Good epidode long legs indeed

I had doubts about this game from the demo and you have sold me to not get it.
How did he sell you not to get it? He did not say it was a bad game, heck by Yahtzee standards he said it was "good." You people need to stop taking Yahtzee's reviews as gospel, I love his Zero Punctuation series, but I can honestly say I have never said, "OH, YAHTZEE HATES THIS GAME, I SHALL AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!" IMO Yahtzee's reviews are more for the lulz than the actual review. Yeah, he knows what he's talking about, and yeah he makes some great points, but he often seems to pick the games faults apart piece by piece on purpose.
blasphemy !!!!!!!!

i don't take his reviews all that seriously but i had doubts about this game even when the teaser was shown, even if he said it was fantastic i probably not have gotten it. I didn't like DMC all that much and him saying it was like it with QTE didn't improve my opinion on it. Besides if i did listen to him i wouldn't of gotten MGS4 and SH5 and enjoyed them.

now where was oh yes Oh yahtzee forgive this troubled soul for he does not know what he does. May the yahtzee be with you children, and criticise everything

I actually like the way sexuality is handled in Bayonetta. It's obviously very over-the-top, but it's an overlying theme in the game and doesn't feel like something blindly tacked on to ring in more customers, like most sexuality in this sort of game does.

Of course, I'm sure ringing in more customers was one of the things they took into consideration when designing the game and its protagonist. But they didn't just give the main character an inexplicably skimpy outfit and leave it at that; they made it part of Bayonetta's character, and I think in the end this made the sexuality more "fun" than "sleazy", to use the terms lightly.

Love the review, love to see how it defines you as well.

Figures though why you hate the quicktime events so much. You hated Demon's Souls which is about the only game that is spectacular and has NO quicktime events AT ALL! When is it good enough? What kind of fun challenge would you possibly seek?

i don't know if you guys are listening or not, but basically yahtzee is saying that the game is actually a decent game you twits. the only game he is not gonna talk shit about is portal! he is saying it's a decent game that is fun despite it's many flaws so why are you all saying it your not gonna play it because of his review. it like you all only listned to the insults and assumed he did not like playing the game you twits! he said play but don't follow the story line. thats the summary! you have comprehesion skills ppl! use them! why the hell are you trying (and failing)to be fucking sheep!

Pretty spot on. The action often does come down to just button mashing as opposed to true combo work like in GoW, the game often does rate you poorly, and the plot and cut-scenes are extremely convoluted and drawn out. Still, when it's fun it is lots of fun, but there's still quite a bit of shit to shovel through..

Two Devil May Cry clones in a row. I wonder of Yahtzee just finds these kinds of games halfway bearable enough to review.

Very good review. The game is sh*t, though. I really hope (or don't hope?) that there is going to be a Mass Effect 2 review. I liked the first part very much, and there were games Yahtzee said worse things about, so I'm curios.

So Yatzhee actually enjoyed this game? Or did I misinterpret what he said?

Laughed hard at some key parts of the review. Agree about the story (put me off the game, actually) and the lame, unvaried soundtrack.

Very funny. My mind boggles at Pacmans story too.

However, still no shattered memorys?! I want to here from a silent hill lover whether the new one is shit or not, is that too much to ask?
Shattered Memories isn't out in Australia until March, and he can't import Wii games for some reason.

I get the impression that the PS3 is Yahtzee's preferred platform because most PS3 games are region free and therefore easy to import. Most 360 games on the other hand are region locked and therefore can't be played on different regional systems through any conventional means. The same is apparently also true for Wii games.

That's the problem. He doesn't address the issue of whether the game is actually good or not. So we really don't have a Zero Punctuation verdict on Bayonetta yet. Hopefully he'll clear this up with a subsequent Extra Punctuation article.
