Hades - How to Play 'Good Riddance'

[@Scarlet_Spectre]

Did this really happen? Did we get an official instrumental tutorial for a game's soundtrack? XD Respect Supergiant. That's what i want from game developers

[@Collywobby]

A dream come true. Hopefully, more will follow.

Darrekn Korb is notr the only one who did it, Alistair Lindsay who made music for Rimworld also has tutorials on his youtube channel

[@jcdenton4534]

@@lukaz20001 Personally I'm self taught so I don't know about online learning. However, I highly recommend starting off with fingerpicking instead of using an actual guitar pick it'll make it much easier as you'll be able to focus more on your left hand than making sure your pick is in the right place. Also, if your left hand hurts in the beginning, you're doing it right.😂 You'll eventually get used to it so it'll be painless, but for the beginning, yeah. Another great way to train in notes from memory is going up 1 fret using all four fingers. But if you need help or want to ask questions or something hit me up on Instagram @dads_herobrine_overdose.

I want to say thank you for including the God Mode aspect of the game. As a person with physical disabilities affecting my fine motor and coordination skills with my hands and legs, having that God Mode ability has been great. I'm able to enjoy the game and the storyline without having to suffer not being able to beat the game because of my disabilities (like with Breath of the Wild). I don't know if that was one of the intentions of God Mode or if it was just a nice side effect, but regardless I really want to say thank you for making an awesome accessible game. Side note: the music is fantastic 👏

In the name of Hades I accept this gift!

[@PantsaBear]

I remember playing Hades a few days ago and getting stuck at Elysium to the point where I wasnt even making it there any more because I was getting fatigued at how hard and intense the game could be at times. Then I took a boat across the river Phlegethon for like the 100th time and came across Eurydice for the first time, in the most peaceful atmosphere in a world full of flames, and I just stopped for a few minutes to relax and listen to the entirety of the song she sang. Can't believe how great a voice Ashley Barret has, and it was such an incredibly somber moment in a game full of constant crescendos, took me so off guard. Really appreciate this song being in the game and how poetically thoughtful its written; it perfectly brings to life that feeling of being weery after a long struggle, and taking a much needed rest. Nice work SuperGiant, you guys rock

[@Alerafox]

If you like her in that. Def play transistor.

[@PantsaBear]

@@Alerafox Just started Pyre now, will play Transistor next prob lol

[@Alerafox]

I have not played pyre. But I have done bastion and transistor. Pyre was not super interesting to mf honestly.

[@PantsaBear]

@@Alerafox idk Im liking the gameplay a good deal lol, feels like basketball kind of but you can knock other players out of the game, and all players play different. Pretty engaging I'd say after a few matches, and the story adapts whether you win or lose a match or if you make any story decisions, there are no game overs

[@freecitizen_explorer6842]

samee or sort of. Like literally you just go through a few runs stressed af, then the first time you hear Eurydice is literally a breath of fresh air. Like if that's what the devs were after it was spot on! There was this one time i was rly tired so when i arrived at Eurydices place i just stopped to eat lunch while just keeping the game open and listening to the music. Amazing stuff.
