we've found the one person who didn't like smash ultimate

slow obsidian
#

i mean some new fighters are just reskins of older npcs/bosses in brawl/4

#

👀

faint moth
#

the CoD campaigns were also havily advertised when CoD did campaigns

slow obsidian
#

cough ridley

faint moth
#

that doesn't change that CoD is mostly for the multiplayer

slow obsidian
#

60$ is quite high for a multiplayer exclusive game

#

i mean, The witcher 3 came out at 40$ off the bat

#

point being, i hate games from nintendo at that pricepoint because they retain their value so well...

#

trying to buy used is a nightmare with nintendo xD

faint moth
#

i dunno, I've found copies of used nintendo games for under 40 aussie dollars before

#

it's just a matter of knowing where to look

slow obsidian
#

40

drowsy escarp
#

Yeah that happens

#

Ultimate is $90 here

slow obsidian
#

i bought Halo 4 for 8$

drowsy escarp
#

And it's still going to sell out

slow obsidian
#

most likely

#

it's a big IP lol

drowsy escarp
#

It's a good game

slow obsidian
#

i bet it feels slick mechanically

#

i just don't like how it's priced tbh

#

and that some of the stages in the game are just reskins

#

but that's just me /r/unpopular_opinion

faint moth
#

that's not nessesarily a bad thing klinkShrug

#

not everything has to be brand new klinkShrug

slow obsidian
#

Smash 4 for the 3DS is still 30$ to this day used

#

;>_>

#

don't get me wrong

#

i love nintendo but i've just now realised how high they price their stuff

#

the 3DS uses such little/cheap hardware 250$ is insane for how much it actually costs to build, ship & sell

#

the Switch uses an x64Arm chipset that the Nvidia Shield TV uses

#

except, more dated

#

should be like a 180$ console at msrp tbh

#

but life doesn't work like that :/

faint moth
#

except the 3ds doesn't cost 250$ anymore

Can't imagine what it is to launch a game just before a week-end, and with christmas so close... Wish you courage and good luck shadesmile

ancient galleon
#

I imagine a lot of people come here to ask about when Hades will be released on console, considering their answer in the FAQ is rather vague.

solid cobalt
#

you guys work on the weekend 😮

lean nebula
#

Hey Supergiant, just letting you know I am absolutely not touching Hades as long as it’s exclusive to the Epic Games Launcher. I love your games and I know you’re all great people, and I don’t want you to think I hate you or that I’m mad - but by making this exclusivity decision you have lost my interest. Best wishes.

untold cove
#

It'll come to Steam when it's done

#

Just early access is on the Epic store

solid cobalt
#

maybe then it's time to state that I will use any platform or buy any console if that's the only way to play an SGG game 😄

brisk salmon
#

#

just saw some guy on a polish news site saying that all the supergiant games are bad, bastion is the most overrated game he's ever played and that the only thing the devs got right about it was the music gilmanrage

#

wonder what exactly makes that guy happy

outer girder
#

thank you for that, I needed that

plucky adder
#

If you don’t like Transistor or Pyre idk what you would like

#

I can see not liking Bastion though

outer girder
#

My brother hated Transistor

frozen ferry
#

O:

outer girder
#

He didn't like the storytelling and how the game didn't explain anything

#

But he didn't even get to Sybil

#

Before he quit

tall sleet
#

eh some people just dont like certain types of games 🤷 nothing you can do about it

outer girder
#

Yeah

#

I don't exactly have the greatest of relations with my brother anyway so whatever

frozen ferry
#

oh, i also remember that one guy on gog.com, in his review of pyre he said that the game is trash cuz "it's just basketball with three people on each side, how could anyone think that this is fun"

#

aaaah

tall sleet
#

eh, just his opinion. game wasnt for him. although thats not an excuse to call the game trash tho

faint moth
#

Everyone's differant, it's impossible for everyone to agree on everything

#

It would make life boring if that were the case where it were possible

frozen ferry
#

yes, but like

#

ugh

faint moth
frozen ferry
#

it's just hard for me to imagine someone starting one of these games up for the first time and after 15 minutes or so saying: "I literally hate everything about this"

faint moth
#

Personally I loved how transistor presented it's story to the player, forcing you to think about what's going on

tall sleet
#

i personally just dont like people who say a game is bad just because they dont like it. like, i dont like dota but im not gonna call it a bad game

willow pasture
#

But like, subjectivity is implied

tall sleet
#

🤷

faint moth
#

It's implied sure, but games have quite a few objective elements to them that "bad" isn't the best way to describe not liking something

tall sleet
#

if someone were to say that Pyre has a bad story because they didnt like it, then they're just wrong. if they were to say that they didnt like pyre's story or the way that it was presented then thats cool

faint moth
#

Similar with music in general, you may not like let's say for example the bastion soundtrack (first thing that popped into my head) but it doesn't make it bad by any stretch due to how much went into making it what it is

#

On the other hand something like "call me maybe" or "friday" those 2 songs are objectively terrible songs on many levels

honest geode
#

I find a lot of people are also not great at divorcing the idea of "bad" from the concept of "not enjoyable to me"

#

like for example I get very little out of competitive shooters -- I'm generally not great at them and that sort of ranked competition doesn't appeal to me as much as it does to a lot of people

#

that doesn't mean Overwatch isn't a fantastic game

#

it's just a genre that i don't enjoy, so it's never going to appeal to me in particular

drowsy escarp
#

I think this is happening a lot with fortnite, people who don't like it saying it's bad, when it's actually a well made game, that's just not for me/them

honest geode
#

exactly

frozen ferry
#

whenever I see someone say that something is bad bcuz of one very specific thing I'm super frustrated, this one time someone literally told me that Mortal Kombat X is the worst because Cassie Cage takes a selfie during one of her fatalities

#

at that point I was like

tall sleet
#

lmao that selfie is the (imo) best part of the game

frozen ferry
#

"do you even care about fighting and stuff?"

#

ugh

honest geode
#

if you're gonna crap on a fighting game for its fatalities, crap on Guilty Gear

#

because oh boy does that game have some weird finishers

ancient galleon
#

I’ve loved all of Supergiant’s games thus far, but they appeal to a relatively niche type of consumer, compared to the likes of overwatch and Call of Duty.

frozen ferry
#

the first time i beat transistor, omg

#

that felt sooooo

#

<3

honest geode
#

I still haven't beat transistor or pyre

#

I need to go back to both of them

#

pyre the matches just take a while, and transistor the combat was a bit difficult for me

ancient galleon
#

I agree that it’s silly that so many people can’t seperate the idea of bad from a subjective disliking of something, but the majority of people who play games fit into that category, from my experience.

#

Are you playing both on the highest difficulty, ever?

faint moth
#

That reminds me, I should play through pyre again on true nightwing mode and get absolutely destroyed by everything klinkLUL

ancient galleon
#

I’m not usually that into it, but I really enjoyed the dark and gloomy atmosphere throughout Transistor, and it was complimented perfectly by the beautiful tracks playing in the background. Gameplay was enjoyable as well, in my opinion, but everything that contributed to creating the atmosphere is what appealed to me the most.

#

I didn’t find Pyre quite as unique or appealing in that respect, but the gameplay felt less repetitive and the allies and foes were more fleshed out, compared to in Transistor.

faint moth
#

Each genre of game has their strengths and weaknesses in that regard, it's a lot easier to fully flesh out a character in a visual novel type game where the majority of the story/character interactions are mostly done through text, compaired to the isometric rts/action type game of transistor where most of the plot is presented through either the surrounding environment or vaguely given to you through the character interactions or experimenting with the transistor itself

ancient galleon
#

That’s true.

neon kayak
#

will Hades be available on Steam when it's finished?

faint moth
#

So naturally that will appeal more or less depending on how you like plot delivered to you

minor path
neon kayak
#

oops

faint moth
#

Personally I love games like Hyper Light Drifter and Transistor, where the plot is very vaguely given to you and it requires you to figure it out for oneself from what's given to you through character interaction and the environment around you

#

All good mate, it can be very easy to not notice a specific discord channel x3

honest geode
#

there are actually a few things from Supergiant games that remind me of Hyper Light Drifter

#

the multi-dash upgrade in Hades makes me want to just zip around everywhere like a maniac with the chain dash from HLD

faint moth
#

Chain dash in HLD is klinkGasm i love that ability sooo much

#

Totally hasn't led to me falling off many ledges at all

#

cannot decide if I should start playing Hades now or wait until its finished, what are you guys doing??

honest geode
#

absolutely start now

#

it's a full polished game already

teal crescent
#

its amazing that they achieved that in such a short amount of time

cursive crystal
#

I can't decide if I should buy it now or wait till I get a better computer, though with the way I keep putting off that purchase I might as well be waiting for the ps4 release

drowsy escarp
#

It runs fine on a bad computer (I have a 4 year old laptop and it runs fine), although you might need to turn down the resolution

cursive crystal
#

how well does your computer run pyre, because it's super choppy on mine

drowsy escarp
#

Not great, but if it's super choppy on yours hmm

cursive crystal
#

the trailer looks so awesome though I want

teal crescent
#

do i need a controller?

faint moth
#

Nah, you should be able to play with mouse + keyboard

drowsy escarp
#

frozen ferry
#

Hades gets pretty choppy on mine during the first boss fight

blissful night
#

Yeah to anyone wondering, Hades looks and feels finished. But there's only 30ish rooms per run and it is not fully optimized or balanced. But it is easily the BEST early access game in a long time.

stoic skiff
#

Absolutely

#

Whereas a lot of companies use early access as an excuse to sell a buggy mess, hades has a lot of polish already

trim monolith
#

It's kind of awesome to see it evolving right in front of me.

#

I was streaming, and the game Updated MID-STREAM

#

So I launched it again and we were reading the patch notes and stuff

#

It was so badass xD

#

Huh, https://supergiantgames.com doesn't work if you enter it that way directly, but http://supergiantgames.com will redirect you to http://www.supergiantgames.com instead of https://www.supergiantgames.com

lofty yoke
#

Hey, you are right

viscid orchid
#

I was just messing around and noticed that. The latter isn't secure, the store doesn't suffer from this problem though. Maybe just some htaccess redirect

lofty yoke
#

That's odd!

viscid orchid
#

It's somewhat of an issue for SEO, all your domain combinations should redirect to one spot, so if someone links Supergiant's website in any form, it always lands on the same URL. Although I don't think Google will make much of a distinction between https and http. I think most people would just grab the URL off Google to begin with, which points to the right URL.

#

I don't think this is intended behavior since you do use Let's Encrypt for your certificate on the store, but not on the main section

#

I also noticed that the HTTPS version of the site (not the store) is not secure because the content served is mixed.

#

For example

#

Should be served over HTTPS

#

If you check it, you'll see that it redirects to https, but the browser itself doesn't know that.

#

Just me being a stoopid nerd 🙃 . This happens to me sometimes when I forget things, they're small details, but details nonetheless

brisk salmon
#

Just wondering if we're going to get a goodie box for pyre (and eventually hades but like that literally just came out so... limesLUL ) because I bought the bastion and transistor ones and I require......... more. Always more. But also, y'know, please don't like... push yourselves friendly because you're already doing so much.

shell beacon
#

ok honestly i'm holding out for an art book

brisk salmon
#

Ohoho yesssss

shell beacon
#

i don't need posters, just a whole book of the Pyre backgrounds, single images, the Transistor backgrounds...

#

(the posters are gr8 tho don't get me wrong)

brisk salmon
#

I have a wall in my room dedicated to sgg posters

#

And also klimt... lol

shell beacon
#

thank you for reminding me

#

need to start looking for that red/klimt piece again

brisk salmon
#

Please tell me it's the kiss

shell beacon
#

ok, add SGG art book and 'a picture of red with the gold foil like klimt' to the list

brisk salmon
#

I'll cry but I'll enjoy it

#

Hahaha

shell beacon
#

i'm like...98% sure someone did 'portrait of adele bloch' but with red
but then again, maybe I dreamed it??

brisk salmon
#

I've just googled and can confirm both portrait and kiss have been done

#

I did my own artwork for red/blue years ago but I can only find the wip now. I'll try to take a picture of it over the holidays. I've always loved klimt and transistor's style being based on klimt makes me so so happy

orchid lodge
#

Odd question that I don't know where to ask. I've played about half of bastion and transistor, and kind of watched most of the rest including the end.
Should I.

  1. Finish those two games first.
  2. Play pyre
  3. Skip and get early hades
spare ermine
#

I'd say finish the games first before pyre cause that's what I did

#

All games are great and the endings are worth experiencing for Bastion and Transistor (idk the ending for Pyre yet)

untold cove
#

Finish Bastion first

spare ermine
#

^^

orchid lodge
#

Right. Part of the spoiler is.
I've seen both bastion and transistor endings.
And they're both. Really sad

untold cove
#

Then Pyre (but I'm biased cause it's my favourite)

orchid lodge
#

(I chose to leave in Bastion)

#

So. If it's worth doing myself then I will.

untold cove
#

Yeah, in Bastion you get the choice

orchid lodge
#

Otherwise, I'll take biased answer

untold cove
#

It's kinda personal, y'know?

orchid lodge
spare ermine
#

I finished the games chronologically (bastion, transistor, pyre)

#

But that's just me

#

frozen ferry
#

hades isn't finished yet so i think you might wanna finish previous games first :v

spare ermine
#

Ye

#

I'm holding off on Hades

neon kayak
#

I finished Transistor before Bastion, but I wouldn't say that's better

#

It's just the game I got first

tall sleet
#

I beat the games in reverse. Pyre -> transistor -> bastion

#

I had a really good time doing that

shell beacon
#

the gameplay is worth it imo

#

even knowing how transistor ends, i cried the second time

#

callback to earlier topic too: if SGG ever put out an IRL Book of Rites i would buy that

#

i just want so much stuff from their worlds

plucky adder
#

I did Bastion -> Pyre -> Transistor

drowsy escarp
#

I played them in order

#

played bastion, found transistor after I beat it, pre-ordered pyre the morning it became available

shell beacon
#

i will say (again, personal op here) it's really interesting to compare the games and see how SGG has developed and changed

#

Pyre is very different, whereas Bastion and Transistor seem more similar to each other, but Pyre just feels...right. like a proper continuation of Supergiant's work

stoic skiff
#

I found pyre first after seeing Mark Brown's video about feedback loops

#

Then I played Transistor, and finally, bastion

#

And now Hades

rugged light
#

I did transistor first after Totalbiscuits review of it, then bastion since that was the only other one at the time. Since then I've been following very closely as transistor and pyre are tied with Ori and the Blind Forest as my favorite games

#

I screamed louder than I care to admit with that reveal at the game awards this week o.o

grave island
#

Hahaha I think we all did

drowsy escarp
#

yeah

#

I was just like 'wait what omg omg thats so cool", clicked on the link, said words I'm not allowed to say here for about 2 minutes straight, and then bought it

shut dome
#

^^^^^
didn't even check the price or what the game was about i just instantly bought no questions asked

#

sg has all my trust and my soul too

drowsy escarp
#

yeah, I fully trust supergiant

faint moth
#

my response as soon as the SGG logo appeared in the trailer at the game awards was shouting "OMG OMG OMG" and proceeding to be giddy about the reveal for the majority of the day afterwards

nimble edge
#

Let's see, got Bastion first, played Bastion first, haven't finished it yet. Then bought Pyre, then a sale happened and I figured "lets just get the whole kit" and in came Transistor. Playing Pyre, will probably finish it before Bastion, and will probably start Transistor before finishing Bastion. (It's not that I don't like Bastion, I'm just not that great at it.)

@plush wadi Hey Morg, can you pass on to all of Supergiant two things for me?

    1st. The stories, character development, color scheme, mechanics, music settings, and anything else I might be missing ... Are complete and other Master pieces. You, EVERY. LAST. ONE. OF. YOU. made me cry, laugh, get to that one point of sheer determination/rage, in a time where I needed it the most. not only with Transistor (the first game of Supergiant's that I have ever played) , but with Bastion, And Pyre as well. (there is so much I want to say, but the fact that I am like Red an at a loss for words.) 

    2nd. Thank you isn't enough, cause I have fallen in deep an hopeless love for you guys. I know I sound like a die-hard fan-girl ATM, but I guess I am. 
I love what Supergiant is doing, so please, Keep at it! I would be willing to wait for however long anything you make gets out. ~<3

Also I really hope turning my text box into that isn't rude at all!!!

plush wadi
#

@polar rock i was just going to try get some sleep, and that was the nicest way to sign off. Thank you so much! You’re the reason we do what we do. ❤

outer girder
#

I concur with Emerald xP

#

Transistor was my first game too

#

Then about a year later I finally got around to playing Pyre, and then when I was done with that I played and finished Bastion, and now I've finished Transistor four or five times, Bastion twice and am working on a third, and Pyre is definitely next

#

I love all these games so much and I really look forward to playing Hades

Hades is early access on Epic Games's platform. Worth it

#

do you ever skip dialogues in SG games?

#

i had this big discussion the other day about god of war and how it doesn't allow you to skip all these prolonged walking sections and how the option to skip cutscenes wasn't available until they patched it in

rugged light
#

I never do unless its one I've heard before

#

I accidentally skipped one about 10 minutes into Hades so I got pissed and restarted my save 😂

#

especially now that in Hades all of the dialogue is fully voiced, I've probably payed more attention to it than ever

frozen ferry
#

YES

stoic skiff
#

Even after five playthroughs of Pyre I don't skip dialogue

dusty lotus
#

I only skip the dialogue in hades now that it's started repeating

stoic skiff
#

It still hasn't started repeating for me

#

I think

#

My memory's pretty bad so i might not have noticed

brisk salmon
#

I do at the moment after I've read it because I'm deaf due to an ear infection but when I am well again I'm so excited to finally hear how everyone sounds

#

It's like another part of the gift that keeps on giving!

#

I love listening to sgg voices though, even when I've played the game hundreds of times

Late, but skipping cutscenes should be illegal

Skipping cutscenes that you havent seen should be illegal

Heyo!

#

You folks wouldnt happen to have a png for the Supergiant Games logo I can use for the subreddit?

#

Oh nevermind I found one as I said that

proven furnace
#

It's funny how the Hades trailer says "From the makers of Transistor and Bastion"

viscid orchid
#

Transistor and Bastion are more recognizable than Pyre

#

Pyre didn't sell nearly as well as either

proven furnace
#

can't believe y'all did Pyre dirty like that hahaha it just got thrown under the bus

velvet tide
proven furnace
#

that's true and unfortunate tbh

#

people didn't like the sports theme

desert isle
#

I think it still did well, just not as much of a boom

proven furnace
#

loved the story and art though

velvet tide
#

its fine ill talk about pyre to ppl enough to cover it 💪 hfhfhg

desert isle
#

Some were thrown off by the changes

#

Myself was one

#

But I still liked it

proven furnace
#

tbh yeah I was shocked as well when I found out it was magic basketball instead of the usual isometric hack and slash

#

but it's still goood

#

and I liked how the songs have so many variants

viscid orchid
#

It's a game in a strange genre. A large part of the game is reading text, and the rites feel more like an excuse to have a "game" part with disjointed RPG elements.

desert isle
#

Others say it's the other way around

#

A top-tier sports RPG with words in between

#

It's all over the place

proven furnace
#

is NG+ worth a try

untold cove
#

Ye

proven furnace
#

I wasn't interested enough in Bastion's NG+ tbh

desert isle
#

I liked both aspects

#

But maybe playing a lot of PES as a kid helped

#

Actually, it probably did

velvet tide
#

ng+ on steamhas a portal cameo and imo its worth it for that

#

I found the 2 weapons only rule bland

#

ng+ of pyre??

NOOO BASION

(what's PES)

desert isle
#

I semi-spedrun Bastion on NG+ tbh

proven furnace
#

wait what's the portal cameo

desert isle

#

portal turret. baby girl....baby

viscid orchid
#

Marketing-wise I think the game could have done better too.

proven furnace
#

how come I've never heard of a portal cameo lmao

viscid orchid
#

The game kind of just hit it halfway out of the park with the reveal

#

and then deflated

velvet tide
#

its called gel cameo secret skill its for stteam only

proven furnace
#

Transistor is easily my favorite though, the insane amount of function combinations you can have is amazing

velvet tide
#

oh transistor fighting is the BEST

desert isle
#

But see, that allows to be the cool gamer kids that say "dude you missed out on Pyre"

velvet tide
#

THEY ALL DID CAUSE IT'S THE BEST

#

we are pyre fans first and human beings second 😤 🙏

untold cove
#

👆 Basically yeah

faint moth
#

I'm not even a hooman 😛

proven furnace
#

Supergiant really didn't give us any room to get hyped about Hades lmao

#

they just went and released early access

velvet tide
#

YEAH IT WAS A SURPRISE GAME

proven furnace
#

straight-up slammed quality content onto my plate

#

lET ME HYPE PLEASE

viscid orchid
#

I think the success of procedural games like Slay the Spire and Dead Cells led to Supergiant making the decision of going towards that type of game. It also fixes the marketing issue they had with Pyre where they reveal the game, and then it doesn't get as much fanfare as their prior games did afterwards to some extent as it becomes a fixture. However, and maybe that's just my uneducated opinion, but Hades being on the Epic Store is a risky decision in some ways.

#

There's a certain visibility that comes from being on Steam, and I would argue that's part of why games like StS and Dead Cells succeeded

desert isle
#

I get the feeling that was kind of the idea there though

viscid orchid
#

But we don't have a looking glass into the future

desert isle
#

To get a more focused testing audience

proven furnace
#

I think SG is still trying to aim for Steam early access

viscid orchid
#

No, it's not a testing thing, it's mostly a way for them to keep the audience engaged.

proven furnace
#

it's p cool that they supported the epic store though

#

more competition in the market

faint moth
#

The fact that it was revealed at the game awards of all things kinda mitagates the risk of being on the epic launcher somewhat

#

you have hundrend's of thousands of eyes on the trailer

#

at the one time

viscid orchid
#

I don't think that's the problem, there were a lot of eyes on Pyre as well, just half as many as Transistor did

#

half of a million is a lot of people.

proven furnace
#

people were hyped about the song from pyre

desert isle
#

A slumdunk's still a slamdunk, as they say

#

And I need to kick the habit

faint moth
#

where as all the pervious announcement trailers you never had that, sure they had trailers aty e3 i think, but they were definitely not reveal trailers

viscid orchid
#

Supergiant going for a genre that's already been done by other studios isn't a bad thing. I could say it also mirrors their decision to use mythos that already exist and put their spin on it.

proven furnace
#

mhm I love that idea

desert isle
#

Using an obscure figure helps as well

#

Gives you more creative leeway

proven furnace
#

it's amazing how it's hard to believe Logan Cunningham was the narrator for all 4 games lmao

#

he sounds really different each time

#

maybe except Bastion and transistor

#

but I rlly thought it was someone else in pyre haha

faint moth
#

he sounds similar in bastion ans transistor

proven furnace
#

yeah

faint moth
#

in pyre I thought it was a completely different VA

desert isle
#

He went Stephen Russel mode

faint moth
#

with transistor I picked it up right away

#

that it was the same VA

viscid orchid
#

But it will be interesting to see how this develops for Supergiant. Putting their game on the Epic Store is a risky move, but I think if that fails, Supergiant knows full well they can release on Steam whenever they want as a backup plan, and it's likely better for them to get their dedicated fanbase to buy the game on the Epic Store. Also this Discord also fulfills part of that objective; it will help launch whatever they put out there out of the stratosphere so-to-speak. It's very good to have a velocity on social media.

#

If they put out a Youtube video for instance, and 500 on this server watch it, it's 500 people that not only come off platform, but they're also 500 people who are dedicated enough to be on here, and thus they're far more likely to interact with the content, which will make their video garner more attention through the algorithm.

#

I just make everyone here sound like numbers

desert isle
#

We're all numbers in the simulation called real life

faint moth
#

Real life is just a terrible MMORPG with a tonne of microtransactions 😛

viscid orchid
#

And going from the amount of interaction they got on social media, that was a resounding success for them. Hades has done better across the board in a week than Transistor has in many months.

desert isle
#

Hopefully no reviewer plagiarizes another when 1.0 drops

viscid orchid
#

That was great publicity for dead cells lmfao

desert isle
#

Wonder what happened to that dude now

#

I know he got fired

faint moth
#

I mean if they be, a) good publicity for the game and b) that reviewer will get found out and lose their job for being bad

viscid orchid
#

It definitely wasn't intentional, no writer would agree to ruin their career to make someone's indie game popular unless they got something from it

faint moth
#

It may have been intentional, humans are very strange beings and sometimes do things that make no logical sense whatsoever

wait... a reviewer plagiarized another ? Was he that lazy?

alternatively, i doubt it would happen, but I’d love to see jodi from pyre in smash

Build red off of shulk with his monado fx

I'd argue that pyre characters would be harder to translate into smash because of aura

I bet they could make a basic cast work. They use tangentially similar mechanics for characters like Greninja.

This reminds me of that time I saw some fun little fan concept for an "Indie cross-over fighting game" like Smash. Had Red, The Kid, characters from Furi and Darkest Dungeon and other indie games. It looked fun but it was nothing but a small little idea.

do the same command that you did to get the rank. If you already have it, it'll go away

afaik pyre is also a longer game than hades in its current state. (it’s the longest competed sgg for sure with an average play time of 8-10 hours.) you’re welcome to play the games in whatever order and at whatever pace because the only thing that matters is if you’re having an enjoyable game experience in the end

Every time someone mentions average playtime for Pyre, I feel the need to share the fact that my first Pyre playthrough took me a total of 44 hours

if you're looking for a longer experience, Pyre

#

if you're looking for something fairly short, transistor

keen tinsel
#

Thanks, I'll go with Pyre since I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi. Is there any replayability in either game?

neon kayak
#

I'd say excluding Hades Pyre is their most replayable game.

#

Or to be more appropriate it has the most replayable story. Transistor's gameplay is probably more replayable with the randomized enemies. But the story of Pyre can be rather different depending on what choices you make.

keen tinsel
#

Thanks for letting me know, I'm looking forward to both

tacit agate
#

I like Transistor better than Pyre personally

#

But like, there isn't a bad game from Supergiant

neon kayak
#

Oh yeah. They are all great.

tacit agate
#

My ranking would currently be Transistor > Bastion = Hades > Pyre

#

Though it's hard to rank Hades since it's early access

neon kayak
#

I'd say Pyre > Transistor > Bastion.
They all have superb stories and I don't know if I can even really rank them but I did feel like the wilds section of Bastion dragged on for too long which isnt helped by the annoying enemies. Pyre's soundtrack is genius and as I said, considering they are all rather short games, I feel like Pyre is the one which best utilizes it's short length as it's story (and soundtrack!) has variables.
Hades is looking like it will end up having the best gameplay.

#

Although I will say bastion probably has the best ending of the lot.

cursive sage
#

Pyre > Bastion > Transistor for me

#

and no clue where to put Hades because for me it's largely about story/worldbuilding

#

which are strong for all of them, but ultimately Pyre's worldbuilding/atmosphere give it the top spot for me, as well as the integration of mechanics and story

tacit agate
#

Eh, I never really got into Pyre; the sports game aspects never really appealed and the fact that losing a match changed the story irreparably put a lot of pressure on every interaction (since you could never fix your mistakes, you have to live with them until the end)

cursive sage
#

See that's what's good about Pyre for me

#

failure doesn't cost you content, it changes the narrative

#

and makes the game feel like it has more weight for me

tacit agate
#

Eh, I very much disagree. It's like if in Hades, dying early in the first run would mean that you never got to talk to Nyx later on.

#

The fun part of these games, for me, is that failure is a challenge to overcome

#

Not an albatross that can never be removed

faint moth
#

you can't really compare Hades to Pyre though, they are very very differant games

tacit agate
#

Oh, they are indeed

#

But that's why I like Hades more

#

In Hades, dying means you're a bit stronger to try again and do better next time

#

In Pyre, losing means a failure that sticks with you forever and can never be overcome

#

And philosophically I enjoy the first a lot more

faint moth
#

that's not exactly the case

cursive sage
#

It means a different story, idk. Like if you fail you get more time with a companion, and a lot of branching things in the narrative based on who does get out.

tacit agate
#

Yah

cursive sage
#

and winning is also a compelling choice because of that imo

tacit agate
#

I like narratives to be based on what I choose to do, not based on how skillful I am at the sports game

#

But to each their own; I just don't think I'll ever enjoy Pyre as much as the other games for that reason

cursive sage
#

yeah I guess so. For me Pyre is what I always want out of games. It's really hard to make a game feel like it has genuine stakes without punishing the player for certain choices, and I think Pyre rides that line really well.

faint moth
#

each to their own ^_^

cursive sage
#

but yeah, I get why it could feel frustrating rather than like just a fun time

cursive crystal
#

I admire how Pyre has a different take on what failure means in the narrative, especially paired with how there are no definitive "best" or "worst" endings

cursive sage
#

^

tacit agate
#

Yeah. Part of it is also I struggle with anxiety, so hearing "your success or failure in a ball game irrevocably alters the story in a way that you can never overcome or try again" is an instant turn-off.

cursive sage
#

yeah fair enough. My favorite games in general tend to be kinda stressful 🤔

tacit agate
#

That's legit

#

(I do btw really enjoy Hades because while it's intense and stressful, each run through takes a handful of minutes, so taking the wrong boon etc doesn't penalize you for very long)

cursive crystal
#

and for that you can restart rites and try again if you feel like you're going to lose

cursive sage
#

yeah, I agree with that as well. Hades is fun and interesting for completely different reasons. I 100% believe in supergiant to use the rogue-like genre's potential for storytelling really well.

faint moth
#

that's something I never realised that existed untill True Nightwing mode came out klinkLUL

cursive sage
#

enjoying it already and excited to see where it goes

tacit agate
#

(Also Pyre is not at all a bad game! I just don't like it as much as Transistor, which is a pretty damn high bar to reach)

cursive sage
#

yeah, there are no bad choices with SG games at this point imo

#

played through all the games in the last year after I discovered Pyre and very quickly became a rabid fan

tacit agate
#

I got into Bastion when it came in a Humble Bundle and have bought each as it came out since

#

On every platform I have

wooden abyss
#

hades are really good omg

blazing zephyr

"Mac
Do any members of the dev team play Dungeons and Dragons? I feel like the races from Pyre would make amazing homebrew character options!
Greg
Indeed, there are a number of D&D nerds at Supergiant, and D&D has directly or indirectly influenced aspects of each of our games. In the early Bastion prototyping days, back before there was ANY artist working at Supergiant, monsters scanned from D&D books served as placeholders...!" And thanks to that answer I love you even more <3. It is not like I "borrowed" Jodi's design for my D&D campaign, not at all :x

#

Is there any particular reason you guys chose to write your engine in XNA over using an existing engine for Hades?

untold cove
#

This is the same engine they've used for all their games

#

Just modified a bit over the 7 years since they created it

faint tusk
#

probably lets them personalize the engine to fit their games' specific needs if i were to guess. you can usually build tools in pre-existing engines, but this lets them create something best suited for their pipeline specifically.

#

i'm no expert on engines, but that's my guess

dusty lotus
#

There's even bastion and pyre dialogue in the game files

#

Couldn't find anything transistor related

untold cove
#

What happened to the non-Hades tech support?

olive hull
#

its the very last channel now

untold cove
#

Yeah, but it's -archived now
What's up with that?

velvet tide
#

if you have a non hades tech problem from now on you just die
JK IDK i was wondering too

boreal vigil
#

seems other places work better for them

#

or something

untold cove
#

It's double weird, they shut down a feedback channel just as they get their own feedback bot working

velvet tide
#

but yeah if i had to guess id say theyre trying to redirect tech support another way ?

#

@cursive galleon you were the one messing w channels last night right, whats up w this mystery? :0

cursive galleon
#

Morgan made the changes though I had proposed some of them. The best way to get tech support is using the Contact page on our official web site, as we're best equipped to track and respond to inquiries there.

#

Referring to tech support for games other than Hades.

velvet tide
#

OOPS hfhfhg thats what i get for not checking the log itself 😅

cursive galleon
#

There was very little traffic in that channel and, as we grow the number of channels on this server, we want to be mindful of retiring channels that aren't actively in use. The more channels there are the more intimidating it can be for new members of the server to get their bearings.

untold cove
#

Speaking of which, we're over six thousand now

#

Seems like just a few days ago we passed 5K

#

And Jen still doesn't have her Supergiant role

velvet tide
#

if you remember when this server had like 30 people you qualify for a veterans discount

cursive galleon
#

Re: Jen's server role, don't know what happened there but should be fixed, thank you for the heads-up

I like the piles of scumbag plushies

I was thinking the video would be like a series of 5-7 minute videos so I’m SUPER happy with how much content was there!

rugged light
#

yep isnt it awesome

#

but now the wait begins shadegrief

velvet tide

tbh tho like i hope it feels ok to have them filming......................i hope they can still like feel comfy at work......... gjgkgjkgk

#

did you see Michael sipping some nice drink while audio recording

#

he looked comfy as heck!

sturdy oasis
#

yeah tho aren’t they sending the clips themselves? Don’t think there’s a dude from noclip there at all but idk

velvet tide
#

oh good!!

cosmic ether
#

it was both i think, according to the introductory video

sturdy oasis
#

Cuz that’d be awkward you’d permanently be in The Office

velvet tide
#

oh? i thought it was like "one of our noclip guys lives near them"

#

YEAH

#

AAAA THE OFFICE BUT ITS SGG

cosmic ether
#

i think it said one of the noclip guys lived nearby and dropped by to film for a few days a month

sturdy oasis
#

VERY GOOD

cosmic ether
#

but then sgg also sent them some clips

#

*the noclip cameraperson

sturdy oasis
#

Ohok at least it was the same person so they weren’t like a stranger

yep I read that was well

SGG but it's a sitcom

awww i felt so bad at that part

#

im glad the launch turned out well for them in the end

velvet tide
#

yes!!!

sturdy oasis
#

I wonder if Greg was typing the announcement here while at the game awards I wasn’t around right when the trailer dropped but it seemed he was pretty quick about it

cobalt gust
#

might have had it copypasted and ready to send

#

the noclip doc was amazing

#

getting to see so much insight into these amazing games

#

i really liked watching the noclip video about you guys. when playing your games i imagined how you guys must've produced such wonderful experiences. it is just as deliberate and with the attention to detail and careful handcrafting as i expected. looking forward to the next episodes and to the rest of hades!

The noclip documentary was HNNNNNNNGGG 👌

How do I leave feedback?

grave island
#

go to the bot commands and type ?rank Early Access

#

if you have a bug to report, do that with the in-game bug reporter

#

pine crescent
#

thanks!

grave island
#

@pine crescent there's an option to turn off auto-lock in the settings menu; did you mean something else?

pine crescent
#

ok, cool, didn't fidn it on my own ^_^

grave island
#

Menu > Options > Controls

#

There's a check box for "aim assist"

pine crescent
#

Altho disabling it for certain enemies would still be a good feedback

#

pot guys pathing is super offender

grave island
#

You mean make it so some enemies never have aim assist?

pine crescent
#

or when moving at least

grave island
#

mk, if you make a more specific suggestion along those lines i think it would be welcome feedback!

pine crescent
#

helpful mods are helpful, thanks @grave island ^_^

grave island
#

no problem!

pine crescent
#

I need to test a bit more though.

#

IDK how bad aiming at pots is on gamepad, and I remember hating on bomb throwing skellies dying at the end of the room, which locks you in place, unable to dodge their spam

Will Hades released in mobile apps ??

eager lava
#

Not until it's out of early access I suppose, which will take 1 year+, it's on #hades-faq

#

Still, nothing confirmed at this stage

#

ahh.. well, will be waiting for mobile version, maybe like transistor 😄

hollow tree
#

hey! if i want to play all supergiant games, what ordershould i go with?

minor path
#

any order you like! they're not connected

#

it depends entirely on which story or what sort of gameplay you're more interested in

warm birch
#

You could pick them all up at discounted prices at Steam right now

#

I recommend Bastion or Transistor first becausr those two a pretty similar gameplay wise and Pyre is pretty different but still really good

hollow tree
#

i have them all

#

i only bought transistor and i guess ill play it first

#

then bastion then pyre

#

Can’t wait for the next episode of the documentary!
Also shoutout to the one and only K120 keyboard haha 😄

tacit agate
#

Bastion, Transistor, Hades imo

sturdy oasis
#

this is Pyre erasure represent

devout otter
#

haven't played hades yet, but i think pyre ha some of the most replayability of the first three

ripe ice
#

Pyre is by far my favorite of their games

#

but if you came for the gameplay with Pyre you'll me sorely disappointed, as the meat of it is the story

#

and the characters

analog grail
#

ahhhhh im hoping to get hades tonight and im real excited

#

i havent finished pyre yet but im a sucker for roguelites and dungeon crawlers

compact wigeon
#

you'll enjoy Hades then!

analog grail
#

im sure combo that with supergiant games its freakin amazin

compact wigeon
#

do you play with a mouse/keyboard, or controller?

topaz hornet
#

why do all of the games soundtracks have to be SO GOOD

#

all of the ones with lyrics, especially in Pyre and Bastion

rugged light
#

@pallid willow Be careful of the language please 🙏

#

But I agree, the songs with lyrics have always been my favorites throughout the series. Darren and Ashley have such amazing voices

Oh my god, I'm so sorry!

Nope

did they say anything possibly

grave island
#

Oh hold on i have an official statement

👌

grave island
#
Is Hades a multiplayer game, or are there any plans for multiplayer?
Hades is a single-player game. We have no plans to add multiplayer, as we have been building the design and narrative of Hades with a solo experience in mind.```
