Looks like this Fall's new promo coming from Nvidia: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/bullets-or-blades-geforce-gtx-bundle

Enabling ultra settings and GameWorks effects at higher resolutions will require serious pixel-pushing prowess, as you can imagine, so for many an upgrade will be in order. From today, if you upgrade your system with a GeForce GTX 980 Ti, GeForce GTX 980 or GeForce GTX 970, or purchase a new GeForce GTX 970M or higher notebook, you opt for bullets or blades to receive a free downloadable copy of Assassins Creed Syndicate, or Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Please breach if old.

Brannon · Oct 6, 2015

Well then... Huh.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they are very good games, but dat risk...

johnnydrama · Oct 6, 2015

Ubisoft PC ports. you say? Well, good luck to you sir.

ViciousDS · Oct 6, 2015

hahahaha.......Yes, glad I got Witcher 3 with my 970 earlier this year....I still have a batman code as well, but that wasn't so hot at launch.

JaseC · Oct 6, 2015

To answer the inevitable question: No, the keys will not be for Steam.

Fatal Futanari · Oct 6, 2015

Nice. Now I can probably get Siege for really cheap now.

Jtrizzy · Oct 6, 2015

I'll buy a syndicate code off eBay $30-35.

Enter the Dragon Punch · Oct 6, 2015

That's not Fallout 4

Ricerocket · Oct 6, 2015

I got Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight with my 970 before. This... is not something that would draw buyers imo.

It should honestly include both since they'll both be buggy messes.

Lingitiz · Oct 6, 2015

Ahh the yearly AC PC port that runs like trash, bundled with Nvidia cards.

Fracas · Oct 6, 2015

This means I can get Rainbow Six for like $20 from the BST thread

niiice

LQX · Oct 6, 2015

Ha. Glad I got my cards when they were offering MGSV. Was able to sell them for
$40. With UBISoft track record I doubt those looking to save a bit extra on their cards will be able to sell these for much.

Yeah, whenever they give out Ubi games, they're redeemed in uPlay so I just assumed this was still the case.

Ugh, I hate uPlay...

Ktsdaddy · Oct 6, 2015

Are they trying to increase sales using uplay games as a perk? Not sure that is good marketing!

Disxo · Oct 6, 2015

R6 is the only good choice in that pack though...

Not only another chance to play a shoddy Ubisoft PC port, but another opportunity to experience the wonderful DRM world of uPlay...

impact · Oct 6, 2015

Not even kidding if I was planning on upgrading I would wait till they offered something else. Games both look awful and you can't even sell Uplay codes for decent value.

Thankfully I'm broke and have no plans on upgrading anytime soon!

bananafactory · Oct 6, 2015

Awesome, just bought a GTX980 not 2 weeks ago

Granjinha · Oct 6, 2015

Damn, i got really lucky with The Witcher 3/Batman, huh

EDIT: Even though Batman was a shitshow for a looooooong time

Renekton · Oct 6, 2015

Guys, those are unlikely to be bad games.

Maintenance · Oct 6, 2015

At least I got 200h+ out of MGSV when I got my new card.

uPlay, ugh.

AppleMIX · Oct 6, 2015

Safe bet is siege.

They had a beta and it ran well on my setup.

I only own one game on Uplay itself: Tintin, since Ubi never did anything with this.

I've also never played the bloody thing. "Out of sight, out of mind" and all that.

Kintaro · Oct 6, 2015

I'll still keep my eyes out for a Battlefront or Fallout deal with a 980 ti in November. I can dream. =x

Tagyhag · Oct 6, 2015

Phew, glad I ended up with MGSV.

Same, just bought my card last month.

Hasney · Oct 6, 2015

Ah, I still remember getting Assasins Creed Brotherhood with my 560ti. This was pretty UPlay and now I can never redownload the game apparently because they wanted money to."insure"/the purchase AKA allow more than one download.

Sure, things are better now, but I still find it hilarious.

PHOENIXZERO · Oct 6, 2015

So, who's going to contact NewEgg and try to get a copy from their previous card purchase? lol

Vitor711 · Oct 6, 2015

Sweet - AC: Syndicate will be like $20 on CD-Key sites then. I might actually buy it at that price.

Also, after MGSV and The Witcher 3, these deals do not hold up. Then again, I was one of the lucky people who got the above two AND Batman so my 980 purchase seemed like one heck of a deal.

satire77 · Oct 6, 2015

Screw this.

I was just thinking on building a new rig and buying a 980ti for next week.

There goes my hope for a fallout4 bundle.

Garrett Hawke · Oct 6, 2015

Bought mine two weeks ago ish, hope Amazon will honour it. I'll probably go Syndicate, I was meaning to get it anyway~

Spookie · Oct 7, 2015

Cool, loads of incredibly cheap ubisoft games for sale in the upcoming months then.

Unity runs fine on PC, best version by far and if the beta is any indication RSS is safe too. The bigger question is if the games themselves are worth a damn.

Sure, they even 'upgraded' people from Batman to MGS.

FTFY

Seriously though, I'm playing devil's advocate. Syndicate is deffo a risk after Unity last year but I buy all the AC games for the historical recreation aspect, which no other series offers (and they're still decent fun). Also Siege may be a wash out, except for the co-op mode, which is basically certified great. I wasn't interested in the game at all until I tried Terrorist Hunt on Realistic in the Beta some of the best AI I've ever seen and probably the best co-op mode the series has ever had. The competitive mode wasn't worthwhile, though.

I would definitely go in for this if I hadn't built my rig in August and got the MGSV deal - which I'm still pretty happy with even though I have it on PS4. All the mods.
