I had no idea that I could be so motivated, my mum always told me I had no motivation at all!!
Great video my dude. I saw the secrets :P. I am buying this when it's next on sale.
I'd like to subscribe to butt facts.
I'm narratively motivated by butt facts.
Hades is an amazing game, but it did get a tad too repetitive for me after I got to 4 heat(I think). Might pick it up again in the future just to finish the story though.
So here's the thing mate you say that this game is perfect but that objectively cant be true because Hades isn't a JRPG, hypothetically if it was you'd play as Johnny Hades in his conquest of all the hot underworld babes and studs (because its in ancient greece duh!) and use upgradable weapons that all alter Johnny Hadeses play style, one of them would be a mighty sword, one would be a elegant bow and maybe perhaps one of these legendary ancient greek weapons would be the existential dread that comes with an addiction to the inherent need to cause violence on your path to freedom ultimately proving that you are in fact perhaps a bad guy in this story too but not through any fault of your own, plot twists like this would truly show the depth of the underworld and how Johnny Hades has a deep intrinsic motivation that intrinsically motivates me in my pants if you know what i mean ;);0:0:):):);):0:0;90;0;0; so yeah as the game progresses you'd be able to date one (or maybe all because its ancient greece duh ;)) of the romancable studs and studettes. overall though as flawed and imperfect as it stands from the suffering of not being of the best genre of all time (JRPG) I'd rate Hades a 10/10 and give it a mighty seal of hehe xD
Came from r/gamedesign and I think you nailed how well Hades weaves motivation into everything. It's not a big game or a complex game, but it's a dense game and a deep game. For that, it was my game of the year.
m8 my favourite area is the 4rth, best part 10/10
Found you on reddit. Usually videos like these are just podcasts and keep saying what they wanna see. Just want to appreciate that you put some effort into the editing as well to actually use the fact you're making a video. Keep going and keep getting better. Good luck!
IMO should've explained at least to some extent what the whole diegesis thing was? Like you mentioned it in passing in the end and then it sort of just ended. Maybe even write it's definition when you wrote the word on screen to give some idea. Just some feedback.

My guy, I really enjoy this type of game but so many have been released. Everyone has been praising this game so I guess I have to get it
