In my opinion, God of War III is a much better game than Bayonetta.
Best hack-n-slash this gen = God of War III> Castlevania: Lords of Shadow> Dante's Inferno> Ninja Gaiden 2> Heavenly Sword>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DMC4/Bayonetta.
I hated everything about Bayonetta. I hated Bayonetta herself because she's a horribly designed character with an unlikeable personality and has a hideous voice. I detested the musical score throughout, it was so poncy and irritating, absolutley terrible. I despised the combat, it's far too fast paced and hectic, it's a seizure inducing mess of a game, certainly not at all fun or satisfying. I hated the 'story', it's one of the worst stories in a game I've ever played. I hated the excessive sexualisation throughout the game, it's absurd and cringe worthy. The graphics are at best mediocre and I found the art design to be lousy and uninspired. As far as I'm concerned Bayonetta is a dreadful game, one of the most blatantly pathetic games I've ever played.
