It's Devil May Cry, only idiot-pretty-boy is replaced with bitchy-sex-witch.
I don't really see the big deal.

Digi7 said: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...

Yeah, i know, i figured it out the second time. Doesn't change the fact that i had to go all the way back to her FUCKING PURPLE HEALTH BAR with absolutely no idea what happened. At least the transmogrifying disc blades of homing childness didn't reset almost the entire battle. Past that it was a pretty epic end to a kick-ass game with some sweet matrix cutscenes.Evilsanta said:I agree with you. And il be damned if it was not for the shit and giggles.grimsprice said: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.)
Oh and to avoid the blackhole attack just go in panther mode.
Erm... So you are saying that you find a game distastful, yet you haven't played it?Digi7 said: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.
Be prepared to face both the "it's just a game" crowd and the "but she's a strong female lead and therefore all feminism is more or less wrong on the subject" crowd. Both are kind of dumb, if you ask me.Digi7 said:What the hell do big corporate game desingers think we are nowadays? Do they think we're all sexually frustrated creeps with bizzare fetishes?

And therein lies the rub. Irony and camp are not catch-alls for people to hide behind when things get dicey.blase said:I know that Bayonetta also isn't supposed to be taken seriously but I don't buy that. The limited time spent in the game made me feel like the layer of supposed irony was very thin and only there to disguise what Bayonetta really was: a realization of someone's messed up fantasy.
Well lets be honest about games like bayonetta and devil may cry n such. Think of them as the action movies of the video game genre. They are not there to increase out intelligence and make us think. They are there for us to shoot shit slash shit and beat shit up. They will not have the best story..they will not have the best music. hell devil may cry was one damn metal song for like 4 games lol. god of war killed his family and went all emo and blamed it on everyone else instead of himself like he should have..not ground breaking story's imo. you play them for a quick bit of fun and laughs then get on with your day. if u are offended by the sexuality of her and her randomness.. DONT FUCKING PLAY THE GAME! Read a review befor purchasing. its like buying a porn called back door sluts 9 and being offended when you realize its hard core pornDigi7 said:What the hell do big corporate game desingers think we are nowadays?

Watch and pay attention to MovieBob's character analysis of Bayonetta:chewbacca1010 said:I am sick of the rampant misogyny in gaming though, seeing as how I'm no longer a teenager who thinks with his dick all the time (now I just do it on the weekends).
