Honestly I don't think Lightning being used to promote real world brands is that weird in a world where we already had shit like Marge Simpson in Playboy

Likewise neither is Ariana Grande being canon to Final Fantasy since she's also canon to Fortnite

If anything, Squeenix is ahead of the curve with this kind of promotional stuff

The extraneous FFX deep lore probably takes it, idk

I had seen some complaints about it, namely that it has less or delayed iframes or something like that (separate from the new cooldown), but I'm gonna be real; I'm not good enough at the game to notice that level of detail.

Oh there was a patch released today, neat. I'll have to go back and clean up topside

You now can gather from any resource point once you have unlocked the corresponding Gathering Tool; you now can Prioritize any available Tool in the Training Grounds to make its resources appear as often as before, while resources for Tools you do not Prioritize will appear far less often

thank FUCK

Also it looks like they nerfed the Eris gating in some way

oh and nudged the dash closer to Hades 1 levels apparently

Aside from the obvious "Game of Thrones spinoff" energy the immediate vibe I get is that this is made to put all the lore infodumping that Villeneuve (rightfully!) declined to bother explaining in the movies.

I could maybe buy BE Guinafen in single target but the entire reason she isn't trash is that she has AoE! At two enemies she's outdamaging Luka even with lower attack scaling. Luka meanwhile can afford to build BE instead because he prefers to focus one target and Phys Break gets around the scaling limitation from his normal ATK dot.

Fire MC uses it well but also...why use Fire MC? It's really only worth running on Gepard or Aventurine if you are using specifically Kafka, Acheron, or Ratio, if none of that applies then just ignore it

I don't know, citation needed on that. Maybe for people who closely follow the indie scene but...

the two niche communities at play here are "indie video game enthusiasts" and "videogamedunkey enjoyers"

I assure you this is a battle of the nobodies and the only thing I'm getting at is the former group was attuned to this game before the latter

...that's just a rephrase of what i'm saying.
it's a good game, is reviewing well, but if you're seeing an excessive amount of people praising an 8/10 game and calling it a 10/10 one, you gotta look at the fanbase and realize oh, there's a built in base here and they're going to give additional points to it because of where it's coming from. if the game was bad it'd get dunked on pretty hard too but instead it's a nice indie success story on all fronts, from the one man team to the file size to the publisher. the question was why is it getting extreme praise and all the "10/10!" when it's not and, well, that's the obvious answer.

No, what I'm saying is that the game had tons of word of mouth, acclaim, and hype even before Dunkey made a video promoting it and his fanbase latched on to it. Hope this helps

the praise is coming because of who the publisher is.
big mode is dunkey's project of going from youtuber to gaming publisher and this is their first game released. basically he made a promise that games released here would be of a certain quality and he's living up to his standards.

that is not at all where the praise is coming from, the game was reviewing extremely well initially, which got amplified by dunkey's extremely loud fanbase because of that

It's probably because people like indie metroidvanias, cute animals, and single dev success stories

It's too early for me to say if he's harder or not but the second form is some Final Fantasy 14 ass fight design, you've got MMO AOE markers going off everywhere. It's just a much different style of fight. It's less about watching the boss's attack patterns and more about staring at the floor, lol

Speaking of adventuring I should probably work on exploration before Natlan drops and I am ridiculously behind. Hell, if there's a summer event zone it'll destroy me.

As for strongest element, that's an easy Hydro for me. Busted element gameplay wise, Fontaine has a lot of heavy hitters in the lore too. Maybe the worst thing you can say about it is that there's barely any 4*s

At level 4 you should be good numerically for the underdark, it's just kind of a nasty place to be. Feeling uneasy is the point! That said if you aren't feeling it just go back topside, you will get a HUGE power boost at level 5 that will make the first act of the game much easier.

Also since this topic is about respeccing: you can also respec the party members, but as much as I love to minmax I don't think this is necessary and the default builds are fine for a newbie...aside from Shadowheart whose build I think is criminal. They gave her a stealth-centric build which is cool if you like group stealth but nearly useless otherwise, either way it's just very unintuitive if you are new to the system and is a mistake. I would HIGHLY suggest respeccing her, changing her Domain (Life is a good one if you'd like a strong healer but Light and War are also strong), slapping the heaviest armor you can get on her, and pumping her Wisdom as high as you can get it, then Con and/or Strength.

Trust me on this, they did my girl so dirty

Finally got the achievement for facing every miniboss in the underground. For whatever reason, I'd only encountered the sea serpent boss in Oceanus and was missing the second one for like twenty runs.

Yeah I'm feeling pretty burned because I didn't expect a mainline SMT game to get the Persona Remake treatment. But it looks great and it's good more people can experience an actually good version of the game. And I of course am still picking it up, this just falls into wait a few months for a sale territory.

I do not like the wands but I think you probably need to be using the special frequently too. Like, using special as your primary fire and having an Omega Special orbiting you while you are charging up the attack. I messed around with the aspect that makes the attack charged shots linger and detonate when hit with the special, special is more useful than it seems and the detonations were strong so I see the vision but it still felt clumsy to play.

It might just be bad boon synergy but most of my builds come down to Omega Spam except on the axe and knives (even then, knife special is worthless outside of the omega and axe omegas are really good). The exception has been a couple runs where I can get a really good "prime" ability - like the Zeus prime for chain lightning combined with a staff buff that removed omega attack for rapid fire - but most of the time I don't think priming is worth the hit to MP. I'd love to know what others are doing cause I couldn't figure it out lol

The skulls I think are another weapon where you want to be spamming the omega moves constantly. The normal attack is fairly worthless but with charge attacks it's a weird hybrid of the rail gun special + shield special. I don't think it's weak but the playatyle is super weird and makes it hard to go all-in on one thing. Still like them more than the wands...

I also wonder if some of the weapons just need to be fully upgraded to be good. One of the aspects on that one extends the duration of the dash and is pretty fun but it's not really a huge damage uptick at base level.

From looking over Reddit, Eris does seem to be a time gating mechanic. The way people think it works is that she starts in one region and will move downwards every 3 nights or maybe after certain story milestones get reached. If she's gone from the fourth region, she probably won't appear anymore?

I don't know if it's bad design per se, it's clearly trying to solve an issue the first game had where it was very easy to sequence break a lot of the dialogue progression. It makes sense as a solve to me but I didn't get hit with it hard, if you are really good at the game it's gonna be way more frustrating.

The game is full of stuff meant to drag out progression and it's been hit or miss for me. I'm personally very annoyed by how resource gathering works - only being able to choose between one type of tool (that's only slightly mitigated by animal companions which take forever to unlock) slows upgrade progression down SO much. But on the other hand I do like how unlocking thr sirface works, to do so you essentially have to do suicide runs to amass resources which necessarily wastes time, but it's super quick and guarantees you use a few cycles doing it.

You have no HP because your constitution mod is +0 which means in addition to being a wizard which has the lowest HP total, you're getting no bonus points. If you're unfamiliar with D&D rules, basically every 2 points in a stat gives you a bonus to your modifier which is what matter 99% of the time. A 10 and an 11 are functionally identical for the most part. And what KP said about minmaxing is correct. So yes I would respec.

For any class you want to start with at least a 16 in your main stat, and a 14 in your secondary/tertiary stats. If you're REALLY minmaxy you can get two 16s sometimes. For a wizard your main stat is Int, your next priorities are Dexterity and then Constitution. Dex increases your armor score and makes you harder to hit, Con gives you more HP and helps you concentrate on spells with an ongoing effect. STR, WIS, CHA are all dump stats for a wizard. STR is totally useless except for carry capacity and can be dumped, WIS and CHA have passive social benefits in BG3 but since you aren't specializing, their score won't make or break anything. As you level your top priority should be getting INT to 20 asap.

also take Mage Armor and remember to cast it every day, it'll help you not get hit

I mean I'm pretty satisfied with what I played, it just literally does not have the polish and extra content that made me sink 100 hours into Hades 1. But still this is on par or exceeds what I expected from early access.

You're still gonna have a better time going for true end in Hades 1 than playing this EA, but that's just because that game is a ridiculously high standard tbh

In other words, this is More Hades but I don't think it's gonna convert anyone who wasn't on board

Got to Chronos, but I couldn't keep up with his damage. Where do I get the reagent to open up the ward to the surface? I've been through four areas now, and never seen it, and people keep nudging me to do it.

One of the ingredients requires a separate alchemy ritual to make, it unlocked automatically for me the night after the ward unsealing ritual was added

Almost as rude an awakening as Eris encounters (who's been there each time I made it to 3rd region and I'm getting really pissed off here)

Oh lmao I only have run into her the initial time which I figured was scripted to slow your progression on purpose. Didn't know she could keep showing up. Truly an agent of chaos.

Nemesis though I've run into a lot and beating her contest is dramatically more difficult if you encounter her early versus late. I've also tied her which does nothing. But she at least has a variety of events that can pop up so it's not always a contest.

the only other thing bothering me is the lack of a posted chamber number. Did people not like that in the original? Personally I liked knowing how far I was from the region's end, yeah there being a Charon room signifies that anyways but still, I'd like to get into the habit of knowing which chamber numbers mark the end of which regions.

It's in there somewhere, I want to say top right corner when you open your boons screen? It'll say "location x." It's not visually obvious.

Nemesis' Evil Eye trinket seems way worse than Odysseus' Knuckle Bones. Unless you go down to non-bosses, I guess.

oh also I believe the trick to Evil Eye is that it includes Death Defiances, not just your run ender, so if you die during a boss fight you then get the bonus damage when you revive. That said I still prefer Knuckle Bones and used it in my clear, but if you told me that Evil Eye scales better I'd believe it.

Speaking of trinkets, I'm convinced Hecate's that gives you like 2000 extra MP must be insanely good in some builds (maybe the wands), but I didn't mess around with it much past the start of the game and settled on a more generic build rotation for my trinkets (usually starting with Charon money purse -> third zone friendly npc trinket -> skelly revive or knuckle bones)

Ok first boss kill complete after 26 runs! Basically wound up with a bunch of defensive boons and a legendary bonus death defiance to outlast the boss. Typical first winning Hades build lol. Plus I was using the knives which I am actually good at playing.

Given that the mount olympus route is unfinished in EA this may be a good stopping point. At least, I'm not gonna be going as hard on it anymore. There's still a bunch of stuff I didn't get around to but the permanent progression feels MUCH slower than in the original Hades so I don't know how much time I want to sink into it before the first major balance patch.

Weirdly I think the third area is easier than the second

Maybe not absolutely but the spike in difficulty is much smaller

Fourth isn't fucking around at all though

topside is kinda confusing progression-wise idk where it stacks up yet but I think I'm going to push further up there before going for the Cronos kill

Oh the axe can dash delay its combos, that makes it way better

https://www.backloggd.com/u/HDT/
There's an aspect for the flames that makes the shots explode that seems a lot more powerful but doesn't exactly feel better to play.

I gotta say I'm sorta disappointed with the weapons in this one. The staff is ok but the only one I really like are the blades which are the most similar to a Hades 1 weapon. The skulls are kind of like the cast shield aspect in the first game which I liked but feel worse. The axe I haven't had a chance to get a good feel for but it's VERY slow and while it can block, the delay between blocking and the omega move on the special means you get hit which is...a choice.

I don't think it's bad necessarily but the gameplay changes in this game don't mesh with how I liked to play Hades 1. Everything in this game is highly dependent on charge attacks, the dash nerf means you need to be more precise and/or do more hit an run strategies from at range. Feels like the bow was the template for the combat design in 2 and that was my least favorite weapon by far.

Duran isn't bis for Ratio I don't think. It takes a whopping four turns to max it even assuming an ultimate goes off which is way too long if you're trying to go fast compared to Salsotto and high end Glamoth. Probably worse than Sigonia for dedicated PFers like Herta and Himeko too, though you can at least see if that pays off. Definitely bis for Topaz though, and possibly Clara.

The wording is "an ally" meaning it will trigger from Topaz and Aventurine's FUAs, it should blow Salsotto out of the water for teams that abuse multiple triggers, but not in hypercarry comps.

The Erudition one is the best F2P cone for that path, although we are ALLEGEDLY getting an Erudition Herta cone at some point but who knows.

The others I think are more character dependent. For example the Hunt one is really good for Topaz and only loses to maxed out Swordplay or 5* cones, but it's garbage for Ratio. The Harmony one is basically just for Gallagher.

Oh also don't buy all 5 copies from the currency store. Several of them are quest rewards for finding all the hidden birds in a Penacony area, some come from the clockie statue, so check first. I know there's one Erudition cone you can get that way.
