[prisma monolith]

Like 2 days ago

Nvm it was a week ago

[neat kettle]

gotcha ty

[prisma monolith]

In 7 hrs

[forest harness]

So I originally only played hades 2 on the original version or two of the open beta, and because of that, I want a new file so I can actually remember all the dialogue and whatnot, so now I'm wondering, is it worth starting now or will more super early game stuff be added in 1.0?

[fiery viper]

i was literally just about to ask that wow

[forest harness]

Pff

[neat kettle]

i see new achievments i dont recognize at all, so maybe?

[forest harness]

Oh also will we have cross saves?

[raven perch]

They will be almost no super early stuff

FAQ:

• Achievements are not earnable until 1.0, even though you can see them on the Steam page. Whether or not the achievments will be retroactive depends on the achievement itself, though some definitely will be.

• Your progress will be saved once you update to 1.0, but your Z-Sand and Void Lens resources will be converted to Prestige (decoration currency).

• The game comes out at <t:1758816000:f> (accounts for your personal timezone).

[forest harness]

I'm def considering buying hades 2 on my switch 2 as well then hmm,,

[neat kettle]

Z-Sand and Void Lens resources will be converted to Prestige ?..

why lol

[brave urchin]

6 hours 40 min.

[prisma monolith]

We are literally a couple of hours from 1.0, might as well just wait tbh

[little mason]

is it out yet?

[sharp cosmos]

Why not. Those don't have an unlimited usefulness

[brave urchin]

Prolly so we experience beating the bosses "first time".

[forest harness]

Eh well, either way I have more dying light the beast to play

[prisma monolith]

No

[sharp cosmos]

3 messages above my guy 😭

[prisma monolith]

Uh, im a gamer pal, reading ain't on the resume

[little mason]

do something about it

[forest harness]

Oh also did the final boss ever get an hp change from the og version? I remember it felt like their hp had insanely high scaling

[sharp cosmos]

Speaking of conversion to Prestige, will other ressources be convertible, should it be bosses one, or stuff like fate fabric ?

[prisma monolith]

Or else?

[covert badge]

cant wait for the game's too hard early bird review 🙂‍↕️

[prisma monolith]

As far as we know only sand and eyes

[prisma monolith]

Tbf olympus is hard af

[sharp cosmos]

Kinda sucks if true

[prisma monolith]

It is true. Devs said it

[vale basin]

Just releasee ittt

[prisma monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/jeonqmi-monkey-escape-gif-21816255

[sharp cosmos]

Just so we're clear, I'm not speaking of the ressource "reset" on update, but rather the possibility to trade those and more to the Broker.
I guess this doesn't change the answer but heh

[prisma monolith]

I still don't know why stuff like ign gets early access only for their articles to be clowned on

[glad barn]

today is the day aaaaaaa

[prisma monolith]

I mena you can go change it now if you want

Oh wait you cant

[sharp cosmos]

Well, not with stuff like Pearls, feather, or fate fabric
Hence the question

[prisma monolith]

Yeah you're right,oh well

[glad barn]

i am not done with silksong yet, i will have to choose between two excellent games. or split my brain in half and play both at the same time. what a problem to have!

[prisma monolith]

Suffering from success

[wanton wren]

Ohhh 6pm for me

I wont be able to update it on work so I can play it on my 2 hour commute home 🥲

Well, but I arrive at that time luckily

[prisma monolith]

Bros got 2 cakes but only 1 spoon

[vale basin]

do media had access to 1.0 already ? or just the early? I saw some reviews already but noone seems to even have complete the game

[sharp cosmos]

Also, thanks lad for humoring me, I could certainly have googled it, but asking here lets me control how much spoilers and news get to me

[prisma monolith]

Yeah lots of sites had access to 1.0, like ign

Wether they completed the game or not is irrelevant, it is the full release

[sharp cosmos]

You're expecting gaming journalists, especially IGN, to finish the main story ?

[prisma monolith]

Journalists just suck, at gaming and writing

The ign article called it a ROUGElite btw

Im so pissed at that

Like pick a struggle, you can't be bad at both, that's literally your job

[little mason]

God mode for journalists

[covert badge]

i watched ign gameplay and i thought they nerfed splash icd even more lol, actually its just high surf

[prisma monolith]

Dare I say, journalist mode

[uncut galleon]

journalists are often underpaod and have bad working conditions

like, if you have to be the first to release an article because clicks = money you're not going to have time to finish the game and correct every typo

you may not even card about the game you're writing about

[prisma monolith]

May? It is very clear they don't care

[lethal prism]

Hi, idk if this has been asked before(it probably has) but regarding the achievements, do we have to start over with a new playthrough or will we get all from the run we already have? Thanks in advance

[tepid glade]

guys if i dont start a new save will i miss much of the story i have already beaten chronos 2 times and typhon 1 times

[prisma monolith]

You won't have to start a new save

[uncut galleon]

that's why i stopped reading game journalism and also don't watch influencers

better to just interact with fans

[prisma monolith]

Worst case scenario you get some lines that feel out of place

[tepid glade]

So its not worth it?

[prisma monolith]

Only you can decide that, for me no, it isnt

[tepid glade]

aight then

[prisma monolith]

Some people do want to enjoy the story the way it was meant to be experienced, so for them it is

[kind oriole]

I personally will be restarting, since i think it'll be fun to go through the entire game with the finalised abilities & unlock them as I go, as well as get the whole story in one go, rather than trying to think back to the last thing I did in like may

[prisma monolith]

Like this^

[tepid glade]

Ok then i will restart

[prisma monolith]

I definitely wont

[kind oriole]

But I do fully support those who don't restart, as I didn't restart at all during the early access since I wanted to experience the new stuff faster, as naturally if you already have a save up to beating the final bosses, you'll see the new stuff faster and will have the recourses to support that

[prisma monolith]

If the game wasn't as grindy as it is, maybe I'd consider, but for me is not worth it

I wish I could restart the story from zero, but keep my upgrades

[kind oriole]

Yeah I think that's fair, I am going to start a new save, but I do think I might switch back to my prerealease save if I get annoyed lol

[stuck horizon]

I'll be staying on my main save file to see all the new stuff as soon as possible then I'm starting a fresh save file after that to do it all again with the full version of the game

[full flare]

I doubt this will happen since every1 already played silksong like 2 weeks ago and h2 is much easier until u go into high fears 😂

[sharp cosmos]

Yeah, same, even if that was just my keepsake collection, all available ones atm are maxxed

[kind oriole]

Yeah actually that would be ideal, but it makes sense why they don't do that

[prisma monolith]

Everyone? Damn you know every gamer? Does it count if I refunded?

[kind oriole]

This makes sense, that's pretty much what I was doing though early access

[prisma monolith]

I would like to keep my arcana and weapons, the rest can go

[full flare]

I mean I feel like the overlap in hades and hk is quite substantial, it's not meant to be read literally

[prisma monolith]

Both games are hard in different ways

[sharp cosmos]

That's a great Chaos above bell start, sounds like a win already (lie)

[kind oriole]

Yeah I think for me I want the weapon upgrades the most, momus lvl 5 is a favourite of mine

[prisma monolith]

Depends on what you're struggling with hades might feel harder than silksong

[stuck horizon]

Good luck and godspeed (you're cooked 💔)

[prisma monolith]

Yeah great chaos above took me a couple tries

[pale aspen]

Hey chat. Are we going to get a new keepsake(s) or is this unlikely

[sharp cosmos]

Confirmed we have some more

[prisma monolith]

Confirmed by who?

[sharp cosmos]

Journalist with access to 1.0 builds

[dreamy helm]

We prob will, there's Hades after all

[prisma monolith]

Oh shoot i guess I missed that one article then

[stuck horizon]

Probably Cerb too

[dreamy helm]

Mmm maybe but I kind of doubt it

[pale aspen]

Likely from Hades and/or Hypnos then

[kind oriole]

I've been ignoring the journalism to avoid the early spoilers & also the general boringness of those articles for me

[sharp cosmos]

I want a secret scene with Eris where she's in front of the cabinet and actually screws up the order of every single one of them

[prisma monolith]

I doubt cerb, my guesses are hades, hypnos, and the fates

[dreamy helm]

I just want my boy Hypnos to wake up 😭

[fresh valve]

u know what hour the game will release

[mossy tangle]

TODAY'S THE DAY

[prisma monolith]

Around 6 hrs from now

[sharp cosmos]

6h

[dreamy helm]

I mean maybe the fates are a villain for all we know

[stuck horizon]

Agreed, I also don't value the opinions of games journalists in general

[prisma monolith]

Why the hesh would chronos kidnap them, why would they save moros

[sharp cosmos]

Villain unlikely but antagonists wouldn't surprise me, as Melinoe keeps screwing with their design

[prisma monolith]

Chill out persephone

[kind oriole]

Yeah, it's not even that they are always wrong or anything, and people can look to them a little, but I think it's just a thing to not stress too much over, especially if you have already enjoyed the game

[dreamy helm]

Idk, Fates are kind of unpredictable as of now since we know nothing about them pretty much

[meager veldt]

zag or no zag

[dreamy helm]

Yeah, that's what I think too

[brave urchin]

I believe this too. They are the ones sending back Meli from the mountain for sure.

[kind oriole]

Yeah I think that the fates won't like us once we save them, especially with the going to Olympus thing

[dreamy helm]

Then again they kind of want Moros and Meli to be together and that's not rlly evil-like yk

[brave urchin]

There is no saving. They actually took over Zeus' temple for sure.

[stuck horizon]

The whole idea of the fates in the myths was that they're not inherently good or evil, sometimes they'll favour you, sometimes they won't, I don't see them being villains or anything but probably not best buddies either

[prisma monolith]

The fates are basically Bruno, they aren't bad or good, they just are

[brave urchin]

Transistor, Hades 1, Pyre all had peak endings, i doubt Hades 2 woun´t have another peak ending.

[kind oriole]

I think that's probably true, especially when you think about the entropy thing that we need to deal chronos again

[sharp cosmos]

Zag, but :

• He's enraptured with the Sirens and thus just give you the side eye once you beat 'em
• Is actually with Dyo partying, but won't even acknowledge you because he's piss drunk

[dreamy helm]

He could be the new supporting shade!

[pale aspen]

Does the theory of Hypnos being roused from his sleep to trap Chronos in an endless nightmare still holds water or nah

[prisma monolith]

But we already have the supporting shade

[brave urchin]

Zag 100%. He is after you beat Chronos. You meet him and Persephone and maybe even Nyx.

[prisma monolith]

Sadly this is the most likely scenario

[dreamy helm]

Yeah but it's not the same as in Elysium 😔

[hearty trout]

So what's Hephaestus good for?

[prisma monolith]

Wdym, is quite literally the same shade

[brave urchin]

I really don´t like this idea lol

[stuck horizon]

If nobody else got me I know My Good Shade got me

[prisma monolith]

I hate it, is so bad

It makes sense, but i still hate it

[brave urchin]

And it is very likely not true. Hypnos is prolly just some cool side quest.

[dreamy helm]

Maybe Hypnos is asleep protecting the Fates consciousness or something. Tbh the only thing I don't want for them to do is just making Hypnos being asleep for "comedy value"

[pale aspen]

Makes sense on a gameplay standpoint tho

[brave urchin]

Only in couple more hours and we can find out lol.

[kind oriole]

No I think hypnos is main quest, but I also think that it'll be something like you have to go into dreams to free zag & crew from being frozen in time by chronos

[prisma monolith]

Why do you think he's been cast aside the entirety of early access, and only now that the true ending is coming is when we get to see him, it inly makes sense

[brave urchin]

And its prolly totally different from what we think.

[dreamy helm]

Already hate the fact that I'm going to get spoiled by YouTube 😔

[prisma monolith]

Is someone holding you at gunpoint to use youtube?

[brave urchin]

Just do it like me, don´t go on social media 😄

[pale aspen]

Just dont open any app bruh

[prisma monolith]

Is literally that simple, don't go on youtube

[brave urchin]

I will grind Hades 2 for the next 3 days. No interaction with the internet.

[stuck horizon]

Yeah that's why I'm staying off youtube and twitter until I've played it

[dreamy helm]

I know but I still wanna check out other games

[brave urchin]

Little Nightmares 3 soon

[pale aspen]

And no spoilers from chat too

[brave urchin]

Time to not go into #h2-discussion

[prisma monolith]

Out of time is coming out today I believe

[dreamy helm]

Yeah I'm staying out of this discord server for a while

[kind oriole]

Yeah #h2-for-new-players onlyyyy loll

[prisma monolith]

You could stay in #h2-for-new-players

[hallow vault]

I Wonder if the degens will try to start their Discourse Cycle again

[prisma monolith]

What's that

[dreamy helm]

Did I miss something?

[kind oriole]

There will be a discourse over Hades 2, it will be dumb, and irrelevant, so we can ignore it

[hallow vault]

U know the "GODS ARE BLACK??" cycle when the EA was Released

[prisma monolith]

Ah, you can't stop that

I can't believe they have ne playing as a girl 🤬

[brave urchin]

What is that?

[hallow vault]

There will be discourse yes but most pf it will be if its gonna win GOTY lmao

[dreamy helm]

Oh, I tbh I never pay much attention to those comments

[spare orchid]

Do we know what time it drops?

[prisma monolith]

In 6 hrs

[hallow vault]

In 6 hours and 5 Minutes

[brave urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/number-6-neon-gif-5346725654826568450

[spare orchid]

Longest 6 hours ever

[kind oriole]

Oh so true, Itll get nominated, unclear if it will win

[hallow vault]

Idk your Timezone but for me its 6pm

[brave urchin]

Oh this is not as terrible as the wait was for Arcane Season 2.

[prisma monolith]

That's why you say how long instead of when it is

[hallow vault]

So in aorund 6 Hours

[prisma monolith]

And all that wait for the season to be complete garbage

[hallow vault]

3 pf those 6 are on work for me lmao

[brave urchin]

Wroooong! It's peak.

[dreamy helm]

It wasn't ALL bad but it wasn't a masterpiece

[prisma monolith]

Arcane season 2, in terms of writing is garbage, is only pure fanservice, if you liked that sure, but the writing was horrible

[brave urchin]

I enjoy the fact league players hate it.

[prisma monolith]

Especially compared to the masterpiece of season 1

[brave urchin]

I would say S1 is a lot overrated compared to S2, which is underrated.

[dreamy helm]

If the last act was instead a third season and the second act got expanded it would be perfect imo

[prisma monolith]

I disagree, I'm not gonna tell you what to like, but nothing in season 2 makes sense

[brave urchin]

They are actually close in quality, but people like to gaslight themselves.
S1 hit so hard cus it was new. S2 has to fill the footsteps which is always hard.

[brave urchin]

The Viktor stuff was bad, I agree on that.

[dreamy helm]

Anyways Hades 2

[frank mulch]

Are we talking about arcane. Season 2 episode 7 is the best of it

[prisma monolith]

All of it was bad, ambessa had negative iq, jayce got rebooted into a brand new character

[rough horizon]

#off-topic-discussion

[frank mulch]

Just a week away
Wait…..

[brave urchin]

I am afraid we prolly get some "Hades 2 story bad compared to 1" too. It's ALWAYS the haters when it comes to a "part 2" of anything.

[dreamy helm]

What was that again? I forget what happens in each episode😭

[dire sand]

I liked arcane season 2

[dreamy helm]

Christmas!

[prisma monolith]

Episode 7 was literally unnecessary, pure fan service, but did nothing for the plot aside form heimerdinger assassinating the og heimerdinger from that timeline, and ekko effectively r*ping jinx

[dreamy helm]

Whut

[uncut galleon]

i like hades 2

[prisma monolith]

Me2

[dire sand]

Ye Im gonna need less internet today

[brave urchin]

I like Hades 2 2

[dreamy helm]

I think you'd love Hades 2 honestly

[limber root]

5 hours now

[frank mulch]

I’ve seen people say they don’t like melinoë because she doesn’t act like zagreus and it made me so mad. Zag is right there he has an entire game where is the protagonist!

[prisma monolith]

^^

[hallow vault]

So yeah when im Home and done eating and showering its just around 90 Minutes

[brave urchin]

Liking something doesn´t prevent you from loving it.

[hallow vault]

Gonna Play Hades and when 1.0 drops start a fresh File

Save

[brave urchin]

yepp. I heard that very early access. I didn´t get it. She grew a lot on me. Her quirks are nice.

[brave urchin]

I wouldn´t have patience for this lol.-

[dreamy helm]

Even then how do people expect them to be identical? They grew up in VERY different circumstances

[brave urchin]

I NEED TO SEE THE ENDING!

[tidal lynx]

how many jokes have been made about killing time today

[prisma monolith]

Chaos: you're boring i liked your brother more

[brave urchin]

One could argue Mel has it far worse.

[hallow vault]

I will take Time

[frank mulch]

It was pure fanservice and why I liked it. But that’s an interesting read on it
Not dismissing you, I have not watched it for months and I will not watch it again but it feels uncharitable

[brave urchin]

Don´t tell me they said that. 😭

[dreamy helm]

Pretty much yeah 😭

[prisma monolith]

Yes, if you liked the fanservice the more power to you, im glad you enjoyed it, but story wise it made no sense

[dire sand]

Is ep7 the one where ekko is in his ideal world and jayce is in dark souls

[prisma monolith]

Yes

[frank mulch]

She’s sweet and I liked her instantly. Oh mel I am excited to experience her entire journey

[dire sand]

Good episode

[unreal hare]

if we

if we're talking arcane 2 i have A LOT to say lol

[dreamy helm]

Will you be doing a fresh file?

[prisma monolith]

My biggest problem with that episode is ekko taking advantage of jinx, she DID NOT consent, she didn't know he wasn't her boyfriend, they could've just made it so he tells her about it and she's ok with it

[brave urchin]

Arcane plays in the Hades universe.

[frank mulch]

Yeah I was just along for the ride I’m not hardcore into league or even arcane. I loved that trope lmao and it was pretty and had characters I like :) sooo

[unreal hare]

real

[teal portal]

Should I start a new file for 1.0 or should I use my almost maxxed file just missing 1 hiden aspect

[brave urchin]

Hot take: hasn´t Hades 1 and 2 massiv fanservice? (You can date so many).

[frank mulch]

Arkane™

[prisma monolith]

Up to you

[unreal hare]

i'd start a new file just to see the early game again

[frank mulch]

The amounts of time I confused them

[dreamy helm]

I'm wondering the same thing

[brave urchin]

Arcane´t do this anymore, guys. 6 hours till Hades II!!

[unborn ridge]

six hours!

[unreal hare]

theres the ||scene where selene visits you and i really wanna see her model|| early game spoiler

[brave urchin]

ME 2!!

[frank mulch]

I’m nervous I think I did not get enough sleep to be normal about this

[prisma monolith]

You can have fan service, but you can also have a logic story, season 1 showed they can do both. Im not against fan service, I love Viktor saying glorious evolution, or ekko finally doing time stuff for 4 seconds. But that doesnt stop me from recognizing the writing was a total mess

[modern sonnet]

6 hours till midnight release in my country lmao

[unreal hare]

my gf got into hades 1 while i was playing hades 2 so she's gonna play with me :D

[teal portal]

for me it comes out when I cant play, ill have to wait 12 hours

[modern sonnet]

I'm ready for a new challenge since I already played Hades 1 to death

[prisma monolith]

Death is not an escape

In fact, there's no escape

This 15 seconds is driving me crazy ngl, killing the mood

[brave urchin]

One of my best friend I tried to get into Hades cus they always ask why I am so drooling over Hades 2 atm.
They played a bit but couln´t get into it. 🙁
They said they enjoy exploration in games.

[dire sand]

I like the slowmode

[prisma monolith]

I dont

[dire sand]

Little bit of thinking done before sending

[prisma monolith]

I cant think, I act

[dire sand]

I too have adhd

[prisma monolith]

I also type too fast

[dire sand]

I also type fast I just type more

[tulip comet]

That's true

[prisma monolith]

Heyyyyy there buddy, nice seeing ya here

[dire sand]

Break up my sentences a bit less and just type a little more every time lol

[unreal hare]

i got that too with a friend who couldn't get into hades coz it was too hard (and he didnt wanna turn on god mode)

[dire sand]

Also makes it so one person isn't just the entire chat

[prisma monolith]

I'm guessing today's plans are hades? I got 3 hrs before patch comes out, I'm thinking rivals then perhaps some darktide

[dire sand]

Im thinking work then hades

[teal portal]

I was introduce into Hades by a friend but I almost did not stick with it as it was really hard to start off

[prisma monolith]

Ok, how about 10 seconds

[dire sand]

Or some ac shadows in between

[dire sand]

Not up to me but I also dont care enough lol

[fluid totem]

3 hours until patch for what?

[brave urchin]

Wasn´t too hard for my friend, he just thought it was boring the same area over and over. He even reached Hades two times... So he sure gave it a try couple of hours.

[near yoke]

1.0 patch notes when?

[prisma monolith]

No patch is in 6, 3 hours for me to leave work

[dire sand]

5 hours for work

[unreal hare]

Around 6 hours

[spring jolt]

The 1.0 release in 6 hours?

[brave urchin]

You guys think Hades 2 will explode the Steam shop just like Silksong?

[prisma monolith]

Yes

[near yoke]

Also 3 hours of work for me

[fluid totem]

how about they just release it now for my client in particular :))

[unreal hare]

Probably not because of pre orders

[prisma monolith]

No, because of early access

[merry hedge]

when will be update ?

[brave urchin]

I am a very important journalist. Please give me 1.0, Super Giant.

[tulip comet]

I think so. Yeah darktide new update.

[prisma monolith]

And a good one!

[brave urchin]

Yeah but what if anyways?

[spring jolt]

I don't think Hades got that big of an impact (meme wise at least) as Silksong

[frank mulch]

How am I going to play overbotch daily now 😔 I’m gonna have to make a schedule. That contains no sleep

[unreal hare]

I won't be surprised :3

[prisma monolith]

Oh it does, I'm sure hades rivals silksong, if not surpasses it

[fluid totem]

#announcements message

[frank mulch]

That’s bc silksong was in dev 7 years and hades 2 got consistent updates in EA. It did not stop people from saying “its over, its silksong situation now” when an update took 2 days later than they thought it would

[unreal hare]

Silksong had a ton of hype around it because of how quiet team cherry were for basically 7 years

[spring jolt]

ooh alright

[unreal hare]

Also, both games are great lol
Its not a fight

[dire sand]

No, silksong was one of the most wishlisted games of all time lol

[fluid totem]

i havent played h2 since patch 8. has it changed a lot?

[unreal hare]

Why limit yourself to one game when you can enjoy both? :D

[prisma monolith]

Hades just did early access which lessens the hype a bit since people can actually play the game

[dire sand]

It also just has less numbers

[prisma monolith]

Honestly, dare i say they go along

[brave urchin]

Which one was that?

[errant dirge]

is v1 out yet? it's 5PM SEP 25 for me.

[prisma monolith]

No

[brave urchin]

But it also gave them financial stability.

[fluid totem]

right after ares was added

[spring jolt]

6 more hours apparently

[stuck gazelle]

will you guys continue your ea save file in the 1.0 version or will you start a new one?

[fluid totem]

new

[frank mulch]

yeah it was available to buy the entire time unlike skong so I doubt it’ll break steam

[last inlet]

New

[dire sand]

Like in terms of all time peak silksong is 17th of all time

[prisma monolith]

Right, im not saying early access was a bad choice, not only financially but also shaping the game in a good way

[brave urchin]

Oh. So you saw the final boss top side.
They added Rival versions of bosses, basically "Extreme measures" for H2.

[unreal hare]

Ok so

[prisma monolith]

Well silksong is an official release, the early access tag spooks people

[brave urchin]

[unreal hare]

Hidden aspects, extreme measures, weapon reworks and more trials

[prisma monolith]

People want a finished game

[brave urchin]

Hades 2 might still get a giant boost of buyers.

[unreal hare]

And a lot of balance changes ofc lol

[prisma monolith]

I know at least 3 people who have been waiting for 1.0 to buy

[fluid totem]

nice im def starting new then

[brave urchin]

I bet only 10% of potential buys got it, yet.

[unreal hare]

Remember that we only have PC players now

[prisma monolith]

And not even all the pc players

[unreal hare]

Exactly

[brave urchin]

Sure, but i want the Steam store to crash.

[dire sand]

I don't think it gets near this peak but I'll be happy to be proven wrong

[marsh wyvern]

What r we talking about?

[unreal hare]

Same honestly

[tropic axle]

6 more hours still

[fluid totem]

i played hades 1 last two days for a throwback. i kept missing the big axe from h2

[unreal hare]

I keep missing the fists in hades 2

[brave urchin]

[tropic axle]

I miss the spear

[brave urchin]

Isn´t that technically the coat?

[unreal hare]

Xinth isnt the same 😭

[olive coral]

I've found the torches to be similar enough for me.

[marsh wyvern]

She made a wordplay about missing the attacks

[undone saffron]

horsieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[unreal hare]

Even though its really fun

[olive coral]

But the fists were my favorite for sure.

[brave urchin]

Wait, how would that work? 😄

[fluid totem]

the fists from h1 are way more rapid than torch is

[marsh wyvern]

We need more boons

I want artemis and athena

[spring jolt]

was this the only time they appear?

[prisma monolith]

Dare I say staff is closer to fist

[fluid totem]

but the closest thing to the axe in h1 is maybe the hidden sword aspect

[brave urchin]

[unreal hare]

The only thing I "dislike" about hades 2 (jk not really lol) is that dionysus isnt a main boon giver.
I know why they did that, I love what he does, but I miss my grape attacks 😢

[olive coral]

I really didn't expect to like the coat, but it's my second favorite, too.

[unreal hare]

Don't sleep on the skull omg its SO GOOD

[fluid totem]

can mods be made to add h1 gods later on?

[brave urchin]

I find Dyno way cooler now, he isn´t just a "dot"-boon character anymore.

[unreal hare]

Ignore the range and just spam spacial, plag it like you're melee

[olive coral]

I feel like I would like the skull more if I figured out how to use it.

[brave urchin]

I just hate the ammo system. 😭

[unreal hare]

I love dot tho

[marsh wyvern]

Just make everything go boom

[brave urchin]

You got Hestia.

[dire sand]

I'm looking at h1 numbers and being surprised at how low they are lol

[unreal hare]

I just shoot and dash to my ammo with spacial

[spring jolt]

I personally really want it to be more possible to keep the dresses, since it's the only player "cosmetic"

[unreal hare]

And shes my favorite :3

[brave urchin]

Agree. I love my pink dress!

[marsh wyvern]

Do we know when hades 2 will release for PS5?

[dense venture]

This is why I keep preaching how you won't have any bricked runs in Hades 2 in comparison to 1

[brave urchin]

Dresses should break but still keep the color!

[unreal hare]

I just wanna see more of dio and him being on Olympus makes it that you won't be able to get him in underworld runs

[grizzled trench]

happy hades day everybody

[brave urchin]

What's a bricked run?

[prisma monolith]

If they don't make this a change mods will probably do it

[dense venture]

Playing Sword and greeted by Demeter, Ares, and Dio

[unreal hare]

Runs where you get 0 good boons and you're kinda screwed

[grizzled trench]

there was code somewhere for an unlockable dress shop so you may be in luck if tht gets added

[brave urchin]

Yeah rng manipulation is way better in Hades 2. But its also a harder game.

[granite mist]

Goty 2025 today

[rotund mirage]

Hey guys, does anybody know when it's going to be released? (I know it is today:))

[fluid totem]

#announcements message

[dire sand]

103k is h2 player peak, 54k is h1 player peak (both as measured on steam ofc other numbers are hard to get by)

[dense venture]

It's more about how most boons in H2 are better on average

[dire sand]

5.5 hours

[modest spade]

im so excitedddd

[unreal hare]

Between hades 2 and coe33

[dense venture]

H1 has so many questionable dmg boons

Legit from flat dmg side u only got Zeus to trust

[granite mist]

And silksong

[dire sand]

And dk bananza

[unreal hare]

And dk bananza

[fluid totem]

wtf

[unreal hare]

So many good games this year

[olive coral]

So will there be new stuff after the bosses? The narration after ||Typhus|| made it sound like there might be.

[granite mist]

And ninja gaiden 4

[neat thicket]

Only 5 and a half hours lefttttt

[unreal hare]

Also I heard that blue prince is amazing

[dense venture]

Yea I enjoyed UmaMusume 🗿

[dire sand]

It's always a good game year (I just play old games)

[neat thicket]

And then its fresh file time for update

[granite mist]

2025 been a cracked year for games

[dire sand]

Every year is a good year for games if you just play indies tbh

[granite mist]

(I only played e33 silksong and hades2)

[neat thicket]

I haven’t tried e33 or silksong but as soon as im not broke i plan to play the hell out of both

[fluid totem]

mfw my pc cant run e33 because i got a 1060 gpu

[dire sand]

I upgraded my pc to play e33 lol

Was about time anyway

[unreal hare]

So worth it imo

Such an amazing game

[granite mist]

I play e33 on a laptop
Not a very comfortable experience to say the least

[dire sand]

It was indeed worth it I can now play whatever lol

[frigid echo]

probably a cut scene-ish room or two like in h1

[fluid totem]

when is hades 3 early access comin out

[granite mist]

2030

[unreal hare]

2087

[fluid totem]

thank

[hearty idol]

2077

[granite mist]

Hades 3 will have zagreus son as the protagonist

[fluid totem]

let me play as aphrodite pls

[boreal zenith]

anyone know what time v1.0 is coming out?

[granite mist]

Check timezones in #announcements

[north zodiac]

Quick question. I can continue with my early access build when full release comes right

[frigid echo]

yes if you mean your save

[dense venture]

I've decided that I will start a new fresh file

[wind nebula]

Chat is Hades 2 full release here yet?

[potent imp]

are we gonna lose anything going from early access to full release? like currency or items or incantations?

[cursive nacelle]

its releaseed in 20 minutes and 5 hours

[hasty depot]

The final boss reagents.

[wind nebula]

Jeez Louise

[waxen rune]

Come in to chat Abt Hades 2 and chat is yapping about e33. This is something lol

[wispy lynx]

Hades33

[covert badge]

Sometimes I just want to spread misinformation whenever the when the game will be released question pops up to piss y’all off

[fluid totem]

im already playing it

[last inlet]

What is everyone’s preferred weapon and what build do you usually try to go for if possible in a run?

[waxen rune]

Yes and no. Your save file will stay the exact same only the story will be backdated like it was with Hades 1 EA. Your ash and bones will be converted to something else I can't remember exactly.

[dense venture]

HAPPY HADES 2 RELEASE DAY GUYS!

[swift forge]

Q) When does Hades 2 release on stam?

[fluid totem]

whats stam

[waxen rune]

a one piece reference in this server. Oh yeah this is peak

[waxen rune]

9am PST or EST one of the two lol

[last inlet]

If u mean steam, EA is available now, full release in just over 5 hours

[muted ocean]

abt 5hrs right?

[swift forge]

https://tenor.com/view/worriedface-gif-8136920942220759477

[frigid echo]

OME MUST IMAGINE NOW IS FIVE HOURS LATER

[paper marsh]

hades 2 genuinely motivates me to start making video games on my own

[waxen rune]

Y'all lucky. I have to be at work from 6 - 6 today 😭😭😭

[waxen rune]

Do it I'll play em 😎

[fluid totem]

its 9pm pst release time trust

[dire sand]

I took next week off like ages ago I timed it so well

[muted ocean]

I'm headed to sleep now alarm set for 5hrs, took work off for H2 release day too!

[dire sand]

I am free from work in 5 hours

[muted ocean]

godspeed

[teal portal]

the second I get home Im playing H2

[dire sand]

And then no work till somewhere in oct

Truly a 3 day weekend and a week off are a blessing

[last inlet]

My scheduled day off fell on release day, so excited

[wind nebula]

I'll prolly just end up starting a new save then

[frank igloo]

Hey anyone know how the update is gonna work with Hades 1 as reference? Do we get an update file on the dot in five hours to install or what

[waxen rune]

Jealous of you fr

I'm off to work in 30 minutes 🥲

[frank igloo]

And will it be a large file? My internet is quite slow, took me over 24 hours to install Hades 1 😢

[dire sand]

Tbf this weekend im not home anyway lol

[tender oxide]

Whoever has the game already 1.0 will be just like any update

[frank igloo]

Right but I wasn’t around for those, I only bought EA after the final update. What’s a normal update like?

[waxen rune]

It's size will probably be decently big. It's hundreds of voice lines with some balances and the entire rest of the story for ||both the underworld and the surface||

[raw topaz]

So like 2 gigs?

[cerulean lake]

Some of these achievements are so hard, i dont think ill ever be able to get beat chronos w an arachne outfit

Whats a nightbloom?

[frank igloo]

Nooooooooooo I may need to wait another 12 hours to play after release

[waxen rune]

I estimate 5 - 30 personally. Then again I always assume too much space so it's not a problem

[raw topaz]

Steam just automatically downloads it if its on, otherwise you gotta go and click update

[prisma monolith]

Drop all the difficulty, turn on god mode, grab dress, then put on arachne keepsake, profit

[tender oxide]

Wouldn't God Mode disable achievement?

[cerulean lake]

Oooh
Smart
I forgot about arachne keepsake

[frank igloo]

I actually tried that, still lost the dress 😅. Just got to get good

[prisma monolith]

I thought it didn't? Never used it, can anyone confirm?

[tender oxide]

Neither did I

[raw topaz]

Don't think it would

[cerulean lake]

Iirc godmode shouldn't affect achievements or anything

[raw topaz]

Hades 1 never did, and doesn't seem like a supergiant take

[frank igloo]

I can confirm it does not, at least not for Hades 1

[cerulean lake]

My godmode upper limit is quite high lol but i get hit a lot.. Time to find out

[raw topaz]

Have you tried ...not getting hit?

[prisma monolith]

Yeha I don't see supergiant doing that but since they mentioned it and I wasn't 100% sure

[cerulean lake]

Thats how all the other guys on screen show love

[prisma monolith]

Yeah im afraid you gonna have to work on not getting hit

[frank igloo]

No that has never occurred to me! /s

[cerulean lake]

😔

[raw topaz]

Then turn off your steamy videos and start playing Hades

[slate minnow]

will there be maintenance for the game when release happens?

[prisma monolith]

Is a single player offline game, probably not

[dire sand]

Ye the only p2p multiplayer servers will need some upkeep

[raw topaz]

They will likely work on the game and release some patches after release before moving onto their next game

[cerulean lake]

Maintenance is actually the 3 days of resigned defeat in sgg's office while h2 players go wild with the most broken build before it gets nerfed to hell

[raw topaz]

Release gives them immense amounts of feedback that they would be silly not to consider

[cerulean lake]

Realistically i dont think anything will be egregiously over/undertuned, but it would be the funniest outcome

[raw topaz]

You don't even have seed reset before the late game, so if everyone is consistently getting to the late game, that's a big W

[prisma monolith]

I think the question is asking about the game going offline for a certain amount of time like most multiplayer games do

[raw topaz]

O yea, but that was already answered, I just answered as tho they meant "patches after release"

[prisma monolith]

And who's to say they will be moving on to the next game

[torpid lava]

Aaaa I'm so excited for the release I woke up so early ans its not out yet sobbing

[narrow badger]

Saaaame. I'm out here with the very early morning feed for my baby like, dang! No Hades II yet!

[prisma monolith]

If only you checked the release time announcement

More sleep could've been achieved

[torpid lava]

I did but I got too excited and woke up too early sobs

[elfin heron]

Is the release in like 5 hours ?

[prisma monolith]

Yes

[torpid lava]

Yeah dhshjdjd

[elfin heron]

Just got it on Switch 2, I thought the game would be available at midnight lol

[torpid lava]

Maybe I'll play a tiny bit of ea before it comes out fully again..

[cerulean lake]

Okay mood
Im tempted to go to sleep already so i can get my 8hrs of sleep AND a couple of boss clears before work

[prisma monolith]

Solid

[raw topaz]

"Dear Supergiant Fans,

We made many original titles and now even a long awaited sequel. We always strive for doing something new and doing it as well as we can, so effective today we announce our next project: Declaring Bankruptcy!

Bye!"

[torpid lava]

SCREAMS NOOOO

[elfin heron]

Question, I played a little of Hades, is there anything I need to know before I play hades 2? Is the story super important ?

[raw topaz]

Nah, you'll pick it up

[torpid lava]

Well kinda it is the sequel but I think it also works as a standalone

[elfin heron]

The protag of 2 is Hades daughter ?

[prisma monolith]

You don't need to play h1 to enjoy h2

[torpid lava]

Yes

[elfin heron]

Maybe I should just watch the ending of Hades ? Lol to have more context

[torpid lava]

Whatever you think is best!

[prisma monolith]

Not necessary, but by all means

Wtf, why did it reply to that, I hate discord

[limpid oar]

If you want context by all means go for it, but you already know more than enough to follow what's going on when you boot up h2

[raw topaz]

You've got until the game releases to escape hell 10 times

[torpid lava]

Tbh I haven't even finished the epilog of hades 1 so JSJFJDJF I was rushing to complete it but the rng gods said no

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[prisma monolith]

[dire sand]

The dream of every indie studio: starting an open world immersive sim rpg that bankrupts the entire company

[elfin heron]

Ok I’ll do that rq

[prisma monolith]

Ain't happening chief

[raw topaz]

Remember the MMO part, now with generative AI-based procedural NFT-powered player driven economy

[elfin heron]

You have to escape hell 10 times in hades to get the ending ?

[torpid lava]

Yeah

[dire sand]

No this is the dream of every "indie" scam

[torpid lava]

Then you can move onto the epilog which is more grindy but still fun, not necessary tho unless you want more

[dire sand]

Important distinction between indie studio and 'indie' scam

[prisma monolith]

And the battle pass?

[raw topaz]

The I in Indie stands for "Money"

[dire sand]

Understandable

[prisma monolith]

To get the official credits yes, theres another deeper secret ending

[raw topaz]

As does every other letter (I escaped middle school)

[torpid lava]

The concept of escaping middleschool

[prisma monolith]

Prison break, but Michael is 10

[dire sand]

The m in middleschool stands for money

[raw topaz]

I could imagine a heist movie set in a kindergarten

[prisma monolith]

The M in Hades 2 stands for release now

[raw topaz]

The M in my name also stands for money,
I don't have any

[torpid lava]

The heist is stealing the snacktime snacks omg

[zealous cove]

hey, it is possible get achivements on PC early access?

[white lance]

Is it out yet?

[torpid lava]

Nope, 5 more hours

[raw topaz]

Stealing your confiscated trading cards back

[white lance]

Darn

[dire sand]

It's out already actually

[raw topaz]

Its coming in 2 hours

[dire sand]

You can in fact already buy the game it's been out for a while

[smoky rover]

Yeah, been playing it for almost a year now I think

[dire sand]

Been playing it since may 2024

[winter sun]

games not coming out guys it was a prank

[dire sand]

Ye okay markon

[jagged crane]

Hello there good people. I've been playing Early Access for about 100h since it came out, did everything there was to do at the time, so took a break, came back for a short time when Olympus update came out but also had to really focus on my work so forced myself to stay away from the game untli v1. The time has come and I'm so ready, but I have a question about my progress in EA so far. Can I continue where I left off or so much has changed that I have to start over. Or is it recommended to actually start over from scratch?

[lunar merlin]

hello, does anyone know if i will unlock achievments for the stuff ive done in early access, if i loadmy save?

[dim mountain]

HADES 2 IN 5 HOURS

[zealous cove]

start over my bro

[raw topaz]

Ye, they already announced that they're unhappy with the state of the game, so they will take it down from all stores and put it back in the oven for 6 years

[zealous cove]

you can let it wait and get fun with new progression again

[rose canyon]

H2 in less than 5 hours

[prisma monolith]

No

[cerulean lake]

I feel like you dont really gain anything from restarting other than ur own joy & preference

Its not like youre missing anything, and if youve been aching to see the resolution, youre just putting it off by 10-20 hrs

[raw topaz]

I can't wait to collect resources from the beginning without having to select tools

[rose canyon]

This wait has been painfuul

[prisma monolith]

There's no "recommended" that's up to you, i wouldn't and won't start

[lunar merlin]

🙏

[prisma monolith]

Yes and no

[cerulean lake]

Arghhh i think tools look cool but yeah i hate having to pick them ugh

Would be funny if the appearance of tools did upgrade. Like minecraft..

[rose canyon]

50/50
Some stuff youll need to redo it

[prisma monolith]

^

[dire sand]

Things you can repeatably do wont unlock as far as I know

[prisma monolith]

@lunar merlin

[raw topaz]

Can't wait for that mod

[rose canyon]

Idk if I should restart, early grind is painful

[cerulean lake]

Looking at list of achievements, a lot of the ones likely for redo seem mostly easy

[zealous cove]

you can create a new save now and put with mods every materials for late but get fun with progression without the farm sistem

[prisma monolith]

Do x for the first time will unlock right away for example

[cerulean lake]

Yeah this is where im at

Ill use my current file for story and just make an extra save for challenge runs

[raw topaz]

Replace the ||tiny vermin|| mini boss with chicken jockey

[lunar merlin]

Oh alright thanks

[prisma monolith]

I'm not making an extra save, too much grind

[shell gazelle]

1.0 is already out?

Pics of zag in the hot tub or we'll ridicule you for the next month

[prisma monolith]

Im not starting a new one

[raw topaz]

I'm starting anew

[rose canyon]

I will flip a coin maybe

[brisk timber]

ive got a 200h file that ill most likely 100% then ill create a new one

[dire sand]

I'm far behind on updates anyway so I just continue my old one

[ionic rune]

iam finishing my actual save, then maybe go again for a new save????

[lofty vale]

How come they never addressed the fact the game is called "Hades 2" but there is only one Hades in the game

[prisma monolith]

Im all caught up, ready for 1.0 with my save

[brisk timber]

no theres hades and little hades??

[dire sand]

If hades 2 is so good then where is hades 3?

[civic charm]

5 more hours bois

[prisma monolith]

Little hades isn't in the game yet

[brisk timber]

hades 3 melinoë and zagreus co-op

[lofty vale]

Oh, shoot, you're right, the poseidon thingy, I am caught

[pale aspen]

Imagine

[weary axle]

so mote it be

[prisma monolith]

If hades 2 is so good then how come there's no hades 2 2

[uncut galleon]

she is

[brisk timber]

a co-op multiplayer hades would go hard

[smoky rover]

Hades 2: spawn of hades

[dire sand]

Hades 2 2 electric boogaloo

[civic charm]

why no oiled up hecate if hades 2 is good tho

[raw topaz]

In one of the rarer dialogue options with ||Hades|| he actually reveals that ||hadeez nuts 2||

[torpid lava]

I'm starting a new one

[prisma monolith]

We don't have oiled up hecate

[brisk timber]

id say hot springs counts for that

[smoky rover]

Vow of Rivals?

[uncut galleon]

poseidon says little hades applies to mel, too

[rose canyon]

Unplayable

[prisma monolith]

Nah he's wrong

[lofty vale]

Was waiting for that one, thank you

[prime rampart]

I’m gonna get to the top of olympus with old save then start a new one

[tender oxide]

Something something shape of dreams

[uncut galleon]

i'm too slow can we change the buffer inbetween posting to 5 mins please

[rose canyon]

Less than 5 hours to romance Scylla

[ionic rune]

same 😄

[prisma monolith]

That's nothing like hades, but solid game, a coop hades is more akin to sworn

[raw topaz]

Make it 5 hours

[brisk timber]

something something ravenswatch but i dont care about those i want hades co-op specifically

[civic charm]

rivals 5 lets u take on hecate and medea at the same time.. not in a battle tho

[raw topaz]

More like Vow of Roommates

Nah I'll stick with magic

[raw topaz]

Only one of you is correct

[brisk timber]

my current hades2 file has basically everything in it other than the weapon testaments for the skull flames and the black coat (the stuff where u gotta beat bosses w enough vows to get nightmare) everything else i got

[prisma monolith]

Obvs me

[brisk timber]

including all fish 🔥

[prisma monolith]

My current hades file has everything

[robust basin]

Yeah, there's no way in Hades I am getting another 32f run

[odd escarp]

I hope whoever works at centurylink gets really bad cramps like me

[raw topaz]

I like that max heat is so nigh impossible that you can't 100% the game

[brisk timber]

i dont think u need 32f ?
the max for the stuff is 20 to get the nightmare for the weapons

[cerulean lake]

Does h2 use blank spots in the codex for missing fish? I think there isnt but i hope im wrong

[brisk timber]

i got the melinoë half naked statues so im happy

[raw topaz]

Yes, but max heat is still content

[prisma monolith]

Impossible? Is that skill issue i hear

[odd escarp]

Imma crash out Hades 2 launch day and my internet is nonexistent

[rocky lava]

how do you ||change your familiar appearance or is it only in v1.0 its one of the achievements||

hello everyone!
could someone plz tell me if there's smth I need to do to upgrade EA to full version in order to play?

[dire sand]

You need to pay EA (Electronic Arts)

[brisk timber]

i think some transition would be awesome
going from the top of olympus to the hosue of hades and through each area you get different singers/music, like scylla, artemis, orpheus and eurydice and mayhaps some more
it'd be awesome to have apollo singing haha

[prisma monolith]

You need to wait

They said my internet isn't going to be back till 4PM WTF

It just keeps repeating,
Time is circular,
Chronos is round

[cerulean lake]

Melinoe is Zag post transition, she was just too embarrassed to explain and only Dio got it

[odd escarp]

This is the worst day of my life internet won't come back till 4 so I can't play V1.0 till then ugh

[prisma monolith]

The funniest thing about this theory is thr portrait in her room

[torpid grove]

I just heard the game is cancelled

[empty abyss]

its GenAI

[raw topaz]

Thats just a random baby

[tender oxide]

Oh that's just a picture she got at a fair

[prisma monolith]

Some random drew it

[cerulean lake]

Its an Easter egg for hades III

[prisma monolith]

Hades 69 gonna go so hard

[raw topaz]

And the person who drew it? It was me, Chronos all along!

[tender oxide]

Hades 5: The Last Knight

[hallow vault]

Some Gamerboys are mad that IGN gave Hades 2 a 10/10

[prisma monolith]

I'm mad that ign called it a rougelite

[tender oxide]

Is it because they gave Silksong a 9?

[hallow vault]

Some use the Hestia and Hesphestus Stuff as a reason why it got a 10/10

[raw topaz]

They must regain goodwill with the french

[spare hearth]

Honestly gona try to do a final run if I am being honest, but not sure if I will

[tender oxide]

It isn't?

[hallow vault]

I have a minor criticism tho it Sounds like heavy nitpicking 😭

[prisma monolith]

Wtf is a rougelite

[hallow vault]

The earlygame can overwhelm u if u are new with all the ressources etc.

But thats like extremely heavy nitpicking 😭

[uncut galleon]

some light rouge is enough, tbh

[civic charm]

what's even the difference between rougeLITE and rogueLIKE

[raw topaz]

Its fine with how much better systems get introduced via cauldron

[weary axle]

remember when we could only take one kind of resourse per run

[hallow vault]

But outside of that idk once u are in the flow its Peak

[cerulean lake]

Yeah imo

[odd escarp]

Gonna attempt to change my DNS settings to try and connect it that way

[prisma monolith]

Rougelite was invented by someone with dyslexia

It doesn't exist, is simply wrong

[civic charm]

lmaoo

[raw topaz]

The word dyslexia was invented by someone who did not have it

[hallow vault]

Roguelite u make Progress when dying.
Roguelike u die and start a new

[lime cedar]

so when does it update?

[weary axle]

Roguelite has metaprogression and a roguelike doesnt

[prisma monolith]

Yes, now wtf is a rougelite

[hallow vault]

Idfk

[raw topaz]

When I learned that I was gay and dyslexic... I was in daniel

[willow wigeon]

There are no permanent upgrades or progression that carry over in a roguelike. In a roguelike, the run is the run.

[hallow vault]

Cause everything these days is a roguelite tbh even Games like. Risk of Rain

[odd escarp]

The baby version of roguelike

[merry whale]

iirc it's like a term used to gatekeep roguelikes

[tender oxide]

Term used for roguelikes who have metaprogression as a heavy focus (I.E. Hyper Light Breaker, Haste, Void/Breaker, etc.)

[prisma monolith]

Wouldn't that be roguelite?

[hallow vault]

Yeah

[prisma monolith]

No, that's roguelite, you're missing the point

[weary axle]

you gotta be trolling though haha

[odd escarp]

That's what I just said

[hallow vault]

Idk a Single "true" Roguelike

[tender oxide]

You asked wtf is a roguelite

[prisma monolith]

But that's not what I said

[hallow vault]

But idc about what is or what isnt 😭

[odd escarp]

I am confusa

[prisma monolith]

No, I asked wtf is a rougelite

[tender oxide]

Balatro, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Isaac, etc.

[neat frigate]

I use rogue lite and rogue like interchangeably because I’m not a nerd

[hallow vault]

Yeah

[raw topaz]

Isn't risk of rain also true roguelike? No meta power-progression

[prisma monolith]

Yall are missing the point, this wasn't a like vs lite, it was a rogue vs rouge

[hallow vault]

Me too

[sonic marsh]

I think one of the "true" definition of roguelikes is turn based, no real time stuff

[raw topaz]

Is Rogue a Roguelike?

[limpid oar]

Hades 2 is the best rougelike I played

[tender oxide]

Yes

[neat frigate]

Lmao

[merry whale]

i like rogue

[prisma monolith]

Im rapidly approaching your location

[robust basin]

No ofc not. Let's not joke about this

[weary axle]

hades🙏 tarkov

[merry whale]

enemy approaching - toby fox

[tender oxide]

Off topic but based Andi pfp

[raw topaz]

That's the Berlin definition, its pretty bad

[prisma monolith]

Someone says rouge again, I'm throwing hands

[spare hearth]

For what, to argue about what one is the best?

[zinc cape]

EVERYONE TODAY IS THE DAYYYY!!!!!!!!

[sonic marsh]

and i hate it, who gave them the right

[merry whale]

frankie jumpscare 😎 👍

[tender oxide]

... Rog-Extraction

[prisma monolith]

The Berlin definition needs to take a shower

[raw topaz]

The left

[robust basin]

You are an old one.

[prisma monolith]

What

[neat frigate]

My favorite rougelike is sonic adventure 2

[sonic marsh]

my left or your left

[raw topaz]

The woke left.... without saying goodbye

[sonic marsh]

ok i dont think politics plays any role in this

[tender oxide]

B-but I thought Hades 2 was woke /j

[prisma monolith]

The left woke... after a long nap

[odd escarp]

Love how my internet goes out a week after my computer stopped working now it's working again but the internet is out so I can't play Hades 2

[dire sand]

Hades 2 is my favorite turn based soulslike

[raw topaz]

Today, it shall awaken!!

[odd escarp]

This

[weary axle]

cant u tether phone to pc to download update? Guess it wont be so big of a patch

[neat frigate]

Chronos phase 3 is turn based so that counts

[raw topaz]

It is turn based, just 30 turns per second

[robust basin]

Nah, all the characters come from the same small country. It is very racist

[odd escarp]

Hades 2 is my favorite souls like

[merry whale]

if i wanted to play a soulslike i'd be playing silksong which is why i am not playing it

[tender oxide]

BY THE POWER OF OLYMPUS, HADES 2 AWAKE NOW

[versed stump]

Hades is my favorite family drama

[neat frigate]

Aspect of Medea is a point and click adventure game

[prisma monolith]

Just to avoid confusion i was just joking about people calling it a rougelite, when rougelite is wrong, because is rogue not rouge

[dire sand]

But isnt it woke to call smth racist we are stuck in a loop now

[tender oxide]

Hades 2 is my favorite sitcom

[odd escarp]

Idk what u mean by that like using my data? Or something

[raw topaz]

But silksong is knightlike, not a soulslike

[robust basin]

These definitions get changed so fast I cannot keep up anymore

[dire sand]

Silksong is barely a soulslike

[odd escarp]

Oh I see

[weary axle]

yeah use your phone or whatever as a hotspot for your pc

[prisma monolith]

Silksong is hollowlike

[cerulean lake]

Steam. App iirc

[dire sand]

Neither can I, which makes me woke I think

[neat frigate]

Silksong is a hollowvania

[raw topaz]

*hollowlite

[limpid oar]

Is Hades 2 a Transistorlike?

[odd escarp]

Oh yeah I'll try that out hopefully it works

[brave urchin]

Hades 2 is my favorite visual novel.

[merry whale]

supergiantlike

[prisma monolith]

Hollouwlte

[robust basin]

Are you sure it doesn't make you racist?

[tender oxide]

Is hades 2 a Bisexual like?

[neat frigate]

What the hell is going on in here

[odd escarp]

Hades 2 best souls like jrpg

[brave urchin]

[raw topaz]

Holl-uwu-like

[prisma monolith]

Yes

[dire sand]

I'm not speedrunning a grifter career so I don't think so

[robust basin]

Only 4 ships? Nah ... It is barely a like

[brave urchin]

Knights of Guinevere detected.

[robust basin]

Oh!!!! I understand something now

[limpid oar]

Launch day, I will be real if AD is reading this it's about the point where 15 secs slowmode is becoming hard to read

[neat frigate]

Only 4 ships? Are they cutting Thessaly?

[hasty depot]

Hades II is a game. You can do cool things in it and have fun. Shirk the concept of genres or -likes entirely and trancend.

[raw topaz]

It could still be a Bisexual subscribe

[dire sand]

You're right, hades 2 is a genre-like

[tender oxide]

Bisexual notification bell

[brave urchin]

[robust basin]

Yes.... You get to ride Eris or Icarus over Thessaly!

[gritty nacelle]

Is the game out on Steam? Haven't gotten an update yet it seems.

[neat frigate]

You get to ride Icarus?

[cerulean lake]

4 hrs

[brave urchin]

Ride Eris or Icarus.

[limpid oar]

Very Bisexual of them to provide the choice

[dire sand]

Game has been out on steam since may 2024

[raw topaz]

A Gamelike

[robust basin]

Yeah the definitions are confusing for me, but I think it can!

[robust basin]

Don't put it on me!😝

[raw topaz]

Both

[tender oxide]

"Hades II is a game"

[brave urchin]

At the same time.

[robust basin]

Almost Greeklike

[prisma monolith]

Jobapplicationlike when

[brave urchin]

Hades II is a thing in the universe.

[raw topaz]

Eyyyyyy

[robust basin]

It truly is

[dire sand]

As much as I meme on genres they're good to have around cause otherwise it's like 'I like games' and someone else goes 'me too' and then you spend 3000 years finding out they mean call of duty and you mean paper mario

[tender oxide]

Woa you gotta censor those first three letter

[prisma monolith]

Sorry

[raw topaz]

I meant board games

[dire sand]

Actually I meant tv game shows

[raw topaz]

Lets play spirit island

[prisma monolith]

Yes Im a gamer, I have over 400 hrs on candy crush

[hardy sonnet]

hades 2 1.0 when 🥀

[limpid oar]

I think the trend of taking a successful game and naming a genre after it is a bit silly

[tender oxide]

Monopoly Hades 2 edition

[dire sand]

I mean

[brave urchin]

4 hours and 5 min.

[raw topaz]

Or did you mean you like game theory?

[dire sand]

Metroidvania is literally just that

[robust basin]

Poker with the arcana cards

[prisma monolith]

At this point hadeslike is more common than roguelike in the general audience that doesn't play roguelikes

[raw topaz]

Lets play prisoners dilemma

[brave urchin]

guilty.

[robust basin]

Why?

[dire sand]

Like it's done this because what are you gonna name soulslikes

[tender oxide]

Ah yes my favorite Mario Kart like, Sonic Racing Crossworlds

[prisma monolith]

The amount of times I see hadeslike on youtube when the game is nothing like hades is insane

[brave urchin]

Super Mario - like.

[dire sand]

Are you gonna name them all semi metroidvania hack and slash survival games

[prisma monolith]

Depression

[limpid oar]

most soulslikes I've seen could easily be called an action rpg

[brave urchin]

I mean I have yet to see another visual novel rougelite.

[dire sand]

No they can't

[raw topaz]

Naming genres after games helps give a solid reference point

[prisma monolith]

Yeah but action rpg is more broad

[dire sand]

Calling souls an action rpg means uncharted 4 and dark souls are the same genre

[raw topaz]

Action rpg is pretty useless at defining anything

[tender oxide]

I swear I saw people calling hyper light breaker like that and I was already going insane by that game's issues

[brave urchin]

Tetris is a role playing game, since i roleplay as falling blocks.

[dire sand]

Which idk they're just not the same genre

[raw topaz]

Neither action or rpg says anything at this point

[dire sand]

Also action rpg is the broadest genre we have it tells you zero

[tender oxide]

Nowadays it's mostly used to talk about Path of Exile, Diablo, those games

[prisma monolith]

Tehcnically Hades is an action rpg

[limpid oar]

Idk when i see a soulslike I literally think "oh it's another difficult action rpg"

[dire sand]

No diablo is a hack 'n slash, NOT an action rpg

[robust basin]

Should have done it in school.
"Renoir is a Manet like"

[raw topaz]

That's just... hack and slash?

[smoky rover]

Whatever diablo is, Hades also is

[reef acorn]

I'm confused, I just bought it on the Nintendo E-Shop where it says the game is live but I can't launch it on my switch 2. Is the game not live yet or what's going on?

[prisma monolith]

But is an action game and you roleplay as a witch

[dire sand]

Hack and slash dungeon crawler is diablo's full genre

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[prisma monolith]

And 3 minutes

[dire sand]

If isometric camera is all you need to be the same game then yes

[tender oxide]

You only pre loaded it on switch 2

[robust basin]

What is this Hades game you talk about?

[dire sand]

But then league of legends is the same genre as hades 2

[prisma monolith]

Then how come I like hades but not diabloe

[raw topaz]

Almonds

[reef acorn]

Jesus Christ...🙄 thank you guys. Was freaking out cause in the e shop it says it's live 🤦🏻‍♂️

[smoky rover]

Isometric camera, empowered skills dependent on the character and different armaments, yes

[dire sand]

League of legends = hades 2

[robust basin]

Damn... Always the poison

[prisma monolith]

League of legends

[odd escarp]

I need my stepdad log in for verizon to set up personal hot spot

[smoky rover]

Sure, I agree, if league was singleplayer it'd be the same genre lol

[limpid oar]

I don't see the issue with genres being broad honestly

[dense venture]

How many hours until rls?

[prisma monolith]

You can play solo with bots

[tender oxide]

taps the sign

[raw topaz]

League has single player elements

[dire sand]

Because genres help us talk about games we like and find games we like within specific niches

[prisma monolith]

If i mute everyone is a single player

[smoky rover]

And diablo has multiplayer elements. So what

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[dire sand]

If I wanna talk to people interested in similar genres

[prisma monolith]

There's a hades multiplayer mod, does that make it a legaueoflegendslike?

[dire sand]

Or want to find games in a genre, then action rpg is the most useless one around cause everything is lol

[limpid oar]

League is an RTS

[raw topaz]

Tell me Tranurz, are you fond of these... games?

[prisma monolith]

League is a moba

[limpid oar]

You click on the ground to move

[dire sand]

No I hate gamers

[sleek oar]

Amazing news, someone pissed me off astronomically, imma be so awake

[prisma monolith]

Wasd is being added soon, what happens now

[torpid grove]

fps

[dire sand]

It's isometric not fp

[sleek oar]

4 hours to go !!

[robust basin]

Is StarCraft a tower defence because they made a tower defence mod?

[prisma monolith]

Ofc

[raw topaz]

Becomes an RTK
Real
Time
Keyboard

(It never had strategy)

[frail cliff]

SOOOOOOON!!! (Also hi everyone i’m new to the server )

[dire sand]

Starcraft is an action rpg

[smoky rover]

Sure is. League is based on wc3

[prisma monolith]

League is based on dota

[robust basin]

OOOHHH!!! Makes sense! I still remember them advertising StarCraft ghost!

[prisma monolith]

Dota is based on wc3

[robust basin]

#IWasThere

[smoky rover]

Dota is a wc3 mod yes

[dire sand]

Dota is based on valve wanting money
