I swear there is a mentality that has it that the only thing that supposedly makes a game awesome is difficulty and some weirdness in attacks. Or, if the game has some sort of unique art style also, it joins into this. Then, you will get a post like this that says: Ignore the story, characters, plot, and particularly the main character, and don't use ANY weapons that the enemies drop... and it is the BEST ACTION GAME EVA!  This mentality has also led to the likes of Demon's Souls getting pimped to the Nth degree on here.

Seriously? I swear people are engaging in a hypfest now, because Darksiders is outselling it, and their Clover has to make it this time wish ends up manifesting itself yet again.

Best anything EVA has to nail it on all points. I am sorry, I don't believe you can give "best EVA" title to anything that has as many provisos as you have given it. I also swear that probably you are entranced with the novelty of the attacks in the game also.

Ive heard great things bout this game. Damn being poor!

"Forget about everything other than the combat (the stupid story, stupid characters, stupid dialogue, the main character)"

If you take everything which synthesizes a game, you can't call it a game. What a stupid thread...

it is truly a great game on the 360... but... why no love for mentioning chaos legion in those hackn' slash games you listed?

its good, but lets be honist....its no God of War

im getting both anyway. but nothing can beat the king, GOW3!

its going to probably the GREATEST ACTION GAME of ALL TIME!! If you only owned a 360....=P

i don't know if its the greatest game of all time, but it doesn't take much to beat God of War... in the gameplay area....

lol...I love seeing skeeuk getting owned here.

Good job everyone...

What the deuce is this thread doing in the 360 section?

I'm really enjoying Bayonetta so far. I'd usually never put a game like that on hold but FFXIII is pretty much the only game I'm looking at for the next little while. Bayonettas cheesiness is way too extreme for me but the gameplay is solid. I completely disagree that it's the best action game ever, nvm best game ever made.

I'd give it a solid 8.5, while all three God of War games are 9 or above.

It's definitely the best this gen. But I like Ninja Gaiden's combat better and God of War 2 is still my overall favorite action game.
