    I noticed on HIDevolution there is a special offer to get Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege or Assassin's Creed Syndicate when you buy a GeForce 970M GTX or higher graphics card.

    I have never played any of them, which do you recommend me to choose?

    Since both are unreleased games from Ubi$hit, you'd best hold off until reviews come out.

    Ughhh, a tough one. Not because the selection is good, but because it's unclear how these games are really gonna turn out on PC.
    A SCS is already out on consoles and from what I gather it's quote a mediocre game, tho you can have fun with it if you are a series fan or enjoy such games.

    Too bad money isn't an option, I would choose that instead :D.

    I have never plaid any Assassin's Creed before. Would that spoil the game if I didn't play the original?

    I think AC is better option because rainbow six is only multiplayer without a single player campaign

    Story wise you will be lost a bit, but otherwise no.
    What you really should do is head over to Youtube and search for gameplay videos for these two games.

    Rainbow 6. Unless you're not tired of crawling up Failhard's inevitable towers every 2 missions.

    I gotta say, after watching some of the R6 Siege gameplay, I'm itching to get it. It's as close as it can get to my all time favorite coop shooter SWAT4.


    Wonder if I get beta access if I pre-order it now...

    Nuuu pre-ordering!

    You get beta access to The Divison and R6 Siege if you buy anything on Uplay right now, I think.

    Also read my PM. ;)

    Of course I won't pre-order. I just reinstalled Insurgency instead :D.
