God of war... the combat is slow choppy and repetitive. The combat doesn't get better until you upgrade everything an insane amount of times but that doesn't happen until deep into the game. Until then it's just CHOP-CHOP DIE rinse and repeat. The combat is soooo slow. I can't block during an attack or transition OR ANYTHING!! Bayonetta- Combat is super fluid, I can block whenever i want. COMBAT is NEVER dry millions of combos and insane moves that let you pull off anything. Very fun combat even if you don't have everything unlocked yet. Story- Bayonetta isn't about story. If you want a story go read a book. And how is god of war superior in story? It is basically the ODYSSEY or PERCY JACKSON with a lame as heck hollywood "my family got killed must seek revenge" plot device tossed in to freshen up the thousand year old tale.NinDogDo
It's a matter of tastes. To understand why someone likes something else you have to imagine that your tastes differ from others.
I found the combat in God of War III enjoyable and I liked the diversity between enemies. I don't think the combat mechanics are better than Bayonetta's or Ninja Gaiden's but they are more than adequate.
When I buy a game I expect certain things from it. The gameplay must be solid, ofcourse, and it must have a story that I would want to complete. Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta are serously lacking in the story telling department which in the end will not have me setting aside one to two hours playing a videogame.
I like the dedication God of War had in it's story telling. While it wasn't the strongest of tales, Kratos makes for an interesting character whose endless vendetta puts him up against the most formidable foes in Greek mythology. Those interactions and the stunning visuals makes me want to pick up the controller and play to see what is going to happen next. Bayonetta does not do that for me.
