Well it's not. I don't care what other people think.

The Game was Fun but overrated

Ninja Gaiden > God of war > Bayonetta

Gracious and Glorious aren't so bad in Infinite Climax, not in the context of the rest of the game.

Jubileus, though. Jubileus graduates from  "interesting but easy" to something more like "JESUS CHRIST SHE HAS SO MUCH HEALTH AND HITS SO HARD AND HAS NO CHECKPOINTS AAAAAHHHHHH"

It's my favorite as well.  The combat was just so fluid and fun and difficult at the same time.  It just sucked me in and the story matched the combat, over the top and ridiculous.  They made a game that didn't take itself seriously.  It was all about the gameplay.  I'm glad I waited to play it after God of War 3 because I would have hated the combat in GOW 3.  To me, the combat is way to simple and seldom died but I died a lot playing Bayonetta. 

It's at the top of my list for my favorite games this generation.

Yeah but you can't rely on Witch Time much on the later stages, especially since normal enemies start becoming immune to it, even on normal. 

Witch Time is indeed a major support in the combat but I would rather rely on Dodge Cancelling and Moon of Mahna-Kahlia for counters than Witch Time. 

I don't know about that stupid AI. True, enemies like Affinities, Applaud, Ardor and the lower tier enemies are very dumb and straigthforward, but when you start fighting Joys, Graces, Gracious and so on, the AI gets upped quite a notch to "Why the fuck are you two working in tandem, double tagging me and combo stun locking me >_<".

More enemies on screen doesn't equal more difficulty especially when the numbers are counterbalanced by the ease of the battles. I'd rather have fewer, harder enemies than more, easy enemies.

This does look interesting XD. 

I was quite dissapointed with how easy she was on Normal. Here you are, fighting such a massive enemy (probably on the scale of the titans of GOW) and the thing barely does anything worthwhile >_>.

Heck even the Cereza-transforming vortices didn't do a thing as you could Bat Within the subsequent punches with ease >_<.

in terms of combat this gen imo its 

ninja gaiden>bayonnetta>god of war 

but you can't beat god of war's production values and the story was not as terrible as ninja gaiden's and bayonnetta's though still nothing special.

She also attacks faster.

Her attacks feel harder to dodge.

And at max health she can two-shot you - or very close to it.

Fight her on Infinite CLimax. Just to experiment. See how different the fight becomes.

I agree in the story tidbit. I really enjoy all the GOW's stories because I'm a sucker for mythologies and the take that GOW makes is interesting. 

I've got to go through hard beforehand, I will get there eventually. The thought of playing the entire game without using Witch Time is frightening, but exciting at the same time. Gotta brush up on that Bat Within technique and counter techniques XD.
