Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii U Bayonetta gets first review a month early, 8/10 from Nintendo Life

And reviews matter why? I'm sure we all have enjoyed games with middle-road reviews.

So, with your logic here, the game actually goes down for generation by 5 in score even though it is the same game except with optional costumes.... I fail to understand your logic here.

That's because he isn't using any. You're falling into his trap.

completly, skipped review all the way to score
saw it was 8/10
Actual score: 3/10
+5 for being Nintendo exclusive.


Except that this is really not an exclusive as it is out on other systems just without the nintendo costumes.

#NextGenExclusive

lol

so lemme get this straight, you introduce a whole bunch of bullcrap logic into this, then tell me its my logic, while at the same time saying you don't understand it.

 

Instead of #NextGenExclusive meaning that the Wii U is the only current gen console to have it.

As for the +5 thing, its clear the joke

C'mon, at least read the TL;DR version they kindly put at the end!

"To wrap up with the overall presentation of this title, it's a distinctly mixed bag. Audio is a highlight with some terrific music, solid — and campy — voice acting and an impressive level of polish throughout. The visuals are showing their age a little, though environment design is excellent; we smoothly move from Southern European architecture to heavenly and hellish settings, with distinct identities given to the crossed realities referenced earlier in this interview. An area that's been substantially improved in the sequel, however, is in the crispness and colour palette of the engine — though a stylistic choice, the muted colours here can lead to a fuzzy overall perspective, marginally undermining the fast-paced combat. There are also occasional dips in framerate, meanwhile, but we should be clear that they're not excessive or particularly damaging to gameplay; it's still a far superior performance to the particularly poor PS3 version.

Conclusion

Bayonetta's distribution — as part of Bayonetta 2's release in various packages or as an eShop download — makes it a must have for action fans intent on jumping into the newer entry. It lays important groundwork with the lore and story, while also giving us a look at the gameplay foundations that have been further refined in the sequel. In its own right it's a cocky, self-assured and bombastic video game, yet maintains a sense of irreverence and fantastical fun nevertheless. Whether as a free extra or standalone download, it's absolutely worth exploration for Wii U owners that fancy some frenetic action and impressive combos. Bayonetta has attitude, and while you may occasionally cringe at this one's mixed messages in empowering its heroine, it serves up a great deal of frenetic action — your controller of choice won't know what's hit it."

Understanding where your logic was derived... I thought that meaning would be pretty obvious.

-8/10

B-but it leads to a fuzzy feeling inside!

Jokes aside, if I go by what happened in your post, Bayonetta will now have a 0/10!

...and the joke probably flew past my head, didn't it?
