Zero Punctuation: Bayonetta

[Aiwe]

I liked the game, QTEs nonwhithstanding, but I have the X360 version so I'm not stuck with all the crapy loading issues. One weapon I would have liked to see in it is a whip, it seems as if this particular weapon would fit the theme of the game perfectly, but I haven't finished the game yet... so double fingers crossed

There is indeed a whip, it's pink (go hunting for those LPs).

The usual excellence without the recent bitchiness that has crept in at times, of late.

Thank you!

So does this mean that since he mentioned the three "like god of war, BUT"s in the darksiders review, that he'll review Dante's Inferno next?

Also, guess who's getting MAG tommorrow? DD

 

[uguito-93]

you should have picked up the 360 version as it was the overly more stable version. less things like loading and screen tearing during actual gameplay and faster loading times

 

[Moravich]

The review was accurate in alot of what he said and i did lol an awful lot, however i found it to be alot simpler to grasp the combat and story than the review shows, all in all, probably not worth buying because like devil may cry the replay-ability gets dull, however i did find myself wrapping in in 2 days because i couldn't walk away, the over exaggerated combat and ones you understand the story, it can be very amusing, i'd recommend renting it atleast once.

Nice visual gag with the pillow there, Yahtzee... had to include yourself in there somehow, huh?
And I've been meaning to pick up Bayonetta, but there's too many good things out. You gonna extend your "Like God of War But" theme month by including a No More Heroes 2 review?

 

[paralost]

yah like i said in the review supplement its like devil may cry except with girls...so it's exactly like devil may cry

Pink huh? I have a partial LP in my collection, its probably it, already got the claws and shotguns.

Yahtzee makes this game sound like it's a sex simulator...

Oh my God FOX WAS RIGHT! TIME TO BRING OUT THE TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

This was a pretty funny review, I mean I like all Yahtzee's reviews but this was the first one in a while I'd laughed out loud at. Especially at the vampires being likened to 'solar powered disco balls.' I hate Twilight.

 

[Deviluk]

Absolutely brilliant. Accurate to a tee.

I did notice Yahtzee's comments lacked the usual levels of vitriol, maybe he liked parts of the game too?

I bet the pillow was put in there as a not so subtle reference to Kathleen swooning over him in the previous ENN.

A whip you say? i have good news for you friend, look up a weapon named Kulshedara (unless i screwed up the spelling).

 

[Uszi]

Holy shit.
Funniest one in a while...
Like, Bioshock review funny.

GOOO YAHTZEE

Do ME2 next week. I'm curious to see what you think of the changes the developers made.

 

[YukoValis]

Wait you complain about the things in the last game, and now this game has things different you complain about it too? *sigh* I liked this game, just not on the PS3.

You must be new to Zero Punctuation.

Actually if you look at my profile I'm not. It's not his usual to complain about something bad, and then about a lack of something bad, like it was a bad thing. get it?

 

[jkklol94]

Ha nice bit at the end there about borderlands. i was gonna suggest that, but i know how you respond to suggestions

Good review. agree that the QTE were extremely poorly placed. but Also since you apparently have all 3 systems. it's your own fault for getting the PS3 version. since the game comes out later in australia you would have had at least a week to find out that the xbox version has no load times and better graphics

The game came out in Australia on January 7th.

[Mr.Baginki]

HaHAhAhAHAHAHAH.... Weegee!!!! we are all doomed!! lolz

 

[Chaotic Neutral]

So...

It's Devil May Cry, with new and apparently interesting combos, an entertaining if bizzare story, all the fanservice is oriented to guys instead of chicks, and I don't have to feel so bad about that last bit because it's coming from a director who's proven willing to provide the ladies a little something too? (Seriously, if you can ignore his attitude or are just fond of jerks, fanservice might as well be Dante's last name.)

On the other hand, loading sucks, and I don't have a 360, nor am I going to buy one, probably not ever. So no quicker 360 version for me.

I'll add it to my pile of games to buy when the price goes down, I guess. Breast Best review in awhile.

...I feel bad for making that joke. Honestly.

Didnt they announce a patch to install the game to the harddrive?
