Read a couple of those Bayonetta articles. I liked seeing Jenkins compare her to the new Lara Croft and Polansky's in-depth analysis is above and beyond what is needed. It was interesting. It's also sort of weird, though. The story is over the top and crazy and does enough to give you context, but it's not really what you're there for, like Dan's review said. It's not a story-focused game where the gameplay is something you tolerate. Hearing why people like or do not like Bayonetta the character is alright, but we're not talking about the movie here, we're talking about some of the most fun beat 'em up action games there are.
These articles are nice, I think, but I really look forward to articles talking in-depth about the new weapons, how they reuse assets for stages and bosses this time around(is there a bad, Iustitia-like boss this time around, or are all as amazing as Fortitudo?), what the new demon enemies are like and if they live up to the creepy and fresh look of the angels, how the use of QTEs have changed and if the lava still looks like water. I would love an article about the angels and in what ways they are better or worse than the demons in God Hand, who were all just human dudes but had a lot of personality, contrary to the angels who have no personality at all but a very cool look. Or what new lessons have been incorporated from other Platinum games. Bayonetta probably wouldn't have turned into a panther if not for Okami, so does she have the ability to turn into a hundred small dudes in this game? Should probably just write a blog myself when I've played Bayonetta 2, but if these articles turn up in the weeks after the game's release, I hope you'll put them on Worth Reading, Patrick.
Hope all the attention Bayonetta is getting translates into sales, also. It did okay, I think it was around 2 million like Devil may Cry 4, but while that's more than new DMC it was never as popular as God of War. I always thought that was a shame, Bayonetta is the better game of those two, and more people should have tried it out. It's actually much more approachable than Devil may Cry ever was, even poor players like me can jump in and do okay. Don't think there's much hope for it on the Wii U, though.
I also watched Boogie's video, which had a nice sentiment but is not going to make me begin using hashtags on twitter in a non-humor-related fashion, and the Dark Souls trailer, which was funny and spot on.
@niyoko Wait, so you already bought the Freelancer Dur? I think this sounds like a ton of money to spend on a game that's not even out yet, but I'm not exactly informed on this topic. What made you decide to invest so much in this thing, do you just have money to spare?
