Comment on Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Hands-On Preview: What a Wonderful Night to Have a Curse

I don’t like it when titles that contain names of things have all their words’ initials capitalized. I find my brain having to work hard to find the last word in the name. Partly because title grammar in general is so convoluted, as well.

No; I am even practicing speed reading at times.

Articles and game titles both use title casing though, so it’s grammatically correct. They could have at least put the game title in quotes to make it clearer, though.
The game is called Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse.

I did get it after a few seconds, thanks.
I know it’s “correct”, it’s just very bad. There really is absolutely no need whatsoever for using capitalization like this. Zero defensible point to it, IMO. All it serves to do is add extra mental overhead. Just like the weird “why use many word when few ok” grammatical structure.
It only sounds extremely pretentious to me. Especially when sometimes the author doesn’t really master the language in the rest of the article. (Not saying this was the case here though.)

I think the ideal would be if we could italicise titles, but we can’t.

I think the ideal would be to stop unnecessary capitalization. 🙂
Why do you want capitalization?
