Sorry if this question has already been answered, but since it got a 9.0 on 360 only, does this constitute an "AAAE" for the 360? What's the official SW classification?

UnnDunn
The AAA score is exclusive to the Xbox 360, the game is not. I think the way it works here if the game is on other systems, it's not exclusive. But that spreadsheet shows another AAA game added to the 360 library list.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] Teeeechnically, since this is System Wars, the topic probably would be more about the score difference.BioShockOwnz

And that's completely fine. I mean I understand that the 360 version is superior and that the PS3 version has it's faults. But making it seem that we should only be talking about the 360 version is a bit ignorant because there is a great game here that PS3 only owners get to enjoy even if it is gimped.

The horrible loading justifies a pass on PS3. I wouldn't even recommend the PS3 version to my worst enemy. Stick with GoW or something. Supporting such poorly done ports is not the way I'd like to see people go. 8.0 doesn't sound bad, sure, but the loading, upon many other issues, is a dealbreaker. Only the 360 version exists as far as I'm concerned. Sega's poor port doesn't deserve any recognition. Either do it right or don't do it at all.

Is the loading worse that Mass Effect? I ask because the elevator is driving me crazy (and I have it installed).

[QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]So, the PS3 version of Bayonetta is broken beyond repair but Divinity II is definitely worth the purchase, right? :? You know what I say? No one should miss out on the game. The slow down issues are a problem, but not a gamebreaker, so why stop yourself from experiencing it? If the PS3 version was absolutely unplayable and as bad as you say, then it wouldn't have gotten a AA score. BioShockOwnz

Sure.

And it is as bad as I say. I'm just quoting Gamespot here.

Well, your not actually quoting GameSpot since they never actually said that. :? This is what a quote looks like: "Though frame rate issues, frequent and extended load times, and less-crisp graphics make the PlayStation 3 version inferior to its Xbox 360 counterpart, it is nonetheless still a very enjoyable experience." :| You done?

Played for a good 5 hours. Have to say, the game is amazing. Aside from the ok story, the gameplay is just fantastic and perfection when executing awesome moves. The demo sure didn't equal 0.0000 of the game itself as a whole. And the replay value is through the roof. Awesome buy! Now, i'll dedicate some time too Darksiders. Should be an awesome time too.

Game is totally awesome, but I'm so bad at the combat :lol:

I keep dying and getting hit. I already have 2 stone statue awards for the overall levels. I've completed 3... Still love the game though! I assume I'll get better with more practice.

I'm assuming this is going to happen to me when I start playing. Are you playing on normal difficulty?

I didn't like that sound of that 'automatic' in the demo; sounded like the game was going to do the moves for me.
Well, the fan reception seems rather positive for this game as well, so I finally took my $300 gift money and ordered an XBox 360 and Bayonetta (the total came to $297). This officially makes me an owner of all consoles this generation. I have high expectations for this game, but I am prepared to have my butt handed to me several times. -_-

I haven't been playing many games lately, only popping over here to gamespot every once in a while and I had heard the name of the game but had never feasted my eyes on it till the video review here. Wow... looks absolutely insane and like something I would love to play. I may have to pick this up!

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]

[QUOTE="mythrol"] From what I remember of what happened when DA:O came out and the cow response to getting .5 higher due to better graphics, while the 360 version had the better frame rate and performance . . .YES lemmings are far more mature it seems. Cows acted as if DA:O on the 360 was UNPLAYABLE. So far reading through this thread I've seen little / no PS3 bashing. If you go back actions as a basis for opinion, then it's clear lemmings don't stoop to the level of cows.mythrol

Yea guess you missed all those threads when the famitsu review came out about the bad ps3 version. Its pretty tame now since the bash fest has already happend.

Yeah I remember those 2, maybe 3 threads. It wasn't anywhere near the level of DA:O though. I also remember cows coming into the thread and saying "Sony has come in specifically to help the Bayonetta version. There's still 3+ months to ship . . .they'll fix the issues." If lemmings were just as bad as cows, you'd see them right now saying "Look how much Sony helped fix bayonetta. Hahah haha hahahahha." So far, I've see nothing like that. True, blind fanboys are both bad, but judging by the difference between what happened to DA:O and this. . .it's clear which as an overall is worse.

There was bit more and some were long. Alot of rubbing it in. idk theres 2 reasion why people arent rubbing 1)they did it enough already and are tired and/or 2) It was a port made by another dev team thus not making the victory as sweet.Also the reason some DA:O threads were long was cause some lems were confused on why it got less here but not less in other places. Both groups are horrible I dont find one worse then the other.

Besides i think that DA: O was a much more hyped game than Bayonetta, it was until it got AAA and AA here in GS that some people start notice it.

Wow interesting difference in scores, I got the 360 version and it's really a great game. The camera can be a bit of a nuissance at times, mainly when you're locked on because it zooms in closer and focuses on one enemy. This wouldn't be bad if you weren't surrounded every time, so the camera shouldn't really move around more than it should just zoom out or stay where it's at and let you just have a "lock-on" to the enemies. I've had many deaths from enemies I've lost sight of because the camera would do this, also I wish there was a way to switch targets too, or the lock-on would at least choose the enemy nearby not the one furthest. Still, the combat is fun, and very deep once you start connecting weave attacks, torture attacks, and using offset dodges to continue your combos going. :D

I have to say the scores dont surprise me even a bit -- considering it was ported from the 360 to the PS3 single-handily by SEGA.... Im sure Platinum Games has a made a terrific game but.... ah... SEGA...SEGA..... even when its not a Sonic title, you still manage to f*** a game up thank you SEGA, I was actually considering in BUYING this game, but thanks to you, I guess I'll settle to playing it on my friend's 360... *sigh* way to start a year

Darksiders just got an 8.0. Still can't decide between that and Bayonetta...
