CUPHEAD
« on: September 25, 2017, 06:57:54 PM »
It's finally here!
CUPHEAD CUPHEAD CUPHEAD

as a fan of 1930s cartoons I am all over this shit it is so good omg yes yes CUPHEAD

http://store.steampowered.com/app/268910/Cuphead/

it's been delayed so long because of the whiners who didn't want a boss rush style game so they added run and gun levels.. I hope the delay was worth it and that those people complaining about only bosses put their money where their mouth is...

CUPHEAD

I just like saying CUPHEAD guys

I can't help but expect that the slapped together levels that the engine wasn't designed for are going to degrade the experience.

I love the art style and it looks pretty fun. But I'm also broke and my backlog is so huge. I'll probably get it some time down the line.

I worry about this too but at the same time they delayed it and took their time with it to make it right.. it's not like they stuffed 'em in there and then released it a month or two later...

in short.. I believe.. in CUPHEAD

i was interested in the idea of a boss rush game, but none of the boss fights they showed ever seemed all that mechanically interesting tbh, and now they've changed the game to a platformer with a world map and stuff? idk it seems likely that it's gonna end up being a nice looking HiDef retro styled game without much else going on. shout out to wayforward fans getting something else to eat tho  :doge

This game looks good in terms of visuals from what I've seen and little else. Bosses have repetitive patterns yet live forever. The animation seems to be the one defining good thing about it. No wonder there's hype surrounding it. Here's hoping the final game is better.

Unless I read some scathing review from someone I trust I currently see it as the kind of 'style over substance' novelty that despite some reservations I'm still thinking will be be a decent experience.

It's so unique I can't help but appreciate it.

Little confused by these reviews. My gut could've been wrong, but every example I've seen of the platform levels looks devoid of any kind of imaginative of level design and bland as all fuck.

I just watched some on youtube.

I coached a dude who was having trouble on a boss on how to beat it. :lol

I mean, the patterns are way more diverse now and stuff, but it's just a boss rush game? That's wack. He goes to another stage and it's just another boss.

When I think of an entire stage that's nothing but a boss rush, I think of this tbh. :idont


A lot of the comments were talking about how it was the Dark Souls of platformers and I was left with a mix of amusement and rage. Fuck Dark Souls. So far the bosses look static on one screen. Anything like Seven Force in this?

I mean, it doesn't look bad. I might give it a whirl eventually.

It was always a boss focused game, they only added a few run & gun levels after people whined.. my only complaint about it is that yeah it's not really a boss "rush" in that each stage is its own boss, but it helps to be able to repeat the boss quickly to learn its patterns.. hopefully after you beat the game you get a true boss rush/alien soldier mode... I've only done the first world.

the devs have said its 75% bosses and 25% run n gun...

Otherwise it plays like contra, the visuals and music is fantastic and there are other mini-game type modes that get you super arts to use. also a lot of customization

the game is glorious

Just got this game and I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

It's the type of game where I play for a bit, get pissed off and rage quit.

And then start back up 5 mins later.

Watched a few streams this past weekend. It's a lot more "bullet hell" then I thought it would be. I doubt I'll play it, as I'm not good at those games and don't have the patience to push through difficult parts.

That artwork is absolutely amazing though. It really reminded me of 16 bit era games, where the graphics of the levels were the reward for pushing on.

The game does feel better than I was expecting but I just have zero desire to play anymore after 5-ish hours. 7.0 gameplay with beautiful aesthetics and 10/10 art design.

Queen mentioned Gunstar Heroes and honestly I have more desire to replay that than do more of this.
