Surprisingly fun doing a new file.
This game owns and grows on you the more you play btw, I thought the same in EA but this game just exposes the first for being unbalanced with some genuine horrible weapons and boons.
Story in both is gay so who cares but I will say Zag might be slightly better than Mel but Mel is a great female char regardless
>>
>>721711430
the voice actress for mel is excellent. the weapons in 2 are way more out there than the first and i think thats a double edged sword. something like the coat or the skulls are completely insane and you have to completely rewire your hades 1 instincts to use it

Is there a double sword, or are you talking about the sickle and dagger? I'm also having trouble coming to terms with the available weapons. The Hades 1 selection was vastly superior.

It's leftist propaganda
>>
>>721713258
what's the message?

>>721706738
The 1 wasnt propaganda-friendly enough. Which is way instead of doing a new game a sequel was made to correct that issue.

>>721713107
Thanks, might still get it if bored just for the gameplay. But it's autoskip on every dialogue for sure, it's embarrassing what did did to the gods(loved greek mythology growing up)
>>
>>721713225
it takes a while to get used to the hades 2 weapons because they really are weird feeling. but they are super versatile with omega moves, you'll get used to them eventually. the only really "normal" feeling weapons in 2 are the staff and the twin blades.

i think overall they end up being better than the original weapons purely by making the gameplay decisions less binary.

i really love how the skull plays personally but i can see how it would turn people off. i think a lot of it is expecting the weapons to be more of the same from hades 1 but they really got weird with it
>>
>>721713403
1st had much better writing and characters so if you didnt like that you will hate H2

>>721713430
I'm mostly having trouble pairing up the weapons with the right boons. There synergies are much less obvious. Stuff like putting Zoos on the Exagryph was a no-brainer. Not really seeing that here.

yes. apparently the 1st game had issues where the story couldn't keep up if you were too good and weren't dying enough for the right dialogue to happen, so Eris is here to prevent that

The gameplay is maybe marginally better, but that's nothing a patch for Hades 1 could not have done.
The narrative part is significantly worse. Beginning much more in media res makes the story less compelling, the Act 1 boss works fine the first time, but why does you teacher keep fighting you again and again?
Also, some gods voice line seems slightly accelerated, like x1.2, it's uncanny.

Glad I didn't buy that.

I actually enjoyed the first game going for the whole cartoony family drama thing with its writing. I can't say I listened to all of it, but a lot of characters managed to have a grasp on my attention.

2's writing is so much fucking worse it's unreal. There's like 2 characters who have any sort of development to them and the rest are literally just wasting your time by spending entire paragraphs on things that could be said in less than 10 words. Of course they can't do that because then the characters would be repeating the same 5 fucking lines.
Scylla is the only character I enjoyed listening to and that's only because I want her to bite my head off the moment I nut inside her umami-flavored fishussy.

Too bad, because the rest of the game is a very solid upgrade compared to 1.

Yaaay, first clear.
Also, why the hell were they acting like this wasn't my first time killing him? That was some bizarre conversation.
Mel immediately went "waah go ahead and remake yourself, I know you can't die, I'll be back"
Kind of anticlimactic for the first win dialogue. The first game at least didn't off the bat presuppose that the character knows they will be doing it again and again, like some roguelite.

I think because unlike the first game, you're fighting someone who's known for it. If you talk to your dad during the run you'll bring it up too. You're basically not trying to kill him, you're trying to hinder him as you search for a way to stop him

Didn't stop neither Hades nor BG3 from being major successes.
There's literally nothing wrong with those things when they are executed properly by caring people as opposed to being forced by the suits for gibs.
And now that there are no gibs, the instances of those things will be both rarer and better executed.

Of course this won't stop you, a subhuman retard that you are, from crying about it and turning into the laughing stock that serves only one purpose: show the public that only retarded faggots like you are complaining, making the product's perceived value go up.

Fuck this garbage dogshit sub-human game. Anyway, did the Eris debuff used to be stronger in the past? Will it be still present on future runs or is it just a 1st time thing?
The sluggish movement compared to the snappy and arcade-like from the 1st is really bothering me, but I'll get used to it. The boss fights also seems to take quite longer too, but maybe it's just the overall slower pace of the game. I prefer the boss fights from the 1st, but they were also nothing to really write about, just ok.

Also, Eris will only occur if you get further than first-time players are supposed to in the first ten runs.
The more you run, the easier the game gets. It's not designed for you to be able to nuke down every boss in the first couple of runs.

I've seen many early access complaints about it being hades 1, except with much more bloated enemy health pools and much more tedious damage sponge chewing gameplay. Is that so?
>>
>>721723860
i mean i get that, just that for me the builds themselves felt really lacking in hades 1 and it was like you had the same build every run. the amount of enemies wouldn't help with that problem

There's six different weapons with four different variations each, leading to twenty-four different core styles of gameplay, which can be further altered with hammers and boons to specialise at attacking or specials or casting or dashing or hexes or specific synergies between gods and boons and keepsakes and pets.
If that sounds like it's not enough, then I recommend you find a rogue-lite game with more variation than that.

Is it even possible to make Tall Order work? Do you get more chance for boons on the surface? Because it feels pretty much impossible doing the underworld. Like the most elements I've gotten to 8 at once were two and that was with getting Tall Order early and prioritising boons after that.

Compared to 1 I think so. Most of Mel's weapons are ranged and the enemy designs reflect that. Lots of enemies make it super dangerous to get close because they have wonky hitboxes with frame 1 startups. Mel is way to less snappy than zag too. She can't don't cancel things with a dodge nearly as fast and can't dodge as much or as frequently.

I want to feel immersed in the setting and having 90% of your characters to act like smug all-powerful teenage girls isn't helping. It's on par with "millennial writing" on things that I find detrimental to quality media.

The axe sucks shit. It needs to knock away or dissipate projectiles to be viable because of how bullet helly everything is. The candlesticks are the only worthwhile option so far. Any kind of magick regen will let you hold attack to win. Magick in general becomes a joke meter once you have the arcana that restores like 6mp a second.

Ares has some decent stuff, like the blade rift on omega casts. I'll did a cast build with the demeter gust, ares blades, zeus lightning bolt cast to use casts at range, hephestus ring and the staff that drops a cast at your pet and did good ass damage, though it seems to count the blade damage as cast damage

they were good in 1 just pretty one note and not very flashy outside of Demeter's. the extra damage from the embedded shards was too good to pass up, but they're a proper build type now in 2 which is really nice.

If you just replaced all the Hades designs with Danmachi-tier coombait and kept everything else about the game identical it would've done even bigger numbers. Why's it gotta be reduced to style or substance, why not both? I simply don't want to buy Hades 2 because the designs are repulsive.

I liked Hades, but I don't see this improving the gameplay in a very significant way. I refunded it when I got debuffed for being too good at the game. Absurdly horrible game design, I'm getting punished for doing too well? Fuck off man, it's a sequel and it plays almost the same, why would I be expected to be a bloody beginner at the gameplay?
Also, people are right to complain about the character designs, they are kind of horrid. But it was always a tumblr core game so I didn't mind it that much.

I haven't played the final build yet but between air quality and chain lighting Zeus was fucking amazing, his cast also carried me once with a bunch of levels in his "gives a chance of hitting another lightning bolt" boon. The worst to me is Hephaestus, because his attack and special boons are only good with a bunch of levels and rarity. Or Ares, who is very underwhelming in general.

the surface is really bad, they balanced it around absolute max luck and arcana, i just said fuck it and used god mode

Doors go inside where you might meet Dionysius. Platforms keep you outside where you might meet Icarus if you haven't met him in the ships. There are other specific encounters but I don't remember them.

I hadn't played since the game released in EA, just beat the surface. Prometheus was hard as fuck but really fun, in contrast Typhon was a disappointment but the Zeus cutscene was cool at least
Now to beat the game 100 times more, there is so much new shit to collect
>>
>>721762852
You can make him really good but it requires insane investment. I could have done more if I had his blast procs twice if you use it right away effect. He used to have the best run build a few patches ago where the run would level by 100 and proced every like 8 seconds leading to just running circles around bosses until they died but they nerfed that to the ground.

When did zeus get so good? I've gotten a few boons from him but nothing that has been crazy I'm not a fan of blitz because it requires another boon to make it less annoying to use.
