probably yeah, but i'll buy it on sale after it leaves early access, just like i did the first one. It's so bizarre to me that people now pay money to participate in beta testing for companies.
If you can't make her straight, it's gonna piss off most people. People didn't like making Achilies gay, making her a lesbian is gonna completely piss off everyone besides yurigays.
Just like Zagreus, she'll have a male love interest (whose identity is still a mystery to me) and a female love interest (almost certainly Nemesis), and you'll likely be able to pursue one, both or neither romantically.
Well, that would be incest, kind of, as she's his stepmother.
Unlike Thanatos, who is Nyx's son and therefore his stepbrother, or Meg, who is Nyx's daughter and therefore his stepsister.
It's just different, okay.
Some of the weapon variants in the first game draw from the power of figures outside the Greek pantheon - King Arthur, Guan Yu, Beowulf, Rama, Gilgamesh, and Lucifer.
Yea, you didn’t think I’d drop it for some superficial reason did you? I don’t give a shit what Athena looks like when she gives some of the best bonuses.
It was already hard to talk about the first one with the weird skin tones that journos loved to interpret as real ethnicities and not just a stylized art direction, but this one has a female main character and it's almost certain she'll be able to hook up with a woman at some point.
So yeah, this is culture war catnip. Ganker will be absolutely incapable of having a thread about it when it comes out.
>It was already hard to talk about the first one with the weird skin tones that journos loved to interpret as real ethnicities
Of course there's no way that the devs designed their characters specifically to appeal to that audience.
There's no way they would have included a gay romance just to bait a certain audience into giving their game free publicity.
They would never do that.
It was just journos *misinterpreting* the game.
I didnt know that some gods where supposed to be Black folk in the first game until well after I was done playing it. I just thought thw characters with different skin tones was just a weird fantasy thing like how Shiva is blue, especially because of the weird color palette a lot of the darker characters look more like they have weird grey skin than brown. Also Artemis literally has green skin.
Yes actually the skin is brown but it's also grayish and the artstyle does weird shit with colors so I thought nothing of it.
Like now that I know, I see that shes a Black person and it's obvious but there's all sorts of weird fantasy colored weirdos like Artemis being green and Athena being a grey alien makes more sense than her being a Black person so its what my brain defaulted to.
He ticks a lot of the DEI checkboxes, all they need to do is make him a homosexual and they've got a goldmine for easy ESG shekels with just one character.
doubtful. i had more than enough hades with the first game, and this one doesn't seem to shake up the formula enough to draw my interest.
if i haven't had the urge to play hades since 2020 i can't imagine i'd enjoy hades 1.5.
>>all whites are villains
Are you just shitposting now?
perhaps take your medications
AI slop?
No, official art
Embarassing
I NEED APHRODITE TO BE
BLACKED
BY
ARES
THE GOD OF WAR
Ares is white, he's just painted black.
>he is white but painted black
so he is black and cucks the wheel chair gy
Someone should ask the devs to clarify whether it's just paint or their original skin color.
he looks more like he uses a lot of spray tan with a blindfold on
aphrodite has the same blindfold tan line
No I had enough of the gameplay with the first.
Whos the fat bsstard?
well frick they somehow made aphrodite hotter
frick
Why is everything SO UGLY??
homosexual game
I really like Hephaestus's design
is the second game any better or same old shit?
the new protagonist is some ugly girlboss b***h so its already worse than the first game
Aphrodite now looks too androgynous. Incoming slop.
Why do they look like hindu deities?
As long as it's like Hades 1 then yes.
>Greek gods are not Greek.
Lol.
Lmao, even.
>Greek gods are no longer Greek
What does this opinion article have to do with anything?
The Geek gods are Greek, there are no black or white characters in Hades, just Greeks
Next up, german Ra, scandinavian Anansi, slavic Krishna, I'm sure they will celebrate that diversity of other cultures' mythologies equally
probably yeah, but i'll buy it on sale after it leaves early access, just like i did the first one. It's so bizarre to me that people now pay money to participate in beta testing for companies.
>female god
>the god of sex
why are they so bigoted
why can't she be the god of science and rationality?
>God of atheism
anon, they already have a god of science and rationality, and it's also a woman, that's literally Athena.
The first game was good
The second is bound to be too
trannies will be upset by this statement
>trannies upset that a troony game is good
u wot
Is this what is known as the tumblr artstyle?
No, but I feel it is on its way to being a new one.
Kinda, it's one of those rare tumblr artists that were complete garbage, but still pozzed as frick
*weren't
Probably will pirate it because I've been chasing the magic Bastion had ever since, but it just isn't there
Who is top left?
>Roguelike
Not unless it's gifted.
Which ones are these?
Is bottom right Hephaestus?
Any new pictures of Nemesis?
selene, personification of the moon, demeter, aphrodite, hephaestus
Demeter looks on the warpath compared to the first game. Is she going to be a villain or something?
the premise is that olympus is at war with cronos, which is why a lot of the gods like demeter and aphrodite are more warlike than in the last game
most of them are since they band together to fight against a common bad guy now
i still hate that they fused chronos and cronus
I am not being negative but I think this is a big downgrade from his hades 1 art
The ones in the OP picture look great and Aphrodite is a straight upgrade, but yeah, Zeus looks like he was rushed.
it looks unfinished yeah, we're still pre early access and the artists are known to take their time
nah
Meli dicky!
I will now buy your game.
built for babymaking sex in mating press position
CUTE CUTE CUTE
jesus christ how horrifying.
If you can't make her straight, it's gonna piss off most people. People didn't like making Achilies gay, making her a lesbian is gonna completely piss off everyone besides yurigays.
the new protag is 100% guaranteed to be a raging bulldyke
Just like Zagreus, she'll have a male love interest (whose identity is still a mystery to me) and a female love interest (almost certainly Nemesis), and you'll likely be able to pursue one, both or neither romantically.
>Zag couldn't romance Nyx
Why are the devs such massive homosexuals?
Well, that would be incest, kind of, as she's his stepmother.
Unlike Thanatos, who is Nyx's son and therefore his stepbrother, or Meg, who is Nyx's daughter and therefore his stepsister.
It's just different, okay.
>Stepmother
Yikes, good idea to not waste valuable romance options.
I liked how they handled gay Achilles. And this is from someone who thinks Achilles was 100% straight in canon sources.
you guys playing the demo?
aren't the dual dagger thingies just bad compared to the staff?
nobody here cares about the game
thats my impression as well. dual daggers feels worse to use than zag's sword. the staff is decent feeling but zag still feels better to play imo.
Didn't know there was a demo.
>playtest
>you need to sign up and maybe get an invite to join
Nah, I'm good. I'll wait for the EA.
what are the chances they throw non greeco-roman centric dieties in there? Do they have the ball to do that?
Some of the weapon variants in the first game draw from the power of figures outside the Greek pantheon - King Arthur, Guan Yu, Beowulf, Rama, Gilgamesh, and Lucifer.
First one was fun so why not?
Yea, you didn’t think I’d drop it for some superficial reason did you? I don’t give a shit what Athena looks like when she gives some of the best bonuses.
I’d frick all of them
gay
It's going to be impossible to talk about this game, isn't it?
You can always go back to plebbit/twatter/resetera for your daily echochamber circlejerk.
It was already hard to talk about the first one with the weird skin tones that journos loved to interpret as real ethnicities and not just a stylized art direction, but this one has a female main character and it's almost certain she'll be able to hook up with a woman at some point.
So yeah, this is culture war catnip. Ganker will be absolutely incapable of having a thread about it when it comes out.
Is this just a trading card game? Is it going to have 3 models, ? Concept arts means very little
no dusa no buy
It has an LGBTQ art style, so no.

You saw this
and thought, that isn't a black person, it's like some kind of weird alien or something.
Give me a fricking break.
Yes actually the skin is brown but it's also grayish and the artstyle does weird shit with colors so I thought nothing of it.
Like now that I know, I see that shes a Black person and it's obvious but there's all sorts of weird fantasy colored weirdos like Artemis being green and Athena being a grey alien makes more sense than her being a Black person so its what my brain defaulted to.
>Bastion
>Transistor
>whatever the frick that sportsball game was
>Hades
>Hades 2
homosexuals. Studio is dead.
>list games they made that were all critically acclaimed
>this means they are dead
???
When will they make something not isometric
Pyre isn't isometric.
But all of those games were a success?
He ticks a lot of the DEI checkboxes, all they need to do is make him a homosexual and they've got a goldmine for easy ESG shekels with just one character.
I really hope there are more than 4 bosses and 4 areas this time.
I rather have 4 good bosses than eight bad ones
Nah, first one was boring
I'm not giving money to westerners
doubtful. i had more than enough hades with the first game, and this one doesn't seem to shake up the formula enough to draw my interest.
if i haven't had the urge to play hades since 2020 i can't imagine i'd enjoy hades 1.5.
I'll have it on my backlog for God knows how many years before I play it and have some fun with it, much like the first one.
