I’m curious if they improved the builds. Coming from Isaac I was not so hot on Hades if I’m gonna be honest. Got burned out fairly quickly after not even 40 hours because it was very repetitive and I never felt like I could really build towards anything during the runs, while the story seemed to crawl to a halt as well.
How long did you play BoI for if getting burned out on Hades after 40hrs was fairly quick?
Not OP, but I have over 500 hours in a couple roguelikes and over a thousand in Slay The Spire. Depends on how good the game is at providing different experiences.
I’m starting to question my life a lot. I’ve played over 4k hours of BoI since the first version. I remember when people warned about WoW before I really gamed and how people were sinking their whole lives into it and I was like, “wow, can’t imagine, that’s crazy,” and now I’m those people. I should go outside.
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Just be sure you’re enjoying it and not actually suffering from anxiety and depression.
I have 95 hours in basic Isaac and 235 hours in Rebirth (And I know that’s also on the lower end of things for quite a few other Isaac players). I’ve not played Afterbirth+, let alone Repentance, since by the time I already kinda was so out of the game that I didn’t want to re-learn it, but if I did that would likely add quite a few more hours onto it.
I’m usually a patient gamer type. I think I got Hades in 2022 or 2023 on discount. I’ve also never purchased an early access game. But I’m seriously considering this one.
Main thing holding me back is that I just don’t get to play games very much this time of year, and I probably won’t have much time again until Fall.
If you really don’t have much time to game, I’d still say try to wait. It’ll be more fleshed out later on and perhaps out of EA(?).
Solid point. But I want it now. I guess I’m still holding out hope that I might have some time to play while I’m traveling in the next month or so.
Does the early access stuff sometimes stop being available? Like if I don’t buy it soon, is it something that might go away until they’re ready to do a full release?
I’m not aware of that happening, but I can’t say for sure. Typically the games stay Early Access until they announce the official release.
Supergiant is possibly the only company I would say do it for. All of their games are well polished and complete. They don’t believe in dlc which is great. I’m someone that is still waiting for Spiderman 2 to go on discount before I buy it. Last full price game I bought was Hades surprisingly enough.
You’re such an enabler. I love it! Stop enabling me.
I know I’m not necessarily representative of the average gamer, but Hades is and was one of my favorite modern games. I feel like it’s almost pointless to not buy this game as soon as I can, even if I don’t have time to play it right this moment. Have you played it already at this point, and if so, what are your impressions?
I bought the game and played for roughly 3 hours. If you’ve seen their stream from the technical test, I got roughly as far in the meta-game as they did, but run-wise I got somewhere ~the middle of the third act. Right now I can see at least ~3-5 hours of unlockables I need to get resources for (and more is revealed after more runs/unlocks), and I haven’t tried most new boons yet.
It’s really good. There are three things I’ve noticed are missing (animations for one interactable in the hub world, portraits for 2 characters further in). Aside from that it feels similar quality-wise to the first game, which I last played a week ago, so it’s still fresh in my mind.
I’m sure new content will get slower soon and halt in a couple of hours, but wow is it polished already. There’s also an indication of a lot of additional content coming in the future, but that will have to wait for further patches.
If you don’t have much time to spare I would recommend to wait a little more. It would still be a big support if you buy it at full price in fall.
Played it in the technical test and it ran really well and ofc, still oozing that Hades charm with every character
Whelp, this decided my evening plans for me!
Should be fun!
Death to Chronos!
Would love to play it, but the first one caused a major tendonitis flare up - I shouldn’t risk it. The Poseidon dash boon was just too good, but that always meant a full 30 minute run of just hammering one button.
With fully mapable controls on the deck I hope to avoid this, but as I get older I find myself needing more and more assistance XD
Oh I loved Hades so I’ll be getting this very soon. Maybe once I’m done with Sekiro this will be the next I’ll play.
At this point I’ll never finish Nier Replicant…
