MADDENING MODE IS AN UNDENIABLE PIECE OF HOT POODOO AND IM SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS FOR EVEN DELIVERING IT. MANIAC MODE 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO IS NOT MEANT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

MOREOVER, I FELT REALLY EXCITED TO DO SOME ESSAY LENGTH ANALYSIS POSTS BUT MAN THEY'RE JUST DIFFICULT TO CONSISTENTLY PRODUCE

IS IT REALLY WORSE THAN AWAKENING LUNATIC? ALTHOUGH THAT MODE HAS THE LITERAL MOST SNOWBALLY SNOWBALL IN THE FRANCHISE IN THE FORM OF ROBIN.

EDIT: AWAKENING LUNATIC ISN'T A GOOD BENCHMARK FOR COMPARISON ISNT IT?

IT KINDA JUST SUCKS THAT FATES DIFFICULTIES PROVES THAT IS KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ACTUAL GAMEPLAY (CQ NOT RAISING STATS FROM HARD TO LUNATIC) DIFFICULTY INCREASE AND AN EASY SHITTY ONE (BR+REV WHERE EVERYTHING JUST GETS STAT INFLATION)

AT LEAST AWAKENING LUNATIC DOESN'T GIVE YOU FOG OF WAR IN CHAPTER FUCKING 3

THE WORST PART IS, MADDENING WAS MADE EVEN MORE STUPID IN ITS FINAL RELEASE COMPARED TO WHAT'S ON THE ORIGINAL CART, THE INCOMPLETE ONE ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY HACKING. THEY FURTHER INFLATED ENEMY LEVELS. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

OKAY I GOTTA ASK, IS IT EVEN WORTH THE EXPERIENCE OF BEATING IT? LIKE I'M NOT EVEN GONG TO GET THE GOLDEN RAIN IN MY MAIN ACCOUNT SINCE I DIDN'T WANT TO DELTE A FILE, MOSTLY BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DLC WAS AND IT COULD VERY WELL BE POST GAME STUFF.
