Its clear you have never played God Of War. It has FAR better combat, FAR better graphics (III and Ascension) and WAY better sense of scale (and the last two aren't even subjective). Story matters in a single-player game. Puzzles indeed are better in Bayonetta but they don't matter in an epic action game.

There is a reason why God Of War III far outsold Bayonetta even though the latter released in one more platform.


I just said I have played it. The better combat point is a joke. Frankly, it only has "better combat" if you're bad at video games. Graphics don't matter, and story doesn't matter. Story doesn't matter in an action game the same way plot never mattered on Super Mario. Plot in a video game is meant to get you from A to B. That's it. If it's good, that fine, but if it's servicably like Bayonetta's, it's whatever. Who cares. You play a game to play it, not to watch cut scenes. Bayonetta's combat is harder, more epic, and far deeper than anything GoW has ever put out in any of it's iterations so far. Bayonetta is infinitely the better game. Like, not even up for debate.

God of War III out sold Bayonetta because it's a first party exclusive that is part of an established franchise that is an accessable western style action game being sold in the west with an extremely familiar western style story, that being about greek/roman gods. Bayonetta is a niche japanese new IP that was a completely punishing action game being sold to the west with a nonsensical plot and an extremely unfamiliar plot.

Graphics and story don't matter? Tell that to all the people who play God Of War mostly for its story, and if you played God Of War III you would have known how epic its boss fights are. Even the PSP God Of War games have more epic boss battles than Bayonetta.

Plus its story is anything but western. It is basically like the tragic tales of Greek mythology. No other game has its kind of a story. As for its combat, its easy to learn but hard to master.

But I know that God Of War is a Sony exclusive so you'll hate on it like you do with all their other games. Which solidifies my belief that you really haven't played any of the GOW games. Plus of course Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive so you'll praise it like the second coming of God.

Bayonetta is good, but its no God Of War.
