So, in verdict, a game with great gameplay, but with technical shortcomings and a weak story? That means I'll be getting a used copy shortly before the sequel comes out, but only if the technical shortcomings disappear.

Gameplay is the most important aspect, I know that, but the story and the technical aspect have to be good too, otherwise I'm not convinced to pay the full price. Especially since the visually lackluster PS3 version is the only one I can get (I don't know about you guys, but I truly HATE screentearing and blurry textures on top of an unstable frame rate).

I didnt mean it as an insult or anything its just that the Halo avatar made me believe that he is more into FPS and that type of games and of course Bayonetta its way different that those games,its not a bad thing at all thats all its just I thinks there is a genre and game if you prefer for all of us.

Just happen the game for me its Bayonetta hell yeah baby!!!!!

Dont take it the wrong way Kethmach =)

edit:

Sath what do you think of the review?

A new Queen is here to stay!!!

:P
Just because someone has a special avatar doesnt mean he doesnt like other genres.
For example I love FPS, western real time RPGs as much as 3rd person action games, be it shooters, RPG or hack and slash.

And no I didnt read the review of a game I am not interested in, I just have to watch enough videos and previous impressions to know what interest me or not, and unfortenetly the style is too weird for me and I cant like it even if its in my top favorite genre.

"A game that no player that considers himself a gamer should miss."
I dont believe in that.
I consider myself a gamer, but there is no way I am going near this one and that doesnt make me a less gamer.
I played the demo, and the demos purpose was to get my attention. Before the demo even was announced I didnt like it, but I STILL decided to give it a shot just for the combat alone, and I just couldnt get into it.

If you can mention even one game with no flaws you deserve a medal for achieving the impossible.
You obviously miss the point here. If we start to applaud unpolished games ("the new reigning king" - not my words), than we shouldn't be surprised to get less and less quality form developers. Sure, every game has flaws, but repeatedly ignoring issues like screen tearing, slowdown etc. has already made SOME developers sloppy (some were sloppy from the start and some don't want to be sloppy). It's not about "perfect" games, it's about worshipping them as if they were perfect.

Oh come on dont be jealous people just because Bayonetta destroyed NGS2 and will destroy Dante's Inferno,GoW3 and whatever action game out there doesnt mean they are not good games,this is Kamiya we are talking about here the man that started all.

But thats ok Bayonetta its not for everyone its a unique original game that shows that there is still developers with the balls to make an original game and put his ideas in there,in this time of generic shooters and sequels comes this new fresh game from Kamiya that apparently doesnt know how to make a bad not fun game.

As for me I will enjoy the hell out of it,will buy several copies of the game and I will play for the next 3 years or more this masterpiece.

The Queen as arrive and she will stay.....wheter you like it or not non gamers :P

"Despite some weaker parts and a technical side not always at the top, Bayonetta easily becomes the new reigning king..."

See, that's the problem... nowadays we are happy with flawed kings.
The problem today is we (read: you) want everything to be perfect. They can't create a game without a massive team and budget behind it because of people like you, the new gamers (unfortunately now the majority), won't touch it unless it's some kind of graphical monster. And because of the expense, nobody is willing to innovate on their tens of millions of dollars of budget so we end up with stagnant genres, Bobby Kotick, and EA laying off thousands of people for daring to spend a year on new projects.

Something unique comes along and what do you do? Spit in its face. "Waaaa, it's not technically excellent in all regards." You are everything that's wrong with games today.

Great game,I think it may be even better than DMC(and of course,NG or GOW too...) I like everything on this game,even the characters.If IRAIPT0IR is the "#1 Bayonetta fan" than for sure I'm the #2 Bayonetta fan!

Well I know i was about this with Dark Sector but look what that got me, nothing good unfortunetly but with NG2 it was in my nature to get overhyped. But yeah, new IPs are very exciting to look forward to, but keep saying it will break all other games in existence in the same genre is taking it overboard, not even I did that, thats why I said you are trying to break my record :P

And I agree that Bayonetta IS better than Ryu, for ONE reason and that is the idiots at Team NINJA is nerfing Ryu, badly!
I mean those who played NG1 and saw the CG before fighting the emperor knows what he COULD do or any other CG from NG to DOA4 CG ending and yet, in gameplay he is a damn nerfed bastard that is because the nutbrains in Team NINJA doesnt go wild with the series, the only "wild" they go is adding more females with big tits, so far to even making it a feature and make them so stale and "short" in moves.

This is why I am SICK of NG universe now and am looking into a new IP such as Dantes Inferno or most importantly, Castlevania Lords of Shadow to take a spot in my heart.

But Ninja Gaiden 1/B/S will always have a place in my heart because thats the only one that stays memoriable and took perfection in the first time, too bad the combat for NG2/S2 wasent in it.

But whatever, yes, I do agree that Bayonetta can beat Ryu, in his state right now anyways, but Bayonetta is not grounded and based realistically like Ryu is so you cant compare the two, like we mentioned many times.

Yeah he was more powerfull in NG Black or DOA4 and I dont understand what happened seriously.

Has for me I can love both games and I do I even like NG2 and I have it and I will not trade it but bayonetta did something that I tought it was impossible for me and that was a game that mixed teh combat in DMC and Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta ist that game,you can make combos like NG if you want and you can make them like DMC if you like too and for me that I love both its heaven

I agree that I make some comments that thsi game will destroy others and what not but that its just me being a little fanboy with this game,this game its my Ocarina of Time,my DMC,NGB,my SMB3 of this generation it even surpased Crackdown as my favorite 360 game.

I havent played the full game only the demo but Ive seen almost all of it and I know for sure that I will love the full game as I love the demo =)

You will find your new game Sath Im sure.

I dont blame you for loving and hyping a new game, keep doing that, I just hope you dont get dissapointed thats all. But if you have seen all that the game offers and you still like it then you are going to enjoy it.

As for me finding a new game, I know I will find something, DI and Castlevania LoS is the top ones right now, interms of 3rd person action hack and slash genre obviously.

to Blim Blim : i a missing some info on the review ..is there a new game + option that i can keep my moves and so on to the next playtrough? what version did you played ..loading times lightnig fast at least with the game installed...framerate issues had 2 time so far after 10 hours of gameplay and just 1 or 2 seconds.

As for this weird discussion going on...i simply love most actiongames, and the heroes or antiheores are supposed to do unrealistic stuff the more the better.
Jeah and i cant wait ti lay my hands on DI, Darksiders, GOW,Castlevania as well.

Edit former post: must have been the PS3 version, just played the first level and loading times up to ten times longer than on the Box and framerate is terrible.´
Bayonetta is one of the most beautyfull games i have even seen but definitvly
not on the PS3.

The Box Version is sooo much better in every aspect, its a shame and Sega should get a nutkick for screwing this beauty that much.

So i guess Blim Blim played the Sony Version

Wait. What?!. What happened to you?! You are supposed to be the cooler version of IRAIPT0IR, defending NGS2 until the very last without sounding totally biased! (just partially towards the greatness that is the NG/DOA multiverse).

Seriously, this comment marks a new era in Gamersyde, the day (November 13th) where Sath actually bashed NG2 and NGS2.

Now, this brings back memories, i actually never thought about it, but you were the same person who defended NGS2 despite stating that the new style (devoid of blood and adding flashes everywhere) wasn't to be taken so much into consideration if the gameplay and overall experience improved. And also, since you can't get over Bayonetta's style you are not willing to give the full game a try despite everybody else praising the gameplay.

Not that i blame you though, i don't like the style either. This game belonged to Tecmo, i actually think they could have donde a better job with it, maybe even add a Venus bikini.

Project Progressive, why do wes still got only a couple of pictures of that? Should i look forward? Maybe i should track the Tokyo Vikings instead.
