"I'm unironically mentally afk playing any game" WoW will do that to you

A game with 3 buttons and somehow asmon fails to use 2 of the 3

I forget how dumb asmond is, Uses CAST and SPECIAL build, still takes attack buff and never uses it.

man refuses to use the main mechanic of the axe, blocking attacks and snaring "This weapon is shit" That's hilarious because the AXE does exactly what the Shield did in Hades 1 and it was the best weapon in the game hands down. *God I just cant some times...* How do you expect to ever be able to use a weapon if you refuse to use a whole half of the weapons effects?

the ghost onion and spider relic are some of the best in the game for learning the game. but switching relic whenever u can is the best thing u can do

Bro forgot casts exist

I bet the weapon he chose would do great if he used more then just 2 buttons...

55 mins in the second playtrough video, Asmon learns there is more then two buttons in the game 😂

"Nah I'd win" - Asmongold

There's no way he really played Hades 1, Hades 2 has so many same mechanics and he just don't know and ignore the new ones too lmao

its like stages of grief but trying out new games and there is only 3 steps : Changing lives, trying again, appreciating masterpiece.

To be fair the chronos fight can be pretty frustrating especially the second phase where the oneshot animation can bug out.

The omega attack with the flame weapon can absolutely MELT, especially if you have good regen and charge speed up

Asmon is giving something another try. Feeling brave today are we?

Lol I've just beat the Chronos for the first time, took a cigarette with the insane heartbeat and a new playthrough from Asmon comes out. Runs never stop haha

Only 2 death defiances? You can get 5 brah. 3 from altar of ashes, 1 from familiar, and 1 from the Skelly keepsake. Chronos has some bs instagib mechanics in certain parts of that fight and having more death defiances is pretty much the best thing you can do for dealing with that and at least being able to learn the mechanics on each attempt.

cam blocking every character in the game isn't so great tbh

Just beat last boss today after using a cheese. This is insanely harder than hades 1

I dont know if they meant for it - but Hestia's boon that lets you sprint through projectiles is absolutely broken in almost all fights from what I can tell. I think Im 7 for 7 on chronos/eris fights (2 kills on chronos) - all of them I was using that boon, and/or the one with apollo that lets you resist instances of dmg.

The omega special also stacks! That is the key point, you can do i more than once and it hads more flames basically doubling the DPS. He is just not using it correctly lol

Staff of Momus, poseidon special, hammer that fires 2 special attacks with improved tracking. You're welcome

Went though the two stages of grief axe play ending at 2:27:56 First in area one "the Axe is the best" and once you reach later in you see why the slower less control can mean "The axe is the worst. It can be good with the right boons though. Like if I was playing that I'd have started with the charged special with blitz to soften them up and then gone in with the whirlwind to proc that blitz, oh and if your ever being chased use cast, don't need to charge it even. The reason some of the enemies like the banshee in the first area and the yellow guys with horns chase you is to make you need to use cast to control them.

in the last game I just spammed shield build until I beat Hades lol and it worked

The sister blades are the most OP right now, they will get nerfed, was so easy to kill chronos abusing those. Than's Axe is also insanely OP with its insanely high crit chance. But hitting for 2-3k with 1 hit on daggers is broken.

sucks when you get the eris debuff and dont check it to see what it did

i had a feeling after cheesing the game mashing the special from a distance asmond wouldn't like melee. 😂

Looks like chronos is stealing your gaming skills asmond.

Casts are so good in this game. You need to learn to use it. Plus, people saying a weapon sucks don't know how to build or play it. I've killed chornos with every wep

Seeing Asmon playing Umbral flames made me want to open the game and use that weapon properly. Also.. Bro, use your Q.

This was painful to watch

Nope, Odyssey just refused to pray to Poseidon. He killed the Cyclop later.

Bro doesn’t read

the Torches are actually really good, but you have to channel long enough with them to hit harder, but the build requirements for them are pretty specific and pretty niche

First time using a weapon, only uses special and nothing else.... "This weapon sucks!" hahahaha try using all your abilities before you start saying something sucks!

Is it me or diese Hades 2 looks easier then Hades 1?

can we pls talk about how they chose a voice actor with a good nicholas cage impression to play narcissus?

I just beat Chronos with the most broken build lol. Beat him in 3min flat which is wildddd

holy shit he tried it again no way

Everday drama get busy with life 🧬

The problem is not that the Axe is bad but becouse the combat is not well designed around melee combat.

I'm laughing so hard at this, love you Asmon

Ah, I remember the first time I used the torches 😆

Chronos has so much hp. Only got one kill on him so far with Dagger omega attack build.

Still cam in bad position. When does he learn?

*55 mins in the second playtrough video, Asmon learns there is more then two buttons in the game* 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

cam window is massive.. like 20% of the screen lol so weird

hes not doing half the grind and picking things up or using the forget me not.

"So mote it be" A term used by operative and speculative Freemasons and also by Rosicrucian mystics and neopagans. The origin of the phrase comes from the oldest know piece of masonic evidence known as the "halliwell" or the "regius manuscript" a large poem dating back to 1390 with the final words in old English saying, "Amen! amen! so mot hyt be! Say we so all per charyté"

Dude is allergic to using his root

“I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine” - a literal sheep

How did this dude put over 50 hours into the first Hades then turn around and play this like it's his first video game. Asmon playing games other than WoW makes him look like a gaming journalist.

So he tried it again.. very interesting

Use Cast more

I never played hades, should I start with 1?

damn asmond living the dream buying asses XD

i have never seen someone miss so much shit in a game. Ungodly amount of loot left behind and i'm pretty sure he completely forgot Nemesis exists. Also forgets half his attacks exist for that matter. Why bother to play if your not going to even try?

There is no cake.

1:37:35 the sound bug

Dashing feels really stiff along Attack strings. Early Access is good but lough

The amount of smiling Asmon does as soon as he starts his first axe run is peak

Bro tried Hades 2 again

Overall it still looks like a well developed game.

They put a chk in it and made it lme and gy

Is Cerberus the final boss?

Nice another video

Comment: “What’s the difference from Hades 1” Asmond: “Oh, the game is Woke now”.. 😂😂🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

EVery build is "GOOD" but Umbra Flame sucks so hard vs ALL OTHER options. I dont know why its should need "Poseidon" to work, it means it sucks to only want one God to work, but not others.

something new to pirate thanks!

Garlic

The number of people complaining about Hephaestus being disabled is worrying. People literally don't even know the character and still complain like they care. Asmon is based as f for playing games based on their gameplay. That'll teach the devs how to make game that are fun. Not caressing the snowflakes.

Cool thanks, enjoyed the first video alot and was hoping for more of this content.

Like I need to see your face the whole time of gameplay

At least being a bit woke fits the setting of the game. The Greek gods are well known to enjoy swapping genders and that's just the tip of the iceberg for them.

How on earth does he not understand the wands Attack charges and uses Magick. Then can’t even aim it right and doesn’t choice magic regen boons. I’ve never been so frustrated watching someone play 😂😂😂😂

The cast is the most important ability in the game. He doesn't use it ever

It’s fine to call out the woke stuff while also acknowledging the good gameplay one doesn’t cancel out the other and it’s stupid to act like just because the gameplay is good the woke stuff isn’t bad.

So, third part when? There is still so much shit that he completely skipped cuz he keeps missing plants, mushrooms and much more and the whole surface area too...

let me guess, the next vid gonna Change you life

For me, melee just feels so horrible to play in Hades 2. Too much risk, too little reward compared to just using omega casts from far away which can do even more dmg anw

I think what i dislike about how Asmon plays is most of the time he over-commits to his build. When he commits to something, nothing else exists. When he RMB build, he doesnt use anything else. Like the Axe, he dont use F, Q or RMB for that matter.

Took me 32 nights after failing over and over again! Pain in the ass then I went the surface battered the end boss and now Iv got loads of other stuff to do ❤GOTY contender already

umbral flames is dogshit i dont care what anyone says plus its boring af to use

I love when people talk shit about Hades 2 being woke when like the first game had the following The ability to be in a bisexual polyamorous relationship A gay relationship between two other characters The god Chaos being a they/them A major theme of the game is repairing relationships and families If anybody knew anything about the first game, they would've known Hades 1 was 'woke' too, but completely ignored it cause the game was amazing. But because everybody's on their 'fuck Sweet-Baby-Inc and down with DEI' phase, everyone is now suddenly surprised to see a popular indie game have diversity. There's plenty of SBI and DEI bullshit to combat, but this aint one of them. The reason Gamergate 1.0 failed is because of shit like this, where people forget what exactly they're fighting for and just use the platform to go after games/people that don't deserve it and/or be total cringelords.

Asmon: hades 2 is woke Hades 1: gay poly relationships and they/them gods

“a game is not good because it is woke, and game is not bad because it is woke. as long as the gameplay is good” -Asmongold 2023 i personally dont agree with their race change, hestia depiction, asian hermes, etc BUT i dont care as long as the gameplay is good. At a certain point I just accept some people just dont share my view and ideology. as long as the quality of it is good (“quality” here means if in a “game” its the gameplay, if in a “movie” its the “story”, etc), then i dont care if its woke.

Asmon non poppin off... kinda skill issue :P ?

The Cerbarus fight has horrible hit-boxes, they don't match the animations at all.

AAAA Game.

Did this game change your life though?

I like men

Is it woke for real? I bought it and have barely played it so far. It plays like a dream.

HAH SO BAD SKILL ISSUE

Day 5 of asking asmongold to play little nightmares.

this game changed his life

Man, first time watching Asmongold. This was quite underwhelming, it was a mediocre display of skill at best.

Smarmy devs

Funny how all the greek mythology characters are black 😂

Hmm doesn't feel very WOKE.

Honestly, Hades 1 seems much more appealing to me... This looks like terribly overcomplicated, with some weird setting...
