Dude, this game was barely talked about. I'm on this site all the time and I've only seen a good 20 people ever talk about the game. Then yesterday, there was a thread talking about the gamespot review. How is that hype? Besides, just because it looks lame to you, how is it bad? You haven't even played it and you're talking smack about it. So go sit in a corner and play it before making your judgments.

What hype? Surely it isn't on Gamespot because I haven't seen any.

Good Review=Hype? Since When? && Just because it looks lame to you that doesn't automatically make it a bad game? Your logic is highly flawed

Man every time a AAA title gets released not everybody has to like it...just because you don't like it, the game automatically sucks of course or is overhyped...happens every year.

It's an awesome game, and the hype is tiny compared to some recent games.

I don't like Bayonetta, and I don't like any games like it--never have, never will, but even I can understand that other people don't share my opinion. And besides, my opinion on it is simply based around the fact that I can't stand on rails button mashing fighting games. It's part of the reason that, after watching the Devil May Cry anime, I still couldn't get into DMC 4 no matter how hard I wanted to.

Game was hyped by a very small, dedicated following of fans. It obviously deserved it though due to all the great reviews it has received. Game is hella fun although very difficult in my opinion.

There's this thing called an opinion. You should look it up, everyone has their own. It's a pretty cool thing so I definitely suggest you look it up.

Dictionary.com should be able to assist you.

That's because DMC4 sucked. It's pretty hard to get into a terrible game, unless it's something oversimplified like Call of Duty.

Haha. A lot of people are talking about it because it's the first great game of 2010. I'm pretty sure once other great games come out, you'll hear less and less about it...

Oh, and before someone says "DON'T JUDGE A GAME BY THE DEMO!!!!111one!!!!" - That's what a demo is for.

MadVybz

most demos for games suck

BioShock demo - blows

Red Faction Guerrilla demo - blows

Skate 2 demo - blows

all of those games i consider AAA, so do many ppl

and they arent the only ones...playing a demo is like reading the back of a book...just a sneak peak at what there is to offer

Not much hype behind it to be honest. It's too bad really. Bayonetta is one of the best action games I have played in years. Blows DMC4 out of the water. If anything it deserves more hype.

I didn't like the Dead Rising demo, and I love Dead Rising, I like the Bio Shock demo and I love Bio Shock, i liked the RE5 demo....you get the picture, my point is you can't judge the game by the demo. I didn't like the demo for this or Dante's Inferno, but they did get me in the mood for this type of game, now I'm playing DMC4 and I'm enjoying it far more than I did last time. Bayoneta looks like it has bad graphics and weird action, this will be a game I will wait for it to be cheap to buy.

Aside from the one article from Gameinformer magazine interviewing the creater of Bayonetta, there's like zero-hype for this game. If anything it deserves more attention that it has already garnered. Let there be hype.

bayonnetta is one of those games that has such a deep and varied combat system,it takes quite a few plays to get into the rythum and really appreciate it,also it gets better on a second playthrough and its around 20 hrs long,and not forgeting to mention the silky smooth 60fps gaming throughout which 99% of games cant even get close to and youve got one special game that has been the least hyped game for ages.not to mention the reviews that are 10s and 9.6 etc....give it a chance and be pleasantly supprised

I haven't seen any hype in the 360 forum. I've seen some in the PS3 forum, though. Bayonetta probably isn't for everyone but, if you enjoy games like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry, you should definitely check out Bayonetta. I might buy it tomorrow.

That's funny, because those demos made me consider those games to be quite solid.

Bayonetta on the other hand, allows me to kill anything everything I want by mashing only one button. People tell me that the combat is deeper than that, but what's the point if I can beat a giant angel-boss-type thing by mashing Y?

This game does suck, that's for sure. But there wasn't much hype around it...fortunately. Everyone with a little self-respect should stay away from it. And before fanboys start flaming, that's just my opinion, you can have yours.

Seems like you have a different kind of 'common sense'. One that suggests everyone who doesn't agree with you is a troll. Way to go.

Trolls use the word "sucks" to describe a game instead of giving specific reason why, also the way you worded the post to belittle those who like the game speaks volumes.;)

Actually this topic was opened by someone who did NOT like the game. And you have a funny definition of the word "troll". Anybody who says a game sucks is a troll? What kind of "common sense" is that?

Reread what you quoted, I believe it said "Trolls use", It doesn't say "everyone who says a game sucks is a troll ", nor did it say YOU were a troll, you taken offense and even bringing up the word "troll" in the first place when I didn't call you one is suspect.

Of course you are going to discredit my intelligence when you get caught on something that is fact, which is the fact that I never called you a troll lol. What I will say is that trolls post derogative messages on the topic at hand in order to provoke or bait other posters into flaming, or reacting out of character...If you didn't think you posted something derogative you wouldn't have said "flame me if you like", you could have worded your opinion in a more constructive way.

How does "you wrote this to get a reaction" intertwine directly with troll ? you read what you wanted to read, you already made up your mind to defend yourself because what you posted was derogative.

What are you basing your opinion on? Did you buy Bayonetta, play through the whole game then decide you didn't like it? Or have you decided the game sucks and only people with no self-respect would like it, after just playing the demo?

I have finished it actually. What I didn't like was the story/characters. Too cheap in my opinion. To think that people compare it to DMC series, makes me hate it even more. I mean you have characters like Vergil, Dante, Arkham, Lady, etc etc etc in DMC universe, not to mention awesome bosses, each with its own characteristics. Compare those to Bayonetta, Jeanne, Luka and the bosses which look, sound, act the same........I mean seriously, they don't even come close to cool.

I don't care about character design. The important thing here is combat, IMO. As long as the combat is good, I'll be happy. I'm guessing not everyone cares as much as you do a about "cool" character design. Not to be put off by it that much that you hate the entire game and tell all the people on this forum that if they bought it and like it they have no self-respect. Don't you think that's a bit extreme? Can't you understand how that could be considered trolling and trying to create a reaction? Telling someone they have no self-respect isn't exactly the nicest thing to say and it probably won't generate a positive reaction. Anyway pooyanh, what's your gamertag? .
