Bayonetta

[Shirokuma]

just got this game yesterday...i'm still having trouble finding a word better than amazing to describe it.

it's fun. like, this is the first game in a while that i've actually enjoyed playing. Ninja Gaiden was kind of like, just playing to play...but Bayonetta is everything DMC and NG are, remove all the annoying and crappy parts, and add even more style and flair.

i'm only on the 4 level so far, but i'm totally loving this game. it probably helps that Youji Shimamura, action director for Versus, had a hand in the action sequences. everything is so stylized and fun to watch.

this game doesn't re-invent the wheel in any way, but it's the best there is at what it does. play it!

I got to play the demo early since I am a member of SegaPass (go figure, hehehe), and I really enjoyed the demo.

I am happy that the rest of the game is holding up to the demo.

i cant wait for bayonetta

I got the early demo pass as well, and I thought it was just weird. It's a good action game, a bit too much on the beat-em-up side of things for my taste, but the design is too odd. I don't think I'll be forgetting it anytime soon, though.

I hear the PS3 version blows compared to the 360 version, which sucks for me.

I did not know that. I really enjoyed Versus, too.

'Tis true, but from what I understand, Sega and Sony are working overtime to bridge the gap before the US release.

Load times have been the number one complaint, and patch came out today:

loved the demo game is on the way from gamefly

I tried the demo and found it to be like DMC on steroids with hair powers. While I enjoyed it, I don't think I enjoyed it enough to pay 60.00 for it. May pick it up used or wait for the eventual price drop.

I beat it on Normal last night. You wanna talk about epic.... While the story made no sense, the ending was just more grand than anything I've ever seen before. I'm currently playing it again on Hard.

Lot of nice homages to Gears of War and Devil May Cry in some cutscenes. And the Space Harrier stage was a nice touch!

[Thrashdance]

My friend picked this up on Saturday and I was watching him play it, the game looks like it would be really fun. My bro said he was a little less than halfway thru the game, but the level design had the epicness of like the last boss of a final fantasy. Really cool.

While I always appreciated them, I was never a big fan of the Devi May Cry games ...

... Bayonetta while very much in the same vein/style as DMC has a certain "something" that I can't put my finger on ... I suppose it goes over the top the way that the opening sequence of DMC 1 sort of promised but IMO never REALLY delivered on in a huge huge way.

If I'm not mistaken a lot of the ex Clover team worked on Bayonetta and it really feels like a great synergy between them and Hideki Kamiya.

Some of the best parts of God Hand seem to have made their way in to Bayonetta.

It's some of the most FUN I've had with a hack & slash/action platformer in a long long time. It's the first new title I've played on my new 52 inch Bravia ... and I'll reiterate how I felt about the PS3 demo with the full version of the game .... I'm really not sure what the complaints are about the graphics on the PS3 version, the frame rate looks solid, the textures are all nice, there's little to no tearing ... I really don't know what the issue is that people were bitching about prior to the game's release.

It's great great stuff and perhaps my favorite game of 2010 so far.

I finally got it.

It's the best game I've played on the PS3. Accessible, yet deep - it's been a LONG time since I've played a game as well designed as this.

Agree. It's even better since it's only $20 on both PS3 and 360 at Best Buy both on-line and in-store. Better hurry though, not sure when the sale ends.
