Bayonetta will be the greatest action game of all time, until God Of War 3 comes out.

Why? because Bayonetta it's 80% DMC + some redefined gameplay + new character + new story
-The game failed, it didn't sell more than 1M across both platforms, i don't think it will.
-Platinum Games can't even make a good port of their best selling platform.
-The main character is not appealing at all.
-The combat is not redefining anything.

Why GOW3 will be the greatest action game of all time?

-it'll be the best selling hack & slash game.
-The best story you can find in this genre, great design too.
-Great graphics running at 60fps.
-Main character appealing.
-The combat redefined the genre ( see darksiders, dante's inferno, and other games which tries to "steal" the best of it )

this is my opinion, i have to say that i don't like BAYONETTA at all, it looks dull to me, just because itagaki created the game it doesn't mean it's good, the game it's the same from DMC to me.

How do you know the combat didn't redefine anything if you never played it? I think that this game will change action games in the future.

Also, here is a major thing. You gave as good of an opinion as you could have given up until the last line. You implied that the game isn't good which contradicts your very first statement. At the very least, it's good. No arguing that. Play it if you don't believe that.

Another thing wrong with your opinion is that you believe the combat in GoW redefined the genre. That's not true to the extent that you believe it to be true. A few games copied the formula for GoW, and to a lesser extent the gamplay, however many, many more games, including GoW, copied the formula, and to a lesser extent the gameplay, from DMC.

Hideki Kamiya, the creator of DMC, also created Bayonetta.

Itagaki didn't.

I don't know where you got the idea that Itagaki created Bayonetta....???

However, usually, and correct me if I'm wrong, with Kamiya directs a game, it is at least good, if not genre changing.

You do know that action games have had a dodge button for ages right ?
