i only played the demo but i found it to be an average hack 'n slash with a shamelessly sexy librarian of a lead.

would it have a following without its "porn" aesthetic? i doubt it.

The combat system of Bayonetta is ten times better than God of War, which is considered one of the best hack 'n' slash games. 

Bayonetta 2 also has much better graphics over its predecessor, better framerate and they're striving for 1080p. This would put it above what a PS3/XBOX360 can do. 

The only things GoW does better are story and music. 

I would say god of war also has better bosses, by a wide margin, and just an overall better experience.  Bayonette does have a more in depth combat system, but even on higher difficulties you can button mash your way through it, whereas you will get nowhere on the hardest mode of god of war mashing.
