That's probably the best summary analysis of Deadly Premonition online and you should turn it into an article.
I have nothing substantive to really respond with. Stellar post.

And your rating?

I definitely think he showed promise when DP and D4 released but I don't really give a shit what he does now.
He's "fallen in with a bad crowd" as they say. Just like Suda.
Even if it's hopeless I'm still paying attention. What else am I gonna do?

You're the one who named the thread "Good games that you...".
If I didn't think it was a good game in spite of it's flaws then I wouldn't have mentioned SH3 in this thread.

Whenever I'm feeling bored
Or even feeling blue
I think about contrarians
And what it is they do

Not just what it is, though
Also why they do it
I, myself, am guilty
If hypocrisy were beauty, I'd be Jennifer Love Hewitt

Well, 90s Hewitt, at least
The current one fucked up her face
But I digress from this poem's topic
I shall get back to it, at a speedy pace

Contrarianism
Is it humble bragging?
Or like the boasts of a midlife crisis
A Dad in a Hummer, his balls secretly sagging?

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
Infamous for its difficulty
Old school, fun but a damned hard thing
Its hardness is fair. It's no Elden RIng

What does he who claims that the game
"is one of the easiest" stand to gain?
He already has respect around here
If I met him in real life, hell, I'd buy him a beer!

But Rondo is widely considered the hardest CV
At least in every magazine to ever belong to me
If it's easy for YOU, that's different and awesome
But to state it with confidence, skilled fakery like an opossum

Or perhaps not fakery
Perhaps it's really the truth
You find it the easiest
The whole series? Pretty easy too.

But me? When I'm bored...
Or maybe feeling down...
I think of the statement that Rondo is easiest
And I burst into laughter like a monkey-toothed clown

Are you thinking of the snes version? That one is impossible, but RoB on PC engine is one of the easiest classicvanias next to SCV4. CV1, 3, Bloodlines, Chronicles are all harder.

It’s my understanding that there is no true Rondo on SNES, technically. Just an inferior so-called “remake” that is so different they called it Dracula X. The original Japanese Rondo on the PC engine, which we finally only ever officially got over here in the West with the remake on PSP (confusingly called Dracula X Chronicles, despite it not being the SNES game Dracula X, but the original Rondo game from Japan, just with 3-D models and spruced up graphics) and later in the Rondo of Blood/Stmphony of the Night collection on last gen.

The ones you list as being much harder I also consider hard. In fact, the common consensus is that most of the pre-Igavania titles are all extremely difficult (not that I agree with the “X many people agree so it can’t be wrong!” approach, but this isn’t about if Bon Jovi is listenable, but instead something that, while still partially a subjective thing, is a tad objective also). I still remember Rondo of Blood’s almost mythical status when it was still only in Japan, a game that many said was considered the best Castlevania, but was also crushingly difficult. It’s Japan-only status and infamy for its difficulty made it a holy grail of sorts for more “hardcore” game fans.

So, I think it must just come down to you being naturally good at it, which is awesome! However, calling it one of the easiest just struck me as funny, as it’s contrary to one of the only sole things we in the West knew for sure about it before we got it, which was its reputation for its difficulty.

I only ever 100% games I love so that fact, along with some QOL improvements in the ROB/SOTN two-pack that came out, led to me doing so with both games. I can only speak for myself, but Rondo was a ton of fun and is probably the perfect CV to me. It also, though, was NOT easy.

But maybe I just suck.
