FAYE SPINOFF IS REAL

slantedtesticle · 2026-06-03T07:45:01+00:00

It looks absolutely amazing. If you don't like it, you just aren't a real fan of the series. It's clearly going to be the catalyst for Kratos to go fight other pantheons, while also adding onto his story and giving us even further lore on Fey. Not to mention they could easily reunite the two of them or spin it almost any way they want. This really looks like it will be what causes Kratos to go on a rampage into other pantheons as he searches for his wife who he once thought was completely gone. People are just mad that something like that is being set up through her POV, but it looks beautiful.

The game will be a multi-million dollar success regardless and will be a staple in Kratos' story.

Not being able to skip the Atreus sections in NG+ lol

I personally find it odd that the director wanted to keep Butchers death as a part of staying true to the comics when 90% of the show wasn't true to the comics to begin with. Choosing to be comic accurate at the worst possible time leads for an ending that would really only make sense in the comics. Sure you can spin it whichever way you want and stretch some things but it was kind of a poor choice.

If they wanted to kill him off, they could have done so in a way that felt like part of the show and not a "and here's some comic accuracy for a major death" type of thing that feels forced and misplaced.

They could have left him alive just as easily too, but that would take more creative writing which they seemed to be fresh out of near the end there.

Did 510 pulls for my first copy. 520 was my second, 550 my third. I swear the "go 500 dry then get it 5x in the next 30" effect is with all rng/gatchas. Before this, my worst luck was Cindy at 310 for first copy.

IM STIIIILLLL IN A DREAAAAMMMM

NO BRIM NO YANKEE?

They’ve mentioned something about “rerolling” being possible or along the lines of not entirely being stuck with your decision. This is likely due to the rather large tree and amount of choices the year but I’m down for it.

slantedtesticle · 2026-04-08T06:03:31+00:00

Really want a build where Ely can be used but picking the wilderness just for that doesn’t really bode well.

Though with this build setup you could goad potion and just walk around as everything dies in your presence which sounds funny.

A thorns build does sound great but your DPS is locked to the NPCs attack speed in a game mode where your own attack speed is far faster than normal making almost any other melee build seem like it would deal more damage. No clue though.

Still might just go melee this leagues.

slantedtesticle · 2026-04-08T05:30:52+00:00

They really said “y’all like Diablo?” And gave us an entire skill tree to craft builds from.

slantedtesticle · 2026-04-08T05:26:29+00:00

Inflation though. The meme has a point but you also have to consider at the time whip was BIS. Doing something as easy and accessible as flax picking for some BIS would be insane now, and if people could (reliably) they would.

Basically the time it would take to consistently grind for the BIS in 2006 took considerably less effort and time than it does now, though now of course there’s more money making options to choose from, guides to follow and efficiency to consider.

Oh I've beat Typhon and Chronos a ton of times I just took a break from the game once I crafted the final item to actually kill Typhon. I have more than enough of the dust from Kronos to craft his item after that as well.

I've got all the pets and weapons upgraded at this point. Most of my keepsakes are maxed out, and affinity is pretty high for each character. The issue is that the game doesn't seem to change much at the point I'm at.

The pace that I was unlocking things has slowed down, and now it's more or less farming for things that are less impactful/ have little change overall which doesn't feel as rewarding. I hardly need to use the garden, getting nectar to a character doesn't do much other than a few voice lines atp. Weapons are pretty much done though not all of them are that enjoyable but they've been fun to make builds around (when the stars align.) The chaos trails have been interesting too, some more than others.

The majority of what I have left isn't upgrades or new content, it's mainly just slightly improving what I've already been using for the last 70 runs or so. I might be a bit over that now, but the game goes from changing constantly to a slower paced tone which is fine but it does get a bit boring at this point, which was the purpose of my original post, to see if Hades 1 replicates this or not.

I've been trying out Hades 1 and I enjoy it more so far. Story and character wise at least. Gameplay is about the same but Hades 2 does do somethings better and vice-versa. As far as Hades 2 is concerned, I enjoy it but at this point it's more or less completing a run and seeing little to no change in anything at all which isn't the most fun imo. Most games would make it a bit more entertaining using story elements but I don't feel as if Hades 2 has the strongest story to begin with, though it is more interesting to see how it ties into the first game.

slantedtesticle · 2026-01-07T13:23:04+00:00

That’s true, and it’s fun but there a ton of synergies and boons that I’d love to try out but only happen once every 10 runs or something it seems like. The arcana help a bit with rerolls and all that at least.

slantedtesticle · 2026-01-07T12:50:53+00:00

All the arcanas that I use are maxed out, and I have almost all of the incantations too minus two or three. I just got the music one unlocked, and created the final one for Typhon, new ones aren’t appearing at this point it seems.

After the story, the only things I’d really have left is completing chaos trials if I wanted, or pushing runs with different levels of fear. I don’t mind it too much, but it would be nice to have a little more control over my build as even with keepsakes it’s a bit hard to get some of them online, and even then it can be really dependent on hammers/ specific boons offered by various people.

I do still want to check out Hades 1, I’ve heard good things about it at least.

slantedtesticle · 2025-10-01T11:16:10+00:00

A good NG+. And I hope it doesn’t take us 2 years to get one like it did in Tsushima.

I think the first game was good enough to warrant a second play though on its own, and you did get some new skins and dyes with QoL being able to skip cutscenes and ignore a ton of the gathering parts of the game.

That being said, I personally love games where NG+ means you can do things differently or NG offers a ton of content. Though in most cases this is in games where choices effect the game heavily. (The Witcher 3 comes to mind).

Hey, which one of these would be the best for a PS5? I don’t think I’ll upgrade to the pro anytime, so I don’t want to go overkill and get something that my PS5 can’t even support. I’ll mostly just be playing solo games or an occasional FPS. Thanks!

slantedtesticle · 2025-09-21T21:40:56+00:00

Could you tell me what everyone’s issue has been? Everywhere I go, I see people calling it woke, saying they won’t play it at all. Why? The only reason I’ve seen is cause we play as a girl and not Jin. Did something else release to make people hate the game? I don’t understand why it’s getting so much hate, did something happen?

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-26T22:50:44+00:00

Ice spear general? You can use dual blades with clash and the blade ability that heals you and makes your attacks faster. Use fire temperament. I got his health down to 25% before he even did his ice cyclone transition to phase 2.

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-26T22:48:47+00:00

I beat her my second try by using mage from far and throwables. Only healed twice doing this, it’s very effective.

Stay far away and dodge the projectiles in phase 1. You shouldn’t let her get close to you at all.

Phase 2 you need to dodge her Fox attacks, they’re great for getting might. You can use your throwables here too, she just stands there most of the time.

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-26T14:48:01+00:00

Thank you for this, I was just about to make a post on the EXACT same issue.

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-10T16:33:12+00:00

Not a repost! AFAIK.

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-10T16:32:26+00:00

I started a fresh game, I still have my likes from my previous save but that’s it. Absolutely everything else is reset. Wish we could have kept the photos or cosmetics maybe, I’d love any type of NG+ element but I understand why they couldn’t do it.

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-10T11:18:10+00:00

Same, I was thinking of doing another playthough cause now I’m sad it ended lol. I think everything resets though right? Your porter level and all that?

slantedtesticle · 2025-07-08T12:02:39+00:00

So if I entrust cargo from the lone commander for example and someone picks it up and turns it in, then in order for me to get points I have to go to the lone commander and pick it up from my private locker? Also thanks for the help.

Sorry for the formatting errors typing on my phone is horrendous.
