An interesting sentiment.
Assuming Mr. Foddy is talking about the Hard Gaming: in my layman's experience, defeat is not elusive, nor is it stingy. All are welcomed to eat, drink and be salty, with a lifetime's provisions just a ROMZ away. Meanwhile, the GDLK tell of enduring many Big Mouthfuls before at last vaulting the dais and bitch-slapping the nefarious host.
It's not a mindset I would associate with the GDLK, who know the trials of pursuing Big Dick Numbers - but nor would I ascribe it to the Scrub, that cur who would reduce us to his cry-wanking level before ever examining his own faults. It seems a hard path to take, and while I may question its productivity, I would not deny its discipline. The twofold outrage of the Scrub - to first cry, then wank - would be less odious were he similarly discreet, but I suppose then he would not cry and wank to begin with. Arrogance and ignorance, chicken and egg, etc etc.
So.. Castlevania Dracula X has a pretty meh ending no?
Being limited to a still frame apiece, the one that hits hardest inevitably wins... and that is, comically,
WORST END. I really dig that lonesome sepia vision of Richard
(Richter's arthritic twin brother) taking the long ride home.
Alone, all alone. Its like
SPLATTERHOUSE III, and shit!
I do like that enigmatic half-smile Dracula gives after his body ASPLODE, before he vanishes in the morning sun. Its like HE KNOW this has happened before... and will surely happen again!
An everlasting cycle, a
RONDO of sorts!
BTW, just like you should pose with Death's auto-decapitated corpse,
so should you with fallen DORAKYURA-SAMA, for that JOSEPH v WAMMU
Turbo GAR shonen battle aesthetic!
