Typical Platinum game, amazing reviews and terrible sales. I mean if Bayo1 wasnt good enough for Sega than Bayo2 really isnt going to be impressing anybody saleswise, well maybe Nintendo will go for Bayo3 but I think this is the end of the series unfortunately.

As long as Dragon Age doesn't blow everyone away, I'd say this will be winning many, many GOTY awards now. So that's bound to help sales a little. It will get way more exposure through that than Bayo 1 ever did. And I'd imagine most gamers who have a Wii U would be compelled to check out if it gets that much acclaim.

Oh Polygon. There's always one and it's always you


Still this is remarkable. Thought it would do good but not this good!

Gamespot perfect 10's:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64, November 21, 1998)
2. SoulCalibur (DreamCast, August 5, 1999)
3. Chrono Cross (PlayStation, November 18, 1999)
4. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PlayStation 2, October 28, 2001)
5. Grand Theft Auto IV (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, April 29, 2008)
6. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PlayStation 3, June 12, 2008)
7. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii, May 23, 2010)
8. Bayonetta 2 (Wii U, October 24, 2014)

Not too shabby of company there, although Chrono Cross was definitely no 10/10 game, imo.

I love how so many haters are going apeshit over Bayo 2 getting a 10 from GS.. If it was a PS4/X1  multiplat then nobody would be saying a god damn thing.

Also, Gamespot's only bullet point in the negatives with the game is that according to them no future action game may ever top it. Talk about making me hyped!

Dropped back down to 92

Not true really. Given how elusive they are with their perfect scores (7 in 16 years is not much at all), I'd say any game getting a perfect score there is a big deal. But yes the fact that Gamespot often seems more biased towards Nintendo than MS/Sony, certainly does make this even more impressive than if it were a PS4/One game that did it.
