suppose (even though I dearly wish there'd be more western-inspired games), farcry 2 was not to my liking (constantly respawning guards because I walk away for 5 seconds? come on.), and AC I kept hearing got monotonous real quick.
In short, I'd definitely buy the pack if I didn't have rainbow six already, and give no fucks about farcry2's activations (still? a full 2.5 years after release? come on.). AC:DC is sort of tempting me as I'm curious as to how it actually plays.

I just can't justify giving Ubisoft any money while they have their horrid DRM policies on new stuff.

Yeah, Farcry 2 is pretty and the gunplay is better than just cause 2 but the endless procession of hostiles was just over the top. At least in just cause 2 I could cross the map without having to fight through an encampment of hostiles at every intersection.
I mostly wanted to see the Assassins creed gameplay.

I don't have a problem with giving them money for their stuff, as long as it doesn't have DRM on it, as it theoretically could convince them otherwise. In practice, however, the PC having a 2% market share the last 9 months (down from 18% or so 5 years ago) leads me to believe that it really doesn't matter. I can say that the rainbow six game would be worth that price alone, though, unless you're really "ugh old graphics". |

The only game in there I'd care to play would be Call of Juarez since I've already finished Assassin's Creed 1 on the 360, but I won't pay $12.99 for it especially if it might have the digital clap.

Ditto, Haem. Far Cry 2 is a lot of fun and works good in 3D, need to get back to that one. So many games, so little time.

I don't care if playing one of their games cures cancer or creates peace in the middle east, I won't be buying any Ubisoft game until they get rid of the DRM they have.

It appears Far Cry has 3rd party DRM and the other 3 do not, as far as I can tell.

I found Vegas 1 to be more compelling and better than Vegas 2. Vegas 2 just rubbed me the wrong way even though I want to see how that story ends.

Certainly doesn't look like I'm the only one.

Difference is they aren't seeing it in the bushes and haven't issued a restraining order. Just because people don't like Ubi's nasty DRM, doesn't make you less crazy.  edit: People hating and not willing to put up with certain DRM is completely reasonable. Seriously, who the fuck would want starforce on their machine? |
