Bayonetta is tasteless and immature. What do you think?

[default]

What the hell do big corporate game desingers think we are nowadays? Do they think we're all sexually frustrated creeps with bizzare fetishes? Bayonetta isn't even sexy, and the story and concepts are shit. True, it was made in Japan. Do they get excused for this? No. Keep your creepy sexual fantasies to yourself, and put your obvious talents to something with some taste for God's sake.

I'm a very aesthetic based guy, and if a game looks or sounds bad I can NOT enjoy gameplay. I'm looking at you, Japan!

Now, Japan can make some beautiful works. Look at things like Zelda and some JRPGs. Wonderful stories and artwork. But occasionally you get some shit like the game mentioned beforehand: A shallow as a teaspoon mindless boob-fest, with awful design and storytelling and incredibly immature depictions of women and sexuality in general.

Thoughts? Do you disagree? Do you just think it's all in fun?

How would YOU feel if you were a game designer who had to make that game, would you begin to despise yourself? I'm sure I would...

I'm sorry, I'm just really getting tired of things like this nowadays, popping up everywhere. They just lack taste...

I found myself laughing at the silliness of the concept and Bayonetta's dialogue more then anything.

 

[Sacman]

I thought it was one of the most interesting games of the year to say the least...

The only good thing about Bayonetta's character design was that it brought about Yahtzee making a fantastic joke about taking a saw to her legs.

 

[Palademon]

Well, you've just sold the game for me

 

[Deathkingo]

Yes, yes it is. But its damn fun.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Meh, I thought it was awesome, but, hey it's not your thing.

 

[grimsprice]

Ha ha you totally missed the point of the game.

It laughed at itself. Which i thought was hilarious. I enjoyed the shit out of it.

(although i must say Jubileus's black hole attack was a cock-move.)

I don't agree with your analysis, it is not as bad as you say and in fact is no different from any other Japanese game. You appear to have been taken in by the rather tacky marketing campaign which surrounded this title. The Playboy pictures etc.

The game has an fairly interesting aesthetic, a usual lack of understanding of anything regarding Western occult and religion Lore. If anything that grinds on me.

Oh look Odin wait he wears armour now has two swords and transforms into a horse, WHAT?

But basically Bayonetta is no different from any other game!

Oh hell yeah, I'm sure the gameplay is great. BUT gamplay is not hard to design, just takes a team and some simple and good ideas.

It seemed interesting enough and the demo was fun, though I can't help but feel it'd be a little awkward for a girl to actually buy (with the one-handed-mode and the innuendos and all that; a game clearly geared at guys), but it seems like it'd be fun to play some day nonetheless.

But I have heard that it's meant to be kind of a joke. It's supposed to be over the top and stupidly silly.

 

[Signa]

And I suppose that geyser of blood at the beginning of Army of Darkness was just there for excessive gore?

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Also it rips off Devil May Cry. Horrible.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Yes, it is tasteless and immature and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You absolutely cannot play that game one handed. Not only will you get your ass kicked, but you can't see anything for the colorful butterfly double jumps and the energy blade explosions.

Besides, it radiates kick ass way to much for you to pass it up. (assuming you have even the slightest interest in Devil May Cry style games.)

 

[The Arc of Eden]

Dude, if it's not your thing then just let it go. No one is forcing you to play it. If fact, the game benefits from you not playing it.

Just walk away, and no one will get hurt. just walk away, it'll all be over soon. Just walk away...

I agree with you. And il be damned if it was not for the shit and giggles.

Oh and to avoid the blackhole attack just go in panther mode.
