Can you explain why there is a fricking magazine fed full-auto rifle with grenade launcher as a weapon choice then?
>Greek mythology was always sci-fi and that Heph can produce robot legs?
Have you never read the fricking Iliad before?
He spake, and from the anvil rose, a huge, panting bulk, halting the while, but beneath him his slender legs moved nimbly. The bellows he set away from the fire, and gathered all the tools wherewith he wrought into a silver chest; and with a sponge wiped he his face and his two hands withal, [415] and his mighty neck and shaggy breast, and put upon him a tunic, and grasped a stout staff, and went forth halting; but there moved swiftly to support their lord handmaidens wrought of gold in the semblance of living maids. In them is understanding in their hearts, and in them speech [420] and strength, and they know cunning handiwork by gift of the immortal gods. These busily moved to support their lord, and he, limping nigh to where Thetis was, sat him down upon a shining chair; and he clasped her by the hand, and spake, and addressed her: “Wherefore, long-robed Thetis, art thou come to our house, [425] an honoured guest and a welcome? Heretofore thou hast not been wont to come. Speak what is in thy mind; my heart bids me fulfill it, if fulfill it I can, and it is a thing that hath fulfillment.”
you actual snotnosed fricking morons, one of the most well known parts about Hephaestus in mythology is that hes a crippled cuck whos legs dont work - thats why Aphrodite bangs Ares over him. stop turning existing myths into fuel for your muh culture war horseshit
Definitely better, although giving her weapons is weird.

We dont know. We got guesses but reality is spartans were functionally the equivalent of a slave trading tribe in Africa. All our records, mentions of them and history of them comes from external sources, they didnt write shit down they didnt build anything, they weren't major navigators or explorers. Honestly they also literally never won a major war without some other big ppwer baxking them up, so their status as great warriors is debatable.

If you ever read the Iliad, which I know you haven't, you would know the wheel chair of all things is the least stupid part of his design to complain about. You dumb Black person, shut the frick up.
Nah it's a valid point because the wheelchair is a 1 by 1 copy of a modern wheelchair they didn't even bother to make it something creative like a reverse chariot or sedan, have a nice day btw.
Hephaestus got thrown off Mt. Olympus twice, once by Hera because he was a ugly baby, and again by Zeus because he tried to stop him from beating up Hera
Ancient European cultures understood that gods were more relatable and interesting if they had flaws and personalities. The gods reflect the natural world and the nature of man, so have foibles and imperfections. Contrast them with the Abrahamic god, who is the equivalent of a kid on the playground who always says 'Yeah well my power is the same as yours except it's stronger and I have no weaknesses and I can have any new power I want.'
so polytheists were the ancient equivalent of capeshit fans?

No, because capeshit is juvenile and purely entertainment. Nobody is staring down certain death, looking for that last ounce of courage to make his death meaningful, and calls out to Batman or Captain America for strength. Ancient gods were important to the people who believed in them. They were life and death. They were integral to the fabric of their world.
I know you're just being flippant and spewing buzzwords because you want to fit in, but you'd probably benefit from educating yourself.
>'Yeah well my power is the same as yours except it's stronger and I have no weaknesses and I can have any new power I want.'

No, hes not lame in that he cant walk, hes hunched and crooked, ugly and with club foot but hes not wheelchair bound. If he was in a wheelchair he could not move around his workshop.
People in real life use wheelchairs to help them get around even though they can technically walk a bit. It's not just for when you're literally incapable of standing.

So he's just lazy.
I don’t care that he’s using a wheelchair. We had this discussion a million times, it’s the fact they put the least effort into those designs and it makes it look lame as shit.
you just know a baragay designed this character and is jerking off furiously too it
lol, do you know anything about greek mythology? The fricker was thrown off a mountain and crippled.
He's known for being hideous.
I agree with all these, the prosthetic and wheelchair feel oddly at odds like he should bee able to make something more practical out of either of them instead of having shit versions of both, but he's just straight up too pretty to bee Haephestus
not sure if I care for the gut either, I can see they might have been going for something like a strongman/strongfat look, but as a blacksmith of the gods he probably shouldn't be that fat
it just feels like throwing a bunch of "diverse" and horny traits together and it just doesn't feel genuine more than anything else
>moron who never fricking read greek mythology before
I understand the wheelchair being a bit moronic but if any god was going to be a fricked up strongfat cripple it'd be Hephaestus. Dude was thrown off of fricking Mount Olympus as a child for being 'ugly' and was disfigured further from his fall.
>autistic alphabet soup moron gets hired to write slop like this for minimum wage >offputting chuddy morons online get baited into freely sharing and promulgating it everywhere they go, marketing the product for free >purchasing the game becomes entirely about values signaling, detestable shut-ins with anger problems hate this slop therefore the morally correct current thing crowd buys it to spite them >game sales now detached from product quality, letting you run a developer slaughterhouse that churns through low wage low skill workers
it's actually amazing how well this worked for a while though market saturation and a tightening financial market are beginning to undermine the returns
I love Pharoah. It’s a great roguelike, has a cleverly-crafted story, and is stuffed with beautiful art and design. But what I like most about it is its commitment to diversity among its characters.
Pharoah’s pantheon of Egyptian gods is diverse. Horus is a fair-skinned German woman. Anubis is northern Irish. Osiris is east Irish. Isis, my favorite, is a white woman crowned with a beautiful ponytail made from the branches and canopy of a tree.
Yet when I highlighted this wealth of people of beauty in my gushing over Pharoah, I was told by a commenter that “Egyptian mythological heroes and Aryan does [sic] not fit together.” Though completely ahistorical, a lot of video games featuring these myths seem to believe the same, at least in terms of their design.
>Horus is a fair-skinned German woman. Anubis is northern Irish. Osiris is east Irish. Isis, my favorite, is a white woman crowned with a beautiful ponytail made from the branches and canopy of a tree.

Yeah, it's a troony game alright. Why didn't they make hom a Black person? Might as well go all the way.
If it was some mechanical chariot and he was still standing maybe, MAYBE it could have been passable, but no the troony subhumans want all that DEI money wiener down their throat.
There are multiple myths that portray Hephaestus as using some manner of device analogous to a wheelchair, usually referred to as some sort of sitting chariot or a literal wheeled chair.

No shit the first game was woke and race changed the greek pantheon of gods so the sequel is doubling down on all forms of woke pandering, not surprising.
I don't really care about what political agenda the devs may or may not have. I really don't give a shit. But I do think the art of the greek gods in Hades is generally ugly, and I don't like ugly art in my video games.
The hephaestus thing is fine. All Supergiant games are woke trash made by degenerates. If you're excited for gender swapped Zagreus who is almost certainly going to be a lesbian or at least bi I don't know what to tell you. Except for dilate ywnbaw.
>the canonically crippled god in a wheelchaired, with fricked up legs, whose famous for building automatons >is crippled and in a wheelchair, with a mechanical prosthetic in place of his fricked up leg
Like the only creative choice here that's taking some liberties is how obese he is. But considering how crippled and canonically fricked up he is, it genuinely isn't difficult to imagine that he'd grow fat.
Hephaestus isn't some admirable figure. Especially not as far as his body is concerned.
He is like the gods' punching bag and a canonical cuck.
So yeah. What's the big deal? Are you mad that they did Hephaestus faithfully or are you mad that they featured him at all?
>faithfully
Nice of you to take the Santa Monica cope cop out to why Odin is a sniveling bald israelite and Thor is some fat cuck with a bulging beer gut.
>Because you hide behind the veil of """""historical accuracy"""""" to excuse

That's neat. I don't like defending GoW but not every game is meant to cater to you.
GoW Thor looks like some guy who used to be in peak physical condition but got fat after years of doing nothing but drinking and sitting around. Exactly like he's portrayed as in the game.

To be fair, having Hephaestus cured of his gimp legs would ruin him because that's literally a foundational part of his character. He's ugly, he's lame, and he's either despised or looked down upon by almost every other god in the pantheon, despite being the guy who makes all their cool stuff.
anon thats the fricking point
in a world where all of that is possible, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A MODERN WHEELCHAIR?
Why can't it be a mount?
Why can't it be any other kind of magical seat?
Why can't it be an enchanted set of armor that lets you walk?
Why can't it be magic peglegs or some shit?
Why can't it be actually functioning legs because (in most settings) YOU CAN PAY SOMEONE TO BRING SOMEONE BACK FROM THE DEAD
trying to force all of these possible answers to the question of "legs don't work, how do adventure" into a wheelchair is why people find it ridiculous, and virtue signaling of the highest order since its clear whatever suit thought it up in some WotC diversity meeting hasn't had anything resembling an original thought in their lives, but pushed it through regardless

which again, is pure speculation from the fact there's a wheel on it. It was actually stated that he had mechanical helpers who did almost everything for him that didn't involve the actual smithing.
Because the lack of legs equivalent would be moving around with your arms like a gorilla, not a wheelchair.
Which to be fair, actually sounds cool now that I say it out loud.
Meanwhile the blind equivalent of a wheelchair is one of those dogs or a literal stick, which is uncool when blind monks are literally developing supernatural powers from their lack of functioning eyes.

In the "God of War" series, Hephaestus is indeed depicted as a significant character. In "God of War III," he is portrayed as a skilled blacksmith and craftsman, known for creating powerful weapons and artifacts for the gods. While he is not explicitly shown using a wheelchair, he does have a physical deformity, often depicted as a twisted leg or limp, which aligns with traditional representations of Hephaestus in Greek mythology.
Despite his physical disability, Hephaestus is portrayed as a formidable and influential figure in the game, contributing to the protagonist Kratos's journey through his creations and guidance. His inclusion adds depth to the game's narrative and mythology, showcasing themes of resilience, ingenuity, and the complexities of divine relationships.
Overall, the depiction of Hephaestus in "God of War" is one example of how video games can explore and reinterpret traditional mythological characters while incorporating elements of disability and diversity into their narratives.

The portrayal of characters in video games, including their physical attributes and abilities, can vary widely depending on the game's design, themes, and artistic choices. In "Hades," the characters are often depicted with diverse backgrounds, personalities, and physical characteristics, which can contribute to the richness of the game's world and storytelling.
While some players may appreciate the representation of characters with disabilities, obesity, or other unique traits as a form of inclusivity and diversity, others may have different perspectives on how these elements are portrayed. It's essential to consider individual viewpoints and interpretations when discussing the depiction of characters in games.
Ultimately, whether a game is considered "woke" or not depends on individual perspectives and values, and it's up to each player to decide how they feel about the representation of characters and themes in the game.
You're correct; Hephaestus (or Vulcan in Roman mythology) is traditionally depicted as walking with a limp due to being disabled, often using a cane or other assistive device. Thank you for clarifying. Hephaestus is indeed an iconic figure in Greek mythology, known as the god of fire, blacksmiths, craftsmen, and artisans. His physical disability is an essential aspect of his character, emphasizing themes of resilience, creativity, and adaptation.
In "Hades," Hephaestus is represented as a key character, contributing to the game's rich mythology and lore. While his depiction may differ from traditional portrayals in some aspects, his inclusion adds depth and complexity to the game's world and characters.
out of all the gods to turn into a fatso, making the blacksmith one a fatso makes zero sense
you actually need to be a buff gigachad to be a traditional blacksmith, that shit is a LOT of demanding exercise in hot temperatures and for extended periods of time
All this wokeslop debating misses the core elephant in the room of the actual game being boring bland trash even by roguelite standards.
You know it's bad when any semblance of "synergies" the game has is literally fusing 2 upgrades into one.
Well yeah. OP has clearly never played the game or he'd have plenty of complaints about the actual gameplay. He just pays attention to game news so he can get mad about games he doesn't play.

I also don't expect literal DEI puppets to be able to make good gameplay out of the blue.
"Hades," developed by Supergiant Games, offers a unique interpretation of Greek mythology, blending traditional elements with modern storytelling and artistic style. While the game draws inspiration from Greek mythology and features many recognizable gods, heroes, and creatures, it also takes creative liberties and introduces original characters and narrative twists.
In terms of accuracy, "Hades" captures the essence of Greek mythology by incorporating key themes, characters, and stories from ancient Greek culture. However, it also takes creative liberties to adapt and reinterpret these elements to fit the game's narrative and gameplay mechanics. This may involve reimagining certain characters' personalities or roles, introducing new storylines or relationships, or adapting mythological events to suit the game's pacing and structure.
Overall, while "Hades" may not adhere strictly to the details of Greek mythology, it provides an engaging and immersive experience that captures the spirit and themes of the ancient tales. It offers players a chance to explore a vibrant world filled with iconic figures from Greek mythology while experiencing a fresh and original story-driven gameplay experience.
In "Hades," Artemis is indeed depicted with dark skin, which reflects a creative choice made by the developers at Supergiant Games. The game offers a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique visual design, personality, and background. While traditional depictions of Artemis in ancient Greek art often portray her with fair or pale skin, "Hades" reimagines her appearance with darker skin to reflect the game's diverse and inclusive approach to character design.
Representation in media, including video games, is evolving to better reflect the diversity of real-world cultures and experiences. By depicting Artemis with dark skin, "Hades" contributes to this broader trend of inclusivity and representation in storytelling, offering players a more diverse and varied cast of characters to engage with.
Ultimately, the portrayal of Artemis as black in "Hades" is a creative choice by the developers, aimed at providing a fresh and unique interpretation of the character while promoting diversity and representation in the game's world.
In ancient Greece, the population was diverse, and people's appearances varied widely. While the ancient Greeks are often depicted with fair or light skin in classical art and literature, it's essential to recognize that ancient Greek society was not homogenous, and there was likely a range of skin tones among the population.
Historically, Greece has been a crossroads of different cultures and civilizations, with influences from neighboring regions such as the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, and North Africa. As a result, ancient Greeks would have interacted with people of various ethnic backgrounds, leading to diversity in physical appearances.
Additionally, the depiction of Greeks as uniformly white or fair-skinned is often influenced by modern interpretations and artistic conventions rather than historical accuracy. Ancient Greek art, for example, often depicted figures with idealized proportions and features, which may not accurately reflect the diversity of the population.
It's essential to approach historical and mythological interpretations with an understanding of the complexities of ancient societies and the limitations of our modern perspectives. Embracing diversity and inclusivity in representations of ancient cultures allows for a more nuanced and accurate understanding of history and mythology.
You say this game is raceswapping however yet to state why this is a bad thing. Are you just racist anon? You hate the black people being in your video game you weren't going to play anyway? Well guess what I'm black and I appreciate variety in my games. Dark skin appeals to me and that's what the game devs accomplished by race swapping a few Greek gods.
Nobody is paying me anything to post here. I just felt like standing up to you, you fricking racist ass c**t go frick yourself this ain't a hug box echo chamber b***h.

Well yeah. But they never really touch on Medusa's story. The related myths and legends. And only just barely touches on Dusa's relationship with the gods.
That's why I called it distant.
it's really funny now, because the actual in-game effects make everyone a blobby mess, but it's really fricking funny how he even looks like a literal thug
like are they DEI slopping with zero self awareness?
Ares is black in the literal sense, he is carbon color its kinda cool, he is not a Black person, Black person he doesnt have big fish lips or nappy hair or a flat wide chimp nose.
Its amazing how you can guess it. >unfaithful relationship >its a Black person isnt it >well you see in our efforts to be inclusive and diverse
Its a Black person.
This isnt what the story is you dumbass. its about the titan chronos taking over hades (place) and imprisoning Hades, Persephone, and Zagreus. you're trying to break in to save them.
Jesus was presumed dead, went into Hell to frick shit up for 3 days, pulls his boys out, btfo everyone forever when they find out he is above death. What's not to get? Christ defeated death by death lil anon
You can tell a person's personality and overall education level from their interpretation of greek mythology. It's more accurate than both astrology and IQ
Because that's the entire fricking point? Do you genuinely think these people care about making the world a better or worse place? They do bad things because they think it will net them more money and power. If that isn't working out then of course he's going to start kvetching.
Is this all you people care about?
You guys polluted this board so much with the games you hate, you spend so much time promoting shit that triggers you, that you're missing out on the actual good ones.
Do you enjoy living like this?
Absolutely nothing wrong with defending yourself and the wider civilization. If they didn't want a culture war, they shouldn't have gone on a cultural offensive.
>defending yourself and wider civilization
holy fricking shit, do Black folk really think theyre doing this when they go on a thread and post the troon hanging gif?
You do know that disabled people have had a ton of representation in like most of the post millennium right? Or did a dude in a wheelchair kick your ass at some point so you're holding a grudge against them?
If it's a culture war then you're losing it badly, and nobody wants to be on the losing side.
I'm talking about exposure. Instead of promoting games you like you boost the games you hate, and google's algorythm doesn't care if you hate it, only cares about the mentions.
By talking about those games you claim to be SJW, you are actively promoting them.
Now name 10 anti-woke games. I dare you. You can't ,because you're a cuck addicted to outrage. They exist, though.

Why did my wife Hera toss Hephaestus off Mt Olympus again? Was he one of Zeus' many, many kids from another woman? Hera's entire mythology is just getting assmad at Zeus and punishing women/kids instead since she can't do shit to Zeus.
It's interesting how the threads all started by shitting on Hephaestus's depiction. And now they've instead shifted to just shitting on Hades and the Supergiant devs broadly. Ignoring how the depiction wasn't an issue.

Have you never read the fricking Iliad before?
He spake, and from the anvil rose, a huge, panting bulk, halting the while, but beneath him his slender legs moved nimbly. The bellows he set away from the fire, and gathered all the tools wherewith he wrought into a silver chest; and with a sponge wiped he his face and his two hands withal, [415] and his mighty neck and shaggy breast, and put upon him a tunic, and grasped a stout staff, and went forth halting; but there moved swiftly to support their lord handmaidens wrought of gold in the semblance of living maids. In them is understanding in their hearts, and in them speech [420] and strength, and they know cunning handiwork by gift of the immortal gods. These busily moved to support their lord, and he, limping nigh to where Thetis was, sat him down upon a shining chair; and he clasped her by the hand, and spake, and addressed her: “Wherefore, long-robed Thetis, art thou come to our house, [425] an honoured guest and a welcome? Heretofore thou hast not been wont to come. Speak what is in thy mind; my heart bids me fulfill it, if fulfill it I can, and it is a thing that hath fulfillment.”

you actual snotnosed fricking morons, one of the most well known parts about Hephaestus in mythology is that hes a crippled cuck whos legs dont work - thats why Aphrodite bangs Ares over him. stop turning existing myths into fuel for your muh culture war horseshit
They don't learn anything but charging phones and tiktok in school anymore.
Lameness =/= being a fricking wheelchair bound cripple you disingenuous c**t.
Would you rather he be crawling around on screen with backwards feet and one shrivelled leg niggy? Gtfo
Why would he be crawling around, his disfigurement is that he had clubbed feet not a fricked up leg.

THE GREEKS HAD WHEEL CHAIRS?
Huh. Also, Aphrodite is sexy now
Imean, they had wheels, and they had chairs. Surely, ancient civilization had wheelchairs.
Definitely better, although giving her weapons is weird.
Aphrodite as a war god was a thing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite_Areia
I think the theory is that Ares got captured and so she's taking up his role in this game, she has his facepaint
Huh, why were the Spartans like this?
Theory is that Aphrodite has roots in older gods like Ishtar, who were also more warlike. The Romans also had Venus be warlike at times too.
We dont know. We got guesses but reality is spartans were functionally the equivalent of a slave trading tribe in Africa. All our records, mentions of them and history of them comes from external sources, they didnt write shit down they didnt build anything, they weren't major navigators or explorers. Honestly they also literally never won a major war without some other big ppwer baxking them up, so their status as great warriors is debatable.

Go back to begging the persians for soldiers, money and weapons to win a war because you are too much of a stupid Black person to figure out how walls work.
both have man faces, you are a homosexual for lusting after men
She has a very feminine body that no troon would have. You need to calm your jets.
Man torso
the Aphrodite cult spread to Greece from Sparta and was based from Astarte a war goddess
>Somehow the civilization with Chariots can't figure out the basic idea of attaching wheels to a chair for cripples to move around comfortably
Cmon mang
too hot, they'll definitely ESG her.
His entire family were massacred by a wheel that rolled in to town one day. Don’t trivialise his trauma
If you ever read the Iliad, which I know you haven't, you would know the wheel chair of all things is the least stupid part of his design to complain about. You dumb Black person, shut the frick up.
Nah it's a valid point because the wheelchair is a 1 by 1 copy of a modern wheelchair they didn't even bother to make it something creative like a reverse chariot or sedan, have a nice day btw.
Hades 1 had a fricking gun
he was literally thrown off Olympus as an infant you cretin
Why is a god lame to begin with?
because greek gods were funny characters from plays they liked
The Greek Gods are more like soap opera characters that happen to have superpowers.
Hera cucked Zeus with creation.
Hephaestus got thrown off Mt. Olympus twice, once by Hera because he was a ugly baby, and again by Zeus because he tried to stop him from beating up Hera
Was Zeus on the right or should have let him beat the shit out of Hera, to be fair if you get beated up by a cripple....
Ancient European cultures understood that gods were more relatable and interesting if they had flaws and personalities. The gods reflect the natural world and the nature of man, so have foibles and imperfections. Contrast them with the Abrahamic god, who is the equivalent of a kid on the playground who always says 'Yeah well my power is the same as yours except it's stronger and I have no weaknesses and I can have any new power I want.'
so polytheists were the ancient equivalent of capeshit fans?
No, because capeshit is juvenile and purely entertainment. Nobody is staring down certain death, looking for that last ounce of courage to make his death meaningful, and calls out to Batman or Captain America for strength. Ancient gods were important to the people who believed in them. They were life and death. They were integral to the fabric of their world.
I know you're just being flippant and spewing buzzwords because you want to fit in, but you'd probably benefit from educating yourself.
>'Yeah well my power is the same as yours except it's stronger and I have no weaknesses and I can have any new power I want.'
The final boss of Medaka Box did that and she was hot as frick. Omnipotent brats are the peak of fetish material.
It wasn't a cuck religion about bending the knee to a nonsense power fantasy
the worst post of the day.
No, hes not lame in that he cant walk, hes hunched and crooked, ugly and with club foot but hes not wheelchair bound. If he was in a wheelchair he could not move around his workshop.
>If he was in a wheelchair he could not move around his workshop.
You assume he never gets out of the wheelchair for some dumb reason.
>hes crippled but he can just get up and walk whenever he wants
Thats a bit silly.
People in real life use wheelchairs to help them get around even though they can technically walk a bit. It's not just for when you're literally incapable of standing.
Lazy homosexuals should stop being fricking liars
You've never known someone in a wheelchair have you? Do you see the mechanical leg?
Never known anyone in a wheelchair who could get off it whenever and worked a physical job no.
>Never known anyone in a wheelchair
We know.
People who fake injuries arent decent people.
>Never known anyone in a wheelchair
How many people have you known that were wheelchair bound?
How many people in wheelchairs have you known who could carry thousands of pounds of steel around a forge?
How many people in wheelchairs have you known that were literal gods?
I don't know any Greek Gods.
How many people in not in wheelchairs have you known who could carry thousands of pounds of steel around a forge?
2. Strongman comp in my city was cool to watch. You still havent explained how the guy in a wheelxhair is supposed to be move hundreds of pounds of metal and all this heavy weight while being fat and slovenly in a wheelchair.
>You still havent explained how the guy in a wheelxhair is supposed to be move hundreds of pounds of metal and all this heavy weight while being fat and slovenly in a wheelchair.
He isn't a guy, he's a God and he isn't in the wheelchair when he's working.
He built the wheel chair to flex on the other gods. It's meant to be more like a chariot.
>hes just in a wheelchair whenever but not when he needs to work
Hes not bacchus, he isnt that much of a lazy c**t.
Stump gets sore after a long day at the forge.
>he isn't in the wheelchair when he's working.
So he's just lazy.
Says the person that doesn't know the wheelchair wasn't invented till the 17th century AD. Eight centuries after the religion was dead.
troony mythology.
I don’t care that he’s using a wheelchair. We had this discussion a million times, it’s the fact they put the least effort into those designs and it makes it look lame as shit.
Masatu(pic releated), Charles Xavier’s floating chair, Nagi Tahira but these devs always take the lazy and simple route
if his legs are crippled he'a supposed to look lame
>if his legs are crippled he'a supposed to look lame
Liberals have the most insane backhanded complimentary logic, it’s insane.
He made a pun you insufferable moron.
Housamo did it better
hephaestus is a cripple but the wheel chair is moronic. just give him prosthetics like every other design.
> like every other design.
Literally less creative at this point.
Holy shit is this what female coomer designs look like to people who aren't interested? This is awful.
I don't know whether OP is moronic or just fishing for (You)s, so I'm going to just save and go make a pot roast.
I assume some people make purposefully moronic OPs to see how many hispanics and indians will actually agree with it.
Aeeeee the canonically crippled god is crippled aeeeeeee
>Omg he's a fricking cripple like me!
Who the frick says this shit?
Thanks I'll play the game now.
Hades is a troony game. This was established at AGDQ this year when they had a mutt troony couple "racing" each other
Hephaestus is literally an ugly cripple in mythology though
If anything he looks too good in this
This, people are fricking idiots
>posts GT
>calls others trannies
I agree with all these, the prosthetic and wheelchair feel oddly at odds like he should bee able to make something more practical out of either of them instead of having shit versions of both, but he's just straight up too pretty to bee Haephestus
not sure if I care for the gut either, I can see they might have been going for something like a strongman/strongfat look, but as a blacksmith of the gods he probably shouldn't be that fat
it just feels like throwing a bunch of "diverse" and horny traits together and it just doesn't feel genuine more than anything else
>moron who never fricking read greek mythology before
I understand the wheelchair being a bit moronic but if any god was going to be a fricked up strongfat cripple it'd be Hephaestus. Dude was thrown off of fricking Mount Olympus as a child for being 'ugly' and was disfigured further from his fall.
Give the wheelchair some spider legs and I'm sold

Imagine the fricking rage from this gay if a series showed white Egyptian gods
I love Pharoah. It’s a great roguelike, has a cleverly-crafted story, and is stuffed with beautiful art and design. But what I like most about it is its commitment to diversity among its characters.
Pharoah’s pantheon of Egyptian gods is diverse. Horus is a fair-skinned German woman. Anubis is northern Irish. Osiris is east Irish. Isis, my favorite, is a white woman crowned with a beautiful ponytail made from the branches and canopy of a tree.
Yet when I highlighted this wealth of people of beauty in my gushing over Pharoah, I was told by a commenter that “Egyptian mythological heroes and Aryan does [sic] not fit together.” Though completely ahistorical, a lot of video games featuring these myths seem to believe the same, at least in terms of their design.
>Horus is a fair-skinned German woman. Anubis is northern Irish. Osiris is east Irish. Isis, my favorite, is a white woman crowned with a beautiful ponytail made from the branches and canopy of a tree.
are any of them egyptian?
No, that's the point.

Yeah, it's a troony game alright. Why didn't they make hom a Black person? Might as well go all the way.
He was specifically lame while also an expert craftsman. Having two functioning hands and bum legs makes more sense.
That said, they could have made the wheelchair more interesting than just being a 1:1 modern wheelchair.
If it was some mechanical chariot and he was still standing maybe, MAYBE it could have been passable, but no the troony subhumans want all that DEI money wiener down their throat.
There are multiple myths that portray Hephaestus as using some manner of device analogous to a wheelchair, usually referred to as some sort of sitting chariot or a literal wheeled chair.

They had chariots and wheels. Wheelchairs arent that complicated mechanically. Either way a god of the forge could have made it
They do apparently.
oh yeah and the greeks totally had sunglasses too back when they were alive. this is obviously ai generated
I dunno, ask Hephaestus. Gods are immortal so he should be around.
No, but they didn't have actual otherworldly entities running around having incestuous relations with each other either.
No shit the first game was woke and race changed the greek pantheon of gods so the sequel is doubling down on all forms of woke pandering, not surprising.
is that a WHEELCHAIR for the ugly and deformed god? HELP ME Black personMAN IM BEING GENOCIDED
I don't really care about what political agenda the devs may or may not have. I really don't give a shit. But I do think the art of the greek gods in Hades is generally ugly, and I don't like ugly art in my video games.
you just know a baragay designed this character and is jerking off furiously too it
lol, do you know anything about greek mythology? The fricker was thrown off a mountain and crippled.
He's known for being hideous.
The hephaestus thing is fine. All Supergiant games are woke trash made by degenerates. If you're excited for gender swapped Zagreus who is almost certainly going to be a lesbian or at least bi I don't know what to tell you. Except for dilate ywnbaw.

WHY DOES HE HAVE A METAL LEG IF HE STILL HAVE TO USE THE WHEEL CHAIR

He looks like somebody from Mediterr-Middle East, so yes, he looks Aryan
These frickers are holding off on Hercules so that they can stretch the Hades franchise as much as possible

>the canonically crippled god in a wheelchaired, with fricked up legs, whose famous for building automatons
>is crippled and in a wheelchair, with a mechanical prosthetic in place of his fricked up leg
Like the only creative choice here that's taking some liberties is how obese he is. But considering how crippled and canonically fricked up he is, it genuinely isn't difficult to imagine that he'd grow fat.
Hephaestus isn't some admirable figure. Especially not as far as his body is concerned.
He is like the gods' punching bag and a canonical cuck.
So yeah. What's the big deal? Are you mad that they did Hephaestus faithfully or are you mad that they featured him at all?
>faithfully
Nice of you to take the Santa Monica cope cop out to why Odin is a sniveling bald israelite and Thor is some fat cuck with a bulging beer gut.
Frick you. I hate God of War. And how is that even equivalent?
Because you hide behind the veil of """""historical accuracy"""""" to excuse your dogshit ugly designs of something already done better before.
>Because you hide behind the veil of """""historical accuracy"""""" to excuse
Oh frick you.
So yeah. Your issue is that they made Hephaestus the cripple loser that he is meant to be. And you wanted them to disregard how he is actually described and depicted in the legends.
Why didn't you just say so?
When will we apply historical accuracy to the Black person gods?
>the Black person gods?
What Black person gods?
None of them look like Black folk. That elysium dude and the broccoli head lady are the only black people.
you hide behind the veil of """""historical accuracy"""""" to push your agenda.
So now we've pivoted 180 degrees and are just actively advocating for ignoring the source material?
That's a plot twist I did not expect. But now that I think about it, maybe I should have.
>Because you hide behind the veil of """""historical accuracy""""""
You argue like a troony. Hopefully you have a nice day one day like them too.
Odin is whatever but drop the disingenuous shit about Thor already
the strongest men in the world have a gut get over it
No I play video games to not be reminded of the fake, gay and ugly world we live in. There was no reason to make Thor an ugly fat homosexual with no shirt.
hit too close to home, Black person?
the world we live in is wonderful and beautiful bro it's not gay or ugly
>No I play video games to not be reminded of the fake, gay and ugly world we live in
That's neat. I don't like defending GoW but not every game is meant to cater to you.
GoW Thor looks like some guy who used to be in peak physical condition but got fat after years of doing nothing but drinking and sitting around. Exactly like he's portrayed as in the game.

I care about trans people as humans but they have been fricked in the head, it is significantly more likely that this is another one of many socially contagious mental illnesses than there being any biological factor, they are just mindfricked and going psycho. of course people are annoyed at having to deal with their shit and have people berate them for not allowing them to tell their kids about how they might also be like them if they have anything but the most typical gender expression during development, even pre-puberty. You have to be a selfish piece of shit to try to spread it and they deserve to be told to frick off and die when they try, despite how pathetic they are.

How do these moronic leftoids mental gymnist this shit? They really fricking think some magical wheelchair in a setting were healing magic exists would be something useful and practical.
If blind monks and blind samurai exist why wheelchair don't?
Because unlocking a sixth sense makes more sense than a fricking wheelchair existing in settings where stairs and ladders were the main way to get to high ground.
>a fricking wheelchair existing in settings where stairs and ladders were the main way to get to high ground.
anyone using one in this kind of setting knows that and probably has some capability to still handle it anyway.
they have serious upper body strength, or magic, or neat little inventions to help them out.
You are imaginatively bankrupt if in a world of magic and hero’s rising though adversity you see a wheel chair bound character as something that doesn’t fit.
>you weren't playing a person
No fricking shit, it's a role-playing game
They are playing a role
If they want their character to be crippled, then it's a core aspect of the role
They're not real fricking people dipshit
if being crippled is a "core aspect" of a role then you don't know shit about characterization. What a character looks like, their actions, inner thoughts, reactions, and speech.are all core aspects of a role.
>if being crippled is a "core aspect" of a role then you don't know shit about characterization
Literally in the next sentence
>What a character looks like, their actions
Guess how being crippled might change those two things!
it would change absolutely nothing if you knew what you were talking about
>being crippled would change the way you look and the actions you take which you already admitted are core aspects of characterization
>nuh uh
Riveting
To be fair, having Hephaestus cured of his gimp legs would ruin him because that's literally a foundational part of his character. He's ugly, he's lame, and he's either despised or looked down upon by almost every other god in the pantheon, despite being the guy who makes all their cool stuff.
disabilities shape development
If he has
>serious upper body strength, or magic, or neat little inventions to help them out.
Then why the frick does he need the wheelchair?
Because it was a fun project and it's fun to zoom around the workshop.
anon thats the fricking point
in a world where all of that is possible, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A MODERN WHEELCHAIR?
Why can't it be a mount?
Why can't it be any other kind of magical seat?
Why can't it be an enchanted set of armor that lets you walk?
Why can't it be magic peglegs or some shit?
Why can't it be actually functioning legs because (in most settings) YOU CAN PAY SOMEONE TO BRING SOMEONE BACK FROM THE DEAD
trying to force all of these possible answers to the question of "legs don't work, how do adventure" into a wheelchair is why people find it ridiculous, and virtue signaling of the highest order since its clear whatever suit thought it up in some WotC diversity meeting hasn't had anything resembling an original thought in their lives, but pushed it through regardless
its so inorganic that its honest to god poisoned the idea of wheelchairs in a setting with the slightest hint of magic in it, now you have threads like these popping up whenever anything like a wheelchair appears
It's ridiculous, deserving of ridicule, plain and simple
>WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A MODERN WHEELCHAIR
Does it look like a modern wheelchair though?
What modern wheelchairs look like that?
I'll grant you that its made of wood whereas actual wheelchairs are usually metal, but every time these magic wheelchairs are brought up its almost always in the same shape as a modern wheelchair of
>two big wheels
>two little wheels
>foot rest
>high back
>arm rests
>able to be pushed
granted, maybe this is simply a practical and self evident design but I return to my second objection
why can't it be any other kind of seat, magical or otherwise?
where are the litters or wagons, or even chariots and thrones?
where are the gigahomie mages flexing their arcane might and floating their un-wheeled chairs into battle with but a thought?
why does it have to be two big wheels and two small wheels?
has there never been a crippled third son of a mage that got/made a shitty chair with four little or big wheels because he thought it should match and he didn't know better?
this is what I mean anon, it doesn't HAVE to be a modern wheelchair, but whenever they appear its almost always in that shape
Too many question that all have the same answer
>>two big wheels
>>two little wheels
>>foot rest
>>high back
>>arm rests
>>able to be pushed
>granted, maybe this is simply a practical and self evident design but I return to my second objection
But outside of two big wheels. We can't see shit about what his wheelchair looks like. Because we barely get to see it with the angle of the image and the text box in front.
Yeah, it just requires some creativity. Like Astragoth.
>Instead of just being a boring paraplegic, his limbs are turning to stone, which is flavourful for a fantasy setting
>Instead of using a modern wheelchair, he uses a steam-powered exoskeleton, which evokes Chaos Dwarfs' mastery over machining combined with their willingness to do anything to themselves to further their cause
>It has purpose for his character - all Chaos Dwarf sorcerors eventually turn to stone, but by finding a way around it he's been able to remain active far longer than any other, which both causes resentment from other Chorfs who want his old ass gone and also makes him more dangerous because his age grants him experience and magical power beyond any other Chorf
>It has gameplay implications because the hydraulic limbs are actually superior to his old flesh ones, letting him stand taller than any other Chorf and zip around as fast as a horse without getting tired
This is how you make a cool fantasy cripple.
I'm pretty sure, like 80% sure, old Hephaestus had automaton servants who would carry him and his tools around. This wasn't gleaned from old art like
which again, is pure speculation from the fact there's a wheel on it. It was actually stated that he had mechanical helpers who did almost everything for him that didn't involve the actual smithing.
Because the lack of legs equivalent would be moving around with your arms like a gorilla, not a wheelchair.
Which to be fair, actually sounds cool now that I say it out loud.
Meanwhile the blind equivalent of a wheelchair is one of those dogs or a literal stick, which is uncool when blind monks are literally developing supernatural powers from their lack of functioning eyes.
They just think it looks cool, to them
It's fricking stupid and they should be mocked and bullied into suicide for ever thinking anyone would want their moronic idea.
why do leftists have such awful taste?
Some do, some don't.
way to dance around the question, why even waste your time with this shit? you really want me to fricking clarify my question or just argue with your irrelevant comment? you people are so repulsively stupid.
Some leftists are stupid some aren't

Why are you so angry?
because half of this board are trannies, frick all of you for allowing this to happen. it's literally over.
Hello.
doesn't answer your question, it rejects its faulty premise of leftists inherently having shit taste and instead stating that shit taste is independent of political leanings. Case in point
was drawn by a turbo woke leftie and is a completely different way of handling a character with a walking disability. Some others think wheelchairs are cool and would rather focus their concepts on those instead.
what a novel revelation. what was the point of you repeating what he said in more words? do you look up to him or something?
You said it was a waste of time. It was, in fact, a refutation of your claim and not a waste a time.

Hephaestus is primarily depicted in one of two ways.
1. Lame from birth.
or
2. Crippled from falling from being thrown from the skies and crashing into the earth below.
But in both kinds of depictions. His legs are fricked.
Yes he is lame.
Who ever denied that?
The anon denied that Hephaestus is a full cripple.
And I replied that Hephaestus being a full cripple is actually one of the predominate depictions.
Yes.
Totally
In the "God of War" series, Hephaestus is indeed depicted as a significant character. In "God of War III," he is portrayed as a skilled blacksmith and craftsman, known for creating powerful weapons and artifacts for the gods. While he is not explicitly shown using a wheelchair, he does have a physical deformity, often depicted as a twisted leg or limp, which aligns with traditional representations of Hephaestus in Greek mythology.
Despite his physical disability, Hephaestus is portrayed as a formidable and influential figure in the game, contributing to the protagonist Kratos's journey through his creations and guidance. His inclusion adds depth to the game's narrative and mythology, showcasing themes of resilience, ingenuity, and the complexities of divine relationships.
Overall, the depiction of Hephaestus in "God of War" is one example of how video games can explore and reinterpret traditional mythological characters while incorporating elements of disability and diversity into their narratives.
Thanks chat gpt

Haha go woke go broke! am I right fellow gamers?
I'd much rather they make a Pyre sequel instead of a Hades sequel.
I would rather they make a sequel to literally any of their other games than Hades, the gameplay was pretty bland and the music and story were both a huge step back
I am greedy. But I want both.
But let them make something original in-between.
But Pyre is my favourite game of theirs. But I still super love Hades.
Nahh

Stock markets are no indication of a company's actual worth. Disney lost 100s of millions of dollars last year.

ESG is definitely moronic, but don't they give out money to corporations for doing leftie horse shit? It's essentially free money, albeit if it pisses off your audience/consumers they won't buy whatever you're selling making it a moot point.

Wait why are you using electric cars as antiwoke? Isnt that pro lefty thing since its electric its supposedly eco friendly? Apologies but my chart on the culture war is mixed, does twitter man bad outrank electric car good?
Also why the frick do people on boths sides use individual stock shares as proof of "their side" winning instead of fricking company total worth? 1000 shares at $1 is a more valuable company than 10 shares existing at $10.
The theory is based on there being a ''anti-woke majority'', these people spend all their time living inside echo chambers that reflect all their most controversial opinions so you can see why they would think that way.
Obviously inclusion has translated time and time again to higher sales numbers and it will continue to do so.

>How many copies of mw2 have been sold?

The portrayal of characters in video games, including their physical attributes and abilities, can vary widely depending on the game's design, themes, and artistic choices. In "Hades," the characters are often depicted with diverse backgrounds, personalities, and physical characteristics, which can contribute to the richness of the game's world and storytelling.
While some players may appreciate the representation of characters with disabilities, obesity, or other unique traits as a form of inclusivity and diversity, others may have different perspectives on how these elements are portrayed. It's essential to consider individual viewpoints and interpretations when discussing the depiction of characters in games.
Ultimately, whether a game is considered "woke" or not depends on individual perspectives and values, and it's up to each player to decide how they feel about the representation of characters and themes in the game.
Haesphastus/Vulcan walks with a limp, he did not use a wheelchair.
You're correct; Hephaestus (or Vulcan in Roman mythology) is traditionally depicted as walking with a limp due to being disabled, often using a cane or other assistive device. Thank you for clarifying. Hephaestus is indeed an iconic figure in Greek mythology, known as the god of fire, blacksmiths, craftsmen, and artisans. His physical disability is an essential aspect of his character, emphasizing themes of resilience, creativity, and adaptation.
In "Hades," Hephaestus is represented as a key character, contributing to the game's rich mythology and lore. While his depiction may differ from traditional portrayals in some aspects, his inclusion adds depth and complexity to the game's world and characters.

"Hades," developed by Supergiant Games, offers a unique interpretation of Greek mythology, blending traditional elements with modern storytelling and artistic style. While the game draws inspiration from Greek mythology and features many recognizable gods, heroes, and creatures, it also takes creative liberties and introduces original characters and narrative twists.
In terms of accuracy, "Hades" captures the essence of Greek mythology by incorporating key themes, characters, and stories from ancient Greek culture. However, it also takes creative liberties to adapt and reinterpret these elements to fit the game's narrative and gameplay mechanics. This may involve reimagining certain characters' personalities or roles, introducing new storylines or relationships, or adapting mythological events to suit the game's pacing and structure.
Overall, while "Hades" may not adhere strictly to the details of Greek mythology, it provides an engaging and immersive experience that captures the spirit and themes of the ancient tales. It offers players a chance to explore a vibrant world filled with iconic figures from Greek mythology while experiencing a fresh and original story-driven gameplay experience.

>Artemis is a Black person

>selene is a Black person
In "Hades," Artemis is indeed depicted with dark skin, which reflects a creative choice made by the developers at Supergiant Games. The game offers a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique visual design, personality, and background. While traditional depictions of Artemis in ancient Greek art often portray her with fair or pale skin, "Hades" reimagines her appearance with darker skin to reflect the game's diverse and inclusive approach to character design.
Representation in media, including video games, is evolving to better reflect the diversity of real-world cultures and experiences. By depicting Artemis with dark skin, "Hades" contributes to this broader trend of inclusivity and representation in storytelling, offering players a more diverse and varied cast of characters to engage with.
Ultimately, the portrayal of Artemis as black in "Hades" is a creative choice by the developers, aimed at providing a fresh and unique interpretation of the character while promoting diversity and representation in the game's world.
So when are we getting a make everyone white mod?
In ancient Greece, the population was diverse, and people's appearances varied widely. While the ancient Greeks are often depicted with fair or light skin in classical art and literature, it's essential to recognize that ancient Greek society was not homogenous, and there was likely a range of skin tones among the population.
Historically, Greece has been a crossroads of different cultures and civilizations, with influences from neighboring regions such as the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, and North Africa. As a result, ancient Greeks would have interacted with people of various ethnic backgrounds, leading to diversity in physical appearances.
Additionally, the depiction of Greeks as uniformly white or fair-skinned is often influenced by modern interpretations and artistic conventions rather than historical accuracy. Ancient Greek art, for example, often depicted figures with idealized proportions and features, which may not accurately reflect the diversity of the population.
It's essential to approach historical and mythological interpretations with an understanding of the complexities of ancient societies and the limitations of our modern perspectives. Embracing diversity and inclusivity in representations of ancient cultures allows for a more nuanced and accurate understanding of history and mythology.
If I had a nickle for every brown moon goddess..
I wonder how people will react if the game makes a reference to Aphrodite being unfaithful and favouring other men over Hephaestus.

Well guess what I'm black and I appreciate variety in my games. Dark skin appeals to me and that's what the game devs accomplished by race swapping a few Greek gods.

starting to think indians are the one who made this meme, aren't they into cuck shit?
i wouldnt know, ask your inbred siblings, currymunching sandBlack person
keep showing everybody how mad and impotent you are
keep getting used as a wienersleeve by your father and uncles and shot dead by us marines, paki
no and then
>Anybody that disagrees with me is a troony
I bet you'd never say this to someone irl if they disagreed with you. You people are just fricking stupid and you make the right look like schizos. Form better arguments.
>this site expanding beyond anime was the biggest mistake in U.S. history
Nah, it was letting brown people have access to the internet.
You admit you want a echo chamber lol
>lefty making a disingenuous argument
ignored!
I'm not a leftist. I'm a rightist that gets annoyed when you people make us look bad.
So you're an unwitting traitor.
And you're a giant pussy b***h that whines about video games like he's getting paid for it.
Calm the frick down its not the end of the fricking world you'll eventually get a game made for you it's inevitable whatever the frick you like will be made.
just frick off man, I don't buy it
>rightist
Kys I'm embarrassed I came to this thread to troll it. Just die in a fire homosexual holy shit.
How about you sir get better arguments that we haven't heard for 10 years now
lol totally organic, sis
all me btw
Holy fricking based samegay ruining a hades thread with some unbelievable trolling.
Nice work
>trolling
you might be the dumbest one in the thread
Kek good one. Play dumb and samegay. You've done a good job ruining this thread.
what you've done is trolling. you brought up a shitton of board politics to.. complain about contemporary politics on the board. Good job, butthole.
idk if you meant it or not but if you didn't then you're even dumber than he is. like picture screaming about /misc/ unprompted and thinking this will make the thread better.
literally the OP is about politics so just shut the frick up, what you've posted is meaningless
>literally the OP is about politics
>cripple god (the original wasn't a cripple) is political
congrats, you're the dumbest motherfricker in this thread. tell us, how is this /misc/'s fault? I'm sure you'll tell me.
you literally brought up /misc/ and race politics, like right here
>Ina bunch over fictional video game Characters having a skin tone he doesn't like.
Which the OP doesn't mention at all.
I'm not convinced this also isn't part of your trolling. Again, nice work. You should be in every Hades thread until this game is pushed off the board.
The fact you don't see how ironic this i kinda post is real funny.
>let me ruin everything, stop complaining!!
No.
You are not going to to anything anon
You are already complacent but refuses to admit
Why do people keep seeing Dark skinned caucasoids and calling them Black?
Stop thinking about black people all the damn time
>if they didn't raceswap
What races are they?
Half the gods don't even have human skin. Ares has black skin but he does not have black features.
Who was race swapped?
>Who was race swapped?
>Ares has black skin
you people don't deserve this easy job. how much do you make?
Ok. But what race is Ares? He doesn't look African.
I asked a question.
>I asked a question.
shut the frick up, moron. jesus christ how uppity can you get.
not him but surely you can say what race ares was and what race he was swapped too right lmao (I was paid two dollars to post this btw)
Ok. So you're just mad that Ares has black skin. Not that he was race swapped. Why didn't you just say so then?
This man is white, he doesn't have black features
>doesn't have black features
Even ignoring everything else. Did you even look at his hair?
Curly hair? Never existed, all greeks had straight blonde hair.
>he doesnt have black features
>aside from being black
Okinawan with a tan
that is absolutely not the same skin color as a tanned okinawan what are you waffling about
for someone who probably spends all day larping on a tranime site you think you'd know what japanese people look like
>afro
>big lside lips
>wide nose
you are right thats one of the least Black person looking Black folk which means he is handsome but he is still clearly a Black person
that's between me and hillary
They were made up by the Greeks so they sure as frick weren't Africans, you disingenuous c**t.
it's going to be impossible to talk about this game for years
>Make a God of Sex
>Not a shapeshifter
Could have got easy LGBT coins
I mean, they never broached the subject of Poseidon, Athena, and Medusa in the first game.
the people who sperg out about this stuff don't care about men cheating on women
You can find people to sperg about anything.
The game's approach to Medusa and the gorgons to begin with was kind of well. Distant.
Medusa is an important side character you can have a fake-out romance with. Gorgons are an enemy type.
Well yeah. But they never really touch on Medusa's story. The related myths and legends. And only just barely touches on Dusa's relationship with the gods.
That's why I called it distant.
Like she is there. But you know. Yeah.
I've never played this game but let me guess. Ares is black?
Nah, homie is white, can't you tell by his facepaint?
That's my first time ever seeing him. But that's who she routinely is sleeping with in the actual mythology.
it's really funny now, because the actual in-game effects make everyone a blobby mess, but it's really fricking funny how he even looks like a literal thug
like are they DEI slopping with zero self awareness?
Ares is black in the literal sense, he is carbon color its kinda cool, he is not a Black person, Black person he doesnt have big fish lips or nappy hair or a flat wide chimp nose.
Aphrodite and Ares as depicted from 5 BC in the National Archaeological Museum of Tarquinia.
Its amazing how you can guess it.
>unfaithful relationship
>its a Black person isnt it
>well you see in our efforts to be inclusive and diverse
Its a Black person.

Man, Floyd had beautiful lips, what an angel. I miss him so much, so sad he's gone bros...
>Sequel comes out and ruins everything the hero accomplished in the first game
Why does every liberal writer use this plot point.
because it's kino
This isnt what the story is you dumbass. its about the titan chronos taking over hades (place) and imprisoning Hades, Persephone, and Zagreus. you're trying to break in to save them.
comes out and ruins everything the hero accomplished in the first game
How does Hades 2 do this?
did he have to amputate his legs because of the beetus?
>Ganker plays modern games
this is an 18+ board. Act your age and play some old games
Hr was always crippled, dumbass, though would’ve preferred the version where he carried by two golden robots instead.
>now
Get a grip anon hades has always been woke with that art design and aesthetics what took you this long to notice
You know the Greek gods weren't supposed to be infallible beings like the Abrahamic gods, right?
>3 paragraph ChatGPT response from a bot forcing interaction
so thats why he is a Black person fat frick and bound to a wheel chair lol yeah totally organic decision not motivated by political ideology at all
Jesus is literally invincible. Cope all you want pagancuck
jesus jobs to goku
ummmmm source???
>man whose real big thing is dying
>invincible
Wrong.
Jesus was presumed dead, went into Hell to frick shit up for 3 days, pulls his boys out, btfo everyone forever when they find out he is above death. What's not to get? Christ defeated death by death lil anon
t.
You can tell a person's personality and overall education level from their interpretation of greek mythology. It's more accurate than both astrology and IQ
>fanfic knowledge is important in any way
just how much time did you waste learning about this shit
>just how much time did you waste learning about this shit
homie just read hesiod
sorry bro, I'm just not into fanfiction
>Even more literal propaganda pushing.
Reminder.
Why would he care about earnings?
Because that's the entire fricking point? Do you genuinely think these people care about making the world a better or worse place? They do bad things because they think it will net them more money and power. If that isn't working out then of course he's going to start kvetching.
Is this all you people care about?
You guys polluted this board so much with the games you hate, you spend so much time promoting shit that triggers you, that you're missing out on the actual good ones.
Do you enjoy living like this?
Absolutely nothing wrong with defending yourself and the wider civilization. If they didn't want a culture war, they shouldn't have gone on a cultural offensive.
>defending yourself and wider civilization
holy fricking shit, do Black folk really think theyre doing this when they go on a thread and post the troon hanging gif?
You do know that disabled people have had a ton of representation in like most of the post millennium right? Or did a dude in a wheelchair kick your ass at some point so you're holding a grudge against them?
If it's a culture war then you're losing it badly, and nobody wants to be on the losing side.
I'm talking about exposure. Instead of promoting games you like you boost the games you hate, and google's algorythm doesn't care if you hate it, only cares about the mentions.
By talking about those games you claim to be SJW, you are actively promoting them.
Now name 10 anti-woke games. I dare you. You can't ,because you're a cuck addicted to outrage. They exist, though.
Alex Jones: NWO Wars
Even conservatives are too embarrassed to mention that slop lmao
>They exist, though
Not in any serious capacity, that entire side of the culture war abandoned modern art completely like 20 years ago so now all they can really do is seethe impotently
lol lmao mindbroken cuck lurk more you outrage addicted troony.
Maybe if you didn't spend so much time jerking off to SJW outrage you would've known some BASED games. You Cuck
sneed
Your concession is accepted
Anyone else remember the good times when Ganker wasnt about troonposting and people actually talked about video games?
It's been so long those memories are fading away like tears in rain.
Tell devs to stop pushing as much homosexualry as possible into every game and we might actually have decent threads
youre part of the problem Black person
But hephaestus is canonically crippled and ugly, isn't him building his own prosthetic actually cool?
Hephaestus building robot men is ok. But Hephaestus building robot legs for himself is too far.
Actual revisionist propaganda, stop being such a fricking moron
It's an artistic expression that doesn't claim to be historically accurate.
Why don't rightoids make their own games?
Why did my wife Hera toss Hephaestus off Mt Olympus again? Was he one of Zeus' many, many kids from another woman? Hera's entire mythology is just getting assmad at Zeus and punishing women/kids instead since she can't do shit to Zeus.
I just noticed he has a robot leg and a wheelchair. Fat frick can probably walk, but prefers a mobility scooter instead like an American in Walmart.
remember when you lads used to pretend you weren't easily triggered snowflakes
>gamergate guzzling cretin /misc/tards
also degenerate trump-loving nazi chuds with no media literacy
guzzling cretin /misc/tards
Meli dicky!
Kek welp off the wishlist after all. Nothing of value was lost really. The first one was ok, never actually beat it.
>chuds mad about a god in a wheelchair
>mfw it is consistent with the actual scripture
It's interesting how the threads all started by shitting on Hephaestus's depiction. And now they've instead shifted to just shitting on Hades and the Supergiant devs broadly. Ignoring how the depiction wasn't an issue.
> Ignoring how the depiction wasn't an issue.
It is an issue though, see
People aren't changing their opinions, you're just moving goalposts.
>see
Yeah, it just requires some creativity. Like Astragoth.
>Instead of just being a boring paraplegic, his limbs are turning to stone, which is flavourful for a fantasy setting
>Instead of using a modern wheelchair, he uses a steam-powered exoskeleton, which evokes Chaos Dwarfs' mastery over machining combined with their willingness to do anything to themselves to further their cause
>It has purpose for his character - all Chaos Dwarf sorcerors eventually turn to stone, but by finding a way around it he's been able to remain active far longer than any other, which both causes resentment from other Chorfs who want his old ass gone and also makes him more dangerous because his age grants him experience and magical power beyond any other Chorf
>It has gameplay implications because the hydraulic limbs are actually superior to his old flesh ones, letting him stand taller than any other Chorf and zip around as fast as a horse without getting tired
This is how you make a cool fantasy cripple.
Yeah. And
says
of using a modern wheelchair
Is there like some art of the dude and his chair from some press release or something? Because in the technical test we can barely even see it. What about it is so much like a modern wheelchair?
There's literally a picture in the OP
>There's literally a picture in the OP
And how much of the wheelchair can you see?
You can see half a wheel and what is presumably a corner of a chair back.
I don't care about this gay political shit, I just want to play videogames lol.
maybe you should stay in this thread and keep posting, since it obviously has nothing to do with your interests.
I thought it was about Hades, but it was just gay shit.
did you not read the title, newbie?
Hades has always been shitdes
Isn't that one supposed to be ugly and crippled, really he should look more deformed
Hades 2 could have character cutscenes with all the male gods fricking one another and it would completely consistent with what is written about them since they're all hedonistic homosexuals and i hope it happens
> Terrible dev releases shitty ass game that is poorly designed, looks like shit, plays like shit, all the characters and story are shit, filled with woke shit.
> Gankertards realizes game is trash many years later, because the sequel has a black fat God.
You never disappoint me guys.
what were you expecting when the first one had gays and POCs? at this point you're just doing this to yourself
Man, white people mythology is really fricking lame and gay these days.
Vikings are lame and gay now, Greek shit was always gay, but now it's lame and doesn't even have any of the fun rape or bestiality, Romans are all gay as shit, it's so fricking lame.
that's because you like pop culture not actual mythology
And what pop culture is that exactly?
Last I checked it was all white pop culture that's made all your myths into lame, gay, boring dogshit.
you like your childhood pop culture and not actual archeology, paleontology, anthropology or ancient people pop culture.
and thats OK but your past is your past and the ancient past is the ancient past is the ancient and that's is no going to chance until you get dementia
Did you have a stroke while typing this?
