I'm extremely divided with my opinion on Hades II. On the one hand, I'm one of the 7 people that played Pyre and really, REALLY loved it, so when they announced the first Hades and returned to the Bastion/Transistor-like gamepla it felt like a letdown. And Then they announced Hades II and i was, uh. Not very excited, because even if i really loved Hades, it was still more of the same ol formula.
on the other hand they just did a livestream showing the test version of Hades II and it looks incredibly beautiful, the gameplay seems entertaining as Hell and it FUCKS SEVERELY and I love what little we've seen of Hecate and Melinoë, so. I never said I wasn't a hypocrite
"Tenacity in the face of eternal potential failure and even willful corporate interference is not fanatical, but admirable" is a hell of a message to focus the Wile E. Coyote movie on
Murderbot, a construct that was built and used to do extreme violence it's entire existence : I hate talking to people but I will try to resolve this situation peacefully if I can, threats only make people panic and then they take irrational decisions. Extreme violence is sometimes unavoidable but last resort.
ART, a peaceful research transportation : I love talking to people because I can threaten them with extreme violence right off the bat and it makes them do what I want (ads more totally-not-weapons to it's research equipment)
