GameSpot Bayonetta Review 9.0 (360) 8.0 (PS3) - Keep it here or face suspension

[QUOTE="Idream2010"]im surprised at the lack of flack the ps3 version is getting since its 1 whole point below the 360 version. ChartTopper93

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, not even. They may not post as much flame bait, but when it comes to "ownage" they're just as bad.Only reason there isn't a lot of flack is because everyone expected as much as soon as it was announced there'd be a different dev team.

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.

I agree, you win some you lose some, I personally will not support this type of fiasco myself, they can keep it. Why would I pay the same amount for something that is obviously not as good? They got me messed up, there are to many other good games, and $ is to tight,to warrent a purchase of this on the PS3, Darksiders comes out today aswell.

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

Why couldn't an HDD install fix the PS3 version?

Frequently long load times and Frame rate hiccups during high action scenes seem like qualifying symptoms that are usuallt remedied with a quick install to the HDD. Especially the loading times. I heard Sony was getting involved with the NA release, was that just a untrue rumor? Anyway, I bought a 360 just in time, I will be picking this up tomorrow.

[QUOTE="XxSTILL_BORNxX"]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.XxSTILL_BORNxX

well i hope ps3 only owners dont by the ps3 version of the game they could have delayed the game and fix the issues both consoles have been long enough on the market to make the game equel somewhat at least

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

Nobody can really say they didn't see this one coming. Great scores on both platforms. I'll be getting it for PS3

XxSTILL_BORNxX

I'll let ya know once I play it

I haven't had a chance to read the entire review, but was their only complaint with the 360 version some minor camera issues? The reviews for this game are looking promising. Unfortunate that I need to hold off until I pick up a 360; maybe this weekend. ;_;

Heavy Rain, 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.thunderf00t

seriously cows? you've went from uncharted 2 to a game in which you make sandwiches with quik time events and 2 rpgs that got flop scores in japan , one of which is made by gust

that's pretty sad

Make sandwiches with QTE :lol: brilliant.

Guys why are you acting suprised? There are TONS of games better on 360 and yet cows will never relize this and still say "doesnt bother me".

They will also bring up Dragon age WHICH the XBOX 360 version had no technical problems and played fine unlike the crappy PS3 version of many many games

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]Does this mean GS is "paid by M$" again? :roll:Lionheart08

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.

i'm hardly a fanboy. this its just something i've noticed in traits on here. if you havent, thats on you. i have nothing against the ps3 in any way, shape, or form. so save it please.

different preceptions i guess...

[QUOTE="hy4k"]

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 disagree.

I only have a Ps3 but This doesn't affect me at all, I have zero interest in buying or Playing this game, its a shame for those who want it. Its frustrating that after three years in the market, half way through the consoles lifespan this is still happening. Sony didn't fix anything at all.

I might get it when the price drops after seeing these positive reviews. For now, I need my money for ME2.

I feel like this is not Sony's fault. This is just a faila' to communicate sega and Sony

As someone who regularly rails on cows, I do have to say that lemmings are really not inherently more "mature". They are just not obsessively brand loyal in the utterly bizzare super-extreme way that cows are (sheep were once like this, but they've mellowed out). Cows are just in their brand loyalty meltdown phase right now (again, sheep most liely were once like this). It has nothing to do with them as people. It has more to do with their situation. The fall from dominance was brutal and it alienates them to see the tables turned, causing massive damage (points to anybody who can figure out where that phrase comes from) to the collective fanboy pysche and thus they seem to act more "extreme". Lemmings might very well act the same way in the future if they develop the same amount of brand loyalty over time.

Course it's not Sony's fault. Overly-complicated architecture or not, it is the folks at Sega who made the bad port.

Great score but I still have virtually no interest in the game. I might pick it up one day when it hits the bargain bin.

[QUOTE="XxSTILL_BORNxX"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]

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

I like DMC series. I played the demo of bayonetta and I didint find nothing mindblowing about it same goes for all the vids for it. It just looks like dmc with boobs and finishers. I never found dmc to be deep but it was fun. Bayonetta is a game I will buy when it gets cheap.

fair enough.

I won't get it immediately anyway.

2010 AAA: XBOX360 - 1 PS3 - 0 Good start for the 360. themyth01

Lol....

Wasn't sony suppose to help them fix it? Well I guess not.

Nice start to the year for the 360. I wish i could get this tomorrow but I want to get Mass Effect 2, then Splinter Cell, then Final Fantasy 13. Guess I will wait until the summer. Man this year is going to be great.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]

[QUOTE="XxSTILL_BORNxX"]Yeah but interested me into giving a damn and finding the vault. :P I dont know, i guess i'll pick it up along with Darksiders tomorrow. Since many claim its that good, then im willing to get it. I hope i don't get disappointed because judging from the demo it was not worth a 9.

Yeowch.

First multiplat I have planed to buy for the 360 in a while.

wow a 9.0, nice I said it a while a ago, this game will give God Of War 3 a run for their money, the game is just explosive all around.

I've played the PS3 import version in friend's and while the game plays normal, there was an amount of polish that was needed so I Im gonna get the 360 version.

As for PS3 owners, the game is fine, it is just not crisp like DMC4, the colors are a bit bland and there are minor framerate issues so its enjoyable, don't worry alot guys.

At least GS is more accurate this time and scored the PS3 version what it deserves, unlike some other glitchy buggy game that involved dragons :x

i can agree to this to an extent. in the coming years the tables might be turned again and roles will be reversed. but i came into system wars at the end of the last gen until now. and from what i remember they've always been boorish and foul. always twisting or trying to manipulate to come out on top. it's been constant. which makes me look more at the person or people more so than the situation. not to say all cows or ps3 owners are like some of the extremist out here. that wouldnt be right to say. but the ones that are extreme...its amazing to see them in action sometimes. "last is the new first...console graphics king allowed, console exclusive, not"....a ps3 games score high on here and the boards get flooded for days n weeks. you just don't see that kind of nonsense from lemmings much. you see it, yes. but with cows its an everyday occurrence...in volumes. its just differences between factions that i've noticed while being here.that i know i'll get "flamed" for speaking lol.

the end result is, these are video game consoles and deserve no loyalty whatsoever. these three corporations give two figs about us really. and only really care about how to sway more money out of us and fast. so any fanboy is ridiculous to me. making either group immature to me in thinking, by opinion(not to say i'm so mature or above anyone). with cows having more members on the fanatic, delusional side i signaled them out as the more immature and closed-minded of the three. with lemmings i see a lot more instances of them giving the benefit of doubt or open mindedness to different situations in the gaming world and games. even to the point of conceding. much more adult traits. with extreme cows(which there are way more of), no go. sony all the way. even if a game is multi-plat they'll dog it because its on the 360....DMC4, DA:O, Bayonetta, MW2, even the new MGS game coming gets blasted. its all very strange, sad, and young minded. "no you can't play with this toy, it's mines!".

Awesome score. I kind of predicted a 8.5 - 9.0 score.

I'm getting this and Darksiders for $40 each tomorrow.

Only 5 days in 2010 and my social life is already over.

:lol: I KNEW there would be a sticky for this! Still, that's a huge difference across both platforms (I was guessing a .5 deduction on the PS3 version). I'm still getting it on PS3, though...(the only console I own right now :P). DethSkematik

actually i really thought GS would give PS3 version .10 difference because of the massive difference IGN gave to both version. But i think PS3 version is ok and playable.

9 and an 8 gives us 8.5 which equals to a flopped game, considering everyone hyped it to be the gow3 killer and that it would score 9.5....

sorry to disappoint but it didnt live up to the hype
