I played this game a bit, but had to stop due to hand issues. I went back to fully complete it and it's incredible. Top 5 game of all time for me. I don't know if I have all the footage but I end up fully clearing the story and winning on 32 heat.
BTW there was a copyright thing that muted one of the songs. Go listen to "Good Riddance" (Eurydice version) when it plays!
My god you are on FIRE lately
Oh this makes me happy
I love this game and I know carl will not be able to do this one hardcore…
Wait… I thought you finished this game til credits like a WHILE ago. Like a year or two. Was this playthrough recent?
Can I be mad for him making to elysium at second try when it took me A LOT? 😀
Sheesh! Loving the variety!!!!
Damn, this man first tried Megaera (edit: and Lernie too) like that. While I died at least 30 times the first time clearing Tartarus. What a god.
Oh Hades! You're in for a treat!
Edit: Nevermind, you picked Hell mode. That's a terrible mistake (not really, but having NO grace period after being hit gonna be rough, i.e. 1:44:39 you would have been hit once instead of 3 times)
The sound I make when I see Carl has started a new game 1:10:47
My friend was thought Hades was just "pretty good". When I asked him what he thought of the story and he was like idk I just mash through all the dialogue…
I love this game and I am so much looking forward to how you will react to it. Please focus on the game, not the chat, like you did in Tunic. You missed so much stuff back then.
This has been an awesome last few weeks Carl!! Some all time favorite games for me. Tunic and Hades are perfect. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
I have only watched the first ~30 minutes and I'm like WHAT THE F… HE DEFEATED LERNIE ON HIS FIRST TRY ON HIS SECOND RUN!? AND WITH HELL MODE?
Hades is in my top 5 games of all time so this was an absolute treat to see this in my feed. Hope you like this game just as much as I do Carl!
I used to think it was luck that aided Carl in these stressful circumstances but I have realized that after years of hidden blocks and trolls this man is ready for any nonsense you throw at him. Better known as immersion therapy.
You should also try Noita. Very unforgiving rougelike with an insane physics engine and the best spell system of any game I’ve ever played
My number 1 game of all time! So soon after Tunic, my 5th fave game ever. I’m eating good recently 🙂
"i need to do this…" gets killed and then i get a health insurance ad 10/10
Going right in on hell mode is some serious bravery
Only Carl would be surprised that a hydra has lots of heads
"You cant heal", so i played zelda links awakening, started a game a long time ago, didnt finish it, i think i just did a dungeon or 2. Came back a long time after, and all of a sudden i realized no enemies dropped hearts or anything, nothing healed me, it didnt drop any healing hearts. I realized i was playing on hero mode after a while. So i died quite a lot in that game lol. But it was fun. I never played it on normal before.
Try poppy playtime 😅
I REALLY like how snappy this edit is!
This is one of if not my favorite game. It's a gesamtkunstwerk.
I would highly suggest remapping the dodge button to something you can tap even while hitting the attack button. I used a shoulder button, since I'd gotten so used to dodging with it in Bayonetta. Worked out VERY well.
the trick to hades is to go as defensive as you can boon-wise (using aprhodite, athena dash, poseidon call, hp ups) at the start to get a chance to observe and learn patterns, then go as offensive as you can almost all the time once you know how to deal with most things, because the faster you kill stuff, the less damage it can do to you. dash attack into enemies all day long
along that way, power up death defiance, get that extra dash and damage from the mirror and you're golden.
alternatively, you can cheese it with demeter/artemis duo boon (demeter cast lasers track faster and are stronger + demeter boon that causes damage for every 10 frost stacks) lets you just run away while the crystal kills what needs to die, or artemis/zeus, which makes lightning strike where your bloodstone cast is on the map. just circle that bloodstone without collecting and the boss dies by itself.
great content, made me go back and play hades again
I know chat likes to meme about Carl in troll levels getting caught by everything, but seriously the level of skill this man has at video games is very impressive. First time hardcore Subnautica clear, no diffs the grand majority of Elden Ring and a 32 Heat clear in Hades.
Good stuff, and a good dude overall.
