Algorithm comment!
I love how you guys are still talking like Hades is Hell even though it's not. Two completely different mythologies, ya lovable dimwits.
I think it needs to be said, this is likely the fastest any LP channel has made it to Hades. You guys are doing phenomenal.
I hope they play this for a long time, especially since Ian is so good at it that it is slowing down some of the lore and unlocks that the rest of us mortals had drip-fed to us. It is such a treat to see people play this game for the first time blind, even if Ian is absolutely dunking on me in skill. I couldn’t even beat Meg by my 10th attempt.
I can totally see Ian being able to do fresh-file speedruns of this game.
"I don't want to slow down my gameplay"
My guy, in four runs you have reached where most people would only be in 30+. Do the rest of our egos a favor and slow the fuk down!😂
That was a really good first Hades fight. Nobody beats him first try. Nobody.
Chaos is… Yeah, I'm not gonna mince words. They have the best design in the game.😂
Like, I don't think it's even close.😂
Given how much Hades's fighting style resembles Zagreus's (Dash, cast, etc.), it probably shouldn't have come as a surprise that he could use Death Defiance too.
All of the comment section is calling Ian god gamer getting to the end and beating his first run with so short few attempts.
Oh my god. I checked the comments for spoilers, because if I don't know if I could handle watching this video not knowing if he wins a run ON HIS FOURTH ATTEMPT. Thank GOD(s) he didn't. I would have melted into a smoldering heap of skill issue.
…Ah, darn. I melted anyways, because he REACHED HADES ON HIS FOURTH TR-
It's almost annoying how fast Ian manages to get past everything in the game, lol. It's getting to the point that the normal events can't catch up. Man's accidentally speedrunning the game!
Actually, in the mythology, Hades and Persephone have the most stable, devoted, and loving relationship in all of Greek myth (aside from the initial kidnapping and potentially tricking her into eating the pomegranate). The portrayals where Hades is evil, or their relationship is toxic, are the actual modern mistellings.
Bro even beat the first hades phase first try 😭
Hades and Persephone was originally an arranged marriage and in ancient greece an arranged marriage didn't require the knowledge of the bride.
i think its funny how casey has been mixing up the greek depiction of the afterlife with the christian depiction of hell this entire time, lmao
Did I miss the episode where they see the flashback scenes? The ones that kinda explain more why Zagreus is escaping?
Day 90 of asking you guys to play Kid Icarus Uprising for the Nintendo 3DS
Day 104 of asking you guys to play WarioWare Gold for the Nintendo 3DS
That was insane speed and skill. Reaching Hades so fast is crazy. And you beat Theseus and the Minotaur on the first try?!? With barely any mirror upgrades? God gamer.
The bow was how I beat my 1st run. Shield and spear are alot of fun. A really interesting vid to watch is how the dialogue tree works which is so interesting and shows how huge the dialogue is.
Weirdly enough you are meant to meet a new god on your next run after you get to the sufferers but you got there faster than the game thought you would so you're getting the call conversation first.
Ian’s boon opinions are so funny to me lmao – he’s a mechanical god but has no clue what he’s doing with his boons
What iteration of Hades is a watercolour lesbian??
Man, I've got probably somewhere around 600 hours into Hades (hard to say exactly since my wife plays it as well on my account), I've 100% all achievements. My fastest new-save clear of Papa is run 8. Seeing Ian get so far so quick is…Astonishing. What a god gamer.
When you get a chance, repair the lounge cause there’s a character in there that I think Casey would like
INSANE SKILL— wtf 😭😭 IAN!
I had to turn on “god mode” to get that far!
You’re literally speed-running the game!!
The lore has to catch up!!
Okay, so the storyline got confused by the surprising lack of a skill issue. There was supposed to be a small event were Zagreus finds out Persephobe is her mother. The whole time he tought nyx was his mother
algorithm comment <3
Reaching Hades on run #4. Also, not understanding the meaning of "afterward". Never change <3
You guys should really watch someone else’s playthrough. It takes most people dozens of runs to even reach Hades. The story unfolds at a rate that expects you to take longer
Uggggg it hurts that Ian is THE GOD GAMER. It took me 50 tries just to reach hades, 53 to defeat him. Also in Greek mythology hades has 3 layers… not 7?
So if i may make a case for the bow. You can use your special like a shotgun and point blank someone in the back for HUGE damage
Ian you are a capital G Gamer. Please stop being a capital G Gamer you are going too fast god damn
ok so to be clear, and i know this is a month-old series from pateron: IAN YOU ARE A GODGAMER HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET THIS FAR THIS FAST
Algorithm comment! (And answering their questions about Persephone and Hades because I love nerding out about Greek Mythology)
Hades and Persephone being in love is more of a “modern” concept, as the focus of the myth was less on their relationship and more on Persephone’s mother and her journey to find her daughter (I know that Ian and Casey probably already know who she is at this point, but I’ll keep it vague to remain spoiler free for the comments). This was for two reasons:
1) The myth was made as an explanation of the seasons, and the gods were less so characters and more so tools to explain concepts (Death takes away plants, the harvest stops and the seasons change), so there was no need to flesh out the relationship between Hades and Persephone
2) It was a commentary on arranged marriages in Ancient Greece. Oftentimes, the bride’s family would never see their daughter again. In the myth, Persephone’s mother defies the expectations of the time by actively searching for her daughter and getting her back at the end, even if it’s only for half of the year. The story is more about a mother’s love for her daughter than it is about romantic love, so people consider it to be relatively progressive and feminist for the time period.
I guess modern retellings make Hades and Persephone fall in love to give some agency to Persephone, though a lot of them also tend to demonize Persephone’s mother in the process.
I think I did about 60+ runs before I got to Hades. I had the worst time with Theseus (whom I now hate with my entire being because of this game lol) and I'm glad Ian put him in his place immediately lol
You know seeing Ian nearly beat the namesake of the game on his fourth run reminds me of how Bricky played ULTRAKILL for the first time and played it so well that many were shocked that he displayed skill that someone who's played the game for several dozens of hours would have. I remember there was a comment that mentioned it was like witnessing the coming of the Lisan Al Ghaib.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I almost wish Ian would play the game worse, especially since according to some of the comments Ian is playing so well he's accidently sequence breaking the game.
Day 12 of me asking Ian and Casey to play nine sols. Also jez your are so fast
You’re thinking of the wrong mythology with the tiers😂 Greek afterlife has the bad place, the neutral place, and the good place. That’s it. The 7 tiers of hell is a Christian idea. Or a Dante idea actually, it’s not even in the bible lol. The remaining locations in the Codex are special places
Also you got to Cerberus WAY quicker than the game expects you to, you’re supposed to find out about Persephone from a flashback that also explains the Nyx situation😂
Getting to Hades before the nighttime event, without unlocking calls, no keepsakes, the lounge still wrecked, no Dusa, no second side of the mirror, no Chaos, and prolly more things I didn’t think off rn ON A BLIND PLAYTHROUGH is absolutely INSANE. I couldn’t get that far this early in the save file if I tried NOW that I know the game wtf
you should check out nine sols!
