its the citizen kane of dark souls tutorial platformers
also skyrim with handguns

that guy really should be fired

You wouldn't fire a movie review critic because he can't make a movie

you can though if he's blind

You can if he doesnt understand how movies are made

Wait this guy made the game?

just because you know how a game is made doesnt mean you know how to play it. i now all the ingredients and requirements that go into making a cake but i have never made one successfully

What reviewer was this?

reviews for movie, songs and foods only need to you experience the medium and nothing more.

Its different when you are reviewing tools, cars, games, tech, art/make up products. With those you at least have to have some proficiency with what you are reviewing. It surprises me to see anyone on Sup Forums defending this, how many fucking times have we've seen games get points deducted for being "too hard" or "confusing"?

Well let's say he's reviewing a tool, something you have to know how yo use. Then he would be fired if he couldn't use the tool despite being reviewer. You would have to know how to use the tool and use it well. Same applies to video games or anything you have to interact with.

Holy shit

Fired for what, you fucking retard? This guy literally made the whole fucking internet talk about his video and the game that nobody fucking cared about. This guy was probably promoted. Only braindead people think that this shit is made by accident. They did it with nu doom and received the same viral effect. Probably some bearded guy with a crooked nose is smiling in his office, while retarded kids continue to discuss this bait video.

There is no way this is real. He must have been trolling or just trying to be funny. I refuse to believe that, not just a game journalist (I couldn't care less about those) but a human being is this fucking dense.

A book reviewer must be capable of reading and understanding the themes of the book. A movie critic must be capable of watching and understanding the film. A video game reviewer must be capable of playing and understanding the game.

Video games are a medium where you must interact with them, like how books are a medium where you must read them and films are a medium where you must watch them. If you are incapable of reading, you can't review a book. If you are incapable of watching, you can't review a film. If you are incapable of playing, you can't review a game.

>Retards still trust gaming journalism and scores knowing full well this is how they've been playing games for the past decade.

what kind of a low iq piece of shit was playing that webm.

>review a car
>burn the clutch out trying to pull away, finally realising the handbrake was on the whole time
>write a bad review for the car because it was too hard to drive

Head of some game reviewing group.

>playing games is to game critics as making movies is to movie critics

I think this is officially the worst analogy ever presented on Sup Forums. And it's not even a food analogy. Bravo!

I would fire a movie critic for not being able to watch a movie.

what's the cuphead of dark souls games?

when your webm goes places

whos the failure that responsible of this

No that guy is just the ibuypower of platformer players

I'm really fuckin jazzed here. He's a cup. Why does he shoot god damn lazers out of his fingers? It should be whatever liquid is in his head. And like it could change color depending on powerups, like brown for soda or whatever. What fucking mong put this dumb shit together?

I would fire a lousy movie review critic that doesn't speak the language of the country he's employed in and only knows how to say "yes" and "good."

...

How long are people going to milk this video

kek

People keep saying that and ignore games that are literally "Dark Souls, but a Platformer"

When did notch join the speed-running circuit?
He's certainly got the requisite autism

Stop posting this in every thread that involves this webm. It's a terrible analogy.

...

Momodora is not a hard game user

No, but you would if he couldn't WATCH a movie.

Everyone is discussing the tutorial, but the rest of those 26 minutes is even worse.

A better analogy would have been a sports commentator. You don't need to be able to play professional football to call out someone's fuck up

>dark souls: the platformer
I gotcha senpai

>SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MARIO AND DARK SOULS
GAMING JOURNALISM BOYS

This is porn isn't it?

It does have gay furry porn in it yes.

Well if a game is more on the complicated spectrum it gets branded autistic around these parts.

link?

There's porn in it if that's what you're asking.

At the same time, you wouldn't trust some pasty nerd who has never even touched a football to tell you how a given play should've gone.

Plenty of people can tell you why a thing is bad but a professional should be able to do it constructively based on their own experience within the field, if only to hep the person improve next time an event like that were to happen.

When will you people fucking get over this? Your obsession with games journalists is downright creepy.

look up "My 26 minutes of shame on cuphead"

>Calling everything with bad game design "the Dark Souls of [X]" like Crash Bandicoot and its fucked hitboxes

No but you would fire him if he was blind.

It doesn't even have anything to do with Mario since it plays like Contra.

Aside from inpossibly hard tutorial, is the game any good? I like how it looks, but don't know about the gameplay, since it doesn't have a demo I think.
Also, how's the length, is there any replayability or cool unlocks?

>using the biggest buzzword (game design) in gaming
Fuck off and use a term that actually means something

18 years of videogame coverage

in his defense he played this at the convention and he probably had limited time.
and the game doesn't look like something you can autopilot through like he tried to do.

-he obviously isn't familiar with the genre
-he definitely underestimated the game

you know when you don't give a shit and just blaze through a level as quickly as possible?
yeah, the moment in the OP was stupid, but the rest of the playthrough looked like that to me.

>implying the guy who couldn't even beat the first level knows about more games than just mario, zelda and dark souls

t. Dean Takahashi

>you know when you don't give a shit and just blaze through a level as quickly as possible?

He's being paid to cover the game for his outlet, he should show some goddamn enthusiasm and give some goddamn effort.

>you know when you don't give a shit and just blaze through a level as quickly as possible?
Yeah, last time I tried that I played the same level for 26 minutes and failed to complete it.

Do you like games like Metal Slug and Contra? If yes, you may give it a go.

>dashed at the 12 second mark
>didn't put two and two together

EIGHTEEN YEAR """""""""VETERAN"""""""""

As a marketing stunt, these fags should release the tutorial as a demo and have a speedrun leaderboard for it.

Rider, not this again!

You're reaching pretty hard here, this guy couldn't do a basic jump + dash, I don't exactly think that's a large threshold to cross unless you're complete garbage at video games or have just never played one.

Which normally is whatever but the guy in charge of a GAMING journalism group should probably know how to preform basic commands in a video game.

The guy's twitter is him talking about nothing but shitty mobile games. Looks like that is his only real experience

Jokes aside, he's actually been a big donor to GDQs for years. Every so often through the week he'll drop a few thousand bucks, and it's funny how awkward it's gotten since he started acting like an absolute madman on Twitter which made a certain crowd at GDQ hate him.

That would be fucking amazing, but you know they won't so they don't burn their bridge with Venturebeat.

everyone blaming the poor guy when in reality its just a shitty tutorial for a shitty game

>hurr I was just pretending to be retarded

If this guy wanted to become famous for being the town idiot then fine that is his prerogative.

>songs

Jay-Z seems to think otherwise.

But user, it's not the player's fault.

The problem is the design of the tutorial!

jokes on you i was only baiting for (you)s

(((journalists))) are irrelevant these days

>let me clearly keep trying what doesn't work

>mario

coming from the guy who tried to jump on enemies MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER DYING in what is arguably a run and gun game.

proof that US born asians are not real asians

Lmao, he's a tech journalist, not a gamer that's for fucking sure

Which is everyones point in this thread, he is garbage at video games which is extremely ironic when he presents himself as a credible source on video games.
Then you get guys like this guy who try to defend him. This guy makes money of writing reviews for games when he can't even figure out a jump-dash, one of the most basic inputs a game can ask from you.

Imagine some reviewer trying to tell you SM64 is the dark souls of 3D platformers and he can't even double jump or make it to the top of bomb-omb battlefields.

This is literally why games are dumbed down these days, because people are genuinely dumb and can't figure out even the most basic shit.

The game has some really weak sound effects.

This is nonsense though because he wasn't even hitting dash for the longest portion (which it did say to do) and then he kept doing it even though it was clear that it only moved you horizontally not vertically. When he finally put it all together and used the block for height and the dash for length he kept hitting it too late.

So he is undeniably shit. If you need a tutorial to tell you to use the box that is right beside you for extra height after finding that you can't jump high enough on your own, then you would need a tutorial for literally every other jump in the game.

>When he finally put it all together
He asked for help. He put nothing together.

The music is downright obnoxious, it's just some simple 10 second fragment looping again and again. I really hope that it's just because it's a demo, because animation is quite nice.

saved for future use
thank you

I like how this guy keeps mentioning Mario, while the original Super Mario Bros. NES game is probably much harder than Cuphead.

I like how he's still fucking buttmad over it.

Like dude. Just move on.

hes not just bad at video games he is actually just a dribbling retard lacking in real world basic problem solving skills, there will be literal children that play this game and work it out faster than him.

There is nothing wrong with food analogies.

this game is gonna fail unless they get a sound designer.

Like imagine metal slug but replace all the bullet sfx with water balloons. It completely kills the run and gun feel.

i would imagine dean would actually argue that the bird didnt have to do exactly what he had to in the game

Dark souls is the Cuphead of ARPGs.

Unfortunately, I think nothing about the game is going to be at all notable, except for animation.
