Assassin's Creed 2 and SH5 owners get free UBI game (merged) - Page 8

I meant no offense Arclight. I only intended to infer that the AC2 crowd received a more robust selection of free games to choose from, that's all. Again, sorry if that was taken for a slight in any way.

Ah, it's alright mate, I'm just too touchy.

Normally I wouldn't be, but all the bashing and general mayhem about SH5 is getting on my nerves.

Still it's nothing compared to your daily FPS forum poorly moderated or moderated by the same kind of jerks

The pages from the Ubisoft e-mail are here:
http://princeofpersia.gamesplanet.co...ewsusersac2sh5
http://shaunwhite.gamesplanet.com/sh...ewsusersac2sh5

Both have an "Official Site" link in the lower-right of the page, taking you to these two places respectively (for me in the UK, at least):

http://prince-of-persia.uk.ubi.com/
http://shaunwhitegame2.uk.ubi.com/

However, the features and styles of the games there didn't quite match those on the download pages linked to by the e-mail.

A short investigation concluded that the two sites above are for the newer versions of these two games, namely "Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands" and "Shaun White Snowboarding 2" - NOT the games on offer.

So if you're looking to get some info on these two games from Ubisoft's site before picking which one to download, think again!

Even if you go to www.ubi.com and browse their games on the main page, and click through to the "Official Site", the same problem exists. Very smart!

I appreciate their offer, but can't they get anything right first time?

no idea what your on about, the links they sent you are for the games they are offering. wether another link within that page takes you elsewhere is quite irrelevant given the amount of info on the link they actually sent you.

using there very own search facility i was instantly met with this link. http://www.ubi.com/UK/Games/Info.aspx?pId=7090 which clearly is the PoP game they are offering. so yeah they can get it right first time.

Indeed. Been avoiding those places so hard that I seem to be forgetting how bad it can be.

Wait, what was this about again? Ow yeah; free stuff, woot!

walsh2509 · 03-25-10, 09:31 PM

Seen it reported on http://www.bluesnews.com/

Are all owners of SH5 getting this offer ? I have not had an email from Ubi about it .. Only Ubi email I got yesterday was an Ad for Red Steel 2

Hans Schultz · 03-25-10, 10:21 PM

I dont want a free game!! I want a fixed SH5. I know the modders are doing a great job, but its not their job to fix the game.

gimpy117 · 03-26-10, 12:32 AM

AGREE.

If they are doing this, then it is an addmittance to a problem on their part,...So....how long before they drop all support for this game what so ever, and how long is DRM going to be around ? Am I going to wake up one day and not beable to play at all....?...

I cant get it to work eather, it says "You payment has not been accepted", even though it accepted my promotion code.

Commie · 03-26-10, 01:30 AM

Shows the type of gamer they expected to snap up SH5 by the choice of offered game

Seriously it's a bit idiotic of them. If anything they should refund everyone's money who paid for SH5. I'm beginning to wonder whether it being released like it has been was just to test the DRM before AC2 came out. They probably thought " hey, these losers will buy the game anyway as no other sub games around and so we can test our DRM servers before the real customers buy up Assassins Creed!".

The thing is even with this 'offer' UBI has been coldly calculating, reasoning that they can give away these games to simulation fans knowing that they most likely wouldn't have bought them anyway so no lost sale! This goes the same for AC2 fans being offered two air combat games and an RTS! What a bunch of F---rs!

Grey_Raven75 · 03-26-10, 02:05 AM

OK, I've tried to download Prince of Persia ten times and it tells me that my payment was not accepted... when I use the code they supplied me... Is this seriously some way for them to trick us into spending more money on their crap? "Ooo, a free game. Crap, the code doesn't work, but now I really want the game. I guess I'll just buy it."

It boggles my mind how stunningly inept this company continues to be.

Has anyone else had this issue and worked through it?

Ragtag · 03-26-10, 02:09 AM

Heh, i didn't even get a code...mail only says "when prompted" where the code should be

Here they trie to compensate for errors with the DRM and they can't do that right either. Makes me wonder if there are amateurs doing a pro's work.
