It's a "Platinum Games" game. Of course I'll buy it. Won't be day one, but I will buy it.

ME!

I couldn't care less about Bayonetta...it's Darksiders that I'm looking forward to, although I do still have to finish Assassin's Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Uncharted 2, Dead Space and Mass Effect....

Getting Darksiders because I own a PS3. 
 
Of course they barely show any gameplay of that on PS3 as well.. That seems to be the hot new thing these days, showing everything off on 360.

I had it preordered, but I cancelled after playing the demo. Same with Dante's Inferno.

I might buy it but I don't see the hype for this game at all. Tried the demo and well, it was alright but... Nothing amazing. In fact, I don't see how people are much more excited about this than Dante's Inferno, who demo just made me want the damn game right there and then. 
 
Am I missing something? I really want to like Bayonetta, but I don't see what's so amazing that people are throwing 9s and 10s.

I will wait and see, but that is just my nature. Actually, as soon as I can get a good deal on it, I will probably get it. No more than $40 for me, though.

This could be a buy for me, and I'm sure that the dude at my New Year party who played the demo twice will buy one too.

Meh I didn't love the demo so I think it's more of a rental for me. I loved the Devil May Cry games but still Bayonetta didn't really appeal me. I might just be weird/

I am torn. I thought about getting the Climax edition but I'll only be buying the regular edition and when is still to be decided. Its scheduled for a 7th release which is the same day as Darksiders which I am also interested in getting. I am still recovering from Christmas and the Boxing day sales shopping spree splurge so I can't spring for both on day one. So I will have to decide which one I want to play first and get that and have the other put away. We will see.

Getting it as soon as I get my $50 gift card from credit card rewards.  Hopefully that's day one!

I imported my copy of Bayonetta(PS3) quite some time ago....as you can guess the game is of course great. So far, Bayonetta herself, has not yet dissapointed me with her brand of insanity. Combat moves swiftly and fluidly, and the game offer's up some great humor with references to other games. One thing that I do like though, is that Bayonetta defines itself. It doesn't feel like I'm playing some DMC knockoff, Bayonetta separates itself from other franchises and keep itself on it's own. 
 
 I do see the inspirations for some of the enemies ( certain twin enemies in the game bearing an ode to Agni and Rudra from DMC3), but they still feel as if their own entities.  
 
 Yes as you can guess, I do love me some Bayonetta. Defiantly worth buying if you haven't picked it up (well imported in this case...and yes the game is in complete english when you play if you play it on your PS3).

i wouldn't buy it for full price, maybe used when it gets down cheaper. 
 
especially becuase i have a PS3 and no xbox

YESSS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I think Bayonetta looks cool and I was all set to get it, but then Darksiders came up all sleeper-style and I like what that games doing more, so I'll have to check that out first.  Bayonetta will be played tho, looking forward to it.

I saw a commercial for this on TV and was totally turned off. Not my flavor.

I'm not gonna buy it launch day per se, but it's in my Gamefly queue, so hopefully it'll get sent the day it comes out.

I really did a 180 on this game after that quick look, at first I thought it was just gonna be yet another DMC derivative, but after that Look, I was astounded and interested.

A bunch of stores broke the street date early a few weeks ago, and if you know where to look, the game is already available O_o" 
 
At first I was really turned off by Bayonetta, but after playing the demo, it just finally clicked. The fighting is a lot more fluid and insane, and the characters are awesome.
 
I have played the first 2 chapters of the game already, and its pretty amazing! Some cutscenes are pretty damn long too, and not all of them are that filmstrip style, which is cool.. but you cant see half the time.

Assuming there's no ridiculous Devil May Cry-style S-rank every mission bullshit, I fully intend to thousand-point this game.

  That's an intentional design decision of Kamiya-sans. As far as he's concerned, where that series is at now has nothing to do with him, he wanted this game to stand out as being it's own thing, he wanted it to be better. He saw the flaws in that series and elsewhere and then began attempting to capitalize on their shortcomings with intelligent innovation.   I think your part of a very small band of players wishing that it was more akin to DMC, the majority will be thankful this is different, once they realise so, after actually playing it.  There are still some calling it a DMC clone after all...    "

lol, I thought you said don't like :)

Eh, it's no problem. So which version of Bayonetta are you going to get?

I haven't slept, that's what it is... 
 
360 all the way.

I don't think the PS3 problems are actually Sega's fault. I think its more because the game was made to utilize the strengths of a 360, then ported over to the PS3 which has different hardware.  
 
Read this, its a really good article.

Yep, day one here.  This along with season two of Chuck and Darksiders have my wallet conquered.

 Their is no trophy for getting Pure Platinum on every mission....so I would assume the achievements would be the same. I'll probably go ahead and try to get Pure Platinum on every mission (old DMC habit), so even if their was a trophy like that, I'd get it eventually.

" @Linkyshinks: The real problem is that the just handed the port development to Sega, and kinda brushed it off. Either they didn't have the resources/time to spend on the port or they don't care about the PS3. They're great devs and if we make noise I guess they gotta do something... like write a blog post explaining why they can't do anything. We shall see. "

Yea, I guess the PS3 users should be grateful, but of course the reality is that they wont be.

I will likely be getting this very soon after release, I loved the DMC games. I anticipate this will be one of those games where I love the gameplay and hate the characters and story, e.g. Infamous.

Yeah I'm definitely picking this up day one, I really enjoyed the demo and can't wait to play the full game. Though I have to disagree with you that the combat goes way beyond that of Ninja Gaiden or God of War. GoW I can see as it's pretty much a button masher with some depth, but Ninja Gaiden has tons of depth to the combat, plus we won't know the full depth of Bayonetta until it ships so I'll hold my judgement until then. But yeah, very excited to get this game : )

hmm I want to like this game, but it looks like the same games I've already played.. with new visuals.

" hmm I want to like this game, but it looks like the same games I've already played.. with new visuals. "

The PS3 demo had too inconsistent framerate for me to enjoy it. F that.

I wait for the bargain bin release. Not big into straight forward hack 'n slash stuff.
 
Opting for Darksiders instead. I want some Zelda in my hack 'n slash action. More of an action adventure guy myself.

  Buy a 360 *tickle* "

Ok, I'll buy a console that is not supported in Poland by any means (in contrary to the PS3), with games I don't really have much interest right now, that requires me to pay 40 bones to enjoy playing with other dudes and gives me shit like last.fm or Facebook that I don't care about just for a game I barely had any interest and that my friend is already buying.

I am a trophy whore, sir, but I have limits.

@Whisperkill: I was calm. I'm no Sony fanboy, I just dislike that kind of advice as much as the "WHY IS [insert PS3/Xbox 360/Wii/PC game] NOT ON [insert Xbox 360/PS3/Wii/PC]" bitching. Also, it's sometimes hard to love the X360 in Poland, because Microsoft plays us like assholes - they include Polish interface in the NXE, but we still can't have a normal XBL/Games for Windows account. No, instead we have to make fucking hotmail accounts in Ireland or Bangladesh.

Besides, I'm bros with Linkyshinks, nigga. We're following each other. That means something!

EOT, anyway.
