So it looks like GOTY will be going to either DA:I, Bayonetta 2 or LBP3

Someone has only played GOW on Easy mode lol.

And storywise it isn't even comparable. Any GOW >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bayonetta in that regard. Characterisation is subjective, but Kratos has enough reason to be as pissed as he is. I guess its something only mature people can understand.

Enemy design in Bayonetta is indeed more original, but original =/= better. GOW's Greek mythology based enemy design is just way more inspired.

It doesn't matter what mode you're on, Square Square Triangle is your go to attack, always. There's rarely no reason not to spam it repeatedly.

GOW story is crap. Kratos is a terrible 1D character. He's too mentally retarded to take advantage of time travel in a useful manner, like saving his family.

We'll have to agree to disagree on enemy design.

It DOES matter which difficulty you're playing on. Try playing any GOW game on Hard Mode with this strategy, you'll get your ass handed back to you. The combo system is very deep, and you have to understand it if you're playing it on Hard or Very Hard mode.

Kartos is not mentally retarded, just a severely pissed of guy due to his situation (killing his family for a useless cause, being enslaved by the gods before he himself became one, always having what he did to hs family in his mind). I agree on the time travel part, perhaps one of the loopholes in the story. Still the narrative is great and certainly the story is presented very well.
