Poll: Bayonetta..

[Souplex]

I am not fond of the Devil May Cry gameplay formula.
If I were I would definitely get Sarah Palin the Book the game.

 

[Aura Guardian]

I won't. I didn't like it. And this is the same developers that made the awesome Madworld? Stick with Madworld Platinum.

Having played Bayonetta all the way, and now going through for platinum medals, I have to say that I think everyone has missed the point of the character and the game.

I don't find videogame characters sexy really, possibly because I know there's nothing really there. I don't think the character is really fanservice in the sense that the game designers particularly want idiots drooling over her (though I accept they inevitably will).

The comparisons to DMC 4 are also flawed. DMC is obviously a heavy influence, but the gameplay is far more reminiscent of Hideki Kamiya's lesser known Viewtiful Joe. The dodge move and slow motion mechanic come straight from the cartoon brawler, as does the basic but deep combat system (no multiple stances or storing energy etc. in Bayonetta or VJ) and unlockable characters. And this is where the whole point of Bayonetta becomes apparent: It's not about sex. It's about style. Buckets of style.

Bayonetta's designed to meet that sexy image. But the only reason she looks that way is because it fits in with the whole effortlessly cool, slick and over-the-top fighting style. Hell the ending is even set in space like VJ. Bayonetta's amazing.

Okay. No sense of real definable character. I know it's just a hack n' slash sort of game in the style of Devil May Cry or Castlevania. Couple this with a character who's only stimulation is her bodice, and I find the game very, very lacking. Sure the combat was nice, flippy, trippy, dippy, but it was so tiresome after a while (playing the demo).

I just don't like those sorts of games anymore, I suppose.

I'm still fappin' of course...

I got it because the gameplay was awesome, not because I'm a sexually repressed teenager.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

No, I find that sort of thing degrading to women.

There, someone said it for me. Thanks.

Also, you don't control porn on the interbutts. But Bayonetta is under your full control.

You can buy interactive dvd's though.

I think it's pretty sad to get worked up over computer animations or to even call one sexy, same goes for (what I class as) cartoon porn, I used to have friends who liked it.

I like to be different but there are limits.

I don't like the gameplay either 'cos I hated DMC, I found it repetitive and boring as hell, the weapons were boring and I couldn't get into the story.

Bayonetta seems worse, she attacks with guns in her heel, how the hell is she aiming and pulling the trigger? And with her hair, I would love to be in that meeting when they decided that was a "cool" idea.

It just seems ludicrous to me.

Just my opinion.

I actually don't really enjoy porn, but the objectification of women in my video games is awesomeness.

And Bayonetta ain't porn, I doubt there's any actually nudity, it's just strongly suggested that the millisecond of bare flesh you just witnessed was in fact a nipple, or pube.

It's Devil may Cry with Danta/Nero replaced with a hot chick with guns on her shoes and demon hair. Why don't you see the logic here? This is made of pure faptastic win.

Also, you don't control porn on the interbutts. But Bayonetta is under your full control.

I bought the game because the action and gameplay were over the top awesome.

Just curious, you visit 4chan often?

 

[Vel Getica]

Erm, you know there is the internet, just swelling up with porn?

You don't have to spend 50 moneys on something you can get more of for free.

So yeah, if I was getting it, it would be for the gameplay.

He took mine

 

[k1assik]

Gameplay for sure, looks pretty intense.

 

[Soren91]

It's like Devil May Cry. That is my sole reason for wanting Bayonetta.

I played the demo and the combat felt so smooth I almost jizzed myself. I hope that if they make another Devil May Cry game it will take a page out of Bayonetta's book.

 

[berault]

Everyone's going off about "gameplay and scantily clad women" now i've played the demo (some of it) and from what i've seen Bayonetta (if that's her name) wears a full body latex suit, which shows off nothing, and the gameplay does nothing original, seems like a DMC clone (which I admit that it probably is) i'd rather play as Nero then Bayonetta(?) any day. At least Nero had that demon hand.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Actually, it was the faptastic nature of the game that turned me off of it in the first place. After the loads of positive reviews came in and I found out that it was actually a damn excellent action game, I've since looked past its more over-sexed elements and considered giving the game a look.

Perhaps I shall rent it when I am finished with my current line-up of games, which consists entirely of Tekken 6. Thankfully I've yet to get bored with it.
