I played the demo and enjoyed it, but I will not be purchasing this game until it drops in price unfortunately.

My problem is I am a fussy gamer and when it comes to hack n slash games I love myself a good story. I couldn't care what Bayonetta wore and if the game had no online mode. When it comes to hack and slash, it is the story and gameplay which keep me wanting to play the game.

I do like the gameplay and the difficulty is far easier than any other hns i have played (gows, dmcs, ngs etc), but the story just doesn't do it for me.

Since the boss fights etc are crazy, I will definitely buy the game, but not before gow collection and gow3. Hopefully by that time I will be able to pick it up at a cheaper price.

Don't get me wrong. I do love my animes (bleach, naruto, afro samurai, death note), but Bayonetta is the cheesiest from the lot. However, I know this is only my opinion and I do admit, it is a game I have to buy at some stage.

I just bought the game and it's really fun so far. A bit on the easy side on Normal though... already at Chapter VII and I didn't invest more than 5-6 hours in the game (probably less than that, will need to check). As much as I try not to rush the game, I'm just hooked in the action and always want more and more combat!

Will definitely look for collectibles and others on my second playthrough on Hard I guess.

There is like 14 chapters dude :)

I think 10 hours is quite a lot for this type of game if you are blasting through. I am 11 hours in on chapter 12...

But yeah, I can't wait to unlock the hard mode.

I said the game has a lead protagonist that doesn't interest me. I don't have to play a game to know what interest me and what doesn't interest me. I never said the gameplay was bad or anything like that. Infact I said the game actually seems like it's pretty good. I just have no desire to be a leather totting stiletto shooting lollipop sucking hooker. I don't have to play a game to know that doesn't interest me. This so called crusade of mine was not my intention, some other person comes in here and starts attacking me because I don't share the same opinion as them so I defended my opinion. The character is not a desirable character. And desirable characters are whats important to me in a game. I don't have to play the game to have that opinion. Character can easily be conveyed through videos, and everything I stated my opinion on could be conveyed through videos, otherwise movies would not exist if it was not possible. 

Thanks disolitude. Good to see others appreciate this game and the genre around here.

Its all good man...you don't like the lead character in bayonetta and lets leave it at that.

People that play games expect different things...I for one vomit on the inside at the thought that Uncharted 2 is funny cause of what it tries to do with its characters and story. Too safe and holywood for my taste...

Oh, not bad not bad. I guess 10 hours is good? I mean, I barely count the time I play games. I just start one and finish one, so I can't really compare with Ninja Gaiden II or something. xD

yeah I dont count time either...but hack and slash games have been really short this gen.

DMC4 would be 4 hours if they didn't make you replay all the levels twice, hevenly sword is like 4 hours long, Wolverine is about 6 hours.

Ninja Gaiden 2 and Bayonetta are the longer ones at 10-12 hours each.

Disolitude is right....you make more sense than other people on this site and you dont even have 10 posts yet.

A. Satire is often strictly defined as a literary genre or form, although in practice it is also found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement. Doesn't require humor.

B. After playing Bayonetta, I surely believe that anyone who didn't at least enjoy it, either doesn't like this particular type of game(maybe they go more for presentational appeal, like in GoW) or doesn't understand the gameplay system yet. Believe me, two rounds on normal-hard doesn't mean you've graduated from novice. Go check out some of those Japanese videos on youtube....

....besides the spectacular gameplay(who gives a shit past the gameplay though, really) the framerate combined with stuff happening on screen really impressed me on the technical side. The game packs some amazing moments that I feel I would've actually have really missed out(in my life) by not playing. There are 4 or 5 "train sequence from Uncharted 2" moments in this game, and let me close by saying this: This game is the one game that really made me feel like games have progressed along with consoles this generation. It isn't revolutionary, it's evolutionary, and it really turns the corner when showing me what action games will be like in the future. Wow. Clover's best work....
