About That Tom Clancy Humble Bundle 9/1/15

First of all all those games in the bundle have Uplay DRM, I mean to say they're activated on Uplay and will be launched and played through the Uplay client only. 

 

https://www.humblebundle.com/

 

Why is it that I can't find the original Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six 3 listed in the Uplay Store after doing searches? If these games are available through Uplay, why doesn't their store search bring them up? Wouldn't that mean the only way to get these games through Uplay is through this bundle in the first place? I found the Original Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six 3 listed on Steam, but not the original Rainbow Six.

 

I'm confused to why you can't even find these classic games through the Uplay store, yet they're in the bundle. You look up Rainbow Six 3 or Ghost Recon, then the newer games and addons crowd the search results, you look through to see if it's buried, then you can't find it.

They're probably ghosts on their servers that can only be accessed through this.

 

I was thinking of how you can activate Batman Arkham Knight right now if you had a GTX coupon code, but if you wanted to purchase it right now through steam it would be a pre-order or you can't buy it at all.

Which of the games in the bundle would not be compatible with Windows 10? Securom isn't just disc based DRM?

Microsoft acknowledged it I do believe.

I'm not sure about the disc only part, but I know chaos theory uses securom

Maybe they removed it for digital version because of uplay drm. Look into it before buying.

You don't want to know how many hours I spent playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2... IMHO best FPS ever at the time. I bet they add it to the bundle.

I almost paid a dollar then realised they activate through Uplay, I'd rather wipe my arse with my money than give it to Uplay.

Even steam versions require uplay...

 

I think people exaggerate uplay a little bit more than necessary. It works just fine. It's not as community friendly as steam, but it does work.

So have I. Blacklist was a nightmare. It loops into a patch download every time I start it. I had to download the patches manually and install each one. It was pretty annoying because it really should have been fixed by now.

But that's my worst experience to date. Everything else has been near flawless.

That's unfortunate. Ubisoft sure does make some fun games.

I only have FC3 Blood Dragon on Uplay. Since I just upgraded from a 6870 to a R9 380 last month I thought I'd revisit this game I never got around to playing 2 years ago. I got my copies of Bioshock Infinite and Blood Dragon through an AMD Never Settle bonus from a friends 7850 purchase for a build I did for him. I turned everything up except for AA which I left off, looked pretty good. It's like I can't use AA in any DX11 games without the frames dropping to 30 FPS. I wonder if it's some kinda CPU bottleneck and need to OC from 3.3 Ghz to 4.0+. I had much more modest settings a few years ago with FC3 BD, so this was still a 2x+ upgrade from a 6870.

 

I'd be getting this bundle for Blacklist because it's the only Splinter Cell game I don't have on PC. I damn near payed $30 for some Steam Sale bundle with all the Splinter Cell games 3 years ago. I haven't even tried playing any of those games to this day, yet if the bundle was on Steam I probably would've already taken the $10 one no questions asked. 

 

I may have experienced that Uplay patch bug with FC3 BD. I had to wait for some kinda update twice the same day. I understand a 250MB patch after not playing for years, but the second one was less than a MB and hung for no apparent reason the next time I launched it.

IDK about most games, but Ghost Recon launches through uplay. Even if you have it on steam.

The engine roars but then it gives, but never dies

On the scraps that you throw awaaaaaay
