Bayonetta was designed by Mari Shimazaki, not Hideki Kamiya: http://platinumgames.com/2009/04/17/designing-bayonetta/

I don't know how long you've lived on this earth, but it is not in our nature to focus on the dicks of men, we focus on the beauties of pretty ladies and that is not being sexist. Guess what, women actually like men enjoying her sexual presentation. And Nathan Drake IS actually representing men like Bayonetta is representing women. Nathan Drake is being viewed as the ideal man, muscular, manly, strong, handsome as fuck and has random sex with Chloe. Just like Kratos in God of War has sex with random NAKED women who seemed to be waiting forever in their bedroom only for the ideal man to please them, but that is not being sexist? Bayonetta actually shows women can be sexy and strong (having a goal) at the same time. Women are not only here to please men. 

That's a character designer. She designs what the character looks like. That's all.

Are you incapable of seeing how incredible sexist your view of the world is? "We focus on the pretty ladies and not on men." That's sexist. And wtf??? Women DON'T like all men enjoying their sexual presentation. IF you truly believe this, your view of the world is incredibly creepy and perverted.

Nathan Drake's incredible looks are represented modestly and not obscenely represented. This is what I'm saying. Why are Bayonetta's boobs constantly on display? Why is she constantly naked? Why can the game industry represent men in a respectful way that conveys their beauty and power, while women have to be turned into porn stars?

Don't know why you're bringing GOW's cringe-worthy scenes into this? It only provides further evidence about how immature the game industry is and how their representation of women is neolithic.

Uh, your baggage is seriously affecting your perception of reality.  Women don't HAVE to be turned into porn stars.  There are plenty of powerful female figures in games and Bayonetta is one of them.  Samus, Lightning, Chun-Li, Fem-Shep, the list goes on.

Men and women are different and express their sexuality in different ways.  There is masculinity and femininity and they are nothing alike and I am sick of the SJW types trying to compare men and women and disregarding our differences.  If Nathan Drake dressed and acted like Bayonetta that would be considered gay quite frankly, and not masculine or sexy.  Men and women are built differently, think differently, have different preferences, and we are WIRED this way regardless of how society conditions us how to behave.  This should be celebrated not fixed.  Granted there are those that fall outside of this paradigm and that's fine too.

Anyway, Bayonetta is a dominatrix like figure and her sexuality is part of her character, she uses it to humiliate her opponents.  If she were just generic super hero it wouldn't be as interesting.  Some implied 'rape attack' is a pretty thin argument at best.

Actually women do like that. Why do you think pretty women dress sexier than ugly ones? Because they know they are beautiful and they want the world to see it. I'm into the seduction lately and you can make a woman blush and smile by only saying she's sexy. They want to be beautiful and they want us men to see this. That is not sexist, that is the truth and our nature. 

I can't comment on how incredibly creepy and perverted your opinion is. It disturbs me that any male genuinely thinks all that women want is to be rated for their sexual appearance.

It's not a truth and it's disgusting.

edit: apologies. You are who you are. This is why women don't want to be part of your gaming communities though. It seems to bring out the neanderthal in you.

For those who played it. How would you describe the game difficulty? Is it challenging? Does it require skills? Does it get easier as you unlock new abilities or harder as the enemies get smarter? Is using complex combos necessary or the basic combos would do just fine?
Thanks in advance.

(I hate when I don't find my answers in the reviews)


If you play the game on 2nd or 3rd Climax (I'd recommend 3rd if you've ever played action fighters before), the game will gradually ramp up difficulties and enemy types. It will be fairly easy enemies at first that have very obvious tells and slow attack patterns, eventually they'll start introducing buffers/debuffers as enemy units, then faster enemies, etc. Its a very well crafted difficulty curve that gradually inflates in terms of general enemies and minor bosses. There are, however, several boss-only chapters which are skill checks and are about your ability to properly time your evades and not just button mash combos.

Infinite Climax, which is the hardest difficulty, is Nintendo Hard and requires perfect execution against even just trash enemies.

I finished the game earlier, should be a very strong candidate for GOTY I reckon. Going to finish Hyrule Warriors now but as soon as I'm done I going to play both games again using different costumes. Amazing game(s), worth every penny!

I think there is an argument that a strong sexy character can be portrayed in an empowering way, but Bayonetta is very far away from being that character. The crotch and breast shots have no reason other than to pander to horny males. Platinum is far too immature to tackle the subject in an appopriate way, and Kamiya has never pretended the character is meant to be anything other than a male sex fantasy.

To repeat myself, Nathan Drake is a sexy and empowered male and at no point does the game have to zoom in on a comically enlarged penis to convey that point. It only occurs in Bayonetta because young immature boys and sex depraved men want to see polygon boobs.

As for Bayonetta being in total control, that implied rape scene really makes a bit of a mockery of that.

Wait.  What?  I've just finished Bayonetta 1 and I'm about to fire up part two today.  Did you just spoil it for me?  If so, thanks.  Guess that's what I get for reading a thread about whether or not people are enjoying the game. :(

She hasn't spoiled anything mate. There isn't an implied rape scene anywhere to be seen in the game by any stretch of the imagination. To imply that there is one in the game is pretty bizarre tbh.
