Oh, I thought I was alone in my opinion since everyone else I've spoken to loves it. I guess I'm not insane, yet.Xeogred wrote:Vanquish was more of a mood thing for me I'm sure, but Bayonetta?
Just bad, baaaad. Decent gameplay, but the onslaught of 5+ cutscenes in every level after every encounter/room, it definitely killed it for me after awhile. Just horrible pacing for an action game. The humor and characters didn't help at all either. It was just average, whereas Rising and Vanquish (I can probably tell) just have that awesome Arnold Schwarzenegger Predator level badassness to them.
Some people love it though, yeah. So who knows. I'm hoping 2 is the end and Kamiya can whip up something a bit more like Devil May Cry again down the road.
I don't mind how cheesy it is. I love cheese. Rising and Vanquish are nothing but cheese. Bayonetta's gameplay just couldn't hold my attention, though there's some incredible visuals.CavZee wrote:It's not any cheesier than the opening cutscenes in Vanquish or anything in DMC. I think my problem with Vanquish was I was playing it too much like a typical third person peak-a-boo shooter instead of sliding around everywhere.Violent By Design wrote:Always thought Bayonetta looked cheesy. I thought the Vanquish demo was pretty awesome though.
And yeah, if you go into Vanquish treating it like a normal cover-based shooter like I think a lot of people did the game feels slow and plodding. Once you get the hang of using Sam's mobility it's one of the fastest most insane action games out there.
