Fuck Nvidia. I hope that they won't screw up TPP with their stupid "technologies" and Gameworks.

So those of us who bought a card for Batman are just screwed.
Fuck that.
Fuck that.
Should be every retailer. Nvidia ditches promo games roughly a month after release so it will be their new one going forward.

This game's AO is rather terrible, so this would be great.

Awesome, that means I can ask my nvidia friends for the game 
Yeah I'd love for it to have some HBAO+ goodness if nothing else.
Not even a week after I bought mine, gonna try and convince

I hope this means MGS 5 will be a quality PC port, but the track record for bundled Nvidia games is mixed. The "pick your path" thing had 2 clunkers at launch (AC Unity and FC4), but Witcher 3 was certainly a great bundled game. Then they had Batman AK...yeah.
Ground Zeroes is a great port and makes me think that MGS 5 should have no issues on PC, but with all of the chaos with Kojima and everything right before the end of the dev cycle, I could see the PC port getting the back burner treatment if anything does.
At least this means we will see people selling their codes for cheap on Ebay and such. Still going to be hard to resist grabbing it 2 weeks earlier on PS4. Something about MGS on a PS system feels right too.

After them asking consumers what options in the PC version they want I don't think it's gonna be a disaster http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1070480
Also rofl at the ps system thing.

Holy shit, and I was going to buy a 970 this Monday.
I guess I'll wait a few more days.

Any way for those of us fucked with AK to get MGS5
Don't see how that would work, Konami is giving the keys to Nvidia, WB are the ones who fucked up their own game.

Nvidia gave us the keys though, no?
Shouldn't they be expected to at least give us something that works as intended?
Fuck, I'm just salty. Time to buy a cheap nvidia MGS5 key

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Lol you got a free game, you could have bought a card and received nothing. They do promotions like this a lot.
nVidia got the keys from WB, you got the keys for free with your card, it's on WB that the game doesn't work not on nVidia. I fully understand where you come from but they don't owe you anything, WB should give you a free key for a new game not nV.
Wow, does GZ really run that well? I finally have a 144hz/Gsync monitor and would have been wanting to try out Ground Zeroes just to see what it's like.
It is locked at 60fps(heard you can mod it to 120) but it runs incredibly well.

get it, it's one of the best ports ever, like DMC reboot.
I could get 60fps locked @ 1680x1050 on high on a 460. It was pushing it but still I was expecting to lock it at 30 to avoid erratic framerate.

No this isn't an entitlement thing. I made a transaction as a consumer with the knowledge I was receiving two games, not one game and a broken game.
Yep,one of the best pc ports in recent years,along with Alien Isolation and Max Payne 3 imo.
In a rare-ish case like this, would be nice of nvidia to offer the option to redeem for MGS V, though perhaps they can get around it by saying Batman should be fixed in August and MGS V isnt due till September anyway, so you won't have a broken game before MGS V is out anyway, but as I said, would be nice of them offer the choice anyway.

As someone who hasn't bought a video card in years, does newegg send you the code/voucher? Does it come in the product box? Just wondering how that part of it works.

They e-mail it to you.
Are there any problems with modding the framerate? Like in Wolfenstein? Which would cause the game to run crazy fast.
So I should get like 1000+ FPS on my Titan X!
Playing Isolation at 1440p at 144hz is amazing. I just want to play everything at that framerate.

Mention when you bought your card and see if they'll give it to you, if they decline bring up Arkham Knight and the state it's in, don't be demanding and try to be sympathetic. Helps if you're a long time customer.
People were getting Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight keys even though they bought their cards weeks, even months prior to the promotion.
It'll be interested if it works again, I'll be giving it a shot, especially since AK was the game that made me pull the trigger on buying a 970 in the first place. I played through it on PC but I know the only reasons I was able to without the major stuttering issues was because I had it and my page file running off an SSD before I increased my RAM to 16GB.
About the codes you get from nvidia...I got a code from amazon to use on nvidia's redeem website, so...surely it could be used to redeem for something else right? Seeing it's supposed to change next thursday, I would think it would be possible for nvidia to at least put up an option after redeeming the code and choose Batman or MGSV, but I havent redeemed an nvidia code before so I'm just guessing from looking at the site.
Depends on the store, some ship you a second receipt with the code, others email it, some you have to email and request it. You get a code that you enter on nVidia's site, link your steam and it's activated on your steam then.

If GZ is anything to follow TPP's PC port will be handled by KojiPro not outsourced, it will be good.

I got my 970 a month and a half ago and got the Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight with it. I'd love it if it had Phantom Pain included but as it is I think I got my money's worth out of both games (top 2 games of the year for me), so I'll gladly pay for TPP when it comes out. It's only fair.
I hope this bundle gets officially announced soon. I have an entire brand new PC (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Error1355/saved/YLCcCJ) sitting at home minus the 970. >_>
Looks like the deal is live on Amazon at least, Showed up when I go to some 970 cards.
