People are over reacting in this thread, anyone denying that Bayonetta is a great game should at least try and play it first. Despite what anyone believes the combat is still much better in Bayonetta, GOW 3 wins in every other category.

Personally I like the music and story better in Bayonetta too, because it's very humorous and has catchy music, but everything oozes style.

In the end its all really opinion, but some people like to force their opinion on others as truth.  Which yes that is overreacting, I don't get why one group of gamers are pretty chill, wanting to discuss their opinions, but as soon as you say something contrary to another groups opinion that group has to force it down everyones throats, and the chill gamers just don't care and won't fight, usually just leaving the discussion... there's really no call for it.

The music is very good in Bayonetta, I just like the whole epic quire thing in the GOW games

This gen everyone's just on the edge, it's ridiculous, but I think it's mainly because gamers have become much more attached to their specific idea of what a good game is and don't want that idea to change. It's a shame, because it only harms the imagination and idea of developers, it could lead them to think that people won't open up to new things. This is changing though with newer titles like Bayonetta, Heavy Rain, 3D Dot Game Heroes and Deadly Premonition.

Eh it's just minorities that used to be the majority fighting against the tides, its actually an old cycle, pretty much like the PC gamers of yore fighting the NES "kids" again, or the NES "kids" fighting the PS "frat boys", just now we're in the era of online so the spats can go on and on between "professionals" on gaming websites!

As for Bayonetta vs GoW, the GoW Score is quite nice, probably one of my favorite things about the game, but I dunno this gen has burned me out on "Epic" thats all its been about since everything went HD.  I just like my catchy tunes that I can dance to if I wanted.  As for story, if God of War was a satire of Greek Myths I would absolutely love it, because it over embellishes a lot of aspects of Greek Lore like the amount of violence and sex involved and over doing some of the lapses in logic while doing absolutely nothing with the typical idea of some sort of lesson, then the game doesn't even follow its own logic well, but its all quite serious and I can't take it, so a humorous story wins hands down for me.

I can agree with you that the story could be cheesy sometimes, there have been a few moment's were I'd actually cringe because of how shallow certain dialogue was. Though God of War does achieve what it's aiming to be, which is a big, manly, super epic, 300 + Vin Diesel super game for mild tempered men who want to go 'Whoa!!' at random moments. 

Bayonetta is a charming game and has the whole quirky Japanese vibe that I have grown to love from animes, the game has everything working for it term's of making a stunning game. The story though felt tacked on, it was also fairly confusing sometimes and the sexyness was off putting sometimes. The voice acting was fantastic, the interaction between the characters can only be compared to Uncharted & Mass Effect and the Bosses were some of the best I've ever fought.

Bayonetta is a game that deserves to be played more and it's definitely up there with the best of it's genre. If it's better than God of War is entirely up to the person who has played both and can give an honest opinion.
