    One thing I'm slightly sketchy on (possibly down to being distracted during a couple of the later scenes) is what exactly Victors motivation was? He killed both of his brothers and destroyed the Fabricas Branco HQ so what was he hoping to gain from it?
    He would get the family fortune, as well as getting elected in the elections, both for the sympathy votes and his tough stance on crime ever since his family were murdered.

    Marcelo gets burned alive in the stack of tyres

    that shocked me too, fairly gruesome (his hair was gone seconds after it went alight which was a nice, if horrible touch :D) It was done in The Shield at one stage too, called "necklacing" and is usually just one tire around the neck set alight, not a full stack.

    Saw this in GameStop for 34.99 on Friday - Why is Steam nearly 50% extra? This is why digital won't full take off. It's bad enough that it has to contend with our broadband infrastructure but at an increased cost for a virtual item? 'Aving a laugh!

    I'm a big advocate of digital downloads and have purchased more games digitally than boxed this year, but I expect them to be price similarly. I don't mind paying the same for a boxed copy as I do for a digital copy as they do the same things, but charging extra for less doesn't seem to make sense.

    And while I have fast-ish broadband, it's a bit silly to suggest everyone mostly does, as that is not the case, and in a lot of areas, there's only mobile broadband, whose limits aren't exactly geared towards the size of the downloads that some of these games use up (taking for example, my own one - Max Payne would cost me 110 euro to download on my 20gb mobile broadband that I use for out and about as the game is 25gb)

    Saying everyone has "fast broadband" fails to take into account the fact that a hell of a lot of people don't. Step outside any major city and data rates plummet. Even worse, step outside major towns, and you'll enter the glorious world of mobile "broadband", who cap your usage at ~15GB a month.

    The digital market will take over eventually, but it won't happen until the next generation of consoles (Xbox 1440 and PS5) before it's anywhere close to happening.

    Finished it last night. Well done to Rockstar for going a great job. Definitely not trading it in now. Will replay it again and I want to get into the multiplayer. A real action packed campaign.

    The PC version is out tomorrow, where is the cheapest place to buy it?

    Any of the CD key sites selling it cheap? Would prefer a digital download than a disc.

    Cheers,

    Last night i completed Old School Mode on single player.

    Since its the last trophy scrolling down on the difficulty trophies AND its after Hardcore mode on the difficulty list (implying it to be the hardest), i thought i would net the last two trophies.
    :mad:
    No

    To get the 'Payne in the ass' trophy you need to play it throught yet again

    G2Play have it for €25.
    I've bought a few things but had some issues buying from work, since I have an American IP and I also bought with an Irish one.
    Be careful about that and you should be fine.

    Cheers, I've used them before and had no problems, good price too!

    Edit: Showing up as €19.99 for me...even better!

    Is that just a CD Key? How do you get the actual game, other than the obvious?

    You could borrow a friends copy I suppose! I'll be getting it via the "obvious" way.

    Don't see why you couldn't torrent an ISO of the game, seeing as you just bought a license.

    Don't have an issue with that, I was simply curious as any digital downloads I've done for PC have been Steam or GOG.

    The masses ruin it for the few.

    It just finished DLing over night but my hopes of G2Play having licences available have been thwarted! They are out of stock..DANGIT!
