Bayonetta

[kabbes]

Meh, demo. Demo is as demo does. It's never going to be anything more than the most general possible ideas of look-and-feel. I tend to avoid them unless I already really, really want to play the game, for that very reason.

Nah it's just way too OTT, I didn't get any sense of actual control over the character, certainly not in the way that pulling off moves in DMC did.

I finished DMC, DMC3 and DMC4 (including DMC3 on Dante Must Die mode) and I'm telling you that you have WAY more control over Bayonetta than you EVER did over Dante.

maybe but the demo is just stupidly frantic and it was a nightmare even seeing where my character was, y'know like a Michael Bay action sequence.

I detested DMC, so not going to bother with this.

Very wise. Bayonetta is just a refined, enhanced and turbo-charged DMC. It has a very similar feel, which is hardly surprising, since it was made by the same person!

I think the main reason I didn't like those, if I'm really honest, was that I was rubbish at them. Too hectic for me.

A nice game of stamp collecting is more my pace.

Of all game genres, the DMC-alikes are my favourites. Ever since the days of Double Dragon!

She has GUNS on her FEET. Guns. Feet. She turns upsidedown and SHOOTS with the GUNS on her FEET.

She does a breakdance and the GUNS on her FEET shoot whilst she does the BREAKDANCE.

Am I not getting through to you here?

Well thats just bloody silly isn't it?

God, I loved that arcade machine when I was a kid!

So anyway I thought the demo made the game good enough to rent but not buy...

I thought the demo was piss poor, very button-mashy, and the first hour of the game having 45 minutes of cutscenes was making me think I was right.

After about 3 hours into the full game I started to change my mind, because i) there was actually some gameplay and it was good, and ii) I had gotten good enough at the combat that it wasn't button-mashing anymore, instead if was fluid and fun.

I'd probably rent it if I hadn't already brought it, but definitely worth a spin I think.

Just got this, it is so over the top and plenty of hilarious WTF moments. Such a change from colourless first person shooters.

Brilliant innit. Once you get enough rings to buy moves and weapons it gets much better.

I wish there were more crazy games.
