CUPHEAD CUPHEAD CUPHEAD

as a fan of 1930s cartoons I am all over this shit it is so good omg yes yes 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 heard it was hard, no thank you.

I heard it was hard, no thank you.

the soundtrack makes me hard, that's for sure:

[AdmiralViscen]

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

[Valkyrie]

Fuck yeah, I don't care how bad it turns out to be.

[Positive Touch]

eh

[toku]

i care but im also broke atm

[Yeti]

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

Looks amazing. The graphics I mean.

Gameplay looks like complete garbage.

When I played it two years ago it was pretty horrendous. I'm really interested to see how it turned out.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Looks like shit.

[Brehvolution]

The Cruncheon's talked about this and that was hundreds of years ago.

[chronovore]

Im In, but not immediately. The backlog, it burns.

[ToxicAdam]

I'll just watch streamers play it and never touch the game, but have perfectly formed internet opinions on it.

Gaming in 2017

[Positive Touch]

u mad ta?

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 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

The little I've seen of it looks like bullet sponge bullshit.  No thanks.

[Himu]

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.

[Jenkem]

this game is getting good reviews despite the haters in this very topic!

[Himu]

Good reviews from game reviewers doesn't mean shit.

[Coax]

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.

[demi]

No online co-op, don't care

Worked for sonic mania.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

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.

[Himu]

I just watched some on youtube.

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

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.


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.

[Dickie Dee]

Looks cool AF. No Xbone though and my PC is shite right now 

[Trent Dole]

The game's system reqs aren't that high.

OS: 7
Processor: Intel Core2 Duo E8400, 3.0GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, 3.0GHz or higher
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: Geforce 9600 GT or AMD HD 3870 512MB or higher
DirectX: Version 9.0
Storage: 20 GB available space

I bet my deadass laptop from a few years back could run this.

[Human Snorenado]

Will buy on a Steam sale in a year and never play

I'd be buying it for PS4, but that'll be in a year after their timed exclusive runs up.

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

(no bias)

[benjipwns]

I heard it was hard, no thank you.

I saw a forum thread title on a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers that referenced something from the internet, so double no thanks.

It'll be BTA in an indie bundle in 6 months. In a year it'll be $1 tier.

[Raist]

"The Dark Souls of X" triggers me.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Should be "The Demon's Souls of X" for fuck's sake.

HERESY

[Valkyrie]

I heard it was hard, no thank you.

But it looks like the fun kinda hard. Did you ever play VVVVV?

[Jenkem]

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.

[ToxicAdam]

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.

[brob]

idk if iconoclast still posts here but he made a video of all the boss fights, he also said the game was really fun and that's a pretty good endorsement imo

[demi]

I bought it just now. IDK when I'll get to it, I'm sure there will be a patch or two

[Joe Molotov]

This game has some good animation (that's English for anime).

[agrajag]

Game looks amazing

[team filler]

Reminds me of Plok

[Jenkem]

the fucking king dice section

 

[demi]

charge shot is getting the hot nerf, better get in before then

[seagrams hotsauce]

They nerf shit in asymmetrical platformers now?

[chronovore]

They nerf shit in asymmetrical platformers now?

I like that this sentence wouldn’t have made any sense 30 years ago.

[Atramental]

[Let's Cyber]

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.

This is probably back there in this thread somewhere, but it was new to me.
