Ya know, picking up hookers, killing them, stealing their money and dumping their body is a heavily incentivized activity in GTA amongst many other horrible things. To me, I find that more detestable than likely anything that'd go on in Bayonetta. Polygon gave that game a 9.5.
If anyone's being sexist, it may as well be Polygon. They're more than happy to overlook moral grievances for a game with a male lead, but not for one with a female one. Yes they did give the latest Tomb Raider a good score, but in that game we Lara constantly bruised and beaten -- it sort of perpetuates the stereotype that women are naturally helpless. This only shows how sexist Polygon themselves truly are.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
