Played Hades 2 a lot when it went early access. Did not like the weapons back then, mainly used whirlwind axe. Not sure how much have changed since then.

Beat the Underworld part but the Olympus way was locked halfway through.

It'll probably still be an immediate pick up for me. Didn't play the early access but read some of the feedback. Hoping they listened to some of them. Hades 1 was great.

Hades 2 got a 10/10 from IGN. For whatever the hell that's worth (it is a 10/10 for real). Releases tomorrow
They probably weren't willing to pay IGN for a good review.

IGN gave Star Wars Outlaws a 7/10, Assassins Creed Shadows a 8/10, and Dragon Age Veilguard a 9/10.

I purchased the Hades 2 EA on computer and could never get a controller to work to my liking. Plan was to buy it on Xbox when it launched, but I see it is a timed Nintendo Switch exclusive. I fucking swear...

Yes. Another of the gods is in a wheelchair. There was some other woke stuff too but I forget what it was. IGN was giving it a 10/10 regardless of any gameplay issues the game may have.

Supergiant games is based in SF. I remember seeing a video they did during covid where BLM rioters looted their studio and they said those people probably need the stuff they stole more than they did.

Yeah I feel about the same about Hades 2 players as I do about hypocrites who say shit like this about Borderlands 3

Your goal here is to know this series now sucks and it’s now $0 because no one will be buying it.

then buy Borderlands 4 on release day except at least the Hades 2 players have the excuse of the first Hades being among the best games ever made.

I thik the fall sale starts in 10 days or so, whatever it is.
Yeah but it'll probably only be like 5 or 10 bucks off or something. Are these types of games I typically wait when they're less than $20 or whatever. It's nice being able to spend the price of a full game and get like five games. Not as if I don't have a backlog already.

Looks like shit and it's painfully obvious that it's not being done by Nightdive = hard pass.

Actually, comments on the video say it's being done by Aspyr, so hard pass is an extreme understatement considering the other old games they've butchered.

I recently played through the Gears of War (1)(2016) remaster and had a blast. Then I played the first few levels on the Gears of War Reloaded (2025) remaster, and tbh, the improved textures didn't really do anything for me. It just felt like the same game, and the 2016 textures are good enough for me.

It's almost like once we hit PS4/Xbox One level graphics, there hasn't been much improvement in fidelity since then. Not enough to warrant all these remasters. At least for me.

Well for me I'll see how reviews are. Since it's not FromSoft or Larian it will not be an insta-buy.
