annoying thread
op the kinda fucker that would come up to you in the playground and pull some shitass joke he heard on tv the other day like the "if your hand is bigger than your face" thing about 2 years after everyone else knew about it
he the kinda kid that walks up to the first guy to have a shitty motorola flipphone and ask if he has games on there
the kinda kid that would call you a dickhead in class and then when the teacher overhears he just coughs and goes "w-what? i just said uhhh.... 'i feel sick, and need to uhh, lay in bed, yeah that's it!"
the kinda kid that gifts you a yoyo and then runs to his mom saying you stole it because he's embarrassed to ask for it back
the kinda kid that didn't know how to tie his shoes until he was in middle school and made up excuses like how velcro shoes are actually really cool because all the football players wear them so it actually increases his running speed by 6% and he's not lame
I bet his name is Clive

I did mount olympus for the first time a couple days ago because I didn't play it in early access and remained unspoiled. I used up all my death defiances but I beat it first try, and I had absolutely no clue what was going on in the Typhon fight because everything was so zoomed out, amazing feeling when I actually managed to beat him. Going up to the palace after that was amazing, the daybreak art actually managed to recapture the feeling of getting to the surface in the first game, and Apollo singing his song was peak kino. Easily the best moment in any game all year.

A slowpoke moment.
Try Chronos VoR with Frenzy2. Its probably the hardest setting in the game by itself.
>>
non-VoR Prometheus is harder than Chronos, Typhon, Zagreus, VoR Hecate, VoR Polyphemus and VoR Eris.
In general though I think the VoR bosses are way better than the extreme measures bosses in Hades 1. I feel like I'm actually getting better at them in each attempt instead of them just being a "is your run good enough" check

i guess he plays stuff that doesn't have a lot of dialogue like Slay the Spire

Here's the /v/ga spread. If you count Larian as a big western dev, then 2023, but if you don't, then it would have been DOOM 2016, in 2016, as the last big Western AAA game to win Least Worst game in the /v/gas.

larian is big, they're just self-published; they probably rake far less revenue than modern games with lootboxes and gacha shit though.

chronos is one of those bosses like erys that are easier when you stand behind them.

ok I'll try this next time I fight him hope he doesn't decide to charge at me at point-blank range because that would really suck

Also almost all his moves are trivialized if you dodge INTO him instead of away. If he did the thrown move youll have plenty of time to react with another dodge.

The weapons all feel better than their Hades 1 equivalent imo. Except the axe maybe, doesn't feel as satisfying as the aspect of Arthur did.
I would rather chop my cock off than do another run with any of the adamant rail's aspects
>>
>>722335190
Rail is totally fine with Zeus attack or with aphro attack in case of Hestia.
And rocket/5x hammers delete the screen.
>>
>>722335190
I mean everybody has a right to their opinion but holy fuck man.
Dash having a delay in this game already makes it shittier by default, but about every weapon feels worse as well. Everything is less snappy and feels clunkier to me. The torches are alright since they actually lean onto it somewhat but I just want the weapons from 1 back.

Do you play with controller by any chance? Can't really blame you since it seems SGG doesn't actually know how to play their own fucking game and recommend it.

you mean a cooldown? that's one of the best part of the game, no more RSI for me thank you. but yeah generally they toned down the spammy nature of hades 1 with omega skills, and i love what they did with selene.
>>
>>722335568
>Delay
>Snappy
>Clunkier
Look anon, if you just want to spam dash and attack button the whole game, you have the right for your terrible opinion.

>>722335697
This anon gets it. It's about making you actually learn how to play the game and improve with each weapon rather than just stacking all the damage boons and abuse dash i-frames.
>>
>>722335697
No, I mean a delay.
The Arcana for increasing running speed removes it (without stating so) but the game, by default, has a delay on the dash.
>>722336602
Absolute best of luck trying to beat bosses with vow of rivals without "abusing dash i-frames" but I'm fairly certain you don't even know what that looks like.
>>
>>722336809

>>722335568
It depends on weapon. I think the skull might be one of the worst weapons in any roguelike but stuff like black coat, staff, sister blades absolutely mog the hades 1 weapons.
Melinoe's cast is significantly comfier than Zagreus's and omega moves are fun AF.

the special has iframes like the dash mate, it's busted asf.

>>722339220

No it doesn't. Only the omega special does.
The weapon is a clunky piece of shit and the Medea aspect makes me want to blow my brains out.

What does Ares scorn even do? Does it mean that every 3 seconds your atk/special will deal more dmg? Isn't that shit?

What's the deal with all the hardware bloat?
Hades required 4gb of RAM which is already too much for an indie pseudo-2D game with low polygon models and small levels
Hades 2 requires 8gb minimum and 16gb recommended.
Will Hades 3 require 50gb of RAM?

Why do you need to upgrade your PC every 2 years to play indie pixelshit?
>>
>>722339874
i don't want a hades 3 honestly. i'd rather the devs do something new. maybe even try to do a fully 3d action game. surely they have the funds and experience by now to branch out.

>>
>>722340186
If it can play Crysis it should play the 2D flash game Hades 2.
I could play Hades on my laptop in bed. And it's not even that Hades 2 doesn't run on 8gb, it's that it is hard coded to not even launch if it detects less than 8gb of unused RAM. If I could bypass it the game would just play normally because it's fucking 2D slop with jpegs as character models.
>>
>>722340054

I've never played Hades, so it may well be a good game, but you know good and well Silk Song gets dinged for difficulty alone.
>>
>>722336809
Anon, Vow of Rivals bosses aren't even that hard besides the very last bosses. Hell, Rival cyclops is easier if you DON'T dash around all over the stage and just learn positioning

In fact, the most issues I had dodging stuff in this game was how the isometric camera sometimes makes it hard to figure out how close the projectiles are from you when they come in an arc, like during the Typhon fight. The game does need more noticeable shadows for those, but besides that is all about getting good and learning when to dash rather than just spamming it like in Hades 1. Typhon's head slam should be your big test for learning that because it would be one of the easiest moves to dodge in Hades 1, but if you screw up the timing, you eat shit all the time. Same with that tongue lase whip attack, since it's slightly slower so you can't just cheese it by quickly double dashing like in Hades 1.

If you mean wounds, then its even worse than that. It makes your attack have 50+ power once every 3 seconds. Its is quite weak on anything that is not slow as fuck. Like say Selene Aspects Omega attack.

You have to get those 48 gb to future proof yourself. I know I did.

It's not that bad since Ares also gives a decent amount of Attack Damage. Surprisingly good on an Omega Attack spamming Sister Blades build.
>>
>>722340646
I am not a pajeet so I don't know how to put more RAM into a laptop to play a 2D flash game. I will not go through the humiliation ritual of putting some kind of external RAM drive on my laptop and I am not going to throw out my perfectly good laptop to buy one with more RAM to play a 2D flash game
The devs should just make a game that runs and is optimized. Hades 2 should run without a graphics card, 126mb of RAM and a processor from 1999.
Anyone defending the bloat is jewish or a pajeet.
>>
>>722340723
>>722340879
Hmm I see. So it's only useful for multiplying base dmg. I guess maybe on an omega spamming one hit build.
>>
>>722341042
It's also a Curse, so you can use it to activate Origination. If your build is mostly based around Attack or Special it's pretty easy to put it on the other thing.
>>
Ending is shit. if this wins GOTY its cause its an industry plant.
>>
>>722327165
Prometheus gets way easier when you start learning to constantly keep mid-distance from him. Too close and he destroys you with kicks and fire uppercuts, too far and he'll dash all over the place and set up those fire area denial attacks. You gotta get in, attack and then pull back or move around the stage alongside him if you are on ranged.

I was stuck on Prometheus, wiped to him 7 or 8 times.

The first time I beat Prometheus, I saw for the first time the Boon that jacks up your HP by around 100 but hides your current health total.

I went into Typhon completely blind, and I was taking a ton of hits. It was extremely frantic and I had no idea what my HP was. I somehow managed to win on the first try, and the victory stats screen showed my HP at 55/560. I know it sounds cringe but it was fuckin exhilarating, best gaming moment I've had in a long time.

I think the artwork and character design in the game is complete trash, but when I got to the top of Olympus and saw the original designs and beautiful classical statues of the gods, it was fuckin kino.
>>

I'm so happy that one meaningless number is 2 points bigger than another.
I remember being 17 is a hard time. Even 1 year makes a huge difference, so I'm glad that you've found a relatable thing that makes you just a bit happy in life!
Honestly? I'm somewhat jealous of you being young and carefree. When you get old it's easy to loose track of simple things, like numbers being slightly higher or lower than the one you are at. It's a simple, but powerful concept. I'm glad you are fully experiencing the joys of being underage retard who cares about math so much, to make a whole ass bait thread about it. Wish I was as young and stupid as you again.
God bless.

1 is much more frantic with an emphasis on just being invulnerable at all times while 2 makes you have to actually consider positioning and such becaue they slowed both you and the game down to an extent, so it depends on if you're a twitch reflex person or more thoughtful imo

I unlocked the Argent Skull. Everyone hyped it up as OP but it doesn't seem that good. The attack is annoying without the hammer that auto-collects the skull, and the special doesn't block like the shield did in Hades 1 so you just kill yourself half the time.

Is this weapon a meme or is it some sub-aspect I haven't unlocked that breaks it?
>>
>>722354662
Aspect. The one where you hold your skulls in hand mean you don't have to chase if you're sticking on someone's ass, and it comes with a fucking insane +90% buff to attack and special damage or something.

In EA I did omega specials spam with Aphrodite on the special it was stupid fun. I do like Persephone more than base skull. They really should have leaned into the attack on the base aspect more. The skull is a bit unfortunate as I feel it's the most varied in balance. Medea is broken good, Persephone has pretty good uses for poms but a bit of a gimmicky upside, Hel feels somewhat slow to get going properly and the base skull just feels very basic.

Pretty sure I did the same thing in Hades 1 actually. It's funny how the game feels normal, but then you get use to high Heat/Fear and it makes going back to normal feel like a joke.

I haven't gotten the 4th aspect of the Axe, but it's my favorite of the 3 just for the bonus health and not having to think of gimmicks, just smash.
The others are all okay at base form. It's just that the aspects all build off of those bases, so of course they're all going to feel more interesting than the base.

It's not quite a Naruto. It's more of a temporal lobotomy than a normal talk-no-jutsu. And Zagreus was the one that did it, Melinoe wanted his ass destroyed and didn't seem to like the result at first.

>artemis parry gives you one crit
It gives you 50% crit on your next 9 hits.
>>
>>722363417
So on average it gives 4,5 crits, on weapon with low base damage. Or it might not give you any crits with the rng in this game being fucked (how the fuck does 25% chance of spawning the eye vow spawn more like 50% of time). Its still shit.
At least the meli blades has the 150% ass damage. Even if its worthless for Typhon.

>>722370635
Omega cast is a trap because the damage isn't worth the time spent channeling, you just want Zeus or Scorch on the cast itself, Frost for Gale, and then Zeus or Fireball ranged cast. Apollo for expanding casts is fun, Air Quality is broken with Gale, and if you end up with Ares's bladestorm on Omega Cast or the Ares lingering AoE then it becomes worth channeling.
>>
>>722370635
Aphrodite's Cast for Pulling Shit in and dealing lots of small damage
Zeus' Cast Upgrade for making your cast on target instead of self AoE
Frost Gale for slowing enemies inside and dealing lots of small damages
Apollo for Mana Regen and larger cast area
Finally Air Quality so the minimum damage you deal is a flat 50, your 3-5dmg attacks suddenly become 50 and you just shred shit down.

most games can get excruciatingly annoying to 100%, that's the price to pay if you're a completionist. i recommend reevaluating how much you "need" this totally unnecessary upgrade or to stop playing.

Because consistent writing would get in the way of Melinoe looking confused and sad while angsty piano music plays over 5 minutes of slow walking. Gotta milk that emotional payoff even if it makes zero internal sense. The "shared memory across timelines" conveniently stops being a thing the moment it would resolve the plot in a clean, satisfying way.

the situations in hades I and hades II are completely different. hades I is making peace with your abusive father, hades II is like you're finally subduing the maniac uncle who's been raping your family for years and deciding "what the hell let's be friends"

we've been doing exactly this in both hades 1 and hades 2 all along by giving nectars. again, you're complaining about an aspect of the game that has been here all along.
>>

Eris herself was never a particularly tough boss. People who had trouble with her tried to stay at range and ended up getting fucked. If you just stick next to her you can avoid all her bullshit attacks. Rivals Eris though is complete cancer.

>>722433928
Zeus works on anything since his attack boon is just massive +DPS and his cast is good.

I've fought with Chronos about 6 times and that stupid scythe throw hits me EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME

>>722434054
Run towards him instead of running away
>>
>>722433928
For sure, the full auto attack combo produces a small wave that strikes a decent range in front of you. It is very mp hungry though
>>
>>722434054
literally just stand in front of him and don't move
>>
I just can't get over how retarded ending is and how stupid postgame dialogues are. I guess i still gonna finish up and get tru ending but this shit sucks. Also fuck Selene, don't think this bitch ever said anything that wasn't gay "oh moon so moon and youre also moon, very moon wow".

In other news i just saw Odysseus sit at bar, wow, only took whole ass game to see one character sit there by themselves. In Hades 1 you could see people interacting all the time and here the camp feels so lifeless and boring.

If I do this I get hit by the other shit

Take the healing hex pill and ares heal if you're getting mogged.
>>
>>722434208
Not during the throw attack.
>>
Opinions on pan? I used it a couple time and it felt underwhelming
>>
>>722434054
Dash to where the throw started, and you'll avoid being hit if you do it mid throw.
>>
>>722434292
Poseidon on special and try to get trick knives hammer.

>Invul frames ends when you start attacking
Woah.
Now how many iframes do you have when you are doing the dodge attack in Souls games?
>>
>>722434292
Wasn't it different in the early access or am I misremembering?
>>
>>722434669
It was much better, OP even.
Then it got nerfed.
>>
Why do I need to clear the testaments one at a time? that's kinda gay
>>
I have 40 hours in and I'm calling it quits, not really feeling like getting all the cheevos and doing the 3 fates thing
>>

I dont like attacking on torches tho, I just spam Y and run like a mongoloid, and channel the Y
had the daedelus buff providing one additional projectile with rare scorch on them and it was crazy good, died before chronos because I lost two lives on trash mobs like a dumbass

Then you're going to love the hidden aspect, but on the normal ones, attacking is the play.

Also, Anubis staff + any proc on attack is fucking hilarious
>>
i cant get any of the hidden aspects, i have every normal aspect unlocked and melinoe's aspect at level 5 on every weapon and none of these niggers will give it up. am i just unlucky? is there some single fucking prerequisite dialogue line i have to see first before theyll start giving them?
>>
>>722438101
afaik you have to have lvl 5 in any of the aspects of the weapon and then just rng talk until they give it to you.
>>
>>722438101
You have to max out aspect other then Mel.

Special is the way of Mel staff.
Unless you get mirrored thrasher.
>>722439587
That is the reality of it, you choice yo accept it or not.
>>
>>722439783
I just used triple attack staff with burning boon. Melted shit fast...but i guess a noob bis outclasses it in that regard a lot.
>>
>>722431008
Nah, massive cuck energy. Made for inviting over just to sneak off and get with Moros.

>>722439587

W*men moment

Good tread, faggot OP. Many such cases, proud of you /v/.
Give me some of your cool builds. Bonus points if they don't require 4+ deferent midgame boons to work.
>>
>>722427103
beat all other rivals upgraded bosses and then beat the game

I might need to try some other gods because after a while i just want to use burn attack and thats about it, maybe freeze cast to proc arcana.
Ares was my goat in 1 but here he sucks, smith is complete shit, boons that just add attack boring, zeus needs all the fucking boons to work, poseidon is basically just hestia but weaker unless you stack boons...

you are welcome

Team Cherry really dropped the ball not giving an afro and vitiligo to half the bugs.
Could have had a 97 score at least.

>burn attack
Literally never tried it. What weapons for it?
>>
>>722315047
Fuck Gaydes II. It got high reviews by leftards just for being tranny faggot game.
>>
>>722447209
Pretty much all can do well except axe and skull. If we talk about default aspects then i liked using staff or torches built into attack or gauntlets built into special spam. Daggers should work great too but i didn't use them much. Really its just about shitting out as much attacks as possible, if you have hidden staff aspect then omega attack basically deletes everything.
>>
>>722448149
Huh. Alright gonna try it.
