Forums - Nintendo - A biased review: Bayonetta 2

Hmmm, I've heard of these somewhere before. Very intriguing, yes.

Final Score: 7.1/10


That's an odd way of writting a 9.1.



man, i have to be honest. I find every post you give repugnant. I clicked on this mostly as a joke to myself. So why i feel the need to give constructive criticism is beyond me. but..... Instead of giving each category a word rating such as "ok" or "decent" give it a numerical rating so that people can see how it figures into your final rating. It's helpful to the reader and gives your review better understanding.



So Bayonetta 1 and Bayonetta 2 are higher than a 10/10 when combined. I'm okay with that.

That would be pointless, because the final score wouldn't be an average anyway. By giving each category an ambiguous term instead of a numerical one, I avoid people who want to argue semantics and instead all attention shifts to the final score as the only point of contention.


Are you nuts!?! The graphics are not nice and how can you say the gameplay is improved!!!??? The graphics should be 'sweet' and gameplay should be 'better'.

1/10, would not read again.

Good to hear there is at least no sexism in the sequel.

What you should have done is put the score in the title of your thread, that way no one will read it so you can avoid any negative feedback based on the content of your review. It cuts the number of counter arguments you need to make down to 1.0.



It's safe to assume that you've beaten the game then? ..... you're review seem quite low especially considering a meta score of 91.

I decided to play Bayonetta 1 before I start Bayonetta 2 and only one hour into the first game. I can't really make a judgement yet but I'm enjoying what I played so far.

Having read your review seem like 7.1/10 would be Bayonetta 1 and Bayonetta 2 deserve better.

7.1 would be a game with some major flaws in my book and would avoid.

I've spent a good 20 hours on it, three playthroughs on three different difficulty settings. Other reviews of mine have been over 20 points lower than the Metascore, so Bayonetta 2 isn't an outlier.

A 7 is a good game on my review scale, one that is worth its money. However, it's either not a great experience (so the various elements are all implemented in a solid fashion with nothing that really stands out) or it's something that could have been great (an 8) but has a couple of major flaws. Bayonetta 2 falls in the later category with its long loading times and auto-save feature that put me off to the point that I don't really want to spend more time on the game. So while I liked what I played, a great game doesn't throw stuff at you that makes you quit long before you are getting anywhere close to 100% completion.

why make up your own scale....

wow...deja vu with a slightly better score...
