>dude just finish the game 200 times to get the full story>its worth it bro just trust meHades was never good
>visual novel where you have to chip away at a roguelite to see more of the story>roguelite where you have to sit through a visual novel every couple of runsat least the characters are hot
>>723324206Everything else aside - once you've unlocked pact of punishments it becomes a decent lunchbreak run type of game. Scratches diabloid itch too.
>Main character wants to defeat hades>Defeat hadesDone, talked to some greek fags along the way but couldn't care less about the story. What more does it add? Give you more reason to defeat hades? Tries to guilt you because you fucked up going after him? Hades 2 is even worse in that regard, it's just the main character glazing every NPC she meets.
>thinly veiled I'm mad about roguelites again thread

>>723324206*8
>>723327548This is the new game tho. Hades 1 has the hot skeleton guy
>>723325059It's voice acted at least.I had fun.Haven't played the sequel yet
>>723327548I do like the old designs better.The new designs aren't that bad IMO.
>>723327548Most of them are slightly annoying but asian Hermes is just baffling
>>723327548where are the black greeks of history?
>>723328281He was Asian looking in the first one too, and yes it's equally strange.Actually, let me run a slight defense on the changes. It does give them a unique look, which does allow you to discern them from any screen size.Other than that, I don't know why.
>>723328776They each have a distinct symbol before you summon them already
>>723328976I understand, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here or "steel manning" their position.
>>723327548eris owes me sex
>>723324206it only takes 10 times
>>723328776devs already said it's a universe where greek gods are actually the real gods of humanity and there are no other gods hence why the diversityI frankly don't care, I want to make children with hera and have zeus punish me for cucking him and curse my offspring to be a monster or something
>>723330341that is fucking retarded
>>723330767How is it retarded? They are considered the gods of the entire world. And they are in the image of the entire world.We also have american white jesus and korean jesus literally right now in the world. Korean jesus is fucking jacked btw.
>>723324206I hit credits on run 15, skill issue.
>>723330767Isn't it obvious that if any religion/mythology were true, the gods would have reign of the entire world/all creation, and not just the bumfuck shithole that wrote the story?
Got burned out after fighting Hades twiceJust thinking about having to fight the fuccbois again makes me bored, maybe they shouldn't have given them a trillion hp so the fight doesn't lasts ages despite you knowing their moveset by heart an doing ridiculous dps.
>>723327548i can chalk up fat black vitiligo Hestia to wokeness sure but changing Hermes to asian from one game to another is just profound terminally online mental illness.
>>723331473He was Asian in the first game too. Get your eyes checked.
>>723331253no, that's shitsmt did it better
>>723331473That's not even the worst one
>>723331253because they're fucking greek, you fucking moron
>>723324206I wish Supergiant would go back to making normal games like Bastion and Transistor. Roguelikes are lame.
>>723332176Show me Zeus' driver's license right now
>>723332505god, the soundtrack for transistor was fucking legendary
>>723327548bed breaking sex with Eris
>>723332505>I wish Supergiant would go back to making normal games like Bastion and Transistor.nigga they have made the exact same game like 8 times now, just with a slightly different coat of paint and gameplay conceithow about they make a real motherfucking 2d or 3d game instead of this isometric trash on the exact same 15-year-old engine
>>723332921I'm a huge Supergiant fan but frankly the combat isn't great, the story isn't great, and the characters aren't great. Like people shit on Pyre for being too VNy and sort of punishing the player for winning, but the story and characters are cool. Hades makes you play a bad roguelite so you can get a not great story. Pictured: proof that I'm as big a fag as I say I am
>>723333236Hades*Transistor is kino in all forms.
>>723324206>every run is the same>there's like 5 weapons>the meta upgrades suck and feel pointlessBut at least theres a shitty VN in there, i guess?
>>723324206Wait I just bought it. Is this true? I always die with hades I will stop caring if its true
>>723333329Zagreus' MO being snark and sarcasm doesn't help either, it soothes the player not winning their first handful of runs, but it completely deflates the story
>>72333336810 completions gets you the real ending. Which is why it's the first Supergiant game where "If you don't like it now, just drop it"
hades is the kind of game /v/ would have unanimously liked if it came out 15 years earlierin fact /v/ almost unanimously liked hades back when barely anybody knew about it and this board was one of the only places you could find discussion of the game
>>723333368You get credits and the main story conclusion after escaping 10 times.There's a true conclusion to all characters' stories after maxing out your bond with every god by giving them enough gifts over a bazillion runs, but no one cares about that.
WHO THE FUCK PLAYS VIDEO GAMES FOR HTE <<STORY>>?????
>>723333576We did like Hades 15 years ago, that said it's been 15 years and the replayability on this combat just ain't there. Transistor or Pyre lend themselves better to a roguelike than Bastion/Hades(see: iterative Bastion combat).
Just now. Good gaym.
>>723327548apollo and hestia aside, what the hell happened to chaos?
>>723334326He got to connect with his family and thus changed his appearance to be more proper and less primordial.
Still haven't seen /v/ name a better roguelite
>>723334445Slay the Spire
>>723333840>We did like Hades 15 years ago, that said it's been 15 years
>>723334556Lmaaoooo
>>723327470i think you are a schizo
>>723334326They tore the primary head off their previous body, which is also birthing a ftal form its mouth, and replaced their drape of faces with a suit(that is still made from another face)I like it as a display of their ever shifting form and trying something different right now while still retaining the elements from the first game. The chest eyeball being re-contextualized to resemble a tie is kino.
>>723325059>mindless podcast game that demands I pay attention to meaningless dialogue every other minute.I dont know why they ram so much pointless VN shit in the games.
>>723324206I'd say there's enough to keep you going to hit the credits. Not so much after that.
how's the gameplay for the sequel?will it get a physical ps4 release one of these days?
>>723327548Selene is white tho?
>>723335952Selene is constantly shifting between light and dark colours because moon phases.>>723334326Apollo has a heavy tan because sun, Hestia is covered in soot because fire.
>>723324206>its worth it bro just trust meAnd it really was
>>723334583The bar has been raised is what it means. Hades combat was impressive when indie games were new and expectations were low
>>723324206>>dude just finish the game 200 times to get the full storyjust git gud and beat it on the first try.
>>723336631all the hades-clones are worse, including hades 2. so I don't take your response very seriously.
>>723336915>hades clonesYou mean Bastion clones?
reminder: roguelikes are popular because they simulate the experience of getting better at something over time.
>>723335928Gameplay is better. You get more attack options than attack, special, and dash-attack, and the cast is much better. There are also two separate paths to go down, each the same size as the one in Hades.Writing and the design of the characters is where it falls short, and arguably the boon options.
>>723337102Metaprogression ends at a certain point in some roguelites after just a couple of runs and people still play them for 1000s of hours. Try again pseud.
>>723337226In fact you'll run out of upgrades long before you run out of fear difficulty additions.
>>723324206Bastion is their only good game, but that shit is pure gold desu
true i just used cheats and didnt do the boring ass grindits trash
>>723335928It'll get a PS5 release at least
>>723331606>He was Asian in the first game too.He was barely so, they were not unaware of how much the new art clashes with the old one, they clearly made him more asian and were fine with an egregious change because it lines up with their insane ideology. Stop being disingenuous.
>>723335952Speaking of Selene, are her boons even worth it?
>>723324206>man realizes he doesn't like a genreWait until you play Diablo II for the first time my little zoomer.
>>723327548There's something off about the drawing on these. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe shading? Shadows being binary? It's weird.
>>723338064Yes>take moon water, take +3 charges at fountain node early, sandbag until final boss>lazer with armor on cast nodes in safe DPS>wolf howl has i-frames>godsent hexes is free DPS
>>723338064Yes. Get the one that turns people into sheep and boost it with Zeus so it bounces around with lightning
>>723338064lunar ray, wolf howl jump, and raised servants are bretty good on their own and can become god tier with the upgrades.total eclipse is good presuming you use it at the correct time and the enemies don't move out of ittime stop, heal, and morph are decent utility that get better as you upgradedark form is kinda dogshit that does worse damage than your normal attacks and practically requires full tree investment to be close to really be useful for anything besides invuln stalling
