Just cross-posting this from the GBS Hades thread in case anyone is interested.Bad Purchase posted:PSA: Tomorrow (Friday) around 10:30 PM Eastern the AGDQ speedrun marathon on twitch.tv will have two people doing a live Hades race. The name of the speedrun category is "All weapons". I don't know for sure what that means, but I assume each player will be beating the game with all 6 weapon as fast as possible. Should be fun to watch.

I’m not involved in the speed running community but I’m pretty sure that just means any weapon as opposed to a specific weapon

Wafflecopper posted:I’m not involved in the speed running community but I’m pretty sure that just means any weapon as opposed to a specific weapon The estimated time is 2 hours, so they're definitely beating it more than once. Even that seems too long for 6 runs (I'm not a speedrunner, and even I can pretty consistently hit 15 min or less with any weapon, although that's the in game time, not wall time). But yeah, no idea what the actual rules are.

According to speedrun.com, it's six consecutive victories, each with a different weapon.

It would have to be, otherwise a race would be pure RNG and whoever gets the easier seed will win. This way you even the odds.

In game time is a lot shorter than real time in Hades and also the time difference between just beating the game with the max time limit Heat and a speedrun isn't actually that different anyways. A lot of speedrunning this game is just getting good luck with fast rooms/non combat rooms.

Here's a link to the vod, they did use mods for the races to even the RNG and the players are already at the pact of punishment level so they'll already have defences and raised difficulties. By the end of the run they're at EM4 and wailing on Hades at ridiculous strength but that's an effect of the game not the adjustments IMO. The fact that both runners were doing all this with controllers was very impressive to me. edit: also there appears to be a "penalty box" mod to death defiance so instead of ultimate death, a racer has to wait for a time-out which is counted-down in front of everybody. Oh and they nerfed the Saytr Sack to always be behind the 2nd door

A speed run of a mod that alters the RNG kind of defeats the whole purpose of the event in the first place, IMO. I understand its a different category, but this feels way less like something I want to watch now

Doing some RNG control is hardly defeats the purpose.

Doing some RNG control is hardly defeats the purpose. I checked out the speedrunning modpack they use, its an opt-in modular configurable thing that clearly says "modded game" in the top right corner. It does make sense for regularizing runs and races, speedrunning is not the same as casual gaming. It would have been better however if the commentators had explained the modpack for the race clearly at the beginning instead of throwing in clues during the race, that just confused me and de-legitimized the idea. But still, go watch the race keeping in mind that it's within speedrunning parameters. The game hasn't been nerfed except to present the same options to both players but I believe the doors and shops are still under their own RNG. Dialog cutscenes and Thanatos are kept out and other annoyances like hellmode can be toggled off. There is also a separate colourblind mod which was actually necessary for one of the racers in the run, and pretty cool, that's an accessibility improvement that should be in a lot of games.

I'm kinda curious to check that out now. I'm colorblind and a lot of game UIs give me problems. I never noticed an issue with Hades, but maybe there are some status effect and enemy cues I've been missing out on.

And i avoid Hermes pretty much every chance i get. Still managed to beat a run with the sword and leech ability. I just never stopped smashin

I like pairing Artemis and Aphrodite’s boons on most weapons/aspects. used to be Ares/Athena and I still use that for shield. Dio’s call almost always. I do like to get Athena’s dash most runs if I can swing it

Cannon_Fodder posted:I'm always falling for crit and reflect. Why should I care about +1 dash if my dashes don't knock away shots (Athena) or enemies (Poseidon)? On a related note, are any of the other dash boons worth using? Artemis seems like she'd be ok with most weapons, but the rail dash-strike is just the rail normal attack with less mobility after the dash.

If you use the mirror talent that grants you +40% damage against targets that are under two status effects, and you have only one status effect on your attack/special/cast, it can be very worth it to take Demeter's or Dionysus' dashes.

It's crazy how addictive this game is. I have all achievements but one, max ranked all my keepsakes and companions, maxed out all relations, and I'm in the process of maxing all the weapons. But there's still so much to do, like decorating the House, catching more fish to complete the Codex, caving in the face of the so called Champion of Elysium a few... dozen more times, unlocking all songs, etc. It really helps that the sessions are so short, about 40 minutes if you count talking with everybody after a run. And I can only redecorate the House of Hades when dad is in attendance, otherwise I would miss a sarcastic quip! But I'm doing one or two runs each day, and it really ads up. It's also as engaging and exciting as the first few runs, it's an amazing game.

You know you're having a poo poo run when you get to the pool of purging after tartarus and you only have 2 boons you can purge because you only have 2 boons.

Is frame rate ever an issue with this game? I've got a 4-year old PC running 1440p, so I wouldn't think think there would be a problem, but controls seem a little sluggish when there's multiple blade rifts and lightning bolts going at once.

There’s a cheat mod on the nexus that will let you add anything you want. Darkness, gems, even boons during a run. It’s fun to screw around with.
