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.

 

Now I think you REALLY need to play GOW: A. The story isn't very good, but the combat has definitely improved. I can also confirm that it indeed is the best looking game on 7th-gen consoles. Also the multiplayer is really good, though finding players at this stage after its release would be hard. You should definitely buy it, I think its available for just $20 at Amazon.

On another note, the final boss battle in GOW: A (wouldn't spoil it for you) is easily one of the high points of the series.

 

Anyways my list looks a bit different:

1. GOW (You'd have guessed it by now)

2. Devil May Cry

3. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (would've been a bit higher if it had more than 2 hours of gameplay lol)

4. Bayonetta

5. Everything else
