#hades — Public Fediverse posts

Video game music, orchestral performances, and the sheer joy of a communal experience: how live concerts are helping us reconnect with gaming's good side

is Hades 2 worth playing if you haven't played the first game? I got it as part of the Hugo Award voter packet but not sure how much it relies on you knowing the first game's story

The Lowest Bid

The Lowest Bid by Stewart Stafford

The sceptre is cast to the shivering sea
with divine ordinance, codes of chivalry.
A blinding vision of the fallen from on high,
New roving dregs with a scavenger’s eye.

Yield up the light, coax out the dying flame,
Punishment for crimes revokes your name.
Was freedom built on ancient delusion?
It persists as the architect’s cold conclusion.

The most degrading and painful descent
is the one to the lower “kingdom” crescent,
Shadow throne invoked by seditious implication.
Collusion not coercion, mummified by mediation.

Trust not the expedient offer, the beatific start —
They can only embalm the chasms of the heart.

Without knowing anything about the game, wanna guess which of these two is the playable character in #Hades2 and which one is just an NPC?

Fucking sigh...
Just give me the big strong gal for once. Let me play the big bitch. Please.

This one feels worse cause early dialogue has Melinoe complaining that they should have sent Nemesis instead.

#Hades

And the last thing to share today- a character & style study of Melinoe from #hades2, done last June!

I Remembered a conversation last year about eventually trying #Hades2 after sinking HELLA hours into #Hades 1 and completing the game on Heat 16 or 17.

After clearing H2 for the first time today i don't see myself spending much time w/ it.

It feels different, not better than H1: Omega attacks are welcome but the boons and weapons feel less cool/fun (with the exception of the greataxe. The greataxe is so fun it makes the other weapons feel disappointing). The mirror vs arcana is another example of "different" not better. The witchy vibe doesn't do anything for me. The casting circle makes sense, I just don't enjoy it as much.

I'm never pressed about the story of a Supergiant game, but I don't like the supporting cast of this game as much as H1. Nothing's clicking.

I recognize the allure of this and H1 is understanding the system well enough that you can clear the game with any weapon and arcana and form a workable build as you go. So far I don't enjoy enough of what the game offers to master it. In fighting game terms, I don't wanna play much of the roster, and this is a game that expects you to eventually do that.

Supergiant makes tight isometric action games with interlocking systems and dynamics and high levels of player expression. Mechanically, I love their games. The feel like the closest to that thrill and allure of a good soulslike, but in 2D.

Some people love the music or atmosphere in their games too. I'm not one of them. But I can understand why they've never made a sequel till now.

#hades is such a great game. currently 6 € for the switch. #hades2 will be next

Ok, I'm using 5 songs from the Hades games for this week's #ThursdayFiveList theme of #Mythology. Darren Korb's a dang musical genius.

Song of the Sirens https://song.link/y/P4S7EaXozXw

Lament of Orpheus https://song.link/y/Oll7pr4JVTQ

Good Riddance (Eurydice Solo) https://song.link/y/aTg6y2l4duk

Fated Glory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLlWRIrSfbU

Last: An instrumental with the most insane drumming I've ever heard.

Individual Diablo, Hades and Persona orchestral musical concerts are coming to London, and if last year's Baldur's Gate 3 concert was anything to go by, you won't want to miss them

Hades 2 spoilers be like:

(I need context)

I don't think #Hades2 is going to be a GOTY, but is going to be a contender. It's basically the same game but with a lot more content and refinements, and an slightly above average ending.

Anyway, great game to recommend for anyone. It's that good.
