Why do people say the game is so hard?

[Your Number One Fan]

I don’t understand why people say the game is hard. Yes, it can be difficult at times, but I don’t see how it’s “OMGZ RAGE QUIT” hard. Once you know the patterns the battles get pretty easy and get funner. (I know that’s not a word)

Sounding old, but I don't care. You remind me of you when I was your age; kicking butt and taking names back in the day. Keep up the legacy of good players at a young age!

However in this new era of checkpoints and 'easy automatic' modes, anything that doesn't have an escelator to victory is seen as 'overly hard' and 'stupid difficulty to hide lack of content'.

This individual knows what's up. Hats off. I agree completely.

Ironically, that is why Dark Souls was a smash hit when it came to PC and also why Cuphead became popular.

Besides, Rage videos are super funny for this game and are everywhere.

I would classify this game as hard, but not in a way that it'll make you feel that it's impossible to get through, or in a "This will take a rare miracle to help me through this" type of sense. Sure, you may not be the easiest game out there, but with practice, trial and error, seeing how the run 'n' gun and boss battles go, you'll know you can beat the game. (Trust me, I spent almost two hours fighting Djimmi The Great, over and over again, until I defeated him and got his soul contract. He was quite a handful, but I knew I could beat him, and I did!)

We know, we can see the little mouse clicky thingy next to your name, this informs us you have the game.

A big problem is probably that many of the people who claim the game is way too hard assumed that it would be an easy laid back kids game due to the Disney-like animation style.

Games like dark souls project a certain feel that likely attracts more hardcore challenge-craving gamers while keeping casual gamers away. Games like cuphead probably attract a younger audience and a more casual crowd to an experience they didn't expect.

That being said, it's entirely the person's fault if they bought a difficult game even though they can't perform well enough to enjoy it. The refund system is in place to remedy problems like that, but they're also dumb for not doing research.

For me it's difficult to 'rage' over a game so pretty lol

In all honesty though, yeah this game is hard, but that's the fun part of it. You don't just waltz through it in two or three hours and finish the game not feeling satisfied.
