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

Great scores as expected :D I'm probably not going to read/watch any of these reviews because I already know that I need Bayo in my life, but I hope these will convince some doubters to give the games a shot!

PS: lolpolygon

But will it convince the doubters that haven't bought a Wii U? Will they buy a Wii U only for this game?

Awesome! another great Platinum game! which will probably sell like a turd on a stick.. :( I hope not but yeah you know.. . They're great at making great games, but they never really seem to hit the sales mark..

They should've stuck with Bayonetta after they made the first one and not jump around and make one unsuccessful IP after the other. Bayonetta 2 should have been a 2012 game for last gen, I'd say. But well I don't even know who to blame for this, Sega for being...well Sega or Platinum Games for just doing whatever they want without much consideration for financial success (which could be considered something positive if they had the luxury of being a studio that can afford opertaing like that, unfortunately they aren't)



So, I read the polygon review and honestly, the complaints are a joke. They basically complains on two things:

Bayonetta is a girl
They cannot use Witch Time properly



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Only the 8th game that GameSpot ever gave a 10, after only The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), Chrono Cross (PS1), SoulCalibur (DC), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PS2), Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, 360), Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) and Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii).

But it is correct:

 

10 - (Bayonetta is a girl + They cannot use Witch Time properly) = 7'5

 

We also know that being a girl is far more punishable than the other thing.

so:

They cannot use Witch Time properly · 2 = Bayonetta is a girl

 

So:

 

10 - (They cannot use Witch Time properly · 2 + They cannot use Witch Time properly) = 7'5

10 - 3They cannot use Witch Time properly = 7'5

7'5 - 10
_______    =  0'833 = They cannot use Witch Time properly

- 3

 

thus:

 

0'833 · 2 = Bayonetta is a girl

Bayonetta is a girl = 1'677

 

Which means 10 - (1'677 + 0'833) = 7'5

 

Polygon is right. Their review is no joke.

Nice reviews! Now we have to wait for the release date...



My 8th gen collection

The reviews are fantastic. This should easily be the GOTY or maybe MK8 or Smash. I think all deserve to win it.

Dammit, I was expecting a high 80's (86 to be precise). And Polygon gave one of the lowest scores, what a surprise (except it's not).

And so much for the theory that "reviewers give Nintendo games a hard time!"

 What the bananas...



I thought it was already known that EDGE gave it a 10/10.
