One down and my prediction still stands.

Things that imo could still destroy it: Bayonetta 2, Smash and possibly LBP 3 (those games are critics favourites so who knows)

mmm out of those 3 onnly smash has a chance. Bayo will be in the mid 80's range and LBP just below 90.

Bayo 1 got a 90, so it has a decent shot to make it in the 90+ range.

yeah, but u r forgetting something.  When Bayonetta first came around, the genre wasnt in its best momentum, nowadays we have lot to choose so criticis are gonna be more severe than the last time(besides is no longer a novelty), and lets face it, When it comes to characters, story and pace Bayonetta really sux. Besides ur "argument" is very weak, just for reference God of war 3 got 92 the same year that bayonetta but ascension only 80 so no, thats not how it works
