I aksed in the Dying light thread so I thought I'd ask here too.

I'm trying to use GMG voucher code: HYEHZ0-GNKD1A-GFNGMQ for dying light but it doesn't accept it. Is it because I'm in Canada and it's invalid there?

That one doesn't work on my end either. The 20% off code on GMG's website right now does work (drops $12 off the price)

Would it be worth buying Ethan Carter on GMG if you'd probably have to bump down the graphics to play it? Is there more to it than just looking really pretty?

Yeah the 20% code works too but I'd rather use the game-specific code first. I sent a support ticket so I'll see what they say.

Remember when you play as Briggs the first time as a first person shooter then the next time as identical to Sam's gameplay? That ruled.

It's actually optimized extremely well but it also has hardly any graphics settings to tweak.

Ethan Carter is one of those games that uses really cool tech to make the game look much prettier than the system requirements would lead you to believe. It's a bit like RAGE in that regard in that you might be surprised at how well you can run it.

That said, it's a really solid adventure style game with a really well done atmosphere/story.

Huh, weird it says it expires the 30th so I assumed it would work after release but knowing GM sometimes that could be exactly it.

Hmmm, maybe that's because 'Life is Strange' is releasing on the 30th and they just poorly worded the coupon so that it only works for pre-orders but the other pre-order ends on the 30th?

I have a question about Final Fantasy 13 and 13-2. I'm using DS4tool but the button re-mapping doesn't seem to be working with FF13-1. Are the controls hard coded? Nothing i'm doing seems to be working :(. The X O, square, and R2 buttons are all mixed up.

I contacted support and they fixed it. I had to clear my cache and cookies in Firefox and then the code work. Try that if it doesn't work.

I'm not sure which is more insane; the fact that they've included Kick-rear end 2 in this bundle, possibly one of the worst movie tie-in games in recent years, or the fact that Kick-rear end 2 now has trading cards, and foil ones that are apparently worth forty loving dollars at that.

I've only played through the prologue so far but I'm really enjoying Witcher 2. The story/dialogue is so much better than Witcher 1 and the combat is pretty fun.

My only complaint is it's a pretty demanding game performance-wise. I'm getting texture flickering too. Is there anything I can do to really improve the performance outside of the game settings?

You have über sampling off, right? I find it tanks performance for a barely noticeable visual upgrade. I remember the game auto detected my setting and though I should have uber sampling on.

You can always turn down/off anti aliasing too.

What I meant is more like AC:U's pop-in crowds and horrendously small draw distance. Also some people are reporting performance problems and apparently one of the solutions is to turn off v-sync because it's the same poo poo as with Dead Island.
I'm running Unity on max everything in 1920x1080 and I occasionally notice a pop-in or two when dealing with huge crowds, and I haven't noticed any problems with draw distance at all. The LoD could perhaps be a bit better when you are up in a tower, but that's about it.

I've also only had the game hang on me once or twice, and only a couple of quests didn't trigger a switch and I had to reload the game and everything worked again, and that's counting the first version available on Steam.

As i mentioned to Kragger earlier tonight, Unity is probably my second favourite Assassin's Creed game, Black Flag being number 1, and I definitely did not expect that considering the lovely launch they did.
