Thread 725128159

Hades 2 is fun as hell and I don't care what some chuds on 4chan say about it.

>>725128159 (OP)
hades 1 had better combat, bosses, boons, plot, visuals, soundtrack

>>725128159 (OP)
/v/ likes Hades 2

>>725128781
>combat
2 weapons in each game suck so i'd call them.about the same
>bosses
Scylla is probably the best boss of both games - Hades is the only really good H1 boss
>boons
Varies. I like the new Poseidon and Zeus ones - Ares sucks ass in both games
>plot
I'll concede - new ending helps though
>visuals
False
>Soundtrack
Both are alright but far from Korb's best work

Also Artemis is my wife

>Scylla is probably the best boss of both games -
shes an immensurable snorefest with way too big a healthbar
practically no attack is even remotely close to posing a threat and its all super slow paced except their hp is too big. So up until you get many perma upgrades its a huge chore
if anything Chronos phase 2 mogs every other boss supergiant has if not for the annoying minion spam being too high before the perma upgrade
>visuals
the portraits in H2 are such a downgrade, hell the artemis you posted is practically infamous for looking like a nosedive in talent compared to hades 1 artemis. absolutely bland lazy ass shading, much less detailed everything, much blander emotion and lame pose, and just feels like they hired someone who has been drawing for half as many years
the only area with as much chamber gameplay and background variety as the average hades 1 area in the sequel is tartarus, because of course they ctrl+c ctrl+v'd it from hades 1

>>725129349
I think the portraits in Hades 2 look sharper and more appealing :)

>>725129349
I like Scylla largely for the synchronization of music to gameplay - fighting a band of sirens who perform their boss theme and having the instruments fade as you beat each is cool.
Really I think the only outright bad H2 boss is Eris, whereas Lernie and the Furies were both the worst of H1.
>hell the artemis you posted is practically infamous for looking like a nosedive in talent compared to hades 1 artemis
I have genuinely never heard a single person say that
I also like that H2 adds backgrounds to the portraits based on which environment you're in

I will not buy it
I will not play it
I will not even pirate it
Fuck off

>>725129632
im going to beat you up

>>725129950
Chrinos's design is pretty neat

>>725129950
These all look good though?

>>725129950
what's wrong with the cyclops

Finally beat all rivals. Only thing left is Arachne's story and 32 heat, but can't be arsed to do either right now.

>>725130330
I cheesed both the last fonal rival fights by using aspect of persephone with hestia on attack - basically unlimited invulnerability
I regret nothing - i got my fucking statues

>>725129091
>Hades is the only really good H1 boss
Theseus and the Minotaur is ludokino.

>>725129950
Isn't Hephaestus supposed to look ugly as shit though?

>>725130258
Not him but i greatly dislike the giant nipple eyes
>>725130425
I like their normal version but dislike their higher-heat ones (forget the name of it). But yeah that one is a pretty good fight too

>>725129950
>Aphrodite

>>725130446
Yes. He's an invalid

>>725130039
Isn't this a chinese thing? Mending brokeng pottery with golden glue? Pretty whitoid appropiator of them.

>>725128159 (OP)
Better than Midsong unironically

Fucking nigger prometheus won't give me his dialog to advance the epilogue and be done with this fucking game

>>725130881
Japanese art called kintsugi
I assume it's because, as the Father of Time, Chronos tales aspects from all of humanity and not just greeks.
Also the character designer is some brand of chinese so i dont think its very appropriative

>>725130989
New update should have made that dialogue have higher priority to occur

>>725130039
>phase 2 clock on the arena floor is used in his attacks
absolute ludokino

>>725129950
scylla sexo

>>725128159 (OP)
>mostly ugly portraits, the goddess of beauty looks worse than half the female cast, the other half being lardass hestia
>worse weapons
>worse soundtrack, i fucking love hearing music in my right ear only
>worse final boss of the underworld
>excessive grind to the point of making some upgrades obsolete by the time you unlock them or have enough materials to craft them
>weapon varieties are underwhelming
>pets are useless
>some encounters are too overtuned
>very little variation between runs
>most boons are a joke, others become available too late to matter
I dropped it after clearing Olympus a couple of times

>can't be romanced
make it make sense

>>725132229

kino
>it was actually written by Roxy, who you cant speak to or romance
FUCK YOU SUPERGIANT

>I don't care what some chuds on 4chan say about it.

Yeah you do.

>>725128159 (OP)
I just don't have an itch for another Hades game, honestly. After extreme measures Hades with it's bombastic guitar theme im thoroughly satiated. Maybe in 5 or so years i'll play the sequel. Or maybe not, it's not on my shortlist of media necessary for consumption. Nemesis does look like my kind of woman though.

I'll jerk off to Dora but I don't need any more Hades, thanks.

What bothers me the most is Aphrodite. almost every god and npc have unique personalities but hers is just so fucking bland and her design is also very boring. like the devs noticed how gay and feminine the game was so they made her nude to try and shut down this critique.
that's my main issue, not enough characters to balance the gayness. oh I also hate the moon goddess' VA. she's trying too hard and is not a good fit.

>>725132636
You can in fact romance Nemesis, and she has multiple hot springs scenes

>rogueslop
>fun
Those two things are diametrically opposed.
