Just beat Bayonetta, Thank god for the Japanese.

Man I knew this game was going to be crazy before I started playing it but I was surprised when it surpassed my normal expectations for crazy.  From start to ending credits this game is a ride.  Between all the awesome fighting and crazy cutscenes you almost start to feel exhausted if you play it for long periods of time.  If every game Japan made was of this lunacy and of the same quality I think I would stop playing games all together, it's almost to much to take in. 

 In the end Bayonetta is a great game that I feel raises the standards  for all games in this genre,  It's not perfect but at it's core the fighting just feels great.  I didn't think I would ever say this, but when I play God of War 3 it will defiantly have some competing to do. 

 If anyone else has beat Bayonetta and just wants to ramble about it's craziness feel free;)

Time to go VROOM!

I'm currently in Chapter 5. My god this game is good. I am going to be replaying this and probably get all the achievements, if possible. I just can't put it down.

I love Action Adventure games but for some reason I just can't get into this game. Half of the time I have no idea what's going on or what the hell I'm doing and the dialogues and Voice Over is just terrible. I know the meat of this game is the action and the gameplay which is extremely solid but I still would like the game to have a somewhat meaningful plot. There are cutscenes that just seem to drag on and on and I just find myself skipping through them so I can get back to playing the game. I also don't like the control scheme they have. I would have much rather have the LT as the dodge button. If there's a way to change it then please let me know. 

I think the voice acting is great. Everyone has the perfect voice for their character and they all do a great job.

" I think the voice acting is great. Everyone has the perfect voice for their character and they all do a great job. "

 know I am going to sound crazy for saying this but their actually is a plot.  I know, I know, you think i'm crazy but you can tell the developers put a lot of effort into crafting the world in which Bayonetta takes place. 

 Just look at all the books about the world they scatter in the game (Which I gotta say I read the first few logs, and a few on some enemies I thought looked cool but after that I didn't bother).   Now with me saying this their is still some stuff I don't quite get near the end.  Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying the story is a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but to say the game has absolutely no plot is a misstep.  Saying it has a crazy and sometimes bewildering plot, now your on the right track. 

    As far as the character dialogue I actually thought it was good.  Well once I played a little and saw more interactions between the characters things start to click.  Like between Bayonetta and Cereza (The little girl) I found their conversations to be very convincing and cute.

    But like others have said, it is a divisive game, you either really like it and get into it or don't get what their is to like 

Dude, the opening sequence is set to "Fly me to the Moon." 
 
FLY ME TO THE FUCKING MOON 
 
 
shit is so cash

I'm so sick of people complaining about the voice acting! I find the voice acting amazing and they all fit the characters perfectly. The thing I've noticed is that people complain about the voice acting but they never really say what's wrong with it. It's supposed to be cheesy and over the top at parts and when it's serious (aka the Jenne and Bayonetta interaction parts) I feel that the voice acting is done well too. 
 
Also, Enzo is supposed to be a goofy idiot.

I'm on my third play-through (just beat Hard), and I continue to love Bayonetta. I normally can't even stand this kind of game.

Bayonetta is a good game.  I recommend it.

I wasn't hyped for this game so I'm surprised to see it get so much critical acclaim. If I have the money I might consider picking this up because it really does look like ridiculous fun.

o so is this game a fast game to beat? i never really heard of this game before. i have heard from people on the forums here but never looked into the game.

Well I spent 20 hours on it at this point so I obviously like it. Which is strange because it's a character action game. I traded in DMC4 after playing 2 hours of it.

Bayonetta is excellent. My only complaint is there should have been more Enzo.

Agreed awesome game, I just wanted a fighting game, so picked it up and I don't regret it. 
 
Randomly turning into a group of bats having mistimed the dodge, giant hair feet coming out of no where, semi-nakedness, what more could you want?

I'll play GoW3 for the story that I kinda have an interest in, and the brutal satisfying stuff that you can do in it..but as far as gameplay as a whole, I already know it won't come close to Bayonetta, its just set the standards too high for this genre at this point.

Definately gonna rent this out.

"However, you know what I am sick of? People already comparing this game to God of War 3. The only similarities between the two is that they both reside within the same genre. Comparing Bayonetta to God War 3, and vice versa, is like trying to compare WRPG to JRPG and saying one is better then the other. Though go try explaining that to thick headed gamers."

Some people don't understand, aesthetics and setting have NOTHING to do with the genre. Neither does where the game was made. GOW3 and Bayonetta are both basically rollercoaster rides. Ones a lot more self serious and the other a bit more gamey and self aware, but it stands to reason if you like one you might be interested in the other. Its kind of pretentious to act like just because Ninja Gaiden, DMC, and God of War require slightly different methods of input that its unfair to compare them. They're completely comparable. Linear corridors, insane combos, giant monster bosses. Slap a genre on it.

My main problem with the VO is that it just seem so bland and dry. No real emotion behind it. The cutscene also dragged on and on to point where I just sopped caring about the plot. Again, don't take it as me saying this game is bad, but that personally this game just didn't click with me.   However, you know what I am sick of? People already comparing this game to God of War 3.

Though go try explaining that to thick headed gamers.   Edit: I would also like to add that part of my problem with the VO is that since Uncharted 2 came out, the level of Voice Over (or acting in Uncharted 2 case) had been raised considerably. So don't take too much to heart, I also thought some of the VO in Dragon Age was bland.  "
