Holy trinity of shitty indie games heavily and shamelessly shilled on Sup Forums.

Cupheads a meme game for twitch viewers and you should feel bad putting it in the same thread as knights.

>cuphead
>platformer

CUPHEAD IS NOT INDIE

>He doesn't like Chad's game
Soyboys detected

>thinks that Chad is a good thing

the trinity of mediocre games shilled by media, neogaf, Sup Forums and sub-reddit
name me a better indie than Scarlet Curiosity. You can't

Cuphead is neither an indie game nor a platformer.

Originality is over, bury it

Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight is absolute garbage with some of the worst level design I've seen in a game.

?

b-but the soundtrack

>it has been done before thus it is bad
Do you also knock Shakespeare because Homer also wrote in hexameter? It is not about concept, it is about execution.

Please elaborate.

Rayman Origins is unironically the best platformer ever made (and Legends).

>Play legends
>Last level is a pixelated garbage meme
That's when I realized I lost 5 hours playing the average european platformer

You should give Tropical Freeze a shot if you get the chance at one point. Not that Rayman is bad, mind you.

I've been platforming since piftal. I love the pixelated garbage meme.

>piftal.
pitfal

Well this doesn't have Cave Story, so you know you fucked up.

the meme music only gives you a positive impression if you are easily impacted by mass produced trash
the Rayman origins at least had some art but legends scream flash art from 2006
no wonder why people have low standards today and think any shill of the month like Fez or Celeste are ''innovative''

it
is
not
an
indie!!!!!

>Holy trinity of shitty indie games heavily and shamelessly shilled on Sup Forums.
I only see 2 shitty games and Cuphead.

>no Ori & the Blind Forest

Get out.

It was published by fucking Microsoft, one of the richest companies in human history. How the fuck is it indie?

>No Cave Story

The only good part of that game is the Ginso tree everything else is boring as fuck.

>It was published by fucking Microsoft
It wasn't. They didn't even fund it.

But it wasn't though? Where did you heard that?

I like going fast. Just like the treasure chases. And super meat boy.

You are lying to yourself if you think Microsoft didn't fund them

>dude I literally sold my house!
Do you actually think selling your house for 300k can fund a game development for 4 years? how stupid are you?

Don't listen to the twelve year old contrarians. They're good games.

>cuphead
>platformer

It's okay when Microsoft does it.

retard.

Okay, I stand corrected. I actually thought Microsoft was more heavily involved with that game, since it only released on PC and Xbone. My mistake.

>wikipedia

Cave Story
La Mulana
Odallus

>not indie
>the word indie literally in the title of the article
ok thanks

All of these games are Nu-fun

...

>cuphead
Not indie and not a platformer

>hollow knight
Not a platformer.

Add
>super meat boy

>Cuphead is the only indie game not crowdfunded or pixel/retro sprite based

Is Cuphead even a platformer?

>Cuphead
UGH why are you posting that game!!! Don't you know its meant for elitists who are trying to make gaming less inclusive!!!

There's a game missing

I like Cave Story and I think it was impressive that one person made it all alone, especially back then, but if you compare it to all the other indie platformers and judge the game by it's merits alone it's not even top 10.

Fucking when is King Knight?

Why did you make this post? You are being facetious, and everyone is aware you are, and you are aware that everyone is aware, so what's the deal? You aren't even particularly clever or funny.

Why do you think?

Soon (and then some if you're not on Nintendo platforms)

>Cuphead
>no Dustforce

>holy trinity
>indie garbage
No.

Super Meat Boy
Spelunky
Shantae

I like Cuphead but it's a run and gun, not a platformer.

...

>even knowing twitch exists, much less basing your conception of a game on it

Are 1930's cartoons actually a part of cultural consciousness for people in the US?

...

...

...

Celeste is better than two of these games. Even with the SJW writing.

which games? grow some balls, beta male.

my nigger

I really wanted to like Hollow Knight, but maybe metroidvanias are just not my thing as I found it extremely tedious to run back and forth the map looking for the next area to unlock.

I feel ya. I've yet to play a metroidvania that I'd consider 3x3 worthy.

What other metroidvanias have you played? Most of them aren't nearly as slowly paced or backtracking heavy as Hollow Knight

They were involved a lot in the marketing because they wanted it to be a big deal on Xbone.

Yeah, they're totally lying about Microsoft funding them. They're lying because of... reasons. Don't worry about it.

...

I played Metroid Prime but that's about it.

Jesus christ that autism

the rawr part gets me every time

So the only two games you've played happened to be the most egregiously slow paced and backtracking heavy ones, what luck. Go play something like Super Metroid, Zero Mission or Ori and the Blind Forest, you owe it to yourself. They do pretty much the same formula, but have much better flow/pacing, don't have constant backtracking for trivial shit, and most importantly they're SHORT i.e. they don't overstay their welcome.

you are false but I respect your "opinion"

Where is Cave Story

Cuphead Isn't really a platformer

Were the characters really unity assets?

Did the tard rage actually happen?

...

yes

Ori was published by Microsoft

Celeste isn't better than jackshit you braindead nigger.

why is he even streaming Cuphead, shouldn't he be working on a game?

thats not colorbleed you fucking retard it looks like a shitty 3d effect from the 80s

Never said I didn't like it, just said that it's not a platformer cockhead

published != developed, doofus. "Indie" has to do with production, not distribution.

Publishing != just distribution, doofus.

They funded the game

>being this delusional

Ducktales is shit

Cuphead is not Indie
Cuphead is not good

No, that'd be Spelunky, Cave Story, and La Mulana
