As some of you may have already noticed the review score for the PS3 version of Bayonetta has been changed to an 8.0. Apologies to everyone, but when I posted my reviews for this game I personally made an error and incorrectly posted the PS3 version with a score of 8.5, which was not intended. We have since corrected this and appended an editor's note that addresses this. Sorry guys!

Does this mean GS is "paid by M$" again? :roll:SpiritOfFire117
no, if you have been paying attention to any of PS3 Bayonetta news for last few months since Japanese demo in TGS (I believe it was TGS), this is pretty obvious score

Awesome. So happy this game continues to get the recognition it deserves. I'll be picking up the 360 version tomorrow. Can't wait to play it!

Now that the PS3 score was changed to an 8 my predictions were right on the money. I'm happy that the "true" version of the game got AAA.

When IGN gave the ps3 version of bayonetta an 8.2, a full 1.3 points lower than the 9.5 given to the 360 version, I held my breath, becoming greatly concerned with the quality of the PS3 version. And now GS gives Bayonetta PS3 an 8.0, a full grade lower than 9.0 on 360, confirming what everyone's been worrying about : Bayonetta on PS3 is not just a bad port, but possibly the worst port witnessed this generation. Still, for a PS3-only owner like myself, is this game still a worthy purchase and in a playable form, considering that framerate hiccups can sink as low as down to the 10s? I'm a nut for hack & slash games like DMC and GOW, and Bayonetta seems to trump them both in the combat system.

Actually does this make GS relevent again? I remember the 360 crowd moaning about DA scoring .5 less on the 360 ...

Wow, Gamespot liked Bayonetta! :shock: They have come a long way. I thought it wasn't going to be one of GS's fave's like it would be mine.

Hideki Kamiya FTW! The PS3 version got a great score (subpar as it is), but the 360 version did uber amazing (SPECTACULAR). A shame Kamiya san and his team didn't make the PS3 version.:(

Now, let's hope gamers bother to buy it and play it! I have a feeling other than the news about Kamiya not making the PS3 version, gamers won't buy the game! Go buy it!

I posted a list of differences in a thread around here, but needless to say the 360 version is the version to buy, if you got the hardware. If not, get the PS3 version, as it's still decent, but inferior.

Obvious or not, in a fanboy's eyes giving one version of a game a higher score than the other means the reviewer was biased or in a corporation's pocket or some other wild theory.

Why is the TC Misinforming in his OP and in the Thread Title? Did I miss something? It's a .5 difference...

*Hmmmm...*

Read the post above and you'll see. Click the links too. GameSpot made a typo and the Internets went too fast for them to fix it before info was posted. And as you can see you were misinformed too. A domino effect, but it's been fixed.

I edited quite some time ago mate. ;) Sorry you had to read my first post, it was after I read the OP, clicked the links, and came back that it puzzled me. :P

I'm glad to see it's a glitch, when I used your links, it reported wrong. I then read through the entire thread, and found out it's a glitch.I then fixed my post befory you posted this, so that was odd. I'm just glad all is well. Great game for PS3, freakin' awsome great game for 360. I have had the 360 version reserved for over a year.

I'm more surprised GS actually loved it for either system, very good news indeed!

You gotta stay caught up on times; last time I checked Gamespot was suppose to be on Sony's payroll. Either way, everyone saw this one coming.

I'd buy Bayonetta but I want Mass Effect 2 more and I'm working on limited funds.

another watered down multiplat on PS3 is hardly surprising, that's kinf of what the console is there for

what's funny though is how bad the exclusives are for the PS3 this year. apart from god of war 3 what else is there?

I just want to know is the story worth to give a damn about? because i mostly love/like in a game is a great story or atleast a decent worth while one like Borderlands...at least it has something going for it like the vault and im interested to find it. But Bayonetta, i don't know...all i know is fighting off angels.

I really wish the PS3 version was as good as the 360 version, but I'm extremely glad to see this game score AAA. IMO, people had something against it for the stupidest reasons and I'm glad to see those people get owned. It's fine to not like the game, but some people were intent on hating this from the time info started trickling in about it.

Yakuza 3, Heavy Rain, GT5, Atelier Rorona, and White Knight Chronicles off the top of my head. But I'm not quite as hung up on exclusives as other PS3 owners on these forums are, so my list making ability leaves something to be desired.

Yes because it's in the same genre as a certain other game. I'm glad the developer is getting recognition for it's hard work, I hope sells are good to. :)

lemmings are typically more mature than cows. you might see some cows come in whining but i doubt there will be an all out offensive on cows by lemmings. except the extreme ones.

Yeah, definitely that (it's absurd that some people must compare everything in a knee-jerk sort of way).ALso, for some, there was gender-based reasons for hating the game.

I see no need for ownage to PS3 owners. They will arguably pass on a fantastic title because Sega didn't make sure it was ready to ship for both systems, or offer to keep the PS3 in development for another month or however long it took. If there is any ownage it's obviously on Sega for not shipping a product 100% and thus losing sales. Smart.

Try reading the reviews they pretty much tell you why all the 9's :)

I just want to know is the story worth to give a damn about? because i mostly love/like in a game is a great story or atleast a decent worth while one like Borderlands...at least it has something going for it like the vault and im interested to find it. But Bayonetta, i don't know...all i know is fighting off angels.



1- Borderlands story is :lol: worthy

2- It's not a great story, it's just cheesy and over the top. THink Devil May Cry, the story is just there for you to laugh at
