Please make a normal ending for this game

[КЕФИР]

My main complaint about the first game is that it is impossible to complete it in classic way. You just don't experience the feeling of catharsis.

The ending in games and the satisfaction of completing them are very important. Don't ruin the game by not having these emotions.

Just put a bold epic point at the end, and somehow separate the endless rough-like gameplay mechanics for fans.

ur weird

Hades I spoiler necessary for question:

Did you reach the point where you hand out invitations to a gathering? That was supposed to be the epic emotional ending that tells you you're done.

You are failing to realize what kind of game this is.

That does happen in the first game

Yes, I beat both acts. The first act is amazing. But the second one spoils the whole impression of the game.

There's a ton of content hidden in the second act that will make you want to keep playing.

And that feeling of catharsis from the first act is dissolved by the endless attempts to unlock the final epilogue. You just experience burnout, not elation.

It would be much better if they finished the story and didn't hide the plot in endless retry mode. They would make it a separate regime.

Yeah, that's fair. I liked the ending but it was more of a pleasant coda than the exhilarating crescendo that it could have been. I came to like the ending more on subsequent plays than I did the first time, once I knew how it was going to go.

It would be nice to face something in the gameplay that we've never seen until the finale, and as you say it could go back to the normal loop afterwards if people want to play on.

ITT: An OP who seems to have no clue what a roguelite is.

[widespreadpanick]

I do disagree. I loved the "ending" to Hades, after completing 10 runs. Journeying on the river Styx with your mum while "In the Blood" plays in full and the credits roll was a very cathartic experience to me.

But the story is neat in how it works with a "roguelike" in that there is never any final end. They're all going to keep doing what they're doing, such is hell.

OP has no idea what a Rougelite is.

Ignore them.

[Wormerine]

I can't disagree - I do prefer stories with definite closure. I thought Supergiant did a pretty good job finding an explanation for infinite gameplay loop after the story is completed, but I do agree that it does cheaper the overall experience. The only way I could imagine it working if the ending was a grimmer - nothing would get resolved and characters would be stuck in the same loop they originally started.

That said, it is rogue-lite and those are meant to be replayed. Because of what the game is, the campaign will outlive narrative content. It is definitely my less preferred way of ending games, but it is what it is.

[Abilini]

that what I liked in the first game so I hope not

[Nick]

you get a long ass credits sequence when you actually beat the game and have a post game to tie up loose ends with persephone.

im not sure what else you wanted. supergiant mails you a trophy?

[bigboss555]

no, shut up

I want two gameplay modes: 1) SinglePlayer Adventure and 2) Rogue-Like for nerds. Instead of trying to fit these two modes into one
