Forums - Nintendo - Bayonetta 2 Review Thread: 15+ Reviews So Far (8 perfect scores), Meta Score 91

VXIII said:

Well guys, I diagree. There is no such a thing as a fitting nonsense. It is just setting the standards low and ignoring the shortcomings. By that definition every game should score 10s because we should judge the game on what they's trying to achieve. it is just a bad writing (according to reviews I haven't played the game. "the writing feels ridiculous" and "entirely silly cast of characters")

Btw, I just found out that the first game is 90% on meta (360), these scores should have been expected then.

I'd love to read your review of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It's not a case of "one size fits all" though, imagine how out of place Bioshock's story would be transplanted into Mario. Sometimes a serious story is not a good thing, and something light-hearted and humourously silly is exactly what is needed.

I 100% agree with that, but humorous / light hearted is a thing and utter nonsense / ridiculous is another.

I really hate being Mr. Negative guy, so I think I'll just stop posting

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, but come on, surely you've seen films and such where they're so fun because they are hilarious, entertaining nonsense? Bayonetta simply distills this B-movie charm into game form.

Wait what? Are you saying I should buy the game even though I don't have a Wii U or are you saying I should buy the Wii U for 300 dollars just to play one game? 

Either one doesn't sound so great to me.

Just a joke man :p

I mainly feel that the action game genre is dying and if this one with such great reviews fails then it does not bode well. Then only god of war and dmc are left to save it. Doubt that NG will do too much. Just hurts the vareity in our industry :(

So go buy the game :D
