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.

why so serious?

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?
