Am I the only one who thinks that the story of Bayonetta wasn't as bad as the majority mentions?

Got to give props to SpartanFX...

First he makes a thread about how sandbox games are uninspired and boring...which they are.

Then a thread about Bayonetta deserving awards and rcognition, which it does...

Poster or the week award!

Do you really think God of War fans wanted a game that is very different from the one they played and loved on PS2 in 2007 ? But there were certain tweaks in gameplay that made it much better than God of War II and its sad that most people simply ignore them and go "Lol lololol God of War 2 HD"....

I did feel that the story was a bit lacking....but idk why, I liked what happened in the end....

And the term GOTY....hmmm....that also depends on each person's opinion. I'm not willing to accept that RDR is GOTY just because the VGAs say it is. God of War III will always be GOTY in my heart.

And it appears that your's is Darksiders

But theres one thing we can all agree on I guess...with Bayo, Darksiders, Dante's Infernofwar (Don't ban me for that but its true), God of War III and Castlevania Lords of Shadow, it was a great year for hack 'n slash games.

I completely agree. It should be on everyones list for GotY. A fantastic game!

Fanboyism isn't the only factor here. Blockbuster games are at an automatic advantage because more people have played them than, say, less popular games like Alan Wake or the aforementioned Bayonetta. To really get an accurate depiction of which game was better-liked, every voter would have to have played all the games, which is far easier said than done.

Bayonetta is in my top 10 games of the year list, by the way.

Ok I hear a lot of people saying how great this game is. I tried the demo on PS3 and I just thought it was  bad. Was it the demo? Was it worse on the PS3 than on XBOX? Or should I just give it another go?

Edit: If the demo gave me the wrong impression and the game is better than that then good for me. I'll be getting another game.

I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't played this game. It's at EB for $28, though I've been given strict orders not to buy any more video games before Christmas. I might just tell someone it's there and to give it to me as a present :D. 

It's an honor just to be nominated...oh wait, why the fuck hasn't it even been nominated?

Its a good game that could have been great but the story is awful and cliché, the graphics are not that good, the frame rate for PS3 version (I only have a PS3) is all over the place, the camera sometimes misses a lot of the action and all the effects going on on the screen block your vision and the quick time events sometimes are so fast and suddenly that you die and lost the platinum award.

Those are problems GOW 3 doesn't have. I really hope Bayonetta wins "Best new character" I like her more than Kratos and even Drake.

It's in my shortlist, what do I win?
