Forums - Gaming Discussion - I don't think most people realize yet how good Bayonetta is...

It's alright, not as great as most were making it out to, but it's good. The graphic needs a little work. The best part about it is it seems easy and fun. I'll get it eventually.

Did you play the demo only or the full game?

I played the demo and I thought it was pretty good but not a 10/10 by any means...

But the first hour of the game shows off a level of creativity that I really wasn't expecting. I really can't wait to play some more.

Also the emphasis on story is kinda surprising... We are talking almost Metal gear Solid like story to gameplay pacing.

What im saying here is... Game > Demo.

As you said it seems that for action purists this game will be a blast. The battle system is very sleek and fun.

However I hate that the environments are extremely bland. They pale in comparison to the rest of the game.

Will be great for action fans though.


I agree that visuals aren't really mindblowing...but in the long run, does that really take away much from the overall experience? I didn't think so...

I very much enjoyed the demo and look forward to playing the game next year.

But I'm not blown away by it. Graphics is nothing too spectacular, button combos are similar to Devil May Cry so nothing innovating there and story seems not too bad so far.

So in my opinion, it's just going to be a good action game for next year and nothing else. Surely no one is expecting this to get GOTY or anything right?


I wont predict anything cause metacritic reviews and me work on different levels. But I will say that if the whole game offers a 8-10 hour experience and maintains the level of freshness and fun that I had for an hour playing it...it will be my favourite game this gen. Especially if the story pans out...cause its really good for the first hour.

The demo really can't prepare you for how absurd, original and stylish this game is. If you played the demo and thought it was good...wait till you play the game.

 



I spent a long time on ign's new site looking for a review and was thinking "their new interface is horrible, I can't seem to find where they keep the review for the game."

Then I noticed it came out in 2010. Silly me. That being said, I don't see much promise in a game that so obviously is relying on sex appeal. I can't remember the last good game that relied on sex appeal for the main character.




 

@Senlis

Im not going to lie...sex appeal is there and its welcome actually...cause the game has great gameplay to back it up. Its not Dead or Alive Volleyball by any means...

I should be way more interested in this game but Im not. I guess Im just not that big of a fan of Mikami/Clover/Platinums work. I played their games late and was hyped because off all the praise but Okami, DMC, Madworld all huge letdowns.

This does look better than any DMC but since I think that series is extremely over-rated so its not REALLY saying much but it does look good. Cant wait to eventually get my hands on it.



I wasn't all that impressed with the demo, my son on the other hand absolutely loves it (he is 6). He is amazingly quite good at it too and is able to finish both the levels on the demo on the hard setting.



Well we need to play it first.



 

 

Take my love, take my land..

Just played the demo and Edge Magazines quote was spot on....... GOW , DMC and ninja gaiden need to take notes because god damn this is the most fun ive had with demo EVER!!!!

SEGA already got the best srpg this gen , and I hope they can the best hack n slash this gen with bayonetta(if the full game even has half the fun of the dome this will be easy)



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
