    Yeah, but they are well argued over. In the end, I see bayonetta as a more refreshing experience. 
     
    I have ripped people up in the first god of war - pretty awesome. 
     
    I got some amazing graphics and dynamic cams in God of War II - still awesome. 
     
    God of war 3 - awesome........................................................................... see what I mean? 
     
    AND THEN BAYONETTA, with its snazzy soundtrack, unique (yes, its fighting is similar to DMC, but unique all the same) style.  
     
    God of War 3 tries WAY too hard to get me to believe that it is serious, whilst i rip a goat snake's horns off. 
     
    Bayonetta thrives on my disbelief.

    I would hope not, that is, if people could take it maturely. 
     
    It is a legitimate argument as far as I am concerned. Eh, mods will mod, its the natural order. 
     
    Hopefully, they will not.

    Thats the point, they are both almost perfect examples of their genre, but bayonetta reigns supreme by an inch.

    Likewise. I owned a 360 from launch up until about a month ago. I just don't see a reason to keep it around when I can play 90% of console games on my PS3, and the other 9% (as well as many of the aforementioned games + PC exclusives) on my PC with better controls, graphics and framerate.

    I actually prefer Devil May Cry 4 over both of them. I have never ever in my life played a game like DMC4 where I can just go back into it and still find myself getting better at the game even on my third playthrough. 
     
    Bayonetta is a much better experience than GoW3 though, I agree.

    Meh. It doesn't leave much room to argue, mainly due to the part that reads "more fun".

    As much as I love Bayonetta and despise God of War III, I agree with sodiumCyclops. This thread is just fucking flamebait, and the sooner a mod close it, the better.

    So what you are saying is: You are right, it doesn't make any sense at all, but since everybody else does it I might as well do it also. 
     
    So if a fat kid was getting beat up in school by all the other students you would just join right in, right! I mean everybody else does it so...
