how is your game going?
>>721764862Started a new file for 1.0, and made it to Cerberus on the tutorial run. Almost beat Chronos on my third run, but didn't beat him until my sixth.So it's going pretty good.
Gow chronos' ass on the 2nd take. In general it's much easier than Hades 1. Partly because you don't have to unlock shit at the mirror.Also the boons are a downgrade from the 1st game thus far. More gimmicks with less noticable effects.
>>721764862That's a man.
I finally got Eris to fucking leave me alone, I didn't play early access. Got to the floor after Cerberus but died there. Any handy unlocks I should rush?
>>721764862She's sexier than I remember.
>>721765789Bottom left cards have rerolls and remember to gather up all the nectar you can and gift one to every god you meet so you can get their keepsakes. These two things should much improve your quality of life by giving you much greater control over builds.
>>721765952Alright thanks, I was doing the nectar thing already cause I played the first game.
What's going on with this chick's cleavage?Are her tits melted together?
>>721766071male
>>721766071She's a flatty and the dress is pushing up what little there is.
>>721764862How is it compared to the first?I generally went with anything that buffed the fash, especially damage and used the shield a bit
How did they make a naked white girl unappealing?How.Her expression is the same annoying insufferable smirk I see in every SJW characters.
>>721766071downgrade
>Dude, you haven't even made it past Scylla yet? It's night 20.How do you respond?
>>721766439Pretty much a strict improvement aside from a less appealing hub world.
>>721766462They're Greek Gods, being annoying insufferable egomaniacs if kind of their schtick. They're supposed to represent the extremes of human nature, for better or for worse, like Zeus's godly lust, Hera's godly jealousy, or Aphrodite's godly wantonness.
>>721766865>They're Greek Gods, being annoying insufferable egomaniacs if kind of their schtick.Greek gods have always been nice people. Stop spreading misinformation.
Oof
>>721767168Fuck you too.
>>721766439Pure moment-to-moment gameplay feels more fun. Feels a bit faster. Unbalanced as hell, some boons are complete garbage, while some are broken. 1 had better balance. It's way less SOVLFVL. Zagreus was a charming rogue, shittalking and banting with everyone. Melinoe meanwhile is just... there.
>>721766071what the fuck is that HAHAHAHAH
So as a person who didn't really vibe with Hades 1 that much because of the lack of variety, how does Hades 2 fare? I feel like the roguelike element of Hades was easily its weakest part.
>>721766723Dunno. Killed Chronos on night 7. Surface is kicking my ass tho.
spoonfeed me best aspect for each weapon please
>>721766071Is she meant to look like a noh mask in a shinto garb or something? With this artist I genuinely can't tell, but Eurydice and Chronos had nip elements in their designs too.
>>721768119Aim for longevity, with lots of healing. The final boss isn't that hard, but the path leading to him can drain your health real fast. Beat the surface on my third try, got Chronos on night 9.
how many years after the 1st does it take place? did they at least get centuries of peace or was their happy ending ruined a couple years later?
>>721764862I started a fresh run and died against Cronos at a very small amount of health, but I'm guessing he comes back a million times or something, so I'm just going to say I almost beat his first phase for the first time.
>>721764862Played 15 minutes at a friend's place and didn't bother playing anymore.
>>721767496>1 had better balance.LOL not even remotely close. Hades 1's weapon/boon balance was perhaps the worst part about it.The build variety in Hades 2 is significantly better, so long as you're willing to experiment.
*Clears throat*Sex with Scylla.Sex with Dora.Sex with Arachne.That is all.
idk how people are beating chronos so fastI can't even get past the 3rd boss reliably and I'm on like run 20 or 30
>>721768468You don't have friends, nor is that enough time to accurately judge a game. See? This is why journalists will always be more credible than /v/.
>>721768481I think it suits the setting that you can get incredibly powerful boons. I mean, they are gods, the enemies really shouldn't stand a chance against their onslaught.
>>721768580do you just beeline to runs everytime? with all the stuff from arcana and shit its almost impossible to not get to him without two death defiances up
>>721768580What keeps killing you?
>>721768580Honestly a bunch of it is just luck. Sometimes you just get handed an absolutely broken run.
>>721768694Don't use death defiance. The Strength arcana is much better.
>>721768694I have only 1 death defiance, I spend everything on the altar before I go but everything is really expensive>>721768770I get to the 3rd boss with like 20% hp then I die to 1 hit from the boss
how woke is this game exactly?
>>721768858That was my go-to in early access but rivals 3 and 4 are raping me on both routes now
>>721768895Find ways to kill enemies without taking damage. It's not a game wheer you rush into enemy groups; stay back and put down a cast and pick some of them off with ranged attacks.
>>721764862my lust for this granny overflows
The art style looks like something queers and transsexuals are going to love
>tanked over 2 minutes of overtime damageecks D
>>721769129I like Hestia's personality more. She just hates everyone.
I always start with Chaos keepsake, then the moon keepsake, then knucklebones for the final boss.
aspect of anubis is really fucking weird. i can't wrap my head around it
>>721769129i like her lines when her legendary boon procs on bosses
i liked playing the rightclick buildsaka do nothing but spam attacksso far it only really works on the fire sticks
>>721769546>tfw bringing the knucklebones to fight Polyphemus
>>721769659get poseidon on twin blades and have fun
>legendary chaos boon is still just death defiance that doesn't even heal for full hpgay
>>721769659My favorite are Hera run builds. You just run around, hook everyone up with contact damage and then unleash on some poor fool to kill the rest.
want to fuck Clotho
>>721768573Sex with Charybdis.
>>721768987completely, just see pic related
Wow, aspect of Medea is RETARDED strong.
>there's age regression in this gamesupergianttards?
How do you get adamant? for the last weapon (the cloak or something)the skulls are gay
>>721764862Game isn't fun. Honestly cannot be bothered to actually finish it.
its ok to use god mode
>>721770878Olympus
So, how is it compared to the first one?
>>721771586gameplay betterstories and characters worse
got my first pet and got to Chronos for the first time haven't open any aspects for weapons yetanons, how to defeat the fucking rat with melee weapons?that piece of shit always filter me with knives or axeI did not play EA
was the story of hades 1 even that good...? I only just dabbled with that game but all I got out of it was that Zag finds out who his real mom is and that's it. Anyone even remotely familiar with greek mythology already immediately knows how the story unfolds.
Looked at the roster for this game, without a doubt the ugliest and most unappealing Greek pantheon in all of fiction. I’m good
>>721771764you can use the steam vents to damage him in an aoe
>>721766071What's with the character art in this game? Seems unfinished all around. Look at this derpy face, looks like a doodle. The first game wasn't like that.
>>721766865Shut the fuck up, Ovid.
Can you sex Artemis here
>>721773085no
>>721766723"What's Scylla?"
the only good weapon in the game is the axe with the daedalus upgrade that only makes it do a singular hit no i have not beaten chronosno i will not elaborate further
>>721774028for me its aspect of morrigan sister blades and aspect of medea skulls
>>721774028Git gud with Medea Skull and Moros Torch anonThose 2 weapons are enough to carry you on any heat
>>721774427i press the left click button and i do 500 damage and if the enemy somehow lives i fucking die like a real man and i refuse to play any other way
>>721774127Morrigan is so fun since it has an inherent Heph boon but it falls off fast in +40% speed unless you have impeccable timing
>>721764862Is there a particular reason some of the designs are so ugly and have black skin? And why does it seem like there are different, clashing art styles at times?
>>721774427I feel dishonest using the skull.Don't even need to left-click, just dash dash dash with the special the moment you get a mana regen boon.
Do I have to do something to make the weapons click? I have three weapons, the staff, sickle, and torch things, and man I just don't think they're fun to play around with. I don't see how the gameplay is supposed to be better than 1's right now, but the extent of my game time is getting to the boss of the Fields.
I just beat Heckate first attempt, hell yes
>>721775197based did you dodge her hex?
hmmm
So is there any honest comparisons between this and the first game? I'm curious if the bullshit I grew to really hate was toned down or fixed in Hades 2.Way too much "PERFECT CHUD KILLER" and "WOKE TUMBLR SLOP" noise out there
>>721775527Sex
>>721765450little dress
>>721775527>Every goddess mogged by a shade
>>721775715You're going to have to be specific about what pissed you off because all anyone can say in a general sense is it's like 95% the same exact game
>>721775715what did you hate from the original?
>>721775715>I'm curious if the bullshit I grew to really hate was toned down or fixed in Hades 2.what bullshit did you hate
>>721775527N-
>>721768251Axe is either Charon or Thanatos if you're really goodKnife is Pan or the HiddenStaff is Momus but Hidden is very safe compared to nearly everything else even the other staves which are safer overallTorch is base formSkull is base or MedeaCoat is base or Hidden
>>721766862I don't get this comic. Does Aphrodite have a Moomin face in the last panel or are her arms crossed?
>>721776000aspect of moros is very good too for torches imo
>>721775937>>721775931>>721775941Having to climb each Heat individually to get the rewardsThe endless grind for butthole 1 and asshair 2 to give to NPCs to have story progression resumeEvery boon but the Hammer feeling way too samey and not actually affective gameplayWHY SO MUCH GRINDING
>>721776134yeah no they doubled down on grinding, but you have two paths now so its not as repetitive
>>721776184>yeah no they doubled down on grindingshan't be be getting my dick sucked by spider qts, what a shame
>>721776000>>721776092yeah I like moros torches best too
>>721774028Wait till this guy unlocks the Hidden aspect
I AM GONNA CLAW OUT YOUR EYES
typhon is so much easier than prometheus
>>721777795Yea. Fuck that nigger and his fucking eagle. If I beat him, I'm going all the way every time.
>>721777795expecting someone else?
>>721764862Oh, I didn't buy this game, I'm into women
Moros STILL refuses to give me the hidden torches. Is he bugged or something?
>>721778230you need a level 5 aspect for the weapon and then you just have to hope it triggers
>>721764862Secret aspects suck balls. Anubis is the worst weapon I've ever used.
Zeus is the most OP god, right? Chain lighting on attacks is broken as fuck with any weapon that has a fast attack, Jolt or whatever it's called is great damage that stacks with the chain lighting, and quickly gets degenerate as fuck if you have a good DoT on your cast so that it's procing as quickly as you apply it, and even his cast has pretty good upgrades.
Why was dusa undatable in 1 and can you date her in this one?
>>721778453zeus, aphro, hestia and apollo are the best from my experience
>>721778517VA was a man-hating tumblrcunt and refused to voice any lines with regards to romance except for turning down Zag.
>>721778659Headcanoning again, faggot?
>>721778546I don't understand the hype around Hestia. Linking stuff is funny, but it's only strong if you already have a good AoE and if you have a good AoE, you don't need spread damage, while linking is largely useless on most boss fights.
i hope we get an update in which the infernal arms are playable againi want to use them with mel's omega moves and all the new boons
>>721778363I've had torches at level 5 since before this update and I've done enough runs of it that I'm in the post game. He doesn't even have dialogue half the time I come back. Like I'd get it if he was still talking about other stuff, but he isn't.
is the rail in this one? i want a good, no bullshit ranged weapon>the torchesfeel fucking AWFUL, dinky, miniscule damage, slow as fuck, jank>the skullannoying gimmick piece of shit
>>721779081Knives special or Mecha special build, or even the staff special are all solid ranged attacks you can build around.
>>721778732Nevermind, I'm a retard, yea, Hestia is fucking great and Scorch not scaling at all with what's procing it is great, especially on Pan knives where you can land all of them on a single target and it's like an instant 350 burn
>>721765465>In general it's much easier than Hades 1.By default yes, but I think high fear surface runs are harder than anything in Hades 1.
>>721779081All weapons in this game have a combination of melee and ranged attacks. Nothing is pure melee, nothing is pure ranged
>I’m not your girl, old manI hate modern game devs so much it’s honestly impossible to believe
>>721774515Omega attack to teleport your way in, into attack, into special. Very fast and triggers the bonus.
I literally can't beat Chronos, he gets me every time
cerberus boss fight is a pain in the dick
>>721765603I found this old pic from 2005. These chick's worked at the top bar making 100k and free breast implants. This was the top 1%. Trannys ruined beauty standards.
The only reason I would buy this game is for Hypnos and he doesn’t even talk.
holy fuck vow of rivals polyphemus is a bitch
>>721764862What are some of your favorite boon and weapon combos? I got double attack speed boosts and the helios attack boon on the daggers and it melted Chronos in 90 seconds.
>>721781604Fire special + daggers is hilarious, even moreso if you get the hammer where the Omega move all go in a single line.
>>721781932>>721781604fire stacking is fun, the burn seems to be really good if you upgrade it a few times
>>721764862got to cerberus within like an hour, why does every weapon except teh starting one feel like shit?are there only 4 bosses like in the first hades?
>>721781190If a game character had a face that looked like some of these chicks, specially the one in the far right, you guys would be calling them manly trannies.
>>721782109theres two paths, 8 total bosses
>>721764862>roguelikes in 2025unless the title is roboquest, it's not worth it
>>721781604>>721781932>>721782020Fire attack + Anubis staff. But Hestia + stacking evasion is how I beat high fear in general. Hestia has that one boon where you get a dodge chance that increases against burning enemies. Then you use that weasel familiar that adds a dodge chance. Then it's a matter of getting Hermes' dodge, maybe Circe's, Apollo's debuff, Aphodite's dodge and maybe others I'm forgetting. You get to a point where half of the time nothing hits you.
>>721782121#2
Man Supergiant has not made a single bad game. Even Pyre was fun despite its flaws.I kinda of tuned out all info on this game during the early access but it really is just Hades but better.
>>721782262based robochad.Have you tried dead zone rogue?
>>721782201okay, getting to the third this early doesnt feel that bad then. was worried i was almost done
>>721782483not yet but i got it and voidbreaker in wishlist
>>721782262is there any way to get rid of those sound words?they're just too fuckin distracting
>>721782892
>>721783017and back onto my wishlist this game goesthanks
...i finally got into the series. unless i get the bow + the daedalus autoshot, I can't even get past theseus and the bull lmao. Those guys wreck me when I'm using normal weapons. shit sucks
>end up meeting Hades>barely any reaction from Melinoe despite the knowledge she grew up with
>>721783293melinoe has autism due to her upbringing, she doesnt open up until later
>Need seeds from Chaos >Go to Chaos twice >No seeds
I'm playing Sworn instead.
Buy is there yuri?
>If your game crashes you lose the entire runFuck you too
Getting the stupid Chaos prophecy took forever to trigger. I feel like it was the last option in the dialogue queue so ever other potential convo would happen before it
>>721783518I gotta say that releasing alongside fucking Hades II while being a Hades clone is a pretty chad move
>>721767168I mean no shit Zag is a rule breaker no wonder Chaos likes him way more
Where are the guns
>>721784590eris and the olympus enemies took them
>>721780334High fear is much easier to the bullshit that's the extreme pacts version of the characters. Which I think are much harder than Hades 1 counterparts.
>people are getting actually mad that Zag saves the day in the end instead of MeloLmao
>>721784590You get mecha arms and homing rockets instead
>>721764862Good. I'm about to unlock Aspects, I've done a lot of the meta progression otherwise, beat the Underworld a couple of times but still need to beat the Surface.
>>721764862Beat Chronos 8 hours inWhere are my bois Dinoysius and Ares?
>>721785912surface route
>>721769129Persephone is the goddess of seasons, not Demeter, that's agricultureNot only do they bastardise what the gods look like they can't even check shit like what they govern
does chronos's second phase just not let you use moon powers or something?
Justify this writing, I dare you.
>tfw speedrunning deaths on the surface world just to farm for one (1) more Bronze ore to unlock the weapon aspects before doing anything elseGotta say, it's a nice change of pace from playing the game normally in Underworld runs. This crafting system isn't half-bad
>>721786010When do I unlock that?
>>721786169looks fine to me. Maybe remove the she in the second sentence and just make The Nymph the subject
they add a new weapon since last year or something?i miss hades 1 weapons. pretty straightforward.this you got a flaming skull, some fuckin retarded pair of torches that feel like shit to usea spear/staff and shit daggersmakes me miss the shield and gun
>>721786139Skill issue
>get boon that restores magic on attacks>get weapon upgrade that lets attacks hit twice but uses up magic>super hex charging achievedNow if only I had picked any hex that can be spammed instead of the one that rezzes an enemy
>>721772586Nigas got lazy smoking all that refa.
DAMNED IF YOU DO OR YOU DON'TNOW WE'VE GOT YOU IN OUR TENTACLES
Going upstairs to Olympus is SO cool
>>721778363>>721778940you need level 5 in the aspect of melinoe and at least 1 level in the other two (buying them so they're equippable)
how do you think they'll handle ouranos and gaia?they moved hera, hestia and demeter over to hyperion's and theia's tree instead of chronos' and rheas', they moved aphrodite from being a cousin of chronos to being of hades' generation, and made persephone's father a normal farmhand instead of zeus, so the mother of all incestuous relationships should be interesting to handle
Not enough weapons and main bosses
>>721782262
>>721786169You have yet to see the worst. The ending is dogshit. they LITERALLY did an MCU ending with multiverses and shit :)
>>721781129You unironically stay close to him like a Souls boss anonHis close up attack is so telegraphed you can do a 2 non-Than Axe hits while he's attacking at base speed
Is ares cool in this? I like his voice.
>>721787249Objectively correct
>standard set of classic weapons>isometric worldview>macrogame with buyable upgrades, including those for dodgingmakes me wish hades was a proper hack-and-slash with aerial combos
>>721786357i felt the same but came around to liking each weapon to some degree after playing with them some moreskull is fun, treat the special like an extra dash, medea skull is best skull for allah ackbaring into everything and dealing a billion damageblack coat is punches, just go zeus and heph for free wintorches are great fun, go hera/poseidon and take the boons that add an extra thing to your omega attack and the duo boon that gives it a chance to trigger those twice and watch everything meltstaff and daggers are kinda meh though, i got through the testaments with those just bruteforcing the zeus/heph combo, although i haven't played around with the staff hidden aspect of anubis yet though
>>721787037I have all that. Have had all that for like 20 runs. No hidden aspect to be seen.
>>721787452screenshotting at the most random times reveals the true beauty of the game kek
>>721786357you unlock one more weapon category, which is shield+fists
>>721787714>the true beauty of the game kekit looks like shit to me
>>721786357All the weapons got a secret aspect that dramatically changes them. I also love every weapon we got except the skulls, and maybe the axe cause it's fun but very limiting.
>>721787249Yeah even with the altpath. Feels like I just fall into the same issues again.
How's this game compared to the first? Hype seems at an alltime low by comparison.
>>721779081The skull is the closest you'll get, it does have a deadalus hammer option to give it instant recall on ammo, giving it basically infinite shots except for a slight delay (like half a second) between firing the fourth of four shots and having all the ammo come back. And the rail's bombard attack that used to be on special is now just your omega for the normal attack, so you've got 90% of the gun there, except having to pick up the ammo like you would for the cast crystal in Hades 1.
>>721788105it's great, hades 1 was a 9/10 for me and this is probably somewhere about 9.2/10hype is low because they did the gay early access shit
>meet Zagreus again>immediately miss his charisma and jovial attitudeI'm sure Melinoe will grow on me eventually but still
>>721779081>>721788117Hidden aspect skull is basically the rail
>>721786169 It's supposed to be written by Odysseus who talks like this in the game. I think you're getting mad at nothing.
>>721779081The rail is in the game.
>>721788105honestly it being early access for like 1.5 years kinda ruined the surprises.
>>721788217 I actually prefer the early access shit since it was hades 1 at start and then they added more stuff to it. I can't imagine starting fresh at 1.0. There's a lot of stuff you'll miss out on like builds that get vaporized between patches.
>>721788658>builds that get vaporized between patches.I still miss OP pan daggers with poseidon special
Is there a shield bash build like the first game? Shit carried me hard.
>>721788713I miss the hephestus run build. They didn't have to completely obliterate it the way they did.
>>721788724Charge attack with Xinth, the mech suit, is basically the same thing.
Anyone else going from silksong comfy threads to this? what a downgrade...
>>721789453Silksong threads don't have to deal with mentally broken people screaming about woke and character designs left and right without even playing the game. At worst you guys have some weird coomers but at least some of them are likely to play the fucking game.
best girl coming through
>>721789453Bro what do you want us to do? It's a roguelike that already came out.
Can you romance Hercules?Please tell me you do
>>721789653She's had a rough life...
>>721789653>>721789809For me, it's Nem-chan
>>721784590*Yoink*
>>721789873The bath time CGs are so shit.That should have been the ones where they went all out.
>>721789873Is Mel always this hideous
>>721764862Why is this Action Roguelite that plays more like Diablo than any Rogue game called Roguelike? Binding of Isaac is also a Roguelite, action + metaprogression = roguelite when the goal is the purpose of "ENGINE BUILDING" and not clever resource management (health/stamina/money/levels/skills) throughout a procedural dungeon crawl in order to get to the boss and come back out with the loot. Why are these youtubers so hard trying to justify that Roguelike stands for a deck builder/engine builder when it never did? Balatro is a Solitaire Deck Builder, simple as. Randomized runs doth not make a roguelike. Sworn somehow understands this and is labelled correctly.
>>721790042the average person literally does not give a shit about the distinction and will call all games like these with random runs and meta progression roguelikes
>>721790042I call this genre coinslot games.Because they're essentially all an evolution of the humble arcade machine.
this is dISGUSTING
>89k peak launchfor safe horny slop kek
>>721790209>The Average Person.Is a mentally ill leftie because they didn't do any research prior taking a stance and took the one that was the most popular with popularity bias for their opinions. Even a fucking developer tries to shoehorn that genre to everything.>>721790310Not really, that would go to Metroidvania (started in arcades), Rhythm Games (Ditto), Beat Em Ups (No shit...), Fighters (Duh) and Shmups (Literally the arcade darling) style games. Gambling Simulators (for the average action roguelite) is a preferred term or a Lottery Game for the more Balatro styled Deck Builders.
>>721790404>chain lightning>air quality>hephaestus duo boon that lets chain lightning bounce between you and the enemy when no other enemies nearbytyphon doesn't stand a fucking chance
>>721789992She's never hideous, you porn-addicted retard.
>>721783197They're the big mid-game difficulty spike. It's part of the game's pacing that you die to them a few times and get upgrades
how doe the moon lady skills work?
>>721790740the poseidon wave on autos too bro, shit was NASTY
>>721790042It's not a roguelike, it's a roguelite.There's two different schools of thought on what's a roguelike: a game that is a shameful ripoff of the game rogue, and a game with RNG that essentially has no permanent save function and death means you have to start the game from scratch with no benefits towards future runs except the knowle4dge you gained from getting that far.Almost no games that come out nowadays are of either type of roguelike, they're almost always roguelites, where you make progress between runs but largely have to replay everything.
Saw a lot of people here saying how much inferior Melinoe was compared Zagreus but I honestly think she's super charming and cute in her own way.Sure she's not as charismatic nor as outspoken but she obviously isn't supposed to be in the first place.
How do you get rubbish? The bat cage is the last thing I need to buy that isn't hard story locked and at this point I have pummeled Typhon into dirt a thousand times so it's useless.I heard Eris drops it around your camp but I've never seen her at my camp.
Can someone please post one attractive character design from this game? I liked the art from Hades 1 (some shit spots here and there but oh well)All of these look like fucking crap so far in the thread
>>721790976She starts as a complete autist, but eventually lessens up. Obviously a big change from Zag who was a bit of playboy and well spoken, but I like Mel as well
post statsi only started playing a week before 1.0>>721791000there should be several on the floor whenever Eris shows up at the crossroads, and she drops another when you walk up to her

>>721790920> Shameful.Nothing shameful about using resources given to you by the developer to follow his footsteps and he even encouraged others to copy his game and make new ones based on its engine. It was literally the developer's intention for a roguelike to copy the formula. Its just wrong to call it a roguelike when it doesn't. Procedural Engine Builder is honestly the best term I've heard for these new school games that imply randomized runs and power ups.
>>721791101most of the 32 was done the patch before rivals got added so it was a massive pain since those are easy fear
>>721791019Hera's alright. Light hair, dark skin, big boobs.
>>721790861You get a new skill that charges up when you use magick. If you meet her again on the run, you can upgrade it
>>721791261You're going to have just as much luck trying to rename metroidvanias.
>>721791321I like her hat
>>721787867It's a roguelite. They're legally obligated to show you aFUCK load of info on screen.
>>721791371Metroidvanias don't need renaming.>Plays like metroid/castlavenia.>Back Tracking Action Exploration Games With Power Ups To Reach New Locations.It perfectly illustrates the point.
>>721791334I don't really get why they thought we wanted skilltrees with literal +1% nodes to manage per-run.I get that if you have a build that lets you spam them those are significant, but seeing a 1% on a skill tree triggers my fight-or-flight response personally.
>>721767157This. The only time they actively fuck with humans is if they either purposefully offend the gods or if they act like dicks to their fellow man.They've dragged pitiful humans out of a bad situation more times than they've punished them.
>>721791681Selene powers are broken as-is, make them require any less investment or give them bigger numbers and there would never be a situation where you don't spec into Selene and infinite mana in order to get bullshit like constant spammable invuln
>>721784590Skull hidden aspect is a gun.
>>721791786Only the bad ones like Titans were problems especially Kronos, basically same entities just older and driven out by Zeus and his siblings. Promotheus (Promeetheus in An.Greek) was the one that brought humanity enlightenment and upon that knowledge by stealing the flame and handing it to humanity who were mostly just recently crafted and were neglected as mere play things for the Gods essentially.

>>721764862Are the characters hot again?
I did itAll it took was not getting cursed by Eris
>>721792261congrats
Just started it, I have no idea what's going on, never played Hades or roguelikes in general. Died to the first boss, the woman from the start, I facetanked 3 abilities and died. How do I git gud?
So does Eris' curse only exist to prevent you from beating Chronos ASAP or she can appear in later underworld runs? Cause that mechanic could be fun when you have stuff unlocked or on higher heat.
>reach chronos>has a phase 2>deals 900 damage on his first attacky-y-you too
>>721792482why did you start with Hades 2 and not Hades 1?Hades 1 was on a big sale until a day or two agothe devs say 2 is "standalone" but imo a good chunk of hades 2 both gameplay-wise and story-wise assumes you played hades 1
>>721792482Hades in general has an S-shaped difficulty curve. Just do more runs, unlock new weapons, upgrade cards and keepsakes until you can no diff the boss. Then after you beat the game you can make it harder.
>>721792583serves you right for not standing in the big obvious "dont instakill me" circle
What are the biggest improvements that are immediately noticeable in this one compared to Hades 1?
>>721792835there arent really any massive improvements, its just more hades 1 but different, gnomesayin
>>721764862Can someone spoil me this shit? I will never play it, probably.I just want to know what happened to the protaognist of the first game in thsi one, does he appears at the end?
>>721792835the 3d models vs sprite animation thing of the first. The game looks much clearer
>>721792973Zag gets trapped in stasis with the rest of the House of Hades. As you clear runs you contact him back in time (before stasis) via the mirror of night to instruct him to find and kill Chronos before shit hits the fan. Zag decides to instead make friends and they live happily ever after though time memory shenanigans. Post game he shows up as the hidden boss and you fight him in the Elysium boss arena

>>721793786actual skill issueplay more, hammers are just as powerful as they were in 1
>>721764862Just got to the resolution of the Arachne storyline. Very happy that the mythical spat is still canon, there was no forgiveness copout, and she just tells Athena to fuck off because she'd rather eat flies than apologise while Meli remains completely oblivious about how deep that grudge runs>>721765843Her statue on Olympus looks better.

whats the best right click boon to build around?
>>721794218Skill issue.
>>721794630i play on controller, i assume right click means special?depends on the weapon but in general i like to put either zeus or hephaestus on specialproc blitz with whatever you have going on with your normal attack, or just stick blast on it for occasional free nuke
>>721794750nah i mean X/normal lol oops
>>721764862I don't support woke games
>>721794768in that casezeus/hera/hephaestus for anything with fast attack speed (no attack boon needed even, chain lightning is busted if you get the zeus/heph duo boon)for slower stuff like the axe, apollo or aphrodite depending on your playstylehonourable mention to hestia/demeter/poseidon combo on the supay torches
They released II too soon, I'm still worn out from 100% the first one.
>>721794736>lim and orosyou didn't beat the game, btw

>>721764862
Reached Cronos once. Got to (what i assume is) the end of his first health bar before dying.Enjoying it so far, but the daggers are the only weapon i particularly like out of what I've unlocked
>>721796431I thought in the blood was overratedOut of Darren Korb's vast work for Supergiant, i dint think that deser es to be at the top of his streaming profile
my wife
>>721796281Hecate is melinoe who had no mentor figure so she taught herself after her familiy was taken by chronos and when fought him with subconcious magicks didnt end up defeating time but instead got reset to the beginning of time. So she trained and waited eons until the events of the game, got close to hades family and thus got baby meli when chronos happened and then trained her for the events of the game. Its all part of her epilogue bond scene where she takes off the mask and you see her eyes and she explains everything
Getting close to dropping it. Done about 25 runs and it's all incredibly boring.
>>721796621i'm a scyllafag but god Artemis is so good

Are these two baits? Even with Excellence I still get common ones frequently and I have a feeling getting duo chance is already pretty high if you meet the requirements so The Queen is useless
>>721797104bitch nigger behaviour
>>721797151Queen is no bait, duos appear even more often.Excellence is complete trash and always was.
can she ATLEAST romance her brother? thats the only thing saving this game
>>721765789Selene’s keepsake is paramount to me. Hexes start weak but the upgrades turn almost all of them absolutely insane, so equipping it in Oceanus/The Rift can make your life so much easier.Also Narcissus’ phial can help to vastly buff a boon if you’ve got one sitting at normal, while also helping you recover if you got the shit kicked out of you by the preceding boss.
>>721782262I'm tired of roguelites too (although I probably make an exception for Mewgenics) but this looks different and, dare I say it, fun.Does it have a lot of content?
>>721776000>If you're really goodWut? Spamming the Charon axe special is the braindead way of playing this game.

>>721797629>cum all over enemy with your zeus attack boon>hold special to dash around while collecting your skulls>repeatas shrimple as that
>>721796838Yeah. I've done a couple tries upstairs but obviously I die quickly.Yes, I'm collecting everything, doing upgrades. I can easily get past the first stage and got to Cerebus a couple times in a row but it's been about 10 runs since and I haven't got near him again and keep dying to the band girls (which have included a couple examples of getting killed by seemingly nothing right when I'm about to finish them off). I just got killed by some vampire cunt in the 3rd stage I've never seen before.I still haven't got the weapon aspects, I'm going to try upstairs a few more times and hopefully get some bronze, unlock the aspects and see how it goes.
the torch rework is pretty alright. didn't like it before the 1.0 update, though I only ever really see me doing a special attack build with them
>>721797582>disliking staffskill issue
uh guys, I dont remember hell looking quite like this. and whyd I get shorter?
>>721797898i loved this, build variety was dogshit tho
>>721797215so I'm guessing Queen is additive while Excellence is multiplicative, they really need to clarify that
>>721764862I hate nemesis, she's a bitch, Eris too, meg was tooWhere did Nyx went wrong?
>>721797839nta but I like the staff for cast builds now but I really miss the old special shots. maybe I'll do an omega special build with and see how I like it but I miss spamming orbs with the double shot hammer
the eris hatefuck route...
should i pirate this game? /ourgirl/ already has it uploaded
>>721797835With the Sirens it’s always best to nuke the drummer first, since the other two are pretty easy to dodge.If you don’t have the damage to kill her quickly, alternate between hitting her and running to the far side to bait the other two back and give you breathing room to keep hitting the drummer.
>>721797241I love the hex that polymorphs shit. Did an omega cast build with that as my hex and got the node that summons morphed enemies into my casts, mobbing in regular encounters was never easier. if you get real lucky you can get a node that lets you damage bosses with it too
>>721798008yeah go for it, if you liked the first you will get a lot of hours out of this
>>7217979541,0 released recently. some more stuff in there so maybe more variety with some rebalancing. idk just trying it out again
Someone please post the protag's feet so I can decide if I buy the game or not.

i hate the omega attacksi hate the hex stuffi hate the cast i hate dodge castsi dont like this game at all honestly
>>721797241For me it's Icarus' hammer. There are ways to increase the mana bar and boons, but sometimes having another weapon upgrade can maximise your damage output.
>>721798758Come on man, The Odyssey was THE entry level greek myth long before Epic: The Musical. It's practically a white man's classic.>>721799727I'm still weirded out by how Medea is the only one who truly leans into the "I'm an evil witch, mwahahaha" aesthetic.
If they did anime waifus this would sell millions.Man, why is the art so disgusting
Listen, make all the gods niggers if you want, but this right there is kinda disrespectful

>>721800380why do you need to have porn in everything you consume?
>>721800719If i got to look at something i rather it be sexy.
>>721801183get help
>>721800380As someone else said, Hades 2 makes the most sense as an otome game. The majority of men you interact with are both conventionally attractive and supportive, while women are drawn in such a way as to be less of a sexual rival to Meli. Exceptions like Artemis are either drawn more cutesy than in 1 so as to tone down any possible sex appeal, or in Eris/Hera's case made into Type A personality sorts who are Meli's rival and the other questionable ally authority figure respectively.
i can't get past vow of rivals polyphemus without losing at least 1 death defiance. getting filtered
>>721801417Ten runs in, the only time Mel had shown a tiny bit of her personal agenda is when she was asking where she can meet Moros again lmaoThis is really an otome game
Damn, didn't like the axe but the aspects are very fucking goodProbably the best ones in the game next to the torch and skull
im sorry i cant get past the tranny artits too much
What is your favorite Scylla and the Sirens track? their early work with coral crown was obviously quite influential and innovative, but IMO they didn't really come into their own until they explored their more emotional side with Bewitching Eyes
>>721764862That's probably the ugliest depiction of Aphrodite I've ever seen.
The girl is hot but I didn't like Hades 1
>>721802487oh yeah, you have a dog bateman?
>>721764862are the actual levels in 2 better than 1? Because the gimmicks of the various floors in 1 after the first floor were kind of obnoxious.
>>721802164>Ten runs inKek, just wait until you see all the men fawning over her for existing. >>721802042If you see Medea pop up somewhere, RUN to the other side of the screen. Otherwise, always be heading in the other direction as Polyphemus and spam attacks in his direction. Memorise where the cure fountains are. Dodgespam but not blindly or you'll get poisoned, use the directions mentioned above.It's doable with the right boons. I'm a fairly careless player and I can reliably make it past him. Although I will say having taken off Vow of Rivals to get through the story faster, I'd forgotten how much of a bullet sponge it turns everyone into. Clearly Guardians feels like it takes way less time.
>>721802487Personally I'd say Bewitching Eyes is more a return to their Song of the Deep roots.I respect them branching out with rock and a hard place, but eyes shows they're still firmly aware of their soul and centre
>>721802487Honestly I think they peaked with I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes And Drown You To Death). Bewitching Eyes is a bold, experimental track but it lacks a certain...sincerity.
>>721802693>>721802642>>721802552>>721802487
>>721800719The devs clearly want to have a game with sexy characters but they feel compelled to use atrocious tumblr art that no one enjoys.
>>721801417Yeah, this game is designed to appeal to females who don't actually play video games but post about it on social media. The first game had it too, but it came about more organically, after the game was already a success. The people who like and consume otome media generally aren't the type to play moderately difficult roguelites that require a degree of video game ability.
>>721803029thats what god mode is for
>>721767728*crickets*grim
>>721767728this question has already been answered a bunch in this thread, but its more of the same but with much more content. i'd say the boons are much more balanced than the first game where you'd be forcing athena dash as much as possible
>>721803074Even with that. There are a lot of people who are absolutely inept with a controller. If you didn't grow up playing video games or grew up playing mobile games, you just don't have that skillset and will get frustrated from losing constantly or won't even try for fear of failure.
Which testaments are the "easiest" to ramp up?
I'm still missing one keepsake in the "post-game". I guess I need to fulfill the prophecy related to maxing out all the NPC affinity before it becomes available, yeah? It better be who I think it is, too.Might also be related to doing all Vow of Rivals fights. I just have the final boss of the second route left because I haven't done that many runs of the route in the post-game.
>>721804135i find the +hp -gold ones to be the easiest

guess I was wrongyou unlock quite a bit more boons when you're done/during surface + new weapons and upgradesthe gloves are pretty sweet also fantastic you get the new boons during underground as well
So when I beat chronos first time is that game over or is there some kind of true ending goal like hades 1 where you have to beat it like 20 times?
>>721805106oh there is much more, including a second route
>>721804958You can be gay with two characters. You can be straight with two characters. What feels awkward is that all this characters will get explicitly romantic conversations as you max them out, with the opportunity to deny sex with them coming afterward.
>>721805131Oh ok that's good. I'm a first time player who wad struggling with the sirens and then I unlocked the torches and with some good boons I managed to beat them and blitz my way to chronos by night 7. Was worried I nearly finished it
Is there any good keepsake I'm missing?Because honestly I just use coin purse -> Bones -> Eye
>>721800452Seriously. Is there a reason he's just a lazy reskin of Zagreus?

What kinda moron goes "I haven't had enough of Hades, I want a lazy reskin?" Do you also "play" gacha, mayhaps?
>>721804773Personally I think it's low tier. Dark Side, Phase and Howl can avoid damage, Ray and Eclipse can turn into massive nukes when built upon, Curse and Bloom both make ordinary rooms easier and Shine can combo with other damage boosts.I mostly found Water to be useful when I was running Aphrodite builds and wanted to keep above the threshold
>>721805786I'm not going to buy it from an illegal market like a nigger.
>>721805817The modern audience, it's finally there. It's doing numbers on steam.
>>721805817>hades 2 >lazy reskin Retard
>>721805813Character interactions. There are prophecies that require you to level up affection with every character. In Hades 1, there was a true ending unlocked by maxing everyone out.
>>721786104>Persephone is the goddess of seasonseh if yo want to be pedantic this is only something people interpret out of the homeric hymn and its not very explicit you don't see it much until later Hellenistic and roman writing. in the archaic and classical is seems her rape and female initiation are more important. maybe you can argue Eleusis shows evidence of her having some agricultural significance. but even the hymns time frame has her abducted in spring not fall so there's argument to be made against it. but lets be honest the series two main characters are only from orphic / Bacchic sources while other orphic elements are glossed over or only joked at like in the first game. I don't know how you would even make an "accurate" orphic game though considering no one agrees on anything and you have shit like the deveryni papayrus.
>>721764862gonna be honest, i hate the mourning fields. moros should breed melinoe though
>>721764862>peak californian artshan't
>>721805862Start arguing any time
>>721804773I agree for different reasons. Like the other anon said, one day you will learn the attack patterns as well as your favourite tarot/trinket combo, and after that healing will be unnecessary unless you have an extremely shit run of luck or sabotaged yourself to unlock someone's side story with a specific trinket. Yes, even the seemingly unfair ones like Chronos/Typhon and their rival modes can be cracked. It's just Touhou for white people. HOWEVER, Moon Water is broken because if you upgrade it early on, it's free money. Piles and piles of free money you can just keep giving yourself to buy other boons. If you're lucky it restocks even more at fountains. More Moon Water=more money=more boons. It's a simple equation
>>721805986You should start since you made the assertion. "Hades 2 is a lazy reskin" and "You are a retard" are on the same level of argument.
>>721806187OK retard
>>721806187Can't refute facts, so there goes the argument.
>Icarus and Meli start talking about love and immortality>Meli trots out the old chestnut "There are different kinds of love" and gods having a different sense of relationship lifespans to mortals>Icarus: "But what if I only love you?">Meli says that's really sweet but also that he has literally eternity to go find more fuckbuddies as well as herThat's...that's about as well as that could've gone in a game that lets you fuck everyone, I suppose.
>>721806221See? There's no real reason to start arguing. The argument is already done. Everyone engaging with it is retarded.
The ending was a disappointment, ngl. Zagreus is a retard and Chronos' character change was waaay too sudden. The cut to him playing hide and seek felt ominous/disorienting more than anything becouse of that. Why would Hades permit him into the House?."You'll be under my protection" - yeah, sure. Zagreus' word carries a lot of weight as we've seen in H1. It's not like everyone thought of him as childish moron and gave him a bullshit job at the end to keep him occupied. This "new" Chronos' writing in later scenes becomes way worse than it is pre face turn. It felt like they wrote themselves into a corner by having the objective of a roguelike game to be a permanent slaying of the main villain. Just have this alternate Chronos be there from the beginning, working with the Crossroads gang to stop his evil "variant"/possibility/past self to avoid this whiplash. You could even reveal him only after your first boss encounter with Chronos for dramatic effect.Plus, I never knew you could have so many boons they don't fit in a single tab.
sex with moros
>>721807179I'm conflicted about it. On the one hand everything you said is right. On the other hand, after /v/ complaining about Zagreus being disrespected and outshone by Meli lorewise for so long, it is extremely funny to me that Zag accidentally unlocked the "pacifist" route by being a based retard and trying talk no jutsu on someone it shouldn't have worked on.It's like just talking to people is Zagreus' real god power or something.
>>721804895How does that work?

>>721764862>called hades>zero actual cool greek male gods or heroes>just a bunch of girlbosses and weak faggy man of various brown skin colorsno thanks
>>721808636you're a manchild. go back to your diet of purely steak eggs and milk and complain about woke somewhere that isn't here
>>721783701It's still unfinished and full of bugs. 1.0 release didn't add any new content just rebalanced a couple things. Dev gave up and sent it out to die.
>>721809051Go back to your diet of bugs and onions lol
oh baby
>>721811256how big is the magic strapon she fucks melinoe with
>>721811425>implying the Witch of the Crossroads wouldn't conjure up a real dick
The Moon girl feels.....bad? How I'm supposed to use it well? Why would I pick a spell that I can used in a specific time when I can just go for a normal god that helps me always
>>721811603You mean Selene? She's supposed to compliment your build, not define it. I'm a big fan of her healing hex. It's really strong.
>>721811603because that spell is extremely fucking strong and the condition is just "spend mana" which you should be doing anyway
Vow of Rivals Typhon is such bullshit holy fuck
>>721811603i've found the healing one works nicely for boss fights, and same with the witch time one. you need to get a lot of the passive upgrades to make the majority of it work out though
>>721811704At least Rivals Chronos gives you a big map to run around, Rivals Typhon is just a prolonged demand to dodgespam or die.
Is there any good weapon aspect from the other weapons that would work for me who doesn't want to click a billion times and just wants to hold m1 like the dual wield torches? It's already annoying enough having to constantly jump around and do casts and then hexes when I have them (I really can't be fucked also using specials), I don't want to fuck about having to recover skulls or the slow ass axe attacks for example. I've got to Cronus a few times, second form once (and he instantly blasted me a second after the phase began), went upstairs and got to Eris and almost got her before her stupid back to the wall shotgun blast killed me even though I was behind her. It only took me 15 runs to beat Hades 1 and I'm well past that already and I'm getting bored.>tfw I can't fuck eris in the bathnot fair I thought this was a queer game for lezzies
is aspect of supay total garbage or am i just bad
>>721812045try aspect of medea skulls. your attack makes the skulls attach to you and they detonate on special use
>>721811994Yep, with Chronos i beat it on the first try (I must have had an OP build because the second time around I died) but it still felt fair. The surface boss just has way too much clutter and gives me the feeling I should just force a dodge%/tanky build
>>721811603Hexes are the most heavily dependent on being built upon boons in the game, but when you do manage it they become stupidly good.
>really want wool for crafting>keep trying to force finding some on the surface before I learn to breathe there
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE HIDDEN SKULL ASPECTI heard medea has the phrase but I've been to her half a dozen times and she doesn't give me shit
>>721811603Lunar Ray is outright broken anonIt's worth it to get Selene just for a chance of a Full/Half Moon Lunar RayLunar Ray with the Triple Beam and the 500 initial damage upgrades melts bosses in seconds
>>721812704I still don't have skull or axe
>>721812064You are bad.Try scorch/blitz on special.Or Hestia sprint.To be fair it was nerfed like 5 times since it was introduced.
Chaos or Daedalus for better Axe attacks?
>>721812789i can never bring myself to pass up daedalus
>>721764862Didn't this game release way earlier? Why are there suddenly threads about it again?
>>721812836true. 1, or 3? I'm doing Apollo attacks for enormous AoE.
>>721812789Hammer will show up later, Chaos lets you skip a room and have a chance to get something useful.
>>721812789Can't go wrong with the hammer if you're using the Axe
so poseidon is S tier right? nothing else even comes close
>>721811256holy sex
>>721813074Wrong.Zeus is much better overall.
>>721813074I avoided him out of habit because he sucked in Hades 1, but after reading his boons more closely she's fantastic on fast weapons. Zeus is the trash god now.
>>721813074It's a lot more variable in 2.Zeusmaxing is a good standby no matter what weapon you've got, though.
summoned one of my 3 wives
Bros how the fuck do I beat Typhon, I'm getting filtered.
>>721813429Keep in mind that he's deceptively slow and don't get greedy. He's also very weak to upgraded moon beam if you drop it on his face
>>721813429Dash down when he starts chin attack.Dash toward tongue, not from it.Run away when he casts cyclones.Get some HP/dodge chance.That is about it.
first ever run with skull and first winis that weapon broken or what?time to check the surface I guess...
>Eris shows up after the sirens instead of after CerberusNice, as if the victory cockblock wasn't enough, now I'm not even allowed to get to Chronos for some practice and get more used to the patterns.How does the Centaur card works? Do I get extra HP every 5 encounters or does the awakening happen 1 tier at a time, 5 enc. = grasp 1 cards, 10 enc. = grasp 2 cards...?
>>721764862cucked DEI shit since Hades 1, studio used to be good but now they probably have a dedicated 5-man (heh) diversity & sensitivity team
>>721802487Bewitching Eyes reminds me too much of Show Must Go On, and even somehow a little bit of Dream On for some reason. Scylla used to be more original, this style doesn't fit her. She already had slower songs like Song of the Deep and those somehow fit better.
>>721764862I'm on night 21 now and have beaten Chronos twice but I haven't beaten the "overworld" big bad yet since I always die while climbing Olympus but I have a question that I want answered with as little spoilers as possible.The game seems to be hinting at Zag being "playable" in some way once you beat the game entirely, is it just a ruse or is he actually playable in some way? Would be cool if they just ported all of his weapons into Hades 2 to give the game more content, especially since I miss some of the weapons from the first game.
>>721813878Wtf? I thought she just cursed you the first time you got to the fields since that was my experience with her, but looking it up from your comment she can show up after any boss during your first 10 runs. Guess I got lucky that I only saw her once, and on my very first run at that.
I'm having way more trouble beating Chronos for the first time than I did with Hades
Where's the Scylla porn?
Give me your most obvious Weapon/Boons combos, I cant identify anything good.
>>721814802Skissue
>>721812704She gave me the phrase and I have a skull at level 5 and still can't get it. I think it's bugged
>>721815454zeus blitz with lim and oros
>>721814802It took me roughly the same amount of tries, somewhere around less than 10 for both.
>>721815454Sister Blades+Poseidon attackAxe+Apollo attackTorches+Hestia mana regen
>>721808502Since most God quarrels are based on miscommunication and people just being violent vindictive retards, properly talking could be considered a divine power.
holy shit
>>721815454At some point you unlock a chaos thing with pre-made runs with fixed setups. Those are good for giving you build ideas.
>>721815454Black Coat + Hestia Special Scorch
If your favorite character is one of these 2 you are based.
>>721815768
>>721815768I'll never forgive them for dangling my favourite weapons in front of me, beyond my grasp.
>>721804791The fat black woman with vitiligo is what's stopping me from getting this game lmao.
>>721815768I like Nemesis.
>>721814802Chronos absolutely shits out damage if you stay too close to him, that’s probably why.
>5 tries (counting eris curse) to kill chronos>2 for surface, died on my first run and I'm sure the final faggot boss was within 10% life leftMelee is way too punishing compared to ranged
>>721816124Always is, yet I still want to play the melee anyway. What is wrong with us?
>>721815454Black coat with Hestia normal, Zeus special and either for the cast.Get the hammer upgrade that does triple rush attacks and the 25% chance to launch a special on attack if you can, then aim for the Duo boon
>>721765450how long are these games if you manage to beat them in first try?
I hate how mockingly homosexual that entire franchise looks
>>721815768Neither of them look at me with bewitching eyes
>>721783076>wishlistJust pirate it, you fucking permavirgin. The game hardly goes on sale.
>>721816348If you got a super OP build and got the right set of upgrades/cards/base you could probably beat the final boss inside 10 hours.However you're more likely to fail like a bitch and take twice as long at least.
>>721764862Hades I gave me carpal tunnel. Is 2 any better in terms of mashing?
>>721815846she needs big tits and horns
>>721811256>>721811425>>721811476Well now I need to see Hecate futa x Lolinoe art and it'll never exist because it's so niche.
>>721798148Been playing since 1.0 and naaah build variety is still about the same. There's a handful of guns that are good and can kill things, and every other weapon you get is a downgrade that clogs your level ups with useless shit. The game also has lots of performance issues and bugs. I'd say give it another couple years when things might be fixed or they make it more fun and interesting.
>>721816661way less dash spam in 2
>>721807179Yeah it's a shit ending. The writers are not only mediocre at best but they're also forcing themselves into a direction: make every character silly and/or friendly and nice. Which is funny because they constantly mention how bad the family is supposed to be but that's all tell and zero show.Along with so much missed opportunities and potential with stuff like more dialogue with bosses (which is also ironic as that's supposed to be something the devs pride themselves with) like Scylla for example it may vary but every single goddamn time they say the same thing in different words>oh there she is the lady who wants to ruin us>um not really also stop drowning people>screw you our music is greatalso more interesting dialogue with characters in the crossroads, shit romance options, the weapons and their alternate mods are extremely meh save for a couple exceptions, Dora's storyline ended flaccidly.Damn I didn't think this game was lacking in so much now that I'm thinking about it. I can't give it more than a 6.5/10>>721808502Neat idea yes but terrible execution
>>721815768Nem sucks, Eris is great, but my favourite are Charon and Heracles.
>>721815454Medea skulls with zeus on special. Assuming you are on controller you roll your thumb over attack and special to attack/move around (you rarely will dash). It's been completely busted forever and genuially shocking it wasnt nerfed at release. It's the speedrun king AND had a max fear run in EA (that abused a bug where the damage boost was wrongly applying to casts)
>>721801417>an otome gameNobody knows what the fuck you're talking about
>>721816823Have to agree with you about everything being too silly/friendly. Hades 1 ended with everyone getting along but the danger of Zeus flipping his shit to save face was something multiple characters acknowledged as a very real possibility. Here it's more blatantly a case of like...why doesn't Meli IMMEDIATELY use the incantation to get rid of Scylla? She's literally done nothing to warrant mercy. >>721816938The two previous posts disagree.
>>721816938You're not the center of the world tourist. Just because you don't know what that means doesn't mean others don't, especially not "nobody"
>>721764862Troon game
>>721815846
>>721817056>thread hits post cap>t-troon game! heh, gottemWell done, champ. Go have yourself a pop tart.
>>721816403You clearly aren't familiar with Greek mythology or culture.
>>721817029>especially not "nobody"Bro things he's Kojima
>>721816669hello...>>721817107
>>721817146kek yeah this happens all the time in my threads. I've been the anon making most of the bump-limit hades threads and I started all the comfy silksong threads that I had my bro on discord takeover until I got bored. I've got thoudsands of (You)s and hundreds of successful threads to show I know what I'm doing, and the one common link is that when the thread is almost over, newfags will get seriously jealous and start posting "tranny" or "dilate". It's all for naught though, I already won kek
>>721817107Much as I hate peoples' autistic redesigns, the big tits actually don't look bad on her.
>>721817425Eris giving herself big tits to make everyone else jealous is certainly within character

did a chaos trial and I had 1000 life + 600 magickis that supposed to happen because monsters did standard damage of like 3-5 per hit
someone make a new thread when this is done
>>721817621Your donation is appreciated.
if eris got dick she would become normal
>>721816706Just pay someone

Here's your hag bros lol
>>721817621>>721817330This is acceptable.
