Cuphead Hands On - The Brighter, Happier 'Dark Souls' of Platform Shooters | COGconnected

COGconnected - Cuphead has gained quite the reputation in the lead-up to its release for being an extremely challenging game. Spoiler - it's a well-deserved reputation.

THIS GAME IS NOTHING LIKE DARK SOULS YOU STUPID IDIOT

[Trekster_Gamer]

I think it is you who are being stupid.
They're comparing it to Dark Souls whereas how hard the game is nothing else!

[PlayableGamez-]

So every game that is challenging is comparable to Dark Souls?
Cuphead is a throwback to challenging 90s platformers. Not Dark Souls.
It's silly how every game that is hard in the 2010s is now DS.

Although i dont agree with namecalling i share your sentiments cy

[walruskiller]

Please, stop comparing every difficult game to dark souls.

[iDadio]

Especially given the fact that Demons souls is where it started, Dark souls was more popular but also so much easier.

Lol... it's not a full comparison you whiny twits! It's become a simple way (shorthand even) to explain that a game is challenging without trying to stuff a bunch of extra words into a header. Almost used as a colloquialism more than anything else.

And why take it so damn personal? Lol

I just checked the dictionary, and I found more adjectives than "Dark souls" which mean difficult.

[iDadio]

Using those won't get you the clicks though

[DivineAssault]

This looks really cool

[iDadio]

It reminds me of Mickey Mouse and the castle of illusion, not in terms of difficulty just the colours and style.

when is this coming out on my phone

[Yohshida]

"Urhg, I died, must be dark souls like"

Just because the game isnt stripped down like every other AAA game to cater to everyone, doesnt mean its dark souls

[FallenAngel1984]

Oh god quit comparing everything to Dark Souls
