only so many times I can go thru the same floors with the same enemies and the same bosses and the same weapons and the same everythings. for something so lauded I expected some variety. I'm sure some bozo will tell me "umm actually curse, there's six billion lines of bespoke artisinal stone baked dialogue" but you can blow it out your ass if the whole thing's contingent on slaving away in the metalayer currency mines for hours on end
every room seems to go on forever man. imagine if in isaac or monolith you cleared a room and then it filled back up with the same shit five more times. what the fuck guys? you have like four enemies per zone, you don't need to rub it in. is the expectation that I'm basking and luxuriating in these encounters? I'm not. I'm bored before I hit the third floor
maybe it gets better once I suck up to every NPC and collect all the gizmos and upgrade the weapons and upgrade the dungeon and upgrade the shop and upgrade the trinkets and fill out my pokedex, but I'll never know. I fuck with greek mythology when it's about cronus eating his kids and perseus cutting heads and severed testicles goin in the sea, but I don't think I'm the target audience for this kinda snarky post-tumblr young adult stuff. I'm glad folks like jacking off to it, I guess?
probably beats playing it!

"umm actually curse, there's six billion lines of bespoke artisinal stone baked dialogue" Implies any of the dialogue in Hades is good...
There is nothing more modern indie then a game about a family who all hates each other until they get bored of that and stop having a conflict for no reason and also everybody has abs so you can post things like "bisexuals are FEASTING" online about it
Truth.
"snarky post-tumblr young adult stuff" well said brudda
going through hades 2 off the back of some fond hades 1 memories and you'll be pleased to know that every issue you've brought up here is at minimum doubly pronounced in the sequel
i'd played this game a decent bit at the start of early access, went back to it when it released and everyone was raving about it and i just didnt get it! both why it'd got so much fanfare and also how i'd managed to put so much time into the early access version. i think i lasted two runs post 1.0 launch before calling it lol
Meowpewtermeow is so fucking right i fucking hate hades fuck the GREEKS
Keep spitting, please. I played this during beta and couldn't get into it, then it fully released and I got bored after an hour. Rogue-likes are such a scourge on game design rn.
you honestly raise some fair points about the artificial length of the rooms, it becomed especially apparent at higher heat levels. maybe it's different in hades 2?
me and you like this 🤞 here, stay based and real
these comments crept up on me before I had a chance to respond but I appreciate the massive hater energy in here 🫡
imagine if they had to courage to make more pyre instead
never found the words to express my feelings on hades, mainly bc i never wanted to think about it again. but this is great, realest thing since sliced bread.

Genuinely, you can get the true ending with impunity and this costs you the vast majority of NPC dialogue/characterization because everyone skips to their postgame state. You don't even gotta do any speedrun tech/skips/exploits, it's an entirely natural thing that can happen.
