The Queen is back with a bang. Like there was any doubt.
Legitimately wasn't expecting scores like this without Kamiya directing, but Platinum just has talent to spare.
The Queen is back with a bang. Like there was any doubt.
Based on what I've seen of Bayonetta 1, Gies' devaluing of Bayonetta is likely pretty disingenuous. It should be obvious from playing, that she isn't a character who is exploited, she is exploiting herself. If anything, seeing Bayonetta I imagine would empower women, and hopefully also show them that sexuality is not something to be ashamed of. In fact it can be fun, and that they can be in power and charge of themselves.
if anything, this likely just highlights Gies' own sexual immaturity, perhaps his lack of actual contact and understanding of women more than it does show Bayonetta as a sexist character.
The same thing happened with Bayonetta 1, you saw a lot of guys trying to white knight and hate on the game because of that aspect, while the reviews from women seemed to see them come away realizing Bayonetta is more than just a sex symbol, and that she wasn't just a cheap, exploited woman like she may have seemed from glimpsing trailers and fan art.
Bayonetta tutame
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.
How possible?
Does this game 1080p?
How many FPS?
Does it even realistic lighting model?
What AA, FA and occlusion model?
Can weather model and skybox accurately represent passing of all four seasons over a five minute period???
HOW POSSIBLE?
I'm on a tablet, comment section won't load; I suppose it's countless "pls bring this game to other platforms" posts?Ugh, reading the comments under the Gamespot-review just gave me a headache.. is it always like that over there, damn...
Nice scores! shame the game will sell like shit tho, if only Sony had given PG the chance...
I just love conspiracies.I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.
How possible? Because it feels amazing to play.
Does this game 1080p? Doesn't matter
How many FPS? 30 for cutscenes, 40-60 for gameplay
Does it even realistic lighting model? This also matters not.
What AA, FA and occlusion model? I'm going with none on this
Can weather model and skybox accurately represent passing of all four seasons over a five minute period??? If it can't, who cares?
HOW POSSIBLE? Because it feels fucking amazing to play.

That Polygon review is a sad display of boneheaded puritanism. Way to completely miss the point of Bayonetta's character.
Bayonetta is all about power and poise and confidence. The way she exults in her sexuality and wields it as a weapon is entirely consistent with her persona. She's never ever reduced to a sexual ornament for male characters or the audience. She claims equal standing with, or flat out dominates, every man she meets. She's isn't the damsel in distress who waits for the studly hero to sweep her off her feet and save the day. She pulls her own weight and takes care of her friends. Bayonetta is the superhero everyone else relies on. Her sexuality is self-gratifying and intimidating, not inviting, and that's one of the core strengths of her character.
It's worth mentioning that Bayonetta's designer is a woman who took inspiration for Bayonetta's extended proportions from fashion illustrations, whose figures are tall and elegant to emphasize physical grace rather than sexuality. If Bayonetta was supposed to pander to a straight male audience, where are the balloon tits and other stereotypical features of the woman-shaped background props that countless games employ for no other reason than cheap sex appeal? Why the bizzare spider-like limbs and long neck, exaggerated qualities that enhance her acrobatic movements and statuesque poses while she fights? Her design complements her actions, which complement her personality, which complements both.
Bayonetta is a fully realized character, possibly the only self-actualized female protagonist in complete control of her sexuality that the entire medium has to offer. Shame on Arthur Gies for misrepresenting Platinum's great work and failing to celebrate such a progressive character. Shame on Polygon.
Bayonetta is is a must buy for any action gaming fans. It's fast, intense and ridiculous, all with an entertaining story and a protagonist that is forever subverting and playing with her audience. It's pure Platinum Games, too, which means it'll likely be adored by its converts and ignored by too many we hope that won't happen, as what we have here is one of the Wii U's best games, and a rare arrival on the system that's unashamedly violent, gory and mature, while still mischievously winking at the watching world. Bayonetta 2 is brilliant, brash and impossible to ignore.
More like if only Sega had not been fucks. Its fine though, because Bayonetta somewhere is better than Bayonetta nowhere
wow guise is this really happening
wow
so much hype
not since casuls of war and Ninja Gaiden Black for Japanese devs since a character action game has received a meta in the 90s
hypeeeeeee

I already know that women can do all the same things men can. This time, I get to see a woman do plenty of things men can't. And I love it.
Reviewers can't win. If they give a great score it's evidence of corruption and/or fanboyism, if they give a game people are hyped about a low score it's evidence of clickbait, that they didn't play the game properly, that reviews don't matter etc. And for most people commenting like that, anything under a 9/10 is a low score. Lose-lose situation.

Seeing all those high scores makes me so damn happy, not that I ever doubted the game or anything.
I've answered your questions
Never really got the Bayonetta is sexist comments. Thought Leigh Alexander was spot on for once.

This game makes the whole 60fps 1080p debate on PS4/X1 consoles look ridiculous (which it is).

what is Bayo2 running at?
Honestly, it's just a part of the job. You get used to it for the most part, though occasionally it boils over some times.
But really folks, if you dislike the Polygon review, the best thing you can do is not talk about it after you read it. When you do talk about it, it gets others to read it, which counts as more readers.
Read the stuff you like, ignore the stuff you don't, find reviewers who you can trust.

Well deserved. I hope this burns Bungie.
Excellent! Wii U seems like it finally has an absolute must have game!.
I know, I just couldn't resist, it was a great post and I wanted to try and contribute more to it.
