HappySqurriel said: While it probably won't win me any friends, the first thing that popped into my head when I saw Bayonetta for the first time was "Lame" as it seemed like the developers were trying far too hard to be cool. Until the past couple of weeks I basically ignored the title, and I'm still not that interested in it because I can't get passed the initial reaction ... It is entirely possible that the kind of reaction I had to this game is fairly widespread, and consumers may not care about the quality of the game because of the image of the game. |
This was actually my initial reaction to the game too. I wasn't ready to give it a chance immediately either.
I got over that, though, because I am a sucker for bad-ass action games, and htis is way better and more technical than any of the Devil May Cry games I've played (1 and 3).
Also, I didn't expect it, but Bayonetta herself is actually a good character? She kind of crosses the line from exploitative to actually having somehting to say, which I expected in no capacity whatsoever
