Is it worth getting an xbox just for bayonetta?

I love Bayonetta (quite bad at it but still enjoy it) but getting a whole console for one game? Not worth it. If you can install it to the PS3 hard drive, go with that instead. Saves you a lot of cash

Lotta love for this game, but I only have a ps3 and a PC. Since the PS3 version is dogshit, I'm debating whether to pick up a used xbox360 on ebay for Bayo.

Could you also include in your answer a couple of your favorite games from this gen so I know if we have similar tastes?

Sad to hear you hate a completely workable version of the game. Maybe something's up? It should be the exact same thing.

Used to be, this kind of thing would be a tech support opportunity, not a rant target.

Don't get an Xbox for Bayonetta. Get an Xbox for Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. That game is the tits!

Nope, I found the gameplay rather dull. The story was moderately interesting because of how bizarre it was, but it really isn't the focus point of the game. To be honest I wouldn't recommend you buy it (at full price) if you had an xbox. I really wouldn't pay more than 30 bucks (Canadian) for it.


Some of my favorite games this generation:
Amnesia: Dark Decent
Walking Dead
Dragon Age: Origins
Bioshock

Wow, just learned something in this thread I wasn't aware of, people actually like Bayonetta...a lot. I freakin' hated it, but that's just my taste I see.

This is embarrassing but I have it for both 360 and PS3. I honestly didn't notice a difference after installing the patch on the PS3 version. Yes, I must be insane. I also plan on getting the digital download of Mass Effect 1 for PS3 despite having beat it six times on 360. STOP JUDGING ME--ah, the voices.

cheers everyone. suppose I'll give it a shot on PS3. Why do Japanese devs ignore the pc.

Well, it is a Sega game after all. Probably not a whole lot of love between Sega and Sony. I remember reading that Sony had to patch Bayonetta themselves. Sega either didn't want to or couldn't do it.

Oh, I just caught my mistake. You said PC. That's actually a really good question.
