(85% off - Historical Low) Assassin's Creed Origins - Gold Edition, Odyssey - Gold Edition

It's actually a lot of fun.

That's a bit harsh. I liked Odyssey, so I imagine Valhalla must be similar? Whether it's worth the price is another matter.

the reason why i've called the game trash is due to its sound design, it's still really messy and feels like you're playing a game in 1990s. in a viking themed game with great soundtracks where you can raid shit, having a sound quality this bad just ruins the overall experience.

It should work - depending on your regional prices. Just be aware that the season pass doesn't contain all DLC as was pointed out here. Also: that Ubisoft store is a pain to deal with, I can't even change the store language to English here in Germany. I've wrote them a ticket for that before, they said they'll look into it. Now, years later, it's still the same, it really makes me not wanna buy anything from them.

I've seen the promotion details, but I can't view the actual prices for any region other than my own. Meaning, I can't tell if this deal will work for folks outside EU.

Ah, I had suspected that the season pass doesn't actually contain all DLC - even though that should be the very definition of a season pass. Thanks for confirming that. Complete Edition is €28 here, meaning it'd be €18 with that deal. That deal for Brazil sounds much better, around $10 for the complete edition might actually be worth it.

Much cheaper than on Steam anyhow: https://steamdb.info/sub/791761/

After 10 years, Ubisoft shut down The Crew servers without even making a patch to play the single-player game offline.
Now, those of us who have the game show up as 'inactive game' and with the message: “You no longer have access to this game. Why not check the Store to pursue your adventures?".

What DarthLonginus said.

They also disabled the servers for Might & Magic X after seven years and by doing so, prevented players from accessing bought and paid for DLC (and due to being incompetent, fucked up the vanilla game so that you could no longer progress the main storyline).

They also ended support for Assassin's Creed 2 after ten years and by doing so, prevented players from accessing bought and paid for DLC because the DLCs have to contact the servers to verify that the content can be accessed. No servers, no verification, so no access to your paid product.
Their reasoning was: Well, you had several years to play the game. If you didn't, joke's on you. They completely lost any sense what buying a product really means.

And more things I am forgetting now...

steep discounts

only looks steep due to ridiculous high base price which never go down, even more absurd when 7 years old

can get much better deal with unHumble's monthlies containing much newer games ironically even

AC: O doesn't have as relevant online components as the aforementioned online games.

you can only access it for the next 3 years

Nobody except Ubisoft knows. I wouldn't bank on them being available for the long run, tho

May you always have enough water under your ship's bow :)

Are you sure about AC Liberation Remastered? I only see Assassin's Creed III Remastered on SteamDB 🤔

EDIT: Thanks for the heads up! I was also interested in AC3 Remastered so being included makes the purchase more appealing (it's already 8€ on its own).

definitely need uplay, so steam is out of the question in my opinion

Actually, Origins and Odyssey have Steam achievements.

I mean, if that works for you, that's all good. I think that's the smartest way to play it. I love gaming through Steam. I don't mind third party programs. I just want to have it all connected with Steam and achievements available to be able to display it on my profile. That's it!

Why would you feel lucky? They've revoked one game. That is to this point an anomaly.
