>Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game which is heavily based on the boss battles inspired by 1930s cartoons. It passed 2 million sales in three months after selling one million in two weeks last year. People have mixed opinions about the game, some find it hard to play and some find it quite fun.
>However, it seems those who consider it hard to play outweigh the number of people who are having fun. According to Reddit post, only 7% players have defeated the final boss on Xbox One.
<I’ve been playing Cuphead, and I noticed that a lot of the achievements (including the unmissable ones) are considered rare. For example, only 7% of players have gotten the achievement for beating the final boss. Why is this? I find it strange that so few people have finished it even though it’s a highly acclaimed game. I know it’s hard, but if it’s so hard that most people gave up on it, does that mean that people don’t like it? Are people just getting bored of it before finishing it?
>To be honest, Cuphead is harder than an average game you will ever play, there are a variety of different bosses in the game which can be so tiring that you will give up. You’ll have to grind a lot and some moves in the games are unavoidable which are enough for someone to give up.
>People are mostly commenting about the hard levels and undefeatable bosses in it. The game tests your patience beyond you can ever imagine. So next time when you decide to buy the game keep in mind there are chances of you giving up on it sooner than you may think.

Is it just me but whenever I start a game, I always have the urge to follow through and complete it unless it's pure garbage or downright a chore? To me, this is the same as saying "only 7% of Cuphead players enjoy playing Cuphead." Maybe it's because I grew up poorfag and every purchase I made had to earn back it's worth. Sometimes I might play multiple games at once and switch when I get frustrated or bored.
Reminder that these people wouldn't normally be playing video games if we still had the hardware we did back then. People who are bad at video games are people who can't be bothered to play them when it's not as easy to access.

The funny thing about it is that Cuphead isn't even all that difficult. Granted, it's a Metroidvania (I'm counting it because it has a boss rush mode) but the harder difficulties of Rabi-Ribi make Cuphead look like babies first bullet-hell. And Rabi-Ribi itself is not even that hard.

While I agree with you in theory, I am so disappointed with the indie scene as a whole. In the 80s, with 8-bit home computers, some indiefag could whip up a game in his bedroom, send it to a publisher and get a job in the industry. That was lost with AAA, but came back once AAA became TOO safe. Here's the issue, though. Indies were supposed to fill in the blanks, they were supposed to be the ones with original ideas, the ones that could take risks. But what are the big indies, again? Duck Tales but worse, Mario Golf GBC but worse, Earthbound but gay, Banjo Kazooie but unpolished and even more boring, Mario 64 but less fun, so on, so forth.
I'm not asking for anything uber-original, but it's all just "rare-vivals" and "this old game, but again". Finding a solid, interesting indie game is a fucking pain. I'd especially love indie puzzle games and small Zeldo-style games, like Link's Awakening. Fuck all the 3d ones. I'd ask for good 3d platformers but I do keep up with those, they're all shit and I'm making my own for a reason.

Typically hard mode achievements on Steam are 2% or less. Typically 0.5% to 1%, but I've seen the really hard ones go as low as 0.2%, eg about three years ago with BOI and beating the game with The Lost. Or say, the true ending of Hollow Knight.
I think the achievements are based on games owned, not played. That is, if some dipshit plays for 2h and drops a game, he's counted against the achievements. This is why I actually am in favor of "beat the tutorial" style achievements - its a good litmus test to see how accurate the rest of the stats actually are

Don't be upset mate, it's not your fault you tried shaming one with your mad leet skillz but inadvertedly revealed that you play vidya for delusions of accomplishment. You just confirmed what everybody believed: people who gnash their teeth over artificial difficulty are just seeking validation for their self esteem.
And this is where the average shitposter would stop: but I speak the truth, so I'm going for the throat since you are the unaware type and eventually you will use these lesson for good. Here's a challenge: drop the next artificial difficulty slog for something you enjoy better, don't play it for a year until none talks about it anymore. Number 1: you will sweat bullets like a fucking junkie, and it will serve you greatly to build self control. Number 2: when you finally try it yourself in the usual post-game /v/ atmosphere that all games are shit, then you will agree with the anons that game is actually unworthy of sweat and actually drop it.

Modern gamers are so bad that they are worst than DSP who could even beat this game. They are just as bad as modern game reviewers like Angry Joe who take him hours to even beat one level or boss. Most of those who played the game at launch were streamers following the trend at the time so it didn't matter if they beat the game. They got their money's worth in other ways. The sad fact is that it wouldn't even be considered that hard by NES diffulty standards. It would be average difficulty if it was ranked.

Hipster claim is reverse psychology. When used in positive way it means liking what's popular among mainstream millennial communities including things like modern art, queer fashion, old hippie songs and thought and new wave of liberal ideology, when used in negative way it usually means shaming a person who doesn't enjoy something popular for the sake of it, when in reality being a hipster is almost the same as liking something popular nowadays.
For example:
>You're a dirty hipster for hating star wars just because they are popular!

Get real, of the games you've played most of them had a minimum of competence required to actually progress them which you did meet, but you would sneer at those who couldn't even meet the skill requirements of the easiest things you've faced. Only when a game starts getting too demanding for you do you proclaim you're too good for this shit in order to protect your own ego, which for you in this case applies to gaming in its entirety. Giving up on a game 2hard4you isn't what makes you a target to be laughed at, but bitching about it on the internet to justify your own inability does, like someone who gets salty for losing in a fighting game.
To me it's not even about the cred, playing a game at the highest level possible is the most surefire way to gain insight about a video game and all its pros and cons. If I played casually on and off every now and then, I wouldn't have a lot of insight to share, which is what most gaming journalists falls prey to since they only play games at the most surface casual level.

I looked up the completion rate for Siren since it came out on PSN. Beat the game years ago but remember that people complained about it's difficulty.
Apparently about ~70% of players complete the first mission (which is troubling but ok I guess). Then the completion rate for all the Day 1 missions is like ~4% and the completion rate for clearing the final boss is like ~2%.
I gotta wonder how harsh the drop off rate is for other games as Siren't main difficulty is easy to mitigate since you just have to read an FAQ to figure out puzzles but the actual gameplay isn't too complicated.
ec0257 No.14765471
>>14765342
>I gotta wonder how harsh the drop off rate is for other games as Siren't main difficulty is easy to mitigate
It's not necessarily difficulty. There are times when it obviously is, like a 0.4% completion rate for Dustforce DX and less than a 0.1% completion rate for Devil Daggers, but it's at least equal parts lack of interest. There are so many games readily available that most people will drop a game and move on to something else for any reason at all. Even something like Life is Strange only has a 25% completion rate, and there's no way anyone's getting deterred by difficulty there.
Siren's not necessarily the most obscure shit in the world, but you have to admit it's a little impenetrable compared to a lot of survival horror games. It's more likely that masses of people have more difficulty getting into it than completing it. I was afraid to even look it up, but the completion rate for finishing just the first day of Pathologic is 16%, and it's half of that by day 3.
Lack of interest is probably a bigger deterrent than difficulty, frankly. I know in Hollow Knight the Lost Kin is considered a somewhat difficult optional boss, but the completion rate for that is about the same as the first and easiest achievement in Rain World.

>but it's at least equal parts lack of interest.
I agree, although those two aren't mutually exclusive as whatever causes the player to lose interest; one of those factors could be difficulty barriers.
>Siren's not necessarily the most obscure shit in the world
I didn't pick it for it's obscurity. If anything anyone remotely attracted to the survival horror genre should have heard of Siren as it has a strong reputation.
>but you have to admit it's a little impenetrable compared to a lot of survival horror games
That's the reputation and the "difficulty" that I was talking about. Siren is notorious for having obtuse means of solving individual missions. Stuff like the infamous Water towel puzzle or the different hidden icons needed to progress into the 2nd loop which requires coordinating between multiple independent missions to solve. However, when I played the game I found that contrary to reputation, you can "brute force" some puzzles and I had done so before discovering the intended solution. The other part is what I said was mitigated by FAQ's. I don't think Siren was particularly hard once I got used to double checking gamefaq when I hit a dead end and got looped to the first scenario in the cycle.
But to your point, if someone hit those same walls and walked away. Lack of interest is the reason why
>Pathologic
I've played Pathologic and I assume something similar happened with that title as well. A combination of a-typical gameplay and obscure mechanics pushed players away.

I have encountered only and only causalised reskinned older games with different names in the last 5 years.

Well, Super Mario Bros. did the same exact thing to gaming in the 1980s.

There is no hidden meaning, in fact a deleted scene makes the meaning of the movie so much more obvious. Kubrick outright said there isn't any hidden meaning.
The black monolith is a fucking movie theatre screen, the deleted scene is the movie going a bit meta on purpose for the main character's eureka moment

Super Mario Bros is one of the most popular game in the world, how many people have actually finished it? Just because people don't finish it doesn't mean they didn't have fun playing it. It's like saying people can't have fun if they lose in multiplayer games (or board games or sports). Seems like an overreach to try to keep preaching their "It's not enjoyable if it's hard" bullshit.

The real secret is playing all the bosses on easy so that you can progress to the run and gun stages to get the coins for the powerups, then go back and refight the bosses on normal so you can get to the Devil (from what I remember. The game was pretty hard but fair).

Generally people are compulsive buyers, they buy a game just because is the hottest thing in the moment without having any real interest in it, and before even completing it, they already move on to the next big thing because of "muh hype".
That's why shit like Ass Creed, CoD and Fifa keep selling.

Bought it because of all the tears about its difficulty, just finished it, only took a few hours. I still need to go back and do king dice again as I finished fast enough to have not seen them all I guess. Unless that's some special fight for the reset square. I was expecting something way harder given the way people cry about the dragon and robot, but the average NES platformer is harder than this. A whole generation needs stronger fathers, apparently.
Was a really stylish game, though. And it's the only mass-market game in a long time with no poison in it. Game reviewers probably had trouble playing it due to it being about fighting vice and Jewishness, I can imagine their clawlike hands smoking as they tried to touch a pure game.
3168a8 No.14773259
Cuphead is only easier by virtue of having a checkpoint-based structure rather than expecting you to finish the entire game in one run. In Cuphead you don't lose more than 2 minutes progress when you die. For NES games you often had to make do with 3+ lives (where some games had additional health per life), and if you ran out you had to start the entire game over, or continue like a little bitch, depending on how many continues you had left anyways. If you had to beat every single boss in Cuphead in a single run without dying more than three times, then people in this thread would be singing a different tune.
Fun fact: if you were to fight against all bosses in Cuphead back-to-back without retrying, it'd take you around 40-50 minutes to complete, which is actually longer than your usual 8/16-bit platformer. But average completion times come out around 5-6 hours because of the sheer amount of retries involved. Imagine how long it'd take for one to 1cc Cuphead, so to speak. The "second loop" would then be played on Expert. Basically, Cuphead pads itself out through its difficulty. That might sound bullshit, but if you consider that all the bosses in the game can be beaten back-to-back under an hour, imagine how much effort and time the developers would have to put in to make that ten or twenty hours. It's simply unfeasible. These arcade-ish games often get undeserved flak for being too short because the reviewers just creditfeed (read: cheese) their way through the game instead of making a serious attempt to learn the game. The fact that you can creditfeed in some of these kind of games is a moronic leftover in itself, but that people do so and judge the game accordingly despite not even taking the game seriously is even sillier in itself.
If Cuphead were to fully embrace the arcade game structure, people would flat out give up, even the self-proclaimed hardasses here on /v/. Instead of using the given Practice Mode to learn individual bosses, people would bitch about having to redo the entire game because the idea is that foreign to them. So this kind of Checkpoint Mode where you get a checkpoint before each boss so frustration can be alleviated by not having you waste too much time on each death is a kind of compromise between getting undeserved criticism for being too short and unrealistic expectations of meeting the "1 hour of gameplay = 1 dollar" quota.

You're definitely projecting if you think anyone is going to "sweat bullets" over dropping a game. Also, from your previous posts, your defintion of artificial difficulty is flawed. That's just regular difficulty. artificial difficulty is shit like (J)RPGs where you have to grind to level because you can't win ,regardless of skill, with numbers that are too small.

Sad, then again if a game is harder than the norm these days I praise it just for the fact that it is challenging the player. The majority of games are just too easy and I loose interest in them very quickly. For those arguing about older games being harder, remember that these kids were never introduced to them, the old guard did nothing to help them have good taste and so they are lost playing in a sea of bottom tier diarrhea.
