It can... take a few hours.
There's been a couple of times where the items I got on a search depended on what PC I did the search on for a loooong time.
It usually happens during sales, tho.

Yeah, (perfect) parry timing isn't easy to get at first, especially with some of the attacks. If you get to Monsoon however, you better nail it.

You can get away with just regular parries (ie blocks) on Monsoon and not get spanked.

on the other hand if you haven't got perfect parries (ie counters) down by then you're dead.

Great thing about Rising is that every boss is a test of the game mechanics one by one, like how boss fights used to be. Considering the final boss requires you to be competent in all the mechanics, no wonder everyone flips out first time around (took me about 10 tries first time around).

I've recently decided to try Steam on Linux, and I'm pleasently surprised how neat it is. It's on par with the Windows version, and the games catalogue is quite good too.

Now, I really hope that SteamOS will bring even more games to the penguin.

What is up with the Steam Market? TF2 keys are currently selling for around $2.57 while you can buy it from the actual store for $2.49. Totally don't get these market prices and people willing to pay them.

Yep, I'm having similar issues. I believe it's just a matter of time before they fix it.

Also, thanks for the giveaway Hawkie, kind as always. ;)

In need of direction for my next game. I'm thinking of playing Blood Dragon for some big action.

But I've been putting off Alpha Protocol forever.

Alpha Protocol is great but can be a bit buggy and frustrating at times. Especially if you end up with a build that isn't much help as you progress.

True. Worst thing is, apparently Hard difficulty cuts down the framewindow by half. All that practice for nothing ;_;

I didn't think the final boss was that hard tbh. I had way more trouble with Sam or the fucking GRAD and his litte EXPLODING FUELTANK friends.

I've heard to go with pistols and hand-to-hand to keep it playable. I wanted to try for stealth as much as possible, I think.

Right quick Steam Guard question. Is there any way to deauthorise single computers/browsers now or is it still the old method of every one but the one you perform the action on?

Cheers in advance.

I first played it on hard (and got my arse handed to me in the process) but found the window to parry-block really generous but to perfect parry it has to be the last second. Thankfully those Infinite Climax Bayonetta skills came in handy.

That GRAD fight is a right shit due to the enclosed space and the massive amount of objects that spaz the camera out.

Just finished Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The feels.

That's going on my GOTY list. Dear god, getting it for less than €2 should be a crime.

last time I had this exact same problem it took like 6-8 hours.

it was during the steam sale so I figured the site was getting pretty hammered or something

Thanks for answering. Guess I'll wait then, no rush!
