    Can my five year old son beat the infamous time set by (game/tech journalist) Dean Takahashi at the Cuphead tutorial?
    Find out in this side by side comparison.
    This was 100% the first time my Son played Cuphead in fact it's the first time he has played any platformer in his life.
    He only just leveled up to 5 a couple of weeks before this recording & had been playing video games for about 6 months (mainly racers & Lego video games). His true passions at the time consisted of playing with dirt/mud, his toys & observing bugs rather then playing video games.
    Dean however has been writing for 23 years about video games & I assume playing them for much longer.
    (Please LIKE 👍🏻 & share the video as it really helps promote the video & the channel, sub if you want to).
    I have no Issue with Dean. You don’t have to be great at games to enjoy them. It turns out you don’t even have to be great at them to write good articles on them either! Maybe that in itself reflects on the awesomeness of video games....

      I think games should have a kid mode, where the text is simplified and easy to understand. It would also help people who only know basic English of there are no language options.

    The left shows someone who is careful and considerate; still learning and figuring things out, and taking their time to pay attention to the little details that most people miss, so they can understand what's going on as best as they can. Like most kids. Inquisitive and curious about the world around them.
    The right shows someone who's impatient and expects everything to just happen for them. They don't want to pay attention to any of the subtleties or nuances. They just want it to happen. Like most adults. Entitled and always in a rush.

      Always in a rush. That's the part that gets me. When I was a kid, I learned that most people start skim reading as a habit when they grow older, usually around adolescence, whereas kids almost always take their time. It's kinda sad how we feel more like we're wasting our time as we grow older when we stop to pay attention to things for too long.

    Wait... S the one who *SLAMED HIS FACE* into the wall and took ages to figure out that you need to jump into a thing to reach high places was *NOT* a five years old, but rather a man who is used to playing games and that *CAN READ?!?*
    Edit: the replies somehow turned into an argument, but let me be clear.
    This is a _TUTORIAL_ . The vast majority of modern games have them - *INCLUDING TURN BASED GAMES.* In fact, depending on the company who made the game *_ESPECIALLY_* turn based games have tutorials.
    For all I care this man could be dedicated to exclusively playing Barbie Fairytopia games. *FOLLOW - THE - TUTORIAL!*
    Anyone who knowingly ignores the tutorial is almost inherently doomed to get beaten by any _not generous_ game.
    I would have assumed a 5 years old child to ignore the tutorial in a kind of "I know what I'm doing (not)" kinda thing. Or at the very least to not pay enough attention and to struggle as a consequence.
    Here lies my issue : apparently the video portraying an ignorant dashing repeatedly into a wall before figuring out that he needed to try something else was an adult.
    If this is true, I DO NOT care about IGN, journalism, or whatever. This is a person with underdeveloped *basic problem solving skills.*

    You can see the kid learning as he plays, reading the instructions and learning the execution of them as the tutorial is designed to allow. And then you have Takahashi on the other side. A "games" journalist.
    Your kid is only about 40 seconds off from being a games journalist lol
