I never played Cuphead because I knew how hard it was, but I did watch the Let's Plays, and damn if Wayne Brady isn't a good King Dice.
Honestly besides the Junkyard Robot and The Mermaid, & The Devil It's not that hard. Now if you're going for a no damage run?
Also I forgot the characters have four fingered hands.
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

Wally Warbles and Rumor Honeybottoms were quite problematic for me.
But yes, if you accept the fact that you're going to die a lot on most of the bosses, Cuphead is perfectly beatable. I've played (and beaten) harder.
I'll say I can't beat Contra III or Hard Corps to this very day.
You guys want to talk about stuff happening at E3? Lots of cool stuff but we don’t have a thread for it
You can always make one. We didn't have one last year cause covid broke it up into solo directs, but we had threads for it in previous years.
Hey any one who is a fan of Brandon Sanderson books, especially the Mistborn series check this out

Am I weird? I have never gotten excited for a Zombie game before, like ever, and Left 4 Dead did nothing for me, and I wasn't excited for Back 4 Blood, which is just a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead…. but then they released a trailer for RedFall, which is just the same thing except with Vampires instead of Zombies, and all of a sudden I'm super excited for this game
granted the trailer was really cool, and all the four characters have special powers and insane equipment, but the main difference is Vampires not Zombies and now I'm totally on board
I guess Zombies just seem boring and Vampires don't..... to me at least
Any thoughts on this?
Could potentially be a huge game changer and I could see how down the years developers will stop porting to PC if this thing grows
Not a competitor for PC gaming, but a convenient prize for those on move. Nothing beats a well set up battle station. This thing is not it. Small screen with 1280p resolution at 60hz only, too little memory size for storing games. Input devices limited to the few buttons around.
Thanks, I think that's a good perspective.
This could still go both ways because the steam library is HUGE and its accessibility to so many games also meant that the target audience doesn't necessary have to be competitive gamers.
Most people who own a Switch are casual gamers and there are a huge chunk of casual games that are AAA in the library.

I see it turning out in a single definite way. This device would function as advertisement for PC gaming. Within the steam list of games, you'll inevitably find those that you would love to play on a proper set up. It'd create incentive to at least try that once.
I think it's trying to fill a handheld gap and cater to those who don't see as much value in a switch.
The switch is great for the first parties and it does have some great third parties, but you can play those third parties with more quality somewhere else. So if you don't care about Mario and Pokemon the switch is not worthy just to play Hades.
But if you like the on-the-go aspect and the steam library, there you go. I don't think this is meant to be that interesting to someone who already has a nice pc or even a console.
The Steam Deck looks like an interesting handheld. Not a direct competitor for Switch, but I certainly have a fair chunk of games that don't quite run on my PC that would be nice to have an affordable machine to do so on.
The low memory unless you get the deluxe model is a bit of a bummer.
It won't be a switch killer or a PC replacement, but there's definitely a market for it. Since its BASICALLY a PC, and will in tehory allow you to do whatever a PC does, the question very very quickly turns to "how well does it handle emulation". Because if it can do that reasonably well then…
Also, it will be pretty good for simulators/emulation scene.
For instance, there's nothing stopping someone from running BoTW on an emulator at a much higher setting on the deck and then that essentially will work like a Switch Pro. The deck being more towards an open source type platform then strictly Steam also opens a lot of opportunities for people to play anything that can be simulated on the PC on their handheld.
From IGN's review, the controls seem to be fine but there have been some noise about how it might be uncomfortable after long periods.
Cue Microsoft and Sony announcing expensive portable versions of their systems at E3 next year.
Looks like EA's joined Team Global Warming.

Considering the failure of the Vita along with the fact that the PS5's stock issues are due in part if I recall due to part shortages even as a joke this wouldn't be plausible.
Lol Guilty Gear is ridiculous
GG was always a weird fighting game, what are you talking about it?

So, the opening ceremonies to the Olympics are being loaded with Squaresoft music. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Trigger, Nier, are all getting played.

It's just background instrumental, not stageshow or anything, but still neat.
So, Axiom Verge 2 surprise dropped today.
Like actual surprise no one knew that it was coming.
What the hell is this?
So since Yahtzee named Spiritfarer his favorite game of 2020 (not that I always necessarily agree with him) I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm about a week into it now and, yeah, I'd say it was a good call.
For those not aware, Spiritfarer is a resource management game, with a touch of adventuring and platforming. And it is just such a delight to play. The game is so chill and fun and beautifully animated and (be forewarned) does get pretty emotional. And for a completionist like me, this game really does hit all the right notes. It's very well-paced, despite there being tons of resources to discover and gather, and it's very fair about it in that you're never really at risk for "losing" any resource. It's just a matter of getting them as quickly and efficiently as you can.
So yeah, I highly recommend this game. I believe the game usually goes for $30, though I managed to get it for half off. But if you do have the money to spare, I'd say it's well worth the full price.
Something I stumbled across while lurking on KH Insider
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega. At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why.
Guess Sega decided to do what Nintendoes.
More Info about the Dokev video game for those who are interested
Oh man, a new Dokev trailer came out today, I thought the first trailer looked awesome, with all the monster hunting and collecting, fighting giant robot boss battles and all the various ways to get around, and lots of neat everyday stuff you can do
And there new trailer is just 5 minutes of kids dancing and posing….. it’s really bad, I know not to expect much of a game until reviews are out but damn that was awful
Not watching the Horizon 2 trailer, I already know I'm getting it, I've seen enough, I want to be as surprised as possible.
Hyped for Elden Ring.

That… wasn't a trailer.
That was the "official music video."
It's a stand alone "sell this pop song" thing. Not gameplay. Probably a bad choice for the game awards though.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will be ported for the PS4, Switch and Steam. March 17, 2022.
Well, damn. I know it's "just a port", but this game I want. Not the biggest Persona 3 & 4 fan, but I mean - an Arc System Works fighting game that doubles as a canonical continuation of those games? That's super interesting.
(I got to the almost-endgame of both 3 & 4, but not The Answer nor the female route nor 4 Golden, and apparently those are canon, so. . .I think I'll hit the wikipedia and read all them spoilers to be up to date for this game. Cause I am NOT re-playing those 100 hours+ games anytime soon).
Anyone interested in the game Sifu? it looks interesting
It's a case where how well you do determines how much life you have left for the following rounds with no replenishing, so you have to learn it super tight and perform incredibly well to get through the stages and that's gonna take lots of practice. And the enemies have no telegraphs you just have to learn their combos cold.
Its probably a game that plays super smooth and looks great once you get it down, it'll be a dream for speedrunners.
So, not so much hard once you get a stage down… but you will have to practice and learn to beat it, you can't just do it casually and there's no lowering the difficulty.
Another game that looks really cool is this

Thanks for the heads up, probably won't buy this now 
Is Elden Ring a part of the Dark Souls canon, or is it a new setting/world entirely?
@Johnny:
Is Elden Ring a part of the Dark Souls canon, or is it a new setting/world entirely?
I'm pretty sure it is it's own separate thing, especially with George R R Martin writing much of the lore
I'm pretty sure neither Bloodborne or Sekiro are part of the Dark Souls canon either.
Maybe Demon's Souls, but just because both of them have this asshole called Patches.
Does anybody know why dying light 2 is getting such bad fan reviews?
But pretty average critic reviews
Metacritic's user reviews system is stupid. That's why.

I don’t know much about it, why do you say that?
Because fans assessments/reviews tend to be a bit weird when it comes to what they think is bad.
Not that critic reviews are any less shitty.
Is it worse than Gamefaqs?
I would say it's just as bad.

Have you ever heard of the term "Review Bombing"?
I would say it's just as bad.

Have you ever heard of the term "Review Bombing"?
I assume it’s the same as with movies where people give bad reviews for things they haven’t seen because there’s something about it they don’t like
Like when people gave Black Panther and Captain Marvel bad reviews cause god forbid after twenty something movies Marvel had the “audacity” to make a movie with a black and female lead characters
I'm not sure if this game will be really good or bad, but at least it looks interesting

also I find myself strangely annoyed you can use Fire, Water and Wind but not earth, I just expect when someone does the elements that they'll do all four
You forgot the Heart.
You forgot the Heart.
If you can summon Captain Planet by using all five I'll buy this game on the spot
