Zero Punctuation: Bayonetta

[Mercsenary]

YAY WIDESCREEN! LESS BLACK BARS! I still have black bars on the side though I suspect that might just be me...

Awesome review!

Loved the Pac-Man bit

Same here... i had to rewind a bit cause I didn't hear the next part over my own laughing.

Probably be getting this next week on Gamefly. They are sending me Demon Soul's right now!

 

[jackelbeaver]

I want that pillow

Why was the Chupa Chupa Russian?

This was a pretty funny review, I mean I like all Yahtzee's reviews but this was the first one in a while I'd laughed out loud at. Especially at the vampires being likened to 'solar powered disco balls.' I hate Twilight.

I wish the forums had the ability to LIKE, or Give Green/Bonus/Points to people for good quotes or things that make you laugh.. so I could Green you for your twilight comment.

 

[DPutna17]

I'm sure happy I only rented this game. All the other reviews said it was good but like yahtzee said it was adequate at breast

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Oh shit, Yahtzee ripped on Twilight.

Hope he's ready for ten million billion death threats from Twitards. (Seriously)

Good review. agree that the QTE were extremely poorly placed. but Also since you apparently have all 3 systems. it's your own fault for getting the PS3 version. since the game comes out later in australia you would have had at least a week to find out that the xbox version has no load times and better graphics

The game came out in Australia on January 7th.

all mention PS3's shortcomings

Correction. All mention the PS3 VERSION's shortcomings. But anyway your grammar on that last sentence didn't make much sense. It would have been more accurate to say "since the game CAME out later in Australia". And Yahtzee seems to have an informal policy of not looking up information about games in advance because he doesn't want to create expectations. This is apparently the main reason he avoids demos. But from time to time this also apparently results in Yahtzee playing an inferior version of a game. Case in point: The Force Unleashed. The same thing may have happened this time OR maybe he was aware of the inferiority of the PS3 version and chose it anyway for reasons of his own.

Brilliant as always, I can't understand the obsession with my friends over this game, I just cannot get into it. Maybe years of playing the DMC series means I can only love them.

 

[Belbe]

Not very interested in the game, but I'm now going to look up some gameplay videos just to see how long her legs are lol. Spirit Tracks and Professor Layton sucking up all my time...

Oops forgot it's a bunch of Nintendo haters here

 

[RC-1290'Dreadnought']

Ah, I like watching it in wider screen aspect ratio. Step by step you're moving closer towards cinemascope.

 

[Sven und EIN HUND]

Excellent. Brilliant.

 

[PedrosPizza]

hahaha... looks like I won't be getting Bayonetta afterall, due to the lack of money and that it is shit... =P

 

[outcast_within]

How about next time not review the version that is broken?
shakes head ps3 version really? U did it on purpose right so you got an extra thing to complain about.

 

[Boneasse]

Less angry than last week. A good thing I reckon!

Anyways, a nice review as always. Has me rethinking whether or not to get it.

 

[MercurySteam]

I have to say I agree with this wholeheartedly. I was as confused as Yahtzee is as to what the hell I was watching. But I'll be honest. I was pretty damn entertained.

Then I was mad because I got the "stone medal". Screw you, game! I beat you! Isn't that sufficient?

If you want better than a stone trophy you'll need to go back and play the levels again without dying so much or using many items. Sounds easy right? Don't worry, the more you play the better you get.

Right?

Okay, in all fairness a patch for the PS3 version of the game is on the way and it allegedly goes a long way toward improving the loading time issues. Of course it was made by Sony, not Sega. I wish I was surprised. The Sega developers have obviously never had lunch with the Naughty Dog developers so to speak.

 

[MercurySteam]

Here's the two main issues for the PS3 version for thos who don't know: "Frequent, lengthy load times and frame rate hiccups during high-action sequences."

It's kinda odd since the PS3 is the last console that should have these problems, but I guess it's all in the (poorly done) porting.

 

[WaderiAAA]

One of the funniest videos ever - right up there with Guitar Hero III

 

[inpachi]

This has to be one of my all time favorites! I loved the "Like Devil May Cry(BUT)" haha! Cuz its so true haha!
