Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't SK gameplay similar to the Dynasty Warriors games? Basically, hack and slash button masher.
If DW only had like 8 enemies at a time and only one combo across all characters. There's minor differences, but the main pull of SK is just the ecchi.

bayonetta is the most iconic female character in video games to date uhm how dare you call her underrated i will fight you leggo booboo


HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahahahahahaahheeheehohohhohohohohawhaw....
*deep breath*
...aha.




No.

That would be ladies like Zelda, Princess Peach, Samus Aran, Lara Croft, Jill Valentine, Morrigan Aensland, Chun-Li, etc.

Bayonetta isn't even on the radar.

I just remember the demo for the first game was crappy so I never bought the game.

Plus she's creepy. Looks like if Sarah Palin played The Other Mother from Coraline.

I do like Bayonetta. But, it is true that sales of 1 or 2 weren't super great for whatever reason. That may be where the "underrated" comes from.
It just came across as a poor man's Devil May Cry. Like how they tried a Fantastic Four game after X-Men Legends.


But back on topic. I'm really worried that DOA is trying to turn into a full, SK like ecchi voyeur game. The Japanese marketing certainly seems to be making it look that way


But its kinda like.....when Dead Rising advertises, it makes it look like a wacky free roamy zombieland playground. But if you actually play it, instead its a dead serious, strictly timed game about the horrors of a zombie infestation. NOTHING like what the ads say. Hell you don't even have time to mess with the zombies

You are doing yourself a disservice, Bayonetta is amazing.

While I agree, that Bayonetta 1 and 2 are amazing games, two of the best of it's genre, It's not true at all, that the name giving heroine is the most iconic female video game character. o__O' Not by a looong shot. Maybe after 5 other amazing Bayonetta games in the future. ;)

1. If you take out the sexy costumes, then what exactly is even left?
2. There are home versions of Western games that have characters with their nipples out. What are they on about after all this time?
3. This is the game where you take pictures of sexy girls with the side extra fighting element, right?
You see this, Team Ninja? This is the opposite of "I'm a Fighter." This is the enemy. Why do you give support to the enemy?
