Excuse me, Bouldy has a name and if you invested in the story you'd know that.

I guess the problem with the story in Hades is that it does take a good while to hit the first big moment but when it does, it's a doozy.

I'm at 120 escapes and it just keep going. I'm not sure if I've ever heard a line of repeated dialogue.

I'm over 100 and I still have plot unfolding and all new dialog. Maybe some of the Hades is Snarky After You Beat An Area dialog is repeated, but not the actual script parts.

Can't say enough good things about it and really no bad things except maybe that there are some things that aren't explained anywhere in the game.

settling in to write some erotic hades fan fiction where the weapon aspects gently caress each other.

I dont think there is actually any repeated dialogue. I think they actually just recorded an insane amount of dialogue for this game. A lot of interactions now people just don't say anything but when they do its always a new line. Thesues in particular is a goldmine every time I run into him.

Is it really fan fiction when this happens in-game?

I think Achilles is repeating his generic post-run encouragement lines for now where I'm at (~100 runs, seen credits but maybe only one or two wins past that) but I'm sure he'll have more to say once I hit the next story beat.

Have you done Extreme Measures 3 or 4 yet because he says he's going to stop talking to you but then he has A LOT to say again after that. You also have to run into Asterius alone a few times to trigger some of it

I've had Zagreus repeat some of his lines in the first room of Asphodel or Elysium, so far that's it.

I think a ton of the people who did voices for the game is a Supergiant employee in some regard, which is extremely cool and also wildly unexpected for how good they all sound

Edit: Not all, but a ton. And many people have very few credits outside of Supergiant properties.

Wasn’t the voice of Princess Peach for the longest time just some lady that worked in sales for NoA or something like that? Makes sense, it’s not like voice acting for loving Peach could be all that hard

I'd rather see people excited about games than endlessly making GBS threads on anything they don't really like.

Honestly I bounced off of Hades because I have ancient arthritic hands and can't play difficult games for long but I can see how it is superlative in basically every way. I can't imagine a person watching these interactions play out and tuning out for any reason other than pure 'not me' syndrome.

There's a story about nintendo playing dirty with BotW voice actors. Something about they hired through a shell and didn't tell anyone it was Zelda so they didn't have to pay a better rate? I read it somewhere on the forums

Nintendo got sick of overpaying the guy who voiced Link's various grunts in the previous games.

Yeah I heard that too, probably through these forums. Might explain why the VA is somewhat better in AoC if they were able to figure out that’s what they were recording for and were able to negotiate a higher rate

What is it about Sonic that gets people so worked up? The voice acting for BotW was dogshit and to my knowledge rabid Nintendo fans didn't storm the gates about it.

Lil insider baseball for ya, I have an acquaintance that knew the woman who voiced Mipha. Apparently they were given the script through some shell entity without any sort of context so the actors wouldn't know it was for a Zelda game and therefore wouldn't be able to negotiate their wage rate up. All the english voices in BotW were apparently done for the Screen Actor's Guild minimum rate

I think you can be positive without going overboard.

Like a lot of people say Hades is great and fair enough but once in a generation is a bit much.

There's a gigantic world of difference between mocking (or grieving or loving mockery) and being pointlessly dickish. Twenty years ago we were all young and stupid and that forgives a lot, so long as you learn something, you know, ever. We're older now and a little more love feels like something we can all use.

Been playing with my Mario Kart Live pair and I think I'm gonna draw deathstare eyebrows on Luigi.

Pushing back against overwhelming positivity reads like contrarian rear end in a top hat, not realistic.

Hades isn't once a generation since it's basically in line with the rest of Supergiant's games. They're given a level of effort and polish you just don't see out of anyone really. That still puts it in the top fraction of a percent of Games From 2020, so it's hard to exaggerate its goodening.
