Ubisoft gives you the bait :D You like AC 3? Wanna know the prequel or the sequel of the story? Maybe both? Grab this deal right here :D
Comment has been collapsed.
They don't want to scare you away from the series :P
Actually, if they don't, why are they giving away AC3?
Comment has been collapsed.
lol tbh every assassin's creed after a.c. 3 has a shitty story , who cares about gameplay if the story is boring af.
Comment has been collapsed.
tbh, I loved the story of Unity, guess I'm a crazy person :P

I've just finished playing it and am now on Platinum hunt. I enjoyed it a lot but I would find it really hard to give a summary of the main plot... There are lots of interesting pieces like Arno's relationship to Elise but somehow I found the overall conspiracy plot lacking.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, AC3 is the second buggiest game in the series, being so buggy that falling through the ground still is a common cause for game overs, and I could actually not even beat the DLC because there was a spot where the ground just did not work. Apart from that, there were plenty of rather serious bugs, like mission objectives not updating and forcing reloads. The game plays like it's in mid-beta with the latest patch.
If I were to pick a game to give away like this, I would have picked the second one. It's quite good. I also like the 4th one.
Comment has been collapsed.
All of that is true but what I found the biggest flaw in AC3 was simply the lack of real buidings... One of the big strenghts of the AC franchise is climbing around on impressive historical buildings and 3 just doesn't have that. Black Flag was weak in this regard as well but at least there you had Havana, which was more than just a few wooden sheds.

It doesn't make any sense on a business standpoint , if you wanna learn why desmond is there in the third a.c. and who are his friends you should've played AT LEAST from the second one , so yeah , they had a good business strategy . About the bugs, I've never encountered those myself , the game was quite enjoyable and brought some new features, sure conor might not be full of personality but how could you be with only 1 game? ezio maybe was good in a.c. 2 , but if he was never brought back for brotherhood or revelations ( which was bad aswell, no plot explaination whatsoever) he wouldn't have been a memorable character.
Comment has been collapsed.
To me, the game was a mess. And when I looked online to see if anyone else had reported similar problems, well, they were apparently quite widespread, at least the ones that were easily googled. One issue that seems to have been particularly common with the PC version was the caravans bugging out and being "occupied" forever, something that happened right at the start of the game for me, thus I could not make any money. This was actually an issue that was present in Revelations as well, with the money generation from buildings not working properly for a lot of people on PC. AC4 was also really buggy, but there were fewer bugs that forced you to reload your last save.
It's hard to tell exactly how widespread those bugs were, but I experienced a lot of rather serious bugs, and I know that I was at least not alone in this regard. (Unity was buggier, but then again, Unity is known for being buggy. It was actually kinda funny when the last boss did not animate, and just vibrated around the room, in a basic T-pose).
I don't think the number of games is the issue here. Conor was boring. The first character that you get to play, Haytham Kenway, was a lot more interesting, despite only getting a relatively small portion of the game for himself. Ezio was not an amazing character either, but even if you only count what you see in AC2, he was far far better than Conor.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ezio was a huge part on the success of a.c. , i don't agree to the second part of your comment. I've never played unity since my pc wouldn't be able to run it at a decent enough fps i guess... hell , even the newest nvidia gpus couldn't lol , so i'll trust you on that one. I also didn't like the changes they did with the whole pirate thingy in black flag , don't get me wrong , they were good as secondary missions.. but primary? c'mon now.... also i got a bug on that game where i would fall off the world with my ship :D was funny af

After 3
And here I thought 3 had the worst conceived protagonist of all (maybe except Rogue).
Comment has been collapsed.
the real protagonist was desmond miles.... after the ending of the third one a.c. was never the same , they should've dropped the others and called them another name.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure, in a way he is but in AC you've always spent just ~ 10% playing Desmond and the vast majority playing as one of his ancestors so I consider them the protagonists.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, that depends on how you look at it. The main protagonist for each game is mainly the guy you spend most of the game with. The main protagonist for the overarching story is Desmond. The games would have been better without Desmond ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
No they wouldn't lol ,look at them now... desmond's story was the only reason i played through revelations , it was a mess of a game and i ended up being disappointed.

Either your links are bad or it was a lrice error or a lot of people want this.All i get is 404
Comment has been collapsed.
I can access them so my guess would be that they have different links on different Ubisoft Store regional servers. My links are for EU BTW and these deals are part of Ubisoft's Crazy Deals so you can search for them on your regional store :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It is where you are from, if you try and access it in the US, it redirects you to their US store.
I used a proxy to see I was in Europe and it came up just fine. Not buying it, but just wanted to see what all it was.
Edit: But trying to access it in the US, it isn't on their US store so it doesn't show.
Comment has been collapsed.
So it isn't available to US citizen then? I assumed it is, since whatever Ubi has for Europeans, they have it for USA too.
Comment has been collapsed.
It might not be posted here yet, but as it stands, you can't get it from the US store yet.
But since it is keys and most likely not region restricted keys, you could probably still purchase them and redeem them on a US steam account.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's still one day earlier in the states (East Coast is currently at 9:40PM). If it's intended to line up with the AC3 advent calendar day as part of that day's promotions, it's likely just a matter of waiting a few hours for us in the states.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh never thought of that,though like you i was more curious of the deal then actually buying it.
Also if i would have looked a little closer at the link i might have figured that out on my own,it was late and i was tired lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm Bronze pack is good, want to buy Brotherhood and Revelations one of these days. Will probably just grab them separatedly on Steam or something, though. Still, neat deals. And yeah lol, just in time for the AC 3 giveaway hype :D
Comment has been collapsed.
$165 AUD for the animus pack, which is well over 100 EUR/USD. Hmmm...
Comment has been collapsed.
€ 84,99 here, you also can get 20% off with 100 Club Units.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got most of them (still missing Syndicate) for around 50€ so far
Comment has been collapsed.
if you buy the three packs you pay 10+20+35 = 65, but you miss 1 and 3
3 i free in December and you can get 1 in any sale for a few €s
So why should anyone buy the hole package?
Comment has been collapsed.
Because only the Animus package contains all DLCs and Season Passes. Among the packs only the Gold tier has Complete editions to offer. Also you miss AC Chronicles Trilogy too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm from Europe, Belgium and the links don't work for me either. But I could google the store and see the deals there. Though the pricing seems to be inconsistent for the gold and animus packs, either 34.99€ and 84.99€ or 39.99€ and 99.99€ depending if I go to the dutch store or the french store. FarCry also has similar deals.
Comment has been collapsed.
The FarCry packs already exist for a few weeks though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, the Ubi store it defaults to for me is the french one, which has more expensive prices for absolutely no reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not that I know much french, but because my country is bilingual most sites default to french because they don't know any better.
Comment has been collapsed.
Should we wait for the glitches?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for sharing the info! The Silver pack could be worth it, gotta check it later at home.
Comment has been collapsed.
this is not available to brazil... I suppose.
nuuvem sold these items for a similar price once (when I bought them all, except season passes)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm confused - does the 20% adds to initial discount making it 88% off, or it only applies to the final price?
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't buy it yet but I suppose it should work on top of the ongoing discount.
EDIT: Nope, sadly it doesn't stack :/ You have to pay 85 euros.
Comment has been collapsed.
So the extra 20% off can't be applied with the concurrent promotion? Welp, I guess I'll pass this one. AU$149.99 is way too expensive for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Seems like it :/ If you have a ton of points you can try to buy a voucher but as per the description it won't be applied :/
Comment has been collapsed.
If an item is already on sale, only the highest discount will be applied; also, they don't work on preorders and newly released titles, so those 20% coupons are virtually useless for games, their only practical use is for merchandise (if I remember correctly).
Comment has been collapsed.
Says so in the shop discount tab
"In case a product is already discounted, only the most important discount will be applied"
Comment has been collapsed.
Ubisoft got the broze/silver/gold packs wrong. ACII, Brotherhood, and Revelations should be gold. :^)
Comment has been collapsed.
it's about how much you need to pay, not how good the games are xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Okayish deal, probably around the same price or a bit cheaper then in the upcoming winter sale. But I only buy games on steam (I know it has Uplay DRM though).
Comment has been collapsed.
The US version is finally up.
The Animus Pack is 110 USD. It'd be cheaper to buy it in Euros.
Comment has been collapsed.
Decided to jump on the gold pack. Would've maybe gotten gold and silver but I just got Black Flag from a trade. I'll hold of and see what kind of discount Rogue gets during the winter sale and decide then.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wish I could get the silver pack, I'm missing all 3 of those, guess I'll have to buy it if I have some money again sometime :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I would buy the bronze pack but not for $15, that seems like the standard discount per game ($5 each). Are there any promo codes to discount this further?
Comment has been collapsed.
Wouldn't be nice if they did this on Steam with a bundle?
I have most AC games (deluxe/gold editions) already, missing Rogue, Unity and Syndicate. Also Chronicles.
Comment has been collapsed.
That would be pretty amazing to us and a great deal. So, probably not gonna happening xD
Comment has been collapsed.
My thoughts exactly. :(
But I can dream :D
And I sent a suggestion to Ubi, not that they will care but, I tried :|
Comment has been collapsed.
There is a Steam bundle for AC IV, Rogue, Unity and Syndicate: http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/757/
Also I don't know why would you want an extra DRM on top of Uplay. It gives you more hassle. I bought Watch Dogs 2 for Steam thinking that I will get a key for Uplay, but nooooo. It just got linked with my Uplay profile and now it won't run without Steam.
Also Valve gets a cut for every sale Ubisoft has on Steam Store so they'd have to price the games higher.
Comment has been collapsed.
The advantage would be mainly monetary. With the steam bundle and able to buy what you are missing with a discount.
I know that bundle but these are no the deluxe/gold editions. Reason I haven't bought it.
The double DRM isn't good meaning higher chances for problems and service outage of either would create more hassle than good but I already have most on Steam already, would prefer to have all on my Steam library as well.
With the amount of sales they make on Steam instead of Uplay I bet they make more profit with Steam :D
Comment has been collapsed.
meh, i have 2,3, black flag, brotherhood and revelations in my uplay. im curious to get unity since its set in France. but im also aware of the memes...
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, Ubi updated the price. Now it costs 100 EUR :/
Comment has been collapsed.
is there any difference between owning them on steam or uplay? I do prefer to have everything on steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, if you get them on the ubistore, you won't have to keep two clients open while playing (steam AND uplay).
Comment has been collapsed.
You have to keep Steam and Uplay running. My college took away wired net connection and on the wifi only Uplay is available. So games that need double-DRM are kinda hard to run.
Comment has been collapsed.
Apart from the double DRM "issue" stated above, if you own Ubisoft games on Steam, you can only buy their DLCs on the Steam store itself, as every other place where you can buy Ubisoft games only sells Uplay keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey guys,
This is a really sweet deal I just found on Ubisoft's Store: You can get ALL of the Assassin's Creed games plus Season Passes and DLC for a low-low price of 100 EUR! If you sacrifice 100 Uplay points MAYBE you can get it for as low as 80 EUR. I think this is the best deal ever mainly for those who doesn't own any or own only a few games. The discount runs until January 7th so you have time :) http://store.ubi.com/eu/assassin-s-creed--animus-pack/584543894e01656a168b4567.html
Also if you only miss games from a certain "era", you can get them in form of Bronze, Silver and Gold packs.
Bronze contains AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations http://store.ubi.com/eu/assassin-s-creed--bronze-pack/58453df74e016558168b4567.html
Silver contains Black Flag, Rogue and Liberation HD http://store.ubi.com/eu/assassin-s-creed--silver-pack/584541fdef3aa537728b4567.html
and Gold contains Unity Complete and Syndicate Gold Edition http://store.ubi.com/eu/assassin-s-creed--gold-pack/58453ee4adc72412798b4567.html
If you have even the slightest interest in the AC series this is a perfect gift for Christmas :D
