Maybe they want to target gamers with a love for difficult games. And it shows that the developers are going to leave a lot of people who are worse than me behind. In fact, if you are expecting Mario, as the story says, then you are thrown off. The video shows it’s a notch more difficult than your typical Mario game. I walk into a game cold, and this is the play that results. But it serves as an interesting social experiment. I did not intentionally play poorly to “troll” anyone. I think it’s useful to show my gameplay experience. “Dean: I’ve watched the comments on this thread just to see how mean they would be. He did take the liberty to respond to the hate comments on his gameplay video: Some even pointed out that Dean changed the title of the video from “ Cuphead demo at Gamescom: It isn’t easy” after the negative feedback blasted in.įor Dean, this is a lot to take especially with his years of experience as a games journalist. The YouTube video garnered 3 thousand dislikes and a lot of users were left disappointed and started to insult his “games journalist” title. His video titled Cuphead Gamescom Demo: Dean’s Shameful 26 Minutes Of Gameplay (the video above) was met with a lot of pitchforks and backlash from the community. However, that doesn’t justify his excuses why he doesn’t have the knack of understanding the most basic mechanic of a platformer game.

Obviously, for a person like Dean Takahashi, the GamesBeat’s video-games journalist (the person playing Cuphead), who in fact didn’t review a whole lot of platformers, seems to be bad at playing platformers.
