Ok how the hell did 44% of people who own hades even play the game, let alone beat thanatos by 15 kills?!



There has to be something broken with these achievements, 27% of people have caught a fish in each region, which means over a quarter of people who bought this incredibly hard game have beaten hades enough times they happened to have a fish spawn in greece. Are these numbers elevated somehow? Am I just awful at video games?

you're bad at the game but also randomness has alot to do with it. thanatos can spawn in rooms with lots of smaller enemies and you just blast them all pretty much as soon as they spawn before he can get to them.

beating Thanatos is not that hard because all his attacks are really slow, you can consistently steal his kills with a decent build

I think I have less than 20 ascensions in Hades and I've gotten two fish in Greece. I think you might just be unlucky?

EDIT: Also, the thanos thing is surprisingly easy sometimes... especially if you spawn Thanatos in Asphodel

they added more biomes in one of the big updates and some of the content they've added has a much wider level of variety such as the derelict freighters and the settlements from the latest update. i do get your point though and i have noticed it a fair bit in the game.
yeah, it's just a shame the biomes aren't proc-genned. Texture synthesis and even flora synthesis is extremely cheap and its a shame they didn't spend some of that loading time generating/caching a 'palette' of proc genned assets for a system when you enter it. The terrain gen is also disappointingly tame.

long story short, I have now broadened my net to include the 3080ti lol :retrogames:

I don’t know really anything about subnautica, but no mans sky can essentially be played forever. you need to follow the main quest for a bit until you can warp between solar systems, but after that you can gently caress off into space forever if you want. there is a end game to it if you follow the main quest but I’d argue the majority of people don’t.

a bit like elite dangerous in that way

my understanding of subnautica is that it has a definite end and the main story is the main point?

i've been trying to play subnautica.

honestly i think botw has spoiled me for story/open world exploration balance, i really hope the next one is somewhere near as good

They added this to every FF remaster and it owns. I think my total playtime for FF7 and FF9 was a couple of hours because I could just fast forward through all the random encounters and zip across the map.
