I think the reviewer didn't understand that its part of the whole bayonetta crazy experience. Its like giving a bad review to Gears of War just because of its violence, at that point I don't think the reviewer has anymore credibility in my opinion. |
Your logic would mean that if a game was flat out racist, it is fine because it is part of the "experience".

Nah. The game isn't sexist. People who take offense to it should look at themselves though. As a game, it is a work of art. Its open to interpretation. The reviewer told more about himself in the review than anything else. He didn't see a great work of art with fantastic set pieces, he saw a woman wearing next to nothing and he felt ashamed of himself and his feelings. And this is reflected in his review.
People will take whatever they want when they view a work of art. All we can do as gamers is view the work ourselves and draw our own conclusions. |
How is having a lead female who looks like a stripper "a work of art"? Next you'll be saying nicki minaj "anaconda" is fine as it is a "work of art". So where do you draw the line between art and flat out sexism/cheap titillation?
And you have failed to grasp "his feelings". When I see crap liek Bayonetta, it annoys me as it shows how lazy devs still are and that they are aiming at the younger market rather than the older group. Also, when older guys see characters like that it doesn't turn them on as it is a game - their girlfriends take care of that problem for them.

I think you don't understand Bayonetta, its not sexism as she empowers the female form and she would crush her opponents using her vagina.

And this is the problem with gamers. The attitude you have is dire. If she was empowered, then why is she half naked? When did a guy dress like that in a game? Oh right - never.
