The in your face sexuality of Bayonetta turned me off the game.

Every 30 seconds when I had her ass or tits in my face, I kept thinking fuck they should have put more effort into making a game that is not repetitive as shit, rather than making sure the main character's tits bounce just right.

I'm sure we did. Every attack has a 'sexual' pose, every cut scene her ass takes up half the view in the camera, and on and on.

It's only $13 on inetvideo.com - I will be picking it up! I think all the sexuality escaped me while I played the demo. There was so much going I couldn't tell what was happening on screen.

I have yet to watch the video, but I did see one on gamer culture / health habits. I'm sure he does not snack on carrots or take exercise breaks during game play. I've actually done the exercise stuff between matches of COD and when I switch games. I'm very lazy otherwise.

I had to stop watching The Game OverThinker for this reason. Everytime I watch one of his videos, I end up pausing every couple of minutes and yelling at the screen. The whole "VIDEO GAMES COME FROM JAPAN" shtick pisses me off to no end.
He's made some interesting stuff before and I used to enjoy what he had to say, but at a certain point his videos really just started becoming more grating than anything else. Once he got to "Resident Evil 5 really is racist" I quit and never looked back.

I used to follow his videos on youtube and for the most part he brought up some good points but like others here the Bayonetta video was the last one i wathced. Since he went over to screwattack he just hasnt been the same.

After watching a few more videos... i can't take it. It's like being lectured by the kid in high school who believes his/her opinion is fact because he/she has a large vocabulary.

I agree with some of his points, but i don't think I could have a conversation with this guy because he is most likely really stubborn.

This almost takes me back to the Dead or Alive series.

It is a viable fighting game series if you ignore how deep Tecmo went to create jiggle-physics for their *ahem* Volleyball games.

(Also, over-thinking BAD. Just lie back and stop thinking. Remember to start thinking eventually though.)
