Shame about steam not seeming to get pre-loads, 11gb will take awhile on my slow Australian internet.

With that said though i'm super pumped to play it! Been waiting for Cuphead ever since it was announced a few years ago!

This might be the only game I'd ever want to see chromatic aberration in. I'll be interested to see whether a general consensus is reached on the best setting on the slider.

polygon review mentions they didn't like the final two boss fights of the game :/

hope they're just wrong, gonna be antihype if the last two bosses blow

It's nice they added a slider for chromatic aberration, but I will say a bit of chromatic aberration does fit the game's style as old analog tvs/VHS tapes many used to use had some color blur effects going on, so it fits the style (but appreciate having the ability to alter the level or turn it off completely).

CA will be turned off immediately. I want to see the beautiful drawings in their original form.

You're missing out. Turn that Color Bleed up !

Sucks that the game doesn't have preload on steam :(

Yeah, this is one of those games were it's not too out of place.

Where does it say that? I bought it from GMG too but I haven't received an email or seen any update on the purchases page.

I usually check their twitter, like JaseC posted, many ppl are asking them there and they reply very fast usually.
 
I assume the achievements are extremely difficult...anyone know? Has the list been put out yet

Edit: nvm, just found a list. Yep, extremely difficult indeed

So who wanna explain the OT title in detail?

Reference to old meme video where two girls did scat stuff and people would show them to grandmas because "trololol my grandma is watching gross porn with feces".

Lame.

EDIT: I feel sorry about posting only about the disgusting title. Game looks great, I don't have the time now but I wanna play it eventually.

The game has no cutscenes? I'm watching people playing it and I haven't seen one cutscene. The game just throws you in right from the title screen.

There are cutscenes, they were just embargoed.

I don't think most of those achievements are that hard. Depends on your experience with shooters. Getting S-rank will be difficult, but once you have super moves and better ex moves even that's "a bit" easier.

Most people who are decent at games will be able to beat at least 30-40% the bosses without too much trouble (only a few retries). People who like their hands to be held, or are just accustomed to that in modern gaming, will have great difficulty though.

Example... this is probably the hardest boss early in the game (first two areas) to complete. Most of the bosses are difficult to get an A+ grade (perfect run), but just completing them isn't so bad aside from the boss linked above. Again, that's just early game. They get harder, but just trying to provide an example.

I feel you. Nowadays 11 gigs is barely a minute.
 
Anyone know if my Surface Pro 4 will handle this? I’ve been pleasantly surprised how it’s handling some games. Any other SP4 players giving it a shot?

For those who asked about length:

One critic said it took them 8-9 hours, another said 15 hours, and another said 5-6 hours on Simple difficulty.

So, yeah, mileage may vary.
 
Tempted to double dip on Steam for the soundtrack, but I guess I get the PC version through Play Anywhere so I shouldn't waste my money.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
First time i have pre-ordered from GMG and they dont send out keys a few days early. Hmph!

"We will be sending out keys after the game unlocks on Steam" suggests the keys have been distributed to GMG but they can't be sent out just yet, which makes me wonder if GMG was accidentally given "beta testing" keys that have a release state override and grant instant access to the game.

well that is true for all arcade games :D pure playthrough without retrying should be the timer if you want a number. otherwise it's 999+ hours.

Download should be around 3GB. When unpacked game should be 11GB.

I guess I live in a place where I'm closed off from understanding the big deal about the thread title? What am I missing?

Someone called a scat (poop) porn video 2 girls 1 cup and it spread around the internet like wildfire. Lots of reaction videos where people would watch it/make others watch it.
