    • Fun fact: writing is much more important to journalism than being good at video games. You don't have to be good at sports to be a good sports journalist. And you certainly don't have to be good at one game marketed on its difficulty (a game that actually loses a lot and becomes a lesser single player experience because of its difficulty, no less) to be a good journalist/reviewer. That's like saying a food journalist is bad because they've never had that one pufferfish dish with the death.

  • I think the best part about this is that most people, after experimenting with the controls and discovering the air dash, would have figured out the "jump from a high point and dash for lateral movement" within seconds. And that would be without the blatant instructions written on the walls here. I know this because I've seen a toddler who can't read figure this shit out.

  • I get that tutorials in games can sometimes be a challenge if the tutorial isn't clear about what the player needs to do or if it requires very tight timing with actions but this isn't one of those cases in my opinion. The game provides simple problems for the player and includes not only what buttons needs to be pressed but also provides a short explanation of the action. I get that sometimes getting action correctly can take a few tries. Perhaps the character fell faster than expected and you were late to dash or the game reacted to the button press with a delay. These are things we may need to give a few tries so we can adjust our timing to what the game expects from us. Also, here the game is teaching the player one step at a time. It's not like a 3D combat tutorial with 10+ actions to figure out while trying to ignore how the Y-axis camera isn't what you prefer and you have no access to the menu during the tutorial to change it.

And we know this because he records what he's saying, and he says what he's thinking. What this guy was thinking will forever be a mystery. Did he know what he was supposed to do what is just really bad at it ? Was he completely oblivious to the obvious solution and just a very confused. Did he think that he just miss something? Do he think that if he did what the things were in in the background said if the pillar would just disappear? Was he angry? Did being angry get him in a cycle of failure? Was he not even paying attention? Was he on his phone half playing the game not taking his job seriously? Or did he fail a couple times, think it would be really funny if he purposely kept messing up? did he purposely mess up because he knew that it would frustrate people and get people talking about the article? There's so much information we simply aren't going to get. The inner machinations of this individual's mind will forever be an enigma, an unsolvable mystery.

    • There's a bit you can extrapolate from his actions. My guess is he thought you could double jump for some reason, judging by his constant parry attempts. The guy also has a history of being pretty stubborn and unwilling to adapt, so if he thinks something should work, he'll try again and again constantly until his patience wears thin, hence why he never bothered to read the instructions. His incompetence has also been well documented, so this definitely isn't an intentional goof.

I bet it sounded something like “Although they did promise this game would be really hard, I wasn’t expecting how far they’d go with this. For a tutorial, they made it tough as nails to pass. I bet it was harder than the hardest dark souls dark souls boss. A tutorial is meant to get you into game but for Cuphead, not even the smartest person could get past this. I had to keep trying and trying and trying to get it right until I got past it. The only reason I got past because I just was really lucky. So far, Cuphead is a 1 out of 10, as in they don’t have good difficulty balance, and didn’t care about fairness and only cared about if the game was impossible.”

  • I know a few gaming journos around Quebec City and Montreal. The main issue the profession has is that you don't really start as a gamer; you start your journalism career as a writer. Then you land yourself a few reporting gigs, someone from the Tech section notices you sophomorically futzing around with a handheld, and figures "'Hey, that guy looks like a gamer! I'll ask him about writing a games review column every X days!" So you end up with a guy who has bigger headlines to cover (mergers and acquisitions, prototypes, breakthroughs in consumer tech, etc) who *maybe* has a few hours a month to begrudgingly put on a game he might not even be interested in. This is the end result. Dean Takahashi cannot pass Cuphead's tutorial level because he has no professional incentive to do so. He doesn't need to be informative; he just needs to produce a take that can be integrated in his site's publishing queue on time. He doesn't need to be good at the game - and doesn't even need to *care*. Of course, the opposite end is GameSpot, where you sort of get the sense that there's some work that's been actually done, but that it's all swallowed by the need to give the tentpole releases the exact kinds of big scores that'll keep the site afloat in sponsorships. In-between, you've got a lot of KZheadrs and smaller vloggers - and this is where I'd say you find honest, workable and valuable games criticism.

    • Holy shit, precisely this. Don’t get me wrong, the gameplay here can still be questionable, but i think so many people who grew up playing games massively overestimate just how much subconscious habits and lessons get engrained into by playing games as a kid. Recently tried to get some friends who really never play video games at all into some that I thought they’d enjoy, and whilst I made a conscious effort to be as explanatory as possible, often the parts that confused them most, or had them stumble the most, were aspects I hadn’t even thought about. Things like combining actions like moving and jumping, or even where certain settings where in menus. They aren’t stupid, they just haven’t had these experiences drilled into them at a young age, and I think a lot of people in these comments completely forget that.
