I'm going to give in to the hype and buy this now. I was going to wait until I got through more of my backlog but I'm moving at a snail's pace. Gonna bump this to the front of the queue

That's basically what I did when I got it. I waited for a 20% off sale, because why not, but I immediately played it as soon as I bought it because it's one I was really hyped for.

If you guys can 100% this game then you can with Bloodborne too. And if you enjoy this game, do me a favor and try Bloodborne. 100% solo totally doable too.
I will promise you will scream at your TV, especially post game in the fetid runs when you're getting into the hundreds of levels even after you think you're good at the game. But when it's all over, you'll have found one of the best games ever made. And you can trust it's well coded and free of crashing bugs and crap too. Again, there will be moments when you're gutted and think "that's impossible. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!" If you guys can beat this game and wreck Hades most times, you're a pretty good gamer. I'm betting most normies can't even beat this once. Maybe I'm wrong. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ill keep it in mind and give Bloodborne another shot soon I keep trying but Souls games just havent clicked with me yet. They seem so cool though, just the art and the worlds where they take place are so interesting --- my resting temp can easily be in the 90's -Krazy_Kirby ... Copied to Clipboard!

bloodborne is an entirely different genre of game
that's like me saying "if you can win at PONG you can beat through the fire and flames on expert hyperspeed 5 in guitar hero 3" also bloodborne sucks --- my delusion is better than facing the truth about me ... Copied to Clipboard!

The reason why this game is so awesome is the rogue-like nature is tied into the narrative of the story. So many rogue-likes don't do this you just die and whoops restart the game with maybe a few upgrades try again. This game actually rewards you even with success and failure because you get more story threads and interesting things to learn in the story.
Shit even if you complete a full run and finally "beat the game" for the first time that doesn't end the game and show the final cut scene. The more you play the more you get involved with the story, since it is rather compelling and is very well written and the voice actors are all excellent. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, the degree to which the story is integrated into the gameplay loop and the central mechanics actually make sense instead of just being there for the sake of the game is really quite impressive. And then there are just so many delightful character interactions and side quests. I was particularly fond of Achilles'.

Finally beat it with fists. Got to Hades like 5 times and nothing. This time I just dodged a bit better. The adds were thinner too.

A lot of people just stick with the Athena dash which admittedly is very good, but stuff like the Poseidon and Zeus dash can become really effective and let you quickly deal a lot of damage while keeping you out of harms way

I always do Athena dash. I like her skill, but attack is for Dionysus, and alt attack is for Ares for me And Artemis for cast and ultimate skill

I'm surprised you guys are so good at it. Maybe im just getting old but this shit ain't easy. I know people who would never ever beat this. I guess vet gamers just get good enough over the years.
For example. Remember Ninja Garden on Xbox back on the early 2000s? My friend Keith and I got it at the same time. He was hyped. He loved it. Dude never even got past the first boss. Like wtf. How to you buy a game and that's the extent of it for you? lol Anywho, I went from being shit at it to totally ninja master rating on highest difficulty. I never did play the sequels. Anyway, I'm going to try and platinum this game before Tales of Arise comes out. Honestly I feel inadequate, but hell, I felt that way about Bloodborne too. If I just stick with it, eventually I'll make it. I just wish I was better quicker. Oh yeah one last example. My brother isn't a gamer really. But he loved Kingdom Hearts. He got to Maleficent and couldn't beat her and just stopped there. Forever. That blows my mind. Some people just don't have the patience to die over and over. I think he gave it 5 tries and that was it. It's people like him that made me reconsider the journalist difficulty level. I would rather people be able to see the story. Like, my girlfriend would never beat Hades. She was better than me at MLB The Show 2019 though. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like I've gotten way better at video games as I aged, which is weird because most people seem to complain about the opposite. I think it's mostly because I was really, really bad at video games as a child.
I'm sure I'll hit a point where I start to decline soon though. People get super elitist watching game reviewers play games though, it's really pathetic. --- I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility. ...

Had some great RNG and managed to get to Hades with 2/3 death defiances left. Shooting for the Arthur aspect so I can switch out these keepsakes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You may enjoy them with the range buff. They don't get as sick as the spear can, but they reach pretty far. It's amazing how if you force yourself to stick with a weapon long enough, you can find a build that you enjoy.
The automatic fire spear split into 3 with chain and jolted lightning is sickening. I still haven't used the exagryph long enough, but I bet there's a neat build for it too. I got unlimited ammo once. It was pretty cool. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is it just me, or is Nectar a super hard resource to come by? I get maybe 2 per run (including fishing), and I need like 10 per character. Meanwhile I'm swimming in Ambrosia.
