Talk about saving your best til last....
This is a troll post?.
This is a troll post?.
People of the gaming world.
Since this years video game awards and its nominations for Game of The Year alot of people -myself included- just had one single question: What the fuck is this game and why was it nominated for GOTY???
Also why the fuck did it win even TWO awards at the game awards.
I know alot of people don't give a flying fuck about awards or game awards in general, but its saying something about the current state of the gaming industry. Its becoming more and more like movies. Influenced from real world events and political agenda bullshit. And here we go, theres a game nobody gave a flying fuck about but suddenly it is literally FORCED and shoved into our faces.
So lets take a look at this crappy game:
HADES
came out on sept 17, 2020 but already released in Early Access in Dec. of 2019.
!!!!!OVERHELMINGLY POSITIVE!!!!!
wow. much hype. very swell
ok?
well the reviews from people who played are are total bs. "pet the dog pet the dog pet the dog 10/10" what a fucking horse crap.
Ok, then lets take a look at the stats, everyone likes stats right?
So what this tells us is basically nobody gave a fuck about this game up until the time it released and even when it released it wasnt that hot. Only when it got nominated for goty...literally out of nowhere, out of Keighleys ass or idk
and already it is losing players everyday.
The game that won two awards at the game awards including BEST ACTION GAME
Thank you for using the correct word.Its their best game yet. Addictive, forgiving. Just fun to play. And I hate almost anything roguelike
I don't like trashing a game I haven't tried but I do get the anger that the game awards is just another form of marketing. Lots of titles out there are probably, arguably more deserving.
Awards should be based on merit or they cease to have any value. We all know that they’re mostly marketing, so that’s where the anger comes from, and some, like myself, can’t accept that something called an award is given out as a popularity indicator instead of a quality indicator.I love this thread. The hype and out of nowhere feeling is similar to what Transistor had around here. I fell for that and bought Transistor, played for as many hours as I could stand, decided it wasn't very fun to play. Like the OP I saw Hades ads all over the place from seemingly out of nowhere. I thought "Wow it won a couple awards, how did I miss that?". Then I saw it was from Supergiant and proceeded to ignore the whole thing.

Edit: I’m not speaking about Hades quality since I haven’t played it and probably won’t.
I don't think marketing has anything to do with this. Super Giant games isn't some big publisher spending lots of marketing money on awards shows so they can be featured. It just happened to strike a chord with a lot of people, especially for an indie title. That you don't like it doesn't mean it's not deserving of praise.
I mean come on sheeples, with literally a 99% positive review score on Steam after 100k+ reviews, I mean, it's hard to argue that the game isn't widely thought of as being good.
Man between this, Silksong and Axiom Verge 2, Switch is getting ALL the indie goodness.
I am strictly talking about consoles. None of them are confirmed for anything other than switch.Switch and everything other gaming platform?
Yeah, I Kinda screwed that post Up.Atually Hades is the God of Hell... Hell is the hell... a place.
You do control the Hades's son (the prince of Hell) that wants to get out (free) from Hell.
Edit - Fixed.

You are definitely missing out dude. Standouts from this gen for me are:Call me jaded but I can’t get it up for indie games.
No man, according to this thread its GOTY contender and OP needs to get himself checked! What a moron!
it looks cool actually.
Its already on switch, that's where I played it, in handheld mode while working dead weekend shifts for overtime. Amazing game. It even has pc / switch cross save. You sure it's not on ps4/Bone?I feel like Hades will be a PS exclusive when it comes to console. Seems like their type of game.
I don't have a Switch and never realized it was on there. Someone already informed me of that. I have a PC, Xbox, PlayStation.Its already on switch, that's where I played it, in handheld mode while working dead weekend shifts for overtime. Amazing game. It even has pc / switch cross save. You sure it's not on ps4/Bone?
Swing and a miss, pal. Swing and a miss.Underrated game of 2020: Streets of rage 4.
Deserved more praise, even more than Hades IMO! (IMO IMO IMO)
Swing and a miss, pal. Swing and a miss.
Streets of Rage 4 had super awesome music though. I liked it just fine.
Nope. TLOU was cool tho, wish it had a sequel.
Hollow Knight
Axiom Verge
Katana Zero
The Messenger
Enter The Gungeon
Blasphemous
Timespinner
CrossCode
Valfaris
I played pretty much all AAA games this gen but I would put these at least on the same level as the greatest of AAA like Sekiro or Bloodborne
All the games I've seen from them look the same (Transistor, Pyre... this), and I have a BIG ASS problem... everything looks so tiny. Like I'm controlling and fighting ants on an isometric plane, and there isn't a way to get the camera any closer AFAIK. That's why I'll never try their games regardless of the praise they get.
And its hades was a xbox first party, you will be Opening six threads a weekSomething tells me this thread would not exist if hades was a Sony first party game.

How the fuck did this get 70+ reactionsImagine being this salty over a legitimately amazing game that nails both gameplay and narrative without sacrificing either.
Out of nowhere because you live under a rock.
A thread where ONE person says a beloved game is crap, despite not playing it and almost everyone disagrees?
So sick of the people crying about how PlayStation games have a fanbase. Especially, on threads that have nothing to do with Sony games.
No one cares if you hate Sony. All that gets you are likes from Mr. CatLady

So sick of fragile Sony fanboys crying about liking posts. You and your SonyBros are way over sensitive Miss Toad.
Very carefully.
This is like the third time this week I have seen someone mention you liking posts. I was like, wtf? I don't get it. Everyone likes posts.
My brother recommended I get this game so I did. I haven’t been disappointed. Seems like the op is upset by Greek mythology and combat or something.
Bravo!
One of the most over-rated games I've ever played. I don't know where all the rabid love for the game is coming from. IMO, Dead Cells is the GOLD STANDARD when it comes to "Rogue Lights".
Hades on the other hand is basically a Bastion re-skin and the Super Giant fanboys just eat it up.
Going against "your dad" to get out of hell. So edgy.
It's really nothing special.
Since you’re a fan, which is worse Bastion or Transistor? Looking to start one of these soon.I'm going to assume OPs rant is a Devil's advocate type rhetorical device to get a discussion going on how awesome Hades is, and not some fucking idiot that only plays AAA games or somethin'.
My personal 2020 GotY. 10/10. SuperGiant's magnum opus.
