h2-discussion

[candid geode]

As it should

[prisma mountain]

People don't talk about how e33 kinda inaccessible if you have a bad pc tho that game is so heavy 😔

[candid geode]

GOW was peak

[raven perch]

I do honestly prefer playing H2 over silksong casually but I feel Silksong is just incredible across the board

[granite mauve]

god of war story was beautiful

[graceful sundial]

this!! gow was amazing as a sequel. so many things changed, the art direction was amazing and the story was great.

[candid geode]

Kratos secret boss in Hades but he kills Chronos for Melinoë

[prisma mountain]

I feel like silksong won't win just because it has some problem with difficulty curve that turned a lot of people off

[granite mauve]

I feel like silksong will win because of its hype

[raven perch]

Yeah, which is unfortunate

[keen thunder]

If Astro Bot can win then Hades II can win. I'm not criticizing Astro Bot (I think it is great) but its win shows that gameplay, ease of entry, and broad appeal play big factors. I think Hades II has much broader appeal than expedition 33. So I think it is a toss up

[candid geode]

https://tenor.com/view/hulk-taco-smile-gif-15840669

[limpid oar]

What if Chronos is secretly Kratos in cosplay?

[candid geode]

Kratos you dIETING?!?!

[jaunty marsh]

Eh, I can't be mad if Silksong beats out Hades 2, both are deserving.

[graceful sundial]

I've seen some people talking about that but I haven't been able to play Silksong yet. What is it regarding the difficulty? I remember HK being alright?

[candid geode]

We will just have to seee

[raven perch]

I think H2 will win over silksong but I don’t know if either will beat out e33 cuz I don’t know anything about it

[wintry dagger]

Polygon review be sounding like the critic from Ratatouille

“It makes me think of the martini. Countless variations exist, the cocktail having been shaken and stirred by literally every bartender who's clocked into a shift since its 19th-century invention, but we all know which recipe is the best; a certain British superspy famously swears by it. The original remains the gold standard, 150 years later. Will the strawberry basil negroni have that staying power? Riff on the classics all you want. At some point the menu needs a new drink.”

[granite mauve]

it’s like hollow knight but every enemy deals 2 masks of damage

[jaunty marsh]

Early game difficulty curve in Silksong is a bit scuffed.

[candid geode]

me sending my prayers to the gods so that hades 2 wins goty just like hades 1 did in 2020

[jaunty marsh]

It smooths out and they're patching things but the early game can be quite, quite brutal.

[prisma mountain]

There is a bit of a difficulty issue with some bosses and area that caused a lot of player frustration (bilewater, moorwing etc)

[graceful sundial]

I just noticed people were complaining about the diagonal pogo 🤡

[sharp cosmos]

Sorry to disrupt the off-topic, but do you guys know if the +x% stat after using Hexes stacks on multiple Hex uses ? If so, simple addition, or multiplicative ?

[candid geode]

https://tenor.com/view/bop-bop-bop-shoebody-bop-squad-summon-dark-magic-gif-13983602502478731881

[raven perch]

I believe it’s additive but I’m not sure

[graceful sundial]

I don't think they stack after many uses... But I might be wrong.

[prisma mountain]

Crazy that people kinda forget about donkey kong bananza too it was a pretty good game

[meager garden]

where hades 2

[meager garden]

I forgot about it and I beat it like a month ago oops

[candid geode]

tomorrow

[granite mauve]

seems like Nintendo is what the gamers have decided to hate on this year after the whole 80$ drama

[cursive kayak]

id much rather an indie game win this year than a triple a game

[graceful sundial]

i'll be uninstalling youtube so i wont get any "HADES 2 ENDING AND EPILOGUE" kind of video

[meager garden]

has an indie game ever wone yet

[candid geode]

Going AWOL after hades 2 drops

No one contact me unless via frog or bird

[graceful sundial]

did celeste win? i cant recall

[worn island]

But what about ferret? I unfortunately only bring gale along with me

[raven perch]

Undertale? Undertale won iirc

[candid geode]

Hades is considered an indie game

[prisma mountain]

Yeah the pricing sucks so I hope hades 2, silksong anf e33 take all the discussion so they learn from them

[cursive kayak]

TLOU2 won goty in 2020 though iirc

[worn island]

Bold assumption that Nintendo, the company with a long standing practice of anti-consumerism, will ever learn anything

[crude dragon]

IIRC, they don't stack

[sharp cosmos]

Ferret are using their messenger job as a cover to do some monitoring of your house for their future heists, everybody knows that

[prisma mountain]

I still haven't played e33 tho despite the constant praise cause it's so heavy on the graphics 😭

[crude dragon]

Suits will never learn anything that benefits the people they sell to

[meager garden]

they'll learn how to make those games but in zelda

just give em like 6 years

[granite mauve]

Triple A has no actual reason to price games low because people buy them regardless

[robust basin]

The audio makes it hilarious

[candid geode]

SHORBADY DOO

[worn island]

Anyways, speaking of good game developers, man, supergiant sure has done a great job with this game that costs half as much as most others

[graceful sundial]

and it's almost twice as long lmao

[prisma mountain]

Imagine if they didn't release hades 2 in EA and it launched with all the broken stuff lol

[worn island]

Quick everyone, say "Thank you supergiant" in unison (dont actually, theyll understand)

[graceful sundial]

i've got 150hours of playtime and still manage to find good builds and have fun

[candid geode]

Thank you supergiant

[jaunty marsh]

[candid geode]

Thank u for giving me this two year long hyperfixation

[prisma mountain]

Who remember staff poseidon special spam and zeus 1 button sprint build

[merry whale]

spirit surge on launch

[worn island]

I have 279 i no longer play this game for "fun" I play for SUFFERING

[graceful sundial]

release momus ♥ release supay ♥

[raven perch]

I have 719 hours at this point they’re functionally paying Me money to play the game

[graceful sundial]

post-rework revaal just melting everything

[covert badge]

god i miss the old thunder sprint+spirit surge+double strike so much

[candid geode]

Me pretending like I don't care about hades 2 so it would come faster

[worn island]

Quick question, do you uh, have time to breathe?

[robust basin]

I take everything back. I play P3 and had the same problems... I have no idea what's happening. Never had this problem last year playing HK. I don't understand

[keen thunder]

230 hours here. Probably won't slow down until I finish the story, get all prestige unlocks, and beat 32 heat for all weapons both surface and underworld

[meager garden]

what's hades 2?

[raven perch]

I’ve been here since dayyy 1 baby

[candid geode]

Some game idk

[granite mauve]

If you don’t look at the screen they will release it early!

[robust basin]

ALL WEAPONS?

[pallid dune]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-bowl-fat-cat-fluffy-cat-gif-8310740269112472932

[prisma mountain]

Okay but remember old hestia

[keen thunder]

not each aspect, just each of the 6 weapons. That's what the game tracks

[meager garden]

chat when's transistor 2 coming out

[pallid dune]

me waiting for hades 2...

[worn island]

Hope very heavy they dont nerf Ares more in this update

[distant hull]

To this day I'm not sure why they made the Magick using sprints go away. I thought they were a very cool way to add a bigger place for Magick in the gameplay.

Right now the only reason to want Magick is exactly for omega moves which is okay but less variety

[civic charm]

damn ign gave hades 2 a 10/10. rare ign w lol

[robust basin]

Legendary Rush boon!😅

[granite mauve]

too much water

[prisma monolith]

I know ign takes major Ls, but really? Rougelite? Right of the bat?

[worn island]

Sorry I gotta go with a 7/10, not enough water

[meager garden]

(hades 2 is a roguelite)

[granite mauve]

rouge

[prisma monolith]

Yes, a roguelite, not a rougelite

[graceful sundial]

lmao do you guys remember when zeus' born boon used to prime 70% of our available magick and aphrodite's randomly chose one enemy to be weakened?

[meager garden]

oh LMAO

[robust basin]

Well, we unlock arcanas and weapons do we not?

[prisma monolith]

You missed the point...

[prisma mountain]

Cause it was kinda brainless ngl, you get absurb reward for very little input which would get boring pretty quick

[meager garden]

their spellcheck failed them

[indigo cypress]

I love rougeing

[civic charm]

indie goty's bout to go crazy this year

[robust basin]

Oh lol

[prisma monolith]

Gotta love rougelites, my fav genre

[raven perch]

Putting on some light rouge

[granite mauve]

roguelime 🍋‍🟩

[distant hull]

I get that but I'd rather it be nerfed instead of just removed. Plus, Zeus dash stayed the same and now it just doesn't take Magick, no?

[prisma monolith]

Who here played the og Rouge

[raven perch]

Light Rouge is what I call the whitewashed sonic character

[meager garden]

I play rouge in dnd does that count

[graceful sundial]

I think its damage has been reduced and the tick time increased?

[robust basin]

A redlite for the french inclined

[crude dragon]

Remember when Poseidon's made you chase down little MP bubbles that only had a chance to sp-

Oh right it still exists, it's just on Ares now

[keen thunder]

Well most god boons are not supposed to have a downside i think, having sprint use up your magicks even if you don't want it to is a downside

[worn island]

Between skong and hades 2: Olympian boogaloo we got some banger indies this year, oh and deltarune tommorow happened

[candid geode]

OLYMPIANO BOOGALOO

[distant hull]

Even so wish some rushes had Magick use. Like Nyx's Omega Boost, it'd be cool to have something similar for rushes as tier 2

[graceful sundial]

such a bad and pointless change honestly. i HATE running around to catch stuff. mortal gain was such a better idea and fit ares way better.

[robust basin]

Isn't it some literary major book or something?

[prisma monolith]

Mortal gain was goated

[distant hull]

That said

Blood drops > Plasma

[prisma mountain]

What about old hera cast that's basically an instant room clear

[robust basin]

It was unique and DANGEROUS! so cool

[neat frigate]

Hades 2 tomorrow… enjoy hestia while you still can

[worn island]

I will say that Ares legendary boon with mean streak is just a busted combo and I love it

[minor pivot]

One more sleep before release

How could I not but be a happy man

[keen thunder]

whats happening with hesia?!

[graceful sundial]

that was my favorite interaction of her boon. being able to curse everyone no matter tha range? bro I miss that cast.

[scenic jungle]

People think shell get nerfed

[prisma monolith]

Were kidnapping her

[civic charm]

bro what

[fallen hazel]

So, uh, how many hours 'till the release? I assume it releases at the same time world wide, but no idea when.

[graceful sundial]

do you guys think hestia will get nerfed? wait why.

[distant hull]

Roughly 21 hours

[civic charm]

12am tmrrw

[worn island]

Its midnight est iirc

[prisma monolith]

Like how do they manage to spell it differently in both occasions

[graceful sundial]

21hrs here... south america

[graceful sundial]

blood drops is SO more fitting for a GOD OF WAR.

[distant hull]

Hestia is lowkey the goat for damage, strongest god in the roster if you're not in a hurry imo

[spare brook]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[fallen hazel]

21? Daaamn... It's 9pm here, so I was kinda hopeful, but oh well. It's sleep and work before it's out.

[keen thunder]

Hestia is very strong if you get the scorch effects deal damage faster boon. There are certainly combos that can put out more damage, but a scorch build is very strong for having so few pieces and being so easy to use

[distant hull]

THE MAN IS LITERALLY DRIPPING BLOOD
HE LOVES IT

WHY ARE WE ONLY GETTING THE PLASMA, GIMME THE IRON

[neat frigate]

I’m just playing but rivals scylla is 100% getting nerfed (please)

[hybrid gulch]

Hopeful? There's a map in one of the channels showing the exact release time in each region

[meager garden]

hestia op

[spare brook]

Hestia + Aphodite is absurdly strong

[minor pivot]

Btw, release will get us the ending right? you think they will do a major update along the release?

[raven perch]

It’s blood plasma

[meager garden]

prob not but who knows

[cursive kayak]

<t:1758816000:f>

[fallen hazel]

Oh? I'll see if I can find it

[minor pivot]

Like new bounds ect ?

[graceful sundial]

even something like bloodsheed score would sound better than plasma

[distant hull]

I doubt it'll be anything major balance wise, but I expect we'll get a lot more content than we think at first

Golden Rule come back

[graceful sundial]

no!

[keen thunder]

Can't wait to see Zag again

[covert badge]

the old geyser spout

[distant hull]

Yeah, I know. But the flavor of it all is still lesser imo, blood is blood, plasma is just a small part of it. Weird choice for ares to not stick with blood as a whole

Only reason I can think of is that plasma is much easier to see

[robust basin]

Yeah pronto had been spamming complaining about Ur schylla... I really hope they keep it

[hybrid gulch]

yeah that one

[meager garden]

I can't wait for zag to get 1 voiced line and nothing else

[distant hull]

Don't even play with that man

I miss my boy

[neat frigate]

It was definitely not just pronto lol

[worn island]

Zag secret boss maybe? (Im huffing that copium hard)

[neat frigate]

If they fumble zagreus’ presence in this game I’ll be so mad

[graceful sundial]

bro I remember hera x heph duo... attacks and specials deal more damage while not empowered by boons. as a duo boon....

[little frost]

blood was too hard to see lmao

[meager garden]

dw they confirmed playable zag (no they didnt)

[keen thunder]

my insane pipe dream is that we get to rescue zag and then can play as him XD

[worn island]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-attorney-phoenix-wright-objection-capcom-gif-20965907

[meager garden]

plasma is too hard to see!

[distant hull]

I think at best Zag may be a summon/hex enhancement

It'd be cool to have Mel shout "ZAGREUS!/BROTHER!" And get him as a cut in

[graceful sundial]

and do I recall correctly or aphro x hestia duo used to be something like hot flesh? we would get more shades around the map

[jaunty marsh]

No playable Zag, no Zag boss, it's Melis game, he can be a recurring NPC at most.

[unique abyss]

1.0 tomorrow, woohoo! 🥳

[cursive kayak]

my guess is that zag will be a crossroads npc

[neat frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/writing-fire-gif-523038869044733220

[distant hull]

Well yeah naturally

[worn island]

Yeah id say NPC is most likely

[neat frigate]

I just hope he gets a cool keepsake

[meager garden]

zag as a familiar?????????

[cursive kayak]

as much as i love zag, i do not want zag to take away from mel’s spotlight

[graceful sundial]

lmao

[jaunty marsh]

Zagreus found dead in Miami

[worn island]

Do we get to give him treats?

[meager garden]

Playable Cerb confirmed

[worn island]

They better let me pet cerby

[graceful sundial]

i kinda dont want zag to steal mel's time to shine honestly. girl has been training all her life... let her get her vengeance

[worn island]

Like screw zagreus chronos can keep him if I cant pet the puppy in 1.0 I dont know if my 279 hours have been worth it

[meager garden]

... and then after Meli saved Zag, he became the protag of the story, defeating typhon and chronos in the same night, and saving the house of hades and olympus in one fell swoop!

[distant hull]

Like we can't have Zag go try to beat up Chronos like Mel, as he's not a witch, he can't make himself immune to time freeze. So to see him in the field I imagine he'd need to be in a support role and that's about it

[worn island]

He also cant be on the surface

[meager garden]

he can if he believes

[distant hull]

Cerb will allow us to pet him once hades and zag are safe and not a second before

[graceful sundial]

poor persephone this woman isn't allowed to have kids and enjoy her motherhood

[candid geode]

Motherhood denied

[meager garden]

hades 3 will have playable persephone going sicko mode

[worn island]

I hope if we get anything out of zag its a keepsake like the one hades gives to zag at the end of 1

[distant hull]

I can see Mel being able to use the same incantation she used on herself to give Zag some extra time as well, but neither of them can say indefinitely so I don't think it'd be much of an issue storywise

[candid geode]

Zagreus going to Olympus via Mel Incantation canon

[graceful sundial]

imagine zag being grounded in his bedroom all this time

[meager garden]

zag and chronos have actually been hanging out and having tea while waiting for mel to show up

[sharp cosmos]

As soon as Zag is able to go the Surface, he'll rise to Olympus and challenge Dyo to a drinking contest. And just stay there forever

[distant hull]

And then canonically getting absolutely bodyslammed by Typhon every time, but damn if the boy won't keep trying.

It just occured me the idea that Zag tries to help by going the opposite route of Mel every night and every time he just gets mollywhopped and sulks a bit, that'd be funny af

[graceful sundial]

I hope we'll get ingame models for the other gods too! So far we've got Zeus, athenas, hermes, dyo...

[candid geode]

dont forget hera too

in one of the behind the scenes it showed them working on an ingame hera model

[graceful sundial]

does she have an ingame model? i dont remember that

[hybrid gulch]

Personally I'm hoping every boon giver makes an in-game appearance by the end at some point. It was such a let down that we got a static image in the H1 epilogue

[distant hull]

Oh, by the way, speaking of gods and routes.

Is there an incantation to have pools of purging on the surface? There's a conspicuous empty spot in the Olympus area transition that I never figured out how to fill

[keen thunder]

It would be cool if they show up in person from time to time. Like if a legendary boon is offered then have them show up instead of being the glowy symbol thing

[graceful sundial]

I wish our most-damaging god would appear replacing ||Zeus|| from time to time at the ||Typhon|| fight

[meager garden]

not yet, maybe 1.0?

[hybrid gulch]

I would be kind of cool if it wasn't the same every time. An interesting idea!

[worn island]

Yknow there's only one issue with this game and its the lack of gambling. Frankly we need an underworld casino run by charon

[distant hull]

Hestia coming down with a Tommy gun and blasting Typhon full of red hot lead would be absolute cinema

[sharp cosmos]

||Heph would just come, bonk Typhon with his hammer, tell him to get lost, and then f off lmao||

[cursive kayak]

you knowwwwwww

if zag is the god of blood. what if it requires something from him to make purging pools on the surface?

[graceful sundial]

can you imagine our badass demeter raining down at ||typhon||? WITHER AND DIE

[meager garden]

isn't zag the god of public safety in the underworld

[distant hull]

Oh that's a cool little idea. Either him or Hades

[sharp cosmos]

Zag's the patron god of Osha ☠️

[graceful sundial]

||OI, typhon! see ya! BONK||

[hybrid gulch]

naw that's just like, his job 😄

[meager garden]

yeah that's how gods work

[hybrid gulch]

Technically it's something like "security advisor" I think

[distant hull]

That's his job description only, he's the god of blood otherwise. Which would make for great dialogue.

"Hello, wretches. Usual inspection, trying to escape my father's domain, you know how it is. I need to see your blood for safety reasons."
"But...We need our blood"
"So do I. For safety reasons. Shall we?"

[meager garden]

Chief White Hat

[candid geode]

Mel: ZAGREUS CREASE THEIR JORDANS

[graceful sundial]

OK OK BUT WHAT ABOUT... Hypnos? If the datamining is right, ||for sure he's involved in what's about to happen, right?||

[distant hull]

I wonder if it's canon that Zag got that post-game high rank in he House. He'd be an Unseen One then, right?

[sharp cosmos]

Chat, what are we feeling as the starting god with Twin Flames ? I dunno what to choose

[meager garden]

which aspect?

[distant hull]

Zeus torches is always fun, get static shock and go brrrrrrrr

[vital pecan]

we know what time the update is tommorow ?

[graceful sundial]

is it mels aspect? if so, just go poseidon + hera + ripple effect

[sharp cosmos]

Prolly Meli, not a big fan of the rest

[worn island]

Given Mel's status in myth as ||The Goddess of Nightmares|| id say hes definitely playing a role

[sharp cosmos]

Nice laid back uncle it is ! Thank you :)

[candid geode]

she has to live up to that title, right?

[halcyon trench]

Late on the convo but tbh I don't think Supergiant would throw Meli under the bus by having Zagreus take over the narrative, as that would just be bad storytelling. Even if at most, we can somehow play him somewhere, or have him as a support, Melinoë is the protagonist. Zagreus had his time, it's hers now.

[candid geode]

split the screen and suddenly make it multiplayer

[meager garden]

no it's time for Hades

they called the game Hades II for a reason

[graceful sundial]

so she's likely ||trapping chronos in his nightmares forever and torturing every now and then, right? imagine being sealed in your worst nightmares.|| what a vengeance

[meager garden]

can't wait for Hades II to come and win everything

[worn island]

If only there was some game where I could play as zagreus... they should really make something like that 5 years ago

[sharp cosmos]

Is that a JOJO REFERENCE ?!?!??!!

[keen thunder]

I think that is a good rationale for why the game continues after you finish the story

[halcyon trench]

Like 12:30 est

[sharp cosmos]

(I'm sorry)
Also, I was about to go for waves on attack, but Poseidon didn't offer it to me on pickup, and rerolling gave me Epic Unburied Treasure... Heroic amount of ressources here we go

[vital pecan]

ah so about 5 here then

[graceful sundial]

GRANDDAUGHTERRRRR 🫠

[robust basin]

Showing displeasure I believe there were also others, lilac for one, but spamming daily on the feedback channel that was mostly pronto

[spare venture]

i havent played since the firstmonth of EA. is it worth rstarting a new file or jsut continue? i have beaten the last boss a whopping total of 0 times btw

[raven perch]

Based on some footage it seems they removed the water spouts for UR Scylla

[vital pecan]

what do we think the chance is the reveal after we get the ending is we get to play as zag? ik people was talking about that last year maybe beiing a potentual thing

[raven perch]

I'd rather die. why would you want to play as Zag this is Mel's game. go back to h1

[candid geode]

i still think we are gonna fight zagreus

[vital pecan]

well that or a victory lap thing

[sharp cosmos]

God please no

[serene stone]

Definitely restart if you made more than a couple runs. Crafting and everything changed significantly.

[keen thunder]

If you haven't done very much and you haven't played in a long time, maybe a new file makes sense. I have done too much stuff for me to want to start over... unless they add a difficulty you have to toggle when you start a new save like with hades

[sharp cosmos]

Honestly, it seems that you weren't far enough in terms of progression, so I'd say restart and enjoy the early with the new additions

[robust basin]

Those were nasty... It is sad they removed them. Making them a little more dynamic would have been better.

[meager garden]

they should do it super smash bros style, and let me play as red from transistor as well

[vital pecan]

maybe so but u cant tell me being able to play as both characters with both there map layouts wouldnt be fun

[spare venture]

thx gang

[raven perch]

there can be a mod for that. i don't want it in the base game. i'm so sick of people fawning over zag

[sharp cosmos]

The water spouts are just terribly annoying during UR Scylla.

[long totem]

CHAT TOMORROWWWW IT'S TOMORROWW😭 😭 😭 😭

[vital pecan]

and sorry to say but zag is still the better character

[robust basin]

Most realistic idea, but I don't think it will happen

[jaunty marsh]

I mean, it wouldn't be fun because all the systems are designed around Melinoe so unless they basically remake the game ground up for him then, no, it'd be awful.

[keen thunder]

Yeah how cool would it be if they pulled the same thing Monster Train 2 did (if you know you know)

[meager garden]

I think Zag is gonna be the final boss, he did this to test the security of olympus

[long totem]

Maybe for a third game... but why the fk in this one?

[merry whale]

me when zag double dashes

[vital pecan]

he atelast needs to make a apperance

[robust basin]

As always. King

[candid geode]

ah, sibling bonding
[cut to them fighting eachother]

[meager garden]

it's like devil may cry
siblings be fighting

[robust basin]

Well the alternative is worse

[worn island]

If we do fight him it might be like the fates manipulating him on command of chronos

[neat frigate]

Deserved

[meager garden]

he did already, that's more than enough screentime

[candid geode]

what a better way to get to know your long lost brother by beating him into a pulp

[robust basin]

Devil may cry three! GOLD

[worn island]

Okay genuinely though why are so many people against the idea of him being there nearly at all

[serene stone]

I mean, she already does that with the family pup though.

[robust basin]

Annoying the creators whining loudly to make them change the game?

Hmmm... Not really.

[keen thunder]

only because Cerberus has the zoomies and needs to be put down for his nap

[jaunty marsh]

I don't mind him being a recurring NPC, I just don't want him playable or as a boss.

[serene stone]

Not against him being in the game. But against him being a playable character.

[meager garden]

you should nerf rivals scylla

[raven perch]

Mate what do you think feedback is for

some people seam to think mell is better. where i dissagree and think zag is a lil better i like both characters so i wouldnt be against either of them being the main. i just dont see why having him as a optonal character even if he only has 1 weapon and super would still be a nice addition

[serene stone]

...also why does it feel like this comes up whenever the protagonist is a fem char... side-eyes Witcher 4

[keen thunder]

I don't have issues with rival scylla, I always have much harder time with rival Cerberus

[meager garden]

why can't I play as roach

[long totem]

As long as he's there I'm happy lol npc, playable, WHATEVER JSUT LET ME SEE MY SONNN

[glass cloud]

that case is specially funny considering said character was already playable in TW3 and a protagonist in the books

[neon isle]

persephone would like to have a word with you

[long totem]

And let him bond with his sister

[robust basin]

Are we equating leaving a message with whatever you think to reposting basically the same message everyday?

[sharp cosmos]

She's too powerful, the game would've been a point & click

[worn island]

At the end of the day people just hate anything with a female lead, straight up saw people in the live chat saying the game is woke because woman playable

[long totem]

I shall tell her I'm but a matchmaker for him Than and Meg

[finite talon]

I think it comes up when there's an established beloved character that isn't the protagonist anymore. Don't see what it has to do with female characters

[raven perch]

If you're thinking that hard, yeah. If the UR Scylla thing was so significant to be brought up so often then it should be brought up so often

[vital pecan]

its not that a femial cahrtacter is bad far from it i like mel i just think it would make for a nice unlock having playable zag even if its not 100% as playable as the first game like idk have him as a ultimate trinkitet where u can turn into him for a few seconds or something.

[meager garden]

wait does ciri ride a roach too or does she call hers another name

[merry whale]

i prob already pissed them off with my feedbacks lmao

[worn island]

Fun fact, stories progress! This typically means that characters, even the main one, will change. Hope this helps!

[neat frigate]

Do you think they made the feedback channel for giggles

[meager garden]

honestly yes

[raven perch]

It's because the people who say these things often don't care about the protagonist of the new game because it's a woman. It's not just "oh, I just prefer the original one better" it's often "I prefer the original one because I can relate to him more, as a man. Women are just so unrelatable"

[keen thunder]

Maybe Zag can show up in place of Nemesis sometimes

[robust basin]

I don't understand this message

[sharp cosmos]

Opinions of people like this shouldn't be listened to, and it is my personal belief that any form of interaction with such characters is not worth it.

[serene stone]

I never see it with male lead games that had a previously established female lead. Not once. But Witcher 4 and now in here... shrug

[raven perch]

I can't even think of a single series that would satisfy that too.

[finite talon]

Besides the point. Mel and ciri are worthy characters to continue the series. But that won't stop people from wanting to see more of their old favorites

[meager garden]

are there games that go from female lead to male lead? can't rly think of any atm

[robust basin]

Are you one of those people that spams on streams till the creator acknowledges you?

[glass cloud]

unfortunately people are a bit too attached to the past and don't wanna see a series progress

[raven perch]

This is different because the feedback channel exists for people to spam the creators? They invited feedback, they want These reactions

[vital pecan]

Hmm people seam to be being a bit toxic in here rn so ill try again later. always seams to happen just before a update goes live

[worn island]

Fair fair, I suppose even god of war gets complaints from the same crowd when its literally the same character though so yknow, things happen

[robust basin]

Cool question... The only thing I have in mind is doctor fourteen to doctor fifteen but that doesn't really count

[rose cave]

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0VLX6dyBdWU&feature=shared not blaring this song when I come home for Hades 2 tomorrow

[finite talon]

I mean, it works for those two because all of those characters are good. It doesn't work when it's just for the hell of it. Just have to look at all those Hollywood fem swapped flops

[neon isle]

what?

[serene stone]

Fair, I suppose Final Fantasy could kind of fall into that category.

[meager garden]

wait does Nier A count? sorta?

[glass cloud]

yeah but final fantasy is more of an anthology which never stuck to a protag

[neon isle]

"just for the hell of it" i hate to break it to you but people are also women irl just for the hell of it

[long totem]

Why are we having steam community slop debate in here

[serene stone]

Like which?

[sharp cosmos]

Nuh-uh, women aren't real

[meager garden]

I think FF6 was the first game to have female leads? and even then it was more of an ensemble cast

[long totem]

Both Mel and Zag are awesome can't we agree on that

[glass cloud]

kinda but it switches back to a woman in route C

[cursive kayak]

i want this game to first and foremost be about melinoë. but her family isn’t a point that can really be ignored, and zag is her brother. he’s one of the people she’s getting vengeance for. not having him at all would be strange to me

[long totem]

FF XIII my beloved

[neon isle]

i think zag having an appearance would be nice and tie up the story, i dont see a good reason for him to be playable

[cursive kayak]

oh playable??? absolutely not lol

[serene stone]

I want Zag too, I suspect we'll meet him after defeating Chronos in one way or another.

[cursive kayak]

people who want playable zag should just play hades 1

[keen thunder]

end of the day, there are legitimate reasons one could prefer Zag to Mel, and there are also sexist reasons. You can't automatically label it sexist unless people aren't even willing to give Mel a chance or there is a pattern of similar behavior.

[finite talon]

Ocean's 8, that Ghostbusters reboot. Abysmal movies, no thought was given apart from "girl powah!". Terrible uninteresting characters all around

[sharp cosmos]

The initial stake of this convo was having the finale of Hades II playing Zagreus

[long totem]

I don't think he'd work as playable in Hades II

[serene stone]

But I don't see how Hades 2 even needs more playable chars. Hades 1 didn't have.

[cursive kayak]

oh ew why??????

[glass cloud]

why bother having him playable if we already had a whole game all about him. it doesn't make any sense at all

[meager garden]

I mean I said it as a joke lol

[neon isle]

theres something to be said about tokenism in representation but its also fine for characters to just be anyone

[serene stone]

Oh, fair. No interest in either series so I forgot they existed xD

[wintry dagger]

I don't want playable Zag, but I do want Zag to be the final secret familiar and feed him scooby snacks to upgrade him

[finite talon]

I think zag having a fun cameo would be sufficient

[graceful sundial]

TLOU, dishonored (from corvo to corvo and emily then billie lurnk).. MB it was female to male.

[meager garden]

Zag should be a keepsake
I should be able to equip zag

[neon isle]

we should be able to feed zag a satyr sack

[robust basin]

I never viewed spamming of any kind in any positive light and to me the sentence "invite spamming" makes little to no sense. I understand that they invite feedback, but having a bot repeating the same message over and over just clutters the chat and nothing else.
Maybe it is one of those things I just cannot get.

[meager garden]

yeah, DYNO

[worn island]

Yknow what i know about women? Theyre pretty, i enjoy kissing them. Now anyways Zag and Mel are both fire characters and disagreeing means youre wrong and probably silly, I will not be agreeing to disagree.

[long totem]

I want to be able to throw a bunch of nectar at him AND GO FISHING TOGETHER

[neon isle]

i think being too enthusiastic and annoying isnt grounds enough for a ban if thats the claim thats levied

[sharp cosmos]

I'm afraid humor was lost through the text, especially since the topic grew around it.
But it reassures me that it wasn't a serious take

[neon isle]

but also its a public discord server at the end of the day so they can do whatever moderation they want

[meager garden]

also playable zag has been a meme since EA launch

[sharp cosmos]

Being annoying, repetitively, brings bad vibes to the server, and to foster a good mood, I'd totally see it as reasons for removal

[keen thunder]

I think one reason it could be neat is so that we can combine hades 2 boons with hades 1 weapons for instance. It would allow more variety. but they can't just take the old weapons as-is and port them over because they would need omega effects among other things. But, most of the work is there already.

[neon isle]

shrug i suppose

[serene stone]

I mean, you may have meant it as a joke, but some folks probably were serious about it. xD

[meager garden]

I want zag and than to come back so they can kiss

[robust basin]

No because Nier replicant comes first, then we have nier automata. Also maybe the time skip makes it impossible to want the other character?🤔

[long totem]

Yes, yes I agree I hope they are together as npcs

[sharp cosmos]

Most of the work's here ? All of Zag's weapon don't have any design for omoves

[serene stone]

I hope we get a 3rd game. Where maybe we can pick who to play.

[long totem]

Than, Meg and Zag together and they kiss in the crossroads

[meager garden]

I hope they do another, more unique genre next time

[worn island]

Cant wait for Had3s

[robust basin]

You take that BACK!

[distant hull]

Yeah he can't omega but he got DOUBLE DASH BABY

[meager garden]

I kinda feel roguelike fatigue after like, 8 years of their golden age

[little frost]

strand like 🔥 kojima comes on board

[graceful sundial]

I hope they just move on from Hades now. I think the story will be over after Hades 2, if it so happens as the dataming showed us.

[serene stone]

...Honestly I just already know I'll dislike being through Hades 2. xD

[keen thunder]

Hades 1: multiple queer and pan characters 👍 . Hades 2: A WOMAN? Now they've gone too far! 👎 </s>

[wintry dagger]

the whole polycule just splashing in the hot spring every so often giggling

[robust basin]

Perfect Hellenic representation!

[serene stone]

Can't wait for whatever project comes next though.

[sharp cosmos]

I hope that whatever comes next, they'll be proud of their project and happy to work on it. Seriously, dev's happiness and wellbeing goes a hella long way for the final product

[neon isle]

its problematic to have women in video games because it reinforces gender stereotypes; the only true representation is gender abolition

[meager garden]

I hope they get hella paid so they can afford to live in san francisco

[cursive kayak]

all characters are enby now

[sharp cosmos]

Damn, Face wishing hell on people

[meager garden]

their office is in SF though

[worn island]

Its problematic to have games in games because they reinforce game stereotypes, the ony solution is unlimited games but no games

[keen thunder]

All characters should be featureless blobs with no identifying characteristics

[graceful sundial]

hades 3 will have a genderless shade as a playable character just wandering through tartarus

[neon isle]

like silksong from hornet knight

[cursive kayak]

nono, hell is in michigan

[uncut galleon]

they asked us not to discuss datamining on here btw (just saying since this is the second message you wrote mentioning it)

[vagrant mauve]

Hades 2 is launching soon

[worn island]

No no, i live in ohio and can confirm, hell is here

[covert valve]

But then...how will I, a woman, respectfully admire the way other women look...

[neon isle]

what if the shade was a witch in elysium looking for her lost cat

[graceful sundial]

oh thanks, wasnt aware of that. I'll keep in mind :)

[distant hull]

The only real way to enjoy games is to see them only in your mind's eye, through the platonic ideals of both perfect representation and exciting gameplay, everything else is just lazy tbqh

[vagrant mauve]

Can't wait to see endings

[cursive kayak]

also as an ohioan…… yeah that’s true

[wise ledge]

<t:1758816000:R>
Soooooooooon

[covert valve]

I'm not an American, but I've heard people describe New Jersey as hell a lot

[cursive kayak]

nono hades 3 will be a tower defense game of hades’ perspective from game 1, trying to stop zag from reaching the surface

[serene stone]

...damn I told myself not to get too hyped up. Now I can't wait the 22 hours xD

[worn island]

The only place im good at mortal kombat

[meager garden]

dungeon keeper spiritual successor? please?

[uncut galleon]

finally, sgg will make the true "spiritual successor" of disco elysium

[serene stone]

Oh gods... been a while since I thought of that.

[worn island]

Since donkey kong now has a rougelike mode, full 3d collectathon platformer for hades 3

[graceful sundial]

a roguelike tower defense game like... the tower?

[granite mauve]

😭 😂

[distant hull]

Something something Hades 3 is just an endless loop of Hades doing menial paperwork, the entire game is 2 screens and about 10 voice lines, with he entire gameplay being "Hold to sign"

It'll be cinema

[meager garden]

sgg could make a fire rpg

[graceful sundial]

the defeat screen would be there should be NO escape

[robust basin]

@meager garden so the only example I found is a spin off of horizon zero dawn called "call of the mountain"
Apparently there are other games that tried it but most of them changed their plans in production or just straight up cancelled the game

[worn island]

Finally, playable hades

[graceful sundial]

give us a game in which we play as hypnos and should trick hades into thinking we're actually doing our work...

[robust basin]

Actually there is one. Do you want me to find the name?

[meager garden]

sgg should make a 4x game next

[worn island]

Yknow so many game titles are just
Video game: [Verb] of the [Noun]

[granite mauve]

Hades 3: return of the greatshields

[worn island]

In this light i petition to rename hades to Hades: Divination of the Dash

[merry whale]

i heard they nerfed torch special

[neat frigate]

I think it’s silly to frame putting feedback in the feedback channel as “whining to make them change the game”

[meager garden]

aren't most video game titles just: [Noun]

[merry whale]

ig torch scorch spec meta reigns supreme now i can ignore the aspect even more

[cursive kayak]

im gonna kms

[robust basin]

I didn't say that.
I said spamming the same message everyday till you see the change you want is bad.

[hallow crest]

I played 15 hours already and only killed chronos once, with alot of stuff still locked but having done a fair bit, when v1.0 releases should I keep going or do I restart?

[pseudo wing]

in hades 3 we should play as a suspiciously spartan-shaped demigod with red mark and pale skin, and instead of getting boons from the olympians we will be fighting them

[worn island]

Boy have I got a series for you

[blissful karma]

well indie games tend to be named in 2 ways: "the x (of) y" or "x"
so "the binding of isaac" is an example of the former and "delatrune" is an example of the latter

[meager garden]

keep going prolly

[robust basin]

Nah, keep going.

[merry whale]

fr lmao, got target nerfed like momus

[neat frigate]

I didn’t even see it that much lol most of the repeat messages I saw from him were about unseen

[robust basin]

The update?

[merry whale]

now if they fix poseidon icd on torch spec i'll be fine actually

[neat frigate]

No the arcana card

[meager garden]

nerf unseen

[neat frigate]

Pronto really doesn’t like the unseen arcana card

[worn island]

Begging supergiant to please make other options actually stronger instead of just nerfing all the fun stuff

[meager garden]

too bad, 3 more strength nerfs

[neat frigate]

Is the poseidon icd even that slow that it affects torch special

[robust basin]

Truly... Too powerful

[merry whale]

yes, esp with hidden helix

[meager garden]

actually no, they should nerf DDs to equal strength's level of power now

[neat frigate]

I reaaaalllly don’t think the poseidon icd is an issue on anything but pan i think people really overexaggerate it

[crude dragon]

BRB changing my handle to "The post-nerf Unseen Arcana"

[robust basin]

Being 50% 50% strength back!

[meager garden]

yeah they should buff the poseidon ICD by making it bigger

[neat frigate]

I don’t know the numbers though

Strength is fine but I wish there were boons for it

[merry whale]

strength needs more npc gifts fr

[neat frigate]

There are like 10 death defiance related boons it wouldn’t kill them to have 2 or 3 that buff strength

[plain shale]

Wait what is the perks of || vow of rivals || (put spoiler tag since new players are here for 1.0)

[rare chasm]

Hey guys, do you know if the game will have new content with the v1.0 version ? Or it's gonna be the same as the current content ?

[crude dragon]

They're alternate boss fights

[meager garden]

remix fights

[neat frigate]

They should at the very least disable path of stars nodes that are DD related if you’re not using it

[pseudo wing]

free fear level

[meager garden]

idk they said it's just story stuff

[plain shale]

Ok thanks

[crude dragon]

"Free" fear once you've learned the new fights, at least

[worn island]

An easier eris fight as well

[neat frigate]

I hope they change rivals Eris to not spend half the fight being invulnerable

[merry whale]

i feedbacked that at some point, hopefully it does get checked

[crude dragon]

Same but Hecate

[neat frigate]

Ehhh hecate is only in between phases

[merry whale]

eris is a dps burst check i think eris is fine, it's hecate that's ass

[meager garden]

rivals eris kinda underwhelming

[neat frigate]

Eris is so hard to speed kill because she’s just off screen most of the time

[worn island]

Guys you dont understand, if the boss isnt invulnerable for most of the battle they cant hit you with random frame precise moves

[crude dragon]

No, she isn't. Wolf Howl makes her invuln, and she teleports a lot more in the Rivals fight

[merry whale]

o yea rival eris needs a powerup

[robust basin]

I respected so much people who run extreme measures as a standard heat as I could had never. Now I cannot go without vow of rivals. So cool and fun

[neat frigate]

Teleportation isn’t invulnerability

[merry whale]

i only ran em3 cuz it made theseus easier

[worn island]

EM is like required reading past a certain point in H1 imo

[neat frigate]

I only ever really ran em2 in hades 1

[robust basin]

Did it actually?😮

[neat frigate]

Em Champions scared me a lot

[meager garden]

I ran EM4 because music

[rare chasm]

Ok ty, will pass till next content update then 🙏

[crude dragon]

He doesn't have a shield until 25% HP, when he transitions to his Call phase

[merry whale]

yea, super easy to cheese p2 phase and em theseus can't block in p1 like he can in normal

[robust basin]

Yeah but I am not a pro player. I am casual😭 I cheesed 16 fear

[meager garden]

there probably will not be a content update after 1.0
this is it

[granite mauve]

em theseus is definitely nice but asterius is scary, still nearly always worth using

[robust basin]

Oh!!!!!! That is why it felt so much nicer!

[neat frigate]

Hopefully there’s still a handful of balance patches, at least in cases of something being really bad or way too strong

[crude dragon]

However, in exchange, you got Super Saiyan Asterius

[robust basin]

Makes so much sense. Good design

[neat frigate]

Nothing rn is too strong I don’t think to the point of needing a nerf

[granite mauve]

his charge attack is horrifying on forced overtime 2

[neat frigate]

Besides the Medea lightning ring bug but that’s cause it’s a bug

[crude dragon]

The one where he becomes a buzzsaw?

[jaunty marsh]

They could probably still do some work on Heph but that's about it.

[worn island]

Which is exactly why 14 boons will be reworked or removed entirely (no one asked for this but they did it anyways) /j

[granite mauve]

the one where he runs at you and you have to make him hit the wall

[crude dragon]

Nah, Ares desperately needs love

[neat frigate]

If asterius was in hades 2 he would just be normal zone 3 enemy

[meager garden]

asterius is in hades 2

[granite mauve]

the buzzsaw attack is also scary

[crude dragon]

Oh, right. He can turn on a dime in EM3

[neat frigate]

When

[blissful karma]

speaking of bugs, has anyone else had a problem with the dora incantation disappearing from the cauldron? I hope it's fixed in 1.0 but yeah

[meager garden]

he's basically UR prom

[crude dragon]

Champions Arcana :3

[neat frigate]

True

[pseudo wing]

i wish the timer didn't ran in-between fights, i skipped so many seeds and fish ponds it hurts my things-always-collecting soul so much

[worn island]

They can work on hephaestus, Ares gets plenty of love from hephs wife as it is

[meager garden]

I heard of this bug as well, hopefully fixed

[neat frigate]

Oh man only one more day until we find out what the contest of champions is 🙏🙏🙏 I am sooo curious

[granite mauve]

it pauses while fishing though

[meager garden]

running to fishing costs me 1 second though that's a time loss :((((

[crude dragon]

While true, Ares's base kit has gotten nothing but nerfs to the point where he feels like the only thing he has going for him is Grievous Blow

[granite mauve]

contest of champions was fake the whole time!

[pseudo wing]

yeah, i just feel so rushed and sometimes the fish is too far away from the exit, even if its just 2 seconds worth

[merry whale]

wonder if they fixed timer ticking between chronos p2 and p3

[robust basin]

Probably inside Hypnos

[worn island]

Totally agree, the gap between his introduction power and his power now is truly sad

[sharp cosmos]

After reviewing some reconstruction, I too, can attest that Asterion is inside Hypnos

[worn island]

That sounds wrong

[robust basin]

I hate my own phrasing

[static cypress]

you guys starting a new save for tomorrow or keep to the early acc save?

[blissful karma]

Hypnos wakes up and says "You know Mel, I know I'm free from the curse but my mind feels weird, like there's a Friend Inside Me!"/j

[pseudo wing]

i read it as Astarion at first and was like 'wow weird ship'

[worn island]

Im gonna [LOSE MY MIND]

[jaunty marsh]

New save to experience 1.0 as intended.

[vital pecan]

Iv been sat here thinking about that but i dont think they gonna change the early game alot mainly its the endgame thats beeing added so idk might just carry on my current save rather than have to unlock everything again

[robust basin]

Keep early access... I'm not a bad player anymore, but I am nowhere that good of a player to grind everything again

[sharp cosmos]

I'll prolly get a new save, do the story as intended, and then go back to my old, I'm at ~110 nights (with all trials)

[robust basin]

"oh... Weird... I don't judge though... Very cool."

[crude dragon]

Starting a new save, my current one's kinda up a creek without a paddle

[sharp cosmos]

If we replace both horns of Asterius, is it still Theseus' ship ?

[pseudo wing]

in this household we don't judge crackships

[worn island]

Yknow who i ship asterion with? Myself. I want that vampire more than I can legally express

[sharp cosmos]

Well, there was certainly a more clever way to tell the joke, but I failed

[blissful karma]

i'm too committed to the save file i have i think, it'd just be a lot of resource gathering mostly

[crude dragon]

Although that means I have to re-grind Psyche

[robust basin]

That vocabulary makes one think otherwise

[rare chasm]

Oh
Didn't think of this brutal reality

[static cypress]

same idea here, kind of want to get all the dialog in the right places and stuff

[vital pecan]

Thing i dont like about having to start again is unlocking the heaven path. it was fine doing it once but was really annoying waiting for a single seed to drop

[crude dragon]

Yeah, I'd only expect numerical changes from this point onwards

[static cypress]

the resourse gonna suck a bit on a new save, true

[meager garden]

supergiant doesn't do foreverdev games like terraria or stardew does

[crude dragon]

Especially Grasp

[pseudo wing]

should i provide my proud jack frost/elza frozen badge?

[sharp cosmos]

Heaven Path, Eris Curse, Fate Curse... Some roadblocks feel artificial and forced tbh

[meager garden]

hee ho

[robust basin]

Wouldn't that be the most canon ship possible?😅

[sharp cosmos]

Stardew's dev is a powerhouse tho, an anomaly that shouldn't count when it comes to statistics.
The guy does everything, including the damn wiki

[crude dragon]

Nahobiho

[vital pecan]

other issue is i think i could probs beat a run in less than 5 runs now cus of how much iv played. kinda the issue with even replaying hades 1 once u got good at it cus the hole story of trying and failing to reach the end is alot shorter

[sharp cosmos]

I did this, but on my actual save file. Night 5 was Chronos' defeat

[worn island]

Hades 3 but its two seperate games focused on collecting underworld monsters that you have to connect to trade

[meager garden]

I still don't like eris's curse

[vital pecan]

i have beaten hades in 1 run on hades 1 before. feels dirty though to do

[sharp cosmos]

This is Nintendo, surrender your knees, now

[static cypress]

yeah.. easy to forget that damn grind when im 250h in now haha

[worn island]

Ah dang I knew buying that copy of pokemon water red would come back to haunt me

[vital pecan]

i like the hole losing and slowly making progress over many runs. like i remember when i finaly did beat him was also the same run where orpheus started singing. kinda dont get that happening if u can beat the game in less than 30 runs

[pseudo wing]

hades 3 but u r planting seeds, rizzing local nyx-born bachelors and bachelorettes and mining in the caves while fighting mobs in there- wait a minute...

[blissful karma]

Hades 3 but you have to invade other people's dreams to infiltrate their Palace to steal a treasure, and you can summon underworld monsters to fight for you and there's a cat mascot character

[robust basin]

HK ripoff

[sharp cosmos]

Also, winning too early on Hades I makes it weird from a story standpoint because you met Persephone before the flashback/dream of the reveal that Nyx ain't Zag's mother

[vital pecan]

legit hades 3 should be a coop game where u play as both zag and mel. and before anyone says "it wont work" theres legit a game out rn that is litraly hades but coop so i could se it working. just dont know how the story would go

[worn island]

Hades 3 but mel is accompanied by a talking dog and duck and has to defeat a heartless army while learning the value of friendship

[granite mauve]

hades 3 but it’s just hades 2 with horse armor that costs 3.99$

[meager garden]

hades 3 should be a game that doesn't exist imo

[worn island]

I mean like if the devs wanna make another im not gonna complain

But overall I hope they find inspiration with new projects, id hate to see a team that cares so much about their games get pidgeonholed as just "the hades studio"

[vital pecan]

They need a tv series at the very least

[copper wharf]

This is probably asked to death but do we have to restart a save for achievements or will they Auto sync when 1.0 comes out?

[meager garden]

no they don't

[meager garden]

you get most of them insta if you have a save

[vital pecan]

i reemmber even back with hades 1 people was asking for a animea. like the characters are soo good its a shame that we might not see them again after this

[copper wharf]

At what point? I just booted back up and didn’t unlock any even though I’ve done most of them it seems

[worn island]

To be fair, we dont know how long the end of the story of hades 2 is, at the end of hades 1 there was still the mission to get all the Olympians to get along, we still have at least 3 plot points to wrap up

[raven perch]

It's because the game's not out yet 😭 you won't get achievements until 1.0 drops

[robust basin]

The game comes out in 21 hours and 10 minutes

[meager garden]

1.0 isn't out yet

[blissful karma]

you never know, they could always take a break and make another game before going back to this world

[copper wharf]

Got it that makes sense, saw the achievements listed and got excited

[vital pecan]

Id be fine with that i just dont want to compelatly see the end of this world.

[robust basin]

We will have to kill all the gods one by one after the surface boss

[worn island]

Lowkey if they do i hope they do something similar to the percy jackson stories post book 5 where we see the roman incarnations of the gods and how their powers/roles change

[robust basin]

Wow... That does make those books sound exiting!:o

[vital pecan]

Like theres soo much in the heades world that could be expanded upon to be its own story. really hope they do more with it after they compelatly done with this.

[meager garden]

hot take: is the hades world even that interesting though?
greek myth really is everywhere

[worn island]

I mean, yes and no

[robust basin]

Damned netflix even cancelled Kaos...😒

[vital pecan]

put it this way i didnt care this much when god of war was coming out back in the day. still like that world but not as interested as this one

[raven perch]

It’s not lol. H1 was carried by Zag’s excellent characterization but everything else was not super groundbreaking

[meager garden]

some characters are pretty cool and not seen that often
and some characters show up literally every time greek myth is brought up

[robust basin]

It doesn't even need to be groundbreaking, but it wasn't even that deep. The cool part was that we got narrative an roguelite! Remove one element and it becomes boring...

[vital pecan]

yea and hermes was a joke in god of war

[sharp cosmos]

I'd say that the underworld was a good canvas enough for them to already have pre-characterized npcs, but still having some leeway due to the mythology writings being inconsistent and unreliable at times

[robust basin]

Reason for which they picked Zag and Mel as protagonists

[meager garden]

it's funny because I like Hades 1 for its narrative and Hades 2 for its roguelite, and I don't really care for the other part in both games

[cursive kayak]

well at least for hades 2 the story isn’t completely out yet

[sharp cosmos]

And I guess that if people wants Hades 3 now, it's not really about the mythology itself, but because they've grown attached to the characters and sgg's depiction of them, and can't let go

[worn island]

I like hades 2 because it let's me be a successful lesbian instead of a single one

[cursive kayak]

we’ve just gotten like side quests so far for the story lol

[vital pecan]

Im not sure cus i think the end gole in 2 is something im more wanting to see out than in hades 1 that was more just hey lets spend the day with mum

[meager garden]

yeah but I have lowkey low to mid hopes for 1.0 story

[thick coral]

it is one of my favorite versions of the mythology, despite not being that deep, i really liked their characters and dynamics

[raven perch]

No spoilers sadber Ry

[worn island]

How do you even quantify that

[vital pecan]

Your choices for greek myth things are this god of war and disneys herculies. now each has its own pros and cons but only hades has characters id want to see more of "well apart from hades in herculies"

[robust basin]

Does it count if I am sharing the judgement of a review?😮

[pseudo wing]

i had a thought that we could play as a human in h3 thats trying to save someone from the underworld or something like that, kinda switching sides against olympians. either that or hades 3 could be a prequel for one of the characters

[meager garden]

Epic? Homer's epics? Percy Jackson?

[robust basin]

Ok sorry

[thick coral]

i might be glazing here, but i liked this game more than alot of the books i read 😅 , like percy jackson, song of achilles, circe, piranese, blood of troy and so on

[worn island]

Well there's your problem you read song of achilles

[vital pecan]

all of witch are noowhere near as known as the ones i mentioned

[raven perch]

Madeline Miller’s books I do not like them. Percy Jackson I found hard to revisit because it’s a children’s book

[granite mauve]

lol are you serious

[meager garden]

that's a you problem at this point lol

[thick coral]

i wasnt a fan of it but i heard alot of people talking about it

[sharp cosmos]

And that's perfectly fine
At the end, matters of tastes are personal, and you shouldn't enjoy or not some stuff based on other's arguments

[raven perch]

Percy Jackson and Homer’s epics are far more consumed than GoW

[worn island]

Dawg what, HOMERS EPICS ARE LIKE SOME OF THE MSOT READ STORIES ON EARTH???? THEYRE UP THERE WITH LIKE, THE BIBLE

[robust basin]

Dude wtf...

[sharp cosmos]

Homer's epics are nowhere as known as God Of War ? Please say sike

[meager garden]

I had to read the odyssey in high school
there was no god of war class in high school

[robust basin]

Oh I am still reading Circe! It feels very nice!

[raven perch]

That’s cool!

[granite mauve]

my 11th grade English class covered Kratos journey extensively!

[worn island]

The city of Odessa in russia was named as such because Catherine the great was in love with Greek mythology, but please tell me how the game where an ashy white man kills the gods is more culturally impactful than the odyssey

[robust basin]

Homer has been read for 3000 years... Sounds like a winner.

[meager garden]

from god of war?
that's actually really cool

[robust basin]

That feels like bad oversight by the ministry of education

[meager garden]

can't argue with that

[sharp cosmos]

Odyssey even got to be a word in the english language, but I do not see "to kratos" in the list of irregular verbs I had to learn when I was 12

[robust basin]

We can try 🤔

[meager garden]

yeah but you know the words "God", "of", and "War" right?
where do you think those words came from?

[worn island]

My first college essay was an in depth breakdown of batman and how morality is subjective. The education system is a really, really funny joke

[thick coral]

batman is a really good character tho

[sharp cosmos]

From my pocket.
The left one.
They fell out, give them back please.

[granite mauve]

God of War should be required “reading” for every student

[robust basin]

Amongst the Hellenistic donations to the English language, and a lot of other languages, we also have tantalising, Sisyphean, Herculean... Hmmmmm

[vital pecan]

legit it should be. probs lost of peoples introduction to greek myth tbh

even assasisns creed as in the original ones is a good way to get into parts of history

[sharp cosmos]

I wish to choose to ignore what the reality is, and that shawbag's trolling.

[robust basin]

Well, there is a point to be made about the fact that culture didn't only happen in the past and it is still happening today in a lot of new types of media, but yeah, US education is interesting.

[vital pecan]

we get it u a nerd and perfer books to games its fine 😛

[sharp cosmos]

That's totally what I said, yes, absolutely.

[meager garden]

I learned about war from cod 3 so I guess I can't argue too much

[worn island]

A point I made! Lots of bats stories are products of their time, and just like society he has changed

[granite mauve]

hades 2 should be a book instead of a boring game 🥱

[vital pecan]

regardless of your opinon kratos is still a more memeraable charactrer than anything in your nerd books so there

[robust basin]

I only played the third and it was a funny hack and slash. I have the new one installed but I am scared cause everyone told me that the boy just ruins every puzzle

[worn island]

Opinion*

[vital pecan]

correction the right opinion 😛

[granite mauve]

They actually added a setting to make him shut up with the puzzle hints

[meager garden]

ragebait used to be believable

[sharp cosmos]

Imma retire to my man cave and play some more, I don't have enough energy to deal with that. Please don't get a job in education.

[robust basin]

You make it hard to make us fantasise on the idea that you are trolling

[vital pecan]

and this server use to not be filled with toxic argumentative people but there u go

[worn island]

They should add a setting that reminds you to touch some grass sometimes apparently

[meager garden]

I going to teach a course for pre-k about cod mw2

[robust basin]

Did you also mention how the reason we have the batman we have today is because of Tim Burton?

[thick coral]

even without atreus, the game's puzzles are atrocious, unless you specifically like annoying puzzles that take like 50% of the entire game

[robust basin]

OH MY GODS THAT IS PURE GENIUS

[meager garden]

chat is god of war more or less well known than the odyssey/the illiad

I actually don't know

[worn island]

Somewhat, because the batman we have today is also just as much a result of the dark knight movies

[granite mauve]

💀 💀 💀

[robust basin]

You mean the spoilering brat was a necessity?😭

[granite mauve]

the puzzles are fine honestly the Greek games had way worse puzzles

[tepid glade]

how many hours to the release

[meager garden]

idk

[robust basin]

Yes, but those movies have been possible only because of Tim Burton. Before that we had the "nananananananaBATMAN!" stuff

[thick coral]

eh i wouldnt say hes a necessity but it def helps if you get annoyed with the puzzles

[worn island]

Well let's put it this way, my mother knows who odysseus is, all she knows about Kratos is that I occasionally scream "ZEUSSSSSS" for no apparent reason

[scenic tinsel]

9

[crude dragon]

No, because the puzzles are generally easy enough that the boy, or Mimir, or the other party members don't need to butt in after 5 seconds

[meager garden]

yes but does she know what the odyssey is

[robust basin]

Well, amongst people with no education probably... 🙁

[worn island]

Yes

[tepid glade]

thanks mate

[meager garden]

ok good

[robust basin]

Oh... Boring... Sad... Sigh

[thick coral]

i think it purely depends on the generation, and among young people, i do think kratos is more well-known maybe? but for older people no

[tepid glade]

around the world homers works are more popular but in america i think its gow

[buoyant coral]

how many hours till the update ?

[tepid glade]

9 appearently

[worn island]

In fact I cant imagine many americans who grew up around the same time I did dont know of the odyssey, many schools require ot as a part of English 1 or 2 in HS

[meager garden]

did people in the 90s or so learn about greek myth in class or pop culture
we had some stuff like clash of the titans

[crude dragon]

21

[buoyant coral]

21 ? thats tomorrow at 6 ?

[scenic tinsel]

Actually it might be noon EST tomorrow. I thought it was midnight. Announcement page has times.

[robust basin]

Truth be told I also sometimes scream "ZEEEEUUUUUSSSSSS" sometimes when I hurt my pinkie toe... And so does Typhon.

[tepid glade]

oh ok

[cursive kayak]

yeah in my freshman year humanities class we were required to read the odyssey

[vital pecan]

I didnt even learn who homer was until i played hades 2 and i did greek myth in school. its just not as talked about

[meager garden]

when was that though?
I'm curious to know if it was part of the curriculum a few decades ago

[worn island]

Dawg are you sure you didnt just like, not pay attention?

[robust basin]

What horrible school have you went to?

[tepid glade]

why so late bro

[cursive kayak]

im only 24😭

so I guess a decade ago?

[vital pecan]

Thats like saying its bad if it didnt talk about norse myth witch is even less talked about than greek

[thick coral]

despite norse mythology being better ye

[meager garden]

bruh we're the same age I'm tryna find some proper millenials

[worn island]

Same here, had to write a paper about why odysseus killing astnyax was or wasnt a good decision (wild topic ngl)

[cursive kayak]

oh mb i didn’t see that context

[vital pecan]

the amount of people that iv spoken to that have either had thor or the new god of wars as there first time knowing about the 9 relms or viking myth is insane

[robust basin]

But we have so much less literature because of Christianity, but we have two books because of funny politicians writing fanfic of the gods with themselves in them

[thick coral]

yeah its sad man

i really like the characters in norse mythology way more than greek, especially loki lmfao

[meager garden]

chat how many people do you guys think learned about Thor for the first time through the MCU

[worn island]

According to my mother and uncle (in their mid 30s) they both learned myths in school, usually prometheus, orpheus and the odyssey if not the whole Trojan war, which is about the same amount I learned in school

[vital pecan]

i do agree norse myth is more interesting than greek. i mean imagen if hades had the 9 relms to play with that would make for a interesting rouge like

[meager garden]

that's pretty cool

[cursive kayak]

doesn’t odysseus only kill astyanax in like one version? usually it’s neoptolemus bc of achilles

[robust basin]

Dude, having greek myth as a class in school is so not common, but if you have such a class and you have never heard of the Iliad or the odyssey there, that is like saying you have Bible class but don't who noah or jesus are.

[cursive kayak]

(it’s interesting that u read that specific version is what im saying lol)

[thick coral]

im excited for the new odyssey movie man

[vital pecan]

ill tell u one thing i didnt have bible class i still know who jesus is

[meager garden]

hoping it's peak

[radiant apex]

less than 24 hours gang, how we feeling

[meager garden]

he's best known from a book that's younger than the odyssey, I'm pretty sure

[vital pecan]

i had greek class never once was homor or the iliad mentioned even once

[cursive kayak]

excited!

[worn island]

Its a toss up, as with most things in myth we're relying on shaky sourcing, but yes we read a version where specifically ody kills the kid

[radiant apex]

oh nice we successfully campaigned for a slow mode partial reversion, good work team

[meager garden]

dyno strikes again

[thick coral]

i had greek classes about a ton of stories and books, and my friend still dont know anything about greek mythology, i think the knowledge of class content purely depends on the student not the school

[worn island]

Forgot I cant say bad words here sorry dyno

[granite mauve]

we killed the moderators and amir offered us a reduced slowmode boon

[robust basin]

Then you had a subpar teacher.

[vital pecan]

its simple that people learn more from media like games and films than school.

[robust basin]

Murdered

[chrome wyvern]

I'm ready for the internet to collide into my body with Hades stuff

[meager garden]

you... might be right at this point tbh

[spiral canopy]

erm no. asking in a gaming server is gonna get you skewed results but I am pretty sure the general normie population does not know this video game

[thick coral]

among my friends yeah, since we all play video games

[worn island]

"Been reading this here bible but whos this jesus fella they keep talkin about"

[vital pecan]

how many people know about pirates ? the reason for that is we have one of the most popular film series being all about them. now how many people know about vikings ill tell u its not as many we have thour yes but im genualy conviced some people dont even realise thats a viking thing

[robust basin]

Usually yes, but you do hear so many horror stories about teachers that I am not sure anymore... Then if it is in the US where you don't even need a degree to teach it kinda starts to make sense

[granite mauve]

Judas seems like such a nice guy so far im going to read more tonight

[worn island]

Oh get ready for a suprise pal

[meager garden]

but the general normie population probably doesn't know the greek stories either which makes me wonder

[robust basin]

Yeah, but there's a reason education in a school is broad, so that you learn things you yourself wouldn't find easily without knowing they are there

[worn island]

I need some ambrosia

[vital pecan]

The education system sucks we alreayd know this. kids dont even get tought have to get a job or pay tax so yea of corse they not gonna learn about partrs of hystory

[spiral canopy]

its highly dependent on region and schools. i am millennial age and we went through the odyssey in an eng lit class and even had a project over it, but not all schools cover it.

[vital pecan]

only the really known about ones

[native bluff]

Have they said when unlock time is tomorrow? Was hoping to get a run or two in before work 😏

[tall sparrow]

Mods do guys know if there is a media kit / press kit for Hades 2 ?

[robust basin]

Oh yes conditional probability!

[chrome wyvern]

"Like what denomination we talkin here, like is this protestant, with the trinity, or like do we get Mary, is this catholic?"

[vital pecan]

u try asking people if they knew about homor or the iliad before hades came out and tell me how many there are the number will be less than the number that know about god of war

Not as common as u making out it is

[frank mulch]

[worn island]

This is like 4d trolling it has to be

[tall sparrow]

THANK YOU! ❤️

[cursive kayak]

yeah this is absolutely trolling lmao

you see, the real question is: how many young kids first knew the term “odyssey” because of super mario odyssey? im sure a substantial amount

[vital pecan]

Crist the dumb people in this server are giving me brain rot. think ill step away and just play the game trying to have a conversation around here with u dumb morons is impossable

[worn island]

I cannot bring myself to believe anything but a block of pure osmium could be this dense

[worn island]

"Disagreement" and its literally someone misspelling words while calling the rest of us stupid for pointing out a logical fact

[vital pecan]

Dont worry im done with this chat for now. people in here are just being toxic. cant even have a converstation without people think u trolling for daring to suggest that more people know about one of the most popular video games of all time more than a bit of greek myth that isnt as common

[robust basin]

Everyone around me knows who homer is. We all studied him in school.
Even I as a bad student can say
"Narrami o Musa del pelide Achille che infiniti lutti addusse agli Achei, anzitempo all'orco..." Ach i cannot remember correctly the words of the first sentence.
People studied these things. Believe or not not everyone plays videogames

[cursive kayak]

let’s move on

[frank mulch]

lets move on indeed

[robust basin]

If you say "kids" as in elementary or kindergarten, then I am not so sure..

[chrome wyvern]

I don't think it's outlandish to assume that an adult's curriculum could have dodged something like this, depending on where someone grew up. It's surpising, for sure, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility

[frank mulch]

kids as in people who owned nintendo consoles 😭

[indigo cypress]

I mean majority of kids basis for Greek myth is like Rick Riordan and that's it

[robust basin]

Rich kids😭

[crude dragon]

Dionysus only plays sports games, until he gets blackout drunk

Then he swaps over to the Sims

[robust basin]

Yeah going deeper is hard... Learning ancient greek is not at all comparable to learning Latin...😬 It's like learning Aussie and then reading shakespeare

[meager garden]

or maybe Zag plays league

[solemn fractal]

ares def only play CoD, athena has like 9000 hours into CK3 and is really into Macs, and since I hate Demeter she's a Nintendo apologist

“dad, i think they call that heterochromia.”

“what do you mean, im fine with gay people”

[worn island]

Fun fact! I have central heterochromia (the color of certain areas of my eyes is different from the rest) and my friend once called it "centrist heterophobia"

"Dora, look at my farm where I've created a neverending generator of ancient fruit wine to sell on the 17th of the month, which lines in perfectly with my excel sheet for the fairy rose honey generator that i created on ginger island. Now onto the next phase"

this feels like something out of disco elysium

[cursive kayak]

incredible

[granite mauve]

beautiful zag with homophobia ❤️ 💚

"Than, I'm not trying to become pushing buddies with you bro"

[worn island]

Bouldy keeping hades company is my favorite part of this game so far

[granite mauve]

bouldy is between a dog and a hard place

[worn island]

Bouldy is a hard place, hes a boulder

[granite mauve]

rock with a hard face

[worn island]

Its not just a boulder! It's iraq!

Frankly I must be honest, this game isnt pushing the gay agenda nearly enough, it needs at least 500% more lesbians

[merry whale]

kinda surprised the wards vow icon isn't light blue

[cursive kayak]

in ur screen it’s messed up idk why 😭😭😭😭

[merry whale]

Hades II (2025)

[solemn fractal]

cuz titan blood makes his weapons stronger, so what if chronos got stabbed with his sword?

[merry whale]

scylla & the sirens poly

[worn island]

He'd be a Crazin (cronos rasin)

[solemn fractal]

there is no one that loves scylla like cylla can

[merry whale]

odysseus,,

[solemn fractal]

jetty and roxy sure

[granite mauve]

[main lagoon]

I'll probably wait for physical release

[solemn fractal]

ur all ready romancing her, cuz she loves all her fans

just be careful when you lean in for a kiss

[worn island]

I remember seeing someone in the server one time saying they found Artemis hot and I wanted to reference Actaeon but everyone else beat me to it

[meager garden]

idk what that is but sure!

[solemn fractal]

hero that fell in love with artemis, proposed, artemis killed him

[meager garden]

oh!
great!

[broken glen]

“The worst she can say is no”

[solemn fractal]

oh not proposed accidentally peeked on artemis and died

his body was ripped apart by his own hounds

[worn island]

Thats one telling, the inciting incident has changed over time but generally its agreed he saw Artemis bathing and was turned into a deer (to keep him quiet) and devoured by his hunting dogs

[solemn fractal]

being a greek hero really did suck ass

[meager garden]

good thing greece isn't real

[solemn fractal]

ahhh that one makes sense mb

[broken glen]

I have bad news for you

[worn island]

I love how some Greek myths have morals like "sometimes even good people must break rules to help others" and others are like "you probably shouldnt look at artemis' booba"

[robust basin]

I believe all greek myths have the moral: don't mess with gods

[meager garden]

the greek gods lowkey are eldritch beings

[solemn fractal]

no lowkey about it, highkey eldritch beings

[broken glen]

Or, they’re just people who were given an absurd amount of power and are now power tripping

[cursive kayak]

“you shouldn’t be rude to your hosts and pig out, lest circe turn you into a pig”

“yeah zeus turned into a swan to seduce someone, what of it?”

[solemn fractal]

dinosyus's presence can literally drive people insane, zeus literally controls the heavens

[meager garden]

weren't they born with it though

[broken glen]

Yeah

[worn island]

I will remind people, some people still worship these gods, myself included, so please keep in mind these arent exactly like, characters in the way we might think of batman or superman yknow

[solemn fractal]

well when you do it it's bad, when zeus does it it's also bad but he has like the divine mandate of heaven so uhhh

[ashen merlin]

[storm stump]

You and everyone else is so real for that

[broken glen]

[meager garden]

wait do london and paris have different time zones

[worn island]

The gods were not divinely ordained to commit acts like that, theyre depicted as such because their stories were told by people like you and me who had their own problems, Greek gods reflected what was true, not what we might consider "moral"

[robust basin]

Same for Norse gods

[wintry dagger]

the ones who were turned into bees by Hera had it pretty rough

[robust basin]

I don't think there are people worshipping Slavic gods though

[cursive kayak]

i mean that’s sort of a broad statement

[broken glen]

I’m glad SGG uses the best timezone (PDT) as standard instead of so-called “global” time zones like GMT

[meager garden]

well it's because they work there

[robust basin]

Zorya, chernobog, belobog... Others I am not familiar with... What gods would you have in mind?

[cursive kayak]

i mean my thought was like. idk don’t assume people don’t worship certain gods and such anymore
