How are you guys enjoying the new update?
Hades Thread
Is there any point in buying it early access? Will it cost more when its finished?
>watching my friend play this
>mfw he's terrible but I keep telling him he's doing great because his feelings are as fragile as faberge eggs
Shill me on it, the piratefag version I have was just a bit before the Demeter stuff
It seems to have destroyed my progress actually. I've beaten it. Gotten all the trinkets save for the supposed useless one. Guan Yu and all the aspects for the weapons were unlocked. Even had some extra titan's blood stored for the occasion for the new one. Now I'm reverted back to an earlier point for some reason?
Otherwise I like the new weapon. Mommy Nyx is fun.
What did it add? I see two new things which seem really interesting in this picture alone honestly.
A new weapon
More Lore
an updated image of nyx and charon
a new boss
>a new boss
Im fucking cuming right as we speak. How do you get to it?
>artemis romance never ever
Fists are pretty strong with support fire and crits.
tfw no dusa
>No artemis romance
Dusa fucking rejects you
>There is unique dialogue if you die on the first chamber and Hypnos is shocked at how quickly you came back
>If you summon dusa during Meg's fight she will comment on it
>Same if you summon meg or dusa during a thanatos chamber
>Aphrodite has unique lines when you reach max rank with Meg/Than/Dusa
>If you bring the Artemis trinket that makes her your next Boon but somehow meet Hermes first he will remark that his sister is waiting to meet you up ahead
>After beating the Hydra many, many times Zagreus will re-name it Lernie
The devs thought up lines for so many situations
I wonder will Zagreus actually get out of Hades? or will he learn that the underworld isnt so bad and discover that the true freedom is the friends done along the way.
Is Hades gonna go the way of GOW? Will he kill the gods of olympus in the future?
seems like theres gonna be something with the friend stuff because of that whole bond forged screen that appears when you finish certain character's "routes"
i would like some kinda alternate ending to whatever they have planned that you can only obtain if you save enough of those rerolls during a run and reach the end
>or will he learn that the underworld isnt so bad and discover that the true freedom is the friends done along the way.
This.
My bet is that Persephone rejects him or something and he decides to come back and appreciate his underworld life.
Alternatively he meets Persephone but ends up missing his underworld friends so he occasionally kills himself to go back and basically spends some time in the underworld and some time with Persephone.
Tying into that there needs to be some reason for Zagreus to continue doing runs after the ending.
they made nyx way to hot isnt she supposed to be my mother?i just wanna fuck her now
I don't think Supergiant's artist is capable of making an non-attractive character.
They are greek gods, that isnt so impossible a possibility, to follow on the footsteps of uncle Zeus.
Well... you are in greek mythology.
She's your step-mom.
You know what to do.
Nah. I love them but not many of their characters are that fuck-worthy. Like in their past games, its maybe only Red and Jodariel.
Persephone is clearly up to some bullshitseeing as how Hades is hiding the truth about Zag and even her mother doesn't know she's on the surface
Inb4 she's fucking some random guy in the middle of nowhere
>new weapon gets a devil bringer
I've never had so much fun with this game
you guys are sick
>Bertrude
>not fuck-worthy
But really, it was just a compliment on how good she is. Her art is one of the biggest selling points in Supergiant Games, then they hook you with an amazing OST and story, while the gameplay ends up being somewhat experimental.
You can already slap Meg's thick blue cheeks and she's like your quasi-sister
When in Rome...
>Decide to pick it back up for the update
>Last save was midgame at Heat Level 14
Woolie was just so excited to show the game off. It was kind of endearing.
Got old after a while though.
>new MAJOR UPDATE out now!
>still in early access
Wow. Wake me up again when it's actually complete.
>Watching
>Other
>People
>Play
>Videogames
pretty cringe not gonna lie
Anyone know when the full release will happen? i've been waiting till then.
Later this year. I'd assume probably somewhere in between June and September, maybe November.
Will it cost more or less in steam?
The only sizable thing the game is missing is the ending.
Which is solely dialogue and a cutscene.
All the weapons are in, all the characters and gods are in.
it is practically finished.
Alright, more time to work on my backlog then.
we still dont have Hera and Apollo
The devs have said they have no plans to add anymore gods.
Of course they never planned to add Demeter and they didnt plan the addition of many other things they have added. But still I think it is highly unlikely there'll be another good. Not enough mechanical space for it.
I don't really think Persephone is going to be a twist dick mostly because Nyx herself says she was a pretty good woman. That and she's on the surface but even Demeter thinks she's gone. If she got out of hell on her own free will I doubt she wouldn't tell her mom. If anything its some dastardly plan to stir shit up. If I where to guess I'd say the titan chronos persuaded Ares to nab her on the prospect that it would cause a war in some way or another. Causing Demeter to get mad and freeze everything, making people think time actually stopped and start worshiping chronos. Giving him enough power to resurrect and be the true final boss.
I think there might be a final sequence with Hades bailing Zagreus out of a tight spot for an ending. It seems anti climactic to just do "oh pretend he died and go back to the start" over and over again without some resolution. It would make thematic sense especially when one of the first character you meet on your journey is Sisyphus.
I made the mistake of playing this on week one of early access. It's actually pretty good, but I am so burnt out on it. I have zero interest in coming back to it.
Heed my warning, don't touch it til it's done.
>Catch 50 fishes
>Poseidon forcibly offers his boon
>There's only one choice: get more fishes
>End-of-run summary: Fisher-king
thanks supergiant
Ever had a foursome?
Enlighten me on some DEEPEST LORE
In the new admin room in the House you can see all previous run summaries. If you lost to Hades it says you were slain by [redacted] just as Hypnos says.
Yet all Zagreus weapon aspects are always [redacted] (but not others).
thoughts on the new boon design?
How do I make Aspect of Poseidon useful? Am I just a brainlet?
I'm betting the twist is she's still in the underworld in one of the sealed off area. Zagreus is most likely a stillbirth, and Persephone had simply given up her power and perma-died to save Zagreus. Hades lied to everyone so Z doesn't learn the truth and blame himself for her death. He probably sealed her in some sort of crystal to preserve her body and I'm betting Z will finally figure out that he has control over blood/life and resurrects her.
>How are you guys enjoying the enw update.
It's very cash money, man.
A few observations:
The new weapon is 100% going to get a nerf. I could fight Hades without barely moving becaue I phased him so astronomically fast while playing the base Zagreus aspect. (ATT SP. / DODGE %) Not even some insane combination, just Zeus AA and the legendary Zeus boon.
The new sword aspect is actually fun as fuck, I pretty much only played Poseidon aspect for sword before, the new Arthur one is tight. I don't think it's overtuned.
I could bust one to the new Nyx art.
One day, brother.
Dunno, it seems not to mesh with Hades asking you to tell her that Cerberus is doing well. But maybe you're onto something.
Well show Nyx, you fagotronics
the sword one? go for a cast build, fire on a target and hit them with your sword to get your casts back if they're still alive
rinse and repeat
user your brain must be particularly smooth. Here's how to win a run with Poseidon Aspect:
>Equip it.
>Find a good cast. (Artemis e.g)
>Force cast friendly boons (Dual Shot, Fully Loaded, shit like that)
>Try to fish for Chaos damage % on cast/more casts to throw out.
It's easier than ever with the boon rerolls now user. Play it safe and keep your distance.
>First girl I started spamming Honey on in hopes of romance
I was disappointed.
Tried to take a screencap of the new page, but it just shows Zag standing still for some reason. She's in the new store picture anyways, just look there.
Did you even look at the thread image? Nyx is literally in the background.
It’s unironically not fair gay pseudo incest is available but you can fug the Dusa or Artemis
MOMMY
Why did they make her hot? She was so nice and motherly, and now I can't stop thinking about making her into a mother again.
>Start new run
>Forgot to remove Skelly's tooth again
speaking of games by these devs, how's Pyre? any good?
Huh, but I imagined her rather meek and passive, standing in her empty corner.
This one need a throne alongside the Hades.
Artemis is the goddess of chastity and virginity, you're never getting in there.
She can just use Zag's face.
She can leave that title to Athena.
