AMD never settle question

I got 3 free games coming, but to my dismay you can't redeem 2 and wait on the other. There are 2 games I absolutely want, and a few I want. But I was thinking I could claim 2 and hold off on the 3rd to see what else they'll add. Any word floating around about games that will be added?

You should never settle for less than what you want.

It expires 12/31 of this year, if I wait for GTA V to be on it I'll settle for nothing. I can't think of any other big titles coming out between now and December 31st. Maybe I'll flip a coin to pick the 3rd game.

Safe to say GTA V won't be on it. I don't think Rockstar has ever done promos with GPU manufacturers before.

If you don't mind me asking, what games are you getting? Looking at the Gold tier (had to look it up because I can't remember all of them), there's some pretty legit games on there. Saints Row IV, Tomb Raider, and Sleeping Dogs would easily be my top picks. (I would say get Deus Ex, but that one's old and cheap enough that you're better off just buying it on sale).

Far Cry 3 I know is popular (it's an OK open-world FPS, not a huge fan of it though). Hitman is good too.

I guess it doesn't hurt wait if you want. Just make sure you don't wait too long and your coupon expires. :) But I don't know what else AMD has in the works in terms of free games, and it's already October, so the end of the year is coming up quickly. Just saying there's a good chance they're probably not adding anything.

Saints Row & Tomb Raider are 2 I'm definitely getting, there's not any games they could add that I'd pick over those. I'm kind of torn between Bioshock Infinite, FC3 & DMC. Even Hitman's on my radar. I already have Sleeping Dogs.

Hell I bought a bunch of games during Steams Summer sale, perhaps I should go peek at my list before I pick a 3rd. I know I didn't get FC3 or DMC, but I might have bought Hitman and a few of the others.

I don't know if you care about this, but when it comes to what online system it redeems on, FarCry 3 will be on uPlay and Crysis 3 will be on Origin.

Assassin's Creed 4 and Watch Dogs might. Ubisoft seems to like the GPU promo's

I've been holding onto my ticket for a while for the very same reason. Only 2 games that I really want on the list (I own the others I would otherwise want). I'm sure they'll add at least 1 more, though I get the feeling it'll be something like BF4 which I have no interest in.

Anyone want to hazard a guess about whether they end up dropping games from the list before 12/31? I'm still waiting to see if they add anything interesting before redeeming my codes, but there are a couple of games I'd be sad if they dropped.

I thought those games were being touted by NVIDIA?

That's correct. Watch Dogs and AC4 will be Nvidia promos. (Ubisoft gets sponsors from both companies, it tends to be on a per-game basis I guess.)

Totally forgot about Battlefield 4 though. That will be an AMD promo I believe.

If you will be sad they dropped them, then just pick those up!

To OP -

Can you sell the code you get? There is always that route. Heck, I might be interested! Sleeping Dogs looked interesting in the videos I've watched and I know I will eventually get BioShock Infinite.

DOH I tried to redeem my code today after deciding on a 3rd game, for 4 hours off and on I've been trying. When I get to the part where you enter the code, when I submit I get an error saying my session has time out and to try again.

Tried on Chrome & IE, same issue. I wonder if there's something wrong with my system, BOOO! No biggie I guess as I had to RMA my new video card back to Newegg and onboard won't play any of them probably lol.

Tweak155, yeah you can sell the code, but I want the games and the going price for these on Ebay isn't really enough to make me wanna sell it.

hummm SHIT I've spent the last week mulling over the 3rd game to pick, only to find out today the 2 of the 3 games I was pondering over are only in the Never Settle Forever deal. I have the Radeon Rewards, which doesn't contain either lol. I was un-aware there were 2 different deals going on.

I love how the main page shows all the games but when you click on redeem my coupon it goes switches to the one with less games. Maybe there's not 2 deals and they just removed the games? I dunno, but way to confused the shit out of people AMD.

Eh. I stopped waiting and just got the games. AMD is probably done with their promo since their new cards don't have the promo with it.

GTA V won't be available till mid 2014, I was just checking on it a couple of days ago. So I don't think it will be in the NSF program.

I played FC3 and Hitman Absolution. Like them both very much, but if I had to choose one, it will have to be FC3. I think it was one of the best games of the year (2012), got lots of positive reviews. I played all three difficulty modes.

I nabbed FC3, I just installed Uplay and tried to install it but it's saying the code AMD gave me's invalid. Dunno who to blame here AMD or Ubisoft. I have a feeling neither will email me back anytime soon

BOOOO!
