God of War: Ascension >>>> Bayonetta 2. 

Doubtful, as none of the God of War games so far are as good as the first Bayonetta. ;)


The Market and the critics would highly disagree

Those both gravitate towards familiar brand names.

Ok, GOW 1 sold more and got better reviews when it was still unfamiliar brand name

Standards for action games were different in 2005 to 2010 I'd argue, and GoW didn't have Bayonetta's divisive presentation.

Combat is the key factor; it's so much deeper and more fluid in Bayonetta, and that's what matters most in an action game.


Ha, and yet people still loved GOW3 (in 2010) more than Bayonetta.This is a fact And Bayonetta's divisive presentation should alone tell you something about game's quality.

And combat yeah... i loved the whole ''press triangle to do a combo'' thing

By 2010 GoW3 was a familiar franchise inflated by the memories of how great it's gameplay was... in 2005. And Bayonetta was divisive stylistically because some people are easily offended, not because it was in any way bad.

The amount of combos, abilities, variables, and the rest dwarfed the comparatively simplistic GoW system. Chaining together a wide variety of moves with dodges and tranformations at a breakneck pace made Kratos feel like an arthritic old man.


So GOW3 got better reviews because it was a familiar franchise and Bayonetta got worse reviews even tho it's a better game (especially on PS3)? Ok great argument, but my point still stands, the fact is that GOW is generally considered to be better in the VG industry

Popularity and quality don't necessarily correlate. That's why things like Twilight and COD are popular.

I don't need reviewers or other gamers to decide for me what's good and what isn't.

Bayonetta outperforms GoW in the most important aspect of an action game, combat, therefore it's better.
