It's because is just Hades Reskinned. So the Base Game and Core Gameplay is the same, just a lot more woke lol. It is woke as Hell no matter how many Shills try to gaslight everyone who isn't a Consumer Drone like them.

"Core gameplay is the same"

Right. That's why half the the threads here are complaining how the core gameplay has changed.

If that was the Truth, then why is there a False Narrative that this Game is doing great? Funny. Seems this is doing great for other "Reasons"? Political perhaps? I tried it and seems the same ♥♥♥♥ as Hades, just with less appeal since they went overboard with the Woke Artstyle and as we know it's EA.

Noted the Issue has nothing to do with having a Female Protagonist.

The folks complaining about woke are doing a public service. You're all advertising the critical thinking skills and the values of your group. Every post is an own goal and I thank you for your service. 🫡

To the Valve staff reading this thread at the same time as I am : please don't lock it just yet.
Let them cook a few more hours, this is peak.

I have no idea if this game is doing great.

Also the game doing great has nothing to do with the core gameplay having changed.

If you don't want to believe that every other thread is complaining about dash/sprint/cast, that's really your own wilful ignorance.

Yes, "Gameplay" is not important for a Game's Success, lmao. Good Times.

You know, for someone who screamed "♥♥♥♥ your feelings" for 4 straight years, you anti-woke crowd surely love making sure every single discussion board on Steam knows how you feel.

and what was that I said about Woke being 4chans new go to..

The "Go woke go broke" is an oversimplification. In games, excessive wokeness harms storyline, but if the gameplay is good than probably it will do fine. Moralist games (like bible games) are usually annoying, but that is it.

For all the limited wokeness the first Hades had, they never went full wokeness on that. A full woke Hades would be super negative about the Hades-Persephone relationship. Just see how the mega Woke TED portraits Hades as evil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLAYGZeVTPQ

Also, if you have successful brand, your game will sell well regardless of how much it sucks. If this game is bad, it will probably only harm Supergiant in the future. A "Hades 3" sales would suffer, but this game would sell well anyway as everybody who enjoyed Hades 1 will buy this.

lol too true

And the sell numbers and reviews proves some extreme leftists who claim gamers will hate and review-bomb a game just because it has DEI completely wrong.

A woke game with representations and other stuff can still sell well if the game itself is good.

I hate identity politics but I still played Hades 2 for 20 hours since launch. I barely bet an eye on how they design the gods. These are fictional characters anyway, so whatever. The game is good.

Also Mel, Nem, Aphrodite, Selene, and Artemis are still very hot/beautiful. So don't complain there aren't any pretty girls in this game, because that's not true.

DEI is still trash content that adds nothing, but if a game is only 5% trash I can enjoy it. It only becomes a problem whenever the trash percentage exceeds a certain limit and whenever developers tries to put DEI into promotion material.

It's incredible how they just out themselves these days like their view is even a remotely acceptable one that functioning members of society agree with, and I've never met a single person upset with stuff like this that wasn't an absolutely intolerable loser who is perpetually angry with the world when really they just hate themselves and have no idea how to deal with it.

Get therapy, people. I promise it won't be "too woke" for you.

"Intolerable". People like you are why I became a hermit. Video games are my escape but you come in there too and tell me everything I think and do is evil. ♥♥♥♥ you and the horse you rode in on.

The ones fighting against woke, are just dumb and annoying as the ones pushing it.

Maybe some, but certainly NOT all.

There exists a very large arm of "woke" that is people pushing for all people to be accepted and nothing else. There is no such benevolent arm of "anti-woke". The anti-woke crowd is absolutely built on bigotry and exclusion no matter how many times people say stupid stuff like "muh historical accuracy". We ALL know what they are really upset about. They hate trans people, colored people, fat people, etc. That's all the anti-woke movement is, it's really that simple. They are absolutely not the same. Hating bigots is not the same as hating people different than you.

God forbid someone want a game about ANCIENT GREECE to have ANCIENT GREEKS in it.

It sucks when people don't like you for the person you are, doesn't it?

I prefer just not liking people in general till approached, it tends to filter paranoia and remove racism.

"It hurt itself in its confusion!"

The game is not about ancient Greece, just as Cyberpunk is not a game about a dystopian city.

You removed paranoia and racism and replaced it with misanthropy, congratulations I guess?
