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

[QUOTE="mD-"]

Bayonetta may have the deeper fast paced combat, but it will be probably missing the epicness and overall shock/brutality that god of war brings.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"] whatever it is, i like it :3 I've never listened to j-pop so i dunno.Vandalvideo

I'm getting Darksiders over Bayonetta. I might get Bayonetta later on but seeing as the PS3-version runs like crap compared to the 360-version I think I'll pass. I'm not going to spend my money on a product that is inferior to it's counterpart, yet, the same price.

Uhh did GS just drop the ps3 version's score by 0.5?

Like you played the full game of bayonetta :roll:

I was never really interested in this game.

But does this count as an AAA for the 360 and AA for the PS3?

I loved the demo on 360 a lot, and it is on my to-get list. But still, I'm holding out for Castlevania Lords of Shadow. But maybe down the road I'll be able to get both :)

Not to mention Mass Effect 2 will occupy my gaming time probably for the next 2 months.

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] not exclusives. but yes they count as AAA and AA games for the 360/PS3 respectively. dsmccracken

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] Its exxclusively AAA on the 360 so its an AAAe for the 360 :P *stirs pot*CanYouDiglt

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"][QUOTE="dsmccracken"] It does get a bit tricky here. AAA usually assumes that a game is not exclusive, and that another system has that same game at that same score. If that isn't the case (like here), it seems like AAAE isn't correct, but plain AAA isn't completely descriptive either.blue_hazy_basic

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]It is just AAA nothing more. E= exclusive and the game is not exclusive but the 360 has a much better version. In the end it is AAA and nothing morenervmeister

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="nervmeister"]Two words: Blog it.nervmeister

[QUOTE="nervmeister"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] I'm sorry is it me saying its exclusively AAA on the 360 not applicable to this thread? Maybe you should blog about that. ;)blue_hazy_basic

I love how everyone is talking about the scores and not the game itself. Let it go fanboys.

Btw, I'm still up for the removal of system wars and changing it to game wars so we can argue about the best games for each genre and not about the platforms they are on. It would be so much more engaging and interesting rather than (X console has 3 more exclusives than Y console, therefore it's better and makes me feel good!).

It would have been more interesting if we all hadn't known this was coming. A substandard port done by someone other than the original developers and lots of feedback made this the least surprising score "shocker" probably of all of 2010. Apart from the 360 gaining an AAA over a AA for the PS3 there's not much ownage here.blue_hazy_basic

what games exactly are AAA to AA for ports. I know dragon age was AAA for PS3 AA for 360, This game obviously, Fallout 3 AAA for 360, AA for PS3, and orange box AAA for 360, AA for PS3. Am I missing any others?

i do a agree its very tame, I hate to say it but if this was the other way around you would see alot more fighting. I do think though that GS has more cows than lemmings.

[QUOTE="shalashaska88"]So I guess the demo was a good indication the game's final release. They didn't do anything to fix the erratic framerates after all. Dissapointing.IronBass

Nice to see 360 get the first AAA of 2010.

I thought the PS3 version got 8.5? Glad to see the score was fixed to reflect all the technical issues.

I think it's disappointing that they couldn't make the PS3 version as good.

If they didn't have glitches and problems with the 360 version then why couldn't it have been the same for the PS3 version?

Anyway, great score for the 360 version whereas comparatively, it's only a good one for the PS3 version.

I imported the PS3 version back in November because it was region free, and I enjoyed the hell out of it - it's far from unplayable, and I think the PS3 controller is better suited for it. That being said, the load times are quite bad, and I think that's the major issue. I'm going to pick up a copy for the 360 when it's cheaper so that I can see the visual differences for myself, but it's still looks pretty great to me on the PS3.

"loading screen every single time you want to pause the action, access your inventory or switch between submenus there, save or load your game, or pick up a new item. "

Wow. :lol:

I am glad i have a 360. I would hate to have to play this beautiful game on a PS3...in fact i probably would not play this game at all if i only had a PS3.

360 Version = AAA PS3 Version AA The version I'll end up getting is probably the PS3 version. An AA doesn't make the game unplayable so I'll still buy it. I always buy more PS3 multiplatform games anyway. But no denying the 360 has the superior version here. carlisledavid79

why?

[QUOTE="ChartTopper93"]

[QUOTE="Idream2010"]im surprised at the lack of flack the ps3 version is getting since its 1 whole point below the 360 version. jg4xchamp

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.

I'm actually also going to ask you why as well there carlisledavid76. This is one of those rare cases where graphical bugs and horrible preformance takes away fro the overall quality of the game. I don't know why you would willingly buy the version that is going to feel a lot less finished and less of a game.

90% of multiplats a few graphical hicups here and there aren't anything to worry about, but I've seen the differences myself. The game in areas looks completely different than the 360 version and the framerate is just horrible. For an action title this is really going to detract from the experiance.
