I can't call you wrong, as personal tastes differ, but I simply disagree with the combat and scale. GOW is the best hack and slash franchise (and the one of the best in all of gaming) primarily due to its incredible combat and epic scale. I don't remember any boss in Bayonetta being capable of crushing Poseidon, Chronos or Alecto.

Since you obviously dislike the GOW series, I can't recommend GOW: A to you, but it has improved combat mechanics and is definitely good. Also you seem to not know about the existence of the PSP games. In terms of story Ghost Of Sparta (also available on PS3 as part of Origins Collection) is the best and its a very well made game, better than the original. It also has the best secondary weapon in the series. You should definitely play it, as its the best game in the series in many respects despite originally being a PSP exclusive.


Got the PSP games too (see pic).  DIdn't like the first but loved Ghost of Sparta.  I honestly don't hate the series.  For me, it's the production values and the story that impress me.  It's not a bad playing game at all.  Like I said, it deserves to be number one on the list.  I may get Ascension one day.  People said it had the best graphics of the gen and I'd like to see that.

 

Just based on my enjoyment, it would probably look something like this:

 

  • 1. Bayonetta
  • 2. Devil May Cry
  • 3. God of War
  • 4. Ninja Gaiden (because the games are too fucking HARD! I beat them all though.  First two on Vita and the last on Wii U)
  • 5. everything else.
edit:  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6738543 that was my impression of the Bayonetta 2 demo.  What can I say?  I like the series.  Maybe because it's a hack and slash game with a female lead that doesn't suck.  I don't overlook the flaws, though.  Right or wrong, I calls 'em like I sees 'em.  Even back when the first launched, my opinion of it was that it played incredibly well and was average or below in every other regard.
