It's repetitive because there's no variation in gameplay. At least GoW changes things up by throwing puzzles and interesting cutscenes in the mix. I think we can both agree that Bayonetta 2 has poor cutscenes and an uninteresting story. The fact that the game can be beaten by button mashing is a flaw in itself.

You can't beat the game while just doing button mashing, at least not after the middle of the game, not in harder difficulties. Unless, of course, you get joy from getting rock trophies, then I'm not going to argue. 

How is it a flaw, then? The game doesn't reward you in the slightest for that. 

How is a Platinum trophy a reward? It's a meaningless digital price. That's fun for you? A game should be fun because of how it plays, not because of some sort of achievement system.

Anyway, I don't care about Star Fox, so I don't care if Platinum Games develops this. As long as it isn't Retro...

It looks convincing, but I think it's a fake. I would be surprised if this is real though.

 

Edit: Besides, isn't a Nintendo game site supposed have ".nintendo" in it?

No, but i'm sure they all have an icon in the tabs.  


OK. Still, the Star Fox link is showing a Club Nintendo link when other Nintendo game sites don't.

It will be developed by Nintendo, PlatinumGames and Retro Studios.

Maybe fake. Here's Splatoon's website url vs the Starfox:

http://splatoon.nintendo.com/ vs. http://www.starfox-horizons.com/

There isn't a .nintendo before .com!

The design on the webpage looks convincing though.

Same! Looks like it could be fake.

Or maybe it was real and was posted too early :-O Or maybe it's getting too much traffic.

You misinterpreted my comment. I mean, I agree with that portion of your comment, but a Platinum trophy demonstrates that you master Bayonetta's combat in the respective chapter. If you just mash buttons you will receive a rock trophy, hence why you think the game is boring. You are just mashing buttons, so I exactly would ask the same thing, where is the fun there? 

If you hold combos, make fights shorter and avoid damage you will get a Platinum trophy, demonstration that the player, again, knows how to play Bayonetta. If you don't want to do the three previous requirements to master the gameplay, then I'd understand, maybe you simply don't like this kind of games. I, however, enjoy them. From a Platinum trophy I get satisfaction of finishing a level perfectly, because I know how to play Bayonetta at perfection, not because I got a Platinum trophy.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

A very convincing fake is what I'll say =)



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Not only that. You can´t beat Bayonetta smashing bottons, that´s pure bullshit sorry.

If you don´t domine the "Witch Time" you can´t win. And you need a perfect timing for that, you need to know what your enemy is about to do (kind of souls style) to be able to refuse the attack. Sometimes you have to do it on purpuse because the enemy is too fast and you need to stop the time.

Furthemore, if you just attack with one botton you are making the game boring because you want to be bored. Is 100 times more rewarding when you learn to do the combos and the invocations, it feels REALLY GOOD. And you beat the enemies more quickly and you get better rewards.
