Where's the "Can't really say because the douches never released a PC version." option?

I really liked it, it was completely over the top and outrageous. It was a nice breath of fresh air amongst all the god damn FPS' that were clogging up the stores.

I played the demo, in which I spent the entire time button-mashing without any idea of what was happening. I'm reasonably certain at one point I was fighting a load of enemies on a clock tower that's falling through space in all different directions.

I wouldn't say I liked it, but I certainly wouldn't say I disliked it either. I sort of want to play the full game 'cos I'm sure there are moments where the entire screen isn't a clusterfuck of physics-defying movement, I could probably enjoy it.

Admittedly, the storyline in Bayonetta is quite ridiculous. But the voice acting for the heroine is delivered with aplomb. The level design and art direction are superb; and the final portion of the game is a glorious succession of wonders. I defy anyone to say that the fight with Jeanne, near the end, is not up to par with any of the scenes in Kill Bill. In my not so humble opinion, Bayonetta is one of the high-water marks of this generation.

Currently my GOTY.

Just gotta beat Infinite Climax.

Hard's done...
Last time I left it, I was at the last fight with Jeanne. Lack of Witch Time is not making that an easy confrontation.

Easily one of the best games of the year, if you must ask. Everyone else is wrong. And mad.

I never even played it. I'd rather play Devil May Cry a few times than to play Bayonetta. There's just nothing positive I can say from the impression I got from the demo.

I almost picked "No, but I want to," as a response to "Did you like Bayonetta." Because, yes, I did want to like it, but it had some flaws that deeply marred the experience. I wish it was a valid candidate for a remake, because with a little polish and tweaking, it could be an excellent game and live up to it's predecessor, Devil May Cry. All the flaws are shallow blemishes on the surface, but the fact that the game is meant to be replayed until mastery means these few flaws are multiplied by how many times you replay the game, in fact, the game has a negative replay value.

Also, Japanese voices, please. I don't know if the voice "acting" was supposed to be intentionally bad, but even if it was, I'm not really a fan of that.

I voted for "No, but I want to." The only reason for that however was in order to make the number of votes for that option total 69...yeah :3

I did play it and I quite enjoyed it. Not the best game I've played, but it's not the worst either.

I thought it was a fucking horror show from the minute the characters started talking.

It's hard for me to like a game when it throws so much cringe-worthy shit at me, like Italian and black stereotypes...And they did that in the first five minutes.

Also, making a game or movie over the top does not automatically make it awesome. Sometimes it just makes it shit.
