Now this game is a must buy for people who enjoy shooters.

Casuals win again, almost as if now the game losses its actual theme/plot...

 

[Hugare]

Now I'l finally finish this fucker

This game is amazing. Wont say this is my GOTY because I loved Psychonauts 2 so much, but its up there.

Did you ever turn the system on rest mode while playing?

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Did you ever turn the system on rest mode while playing?

I beat biome 1-3 on my first go where tehre is an auto save. Even if I used the rest mode after that it worked fine. Also the game isnt a slow burn, you can get through it quick. Ive beaten it multiple times with quick run throughs. Once you know the patterns its easy. I beat the final boss with a shotgun

 

[Punished Miku]

Even if I used the rest mode after that it worked fine.

So you used it? Because this is literally the exact same thing, except you turn your console off or play something else.

Glad you're awesome at the game though.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

dat ass

then why is this needed and everyone bitching for it then?

 

[The Cockatrice]

then why is this needed and everyone bitching for it then?

So you're saying everyone should put the console in rest mode instead of having a simpler function for that ingame? Are you an idiot?

 

[Bartski]

Because this is literally the exact same thing.

No it isn't. This is a local save state you can scum from the OS in less than 30 seconds

 

[Punished Miku]

Scum how? The quicksave is deleted as soon as you load your game, like any quicksave. It even blocks you from saving during combat.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I've been waiting for that suspend feature. Time to jump back into this game.

are you saying you cant beat a game and or dont want to lose progress because of lack of skill and or death? Born in 3D gamers are amazing, cant even beat games with save functions

What do you mean? Its stored when you quit, backing it up to cloud is so fast on PS5 this is literally a save anywhere function, that the OS provides you with

 

[BreakOut]

Already installed again. Never got past the 3rd boss. Couldn't keep a long enough run time to ever make a decent stride.

So you're saying you can quicksave, turn the game off. Upload to the cloud. Reload the quicksave, which deletes it on your system. Play until you die, then exit out of the game. Go to the cloud saves menu and then resync the quick save and reload it?

I guess it's possible but I'd be surprised if it works.

No save scum for guys thinking you will be able to do that.

Exactly, of course it works in every game same way. Its an OS function, not the game itself. Also on the PS5 its like 10x faster than on PS4, super easy and hassle free

I'm happy to see a photo mode since this is what the game was really missing.

Would love to see additional content.

Yeap, photo mode is pretty fun here. I just did some quick screens but will spend some time finding the most chaotic particle orgy and then sail around it with the camera.

"leads to fear. Fear leads to xbox."

How so?

 

[TheMan]

Still hesitant to drop 70 for this but it's definitely on my list to play now

 

[Punished Miku]

How so?

Are quicksaves in Hades uploaded to the cloud like that and scummable? I never tried it.

 

[[Sigma]]

How so?

 

[Bartski]

Are quicksaves in Hades uploaded to the cloud like that and scummable? I never tried it.

Of course. You just need to do a manual upload which turns auto sync off

 

[Bartski]

wait what……… ok. So this means they specifically developed it to prevent scumming? Holy shit I stand corrected. This is AMAZING, gonna test thanks!

Edit: I have no way to check roght now, but wht this means they really mamaged to develop a method most likely in collab with sony, so that the cloud backup is "partial" or something, no other game I know if behaves that way. This is actually incredible, I'd love to see that feature implemented in every game where you can "cheat" this way, now that its so easy in PS5.

HUGE W

Edit: HUGE L, no looks like it's your regular save state summable as in every other game from OS.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

i guess i have to throw my copy away in the trash can now that the game is for babies

 

[hemo memo]

then why is this needed and everyone bitching for it then?

Many reason like auto game updates that closed games or a system update on reset mode.

 

[saintjules]

I nearly puked while replying the game after beating it. It's fun but I struggle to reply games since like MGS3. But I tried 3rd biome again from a fresh start and got raped.

To be fair, the 3rd Biome is the most unforgiving stage next to 6.

 

[saintjules]

Awesome news on Suspend option.....definitely going to pick this up now. Is the story good on this or was it just something tossed in there?

Not tossed in imo. It's basic, but compelling in ways where you want to learn more about Selene each time new story bits come up.

Sometimes simple is better, especially for a game like this.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Can't wait!

Huge Roguelike fan here but still have yet to find a PS5 anywhere so am hoping this does come over to PC sooner rather then later.

It was in the Nvidia leak

 

[nowhat]

Many reason like auto game updates that closed games or a system update on reset mode.

Tangentially related - wasn't it so on PS4 that system updates were not automatically installed even if you had automatic updates enabled? Anyway, there definitely should be an option to enable automatic game/app updates (not while a game/app is running of course) while disabling automatic system updates. If there already is, TIL.

 

[drotahorror]

Games been out half a year and still no new content?

 

[Swift_Star]

I'm finally getting this game.

 

[SkylineRKR]

lol that's literally the WORST one there is

I also steer clear of halved melee damage, dash and melee cooldown being doubled etc. It just plays like ass that way.

 

[Swift_Star]

What is it with games and photo modes?

This is NOT a critic to the game, but to photo modes in general...
Only game I ever took screenshots was fh4 and just because I would get $$ to buy cars, I never even saved them

Feel like every game today has to have photo mode...

Don't use it then, some people like it, it's an easy feature to implement... It doesn't need to make sense to you for it to exist.

 

[yohan12]

Will give it another shot. Not having a suspend option killed it for me

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Goty

 

[NickFire]

Casuals win again, almost as if now the game losses its actual theme/plot...

Oh for goodness sake, this is just a glorified pause system. God forbid someone be allowed to poop mid run. Casuals just running amok.

 

[VictorVectors]

$20 buy point.

Just don't have the urge to actually play it. It is what it is and it's the best I can do.

 

[SlimySnake]

This is good but they need to drastically change the malfunction stuff. Just take it out of the game altogether.

 

[TexMex]

How is the theme/plot impacted by creating a suspend point?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Those sons of bitches keep adding content.

As Lt.Dan says, "Goddamn bless America".

It not the type of games I buy or play as I avoid roguelike so the only way I will try it is when it comes to PS+.

 

[Portugeezer]

Haters can eat a dick.

(though even if you could scum, who gives a shit, let the sad people do that, most people just wanted to not leave their console in rest mode for countless hours or be able to play other things)
