Fun but with issues

Verified Purchase:Yes
The game is fun. It follows along a similar formula as Far Cry and Metal Gear in that you have main missions and a lot of side missions. The graphics are really good. Some games get way overboard with crafting and weapons options. Sniper has good solid crafting that makes sense. The weapons interface makes comparing weapons easy and straight forward.
However, this game has issues. Things I I don't like is you do not have the ability to do a quick save. This game is VERY SLOW to load. I have a good fast gaming computer and it loads so slow. I think it is Steam that is the issue.
This game also has more minor and some major glitches than the last 10 games I have played put together. There are so many spots where you get stuck and either have to go back to the last auto save or quit. I was walking through a pothole int he road and got stuck. I was climbing down a ladder that I had to go up for the mission and it would not let me get off. etc etc. My character has gotten stuck a number of times.
But the game is fun. I really like the stealth action shooter games.

Exciting but a little repetitive

The game was interesting enough. The graphics for the cut scenes were spectacular. This was the developers attempt at open world and for the most part it was pretty good. Lots of re-spawn locations which I found tiresome after awhile. Regarding the main store missions there were essentially 4 types of boss fights. Once you figured out the pattern necessary to defeat them they became routine. The main missions got away from the open world concept.
Over all the game is worth playing and can provide hours of game time. It just starts to get repetitive after about 12 hours.

Excellent for tracking but quirky on syncing

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased Charge HR when it was on clearance because my employer has several heath related benefits and we can earn points by tracking our activity. It has been great for self motivating myself to get at least 10,000 steps a day and be more conscious about how I move.
However, it has been a bit quirky about syncing. At first I synced it to my phone and it worked great for a few days. Then my phone (Galaxy S6) would not find it anymore. I verified it was not my phone at issue. Long store short I ended up syncing it to my work computer. However, I have to take it off and place it right next to the Blue Tooth dongle that came with it.
On another note. Setting it up and with FitBit was easy and streamlined. The app on my phone is slick and easy to use.

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. On one hand it was a great purchase on the other not so. The Pro: It has great sound that can reach high volume and still sound good as well as really strong bass for its size. The Con: It has great sound that can reach high volume and still sound good as well as really strong bass for its size.
Good battery life and good range on the Blue Tooth

Low Cost impressive results

My daughter wanted the ability to watch TV in her room. So rather than paying $12 a month for a cable box and $300 for a decent TV I purchased a Roku Stick plus this monitor (has HDMI and audio outputs), and a decent set of computer speakers. Now she has HD TV in her room for only $50 + $110 + $25 = $185. I was leary as I had no experience with this brand but I am very please with the colors and resolutin.

Great Items, however could use minor improvments

I wanted to get the ROKU stick so i would not have to hook up my computer via HDMI to stream Amazon, Netflix and shows I failed to record on my TIVO. Hooked it up via Ethernet Cable to a gigabyte port on my router and I am simply amazed at how fast the Roku is. However, my TIVO failed on me and I am hesitant to pay for a new life time service. I hooked up a cable box, but the ROKU has become our main source of show watching. I even purchased a second one and a big computer monitor for my daughters bedroom. She now has HD video in her room. Just had to add on Computer Speakers. Cost a LOT less than a new TV or SmartTV.
My only two complaints and ROKU could fix this via upgrade.
1. I wish it had the capability of bookmarking shows you want to watch so you don't have to go looking for them all the time.
2. In a manner of speaking you can bookmark shows with the apps that carry it. however, it only seems to book mark those that cost a monthly subscription.

This dehumidifier really draws the water out of the air. I had no idea my prior one (not Frigidare) was so inefficient. You may be better off using the hose attachment it you can.

I am trying to replace my charger for my fitbit charge, not fitbit charge HR. Ordered one on Amazon but it is labeled Charge HR What is the difference? and which one should fit my fitbit?
You will need one specifically for a Fit Bit Charge. I originally picked up the HR model. But my daughter told me it would not work. So I brought it back to Best Buy and they swapped them for me.

Grand theft Auto Episodes from Liberty city
I just bought a Gateway NV59C Notebook and it has an Intel I3-330M processor and Intel HD graphics card. so i was just wonderign if GTA Episodes from liberty city would work on it???
Great little notebook you got there.
However, it was designed for social media, web, email and streaming video.
Your going to have a very hard time playing GTA on your system. It may load up but you will have to reduce all the graphics to the bare minimum and even then it may jerk a lot.

I would like to purchase games and software for my HP Net Book. Do Best Buy carry HP Net Book products?
Great little computer. However, the bad news is you pretty much restricted by the processor, low RAM and the on board graphics. Netbooks simply were not built to play games.

civilization4 play on widows 7
You should not have a problem. At the time it came out it was built for XP. I have not had a problem in stalling XP games on 7.
That being said, Civilization is one of the greatest Computer Game franchises ever.
Civ IV was good. Civ V blows it out of the water.

Do you sell games for apple computers?
It is not so much of retailers carrying a lot of Apple Games as lack of developers who make them. The market is small for Apple games. That being said, EA makes a few. Your actual best bet for Apple game is the iTunes Store

Computer golf game
I would like a computer golf game
Oh goodness a buddy of mine and I would sit around for hours on rainy days when we could not be out golfing playing it on my computer. Back in those days I considered Links Golf to be one of the best. We also had a gold game for Nintendo Wii that you had to do the swing yourself.
I have not played it but I seen it in a demo. "The Golf Club" From HB Studios looks to be a VERY good simulator

Do you need special games for Vista?
I assume you mean for a computer loaded with Windows Vista?
Windows Vista was an operating system that went out of support in 2009.
That being said, there are still games that will run on Vista. However, the number is decreasing. When you look at a game it should have minimum system requirements on it. Below is an example.
CPU: Core i3-550 / Phenom II X4 955
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 5770 1 GB
Free Disk Space: 20 GB
If you do a Google Search for "Vista Compatible Games" there are a couple of good hits for games. And some of these games were world class at the time and still a lot of fun

do you have any hidden object pc games? to down load?
Personally I love hidden objects. I got hooked when Waldo first came out.
You will probably not find a lot of hidden object games available at many retailers as there seems to be a lot of free programs.
At one time Best Buy did carry Hidden Object Adventure, but it was on the shelf. Only $10 to $15 and I picked it up during Christmas shopping season.
