Well? Where the fuck is it?
will it crash the store like silksong?
>>721641192It's just not the same caliber of hype. Especially since it was in Early Access. Also it's gonna be overshadowed by Silent Hill (which still has the banner).
>>721641192They released the game half finished in Early Access and everyone gobbled that shit up. What a fucking stupid practice. I understand doing it with Hades 1 because muh indie studio with no funding, but they got filthy rich and had no excuse for pulling this on Hades 2 too.As result this game will never have hype. They split the playerbase. When it released in Early Access it only got ~50% of the fans because not everyone wants to eat shit. Now that it is releasing the people that played in Early Access won't be around.

>30$Not paying this much for an indie game. FUCK YOU
>>721644035why does she look like sarah silverman?
>>721642096If it wasnt for early access they would have still had that retarded resource collection system they had in early access that pissed players off. It does hurt the hype of the game but they at least used early access as a beta test and actually used player feedback which is the proper way to do early access
>>721644190does it being self published diminish the value?
>>721644035
>>721644190Team Cherry RUINED indie gaming forever!
looks like it's up now. wonder how long until the pirated version is up.
>>721643907Meh. So barely anthing new for the actual gameplay portion.
5 minutes in I can tell this is gonna be gud

>>721644461oh nvm it's already up lol

>>721645741>he boughtedthanks for the business, pal
>>721644035artemis is such a fucking cutie in both gameslike how the fuck is she hotter than aphrodite, the literal god of love?
Genuine question: why make it EA? they already have years of experience at this point
>no saleare you fucking shitting me?
>>721647210Working girls are always better than sluts
>>721647278so they wouldn't have a payday 3 situation on their hands
>>721647210because its a subversive game
>>721647278Usually so they can get community feedback on additions and balance changesPlus extra cashflow as they develop never hurt, even if they made plenty of bank off Hades 1
So what does it do better/worse than the first game? I got bored of that one pretty quickly, cause I didn’t care about the story and the runs felt very similar, aside from your starting weapon and whatever color you wanted your particle effect to be, unless you got a daedalus perk, iirc
what's new exactly with this update?
>>721641192Silksong only did it because no pre-orders and everyone boughted instantly
>>721641041you guys know the game was basically done for months right? is it just zoomers that dont know early access exist? Chronos kills Zeus and you save Zagreus the end
I'm still in Silksong act 2. I can't keep up with games.
>>721642096>I understand doing it with Hades 1 because muh indie studio with no fundingThey do it because they actually listen to community feedback to improve the final product, and it shows.Without the feedback, it likely wouldn't be the highest-rated game this year. So no, you don't understand.
>>721647660>silksong>hadesJust play borderlands 4 bro
I only escape from hell like 2 or 3 times in the first one. How much of the story did I miss?
>>721646384Hey sperganon, you're supposed to say "wow, good job anon!"
>>721647832most of it
>>721647832Most
>You will never take a bath with Melinoë and soap up her cheeks
>>721647683>highest-rated gamebruh
>>721647278its very good for roguelikes to be on EA for a year or so that the devs can balance things out for the release be as smooth as possible
>>721647902>>721647865I know his mom and dad get back together and theres a party with gods. Is there anything from hades 1 that hints at hades 2? Zag isnt REALLY dead is he??
>>721641041>No launch discount>No discount for owning the first oneNo buy today then.
my boy!
>>721648097Thats the gist of the main plot - the other stuff is mostly Zagreus helping side charactersPretty sure the premise of 2 is that you're trying to save Zag from a time prison or something
>>721642729>>721645005
>Artemis' body even hotter>face even worseI am confused
>>721642729>>721645005>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T PUT ANYONE WHO ISN'T WHITE INTO THIS GAME
>>721642096Yeah but Baldurs Gate 3 did EA as well. Granted, they shut off EA and worked on it more for a year or two, but Hades 1 had the same deal like you said and it not only had hype, it was 2020 indie GOTY
>>721648407I stopped playing to fap once I saw her picture
>>721648407I think shes still a qt
>>721648425We wuz aryans and cowshit saar
>>721648697Black guys beat me up when I was in middle school, so now I'm scared of them. Whenever I see them in games it reminds me that I'm never going to be strong.
She's got my gun. No fair.
>>721648838So that's why you worship them now?
WHERE IS MY 10% DISCOUNT
>>721642729Okay, since I've seen this pic twice now, I gotta say the last time this was posted two people got mad that Hephaestus has a wheelchair. >The Famous Crippled God>The God of Mechanics / ForgeAnd don't give me shit like:>But he has a mechanical leg-He's the crippled god, if he could uncripple himself, then that defeats the purpose and a cane wouldn't have the same instantly recognizable aesthetic. Also you wanna complain about raceswaps? Sure, fine! But some of these gods like Chaos (bottom middle) don't even have a human skin hue. In those specific cases (not the obvious raceswaps), that's just artistic liberty.
>>721646467Everyone here who treats single player games as a social thing for some reason.
>>721648930Yes. Blacks worshipped whites during slavery when they got beaten. Why wouldnt i worship a black guy who beat me? Same shit
I assume I need to kill the water area boss to get silver? I'm really not a fan of the staff.
>>721649029Nobody who bitches about that shit actually reads Greek myth. They just wanna be racist online.
>>721649029NTA but Chaos is upper left, you're talking about Chronos
>>721642096I just don't get the hate about EA. Just fucking wait if you want to wait, some people want to get in early, who the fuck caresthat said, I won't even be pirating this piece of shit tranny game and if there was any justice in this world anyone who purchased it would be executed.
>>721649306>and then nigger athena was cut out of zeus's head>everyone clapped
>>721649284Iirc you can get silver in the first biome. I don't think it even appears anywhere else other than as a gift from Narcissus.
>>721644402damn, femcels be crazy
>>721642729Almost all of them look african.
Im going AWOL from 4chan for a while until im through most of this gameI hope you all keep Artemisposting in my place
>>721648097>Is there anything from hades 1 that hints at hades 2?No, Melinoe's existence isn't considered or even hinted at in the first game. There's no indication a sequel was ever planned or considered.
>>721649645do us a favor and stay gone. no one who plays this aids-ridden piece of shit game belongs here
>>721649029A wheelchair is really boring though.Traditionally he had solutions like>riding a mule>a chariot>some weird bronze tripods>being carried by his harem of robot maidsor at least while he's chilling he's sitting on an anvil.All of these are Cool. A basic-bitch wheelchair is not. You could even call it... lame.
>>721649516Stay mad
>>721649029>that's just artistic liberty.People don't even complain about the real issue: Aphrodite. She's the goddess of love in both games. Except that should be Eros, Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty which is a completely different thing. It's also not like ancient Greeks had a bible equivalent as a central authority for canon, many people worshiped the gods without even caring about or believing the myths. Hell, Plato even wanted people to discard the myths since they painted the gods in a bad light and he thought they were just made up by lying poets.
>>721649794Buy an ad :D
>>721649645>he cares about spoilers>in fucking hades 2I actually struggle imagining how some people can be such massive faggots
>>721649770Uh oh /v/itterfag having a melty
No recompense for Dusa, no buy.
It's so sad that culture war has ruined games this badly, they just have to force it into every fucking game. So fucking tired of it, so incredibly fucking tired.
>>721641041No Dusa, no buy.
>>721649863I like experiencing shit myself - even when it isnt story heavy or if the ending is mostly obviousSorry xister
>>721648097>Is there anything from hades 1 that hints at hades 2?Only mythology, since we know Persephone had another kid
>>721649821Aphrodite is nearly always referred to in contemporary times as the goddess of love, while Eros is just depicted as a flying baby with a bow and heart shaped arrows.
>>721650068The ending really isn't obvious this time around, we have no idea how they're gonna justify the roguelike element after the story is done because the same "testing underworld security" excuse from the first game won't work here.
I really enjoyed t he first game, so hopefully this sequel delivers. Even with all the hideous transexual characters and all the forced homo shit, it was quite fun.Unlike Silksong which is just annoying and not fun.
There are no new levels or anything?
>>721645005>NOOOOO THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BRONZE SKINTONE, SHE'S NOT A NIGGER>HAS OBVIOUS NIGGER FEATURESGood thing I don't buy games made in Commiefornia.
>>721645005Feels like my soul is being sucked out of my asshole when I see shit like this.
Does Hades 2 still metaprogression shit that make your first few runs artificially weak?
>>721651126>shit that make your first few runs artificially weak?But enough about [Every roguelite released during the last 5 years]
>>721642096Early access would've prevented some of the baffling decisions in silksong
>>721651318you could just have said yes instead of being a pissy baby
>>721642729>>721645005I just came to this thread to see how bad the damage was. Not getting a cent from me oh well. Soon enough the chinks will learn to make good games and the celebration of the hideous and deformed will come to an end.
>gameplay worse than the first game>visuals worse than the first gamerefunded
>>721645005AW HELL NAW! - Shawtheenya, Goddess of EBT>>721649212Maybe you should head for one of these jewish BBC threads on /b/ then
>>721651318Dont act like Eris isn't the most egregious form of this in the genre. She literally shows up if you're doing too good too early to sabotage you.
>>721651318So I assume yes, since you’re upset and avoiding the question?
Where did the shills go?They were in full force when it released in early access.
>>721651741>gameplay worse than the first gamejust by not being "spam dash with i-frames while Athena's boon also makes it reflect every projectile: the game" makes it infinitely better
>>721652327You get a literal forcefield to guard you.I'm not one to cry about casuals, but this is too forgiving.
>Foes & Dangers>· Typhon: reduced tentacle damage in final phase; increased duration before Eggs hatch; reduced life and damage of some summoned foes; other minor adjustmentsif you played after the official release, you didn't beat the game
>>721642729>niggers and pinoys dressed as clownsBad or wrong isn't even the right way to describe it. There should be a new, stronger word for what the hell this travesty is.
>>721648425Maybe actually put black people in instead of turning white characters from the last game black
so mote it be
since it's only an update the full game is already cracked
>>721653027>>721653151I will now buy your game
Awooga.
>>721653279>cracked
>go into thread about new game>expect at least a few comments about or vids of gameplay >it's exclusively complaints about skin color>the skin colors of fictional mythological gods that can appear as animals or clouds or whatever the fuck>not a single person in the thread has or is playing the gameWhat the fuck? Is this not a videogames board?
>>721653396>The supposed most beautiful dude in the worldMeh even Thanatos looks better
>>721653279it has no drm, I downloaded the csf and didn't even use goldberg
>>721653489>Is this not a videogames board?No, what gave you that idea?
>>721645005>Athena is an African QWEENWe wuz

>>721653396Him and Apollo are supposed to be handsome, meanwhile Odysseus is right there effortlessly looking better. They fucked up.
Here's your main character
>>721653489>expecting video game discussion to happen in nu-/vpol/
>>721652041Probly playing it lmao
>>721653985supremely breedable. I will now play your game
why did they turn all of the characters homo?
>>721654646anon they're greeks. they were always homo.
>>721653985Can't stand her red eye, looks like an infection
>>721653489How new?
>>721653985I will now play your game.
>>721654646Just appealing to their audience>>721653489You are the ones making every game into race shit by making Greek gods into black tranniesWhat do you expect? It's like shitting in the middle of a room and complaining when I'm people talk about it like 'hey why did you shit in the floor!'
>literally only artemis managed to escape being turned into an ugly negressartemis chads stay winning since hades 1 lmao
>progressing too fastHoly shit, what an awful mechanic. I’m sick of indie devs artificially padding out their games
>>721653985Whoa, Sans Undertale in MY virtriolic misandrist and racist tumblr slop!?
>>721655613Punishing the player for being good is retarded.
>>721653396The portrait does not fit the voice they gave him
if i never finished the first game will i enjoy this one?
>>721655613pretty sure this is because if you are too good in Hades 1 it fucks up a lot of progression
>>721655468What's wrong with black trans people?
Which attack blessing for these stupid things? They kinda suck.
any mods that fix the ugly nigger faces?
>>721655821You can lock yourself out of a ton of dialogue and unique interactions IIRC
>>721655775You can't unga your bungas quite as hard, but I like it plenty.
>>721655926>implying there's any good artists among the racist retards who'd want this fixed
>>721655926Modify the roof of your mouth with a 12 Guage
>>721655906You use Moros aspect and just spam omega special while attacking point blank to kill everything, or use Supay and the game plays itself. Unless they nerfed it in the final release.
>>721656078ah, I don't have aspects yet. I'm about to unlock the axe. 3 weapons in, I have to say I much preferred Zag's arsenal. hopefully that will change.
>>721655926are there any loras trained on their art style? do it yourself
>>721655821Maybe they should design their stupid game better instead
so is this just more hades? making sequels for rogueslop feels kinda pointless
>>721653027Best girl by far
It’s not fair…
>>721653985I wish, it'd be worth buying if so.
>>721642729God I want to hate fuck Eris.
>>721656330It's designed for people who put pronouns in their Twitter bio. Not people who can type without looking at the keyboard.
>>721656330And how would they do that, faglord?>make game too hard>people complain>make progression take longer >people complain>add a mechanic that prevents players from going too fast, but can still be mitigated by gitting gud>one retarded niggerfaggot who probably pirated the game complainsI wonder what's the best option...
>>721645005
>>721655613>The reward for playing well is increased difficultyI don't see the problem. Kill the Rich.
>>721656980The best option is removing the artificial difficulty to try to pad the runtime, retard. If they have to make it harder, then do that. The shitters weren’t going to get far anyway and are fine replaying this repetitive shit indefinitely
>>721644035Still a downgrade compared to the Hades 1 style, but still good to have her back and (broadly) unchanged.>>721647210True to the mythology - if I was in Paris's place, that apple would've gone to Artemis in a heartbeat, even if it meant an immediate damning to Tartarus.
>>721657120*playing well too early. They remove the nerf once your runtime has been padded beyond the refund window
>>721657217>trying to seduce the god of virginsrisky strategy cotton lets see how it plays out
why is everyone so repulsive compared to the first game
so, worth?
sex with artemis ASAP
>>721657307First game was for faggots like yourself, this game is for straights
>>721641192Nah. Silksong has been MIA for many years until it suddenly came back to life seemingly out of nowhere. Hades 2 has high expectations for it, but everybody who was desperate for it has been playing early access for a while.
>>721645005Terrible, terrible downgrade>>721644035Artemis was top tier in Hades 1 and is even better in Hades 2 somehow, 10/10
The Fields of Mourning fucking SUCK. Why did they make a big area?
>>721657584is that why they turned aphrodite into a man, you cock-loving retard?
>>721642729These all look like they're designed to appeal exclusively to repulsive brainwashed subhumans who live their lives in accordance with corporate-endorsed social agendas.What a shame the game beneath this revolting trash is probably good. Doubt it's better than 1 though.
Never played Hades 1 because all the gameplay I saw was just dashing through stunlocked enemies. Is this one different?
>>721653138>/v/ proves it doesn't play the games it complains about yet again
>>721657827I'm sure there will be a mod that fixes the blackwashing but unfortunately it's certainly going to be fried AI slop.
Got close to beating Cerberus within 2 hours but Eris keeps fucking me up. This sucks.
>>721657303Seduce? Never.Courting, Proposing, and Marrying after building a mutually supportive and caring relationship? I'd risk eternal damnation and more for her.
>>721642729You're all overreacting faggots
>>721645005so this is why it is getting overrated reviews
>>721656980>one retarded niggerfaggot who probably pirated the game complainswhat does that have to do with anything you seething cunt
>>721649504>I just don't get the hate about EAIn my case, I don't like it because it splits the community. I'd wait for it to release, go pick it up on release, only to find it's already been discussed to death years ago.Also, for 90% of EA, they never actually leave EA, they release it, work on it for a year or two, and then leave. It's almost always an easy cash grab.
>>721649504early access sucks because games that have been on early access for 10+ years are retarded since they'll never be finished ever. project zomboid has been early access for 12 years. ultrakill has been early access for 5 years. there's no excuse for a game taking that long to develop
>>721645005This feels like a racial caricature you see in WMBF porn
>>721658380>is that... short hair? on a woman???>AIIIIIEEE, I'M GOING INSANE SAVE ME NIGGERMAN
I'm Neo
>>721658380>god rolling around in a wheelchair>fine???????
I'm waiting for the physical release on Switch 2, enjoy the game bros.
>>721658841got a better idea?
>>721644035I loved the unkept loner vibe in her design in 1 tho...
>>721658574Short hair is about the least feminine feature a woman could possibly haveI would argue fucking a man with long hair is less gay than fucking a woman with short hair, especially a disgusting dyke-looking hag
>>721658380What's wrong with Polyphemus?
>>721653985fatherless princess...
>>721659002I can see his fucking armpit hair and his happy trailBarashit does not belong in muh games
>>721645005Yes Athena, we see the fit, you can take off the helmet now.
>>721658380>gook Hermes>finelol
So is it better than the first game
>>721658997>I would argue the gayest shit you've ever readIt's fascinating, I have noticed that closeted homosexuals complain the most about short hair on women
>>721645005The lipstick being so visible under the cast shadow is what breaks it.
>>721658997Extremely homosexual post
>>721658841he's supposed to be a cripple in the greek myth his mom threw him from the mountaintop
>>721659158I didn't even notice until you pointed it out because I don't spend that long looking at male characters.
>>721658997You're literally just a faggot
I just started playing it and I find the description of "scorch" very confusing and I don't get how it works.
>>721658997Have you ever considered the fact you might actually be a literal homosexual? Not an insult, I mean you literally seem to prefer men.
Enough gossiping about who is the hottest boy, give me BOON TIER LISTS
>your gods are black nowlmao. they were not subtle at all.
>>721641041>>721642729the artstyle is repulsive

>>721659936I mean it kind of is. Had you molested me as a kid I'd be a raging faggot today, too. But thanks for refraining
it's a real shame how a simple but fun roguelike can be ruined so hard by downright repulsive character design. Oh well
Mel has as much personality as a brick wall. The only thing going on for her is her bare legs.Don't like any of the weapons thus far either, wtf is this dogshit compared to Zag's toys

HAHA

>>721641041Do I have to play 1 before this?
Shouldn't the gods be more appealing than a spider rather than less?
Never went beyond Fields in EA, because the moment I bought it in the summer, 1.0 was announced.Is this how Tartarus always has been? This is some beyond bullshit. Something you'd see in a punishment pact.
>>721642336>ummget raped downsyndrome dog
>>721656058so no?
>>721661543It would be good to do.

>>721659435do you think the opinion of your fag boycrush is worth anything?
>>721644323>If it wasnt for early access they would have still had that retarded resource collection system they had in early access that pissed players offreally? that was the thing in early access that made me annoyed and had me stop playing

>>721644323I'm still gobsmacked they tried to pull that shit honestly.I can only imagine how fucking long gathering shit would've took if you could only gather one type of resource at a time.

>>721662681wait til u find out u can do all content in this game with offscreen lighting spam. weapon doesnt matter. they give this absolute piece of slop a 10/10 lmao
look guys, game does not want me to die!
>>721663583like, at all!
>>721663547So it's just PoE?
>is the cutest goddess in both games>somehow managed to dodge getting turned into an uggo like everyone elsethere is a single dude on the SG team that is a mega waifufag for this greek goddess and he refuses to let other people touch her or something
>>721663583>>721663656ough... fuck
>>721662681It's okay, maybe it's not for you :)
>>721663583>>721663656Look guys, a retard getting baited into picking mob control boons instead of single damage ones who's gonna get raped by the next boss
>>721663903what a sad life you live
>>721664086What a tranime posting life you live
is this game still cutscene slop where it expects me to spend hours talking to and "care" for all the NPC's and decide to date them and masturbate to them in my free time? because if that's so im not even gonna pirate it.

>>721664630One of the few improvements 2 has over 1.Fucking hated broccoli lady.
>>721664630I wish you could request a song for her to sing during her fight.I want to hear her be happy about having an adoring fan in Meinoe, even if she's just pretending.
so I die to the singing fish boss 4 times, then when I finally beat her, I get this debuff the next roomwhy are they a bunch of faggot?
Is there any reason to restart my save? I played for long enough to get through the second boss on the overworld, back before they added the third boss. Are the changes to speed and order of unlocking various stuff significant?Don't really care about the story.
>>721645005SHOOOP DA WHOOP BIX NOOD MAH NIGGA
>>721664998Chew slower
>>721664630How do you get the last one to play? Does it have to be regular, non-Vow of Rivals Scylla?
>>721665336I LITERALLY died 4 times to her before I could beat her, how much slower do I have to be?
>>721648425Unironically.
Zagreus in Melinoe's clothesMelinoe in Zagreus's clothes
>>721665471I just saw it on vow of rivals on my early access save
>>721661605what a brown coded post
>>721665510Savor the steak. Don't even chew, just let it sit on your tongue.
>>721665037Just keep your save, if only to save yourself grinding moss/bronze/silver to unlock early game shit. There's still hidden weapon aspects + newish stuff to unlock
>>721658516>community>for a single player gamestop letting FOMO control you and play games whenever you want, instead of only when it's trendy, and you will have no issues with early access
>>721661554yeah, there are some real nasty rooms that can be full of the laser fuckers too. the armored bags is basically why I always take some armor break if I can during my runs because most regular enemies can be stunlocked to death once their armor is broken
>>721663903>getting raped by non vow of rivals bosses
>>721666317the last two bosses of the surface can be difficult unvowed but yeah the rest should be cakewalks.
I still have to 'beat' the first Hades because I progressed too quick for what the game wanted and my runs became super easy unless I went full retard with the modifiers, so I got bored of beating Hades just to get the story piece by piece.
So how much am I missing out if I jump straight into this without playing the original? I'd rather play as the cute girl than the twink.
>>721666765you'd be missing out on the characterization of most of the gods, the whole family dynamic in the House of Hades (the thing you're fighting to restore) and the connection to the main character, whose rescue is probably the biggest motivator for most of the people who played the original.
>>721666507>>721666317In general does the vow make things harder than extreme measures bosses?Prometheus+Hercules is raping me
>>721667078I'd say so yeah, Hades 1 is pretty reasonable even with EM4 but I was struggling even with just the Cyclops in the tiny ass room and the poison.
>>721664998>>721663742Does Eris really do this if you don’t talk to her? I just assumed this was optional.
he heals for 1280 if he gets a hit. god damn. had a super shitty build too
>>721667251naw it's a thing put in to try to stop you from getting clears too early, IIRC it lets up pretty early so you don't have to sweat it for too long but I played in EA where I regularly hit progression walls because the game was unfinished.
m&kb or gamepad? consoleplebs need not apply
>>721667669gamepad, it has an isometric perspective but does not control like diablo at all.
strife ruined my run. dumb game.
can you avoid being turned into a sheep by the first boss?
>>721667886Dodge into it.
is it 1.0 yet? im gonna but it
Man the weapons are boring as fuck thus far
the worst redesign is chaos
Is this game fun if you don't have vagina?
>>721642729>ugh, white men are so LE BORING!I am a white man.I do not like that sentiment.I shall, therefore, not buy.'s that simple!
>>721667395is that the fucking villain from Osmosis Jones
>>721642729Theres arguably only one 'black' character here. Most of these are just the stylized Greek bronze look you hear about in their stories. Greeks were not ghostly pale.
Lol, no, Hades 2 won't be comparable to Silksong.Hades 2 would be more comparable to a hypothetical "Goose Game 2" than Silksong. In other words, it will be successful because everyone was talking about the game at the time of its release, but it'll be much more limited and short-lived now that the normalfags have moved on to the next thing everyone is talking about.Hollow Knight has its problems, but it built its reputation on its qualities and was never really a fad of the week.
>>721664630coral crown > bewitching eyes > rock > clawthey're all great though
I kind of want to play this but i hate roguelikes. Why can't it be a proper action RPG. Starting over each time removes all fun
>>721668953nigga who the FUCK brought up silksongfucking shizo
Nice try Eris.
>>721667669m&kb, there's multiple boons/weapons with "you aim your thing at a spot", and aintnoway that works better on controller.
>>721669015I forgot to quote the faggot from the first reply.
>>721669027That's what I came away with after merely 40hrs in Hades1. Swapping up your control scheme depending on the weapon you go in with. Guessing 2 is the same.
>>721649029>>721649306Retarded samefag. Heaphaestus has lameness, he's not an obese oil wrestler in a faggot wheelchair. Shut the fuck up if you're going to defend turning the vast majority of the Greed pantheon into some flavor of brown. You know it's ideological, don't even fucking pretend.
rat killed me. hard to fight with those twin swords
>>721645005Blackwashing wasn't enough, they have to literally give her dreads
>>721658380>prominent man nips with matching feminine high cheekbones>the classic combo: brown skin, white hair, and androgynous as fuck>What mythology was this, again? Fuck it, make hermes Korean.>not pictured: athenaLet the slop flop.
>>721668839You're being too generous, and you can't say Hestia is "arguably black" when she has literal vitiligo. Also Hermes is Asian. They race-swapped Greek gods and the dev has gone on interviews and talked about how proud he is of not having white people in his games.And the thing is personally I normally wouldn't give a shit, they're not historical figures, it's all fantasy, yada yada whatever. But imagine what these people would say if I made a game where the Greek gods are white and blonde and blue-eyed, or with white African gods, or race-swapped any fictional black character. These people are fucking hypocrites and that's what pisses me off about shit like this. "Rules for thee, not for me!" Kill them all.
>>721658997>fag tries to fit in>goes too far and outs himself Every time
>>721669359A black queen is providing wisdom and you will listen and learn.
>>721668574There are white men in the game though
Lesbian hate sex between Melinoe and Nemesis.
>>721669386>not pictured: athenaathena wasn't in the early access at the time when that image was made
Thoughts on melinoe?
>>721669654It actually occurs at some point.Not hate, more casual fuck in the woods.
>>721669775Honestly? Sex.
>>721669775i preferred zag as a protag but i like her
>>721667669I played with m&kb for H1 and most of the beta because that's what I did with Bastion, but I play with a pad now. It's a choice between easier aiming with the mouse or easier dodging with the analog due to being able to move in more directions. I wouldn't say one is better than the other.>>721667886Really hard to explain without a video, but you just have to run away and dash back through it at the last second. Or just hide behind your frog if you have him.
>>721669775YASSSS QUEEEEENNNN
>>721670110same energy
>>721669664>>721669386>athena wasn't in the early access at the time when that image was madeMust be an ancient shitpost then. Also explains why no Dionysus, you'd think people would use his bulge to complain about the woke agenda or whatever made up bullshit
>>721669775Her art is not consistent between the different poses.
>>721669775she's no Zag, certainly doesn't have his charisma after being raised by an autistic witch in the woods, but she's fine.>>721670253this is annoying. her face morphs a lot.
where the fuck is the ankergames release
>>721669775Her dress is cute but I don't like her color scheme, orange with the baja blast arm is just garish. Zag had a much cleaner look
>>721669775Hot and overall I like the more serious mood of this game compared to the first one where it felt like it had no stakes, but she's a little boring. Zagreus was more charismatic, but him being friends with everybody and making quips and such made the game too annoying to me. Like it was trying too hard to be wholesome.
>>721669775i skip all the dialogue so i dunno
>>721645005please tell me there's a mod to replace this and the hermes art with hades 1's
>>721669775her svelte flaming feets need to melt candle wax on artemis in her secluded segs hut before a hunt. with shibari involved as a prelude to training how to weave traps
>>721658517>project zomboid has been early access for 12 yearsAnd in development for even longer, at least 15 years, maybe even 16.
lol did it in one try
>>721668839/v/ has to shit their pants about any game that isnt animu kawaii artstyle (they werent going to buy the game anyways)
>>721669775I like her. Never understood the hype for Zagreus desu.
When do i get aspects? And are there any more weapons after axe?
>>721671556Just like last time. They are arbitrarily given by characters.
>>721671556Aspects for each weapon are a bit after reaching the surface (need a bunch of bronze). Two more weapons after axe, and then a secret aspect for all of them later
Just unlocked the axe kinda rules. Reminds me of the Aspect of Arthur.Which god is good for the attack and special? Helios for huge AoE?
Hades 2 doesnt have enough level, enemy and upgrade variety desuAlways been my biggest issue with both games
I CHOSE THE OPTIONS THAT UP THE MAGIK COST AND STILL WITH MAGIK 50 XDDDDXDXDXD
>>721672363Did you uh...not know about the surface route? You know, roughly double the levels, bosses, and enemies?
>>721642729I still don't get how Hermes went so fucking fast that he became Chinese between both games
>>721672363In general? Agreed. Compared to 1? It's a massive improvement. But you still only have one boss for each level on each route for example.
>dude you need to beat the games 40 times to see the ending hoping you dont get fucked over by rngRogue likes are trash
Turning on the vow that gives armored enemies perks is a pretty good source of variety although it can get kind of annoying
>>721671849I had a good run with the axe when I used the attack and special buffs from the fat blacksmith guy in the wheelchair.
>>721671849aphro fucks with the damage
>>721672791hades and hades 2 are like the least rng dependent roguelites ever, right next to nuclear throne. you saying this is quite literally just an admission that you fucking suck dick at the games lol
>>721672826haven't unlocked the lardman yet. I'll be on the lookout.>>721672939does it? the AoE is kinda huge so I wasn't sure if I'll get the proximity buff.
man that +%dmg curse is rough. didnt realize how the chronos level worked so went to a few boon floors my first time then got fucked. 2nd time I had that boon that made dmg go through your gold (3 for 1dmg) that really really saved me.
>>721672985It's still a slog to go through the game to get through the story events, although I have over a hundred runs done in early access. The point is to not to rush it, although many do.
>>721673007oh there was a part 2. nvm lmfao
>>721644035I liked her pony tail in H1, I was never a fan of twin tails. that being said, she still mogs all the other gods in terms of looks. 8.5/10
>>721673006Slap her on the attack
>>721644754absolutely not, small breast and flat chest are the only real right answer.
>>721672791Your objective is to kill the last boss. Unlike other kinds of games, every time you replay the game the experience is a little different and the plot advances a little. If you replay a traditional game, it's the exact same experience again which is boring. Therefore roguelikes are superior.
>>721669245He's also supposed to be absolutely hideous. Retard.
does this game have multiple forms for each weapon like the first one? i'm not too nuts about the movesets so far, except the axe.
>>721673464yes
>>721673464Yes, There's 4 for each weapon
>>721673486ah good stuff.
>>721645005I mean she's always depicted as having the helmet sit on top of her head, so now shes actually wearing the damn thing, so I'm for it. just don't like how it makes it look like her eyes are bugging out of her head.
>>721641192AAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHATROONS ARE FUCKING DELULU IN EVERY WAY
>>721673464Yes, the hidden 4th aspects in particular completely change how weapons work, even more than in one.
>>721648407I blame it more on the shading than any design fuck up. half her face is blown up like a bright sunny day in Antarctica and the other half is shaded like the dark side of the moon. its a bit jarring imo
I'm still pretty early into this whole thing, but the boon RNG is fucking me in Erebus. In H1 I was pretty much guaranteed to get an attack or special boon at the beggining and I'm routinely getting some useless shit like mana regen, or cast boons.
>>721661451The plots garbage compared to the first>YOU NEED TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE BAD MANwow, thats way better than the emotional drama between father and son over his mother.
>>721663741>bags under eyes like a neet.I don't know but this just fits her for some reason.
>>721674125The only reason I played this shit is to save the family lmao
Holy shit what a gay fucking ending
>>721674171>autistically tracking elusive pray till dawndefinitely in character
>>721674215>storyslop i'm here for gameplay
>start playing>hey man this is pretty easy>first boss>turns me into a sheep>diewelp
>>721674215Spoil it
seems like a pretty low effort sequel
>>721642729Why do they keep trying to make Hapehestus cool when he was an ugly cripple who constantly got cucked?
>>721641041No launch discount means I don't care. This has been out for a year and a half, it should be less than $20 at this point, especially for people who own the first.
>>721641192Lol Will Niggerphaestus and Troonphodite crash the store?Gee I wonder? How many blacks and troons are there? And they're all so cashed up aren't they.
Reminder that in early access you could only bring one tool at a time for some fucking reason.
>>721674125The first game is just daddy issues: the game. There are no stakes, nothing is serious, everyone likes everyone and it's all about misunderstandings which is some anime shit writing. To make matters worse, Zagreus fighting his way out of the underworld and fighting the same bosses every day to test underworld's security (how is the arena battle with Theseus part of security?) is the most laughable lazy writing to justify roguelike elements I've ever seen. Hades 2 is more generic but the bar was so low it can be considered a massive improvement.
>>721674619Nigger what.Zag is trying to escape the underworld to see his mother, everyones trying to stop him because Hades is asshurt.The greek gods are helping Zag because they are also assholes and like fucking with Hades.Where the fuck did you get he was testing the security from?
>>721674619???? are you ESL or something bro
Who's got the high speed boons now? Hestia? I wanted to go Zeus again but they replaced his lightning with some gay Blitz shit.
>>721674379Melinoe manages to talk to Zagreus in the past and tells him to kill Chronos. He finds Chronos and just says "Dude why don't you just be like a nice grandpa to us" and Chronos says okay and you see him playing hide and seek with Melinoe. Back in the present Chronos is feeling bad about it all, releases Zagreus and his mom and Zagreus convinced Melinoe to not kill Chronos even though she doesn't remember any of those happy memories. Says she's going to stay a witch with Hecate, says "bye for now but I'll see you often", her and Chronos leave with Selene so Chronos can have a private one on one meeting with Zeus, credits roll.
>>721674549was already cheap in early access, wait for sale then good luck people need to stop acting as if a company owes them a discount, the entitlement is unreal
>>721674619>The first game is just daddy issues: the gameAnd not only does it fit the greek mythology perfectly, it's incredibly charming in its own right
>>721674935No way thats real
>>721649029How about the fact it was swapped from a SMITH, A MALE PROFESSION, into fucking AUNT JEMIMA. Your argument is facetious and you're a dickhead. This is part of our history, not there's. They featured at most as slaves and at least as savage foreigners. They don't belong in this game but this isn't really a game about Greek Mythology, it's essentially as fucked as the myriad of anime games that turn historical figures into bolt on stick figures.
>>721675049>SMITH, A MALE PROFESSION, into fucking AUNT JEMIMA.you know hephaestus and hestia are different characters right
>EA>100k players>1.0>80kb-b-bros?
>>721674783that's the post game explanation for why he keeps doing runs after mom comes home
>>721653489Yeah, two wrongs don't make a right but we didn't cast the first stone etc. Trannies deserve the rope and blacks don't belong in the Mediterranean.
>>721675037https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNT5gQYh3sHere's the ending.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4VT-_mEM_0This brings to mind a very specific song or artist but I can't name it
>>721653489Nigga, shut the fuck up. This is /v/. You did not come here actually expecting discussion of the game itself. If you did, then you're too new here.
>>721653396>Most masculine Athenian
>>721641041>SGG is done making brand new games and will continue milking Hades until the end of timeSucks that Hades 2 was middling too, at least last when I played it, with more content not really making it feel any better.
>>721641041>bought game on impulse after seeing the metacritic score>start playing >Apollo appears>he’s a fucking nigger>immediately consider uninstalling and refunding the game>but I got it on switch 2 so there’s no refundsIs it too much to ask to not be forced to deal with poz just this once
>>721653396He was originally going to be brown
>>721642729Would cuck Zeus with his bitchy wife
>>721669775pretty hot
>>721675754bait
I can't even be fucking bothered to remember how the optimal boon combinations worked from the first game. I just have little desire to play this.
>>721675708BASED
>>721642729Whats this artstyle called? Just by looking at it you can tell the artist is a massive leftist faggot who probably grew up on tumblr
>>721669775Nice design, boring as sin. Zagreus was a faggot but wasn't as boring as least.
>unlock the new weapon>it's a boring shit compared to Zag's weapons yet again>it's every bloody weaponYou have the entire arsenal of Bastion to draw inspiration from, for fuck's sake
>>721675754>bought game on impulse after seeing the metacritic scoreWhat in fuck's name are you doing?>>721675791>pointy earsyuck
Is my wife Artemis in this shit?
>>721676171yes. still cute, too.
I liked Hades 1 but this never appealed to me from when it was announced.
not feeling this one vros
>>721676217wtf why can't I get this fly off my screen
yeah, I also noticed the game felt weird and that the weapons weren’t fun when I first started playing. Now I honestly think H2 >> H1
>>721642729>greek pantheon>niggers and one random asian dude
>>721676217I'm having fun but I'm not feeling the ost and the main hub
>>721676217go back to sucking dicks on reddit
>>721675708I do question why the goddess of beauty and love is inarguably outclassed in looks by Pandora turned into a goofy ghost.Feels like the artist wouldn't do that on purpose.
is it good or what, 444 replies I'm not reading the thread
>>721676203Very nice, thank you
I still can't beat Chronos. Once he goes into his second form I just can't do enough damage to him while also avoiding all his horseshit.
>>721676489It's alright. It got a lot of freebies by journos for the art/message/etc.It's a longer Hades with worse writing and more involved boons.
>>721676639Might be fun, I bought the early access and I thought it was OKAY but the weapons didn't feel too good and they were still working on the boons etcI'll do a few runs now I guess
My intuition tells me that Hera's status gimmick is worthless. It's only good for clearing super weak enemies and you have to go hard into Hera boons that spread it easily, but that sacrifices a lot of power that is more generally useful.
Im gonna laugh my ass off if the game ends up sells less than the early access version due to normies being done with political correctness in western media.
>>721676791They're not done with that, they're done with Jews.
>>721676791what do you mean, it's the same game?all that would mean is that more people bought it in the last 2 than they did today, which wouldn't be too surprising
>>721676171Yeah. She's not hanging on Olympus though, so no boons from her. She shows up in person, though. Hangs out in your hub camp, sometimes helps you out like Thanatos did in Hades 1.
I don't get it. What is this good for?
>>721676896it does damage
>>721676896More damage
>>721676896It's slower Doom but you can proc it by dealing damage.
>>721674783>Zag is trying to escape the underworld to see his mother, everyones trying to stop him because Hades is asshurt.AKA: stuff they could solve in an afternoon with just talking. Not worth using Greek god powers to fight over.>The greek gods are helping Zag because they are also assholes and like fucking with Hades.Zagreus lies to them about his motivations and they don't know why Zagreus is trying to escape. IIRC they think Zag is trying to go to Olympus, because the real motivation is shit even in-universe.>>721675035>it's incredibly charming in its own rightle big chungus wholesome gay saccharine reddit shit. Saving the world from the titan of time because he escaped and convinced mortals that the current reign of gods is worse than the reign of titans was is a cooler story by far. Being part of some cool underground resistance is better than saying hi to the last boss just casually sitting in the lobby whenever you start every run like in the first game.
>>721676873I meant that sales for 1.0 and beyond don't sell as well as those who bought the game in early access.
>>721677043Small stakes petty shit is just what Greek gods do.Save da world is most games.
>>721641041...isn't it out? I put down the first one, but I'm sure the sequel came out.
i cant progress without god mode
>>721659594I was under the impression he was a "cripple" like Quasimodo from the hunchback.
>>721677204N
>>721676896Hades 2 does a lot of boons that are basically just "deal damage to deal more damage". Blitz does a bonus 100 damage to enemies you attack, after 4 seconds or after you deal 120 more damage after the first hit, whichever is faster. Basically, it rewards continuous damage builds since you'll be able to fire more bolts (and thus do more overall damage) compared to a build that does a lot of damage in slower bursts.
>>721677043>le big chungus wholesome gay saccharine reddit shitSpeak human language, living trash.
>>721677254Quasimodo was never a cripple, he is deformed. Some deformities can be crippling, but Quasimodo's wasn't.
>>721677180It was early access, same way the original as early access.
how the fuck do I avoid being cursed
>>721677443frog
Just played for a bit, beat the first boss.I dont like it as much as the first. The casting is kinda gay
>>721659594isn't there 2 contending versions, one as you said and the other where he was deformed from birth?
>>721677532casting spells, or the character cast?
>>721677443By Eris? Die. She exists to make sure you don't beat the game too fast so she stops showing up after enough attempts.
>>721677621yes
Arachne's boon also granting a cute new dress is kino
>>721677443>cursing is still in the gamelmfao
>first boss in the original Hades is your pissed off ex, the fight feels personal, they have awesome banter together>first boss in this game is utterly fucking RETARDED and harms you before you even set off on your mission for absolutely no reason>no fun banter, nothing
>>721677621I probably just have to get used to it but i keep canceling the "hold attack" cast thing.Also my settings are probably fucked i cant aim for shit. Will probably just move to kb+m because the arrows go flying at the slightest movement of my joystick

>see yurishitters gloating how much better the female romance options are>they are both completely fucking insufferable and have no good chemistry with Mel
>>721677532It is kinda gay. I feel like you need to get the impervious while casting thing unless you manage to get a boon that makes your cast ranged
Hades 2 will never have a moment as kino as cerberus boss
>>721677780WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH IS THAT A WOMAN IN MY VIDEO GAMES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SAVE ME TRUMP
>>721678062Is it a woman?
>>721677954Which ones are the romance? Dont tell me its that shade you see at the start
>>721677993am i retrarded i thought you never cerberus?
you don't get that chronos curse each time? damn that's kinda dumb could have done stage 2 without it the 2nd time I fought him
>>721677954Even then all the tumblr fags are predictably going to swarm to Nemesis
>>721677642The first boss, I forgot her name already.>She exists to make sure you don't beat the game too fast so she stops showing up after enough attempts.Is this fucking real?
>>721678419Exactly>Level is a build up to a Cerberus boss fight>You enter the boss room it comes out the music swells>And it walks up and nuzzles Zag and he pets it because its his dog and would never fight himWas a 10/10 moment and subversion
>>721678183Yep, she's your adoptive muscle mommy.
>>721678626True
>>721678356No, that would make people happy, so not her.
>>721678356Eris, Nemesis, Moros and Daedalus
>>721678602Yeah it's dumb. She curses you so you take more damage for every encounter you clear. If you meet her at the start of the second area you're taking double damage if you make it to Chronos.
>>721678626And this time around it's his retarded ugly version with massive hitboxes to compensate shit moveset
>>721678698>covid maskfucking woke
>>721678848Hades 1 didn't had shit like this right? why include such a blueballing mechanic?
>>721678836>DaedalusIcarus
>an entire biome that's just a giant open field with basically no level design for individual rooms>by far the easiest biome with absolutely nothing to harrass youDid they just give up with this game?
>>721675708A week until a patch where she insults and rejects you. Just like Dusa.
>>721679003Because most people beat Hades "too fast" and missed a bunch of dialogue. I guess they couldn't find a better solution but make you die easier until you got to the right point.
Am i dreaming or Cronos has way easier patterns than Hades?
>>721677954Eris and Nemesis are such cunts, it's purely just because yurifags have low standards. Or just like shitty women.
>>721679327I also think he does, but he's also not the harder of the 2 final bosses
>>721642729Stop kvetchingthe first Hades was also leftie-coded.it just wasn't too on the nose,and had great dialogue and writing.
rivals 4 is just mean
>>721679341The only good thing about Eris is her thighs, but that shitty personality is unfixable
>>721661554lmao tartarus is literally the easiest area in the game, you should be killing the small dudes in one second and the bigger guys in 3 seconds max
>>721677443ABD = Always Be DashingCurse can't turn around on a dime, though it is still very fast so you don't have any breathing room, but doubling back does buy you like half a second
>>721679140That sucks but I was able to defeat her by dodging that sheep thing a few times.
>>721674932>they replaced his lightning with some gay Blitz shit.chain lightning is in and better than it was in 1, it applies to both attack and special without taking up any slots at the cost of 50 max mana
>>721676750>origination>moros aspect flames>special heraor>medea aspect skull>attack hera both free winsactually, both origination or medea skull are kind of free wins on their own, but those synergies in specific are top tieraxe attack likes hera more than most other statuses too
on who should I use my nectar? also what resource should I make my number 1 priority?
>>721679327I can't figure out how to beat Cronos but I beat Hades pretty easily even on high heat.
