This game is so unforgiving!

LucianoThePig Yeah. I thought that’s what the whole show was about?

Arnt we all?

No he's just British. Which means he can only express his emotions through sarcasm.

He says that, but then he writes an entire review that doesn't really say anything negative about the game. Who is this new Yahtzee?

We wouldn't be here if you weren't yatzee

This needs to be top comment. Sincerely, a brit.

*A guy dies and his tombstone attacks me, a woman turns into a crescent moon, a man with a dice as his head eats me* Okay... *Straw in teacup* REAL SHIT

Eduardo Elric like who the fuck drink hot tea with a straw?

Eduardo Elric something I didn't even consider

My Hentai Girl But Cuphead's cup-head isn't even filled with tea, it's a mysterious white substance.

Did he actually?

Natey 180, Yes. go check out his book. It's funny as.

Natey 180 it's called jam, and it's amazing. If you like Hitchhiker's Guide, you'll like Jam

Fuck yeah that's awesome, I'll check it out! :D

Evi1M4chine You don't need to get triggered about it dude.

Imagine how horrible it would be to have to experience it a million times before you were allowed to move on. This joke, I mean. Not the tutorial level.

It's the dark souls of tutorials.

right, ask oneyplays

I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter!! Damn.

TBH I had no problem with the tutorial.

you forgot minecraft

Callum Friel Nope he doesn't "like" Titsfuck 2

he put in the top 5 best games of 2016 saying that the campaing is surprisingly good

This comment needs far more likes than it has

Callum Friel You forgot Wind Waker

agreed, since that boss is all the way in Ilse 3

Personally doctor kahls robot is where I’m stick

cuphead is the crash bandicoot of the souls series

Vorake the melancholy alan, is the new Crash Bandicoot rerelease really difficult? I know the old ps1games weren't that hard unless you tried to go for all the gems, but people have been talking up the new one, and I wonder if it's really more difficult.

I always remember Crash Bandicoot as "the game that was so easy and simple that even non-gamer parents liked it".

EarlnEarl the comment was meant to be ironic but retrospectively I can see that may not have been properly conveyed. I don't think either of these games are that much like dark souls at all.

@EarlnEarl The PS1 Crash game is probably the most difficult 3d children's platforming game ever made (you were younger and probably had way more free time and focus to beat it so you remember it like it was easy). Crash 1 was NES hard, required precision and memorization for the entirety of the game. Crash 2 toned it down and focused the difficulty only on optional stuff and Crash 3 had a bunch of different (and easy) playstyles so that it evened out with the harder Crash-centric levels. Still compared to all other platforming games like Spyro, Mario, Gex etc - Crash was ball-bustingly hard.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised. Yahtzee is very positive. Listen to his review of... well Dark Souls and that one Zelda, but I digress! Even in games he dislikes he occasionally throws out the off complement. You’re probably too busy laughing hysterically to have heard those few iotas of positivity.

After all the positivity Cuphead has gotten, I was hoping it would be negative.

Diogenes the drunk it tastes like strawberries.

CupHead is a really good game with an amazing (if fucking creepy) art style and perfect animation, so even Yahtzee can't help but love it.

He has to be positive about it, it kicked the British out of his accent on the live stream and he asked for another helping. hashTag wordPlay

Thank you

Not all heroes wear capes.

The internet needs more people like you.

Asher Flanagan Thank you! You saved me the time to look up elegiac in the dictionary.

So basically The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe?

RenewAgain fuck me! You got hella word money!

Well, now I know _two_ new words.

It's a perfectly cromulent word!

Now you're just acting transcendent.

My lexicon is expanding

Not a chance. Those games have had their launch and are just done.

Overwatch is garbage too.

Or just cause 2

What about undertale

You don't watch a lot of Yahtzee's videos do you?

What is this "Zer Punctuation"?

It is what they call, a typoo

Fenrir Baldur the context was if Portal 2 was better than Portal 1

StrikeWarlock How could that be the context when portal 2 wasn't even thought of yet? He said in his orange box review that portal was sublime and that he would jab forks in his eyes if he ever said that about another game. The context was that portal was a perfect game with no criticisms....in his opinion.

Fenrir Baldur I mean, he basically said dark souls is perfect.

Cuphead is far from perfect. First and foremost, the game has severe pacing issues. Secondly, while the game excels at visual variety, it is quite lacking in gameplay variety even on a fundamental level. Thirdly, the difficulty curve is extremely inconsistent (usually dependent on how many randomized variables are introduced in a single fight). Fourthly, randomized variables do not mix well with fixed attack patterns and the game often puts the player in situations where it is very unlikely (sometimes even impossible) to not take damage. On top of that, the progress meter can be very deceptive in some circumstances. Also, the weapons, items, and even some of the game mechanics are poorly balanced (but that is just a minor issue). POSITIVE: On the other hand, Cuphead does have the best art direction that I have ever seen in a video game.

You mean playing the tutorial

In that regard, I’d say the first question is whether the boss is actually easier than Isle 1, or if you’ve just gotten a lot better. But yeah Werner Werman is a bit of a pushover relative to his placement. Also, I’d say King Dice only feels harder than the Devil because of the length. Because of how the game works, King Dice requires such a constant amount of skill and concentration with little rest in each attempt, and an S-rank time can be as long as about 10 minutes!

The Cup Souls of Darkhead.

Oh no

Now I'm curious.

Hexerin Null Care to elaborate?

Image seems to be in the Toy Hall of Fame, but not seeing anything else on that image of a stick.

Milk tea is a thing

I am pretty sure it's moonshine.

Adude601 they did, but I think Yahtzee got bored and decided to kill everyone manhunt style.

there used to be other creators who were hosted by escapist, but yahtzee is the only one who still makes content for them. i'm fairly certain that yahtzee can't get away from them for legal reasons, and even so, he seems to see the partnership with escapist as a positive thing regardless, so i doubt he would bother to put in the legal effort necessary to leave escapist any time soon.

Adude601 You've been waiting a week longer then seeing as this review was uploaded to the Escapist website last Wednesday lol.

Terastas Cuphead is far from perfect. First and foremost, the game has severe pacing issues. Secondly, while the game excels at visual variety, it is quite lacking in gameplay variety even on a fundamental level. Thirdly, the difficulty curve is extremely inconsistent (usually dependent on how many randomized variables are introduced in a single fight). Fourthly, randomized variables do not mix well with fixed attack patterns and the game often puts the player in situations where it is very unlikely (sometimes even impossible) to not take damage. On top of that, the progress meter can be very deceptive in some circumstances. Also, the weapons, items, and even some of the game mechanics are poorly balanced (but that is just a minor issue). NOTE: All of the issues I just named are not apparent in Dark Souls. In fact, everything you said about Dark Souls is simply not true. It makes me question if you have even played the game or if you are just shaming from ignorance. For example, if you played Dark Souls you would know that the bosses all have very consistent and recognizable attack patterns. You would also know that the environment is designed around the player’s movement abilities, even allowing the player to take advantage of the environment. Lastly, you would know that Dark Souls doesn’t even allow the player to stock up on healing items, so how can you “only beat the bosses by stocking up on healing items”? On the other hand, Cuphead does have the best art direction that I have ever seen in a video game. However, the design of Dark Souls is unquestionably better than Cuphead in almost every regard. The game design of Cuphead really feels like an amateur project which is in strong opposition to the fantastic art. The only thing that Cuphead does better than Dark Souls is player training.

Environment designed around the player's movement? What, you mean like the Capra Demon? I never said Cuphead was perfect. But it is a game that is everything it is deliberately and with consideration for the player. Every single boss can be defeated without the use of power-ups. I know this because I'm only two S-ranks away from proving it. Like I said: Cuphead wants you to feel like a winner. Dark Souls wants you to feel like its bitch.

James Reginald Mitchell IV everyone knows the best way to game is to own a ps4 and a half decent pc? at least for this game you dont need a gaming pc

I mean, you can run it on pretty much any PC. Maybe not an i486 IBM from the late 80s, but anything newer should run it.

Megman has shit platfomring exacerbated by the incoherent physics of every hit knocking you three pixels back from where you're facing and then dropping you straight down, though.

It's actually Contra.

megaman doesnt have a spreadgun

it's the dark souls of mario games

Actually you're mega man
