But I know that sometimes I would be stuck inches away from the enemy and I keep firing at them and am just a little off. If I would have been able to shoot them though, I would have been brought back. Others, it would be way off and I am not even close to an enemy. I think it depends on the position you are in when you take that last blow.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

I do too. But I didn't interpret it as a glitch or poor mechanics. I interpreted as me sucking.

I called MS and demanded a refund. They did a "return" of my electronic purchase. I won't be using windows 8 again. It was worse than windows ME. On topic, good price for max Payne 3. I would buy it if I didn't have a backlog but I'll wait for $10 since I have other games to play. It should be dirt cheap this holiday with the new consoles coming out. In fact, everything should be.

A fresh install is always the better way to go man unless you want to preserve your old files etc. I initially choose the upgrade option, and it was Ok at first. I then created the recovery drive, and did a fresh install. Simply flawless. The only issue I ran into was that my Bluetooth Driver doesn't work in W8. I looked into the issue and I was supposed to uninstall the driver while I had W7 on there...Not a big deal since I don't have any Bluetooth enabled devices that I want to sync to my laptop. I tried W8 on another HP Ultrabook that I was going to give to my mother and sister as a birthday present. It performed decently, but it was somewhat slow because it didn't have an SSD in it so I returned it the next day. MS finally gave me the refund for that copy a few days ago or so.

Will Max Payne 3 get GoTY or Complete Edition soon?

I couldn't get into MP3 either. My biggest issue was that it played way too much like a Rockstar game. To me it felt like a Max Payne GTAIV mod. Running around while shooting was never a strong point of GTA games yet that's this whole game. Everything just felt "off" to me.

Well, this is my third time buying MP3 lol...first time on Xbox and never got past first level, second for super cheap when I switched to PS3, but a 100% TIV for it got the better of me, and now this last time for $12.99 used (my store just so happened to sell their last new copy before I got there pssht..) after RZ cert.

Definitely going to beat it through this time. I don't even think I'm that far in ("football" stadium I believe).

Anyways, from what I've played, I'm loving the game. Very reminiscent of Man on Fire, which just so happens to be in my top 5 movies, so yea, maybe I'm biased haha.

That's a better deal than this, since it has the SE extras.

It has HD 4,000 graphics which are ok. You really want a laptop with a dedicated GPU. The only problem with them is that they tend to get pricey.

Thank you, man.These two laptops are within my budget around $550. Which one should I go for it? Dotd one or the lenovo G580? If you were me, which one will you choose?

you might want to check your local bestbuy store clearance from the official bestbuy website, if you know how to navigate through their website. i have seen some laptop with similar specs , or better for around $400-500. the only issue with intel hd graphics is don't count on it to run graphics intense pc games smoothly. but light work like surfing the web, typing, and watching videos should be fine

Thank you, man. Maybe I decide to pass both of them....but I am on the fence..

if you can wait, i would wait, because laptop price will only go down. also when it comes to electronics like laptop, tv. I would advise buying it from a b&m store like bestbuy instead of lenovo.com, in case anything were to happen with the laptop. It will make returns much easier, especially with bestbuys 30 day exchange/ return policy

I never played NYM but my first playthrough was on hard, and Hardcore/Oldschool were super tough also. My girl always asks why i do the hardest difficulty first, especially during those parts when you just die over n over. Whoever played this probly agrees the hardest part was when you are on that boat and going into panama canal and you have to run around the outside of boat and then through middle and up stairs. that took me like 20 times on hardcore, lol, i couldn't imagine on nym hardcore. I'm in top 5% for Hardcore, but NYM Hardcore is 1%.

Yeah I died at the part where you run alongside the deck of the boat when the enemies roll up in their jeeps. I lost count how many times I died there. It can get so frustrating if you're not a patient gamer but when you finally get past that part of the stage it feels like it was worth the constant playthroughs

I see. Thank you for your remind. But some lenovo laptops in lenovo.com are in good prices sometimes..

honestly, lenovo products are not exactly known for their quality, so you are not missing much, if you are not in a rush for a laptop

I see. Which brand of laptop is the best? Sony and Dell seems expensive to my budget..Any ideas? Thank.

It was on sale for 19.99 last week at target (360 only) and I found one of those bundles. It was the only one left.

I have 2 of those GS CE's unopened one for each system.

Yes, i HAVE A PROBLEM! I also received a 360 vers in trade on vgfive so I guess I'm playing it soon.

Lenovo laptops are good.
Really, every manufacturer has their good ones and their stinkers. Lenovo tends to be better overall than most others out there. I think the only one who's almost completely safe is Asus and that's in large part due to them not doing many laptops. Go by reviews more than anything else when laptop picking. HP for example gets a lot of flak but a sizable chunk of their recent ones have been great... on the AMD side. Intel varies more due to there being that many more machines. It's easy to see people complain as a result, but it's really just a case of some products are better built than others and it's on a case by case basis, not a company one.

I've got a Samsung QX410 series laptop I found at best buy a year ago on close out and love the thing. It even has a dedicated Nvidia GPU.
