So I Tried Hades 2.. 

s-tier voice acting. So good in bg3.

nice

Nope, not even close...

@@bumpy86 what do you mean? Am I wrong ?

no you arent, dont know what hes on about ​@@letri5444

I am tracking this and will go thru with it and upload picture or video evidence

Fishing for likes..gay

if this gets 500 likes I'll steal his starforge PC

come now, you gotta know that´s the title for the second video

I think asmon doesn't even manage this channel and it's his editor or something that makes the title

@@Daryl90 No way, really!?

he hasnt come across whirlwind

@ukgyt99 the siren song had no business going in as hard as it did!

"Good riddance" its the songs name

Sameeee lol. I remember the first game I always went out of my way to get to Eurydice just to hear the song again.

@@yaguito49 one of my fav

40:45 have a listen for about 60 seconds. Hades set the standard for OST quality during GAMEPLAY, not just cutscenes.

Cant wait for the greatest tooth keepsake.

Plot twist you play as their daughter. As greek mythology goes it isnt too farfetched.

@@Splendorius no thats fucked up, but yes that makes sense. 😖

⁠@@Splendorius pretty certain that they did not have kids in the mythology

@@monstrosity598 Mel and Zag were in Greek mythology, look them up it's wild lol i thought they were made for the game at first

one of the best video game OSTs ever conceived. chris is a musical genius

Blocking all the juice 😡

God saves from the nonsense

Then proceeds to get nearly the same build again right after lmfao his luck on that last run was insane

It’s literally just 2 boons to break the game, you can get them almost every run if you try

they're gonna need to nerf it a bit 😆

​@@45noop sure there are plenty of those, Zeus blitz+ Apollo solar ring is insane, really good on staff attack blitz

ARPG player can't play other games lmao

It’s pretty sad to watch how other people play certain games and completely miss an entire mechanic.

it's asmond whaddaya expect haha. cast is essential so he will eventually have to learn to use it

@@homelander2243 Mainly when they're being paid millions of dollars to be a "professional gamer." It's why he still hasn't played BG3 - it's just too complex for him.

This is why Asmon loves Vampire Survivors style games so much, at some point you don't even need to play to win. To be fair his mind is mostly occupied with generating content, with only 30-40% of the focus being on the game. But then maybe it's just an excuse, we don't get vogs of him playing games off stream.

Forreal💯

Take your meds

@@ZeallustImmortal they still hate you.

Who?

@@turkkuli3996 you know who.

nice copy paste xdd

It is not rogue like.

​@@Dustmadeoutit's a roguelike by definition wdym

@@Shellackle It is rogue-lite because you have permanent upgrades in the game.

@@Shellackle Check your definition then.

​​@@Shellackleit technically isn't a rogue-like but a rogue-lite. Rogue-likes are games where you can't upgrade your character between runs while in Rogue-lites you can. So giving Mel the ability to upgrade her health, slow time while casting her Omega moves and death defiance, among other things, makes Hades 2 not a rogue-like.

that counts as a job well done? the english va industry is a joke lmao

@uhuuehu7863 so is the video game industry. Its currently fucked atm yet no one wants to believe or accept it. But thats fine. A good game like Hades 2 doesn't count as a job well done either I guess

But this is slower not only because of the dash. Omega moves are obnoxiously slow for a melee build and half of all the boons rely on them, requiring you to disengage before using. Sprinting is also heavily incentivized but attacks cancel it. There are no enemies that punish ranged builds and many that reward it. They could get rid of dash spam without screwing up all the fight mechanics.

@@user-lb5cp5mw4uyou don’t need to disengage to use charge moves when they all slow down time dramatically lol

among that there is also an hermes boon that gives you a 1 hit absorption every time you sprint with no cooldown, some balance changes are clearly needed

@@user-lb5cp5mw4u agreed ranged combat is too safe. Especially when you use cast to slow down enemies, I hope they will balance it somehow, but I am not sure some rougelikes just suffer from ranged combat being too strong.

It's amazing and I love it. The only issue I can think of that bothers me is how similarish all the boons feel. In the 1st game for example for casts basically every single one of them was different depending on which god you picked which made it really fun messing around with different stuff, as for Hades 2 you dont have as much options. Then again the game is in early access and I feel like we can place good faith on Super Giant on making the game even more amazing

Retromation does, but then again he did miss a permanent progression item somehow.

the reason you get eris is so you dont progress too fast if you dont see eris it means you died a lot

imagine giving a f about the backstory, let me just play

@@pffboahkeineahnung what?! Greek mythology is the very reason i even got the first game. Just make sure you play it without ever interacting with any characters you dont have to now.

@@pffboahkeineahnung the characters interacting with each other and referring to what's happening in game is like 50% of the game

It's the "new", now old and overdone, NPC "joke" uninteresting people copy-paste to gain likes.

I figured they're bots 😂

It's not far off, there's a ton of content already

Be patient and just wait a few weeks or so. As the other person said, it's not far off.

Hm, really? I would've thought it'd be many months out. I'll have to check where to watch for updates

@@PherPhur the full game only releases next year tho

1.0 is at the end of this year

It has more content in this Early acess than most AAA games.

Triple iii?

@@ericv738 "i" for Indie

@@ericv738 i = indie

I mean. He's meant to sound like a fangasming nerd excited to see you. So it fits.

asmo fucking what?

@@RigRacers amazing and asmongold mix together i think

It’s a lot more methodical that’s for sure. Chronos also definitely hits like a truck compared to Hades.

It's harder, but there's more grinding for progression and just more progression in general.

I cant beat chronos, best ive done is 40% phase 2 :(

I didn't play early access Hades 1 so I can't really compare. Maybe it will be easier on final release.

Its because there is way more progression. Also prob forget how much hades fucked everyone in the beginning.

Yes

if you care about the story yes if not it doesn't matter

hades 1 is on sale tho you could just get both

Hades 1 is also fantastic game on its own.

Hades 1 is a masterpiece

ikr like did people forget that the first game also had the exact same "woke" things such as black or queer characters, but no one complained

@@kostasspirou1010 If those two things trigger people they have deeper mental issues than a video game xD

@@DerpyDerp254 they love to complain without even playing the games, they're missing out

@@kostasspirou1010 Agreed

I thought I was losing my mind seeing all this “woke” BS but glad to see level headed gamers in the comments

Cope

Soot actually weird caring about dark skin

gotta tick those dei boxes, source material be damned

Woke washed, shameful to appropriate Greek culture.

​@@jira6423Is it weird to take culture while complaining about the same thing incessantly, to the point of making it your identity?

After playing Hades for 100+ hours, tried this one and refunded ... The main character was just bland. Too perfect, too pure, to honest. Not even close to Zagreus, who was this rebellious child wanting to see his mother once more. In this you're just superman physically and mentally. The combat is an outright downgrade, Hades was faster gameplay, while that ended up being an addictive run when you unlock harder map. Now the other thing I really hated here was how there is a lot of progression currency to get. Sounds good, but all it does it take space for room rewards. Instead of feeling the build by getting power ups every few rooms, now you get 1 power up in like 4 rooms. Some enemies just demand you to use the spell that stuns, literally limiting your way to play. The constant yelling of the main character after every attack becomes a noise. Now of course it is divisive politically, but I didn't mind that in Hades 1 when the gameplay was so fun. Here I felt like the starter weapon was just not fun. The character I controlled was not interesting, the music wasn't new/just a lamer remixes of original ones, the story is nowhere near as compelling as in Hades 1. Compare the story of kid going through hell just to see his mom for few seconds, doing so again and again and again. Compare that to this, a strong sister going to kill a god to save Hades and Zegreus who somehow got caught. Where is the cool story in that, a hero with no struggle saves the day and proves to everyone how strong she is. Boring. Then the main hub, it felt so vibrant in Hades 1, every time I died and swam from that blood river all tired, went next to my father Hades who was so focused on his work and just told me few remarks, while Orpheus sang in the background all depressed. Even the death animation was really brutal and cool. Here you don't even get that brutal death animation, and you don't come out from blood river, you just reanimate. I haven't found a single aspect that was anywhere near as good as it was in Hades 1. I don't think this is a bad game, not at all. But, it doesn't do itself any favors by naming itself Hades 2. In the end, it's a decent rogue lite. While Hades 1 is a masterpiece. Not going to lie, after I refund it, I reinstalled Hades 1 to replay it from the start. Hades 1 is so good, if you want to play something similar, just to play the same game twice. It is still as good, and replay ability is insane. After reading the good reviews, I felt disappointed. I know Hades 1 is a high standard to follow, but this wasn't even good, it was just okay at best.

gets way better over time and it's still in early access

​@@IgorJCorreafake news

@@MrTeamGuy”to perfect to pure” so did you just ignore 90 percent of dialogue?

@@jackbower9087real news

I think this style is close to ancient greek music, there are some recreations of it on youtube by some academics wich I saw sometime I think. But regardless of that, I find realy strange how much black characters there are in a game that's suposed to represent greek mithology, does it even make sense with Hades 1 lore?

​​@@feliox3307I think its not meant to represent greek mythology accurately... Its just heavily influenced by it. And the music is written by darren korb i believe with vocals from ashley barret. They work on supergiant games since forever and you can hear musical elements from the older games in hades 2 as well (From the game Transistor for example or Bastion).

It also destroyed the Greek mythology by making it a Netflix woke adaptation

@@jackbower9087 Holy shit it destroyed Greek mythology? Like it doesn't exist any more? God damn, such power no game studio should possess.

@@feliox3307 black characters exist in the first game as well

People doesn’t seem to understand the difference between a mage and a warrior. They expected mel a witch to fight like a warrior like zagreus did.

Amazing game. It’s been great since early access but now the 1.0 launch is phenomenal

he played it

It's boring and too monotonous

I like it but damn it feels like once you play through it once, theres really nothing to do. PvP is slow and even living center map with every plot around us taken, we never see anyone. The whole 80% of servers only allowing raids on weekends or certain hours is dumb af. & the entire set of bosses are just dumb. its essentially just a PvE game, and the PvE is so mid theres not really any reason to keep grinding. You realize that really quickly on, and Asmon wouldnt like it after the 2nd or 3rd dumb boss.

Lol nice

Gotta dance for those ESG bucks. It's like a clown dancing for spare change on the street. I actually feel sorry for the small company having to beg like this.

Cope and seethe lmao There’s Zagreus is literally bisexual in the first game

@@sticksandstones1173??? So you didn’t play hades 1?

I think he was asking why the game developers chose to write that he had a sister and make her the MC for the game. They could’ve written the story in a lot of different ways to situate her as the MC but why not Zagreus again is Asmon’s question. And I sympathize with Asmon’s opinion. Zagreus was cool 😂 and fans of the game would probably already look forward to playing the sequel just because they were familiar with playing as Zag from the first game.

why would you google things just so to spoil things for yourself?

@@georgejerry1545 Here's a logic test for you: Why would Chronos not trap Zagreus? We literally beat Hades himself consecutively to beat the game. He would trap a God that owns the underworld but not his son who's stronger?

@@vid9170 why is skelly or charon not trapped

@@zirkereuler5242 Cuz they don't rule the underworld?

It’s a good design also her being a old granny works in what god she’s actually meant to be

@@domL2507why would a god have an autoimmune disorder?

Seriously bro xD

The VIRGIN goddess? Her appearance is supposed to be a young women. ​@domL2507

@@domL2507 it is based on greek mythology where there is a simple and accurate description of her. granny isnt one of them. last time i checked this game is heavily relying on its myth and defintely not just based on them it is them.

Are peak

Why is there something behind him?

Cause they want to see the characters bodies and asmon is blocking the “goods” as they say

it pretty much is just some minor changes

Seeing Asmon only go for m2 spam I can see why you think that. The mechanics with Selene, omega moves, and casting add whole new dimensions to the gameplay, but otherwise yes this is a sequel to a massively successful roguelite, there's not really much they needed to entirely overhaul. New weapons are unique enough from the original and the storytelling is just like what hooked players before

the more you play the more content you unlock, don't know why people are forgotting you still see new stuff after 20 hours in hades....

@@MrTeamGuy so you barely played 2 and came to baseless conclusions. You don't personally like it so it's not good sums up your summary.

Why care, he is a God, noone saw him lol

finish? chronos gonna 2 shots him lol

I think it makes sense though considering their uprisings, but at least we have the ghost girl

well she is bland, I would say uninteresting and too perfect. Also, the story is not even close to the first one. Child wanting to see his mom one more time even for just few seconds, to the point he went through hell again and again and again. In this, strong sister will fight and beat final boss to save her father and brother who somehow got caught. Doesn't draw any emotion from me. I felt the weight of Zagreus failing, how he comes out of blood river all tired, goes through his working father who throws him few remarks and gets back to work while Orpheus sings all depressed in the background. Not to mention the brutal death animation, that is not present in this one for some reason. The hub itself felt vibrant and full of story.

Brain dead take

the game acknowledges this, chaos literally says zag was more interesting lol

@@joemama-mu1dd daaamn they're firing shots on themselves? I haven't played for that many hours. But I'm guessing I've met most of the major cast. I decided to go back to the first Hades game a bit and see what I missed (not 100% completed)

Cause there's where Africans in Greece and they were represented in the pantheon. Got to take that up with the ancient greeks. Then again it's not a documentary and as most mythology was orally shared, their depiction varied from one part of their occupied land to the other. For example if the story of Zeus is shared in one of the territory in north Africa he won't look the same as it would in Italy.

😂 particularly when they have British accents so it’s both ancient euro mythology & euro voice acting. But it’s a cartoon so who really cares

both Hades games aren't fully accurate to the mythology

@@palamedes4740 that's all made up and the population of northern africa was not dark skinned at that time.

Yeah, the Gameplay looks fine but the vibes are way off.

Classic case of needing to be inserted into everyone's else history and mythology due to lacking your own. Game could have been good, stick to the sources

Hades will always be better

@@nickf2657 there are black and gay characters in hades 1 too lol. you are npcs
