I really like my Gold Wireless headset too, I order a set from Amazon for 70 dollars about two weeks back and they've been great. I've always been a guy who never cared for using headsets or anything but wearing these I've picked up sounds in games that I feel like I wouldn't have noticed with the usual surround system I have. Awesome buy.

If you're having a hard time I would recommend grinding a few levels out to make it a bit easier. I struggled with that one too back when the game first came out but I spent a hour or so grinding levels and easily passed it no problem. Secondly, Captain Ginyu is a bit of a heavy hitter that mission so maybe try hanging around Krillin and Gohan and beat the mobs they're targeting and make short work out of any stragglers. Beat Guildo up quickly and finish off any remaining mobs and you should be fine.

@MaddenBowler10: I was originally holding off on purchasing GTA V on PC until a few weeks went by to see how it fares but it's legitimately very optimized. My PC has the same CPU as yours as well, stock with it's original CPU fan too (so not even overclocked):
AMD FX 6300 Black Ed.
Sapphire R9 270x 4GB DDR5
1TB HDD
16GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 Home Pre, 64-bit.

The game runs exceptionally well on my PC considering it's a "budget" build as well. AMD released a driver update too with catalyst profiles for GTAV, running the benchmark on first boot of GTAV and the FPS radar was between 48-60 frames. My game play, both on single player & online was tremendously smooth too. Rockstar did well in my opinion with optimizing this game to run on all kinds of modern, to semi-modern hardware. Mind you I'm playing on 1080p with most settings on High and a few on Ultra and I'm only using 2.7GBs out of the entire 4GBs of VRAM on my Graphics card.

You're more than likely to get more longevity from Grand Theft Auto V for PC (considering if it's extremely optimized for everyone to play and enjoy) over Mortal Kombat X. With fighting games for PC, a huge issue is dealing with any netcode issues (MK9 and Injustice had this issues apparently, I wouldn't know for sure as I only played MK9 on PS3). If you've already played GTAV however, pick up X if that's really what you're interested in. I personally have X preordered for PS4 while GTAV is on the back burner until a few weeks roll out to make sure players are enjoying it and it's not glitchy or anything.

It's really all a matter of preference, mature games with deep story lines shouldn't be so open and free initially. When they are, it somewhat takes away from the tone of the game when you're running off doing miscellaneous things before the game's end. Open world sandbox games are fun because of how flexible they are. The story line is there for those who are interested in it, but there's also the freedom to do whatever you want within the game's limitations. It depends on what the developer is meaning to go with the game though, do they want to have an engaging story? Make a game that's more linear to keep players drawn into the story line. Or, are they interested in making a game that has more freedom to do what you want. Make a game that has an open world to explore how you please. Trying to do a mixture of both really doesn't bide well in my opinion, it's just too easy to go off the set path in mixed open world, story-driven games that'll just cause anyone to absolutely forget what they were doing when they decide to come back into the plot. FC3, Fallout, Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 (not as extreme as the latter 3) had these issues for me.

Are you sure that you completed "Flight school" that's by the Los Santos Airport or did you go to Trevor's landing strip and complete the flying time challenges? Those are two completely different things, flight school adds to the progression % of Grand Theft Auto V while the Flying Time Trials are optional side missions.

I'm sure you already made your decision but here's an answer. Marked spoiler for those who may have not played through Grand Theft Auto IV's storyline as of yet.... Secondly, for major game decisions, feel free to make double saves before doing them so you can have the opportunity to branch out and enjoy all aspects of the GTAIV storyline.

Killing DeWayne is will get you money, and well that's about it. Killing Playboy X will get you his apartment, which in it has Claude's GTA 3 outfit in the wardrobe and ultimately DeWayne will become a person you can hang out with. After his likiness for you goes up enough, you'll be able to phone him to send gang members to assist you during freeroam antics.

I have to say that I really enjoyed Grand Theft Auto IV back when it first released. I put way more hours into that game than I did with Grand Theft Auto V (initially, at least). The mechanics in V are a lot more refined and its an enjoyable game, most definitely. But, the grittiness of Liberty City has always been interesting to me. The story line for IV was very engaging, it had better character development for Niko than Michael, Franklin and Trevor. Which was a huge deal for someone like me because for GTAs I like to enjoy the story line first then cruise around & do mayhem. GTAIV had those "realistic" mechanics all fans had to adjust to, the awkward driving mechanics were rough at first but everyone digressed with time, and the gun play (playing with auto aim off on console) made it seem more stiff, so therefore more difficult in a sense.

All in all, I'm just a guy who always enjoys the first out of a series, or in GTAs case "generations". I hope a DLC comes out for V that brings back Las Venturas and San Ferrio, as SF was my favorite place to be in San Andreas, but that's just nostalgia speaking.

I'm in the same boat as a few of you, never have playing Smash 4's predecessors. I've always watched videos or streams of tournaments on Twitch & YouTube but that's about it. I've only had the game for about a week now and it's really a handful, it's an entirely different fighter for me and I like it. There's a lot of hidden mechanics and quirks to becoming a better fighter. I wish that Online "For Glory" had matchmaking for beginners, intermediates, and professional type of players. Neverminding that, I think it's awesome that there's so much variety in the game though.

Really been enjoying Smash Brothers a lot over the past few days, between my girlfriend & I, it's been great fun. My console came bundled with NintendoLand & Mario 3D World but I have yet to give those a whirl, expecting those to be interesting as well. It's great that Nintendo has a handful of local/couch multiplayer games for the Wii U. Adds a good amount of entertainment for company or easy-going casual players.
