| xeroxm3 said: I would like to offer an outsider's perspective on this comparison. I have played neither game but my friend just recently finished GoW3 and is currently playing Bayonetta right now. From what I've seen from his playtime with both I'm more interested in Bayonetta for it's style and playfulness. I've never been into the over the top brutality testosterone fest that GoW prides itself on. Kratos, as a character, has never really appealed to me because he's just so over the top. I'm not saying it's a bad thing because I know a lot of people love the character, but I wish he'd occasionally drop from that 10 to at least an 8 every now and then. Maybe he does, as I said I haven't played the games, but they sure don't market or show him like that not in-game. Even last gen when all my friends were like "You gotta play God of War it's F***ING amazing!" I just kind of shrugged and said meh. I think both games, while in the same genre, are going for very different crowds. These crowds do intersect occasionally however I think it is fairly obvious that they have very distinct feels. I've never been much for the whole brutality and gore draw aside from Ninja Gaiden, but that's more because I like the nostalgia from my GameGear days. |
Wow, I thought I was the only one that felt this way. I have actually played both. I just did not enjoy GoW3 nearly as much as I thought I would. I am perhaps a little tired of the overboard testosterone pumping of the GoW series. On the other hand, Bayonetta was simply fun. I enjoyed playing Bayonetta alot more.
