>tfw too intellectual to git gud | Cuphead | Know Your Meme

! Rowan @Rowankaiser Follow Okay here's my actual analysis of why the reactionaries are so obsessed with "beating" games journalists. Rowan Kaiser The key motivator in this kind of behavior is that a huge amount of commenters (and twitter reactors and so on) is that they resent games writers for being given platforms as experts in a field theyve defined as their identity. Hence their goal in watching/commenting /tweeting is to compete with and defeat the writer, with the implicit idea that this proves the commenter's expertise and justifies the time and effort theyve invested into gaming This is true across other media. Ive seen it in my TV reviews-if you don't catch a key callback or whatever, or if you have too many typos, some people il respond as if that destroys whatever you were trying to say, and again by implication, that they are the trustworthy expert, not the person with the byline, who has lost the battle of wits. It's worse in games for cultural reasons that are well-worn, but definitely notable all across the internet It's anti-intellectualism, anti-expertise, and just plain reactive (and in many ways, reactionary) resentment + spite at the idea that someone else has a platform. We can keep it quiet by getting rid of Web 2.0 b-------, but I doubt well ever get rid of it. Like Reply 1 Just now 2:41 PM - 6 Sep 2017 目 90 Retweets 207 Likes 15 90 207

Cuphead: Game Journalist Edition

CUPHEAD . Here at StudioMDHR Entertainment, we understand how unfair it is that gamers expect journalists to lean, play, or even complete the games they are trusted with critiquing. GAME JOURNALIST EDITION Cuphead: Game Journalist Edition is specially designed to give you an edge, providing the bare minimum experience you need to write a killer, metascore-affecting review, without any of the frustrating, toxic barriers normally imposed by other developers, such as challenge. We realize you hate games and playing them, but with Cuphead: Game Journalist Edition, you can placate your whiny, entitled readers and then get back to your true calling: blogging about politics and playing the victim on Twitter THE TUTORIAL MOVING JUMPING (A tutorial is a short segment which explains the game's basic controls and mechanics and allows the player to familiarize themselves with them) Hold left or right on the left analog stick to make Cuphead move in the same direction. The analog stick is the protruding stick-like part of your controller. Most controllers have two, but you want the LEFT one here. Press the A button to make Cuphead jump! Jumping allows Cuphead get over obstacles he can't walk through. Try it now to get him onto this box! Keep in Reminder: The A button is the small circle on your controller that says "A". If you can't find it, just few moments, and a video tutorial will play shortly. Once Cuphead is on the box, t wait a few you'll notice he stays up there THIS IS AN ANALOG STICKmind you'll have to press This is because it's a solid surface, which means he can stand on it. He won't come down until you make him move off the box. To make Cuphead stop moving, let go of the analog stick. It will automatically return to a neutral position. right on the analog stick to make Cuphead move over and onto the top of the box. THIS IS CUPHEAD Boxes are useful, because the extra height allows you to then make Cuphead jump onto taller boxes he normally can't reach. This advanced technique will be explained in a few hours. GO THIS WAY AND (RIGHT) JUMP ANALOG STICK RIGHT YOU CONTROL HIM

"Cuphead devs took out a second mortgage to make their game accommodating to these people"

Ahmad @AVENGEDOG Suivre I want you to read this comment knowing that the Cuphead devs took out a second mortgage to make their game accommodating to these people A l'origine en anglais Mr. Serious 1 week ago What the hell man? You call yourself a games journalist? Why even post this?? REPLY 200 Hide replies VB 2 days ago Dean: I've watched the comments on this thread just to see how mean they would be. I think it's useful to show my gameplay experience. I did not intentionally play poorly to troll' anyone. But it serves as an interesting social experiment. I walk into a game cold, and this is the play that results. The video shows it's a notch more difficult than your typical Mario game. In fact, if you are expecting Mario, as the story says, then you are thrown off. And it shows that the developers are going to leave a lot of people who are worse than me behind. Maybe they're fine with that. Maybe they want to target gamers with a love for difficult games. That's fine. But I think they should signal that. How many games actually come with a tutorial these days? They're not popular. But if it's necessary, that is a signal this is going to require some skill. As for other comments on this thread, I wonder why they are hostile to someone who is viewing the game as a beginner? Are we that intolerant of people who are not gamers'? Should I have played the scene over and over again until I was good at it, and then turned the recording on, like so many of those perfect video walkthroughs you see? I believe that games can be made accessible and inviting to people who are not hardcore fans, and these people can be accommodated inside the same game that is appealing to hardcore fans, through difficulty levels. So when people tell me that I shouldn't be playing this game because, on my first play, I was pretty lousy that's an attitude that argues that games should be shut off in their own little corner, only played publicly by the masters and the experts. I disagree with that view entirely, and I believe it leads to elitist attitudes that allow gamers to look down on other people, and that only leads to a more fragmented world of haters.
