Bayonetta

I feel kind of weird rooting for a game to fail, but I must say that I am doing just that.

Bayonetta is the anti-Shawn. I HATE the idea of this game. From all accounts, it's a gameplay miracle, but the idea of it is so repellent to me that I don't think I could stand to play it. Plus I didn't like Devil May Cry, anyway

It does sound awful. I certainly won't be spending money on it until it gets really cheap, and probably not even then.

That said, have you seen 40-Year-Old Virgin?

It's supposed to be super fun to play, and that may be true. However, it's like Devil May Cry on steroids and I found that game to be incredibly boring, while everyone else on earth didn't, so I'm probably a pretty poor choice for an opinion on it.

Devil May Cry lived and died on one game mechanic: You could seamlessly shift between your sword and guns and combo them into various attack patterns. If this didn't really impress you, well, there wasn't a lot else in the game to hold your attention. People will tell you about the engaging story. It isn't.

Bayonetta is like this times 1000. It's like paying $60 to be constantly insulted.
