Bayonetta is also a great representation of women.

Oh god. lol. If Bayonetta is a great representation of a woman, kill me now. It's a representation of the ideal woman a lonely Japanese man wants to have sex with. I don't think the character even pretends to be anything more.

On topic, I'm finding the game pretty average. I got sick of the dodge, spam and repeat mechanic a lot faster than I hoped I would. It all felt pretty shallow after 10 hours. Doubt I'll ever pop it back in again and certainly wouldn't ever pick up a third. A shame as I loved the Wonderful 101.

(Only played the second. Never played the first)

Here we go...

She is about as good representation of women as Nathan Drake is of men. A strong, intelligent person that loves her/his friends and with an objective (usually to save the world). The sex part is in your head. That is what upsets me about the whole discussion when a reviewer brings these things to the forefront. Its in your head, not on mine. I happen to see the good in people. Bayonetta is a dark heroine that loves her friend and saves the world. How is this a bad representation of women? The sexist way would say that women just go at each others throats whenever they can. More accurate? Perhaps, but its not what the game is representing.

Oh and btw... Bayonetta was created by a woman.

The sex part is in your head?  The game uses the word Climax about 15 times in the menus alone.  She poledances throughout the ending credits.  Her clothes come off as she attacks.  The debut trailer asks "do you want to touch me".

Now, you're free to have your own opinion on the sexuality.  If you think it's empowering than whatever.  But, you can't deny that the developers intentionally emphasized this aspect.
