it plays like someone tried to make an action game out of souls game and forgot that actual action games are a thing
basically, its bad

Is Hades 2 still a thing? Completely forgot it even exists.

We need to compile all of these journalist articles for when they start pretending they never hated Stellar Blade. They did the same with Bayonetta and 2B.

>>712474304
Still in early access

>>712474304
Now that I'm thinking about it you're right. Wasn't it an early access launch? Shouldn't all the fans be making threads about its updates or something?

>>712474304
more people are playing hades 1 still LOL

>>712474502
The game is just quite simply fucking dogshit compared to the first

>they're lifting weights in the gym or reading in the park (touching grass is essential).
holy fuck you can't make this retarded shit up

diverse and "hot" in question:

>>712474945
What's wrong with it? Hades 1 only had an interesting plot and characters while the gameplay sucked.

>>712475090
holy fuck, these are unfuckable

>>712475090
>looks worse than every girl in the timesplitters series
Fucking hell.

what does diverse even mean

>>712475090
I hate this gay ass world.

>>712475090
is that a god in a fucking wheelchair

>>712476497
Loud

>>712476497
not a white male

>>712476594
The god in question Hephaestus had a bad limp so I can sort of understand the wheelchair but yeah it’s a stretch.

>>712474103 (OP)
>Kaur
SAAR

>>712475168
Hades 2 has mildly improved combat(controversial)
A gay boring plot and gay boring characters.
Its funny how supergiant refused to make sequels for fear of being derivative, made a sequel, and it has all the trappings of the word derivative. Youd think surely an imaginative studio like supergiant knows that a sequel needs new mechanics or at least to take old mechanics and put them on their head....nope.....Kroger Brand Hades

>>712476497
Not white

>>712476594
>doesn't know his Greek mythology
Hephaestus was a crippled god of smiths.

>>712474304
It kind of sucked worse than the first one somehow so people forgot about it after a week

>>712476774

>excellent technical execution
>completely retarded designs
Sad

>>712474103 (OP)

It's okay, soon they will be claiming that Stellar Blade is woke too because it has lesbians.

>>712475090
I can work with top middle

>>712474103 (OP)
Why are they so adamant about forcing this notion that conventional beauty is out of style and that the only people who still like that are incels?

>>712477125
Stellar blade is about adam and eve. Get your imaginary lesbians out of here. All you axe wounded weirdos try to do is subvert what people like

>>712476806
What did Hades II do to the combat that was controversial?

>>712478640
True ending literally requires 100% on your lesbo relationship bar. Stop trolling fucking retard there is nothing woke about hot lesbians.

>>712479340
True ending requires you to max out both eve and lilly. Fuck off and kill yourself

>>712475238
except aphrodite

>>712479465
*adam

>>712475090
Why did you crop out all the cleavage but leave all the bare-chested men?

>>712475090
Top left, top middle, bottom left, middle left, would.

>>712479465
No it only requires to take his hand while Lily's hidden relationship bar must be at 100%. Game is pandering to everyone stop being a faggot.

>>712475090
to be, Aphrodite is hot, but she's not diverse in the slightest lmao

>>712475090
Would, would, wouldn't
Would, wouldn't, wouldn't
Wouldn't,would, wouldn't
Would, wouldn't, wouldn't

>>712479718
No, go peddle your filth elsewhere fag

>>712479718
The game needs you to max out her friendship because she opens up and talks about her dead friend. She dies otherwise. Friendships aren't gay dude. Men can be friends with men and chicks can be friends with chicks without being gay

>>712475090
Everybody but a Greek.

>>712475090
Bottom left is cute but over designed.

>>712475090
Not bad, better than the first game at least. Why so brown though?

>>712475090
Reminder that their logic was "well the gods are divine so they don't have to be greek presenting". I mean it makes sense, so lets apply it to other pantheons and see how the same people respond.

>>712475090
i do not understand what the problem with these designs is

>>712475090
>this is peak absolute cinema!!!!

>>712480725
I'm sure they'll get to the Nordic pantheon before long, and popular culture ignores all the rest so they will, too.

>>712475090
This is fucking disgusting, it looks like if you prompted an ai to combine persona with danganronpa and a little bit of cuck juice

>>712479039
NTA, but
>Chopped down the mobility
>Changed weapon progression and weapon forms and the way they work. >In Hades 1 you could use a weapon and find a build for it that made it fun even if you didn't like it, and usually there was a form that make it click with your playstyle.
>In Hades 2 the weapon forms usually just make you jump through extra hoops to the do what they did in the base form with some slight differences.
>Enemies are slower but tend to fill the screen with more shit you have to run around
>The new weapons just kinda suck in general compared to 1, feeling less responsive and satisfying, i.e Excalibur was slow, but not unwieldy, while Zorephet hits like a truck but misses all the fucking time because it's too slow

>>712481751
>Chopped down the mobility
Instant recipe for garbage. It's like the one universal thing people have fun with.

>>712476774
That would make sense if he didn't have a prosthetic leg. And it would probably also help if he didn't look like he's straight out of some gay fatfag fetish comic.

>>712474304
>uglify gods because of reasons
>make world far less dynamic and intractable than previous game
>add story no one asked for
>female mc
Nothing about the game is memorable.
What made Hades 1 so fun was its dynamic and interactive world, every attempt after each death felt different, which made it fun. The combat was also really good. In Hades 2, they somehow added more story content, but there’s actually less in it.
