Hades II - The Olympic Update Patch Notes Dramatic Reading

[@meganc60]

Poor Logan Cunningham has to read out so much because Supergiant can't stop making their game so good

Narcissus portrait should be the last one to be added, given the work necessary to trully portray the beauty of the men himself

Wow, you're really obsessed with Narcissus, huh? Well, can't blame you. I'd be obsessed with him too if I were you. Maybe you should get over him and stop fantasizing about him all day? God, quit thinking about Narcissus for two seconds. But you can't, can you?

[@Onehandguy]

Now, this is the real content I’m looking for when I subscribed to this channel.

[@Van-dq4sw]

Eris' note is the best part of all of this. A "surprisingly rational turn" is an acknowledgment both of character consistency (or inconsistency in this case), and gameplay logic. Well done.

[@alantremonti1381]

Eris, as a character, is like an excuse for Greg Kasavin to remind us all how smart he is. >:I

[@yeahboyz9314]

I can fix her

[@aisadal2521]

This is such a cool way to do patch notes, and I wish more studios would do this! 🤩🤩🤩

[@Magusbrrj27]

Yeaa!!

[@shrimp_colours]

aw im kinda sad that they removed chronos unpausing the game during his fight, it was such a great detail!!

[@alantremonti1381]

Hmm...true. They're usually extremely tuned-in when in comes to what makes a detail annoyong versus when a detail is piquant; I (for whatever reason) want this annoying Time Bitch to piss me off in the menu at least once.

[@HelloWorldMyNameIsLyra]

Whyyyyy

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

Never tried pausing it during his fight so I didn't even know this existed until they said they removed it. xD

[@lurkinlittlesquares6691]

maybe it can become an option in the future to have him able to do that

[@childmanmanreal]

At least he still insults you, haha!

[@HamsterMaster8]

This is a massive update! I kept looking at the scroll wheel thinking it would be much further down!

And this is why Supergiant is one of my favorite dev studios of the current age, an absolutely hillarious idea.

Don’t you mean Homey?

[@erwincandelaria5438]

I was having a hard time reading the patch notes while working. Now, I can just listen to it. Awesome idea Supergiant Games!

[@alexabel1841]

A new update exactly when I thought to check. I know what this means, Cronos must have imprisoned the Fates somewhere in the Supergiant Games office...

[@melinoel616]

Wow, I was just thinking of jumping back into Hades 2 the other day, and this pops up in my feed! I’m super excited to play and test out the super update when I get home from work. Keep up the great work guys! It plays beautifully on Steam Deck! ❤

[@tomgon3D]

VAs are getting paid per word. This was not cheap. Appreciate the effort

[@nevar23]

WOO UPDATE!!! Chonky one, too. Honestly I could listen to Logan read a random Terms and Conditions and would love it - and probably pay more attention to the legalese.

[@AlexDicarlo-k1n]

I would give anything for another Developing Hell no: clip episode on making this update

Genuinely might start using this to fall asleep; it's so soothing...

[@analicious94]

...this is the best ASMR of all time

[@DelatoDarion]

YEAH!!!! Been looking forward to the next major update! I did most of the content in the initial Early Access and didn't want to burn myself out on the game so I stopped, and I am excited to pick this back up and see what the changes feel like!

Wonderful. When I heard the notes were "dramatically read", only one voice came to mind. Well done.

When I saw the update vid had not date I got really annoyed and then saw the update was already queued on steam. I appreciate this, I hate it when I am told in advance I might maybe get improvements. Thank you.

Supergiant, I love your games, I love your voice actors, I love your composers and scores, and I love your writers and art and direction. Please don't let the world bring low the high form you've kept for me over many years. There's nothing that can be called perfect, but what you give me is a truthful joy for me. Thank you to your whole team!

Thank you, Homer! See you (or rather, hear you) in-game!

[@valery898]

[@clprinceton]

I wonder how the narator felt after you guys told him to read all these out lmao. But other than that, this shows how you guys really care about the player's experience (whether out of/in-game). Love you guys! Can't wait to play it

Ya know. I did a good job waiting for 1.0 with Hades one, and said I was gonna do the same with Hades two….but these patch notes are making it reallllll hard to resist.

I’ve already put 120 hours into this game, now it looks like I’m ‘bout to add another 120 hours, let’s gooooo

[@sinedddmk8996]

for as much as I would love to hear this now, I fear for spoilers in the smaller stuff. the trailer showed plenty, and I want to discorver the little changes over time. but I am gonna come back and listen to this, such gravyness in that voice, not exactly relaxing but entertaining

[@Drewww02]

This seems brilliant and came completely out of nowhere (at least for me) so thank you guys. Is the update of the size that you'd recommend starting a new save file? I have one that is only about 20 hours or so in that was at the point of end of early access content on the last patch.

[@ethicadd2189]

if the "improved error messaging we hope no one will ever see" is the error messages when u dont have the required graphics or just in general when u dont have required graphics im so happy cuz i really wanna play the game and if thats the case thank u guys so much hades has genuinely been the best game ive tried this year and i hope u guys make great progress on the game :D no matter how long it takes edit: i actually forgot to mention this but if thats not the case its fine i can wait i just think that u guys should remove it because even with low graphics people deserve to try this out!

[@alantremonti1381]

This sort of lavished praise, from my jaded perspective, is almost always to be scorned, but no one can argue against S'perG in good faith. I hereby humbly endorse your praise.

[@adgaming1257]

Not to diss the game or update (huge fan), but I kinda wish this Dramatic (!) reading is more popular than the patch itself. You've got a KZbin content niche here, don't lose it!
