How Should Episodes of Hades Be Handled? (Patreon)
Content
I've finally started my playthrough of Hades, and the game proposes a bit of a conundrum. It's a rogue-lite, where you go on runs, and it often feels like I should present each run in its entirety, all at once. The issue is that Hades is not a quick and snappy rogue-lite, so the runs can go on for well over an hour. I can't really blitz through this game with hour-long daily episodes, as this isn't in the RPG slot (and I'll be quite busy there soon with Cyberpunk 2077).
So I see two options for getting through the game while maintaining the normal workload:
1) Cut the recordings into 30 minute episodes, like I always do. There will be a video every day, like normal, but they'll abruptly end in the middle of a run, and the next episode will start mid-run.
2) Leave each run intact, so that you can see it from beginning to end in one video. I will then skip a number of days as if the videos had been split in to parts. If the video is 30 minutes long, then there will be a video tomorrow. If it's 60 minutes long I will skip one day, if it's 90 minutes long I will skip two days, and so on.
The playthrough will take about the same amount of time on the calendar regardless of which option you choose. The question is basically, do you want the content to be delivered chopped up but consistent, or intact but scattered?
