hmm time to visit japan..the store of course

Oh snap! Going to go download it now!

I still have failed to see why this game is such a big to some people. I mean, there are like 3 other games like it all coming out within the next 6 months. One of them being God of War 3. Is it because it's a half naked hot librarian chick who fight with her hair? Ya, that must be it.

Thanks for the heads up.

well this is wannabe when you put it next to GoW so the discussion won't be healthy

I didn't know Kratos could turn into different beasts and just rock the house like that.

Nah, she's not half naked. She has a body suit. She only gets half naked if you pull off her larger combos.

I'm into her because she's different. When was the last time you saw a female with gun heels and glasses?

Now, when was the last time you saw a muscled male with anger issues? lol, All the time.

Female leads are few and far in between, but when you get one with a design that's this unique... you've got something special. You should give it a chance before you judge based on what you've seen. I've played both God of War games and I didn't like either of them. They were fun video games, but Kratos character was too stale. Same with Ninja Gaiden.. it's boring to me.

The "I'm a badass and I know it" thing is played out.

The "I'm delicious and I know it" is in.

The amount of times I've said "Holy Crap!" during this demo is too many to count. If only the menus and items were in English I'd import this in a second. I still might do it though because the controls are user friendly since they show you on the screen what buttons to press.

In case you didn't read my entire post, I haven't brought judgment upon Bayonetta yet. I was simply asking why it's been idolized so much in the presence of heavy weight style sharers such as GOW3, and Dante's Inferno.

Maybe it's because some people actually did some research, read some previews, and looked at the staff's track-record to decide that this game met many of their interests as opposed to those "heavy weights".

I mean, don't get me wrong - God of War is a great franchise. I enjoyed both of the games thoroughly. However, there was absolutely zero charm or appeal to it at all for me. It's not Bayonetta herself that's intriguing (although she does help). It's the faster-paced combat mixed with the music and theme. I mean, sure - they could give Kratos fast-assed combos, crazy gun-wielding action, slow-mo, and jazzy soundtracks, but that wouldn't be God of War now, would it? I have no problem with what God of War is doing because it does it so well. God of War should stay as God of War. However, I see Bayonetta as a completely different game with many different features and elements which appeal to more of my interests than any God of War game would.

tl;dr: Both are different games. Bayonetta's not "in the presence of heavy weight style sharers such as GOW3, and Dante's Inferno" because it's somewhere else.

EDIT: Damn, it looks like Scianix pretty much paraphrased my entire post minutes before I even posted this.

Whether you, or Scianx, wanna admit it, Bayonetta will undoubtedly be compared to GOW3 and Dante's Inferno. Not because I'm comparing them myself, but because they are alike, gameplay-wise that is. Maybe not pinpoint, just "alike." Therefore, my question is valid and acceptable. "Because it's different." C'mon, really? Your lucky hazel stepped in and elaborated upon you half-***ed answer Scianx. No offense BTW.

isnt on the japan store or US? and is it going to hit on the US store as well tomorrow(basically later on today) i really am super excited about this game, cant wait to get my hands on it, thanks TC ur the man!

P.S i care about bayonetta lol

It's the same genre as God of War and Ninja Gaiden, but it's got it's own sense of style. It practically oozes it. I wasn't ever worried about gameplay because regardless of what kind of game it was, I was going to buy it simply for Bayonetta's design.

I don't know about other people, but I idolize Bayonetta because the character design is one of the most interesting I've ever seen.

They can go ahead and compare them all they want then. Those people are the ones looking at games in an incredibly shallow manner. Either way, I hope I've cleared of your original query of "I still have failed to see why this game is such a big deal to some people". It's because it simply appeals to us in many ways - like Kingdom Hearts appeals to you. That's how things work, right? Some people actually like things. Crazy - I know. :Phazelnutman

Uhh, Kingdom Hearts was kind of a bad example to get your point across. KH stands by itself among the crowds for obvious reasons. Bayonetta....not so much.

I posted a link to a video I made from the demo. It's in the impressions thread. Check it out if you want.

Well, considering the fact that almost every industry analyst and media outlet has been using and comparing GOW3, Bayonetta, and Dante's Inferno in the same sentence since they were all announced.....you know where I'm going with this. Your talking out of your *** dude. Plain and simple.

OMG thanks for letting us know, I didnt know that. Have been waiting for a very long time to play this game, looks freakin awesome and I loved DMC.

Thanks!

I have been pleasently suprised so far with games/demos this month. I was expecting just another DMC clone but the gameplay was pretty fun. I didn't have a chance to play to whole demo but it's a nice mix.

Want to touch me?

[QUOTE="KH-mixerX"]

[QUOTE="jerkface96"] hahahahaha why would Bayonetta be compared to GOW or Dantes Inferno If anything Dantes Inferno is being compared to GOW And Bayonetta if anything will be compared to DMC or NG, in fact you cant even mention GOW and Bayonetta in the same sentence because there so DIFFERENT THAN EACH OTHER, besides the whole hack n slash gameplay. jerkface96

It's funny how people here keep automatically assuming I don't like this game. I have yet to say one bad thing about it. The only thing I've presented about it so far is it's similarities towards other games in it's particular genre. I haven't even played the demo yet, therefore I'm not in any place to pass judgment on it. And hazel, don't give me that ridiculous argument about the "nobleness" and "honor," or as you put it, "sport" of debating. I've been demonized since I walked into this thread. And only because I've been one of the few(maybe the only) people here who hasn't been fawning over Bayonetta. I throw one mean comment out and I get a lecture. C'mon hazel, look at this dude's last post. Don't tell me it wasn't completely sarcastic and unnecessary. Why didn't he get a lecture? Was it because I was more straight forward with my insult? Or was it because that I'm not on your side of the debate? Again, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just think about it, kay?;)
