To be honest, I felt like Hades was like GOOFILY sexual. But I get why it works for most people. I just was like...wut!? People are horny for Hades folks, including my sibby. So like, it works. I just don't play games for that kind of stuff is all. I also liked their art more when it was air-brushy over the hard comic lines. Which is kind of crazy, because I like comic book art. It's just like...too much for me. My sibby grabbed Hades 2 and I can't bring myself to play it.
Also they're assholes of accessibility. It's so hard to play Hades because outside of the gauntlets you've gotta mash buttons to get through the whole damn thing. I know I am not the only one who's written to them about this, but they never gave a shit about it. I figured I was pretty much done with them because I have had such positive responses from so many indie developers on accessibility options. Which I think to be absolutely honest, should be a standard for games with larger budgets. Which they for sure had, as far as indie games go. eh.
Accessibility options are woefully limited in most games. All I personally need is a UI scaling option for larger fonts on the TV vs a monitor, but most of the games I play, the only options in there are for changing the color palette of the UI if you have 1 of 2 or 3 types of colorblindness and that’s it. Even though I am not in need of them, I do like seeing a metric fuckton of options in every single tab as I am a firm believer in more options is always better than fewer already, and this is doubly so for helping people with disabilities get some assistance to experience the game as close to intended as possible.
My partner has a rare type of colorblindness that makes certain comfy games completely unplayable. I wanna scream at the screen, because I wish that it were easier in this life to make things more accessible for all people in general. I sit in the same camp with you, the more the merrier when it comes to support. I get sad when I open a game, and I see nothing (cause the first thing I do is always check the options). I tend to not buy games with certain things like flashy effects, qtes, or a need for fast reflects. As you can tell, I'm not PVE-er =P!
I also have a rare type of colorblindness, and it sucks when certain parts of a game are seemingly locked behind color perception. Like, if there’s going to be a reflex mechanic that necessitates a distinction between two colors, please let me customize those two colors in the options. And don’t limit it to deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia; just let me choose the fucking colors. Some games do it right, but most just assume everyone can perceive colors the same way
I am not sure if you even keep playing games like that but often it's those ones that end up having to get returned. Which is such a bummer, because it so easily could be solved. Most times when you reach out to the company though (or devs, which ever) unless it's a really small team they will typically ignore your requests. Any time I have had accessibility requests, without hesitation smaller teams have implemented them almost immediately. Likewise they've asked if there is anything else that I might need. I know we're getting better at accommodating people, but there are still people who believe you can just "get gud" and work through these problems. When in actuality, they game-ending experiences. Which really sucks. Thanks for sharing by the by =)
Why would anyone have that strong a view about what you said…? I’m not clamouring for sequels particularly for those games, though I’d love more games like them. Then again, whatever gets me more beautiful soundtracks from Darren Korb.
I’ve figured it out. Imagine that Mia farrow and woody Allen were cousins and Soon-Yi were the child of Farrow’s deceased previous husband (I assume there’s no divorce, but I’ve never played this game). Then Soon-Yi marries a sibling of Ronan Farrow, who also dies. Now, if she and Ronan farrow get married, she’s his cousin, half-sister, sister-in-law, niece, and wife.
Then if he’s the king and they like each other, she’s the queen, his vassal, and his friend.
Edit: I guess Mia farrow would also have to be dead for Soon-Yi and Allen to have gotten married.
At least for me, they shove me over to lemmy.world. I suspect you may have clicked the autofill suggestion, which includes the instance in the link and thus forces all users who click onto your instance. If you don’t do that and just write !communityname@instancename, it will let people click the link and go to the community on their instance, so they can interact instead of just browsing. I see you’re from Emmy.world.
!videogamesuggestions should let you see from lemmy.world and interact and comment and vote and the like. !videogamesuggestions (I clicked the autofill this time, it produced [!videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/c/videogamesuggestions)) will just toss you onto my instance, lemmy.zip.
Nostalgia mostly lol. It’s the version I grew up with and there’s some vibe that the 360 version has that I can’t quite get with older versions of Java (it might just be a placebo though). That I play with controller and it has my favorite version of controller support yet.
They write a great deal, show how the game feels, express how they’ve enjoyed the games and if they’d recommend them. I consider these posts one of the more valuable we have here in this community. It’s not just a link and a one-liner, they’re writing and sharing their experiences and creativity. Formatted and so well made.
Its insane to me that you’d think this is shit. What would you prefer be posted here?
The screenshots frustrated me too, because I’ve seen that done before where it’s a daily screenshot and nothing else, feels low-effort and annoying and somehow spammy even if it’s still on topic. Although my approach was to just scroll on, especially since it was just another spam post and not outrage-inducing. If it got truly bothersome I could always click the user and block.
Then I actually clicked one and saw the thoughts. They belong here. Wish there was a simple way for the poster to communicate to people like me, who got tired of seeing low-effort “screenshot a day” stuff and will make assumptions, that their posts are more than those and have actual words and effort with them.
@MyNameIsAtticus needs to change the title to “Daily thoughts: game X, game Y, game Z.” Continually saying “screenshot” each time is misleading and does legitimately sound spammy and annoying. A simple title change would be so much better.
I have actually thought about this! I’ve changed the name a couple times before. Usually I have people asking about it the name change though. I’m considering doing it after I reach a year, I might do it sooner though after seeing someone else now after seeing someone else say the same thing.
I have the exact same take, and the exact same experience with my friend group. I love supergiant games. Anything they touch is solid gold imo. I’ve always said that Hades is an amazing game, it’s just supergiant’s worst game.
Personally, I think for me, it comes down to the setting. Bastion, Transistor and Pyre all had amazing, unique settings that made me as a player want to learn and explore everything I could. And again, Hades does an amazing job of painting the setting and fleshing out the characters, but it’s kinda just Greek mythology, which has been done before and I personally find it less interesting.
To restate, Hades is an amazing game, just imo it’s supergiants worst game.
