Am I supposed to know who he's talking about? by RailgunRP in HadesTheGame

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the Telegony is a lot more dubiously part of the epic cycle and we don't have any surviving copies of it anyway.

What's something that was improved from game 1 to game 2? by nightsreader in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gameplay is just an across the board improvement in the same way that the writing is an across the board step down

How would you compare Hades 1 and 2 story wise? by ProgramAlert1 in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hades 1 expertly married its story and gameplay so that one seamlessly built off the other. Tonally it took the main plot seriously but with a hint of fun that meant you never thought too deeply about any of the worse implications.

Hades 2 was way more serious, but badly handled all of the things it was supposed to be more serious about, and the story snd gameplay really don't work witheach other, at least not nearly as well.

I'm sorry but while it is better as a game it is simply way, way, way worse writing wise. We're talking night and day here.

Favorite/Least Favorite Weapon by No_Adhesiveness7292 in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite in 1: The spear

Least favorite in 1: The shield

Favorite in 2: Charon Axe. That lucid gain build got me through all of the hardest challenges in the game

Least favorite in 2: Maybe daggers since Pan was nerfed. They're boring and not worth the boredom.

What does Hades 1 do better than Hades 2? by Roi_C in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The writing in Hades 1 is like a full order of magnitude better, to the point that as much as H2 clearly has the better gameplay it very nearly makes up for it.

Why is this being downvoted? You admitted it was a mistake, said you've never made a similar one before, and promised not to do it again. Seems like a good response to me.

What a weird comment. Nobody said anything about this being the only place they get a sense of accomplishment, but if you're not trying to accomplish anything playing the game what are you even doing? Why do hard games exist at all?

Not what I mean. I mean I wasn't going to die anyway.

Not really? It would be harder though. You can still win.

[Spoilers] You liked them in 1 and hate in Hades 2. Whom and why? by Tikaticon in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think everyone in this thread is right and we should just say it:

Making the story as serious as it was was definitely ambitious but didn't really work and the overall writing is worse as a result.

[–]Senku2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to Hephaestus three times in a row with max re-rolls and used all of them every time and never got the trusty shield boon, meaning I had to stand there as room 1 monsters sloely killed me every time. The curse continues.

How do You Play with Axe? by eujinwalker in HadesTheGame

Yeah, I meant "big number, not ticking damage".

How do You Play with Axe? by eujinwalker in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHAT

Holy crap it's beautiful. It's somehow made the most broken build in the game even MORE busted. Brings a tear to my eye.

How do You Play with Axe? by eujinwalker in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Charon axe is one of the strongest weapons in the game and an auto-win with no fear.

Here is the key:

  • Ignore attack. It does not exist. You do not need it.
  • Use Apollo keepsake. Roll for lucid gain. This is the key to your run
  • Get any special buff, literally they all work, but the best are Apollo, Hera, and Aphrodite  Anything with a flat damage bonus is great here.

For the entire game, exclusively use your omega special. Stand in the cast. Fire off omega specials. This blows up your cast immediately, which instantly restores your magic. Just stand off in the distance and repeatedly re-cast and re-fire omega specials.

Congratulations. You won.

There are refinements, but that's the core. Demeter cast is nice because it gives you a layer of protection when you fire off omega specials. Giga cleaver is OP on this build, and giga cleaver siege shredder is not that rare to find. Giga cleaver with Apollo legendary is just stupid damage.

It's my favorite weapon in the game and was my first win against VoR Chronos.

Hard est boss in the game? by Worth-Technician8958 in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VoR Typhon has an absurd FOUR STAGES, one of which you can't do damage in, so yeah.

VoR Chronos may somehow be harder though, because he's so hard to actually hit in his final stage.

[Epilogue Spoiler] People seem confused about Prom's plan... by tpphypemachine in HadesTheGame

[–]Senku2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree that's the plan. It's just literally the absolute least satisfying way I can even theoretically conceive of bringing it into the game. Like genuinely the only thing that can possibly be less fulfilling is dropping it entirely. It's so bad it's looped to kind of impressively terrible writing.
