We must be better hadeses
she fucks her brother btw
>>722152086Hot! I will now play her game.
>>722152086>[huge news for locktober adherents]
>>722152025every "artist" that takes a perfectly fine body and turns it into this nigger filth should be shot
>>722152025I've haven't heard anything about this game since it came out. It's shit, right?
>>722152245Hello homosexual.
>>722152025I want to touch her left palm joints but her game is pozzed shit and worse than the first game even though I also would the fit chick
>>722152368Medicore, basically a worse Hades 1.
>/v/ finally realized they're too old to enjoy hard games
>>722152025made to be spitroasted by moros, heracles AND prometheus
I hear people saying that the double cast staff is OP but I can't see it manIt's too cluncky actually having to hit the boss with the 2. What's the game plan with it? Use it and just spam the charged X or something?
>>722153000>heraclesb-but he's her cousin...
>>722152025I really don't get it why she walks around with her ass and vulva showing in the actual artwork
>>722153178Gods were kinky like that, read more mythology. (They regularly fucked blood related gods, animals and humans in animal form... Don't ask why.)
>>722153170You don't really have to try and always land both casts, cast builds are already very strong and even just sometimes getting them doubled is amazing. Plus the beam does good DPS on top of that.Basically just prioritize cast boons, drop your omegas and then either just run around or mash your attacks since they'll be super boosted by Furies and Huntress arcana even without boons, all the better if you can get different curses on them than your cast for Origination as well.
>>722153178Amerifats and chinese will never learn.
>>722153170Maybe take a cast that actually deals damage like Zeus or Hestia.
>>722152086She is a goddess in an old pantheon. Just be happy she isn't egyptian, those gods were fucking their siblings and parents all over the place.
Is there something I need to do to unlock Circe? 37 hours in and I've never seen her. I only know she's in the game by these threads.
>>722152368>>722152468That's a lie, mechanically speaking it's a clear improvement over Hades 1. Now, we can discuss the characters and plot, but it's literally the same combat, but rebalanced and with some new mechanics.
>>722153692Only gods (and later royalty) are allowed sister and cousin fucking.
>>722153751Hades gameplay is hardly anything to write home about in either game, but sure.
>>722153717RNG baby. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't. You are not missing much, her boons are pretty mediocre save for the one that gives you extra HP and damage.
>>722153751Mechanically speaking both are shit skinner box games for smooth brains where a second monitor is required for you to not doze off. So yea that only leaves the story and men > women so Hades 2 is trash.
>>722153836This isn't sometimes I get it though, I've done plenty of runs in 37 hours and somehow haven't seen this area
>>722153906I'm at 34 hours and have only seen any of the fountain rooms once, it just be like that
>>722152086now thats how you sell a game
>>722152025go woke go.. best seller?
>>722154516was always the case tbqh
>>722153247Why wouldnt she?
>>722154698melinoe needs to be hairier
>>722153561>criminal offenseHow the fuck can it be a criminal offense? Will you get thrown in jail if you file a marriage certificate?
Does she wear underwear? Or just freeballs it?
Why are they brown?
>>722155289because that's what they look like? why be so autistic about it
>>722155289devs defend it with "they are gods of ALL of the world in our universe" but true answer is that they are woke faggots
>>722152368the game actually came out like over a year ago, that's why people are not talking about it.
Cool tranny art.
>>722155059Would
>>722155531That atleast fits with Madea looking Chinese or Korean if you're specific buts pretty shit. When Hera shows up and she's dark as fuck i laughed
>>722155289have you ever been to greece anon? if you think people there are white and blonde I think you might be thinking of norway or sweden.
>>722155667Hera is the only one that's "anime" black, like that samurai girl from No More Heroes 2
>>722152453It's not pozzed at all
>>722153692Damn, they should make sequel about that instead.
>finding the fates is an RNGfestUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGHH
>>722152368Gameplay is fine, more content but more grind Designs are self evident Narrative/writing is kind of shit and worse than 1
>>722152086>she is greekWow!
>>722155805fuck, really? i just recently finished the game, i thought it would be another thing where you just keep beating chronos / the overworld a couple times and it'd progress like a normal story beat. that sucks lol
>>722155717they might be swarthy but that doesn't mean they have literal sub-saharan negro skin, dude
Mr. Advertiser, rest assured! It's all woke so the masses will like it!
>>722152086Some of Zeus's most famous partners and their children include: Hera: His sister and final wife, she was the queen of the gods. Their children were Ares (god of war), Hephaestus (god of the forge), Hebe (goddess of youth), and Eileithyia (goddess of childbirth). Metis: A Titaness and his first wife. He swallowed her when she was pregnant, and their daughter, Athena (goddess of wisdom and war), was later born from his head. Leto: A Titaness who gave birth to the twin archers Apollo and Artemis. Demeter: His sister and the goddess of agriculture. Their daughter was Persephone, who later became queen of the Underworld. Semele: A mortal princess of Thebes and the mother of Dionysus (god of wine). Maia: A nymph who gave birth to the messenger god Hermes. Alcmene: A mortal woman and the mother of the hero Heracles. Leda: A queen of Sparta who, after Zeus visited her as a swan, gave birth to Helen of Troy and the twins Castor and Pollux.
So is Nyx still the biggest?
>>722152086Realistically they should. I find it funny that the devs nitpick through the most obscure shit to justify making the gods black, disabled and gay yet when the fact that the goes were also incestuous comes up they suddenly become bastions of morality.
>>722156074Melinoë's thighs saves lives
>>722155968>His sister and final wifeAs it should be.
>>722156074well, melinoe is her own mother
>>722156246Persephone is her mother. Hecate was her adoptive mother.
>>722152503Tbh outside the very start of the game where you're literally punished for doing well and pushing for high heat runs, the game is really, really easy.
>>722154698dude you can't post this here
>>722152086and the family dog
>>722155531If it’s woke why is Hypnos asleep?
>>722152025she is legitimately extremely hot
>>722153561What is this retarded map? Most countries in EU bans that shit.
>>722155758I know greeks can appear to be darkies, but that's just tanning - they aren't ethiopians and most definetely not west africans. Also there were no mongoloids around ecumene up until the fall of Rome with the huns
Gameplay is better: More stages, boons, abilities, pacts, variations to enemies and bosses etc.Story is worse: 1's story felt much more like an interconnected family drama to unravel with everyone having different motivations. This one, everyone's motivation is "beat Chronos".
>>722156939(((mesopotamian tribes))) silenced him because he was telling the truth
rivals eris is easier than regular eris
>>722152245I am all thighs and ass man, but this anon is right: the criminal absence of thigh gap for this character (sold me the game btw) on OPpic must be studied and the author be detained in taste jail
>>722155717Ancient Greece hadn't been raped by seljuks or arabs yet. They didn't look the way they do today at all.This is like you pointing at a street shitter in england and saying the druids were brown
>>722154516>best sellerlol veilguard was a best seller for a while too
>>722155717The ancient greeks were blonde and blue eyed
>>722158004made by EA, the indie dev
>>722158074Greeks and romans dyed their hair with urine.
>>722152025She is a greek goddess, it would be more surprising if she didn't fuck her brother. They tried their hardest to change relations within the gods to remove incest as much as they could because they are cowards but most of them still remain cousins
>>722158509Cousin fucking is fine all over the world, as established by that one map in the thread.
>>722152025what's with 90% of boons being either situational at best or almost completely useless?
>>722158509I was going to say that Hades was the chillest and least degenerate of the Olympians so he might have raised her better, but then I remember that he wasn't around in the game.
Breeding hag godesses.
>>722158738Yes but the devs are mutts with american sensibilities. The fact that despite all their efforts trying to remove incest from the greek pantheon, they were forced to leave in cousin fucking and hope nobody notice is quite telling.
>>722158796What? Most of them are pretty useful or functional. Boring maybe, but I can't recall a single truly useless boon unless you do something like get a boon that amplifies another boon you have and then you swap it or sell it later, making the amplifying boon useless.
>>722159001Hades fucks his double niece in the actual myth. Persephone is his nice by both Zeus and Demeter. The "Persephone's father was a random mortal" cope the game goes with is to avoid having to talk about this.
I never know what to get.First turn for me is AthenaThen I pick the Echo one but it doesn't help that muchThen if it's between Medea or nemesis's ones
I based Nyx in the game and is she still the most well endowed in the game?
Mel is cool, it's a shame I really dislike most of the characters in her game and that the artstyle went way harder into Tumblr bullshit and less into western anime like the first game did. Not even just the woke stuff, but just the way characters are drawn their noses, etc
>>722159327I don't know how you've avoided almost all of the god keepsakes but those are useful for tailoring builds right out from the gate
>>722157002Awww poor baby Murrifat thinks their bias means rest of the world is as retard as they are. The laws in USA are outdated as fuck, the laws were put in place because small communities did nothing but inbreeding within the community. Your country is just inbred shithole.
>>722152368Some of the character lack a lot of the charm the characters from the first game had, that was the main reason Hades 1 was so talked outside of the gamer bubble but the gameplay is way better
>>722152086Hot
Jesus fucking christ FUCK YOU CHRONOS.Next up Chronos EM. (Really) just fuck you as well Homer
>>722159327My rotation is typically Chaos > pick a god that compliments best the direction my build took in the first level > Echo for value or Selene if my hex justifies it > Odysseus to make the last boss extra safe.
>>722159327Athena is a crutch.
>>722159460Mel is a brick wall. I have absolutely no idea what's "cool" about her.
>>722159907What are you talking about you insane pajeet?
dlc idea: you play as zagreus
>>722160054It's not any more a crutch than picking a God Amulet.
>>722160339>PajeetTry again retard. Why would I be from another shithole?
>>722159460>>722160208Mel is at her best when she comes off as a naive young woman learning about the world of gods and titans and just trying to understand why they are the way they are. The game also wants you to think of her as a badass killer, raised from the crib to kill Chronos, but it doesn't come off as that when she has done nothing prior to the game's story to justify this "badassery". Zagreus, in the first game, is pretty much looked down upon because he has no accolades and no real combat experience until he starts trying to leave Hades, so him slowly getting people's respect in his own house is part of the charm.They had to have made some backstory about all the enemies Mel beat over her life, preparing to fight Chronos eventuall. Made some of the bosses currently working with Chronos old enemies beat over her early life, looking for revenge and such.We are just told by Hecate that she's super fucking capable and skilled, but no actual showcase of that in-universe through dialogue. Also lost of characters are there just to be there, like Odysseus being around. Achilles makes kind of sense since he's supposed to be the House of Hades personal bodyguard and in-universe the guy that writed down all the descriptions about characters and such for your log.Hades 2, despite being a direct sequel, feels more lost in how to set its characters within the same universe. A really bottom-up design, where the mechanics and basic premise for the game's combat and mechanics came before the plot itself.
>chubby peppy motherly womanNEURON ACTIVATION
>>722152025This is one of the most ugly over designed characters I've seen in a long time
>>722152086Based and true to greek myth
>>722160716I honestly wish they kept Zag as a protagonist and merely escalated stakes. He ended completely overshadowing Mel anyway.
>>722157002France, Spain and Portugal allow all incest, but maybe EU laws supersede that
>>722159842They're good, but I still don't really like them. I didn't like them in Hades 1 either. Makes things too standardized and samey.
I defeated Prometheus why is the black coat not showing? Also have adamant and cinder do I need to take to someone?
There is like 4 different voice actors or what? Even Mel is just Athena with higher pitch.
>>722160813Hmm, I can see that, but I can also see why they went with a new character. Zagreus "story arc" was finished and he was satisfied. Letting someone else, with a whole different background and skill set take the lead makes sense if you want to expand the gameplay or leave yourself open to try new mechanics and such. I think Zagreus should have had a bigger role in the story. Maybe instead of Hades being the prisoner you talk to, have Zagreus be the one person to escape the sudden Chronos attack because he's the only one that knows all the nooks and crannies of tartarus and able to elude Chronos and he's the one that helps Mel when she arrives at the last segment of tartarus. Much like how Hermes is you helper when you reach Olympus.
>>722161134American VAs are expensive, brah and they deserve to be PAID WHAT THEY ARE WORTH.
>>722161189Cronos basically added an entirely new family member for Zag to fix. I think stepping outside of Hades would've worked wonders for him too, giving him a fresh perspective about the world. It would also make sense in terms of escalating power levels and threats, since now he has all the training from the first game and ready to become even stronger.If they really wanted a female protagonist, i dunno, take an entirely different setting and a different mythos. But Mel is such a weak lead i don't think making a female protagonist really works for them. Transistor was de-facto Boxer game since Red is silent, too.
is the protagonist the only hot girl in the entire game(s)
>>722159327Icarus' Hammer is good 3rd if maxed, it lasts long enough for both regions, though if you're not comfortable with certain hammers you might not want it. Aromatic Phial is great 1st on the Surface, good chance you can turn a Common boon you want Heroic with it and you have some choices, also the best one if you need some extra healing. I like Knuckle Bones for the 4th night. Silver Wheel for mana can be useful sometimes. Silken Sash is pretty good on a Heph build that's stacked a shitload of Armor. Selene is good if you have promising Hex upgrades or they scale well early like Moon Water's additional usage stacking.
>>722156074I like how making half the pantheon black isn't greek erasure but choosing to not make Achilles and Patroculus explicitly butt buddies is considered gay erasure
>>722152086I need to see this. Preferably in a good artstyle.
>>722152086>that means its okay to fuck your sister, fuck your mom, fuck your dog, fuck your cat, fuck everything next to youyou deserve everything bad happening to you
>>722161384Ahhh, i forgot about the strike.So that's why le epic heroic fire man ben starr is cast as Prometheus.
>>722155289What color should they be?
>>722161443No, Scylla is really hot too if you like monster girls. And Artemis has a good design too, the tumblr artstyle just doesn't do her any favors.
>>722161134they have less because some of the devs are doing voices too. athena and mel have different actors though
>>722158074Yes that's what you people always say, everyone was blond with blue eyes until suddenly they weren't.Hey you know some natives in Africa and the Pacific have black skin with blue eyes and blonde hair?
>>722161718If Artemis looked like this in game I'd give the devs a pass on a lot of the gay shit
>>722161765That's bullshit, you can hear Athena if you talk with anyone while using dark side.
>>722161430Hmm, sure, I can agree to an extent, but you also have to remember that this is Supergiant first real sequel they ever made. Remaking the same basic concept is not something they had tried before and making a whole new character makes sense when you take that into account. And I don't think I quite agree with Zagreus getting out of Hades "making wonders" for him. His whole character arc was about him finding his place in his own world and accepting that he is part of said world after he tries to fix and improve it. Also female protagonists are fine, especially how Supergiant writes their characters usually. My favourite game of theirs is Pyre and the Reader can even be non-binary.
anyone else think getting the epilogue in this one was weird? in hades 1 you have to talk to all the gods, which like what the game revolves around. in this one, the game tells you to do a weird sequence that seems kind of random and meaningless to me, and then it just dumps into a cutscene and there's the epilogue. is it a reference to some pantheon thing or what
>>722161189Imagine if they went wit Hades himself as a prequel or something.
>>722154985Panties don't exist in ancient Greece, it's like space.
>>722161771nordicist make exaggerated claims, but I full believe there to have blonde blue eyed people in iron Age Greece more than people with skin tone like Indians/Ethiopians
Can't wait for Supergiant's vampire slop clone.
Any channel ability sucks and it is the majority of abilities in this game therefore the game sucks the majority of the time.
>>722162113We can't know for sure because the Greek phenotype at the time would have been completely gone by the time Rome took over everything anyways. It's like arguing how truly dark the egyptians were when, but the time Egypt as an empire was dead, they were already romanized anyways.And even a "greek" phenotype would be hard to pinpoint because Greece was mostly city-states that were loosely connected for defense purposes. Would Athens and Sparta have the same phenotype? What about cities that were in any of the several islands that made up Greece?
>>722161694black
>>722161536well greek gods didn't have problem to fuck anything that movedhell some of the mythical beasts were born by the union of a human or a god and some sort of animal.but of course this isn't something a reactionary tranny tourist like you would know, your kind hardly differentiate between fiction and reality
>>722159215That's funny because alot of women are obsessed with the Persephone Hades myth and self insert themselves as her
um
>Much of the game is pointing to Olympus kinda deserving a war being waged on them>Multiple characters fucked over by the Gods being petty are introduced (Arachne, Pandors, Odysseus, Prometheus, Heracles, Icarus)>Nemesis herself is introduced and is extremely on the fence about the war since she knows that both the Gods and Chronos are bad>Chronos bluntly states that if Melinoe just stops trying to kill him he's willing to speak with her>Mel herself is portrayed as a mentally handicapped autist who can only think about "KILL CHRONOS", which Hecate induced upon her>Supergiant chickens out at the last second and doesn't capitalize on any of this
>>722162287The fates are pitch black at least
>>722162405are the greek gods here todayfucking shit up? WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ROMAN EMPIRE
>>722157002>Most countries in EU bans that shit.that old news you xenophobe, only the minority doesn't have incest.
>>722162672A game with these designs was never going to have the ghetto crew gods be the main thing to overcome.
>>722152025what's wrong with her left tit?
>>722162672Dont forget the true ending and jow zag literally just talked to Chronos lmao
>>722155390>godess of agriculturee, harvest, fertility, and the earth's growth...>wearing armor like some warrior princess or whateversigh...
>>722162284As far as we know continental southern Greece had a coherent and cohesive genetic profile that probably melded into the North Macedonian, Albanian and Bulgarian Iron Age profiles we see at the time(the first 2 of which are fully "white" in any definition of the word in genetic terms)In the Cyclades and Crete there could have been an additional pre-Greek ancestral layer which would have made them less fair, same goes for Anatolian Greeks.But even then just as you can find some blue eyes blonde south Italians and Greeks today so probably could you in the past and just like you can't find Indian-looking Greeks today so you couldn't in the past(by Indian I mean actually Indian, not bollywood Indian that overlaps with the darkest greeks of course)Anyway the Greek genetic profile was most impacted by the Hellenistic period and the Roman period, but I don't think it was gone in the European side by the Roman conquest, IMO it was the cosmpolitan empire that brought it to its end by firmly integrating Anatolia and the Levant and Greece under one country.
>>722158117>indie devEA? Don't you mean indian dev?
>>722162932dried and shivered because of necrosis
>>722162942They're at war
>>722163341oh right, makes sense that they send the elderly woman farmer to fight. sorry my bad
>>722160010I thought it was going to be bad. It was far worse. Fuck this fight with vigor. Never again. Id rather take any vow over the final VoR. I think my butt has cramped into clenching after that...
I had to play the first game on easy mode because my reaction speed is fucked, I mostly played it to get through the story. If this one plays better but has a worse story then I don't think this one is for me.
>>722163454they're gods. they all can fight. demeter used malphon to pummel titan skulls into a bloody smear
games boring. binding of isaac ruins these games for me. its way more interesting
>>722162672Wasted potential really just sums up my opinion of Hades 2.
>>722163861I just see no point to the grinding desu. Even isaac didn't force me to chew my steak this slowly.And the surface altpath doesn't resolve the issue that the game still has dogshit variety.
>>722162672>>Mel herself is portrayed as a mentally handicapped autist who can only think about "KILL CHRONOS", which Hecate induced upon herthe epilogue makes this even more retarded
>>722163798>they're godsThen what do they need armour for?
>>722164796Dress for the job.
>>722164796Hephaestus needs a job.
>>722154869In those states they make sexual intercourse between first-cousins the crime, not the marriage part Anon
>>722161189They should’ve made the entire first game a time loop caused by Chronos and the second game is you freeing Zagreus from it
>>722152086What! She only fucks Scylla, her wife! She does!
>>722160358You play *against* Zagreus and it's the hardest motherfucking battle ever. The theme is Death and I but improved.
>>722152086I’m her brother btw
>>722164796Poseidon ackshually explains that.
Black Coat RMB spam wins me the game every time now. What are the best gods for it though? Seems to work with anything really, but wondering on how to optimize.
>>722152025But if we all b ecome better men... then who will be the bull?
>>722167915Asterius. But he's a bro so he would never cuck you.
>>722152025Why does she have that stupid green arm?
Why did they make it about boring greece gods again and not something more fun like egypt or Indian gods? There are way more Indian gods which lets you have more opportunity.
>>722152025>>722152086Melinoe is exclusively for Icarus, sorry
>>722152025Why do people complain about her being a "girlboss"? She's pretty cute and kind for the most part.
>>722168041Ghost handjobs.
>>722154516Basically yes. Plenty of classics have elements that right wing V would identify as woke, and they remain classics. Unironically, chuds are the modern SJW's and the cartoon memes one of these dumbasses have on speed dial as damage control won't change that.
>>722168041She tried to help her boyfriend and accidentally her arm.
>>722155289Why are you an annoying loser who bitches about this stupid shit 24/7 like you were programmed to do it.
>>722163051A lot of words to just say "Yeah, they had different phenotypes".
>>722168247People will say that for any game that has a female protagonist, because women intimidate them
>>722168247Since when are zoomers people
Lmao the Apollo/Demeter charm really is busted against Typhon. If you get the small eggs and revive an eyestalk thing, it solos him with ease. Shame the VoR spawns just really big and slow mobs. On my kill on him I revived a captain, who somehow did hardly anything.
>>722152025I would like to have sex with:NemesisDoraNyx (forma de Time Stop)ArachneEchoThank you for your attention to this matter.
>>722168842there are few things less intimidating than a woman. that's kind of the point, anon.
