#HIVESWAP XEFROS ROOM TRIAL#

#HIVESWAP XEFROS ROOM TRIAL#

Starting in the absolutely packed Rust Car, in which we find Skylla worrying about her sick lusus, to the relationship and interpersonal issues the Quadrant system has to offer in the Gold-Olive car, leading into a whole trial case with Teals and Jades, the high-class aritstocratic bullshit of the bluebloods, and finally, reaching the Clown Car. Joey gets a crash course in all of the unfairness and bullshit Alternia has to offer, divided neatly by castes, in the course of a couple of hours. Well, Xefros actually says it better than I could during the game. Once we get to the station, and particularly, the train. I know that this is a speculation and theorizing post, buuuut I also know that there was a lot of Charun and Zebede cut content, and at least two cutscenes, and I feel this is something that's less 'lore' and more 'behind the scenes', so I will refrain from speculating whether it was a time problem, or something different. Until you actually arrive to the station, there's not that much, mostly because, Charun and Zebede's hives are empty. Seriously, forget dialog trees, this thing is a dialog forest depending of who you talk when and what items you choose for various parts, and how much dialog you're seeking out on any given run.ДЄnd let me start addressing the elephant in the room, yeah the initial part doesn't have much. Let's actually talk about Hiveswap.Д¬ontinuing right where Act 1 left off, Act 2 spans from Joey and Xefros leaving of Outglut, to their boarding on a Train towards Jeevik Island, where they will be meeting Cridea and Fiamet, two Trolls that seem to know what's going on, and their shenanigans in said Train as they attempt to get to the front.ДЄnd let me tell you, Act 1 was good, but Act 2? It may be the more mature rating, that allows them to get away with more jokes and more references to how fucked up Alternia is in general, but this game is really fucking hilarious! There's a smaller variety of item interactions- And items to get, for that matter, but the witty writing and the multiple choices you get I feel more than make up for this. And hey, if you'd like to see me play the entirety of the game, I streamed it and the VODs are up on Youtube for you to consume, while dealing with my mumbling and accent! Neat!Д«ut that's enough rambling. Of course, a warning, there will be spoilers for the entirety of Act 2 below! But that was probably obvious. So I guess this is what this Essay is gonna amount to, right? A few thoughts, a few theories, just a bunch of interesting things I've got in my mind, and ideas where things may be headed next! Nah, I was super excited to play it, and I loved every second of it! And through the story, new tid-bits of where Hiveswap may be heading towards were revealed, questions were raised, and I, for one, am ecstastic to have a whole new game to sink my teeth into regarding theories and new Alternian Lore. Really good! There were some issues here and there, people've talked about them ad nauseum, and I am not here to throw my two cents on the criticism.

Hoo boy I just can't go on a single Essay without bringing discourse in can I? Sorry about that.Д«ut yes! Hiveswap Act 2 is out, and you know what? It was.

Hey there! Hiveswap Act 2 actually came out! Who would've thunk, huh? I'll refrain on doing any jokes about the delay, because honestly they never were really funny to begin with, and became even less funny when people started using them to harass the WP Team on Twitter.
