"Bayonetta is a witch, and in accordance with the retranslation of vampires from closet lurking bogey men to mopey solar powered disco balls, witches are now strippers" LOL
***** He added his own spin on it though and decided to use commas when quoting a Zero Punctuation video, that takes balls if anything else.
Ok but disco vampires are something I'd unironically love
"Nintendo wouldn't have a character like this!" Oh how the years make fools out of people.
+ Cagan Sooooo, Nintendo decided to have characters with hideous birth defects? Starting with Bayonetta? :P
Haha, I mean, all consoles had Barbie games didn't they?
Cagan
Well theres that as well :P
Cagan lol
Why, whom did they make? Bullet Witch was theirs? I always felt that was a Bayonetta ripoff.
the "Fortunately, being English,... " line cracked me the fuck up. Cultural humor is awesome from another side
does someone actually have a japanese love pillow with yahtzee on it
I'd buy one
You mean you don't?
Back off! You cant borrow mine!
If they didn’t, they do now because this question willed it into existence.
I do now.
"You wouldn't see Nintendo bring out a character..." That's funny.
I love the phrase 'garment rendingly frustrating'. So accurate.
"The occasional cheap death pulled right out the game's arse. I mean... arse."
I am a woman and really enjoyed playing Bayonetta. She's a woman who get's shit done and can take care of herself and looks like she has amazing fun doing it too.
Kinda like Isabela.
***** Yeah. I don't understand why a lot of people are so quick to dismiss female characters just because they have a healthy sexual demeanor. It not only paints a negatively that a woman in charge of her sexuality is somehow bad, but it's also just completely disrespectful to ignore everything else about her. Like Bayonetta's strong independent nature and surprisingly strong motherly instincts.
***** So exactly how much "lewdness" in this game? Just curious...
marc larry She has a pprovocativefighting style that I would say might be stripper and sometimes BDSM inspired, and since she uses her hair to summon her demonic power she gets nearly naked sometimes. Its funny and it pays into the games lore, and a bit of real world witch lore. It's a joke though and anyone who takes it seriously has problems. The thing to take seriously is Bayonetta's journey of self discovery.
Oh and FYI Bayonetta's character design was done by a woman.
Ironically, at 3:05ish he has Bayonetta on skates, which are actually one of the best weapons in the game
So you said at the start of this video that Nintendo wouldn't put out a character like Bayonetta.
HA, joke's on you!
+IshayuG who are you talking about?
+Drake Stevens probably talking about Rosalina, she is freaking huge!
+Drake Stevens He means Nintendo bought out Bayonetta. Somehow.
Microsizeme in wich case Nintendo didnt come up with a charecter like bayonetta....they bought one instead
in wich case the original comment in this thread is wrong
***** Don't be pedantic.
Yahtzee sounds completely wasted when you set the speed to 0.5.
Komnenos Thank you
Komnenos O.O I will always watch his videos with this on, also if you turn it to 1.5 speed or higher it sounds like he's high XD
Komnenos OMG that's hilarious! :D
+Komnenos half as fast, twice as funny
p o l i s h i n g a p i c k l e d G H E R K I N
3:04 I always thought the ice skates was just a joke about finesse until I played it and learned they are actual weapons you can use in the game
This game just makes me want to break things. I mean that whole "stone" achievement just PISSES ME OFF.
Also, I find her over-sexualized mannerisms hilarious more than sexy. I mean I am straight male, but she is so sarcastic about it that it makes me feel like she is joking about it more than anything.
I think that's the whole point behind the sexualisation in Bayonetta. Game doesn't take itself seriously and wants you to shut off your brain and combo everything to death as flashily as you possibly can!
It's a thoroughly ridiculous game but in a good kind of way. The moment I made her breakdance with guns firing out of guns strapped to her every limb I knew I was in for a ride.
so the published form of "hahaha unless?"
@@Ribbons0121R121 I mean, pretty much hahaha.
@@FuzzyLittleBastard unless?
I agree with Yahtzee how stories back then were simple, like Pacman: eat these and avoid ghosts.. though sometimes you can eat them if you ate- *ARGHHH*
This is one of my favourite games of the previous gen , it's insanely fun and I LOVE its enemy desings (aside from the loading screen and the sudden qte)
That Yahtzee body pillow though
+Sean O'Brien Okay! Who's been reading my fantasies journal?!
+The Welsh Elf oh sorry I'll beam it back *beams fantasy journal to welsh elfs hobbit hole*
the telekinetic rock Thank YOU!
So if anyone didn't notice, that bit on the Japanese Love Pillow at 4:19 used his face on the pillow with some bloke humping it.
Humility, Yahtzee. Jeez.
What are you talking about? It's a thing.
I have one.
Clan Sullivan You have a Japanese love pillow of yourself?
No, of Yahtzee.
Don't you?
Clan Sullivan BAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I suppose it was rather convenient that the term "spectacle fighter" was coined on a game where the lead wears them.
You know, in retrospect, now that I'm a few years older, am no longer a teenager, and have much more of an ability to laugh at myself and joke about stupid things in stuff I really, REALLY like... I really love this review of one of my favorite hack and slash games. And now that I have more of an ability to laugh at things I like, it's funny that this is actually a pretty positive review for him.
Oh, and having come from an extremely sexually repressive background, having a strong, badass female character who's not ashamed of flaunting her sexuality was actually super awesome for me as a repressed bisexual teenage girl.And if I ever get a Wii U, it will almost solely be for Bayonetta 2, though I wish to god it would just be ported to the Playstation.
". . . so chipping the first ten away only to die from a casual elbow to the face can be garment rendingly frustrating by itself without having to take it from the top."
I lost it about here XD
This being one of my favorite games, I can absolutely see where these points are positively valid. The only thing I disagree with is the 'soundtrack [being] boring'. I thought the soundtrack was suiting and exciting! It depends on preference, but it's like jazz had made sweet love with GOOD pop music. 'Fly Me To The Moon' was a great cover for it.
It was a good cover, absolutely, but there’s only so many times I can listen to Fly Me to the Moon before I want to rip off me ears and cauterize the fountains of hemoglobin with a white-hot ice pick.
Funny how the 'Japanese love pillow' has Yahtzee's actual face on it.
A Pencil stuck through a couple of grapes? At first I didn't get it so it was so random it was funny, but then I got it and it was HILARIOUS. You're awesome, Yahtzee.
I... still don't get it.
Sure she does. She looks like Sarah Palin
The love pillow was him, good one yahtzee
Well judging from that opening statement, somebody's clearly forgotten about Birdo.
Yup. Pacman's plot is really hard to follow.
I must admit, it’s one of the best-written ZP episodes so far. I lost it couple of times while watching, thanks, Yahtz.
Well I can say this game has a ton of what alot of games are missing these days. Extremely hard yet satisfying boss fights. Not to much probably the most epic final boss to date so far.
0:44 - Maybe Jack Skellington
Penny Drake
now is it hilarious that bayonetta 2 was the ad for this?
***** I realize and perhaps the term should be used as Ironic especially if you get christian ads over topics of atheism
Cody Hines exactly, I'm just saying the gauntlet should get thrown down
People actually played Bayonetta on the PS3? How can you live with yourself?
Well, that's the only console I had…
StarChaser That's no excuse.
So, what, I shouldn't have bought it and played the most awesome action game I've played since DMC3?
I'm lazy, also adopted my parent's philosophy: "not broken, don't fix it" to a fault. Mainly bought PS games after PS2. I had both N64 and PS1, but after buying PS2, my parents were like "only one console, we don't have enough money for more. And don't you have crapload of games for It already?"
Wii U is my first non-Sony console since N64
StarChaser PS3 Bayonetta isn't the REAL Bayonetta.
Oki. When my Bayonetta 2 arrives, I'll play the first one and check the REAL Bayonetta and get back to you.
Not like I can invent a time machine and tell my younger self to buy XBox instead of PS2
In the post-apocalyptic future year of 2018, Bayonetta is available on Steam. I find that the loading times on my PC are so short, that the combo-practice screen only flashes up for about a second at most. Playing this absurd game is so indescribably fun, however, and I'd have never heard of it had I not started listening to Yahtzee bang on about video games while I'm bored at work.
Just curious, how many of us watch Yahtzee for actual game reviews?
i do cause i share his hatred for JPRGs
He's good at pointing out a games flaws but since he focuses pretty much exclusively on the negative I wouldn't call it a review, I'd call it pissing on fanboys.
it was originally meant to be "review" but since he was criticised in every episode by fanbois, it became more of a 75% fcking with fanbois and 25% review ... alright make it 90%:10% lol
You're going to generalize hate on an entire genre of games?
dont we always do that?
Can't believe the vid wasn't taken down because of 1:31 after all those years
Remember: Just because you can understand the story doesn't mean it's good.
Granted, it doesn't take itself too seriously at times, but that still doesn't mean its a good story.
Fun game tho. 360 version doesn't have that silly loading problem.
I played this through several times on the PS3 and didn't have any of the loading issues either.
Maybe Yahtzee's PS3 has something wrong?
Apparently when it first came out, the PS3 versions had longer, more frequent loading times. It might have been patched since then but it was never crippling enough to make anybody else hate the game.
Aoi44
Maybe that was it then - I wasn't very punctual at getting a copy.
what are you talkin bout i think the story is decent...Not great but its good :/
I love this game because the combat is deep and stylish, I like how your enemy's are angels, shape shifting, a parry mechanic that is very useful on a harder difficulty when some enemy's can use "witch time" along side you, the boss' are huge and creative, I have a glasses fetish, "Fly me to the moon" plays during the game which makes me happy and nostalgic, different weapon combinations (like skating around with rocket launchers strapped to your arms for example), Bayonettas dancing and finally I played it on my Xbox360 and the load times were fine for me.
"tan-fucking-fastic" XDD
Yahtzee made the mistake of playing this game on a PS3. 3rd party games like this and Lollipop Chainsaw got shafted because of the long loading times. It's one of the reasons why the 360 was the superior console out of the two that generation.
Im totally with Yahtzee on the story and difficulty! This is one of those games which i love, but makes me wanna eat my controller in a flash of rage!
Yeah, same here.
+TheLazysketcher here is a question that many of us that plays bayonetta will agree with me, and that is:
who is that little girl!?!
Wolfgang Bowers Did, did you play the game? She's a younger version of Bayonetta brought into existance by her father in order to awake some sort of feeling in Bayonetta so she could use her eye of the world! I recommend watching the movie "Bloody fate", it explained everything in better detail.
I didn't know of the movie
Wolfgang Bowers See it, you wont regret is! The whole movie looks great, especially Bayonetta herself ;)
This is one of the episodes you can actually see yatzee having fun with the review :3
oddly enough he uses Bayonetta 2 as an example of one of the must-have games that could save the WiiU.
maybe it he just really likes her new hairstyle/personality.
The pixie cut serves her better than that beehive hairdo anyway. Every time I look at that, I am reminded of a bowling pin. Tenpin, not candlepin.
Candlepin bowling is much better than tenpin, but I digress.
Alex Snitzer That's why Jeanne is always best girl.
"That thing from Nights." I think that thing IS Nights.
Did you AT LEAST play to the level where you ride a motorbike up a rocket?
I want that love pillow.
That song during the credits, "Let's Dance, Boys", is a fucking masterpiece..
Fully agreed. I also like Fly Me to the Moon (Bayo remix) and Mysterious Destiny.
And now I have Bayonetta 2 demo (waiting for the game to arrive, and bought Wii U just for her, hehe) and I already love her new design and can't stop listening to Tomorrow is Mine.
"oh-ho what a day..."
Is living rent free in someone's head 😂
Anyone else noticed that Japanese love pillow had yhatzees on it?
1:26 I don't know why, but I love how he says "grapes" XD
01:26
To be fair yes, this game is a bit sexualized but shes a 300y old witch, can transform, has 4 guns, very strong, can transform her hair into gigantic monsters, and pretty much control time by slowing it down
Arguably she might be more powerful then Dante (( original one, not Dante may Cry )), she does not put herself low to backstabbing or going in bed with anyone to get her job don
And most of all she is not a helpess, nagging, little dumbass that keeps getting into trouble and you have to save her *cough* *cough* Peach *cough* Ashley Graham
So in other words, she is every 2000's female Hollywood asskicker.
Outstanding; and here I thought game characters were beginning to become creative!
One3673241
The problem is that game developers appear to have difficulty making complex female characters; they're often either empty shells that are only present for the purposes of eye candy or one-dimensional "badasses", such as Bayonetta. The former is done for the sake of exploitation, the latter is a ham-fisted attempt to over-compensate for the exploitation and claim, "No, seriously, she's a strong female character!"
I really don't understand why some developers have trouble making female characters that are human. It's no different than male characters, really; if you have a guy that's a "pure badass" with no flaws or emotions outside of self-assurance and aggression, you have a flat, boring character. There needs to be more characters like Aya Brea and Heather Mason; people that do awesome, kick ass things but have humanity and depth to them. They're not defined solely by their combat abilities.
Slider1207 Well since I bought The Eyes of Bayonetta I just want to let you know there was a lot of shit that was dropped because there was no time. For example Jeanne was supposed to be a high school teacher. The characters were meant to have a life outside of the main story. Also the sexualization of Bayonetta does have a purpose. The angels are based off of Christianity. In the Bible (i.e. Deuteronomy and Timothy) tells women to be submissive and do as they're told. In the end Bayonetta kills Baldr (Patriarchy) and rejects her destiny to give birth to god (Feminist revolution against Patriarchy. Women are not incubators yadda yadda yadda...). You see ladies Bayonetta killed God for you. You're welcome...
Azraelseraphim because killing god is always a good thing
Philip McCallion Of course considering the fact that the Judeo-Christian as well as Islamic God condones rape and the submission of women to men. A lady has to protect her booty hole as well as her autonomy.
I hate that moment where you've watched so many Zero Punctuation videos that you've seen all of the suggested videos and have to look more up... totally worth it, though.
I love this guy......
Finally a reason to watch this again at this date
I find it hilarious, that Bayonetta actually turns off so many guys, yet call it hypersexualized. She's a hypersexual character. Just not for you, but herself. She's one of the best examples of a female character in a sex-positive light in video games. Everyone in the gameworld respects her power and identity. They talk to her and treat her as equals. Not ONE person in the game talks about her appearance. You'd think a game that was meant to be tittilating to people would be more adequately fetishized for its audience, but that was never the point. That discomfort you feel isn't the sexualization, it's the nature of seeing a female character with the confidence to not be ashamed of her sexual identity, how shameful.
I swear to god both of you had a point and then I read the second part of your comments.
First of all: Women are not greedy money-mongering bitches like you said..well okay the majority isn't. On the other hand..who doesn't like money?
Please grow up and surround yourself with women are not mentaly FUBAR.
Second: It's not the fact that the main character is very sexual and confident with it,that disgusts (me). Heck that's what makes her sexy! It's the fact that the game is shoving it in your face like
"Hurrr Durr Sex sells! Here you like dis! Like dis1!".
Do men love sexy characters? Hell yeah! Do you want to be burried in Titties and asses all the time while playing a game? Not all the time.
It's just simply too much.
And for real honey..most men are not really afraid of strong women it's actually quite the opposite ...I thought you would know that.
Why because you say so? This is hardly resembling anything close to the truth, but there really is the an argument being shared here so this whole thing is pointless. Fact of the matter is Bayonetta is not 'butt fugly' but is no surprise called that way by men like you looking for the cheesecake you so crave.
***** i like how you question Grayfox's comente by replying "Why because you say so?" and then make a statement that goes in the lines of "No, it is because i say so, and i am bitchy about it."
Bayonetta is ridiculous. Simply. Not pretty, not sexy, not a feminine icon, she is just ludacrious. It is like they strapped Dante with a hair dress and huge legs and ass.
But i agree with you, this is pointless. Of course there are men (and specially women) who will worship her, and then there are people like me who simply doesn't get affected over the "oversexualized" theme that Bayonetta represents. it is just too ridiculous and in my modest opinion (note it is na opinion, even if you don't care), i find for example Miranda Keyes (Halo 2 and Halo 3) a far more stronger female character than most of the current days "strong female characters" (i am looking at you, Lara Croft), so there. I think Bayonetta just gives a slutty persona to women in general. But who am i to jugde? lol
Feels more like a video game that give me material to masturbate to, than anything else. "Female character not ashamed of her sexual identity" my ass, the oversexualized image seems completely unnecessary, and a way to cheaply catch fans.
Who knew that feminists only wanted women to be hypersexualised and used as advertising, and characterised as "libertine strong women"... but more.
that.....was the most COHERENT retelling of the game's plot I have EVER heard......EVER!
The friggin' game doesn't even explain itself nearly was well
CERap22 I must be the only person who found the plot easy to follow
3:20 wait that white isnt skin?? does that mean that he painted his face???
4:18 I love how Yahtzee put a picture of himself on the Japanese love pillow lol
04:18
then nintendo brings out bayonetta 2 jus to prove u wrong xD
3:18 That is persona 3. I died when the boss only had only a single dot on his hp bar left.
The game really does cater (ironically, to be fair) to the male gaze, and I've met a lot of guys who played the game for that fact alone, but the best player I've ever met was a lovely Australian woman who'd beaten the game about 16 times. Seriously, she flickered through the boss fights on the highest difficulty like the fucking flash.
To this day, I haven't met one person who even knows of Bayonetta because of some reason other than her tits.
***** Do yourself a favor, go find Yosheque. She's got an absolutely beautiful let's play of Bayonetta up on her channel.
If by "male gaze" you mean something designed to appeal to hetero dudes, then yes, Bayonetta's appearance was clearly designed with that audience in mind. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, just like how there's absolutely nothing wrong with those endless array of cheap romance novels you can find at supermarkets that have half-naked buff dudes on the cover that are clearly designed for hetero women. People need to stop talking about "male gaze" as if it's an inherently bad thing.
brightsuperstition I absolutely agree, but what IS a bad thing is that it's kind of one of the default settings, same with the trashy romance novels with the half naked buff dudes.
BJGvideos I did not know that and that is boss as fuck.
I found out about this guy a week ago and I have been watching all of his reviews since. He doesn't change, that's the best part.
3:30 Is that the Blog?
I dont see why people complain about QTEs but I do like different things. I look at QTEs as a minigame.
Devil May Cry with a female protagonist. Meaning - it's ridiculous yet fun.
Seizure warning.
Did anyone notice it's actually a picture of him on the 'Japanese love pillow'?
is that a picture of himself on he waifu pillow?
I think Yahtzee honestly doesn't hate Bayonetta, he's never been a fan of the JRPGs and Japan has it's own branch of video games that are distinct at times. I personally did find enjoyment in Bayonetta but I do agree with some of the things he said about it.
Either way it all just comes down to personal preference and such, so a good review on Bayonetta I believe.
I usually dig ZP reviews, but...I actually played Bayonetta. And honestly, the only part of the review I agreed with was the overt sexualization (which seemed to constitute about 73% of the tirade). I'll admit, it kicked my ass for the first few levels, but I fell in love with the combat system within the first 5 minutes of playing it. In fact, the game actually lets you fiddle around with blending basic combo strings and cancelling said combo strings during the tutorial level, allowing you to actually recreate many of the same feats seen in the cutscenes. -__-
The holy grail of spectacle fighters is to create a game that looks like a ten-hour long QTE cutscene but still manages to leave the player in full control of their actions.
i.e., the player should naturally want, and be able to perform cinematic-esque jumps, holds, and attacks, in an order unique to the type of enemy they're fighting and use the scenery to their full advantage;
and the camera should move as if it was shooting a film, and yet never be obtrusive to the player.
my favorite game of all time everybody.
beat it on nonstop infinite climax difficulty, hooray for me.
Sachiel Otaku With a name like that for a difficulty setting, it would be disappointing if it WASN'T mind-numbingly hard to beat.
Montesama314
its slightly harder then hard dificulty, but they also take away your perfect dodge slomo attack, which is basically your only defense against enemies such as grace and glory.
It's like the outro music hypnotizes you to click on another video.
Ok,wow, so I now have a lot of rebuttals to this that I never had before. Just call it looking out for a gem of a game that virtually no one knows about.
So first off, the reason why her legs are so long is actually for the gameplay. Kicks are a very common thing in the game, and so if her legs were short that means the hitbox would have to be short, and by then everything would play much more poorly.
Secondly, the PS3 version of Bayonetta is utter shit(or so I hear). It's a high-intensity hack n' slash game and the PS3 version not only doesn't play at 60fps, but rather plays UNDER 30fps at some moments. I played it on 360, and not only is it 60fps, but loading isn't really a problem.
The story is, as you may have figured from Yahtzee's review, is very unique and can be a little too much for some people. Luckily, you can skip most cutscenes(with the exception of the shitty QTEs, which are in cutscenes) so that you can get back into the action quickly.
The game has an AMAZINGLY well-made combat system, putting it up there with DMC4. Tons of different combos, different weapons, different outfits(yes you can unlock outfits for bayonetta). I recommend it to anyone who's interested in the hack n' slash genre.
Um you can install the game, the option is on the first screen.
They just gave you an option rather than force you, which they should be praised for.
The install option was added to the PS3 version in a patch after this review came out.
I'm not sorry to say I've beaten this game many times. XD I used to suck balls at it, and I still suck balls at it, but somewhere in the intervening years I went from hitting the buttons randomly to hitting buttons randomly with good results. Don't be fooled by the silly wrapping, *this game is hard*.
I almost expected Yahtzee commenting on how Bayonetta collects rings like Sonic.
She also does a spin move in order to run around at the speed of sound.
She's Bayo the HedgeWitch.
I'm asexual and I loved the game and the character.
And I'm gay and am so fucking hyped for the sequel I can barely contain it
AutumnCrusader Bayonetta's just god damn awesome, her looks just add to her character.
I'm sorry but what the Hell has that got to do with anything?
That's like me saying "I'm white and I love Indian food".
Which is true.
*****
The point is neither of us can be claimed as liking the game for sex appeal, as neither of us find such sex appeal of interest
AutumnCrusader There is not one game with a protagonist that doesn't have sex appeal oozing out of their ears, male or female.
Saying you like a game regardless of the sex appeal is just as bad as saying you like it sorely for that reason, because you felt the need to point it out.
Honestly I kind of forgotten the point I was thinking about somewhere around half an hour ago and are now just arguing for the sake of it, so feel free to ignore me whilst we all have some cake.
This may have been over a decade ago, but with the direction of games these days, I'm all here for the sex appeal! Even though I don't have the man bits for it
I disagree with everything except the QTE bullshit and the crazy long load times. Otherwise, it was a fantastic action game.
The PCMR sympathises not with your load times. Wait, you say you were supposed to practice moves on the load screen? I never even SAW that bit.
"I am a woman and i" *insert random text after stating gender*
_Over 100 Likes guaranteed._
Why is it that on Yahtzee's reviews whenever a comment states that it's typed by a woman it gets the highest number of Likes or upvotes or whatever you wanna call it?
Alex because were all nerds who want as much interaction with women who cant see us as possible
Leon gotget So they think liking a comment is considered interaction?
Alex
maybe
Goddamit!! that Luigi joke at the beginning gets me EVERY F****** TIME!!!!!
funny cause no one actually bothered to make a male pillow..
wait thats not funny, its annoying
i have to agree with yahtzee about the number of combos in bayonetta, each weapon has 20-30 combos
For anyone who thinks its weird for a witch to be sexy, witches actually used to represent temptation, unrestrained sexuality, and lust, so Bayonetta is actually pretty well characterized.
+Michael Kemel That profile picture perfectly fits your comment.
Thenextworldwar Thank you
GaijinGoombah actually did a video about the historical accuracy of witches in Bayonetta, and found it to be amazingly accurate.
"Mopey, solar-powered disco-balls". Brilliant XD
listen on 0.5 speed xDDD
Sounds like he's drunk lol
yeaaa :D
Really enjoyed him talking about his view of English sexual norm in the towns drunk fool voice... cooople ouf gruapes xD
What we need to do is find the one where he talks in an irish accent then slow it down.
I mean, he sounds hammered when you put it on 0.5 but imagine that.
+Axelieus Konzern #findirishyhatzee
I think that Pacman comparison is my favourite ZP moment!
he should have played the xbox 360 version ! He'd have liked the game more :D
After all these years, I realized the japanese love pillow is just the real life profile of Yahtzee.
This is why I hate "stylish" hack and slash games from Japan. They try so hard to combine style and substance but at the end of the day, you can't tell which is more asinine, the "style" or the "substance."
>implying its supposed to be taken serious on any level
I somewhat like them because they don't feel the need to be so dark and gritty that everything is washed brown and soaked in the blood of dead children.
***** Exactly. Bayonetta is in a similiar vain to Lolipop Chainsaw. You can take these games seriously and begin to question how rediculously over the top they are. ORRRRR you can actually enjoy the Michael Bayish over the top rediculous and have a fun time.
Nick Gustafson But that's the fucking greatest.
I find it funny that a Bayonetta 2 trailer came on before this video!
Now, bayonetta in real life would be a nice cool & girlfriend.
This coming from a straight guy who likes female protagonists in games.
Bayonetta would DESTROY you if you hit on her in real life, lol.
Regene McTornth
Ha! You are just jealous!
More like dry you out in 4 secs,. lol. Noone can handle her :D
***** Jealous of what? You do realize that Bayonetta is a fictional character, so she doesn't excist in real life. Even if she did, Regene McTornth is mentioning that she would destroy you, so he wouldn't want to sleep with her himself, since she would most likely destroy him as well. Unless he's just insulting you, but I'm fairly optimistic, so I'm going to say that he's not insulting you.
Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no. She is way to dominant for my taste. I think the overly-attached girlfriend gives more slack than her.
Bayonetta lives in a constant state of "Bitch, I'm fabulous."
Has anyone realized that Yahtzee doesn't like pretty much any game that requires skill to beat?
on the contrary it would seem he doesn't like games that DON'T require skill, like sonic, mario, the fps' of today.
MrMitop12 Mario takes skill to beat, okay okay it takes skill for special worlds if your talking about the more recent entries.
maybe if he played the special worlds he would've liked them.
MrMitop12 well I'm not defending the fact that Mario games HAVE been to easy recently but have you played the special worlds for Mario 3D World it's like something out of a Kaizo game! :D
he likes god of war what needs skill and it's difficulty is fair difficulty and not dickish like many other so called "skill" need it games
"You have listened for seven seconds longer than you said you would."
Why does this crack me up so much?
A immature overly sexualized game with a over zealous speedy pace giving you no time to learn the combat mechanics and a convoluted story with dmc concepts that pulls you in 20 directions at once meaning it lacks consistency and repeated boss fights makes ninja gaiden look like a fuckin work of art (speaking sarcastically)
And don't forget those fucked up unwanted qte scenarios that pop up randomly during intense boss fights giving up less than a second to react and losing in a qte scenario could almost kill you instantly..... this game is sooooo overrated
derrick hockaday and the button mashing omg I thought I was gonna push a hole through my controller Platinum Games did Metal Gear Rising a much better service than this overly thought out nightmare.... sorry fanboys I had to crush your illusions
MEEEPMEEEPMEEEPMEEEP Lol I just needed to fully get my point across because I hate those bloody drawn out comments lol
pokemaster361 I see I'll check them out one day thanks
I like Bayonetta. I also like The Wonderful 101. And anything made by Platinum so far really. But 101 is better.... UNITE MORPH!!!... What were we talking about?
That Fly me to the moon remix was great.
I find it odd that yahtzee didn't talk about how cruelly unforgiving this game is. DMC never penalized badly for using items and of course damage didn't matter. In this game everything penalizes you to the point of miserable frustration. I guess he just didn't care about the scores and just kept going.
I also have nearly straight gold and platinum awards. Experience being good or bad can be tied to adapting to the gameplay.
And because (at least my) L4D2 came with all the original maps/characters so a Spitter on No Mercy is perfectly legit
