There are several areas that are low lit. I cannot see anything in these areas.
I dont see any brightness control in the options console.
I dont want to change my computers overall settings.
HELP

What a great thing a Gamma Setting is

THANKS FOR THE CLUE ! I didn't know what gamma was, so I didn't touch it. I've been fumbling around this game for a while now in the dark

I CAN SEE I CAN SEE!!!

I've been having the same problem.
but no matter how high i dont put the gamma bar its still very dark.
Does anybody know how to change the brightness some other way??

Parts of it seem dark, regardless of what you do. It's an ambiance thing, I suppose. The only ways I know of to change the brightness is to adjust gamma. Turning shadows off can help some, as well. Outside of that, I'm not sure if there is anything else you can do to fix the issue.

The part that always got me, was finding the boat on the Santa Monica Beach. I must have looked for that thing for a half hour, before I realized it was just hidden in the darkness...

Same. I thought the boat was supposed to be on the pier and only I realised that it was in the water when I bumped into it.
