it's that many clears to get to the credits, but there's a lot more post-credits. that's kind of just an "end of act I" thing.

the bow is one of my favorites. it must just be play style or something, i just sit back and plink away at enemies from far away and it works pretty well. you can easily keep everything at arms length and dodge away from the bad stuff. alternatively the special can be emphasized by going very close range and trying to get every shot in the enemy you want dead.

Wait until you unlock The Gun because I've had the most fun with the modifications you can get along the way for that weapon.
Hades is good but it took me a bit of time for it to all click.

hades is great but the main conflict/mystery is stupid and contrived and the characterization is all shallow.

mum left because zag died at childbirth but he was actually resurrected and nobody told her for some reason. now she won't come back because she doesn't want to see her family. the solution is to see her family at a dinner party.

why do humans need to fear hell anyway?


i think the fan response to the characters is just because the art is so good. i realize i am in the minority on this.

the plot makes sense because it’s the greek gods and they were famously insanely dumb and horny - that’s why people like them so much it’s like real people

was going to say, i haven't played it, but the description sure sounds like a greek drama sort of thing. a bunch of human drama that makes sense only in isolation, a broader framework with no logic whatsoever, and things magical closure at the end.

I'm gonna do my next Fallout 4 run as Leda and try to romance Swan.

e: Remember if you named your character Buffy and had certain clothes on in Fallout or Fallout 2 (gosh it's been a long time) there was special dialogue? Maybe they did that with the name Leda in Fallout 4!!! (They didn't.)

i love greek mythology and hades is pretty accurate but it doesn't mean the characters aren't shallow and the conflict isn't contrived. realism doesn't mean you get a satisfying narrative.

it's still miles better than your average roguelike though

i've been playing metro exodus, and there's a part where your wife is sad, and she lays her head down in your lap to complain, and there's like a "press F to console" function where you can rub her arm and she looks up at you endearingly. i think a lot of gamers lead very sad lives

yeah that part was pretty cheesy

at least they made it so to get the good ending you don’t have to listen to every little thing everyone says and do stuff like that anymore

i always drink all the whiskey and smoke with comrades (blyat) between missions and drink what i imagine is whiskey from a canteen before fastforwarding to night or day. that’s part of the experience

It's been 40 000 years since I played it but I remember the controls being not great, and also the whole aesthetique isn't something that appeals to me at all. But people seem to love games with absolutely dogshit controls, like Whatever Souls, so vOv
