Bayonetta 2 gets a 10.
Posting in a legendary thread
It has been more than four years since GameSpot gave a game a 10 score with Super Mario Galaxy 2 being the last game. It also suprises me that a Wii U game received this score before the Xbox One and PS4.
GEN OVER. WIIU WINS
Nice I knew my Wii U would be useful at some point. Then again I dont care for review scores, but I was always buying the game regardless.
@ActicEdge: wow it now gives me a reason to go out and pick up a wii u just for this game. Ive always been a big fan of the bayo franchises and many of platinum games.
Polygon gave it a 7.5, lol. That's not unsurprising, coming from them, and considering this game. Here's their genius conclusion:
BAYONETTA 2'S BLATANT OVER-SEXUALIZATION PUTS A BIG DENT IN AN OTHERWISE GREAT GAME
When Platinum Games is on, it's really, really on, and Bayonetta 2 is in almost any respect that counts a better game than the first, whose mechanics were already exemplary. But every time I'd feel on a roll, enjoying my time with Bayonetta 2 immensely, I'd be broken out of it by another cheap shot of T&A. I would be wrecking a flock of angelic or demonic enemies, sliding in and out of witch time almost at will, and then the special weapon I had picked up became a literal stripper pole for Bayonetta to dance on, because ... well, because, I guess.
I won't guess why the blatant over-sexualization is still there, often more intensely than before. But it causes an otherwise great game to require a much bigger mental compromise to enjoy.
This shit gives me cancer.
Holy shit. Aris told me yesterday how crazy it would be if it scored a 10... wtf...
Bayonetta 2 is this gen's MGS4, except good. Can't wait to pick it up.
Not surprising that Mark Walton would give a Wii U exclusive a perfect score, he's the biggest Nintendo fanboy on Gamespot staff by far.
Let the damage control begin...

yea stuff like that in reviews are annoying. Though every review site is guilty of doing it.
Nothing will match the MGS4 10. Shit was unbearable for months :P
Months? It went on for years D:
Except if somebody rubs Bayonetta 2's score in your face, you can only go "Yup. It's pretty damn good..."

eh not really true. I mean not everyone is going to fall in love with it.
Didn't see that coming.
I've never played Bayonetta before, but this is actually impressive for the Wii U's scarce 3rd party library.
Now, if only sheep start buying this, maybe 3rd party developers may actually follow suit.

I suppose not everyone likes quality :(

Frankly when Galaxy 2 got a 10 my prayers were finally answered. A AAAAE that didn't bore me to tears :P
Man. MGS4 was an awful period of SW.

Games scoring AAAAE are always amusing, seeing cows fawn over such an awful game though was hilarious, but got tiring after a while. MGS4 was easily the weakest entry in the series.

Yeah, SMG2 was pretty cool.

Damage control? More like being realistic. I hope the game does well because the first Bayonetta was incredible, but one dude's opinion means relatively little in the big scheme of things.
Even the worst games get perfect scores from some reviewers.

I kinda felt the same when the Mario galaxy two score hit. not saying its awful just wasint that fun to me.
Bow down to the Queen system wars, as Platinum game promptly puts it on the scrub status video games made by the likes of Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. Bunch of posers to the throne.

Bradley shoemaker probably gonna try to hold our team down with his tom foolery.
Watch now LTO, all these nintendo people gonna hop on our bandwagon like we weren't the ones leading the charge on the Bayonetta love in spite of the game being handcuffed to pretendo.

The game itself was w/e but the way cows talk about that shit, you'd think it'd cured aids. Was ridiculous honestly.
This game actually looks like it deserves the score, at least from the videos I've seen, unlike some of the other 10s that were given out previously. Too bad I can't afford to buy a system just for one game. (consoles are rather expensive where I come from, given no official channels of distribution and other reasons)

He's the one reviewing it? Hmm... Well, it's not DOTA, so probably, yeah. I don't wanna watch that Quick Look until I've played the game.
rofl, true. omg bayonetta so awesome was in on this day one and all that!
Oh well. It's a WiiU. You grab whatever victory you get.

yea I really like the game but oh boy some of the post got out of hand.
and why we take just 1 review? how about compare IGN rated 10 games? oh wait.. last of us was rated 10 but bayonetta 2 not.
So, system war Wii U did not won.
