Why Cuphead is easier than Dark Souls...

[Coyote796]

Cuphead, retry a level ? Yeah sure they are only about 2 minutes long anyway.

Dark Souls, retry a boss ? Pfft you better run back to that s*** and make sure you don't die on the way and lose your experience, oh and you better have not been a little b**** and opened that shortcut cause otherwise... well your doing some cardio son shine! While your at it how bout you level your little b**** a** up so you don't die two hits again you little scrub!

The comparisons are so annoying.

Comparing games to Dark Souls has quickly become old hat and needs to stop. A difficult game doesn't make it comparable to Dark Souls. Games can be hard and good on their own merit. True, there are "Souls-like" games out there. Good games like Nioh or garbage games like Lords of the Fallen and The Surge. Those games compare to Dark Souls because of the relativley similar combat styles and tough gameplay. Cuphead is a great game, but if it's going to be compared to another "hard" game, talk about another tough platformer like Shovel Knight.

Hard games are my favorite types of game, the Dark Souls series among them. However I don't use that as my basis when talking about other challenging games. Dark Souls has gained a reputaion for being hard, and that's it. You hardly see reviews that compare a games story/lore or combat system to Dark Souls, just reviews that say " Hurr durr, this game is hard. It's the Dark Souls of ____"

TL;DR Hard games are not Dark Souls

In Dark Souls you can actually one shot bosses if you have the right stats and equipment, It's a RPG and there are easy ways around anything if you are smart. In cuphead if you ♥♥♥♥ at a boss then you pretty much only have the option of getting better at the game.

Obligatory "they're not even in the same genre" comment.

Funny thing is I made this post to see what people would say as I was not the one who made the "CUphead is the Dark Souls of Bullet Hell" meme, I have already made a video why I think Cuphead is actually harder than Dark Souls and the main point I make is that they are 2 different genres.

One is designed as a bullet hell and the other is like Chosen said, an RPG.

Its nice to see people hate the meme as much as I do but lets face it it will never disappear, people will always use Dark Souls as a reference :/

Dark Souls really isn't that difficult. It's just challenging, but once you get the grip for it then most of the game becomes a cakewalk. I really don't know why it became a synonym for "hard".

[Moe Magi Maxima]

"hard" is relative, I think most would agree. I also think most would agree Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is definitely HARD. And not in a good way.

"DARKSOULS VS. CUPHEAD? DARKSOULS WINS YOU PIECE OF **** ***** ***!!! LOOL"

"Uhhh...I totally just meant this as an experiment! Yeah, just to see what you said! Yeah!! GO ON MY YOUTUBE AND LOOK!!!"

Well, Cuphead is a 2d arcade, and the 2d arcades is the genre which has the legitimately mont difficult, most frustrating games.

DS is only hard among the action/RPG games, which is why only other action/RPG games should be compared to it.

(TBH, DS is too honest; every dishonest RPG which just plays with numbers can be harder. I.e.: Witcher 3 on the max difficulty is undoubtly harder than DS, but only because enemies hit you too hard. Or Automata at 1 hit kill mode).

2d arcades is the whole another world of difficulty. A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Coolspot is more difficult than DS. Super Meatboy is. Those games created purely for difficulty, such as "The Most Frustrating Game", are too.
