the new video game look at the reviews

Everyone loves it people are saying cuphead is a pretty challenging game, but I just have one

simple

question

Is it

just

like Dark Souls

The whole meme with Dark Souls of ga- shooters or Dark Souls of puzzles

Dark Souls meets Firewatch. Crash Bandicoot has become Dark Souls.

The Dark Souls of space.

Breath of the Wild is a little bit like Dark Souls. Every game is like Dark Souls

Oh man let's go to my favorite video game journalist website polygon to find out cup editor repetition of

being difficult

it

Isn't the Dark Souls

of 2D shooters?

Oh really

Polygon turns out you're wrong because I have done a little bit of

Journalistic work myself. I have found some evidence to show, uh, else-wise

This is the footage of

A games journalists, which I'm not gonna name who apparently spent 25 years

writing for games and

This is him playing the tutorial. I absolutely love the art direction of this game. It is incredible

You know he can't seem to make this jump that you know I haven't played the game myself

So I don't know

But maybe you were seeing it already it kind of went viral just because of how god-awful

it is. I'm a huge fan of 1920's, 1930's

animation cartoons

It's something that I used on my channel in the past is like a mid segue. It just has such a warm

endearing feeling to it attached to it and

just the style and attention to detail is just incredible and

Seeing how well they implemented that in this game, you know it's an original idea to do that make that concept into a game

But you can tell that they really put effort into details and making that possible

He did it

Thank God. In his defense he tweeted out, "spoken by someone who hasn't played it

Yet, do me a favor and capture your first honest 26 minutes". Okay. It's time to do this

What you are about to witness is the first 26 minutes of PewDiePie playing cuphead.

unedited

raw footage

Because I've got stuff to do today, and I haven't got time to edit it. I'm sorry. I'm honestly a little nervous

Maybe it is actually difficult.

Okay here we go it is the tutorial all right. Okay? Okay?

Oh my god - I didn't even know I had to press shift. It was so intuitive

Oh my god wait wait wait wait no no he used a controller

Maybe it's more difficult

I don't mean to sound like an elitist or whatever if people are bad, at games. I couldn't care less, but if you're writing reviews

About games how can anyone trust what you're saying when you clearly never bother to play a game

properly

How can you struggle with this you don't even have to press the direction...

I love it, this game is so pretty

Hey, you know what? This game is just like 'legend of the brofist'! You can buy stuff?

Oh my god, that's so cool. Extra hit points? Okay.

I love everything from the music to just how they they die and they explode or whatever so cool.

Guess this is my first 26 honest

Honest minutes

It's pretty challenging, not gonna lie

Surprised I made it this far.

I Must, I must be extremely lucky look at these skills. I haven't even played 25 years

I played more like

22

Got them

What the heck, oh wait these are the ones that I can parry, i forgot. I thought they're enemies

Did I just take damage? In Dark Souls, it doesn't work like that

Oh look at it. Did the jumpy

My god seriously what the heck this game is impossible

No

Are you kidding me, I was so clo... The whole thing?

You best be joking

Fine you know what fine I died on first level okay everyone needs to chill

What the hecker is this

There you go look at that look at those skills left and right

Oh my god

Why did I go for the coin?

I was right at the end you know what you know what yes the game is hard, whatever

Shit this is really embarrassing there's things everywhere chill fam

Hey look yes look at that how long did that take me 26 minutes? hell yeah

Gimme that A+, Gimmie that A+

Come on A+, I'm an a-plus gamer, everyone knows it, A+, a --

This game is just like Dark Souls. That's the only

Well that could have been that could have been really embarrassing

What

Is this a boss?

So I think originally this game was supposed to be just like a boss game or whatever

But it received so much attention that they wanted to make it into a full game

Which I'm glad they did, this reminds of Sonic so much. this game is just like Dark Souls Sonic Edition

Does thing ever die? Or.. ow.

Okay fine whatever, whatever zero deaths, okay that doesn't count

Shi- oh god.

What the hell that it make no sense

You know what, fine I don't want to play the stupid boss anyway stupid games stupid whatever this game is whatever. Okay, shut up

What do we have here?

The thing is that I remember with old games they all used to be hard like back in the day

I never was able to finish so many of the games that I played like Donkey Kong Country or whatever

But that doesn't mean I enjoyed it less I think nowadays when developers have so much statistics on everything they know exactly

If a person finished the game or not what places they died more on

It just created this attitude that everyone has to be able to finish the game otherwise,

It's not a good game, when that's not necessarily true at all

That is just my little thought about

difficulty in games. This boss is insane dude look so cool.

Are we fighting the Illuminati carrot?

'Cause if so, I am turned on

Hey, it's a knockout first right just zero deaths zero deaths just like Dark Souls, just like a dark soul

Give me that A+ fam

But you have to parry three times to get - what?- all

The five skill level

Skill level, look at that skill level. I knew I was gonna love it before I played it but goddamn

I love it. Damn you gotta have at least godlike reflexes to deal with this boss

I'm guessing I have to shoot these

Oh, No

What is happening what do I do?

Well that one's hard, dude. You never know what's gonna happen- Ok we're good. Oh what the hell oh my god

What am I doing?

I think I have to parry it? Oh okay there we go.

What do I get a frog? I got a frog, excellent. whoa!

Whoa whoa hey hey hey

Noooooooooo

So cool! Come on. Give me something good

Tiger oh

wow

Oh my lor- oh my GAH! ah!

Yeah

another one

No, are you kidding me?

Die at the easy bit I guess I have to do it three times

But man, I can't this is hard

It goes faster! My tempo is off- hey I did it

Last one- STUPID COIN!

Come on stupid game!

Give me a challenge please

Oh game a little hard. The game is too hard

None of my god damn boys. Gimme the balls. I don't even know how these work

Over!

It's a knockout everybody, zero deaths, zero! Just like journalists have zero skills.

My Gah! look at that first try, that was my first try look at that. What do you mean I didn't parry?

What do you mean? Why do I have to parry? That was ten out of ten, baby!

Get outta here. How do I parry seriously? I don't know how to parry I never parry in games. Okay? I never do it

Really another boss dude, how many bosses are there?

How'd I die? Oh, I have to defend the

Okay all right okay? How do I get rid of it? I got a parry them right?

Oh I see. Buh-tam! Buh-tam!

Don't touch! Don't touch!

But I did parry three times didn't I? This is just like tennis, you know you go, and then you go back you go and then

Victory first try everybody, first try. Thank you. I defended the earth just like Dark Souls

Oh boy! You know that's the only thing the game is missing the iconic voice acting

I I think I could do a good job at it

Oh boy! Ohhhh boy! Hey Pluto!

Hey Pluto we gotta get the coins! Oh boy this- oh boy. This game is just like Dark Souls.

I love the game, I think it's so fun

I can't wait to just play more

But we're gonna end that episode there. Now should anyone be shamed for being bad at games absolutely not

But should a game be judged differently because it's difficult

Get out of here

Go home, then you don't understand man. Difficult games aren't just there to make it challenging

It's to make it rewarding when you beat it isn't that obvious?

Maybe that's obvious but it really doesn't seem like it when you see every single news outlet

compare difficult games to Dark Souls because that's all that matters.

Have you guys read 'All you need is Kill'?

It's a manga based on sort of the same concept.

That every time the... the guy isn't very good at fighting, you know.

But every time he dies he gets to try again

And then again and again and again and soon he becomes like this master of the same war scenario

And it's the same thing with games

You know you not you don't necessarily have to make it at the first try and then by the end of it

You're you're a master of that level and you complete it perfectly and you get that sense of

hell yeah, I learned something I became better at something

And that's what the fun is.

Anyway, that's Cuphead for you leave a like if you enjoy watching squad fam out
