Okay, so let me just spill my thoughts on this Hades 2 thing. Apparently, it’s been floating around in this early access phase for a whole year. Yup, a year of kinda-sorta working gameplay but with placeholder art that, honestly, seemed like it was scribbled in a hurry. Maybe I’m being unfair? Anyway, the real kicker here is how they had some generic dude, always in this odd green hood, filling in for, get this, actual gods. I know, right?!
Narcissus, you know, Mr. All-About-Me from myth, first appeared in the game as one of these fill-ins. But hey, big news: they’ve finally given him a makeover with the latest Unseen update. Tuesday, in case you missed it. And Supergiant, well, they’ve really leaned into it.
So yeah, speaking of Supergiant, they’ve got this thing, you see, with the whole erotic vibe of Greek myths. It’s like capturing that ancient culture’s obsession with, well, everything risque. Look at Zeus’s track record. Enough said.
I remember in the first game, they had these voice actors? And their performances? Whew, let’s just say “sultry” doesn’t quite cover it. It was wild. The directions they got must’ve been something like, “Make it sound…mischievous, but also like you’re whispering secrets.” You’d hear a voice and swear you could feel the rasp in your ear.
Oh, and the music. I mean, if you’ve heard that soundtrack, you’ll know it’s like this ancient vibe, making you feel part of something grand. You might start hearing stories of gods and their, uh, colorful pasts. Forget the fighting; you’re in for a romance between battles.
Then, Hades 2 just said, “Let’s crank it up!” I mean, players can practically go on dates. Picture a bathhouse scene where everyone’s in minimal attire. Dionysus? Yeah, he’s got a thong. And Narcissus now? The guy’s like a twink, I swear. Seriously, nobody’s surprised, but also, totally surprised.
There’s this one person on X, who’s like, “If I looked like Narcissus, I’d basically live in the mirror.” Fair point.
Narcissus isn’t the only game-changer; Prometheus shows up looking a bit rough—mouth bleeding and everything. Can you say “fan art spree incoming”? Because trust me, it’s gonna be epic.
Look, while I’m pumped about these changes, a piece of me loved how the placeholder art kinda kept Narcissus mysterious. Like, he’s so freaking gorgeous, we mere mortals aren’t even worthy. Makes sense, right? Ultimately, only he gets to see himself, and, well…you know how that story ends.
