The game is so over-the-top and batshit insane I found it difficult to take it seriously. And it's not really supposed to -be- taken seriously. It's a spectacle fighter that lets you kick major ass with massive hair demons. Yes video games are a great art form, and there should be more artistic games, but we also need batshit insane stuff like Bayonetta. It's the exploitation film of the games industry.Digi7 said:
Bayonetta is tasteless and immature. What do you think?

But notice that the cases are different, mainly in Leisure Suit Larry, the game is about getting chicks, of course that it has tits and sexual jokes. Now Bayonetta is a game that could be played without the sexual inuendos, the only excuse for them to be there is Japan.s69-5 said:
The only game from your list that didnt need tits is X-Blades (I didnt even knew it was Russia, had the idea that was Japan). Its sad but Japan does a lot of weird sexual shit in their games
As with features like 'The Expendables', I think they were somewhat going for an over-the-top tongue-in-cheek look at action games.
I agree though, I didn't like its appeal and never got very far. DMC may have had a stupid protagonist but it was enough to beat the first few games.

Who cares, if you don't like the game then ignore it. Don't create hate threads. It's just a game, get over it.
Tastless and immature? No, I wouldn't say so. One of the best games I've played all year to be honest.
. . . And I thought was a spectacular leap into fishy and nerdgasming waters, where all the bodacious dialogue and insane cutscenes were home to the most bombasticly flamboyant and super-retarded characters ever seen on a home gaming console, to say the MOST.Sacman said:
I had a lot of fun with Bayonetta. I mean, sure, the sexuality part of it was a little out of control, and her legs were ridiculous. But I thought it was really entertaining! I mean, come on, she break dances and shoots people with her shoes! Where else do you find that?

love it.
OP you might be happy to know I stopped playing Bayonetta after my first hiatus during which I forgot all the combos. didn't feel like re-learning them, and I haven't played it since.
anyone interested in a slightly used copy of Bayonetta for the 360, slightly sticky.

I figure it would be quite productive to pick up a copy of Bayonetta as opposed to a copy of Instrument Simulator 56 or Generic War Shooter 37. I'd say that it's one of my favourite games in my collection. I might play through it again some time soon. Hmm, there's a holiday break coming up for me, on that note...
Immature? Making a sequel to Cats and Dogs was immature. Tasteless? Congratulations, you have an opinion.
What do I think? I think I'm sick of Guitar Hero and Call of Duty.

Bayonetta is sexy, and taste is overrated. Why does everything have to have taste? Why can't you just enjoy boobs, guns, and over-the-top 1-on-500 gravity-defying brawls like every other warmblooded male on the planet?
I really don't understand how that's supposed to be shameful. I thought aspiring to be more than animals meant being MORE, as in ADDING more "refined" and "cultured" traits on top of what came before. That doesn't mean we have to wash ourselves of the perfectly healthy and very fun urge to mentally stimulate ourselves over an idealized rendering of the opposite sex every now and then.

Dude....the game industry is the same as hollywood action movies T&A is second only to homophobic muscle men.......Digi7 said:
The only thing I hate aside from transformers and twilight and batman with Uma Therman is games with minimized unbalanced mechanics like Bioshock,Fallout 3 and such.
Dunno if Bayonetta is the game you want to call tasteless. While its certainly an odd game that offers some exploitation it also goes nuts with its premise and becomes all the more glorious for it. I'd be calling out games like X-Blades or Dead or Alive Volleyball which really don't seem to be about style, and thus by extention art, at all. I mean, yeah, there's some crazy fetish stuff in the game, but crazy fetishes are popping up a lot these days. One example that comes to mind is comparing the guy from the film Cash Back, who imagines freezing time so he can sketch women as captured in certain moments, to the guy in the Heavy Rain DLC who stuffs women and keeps them around as statues. I kind of see a connection in the appeal there, with the latter being the dark side of it.
