Cuphead - starring 30s visuals and 3 hours of jazz

The game is hard but what really helped was changing the controls. Wish we could play online tho
 
This game is insanely amazingly good.

Also wow, journos are going to have the time of their life with that level of challenge. This game isn't pussyfooting around, it's Contra level hard but with nearly instant restart. Fucking delicious.

Still, I'm dreading what gawker bloggers are gonna slap on this. It's a work of art, and it would genuinely be a damn shame if the devs were cheated out of their well-earned pay by a bunch of goofs who can't process pressing two buttons at the same time.
 
Loving cuphead at the moment. I'm on the second world and completed a few there as well (the sugar princess, the bird and the run n gun circus).

What i really love is how well the art style marries so well with the audio. That unique sounding narrator saying "a brawl is surely brewing" before you go head-to-head always puts a smile on my face. For about 5 seconds, until i consistently say "fuck", "cunt" and "fucking cunt".

It can be a shame when someone has to ruin it simply because we've progressed very far in what controls a game should have. I remember when this was the norm, and I'm glad for Cuphead at least getting respect from the community for at least living up to the hype and fun gameplay.
 
I just beat Cuphead, I'd say that it's about a medium difficulty with two or three bosses that really bring the pain.
This. Not hard you just need to git gud. Beat it on the one version and I'm playing the pc version rn with a pro controller. Anyway to assign the enter key to the controller or are you guys playing this with a keyboard?

I recommend the charge blast projectile and the 3-way spread shot for the later bosses. The charge shot does major damage while the spread shot can take care of enemy projectiles at close range.
 
Any tips on how to properly time the parries in this game?
 
You have to hit the button just before you touch the pink thing, it's very precise.
Alright then, guess i'll try and practice the timing in a safe environment till I get it down properly.
 
alright bought this at full price, which is something i never do because i've wanted to save that cash for other shit, but i gotta see how hard this game is, and if it's worth it's 20 buck price.

i also wanted to bring this up:

well i couldnt do this game. controls were confusing, no matter what i used, keyboard or controller, i tried changing controls to fit how i play, but in the end, it just didnt work out. i was about as good as dean takahashi when i played this.

I find using the D-pad feels better than using the stick, don't worry about not latching onto the controls right away, it's something you just have to spend some time getting used to. What part seems to be the hardest for you? I heard some people put the dash on left bumper and fire on the right and moved the gun switch and lock-on to the face buttons.

Really went to town there!

Some people just don't get it!

Speaking of getting it, this guy has the RIGHT IDEA!

Really, this is perfect!
 
I've played it and it's not that hard. I've play NES games that are harder.
NES games are ridiculously hard though. I played a few recently on the Switch and they're so hard it's almost like they don't want me to have fun, it's just challenge for the sake of challenge and it's not even fair.

If Cuphead is anything like that than thank you for letting me know to stay away.
