A text review was not what I expected when I clicked this link.
Switched it to the video. I'm still avoiding footage like the plague.

They said there's a switch weapons button on the control screen when you started the demo.
You're admitting that you have no idea what combos do or what combos you're even performing, and you wonder where the depth is? Isn't it pretty obvious that there's a lot of depth in the combo system if that is the case?

I was admitting that the game didn't do a good enough job showing me that the combos overall are different enough to bother distinguishing between. I could keep pressing anything and beat the demo without breaking a sweat.
The demo's not the best example. The demo's made to be easy so that people who've never played the game before won't get frustrated by having no idea how to beat that one enemy.
That said, the combos should at least look different enough that you can tell the difference. If they didn't look that different in the demo, then maybe there were limitations to what combos you could use in it?
What exactly constitutes a .2 deduction?
Why not either round it up to 10 or down to 9.5? It just seems silly.
Sigh, couldn't have gotten those extra .2 points could they?
I give them some leeway, NO game has gotten a 10 on GT ever. This is the highest I've ever seen, less than 10 games have reached 9.8.
Not necessarily. You could have a combo system as complex as Bayonetta, but if there's no meaningful utility attached to them, then there isn't any depth. But not knowing what the combos do means you can't judge the depth anyway.
98what does Metacritic do with a 9.8 though? Just round it up to 10? Or down to 9 (that would be nonsense tbh)?

Saw this and thought I'd share if it hasn't already been posted.
Play the game and make Kamiya smile.
Bayo 2 is the 7th game to reach 9.8, there has never been a 9.9 or 10.0 on the site -_-
Apparently at one time Ghost recon advanced warfighter had a 9.9, but I see 8.8 on their review so maybe a typo.
So many Nintendo minuses it looks like.(subtractions to the score for no other reason than a game being exclusive to Nintendo hardware).
I can think of little other reason for all of these these 0.5s and 0.2s.
you cannot be serious
They didn't look different because too much was going on for me to notice them
I'm not seeing any difference between the attacks and there's a one button dodge. The only difficulty I can see with that is bullshit-level.
You're being a crazy person right now and should stop while people still think you might be jokingThis is actually theory I've been holding on to for a while now. This has been happening for years.
Games on Nintendo hardware just seem to get these small minus with no reasons given.

The key to success in Bayonetta is controlling space. To play the game well you need to manage your position relative to enemies and keep tabs on what you and the enemies are doing at all times. Your combos are a set of tools for dealing damage while changing the enemies' positions and status. All of your moves have specific functions. The fun of the combat system is playing with your set of tools to learn what they do, and then applying them creatively.Are there other weapons in the demo? They said nothing about it.
Sometimes enemies get launched in the air. Now I'm just button mashing an enemy in the air.
I have no idea what combos are doing that, or where my combos begin and end. Too much is going on at once for me to learn cause and effect. Am I supposed to see a drastic difference between "kick kick kick punch" and "kick kick kick kick punch"?
And I played it twice because I didn't see a need to play it a third time.

It did on the Xbox 360. The review on their page though only shows the PC version's score for some reason.
Where is my biogamer girl review???
This is actually theory I've been holding on to for a while now. This has been happening for years.
Games on Nintendo hardware just seem to get these small minus with no reasons given. Like they are not allowed to be given a perfect 10. 9.7, 9.9, but no 10. Seems to only occur with major reviewers like IGN, Gametrailers, Gamespot and so on. Just a theory.

But Gamespot gave a 10...
Gotynetta going for the kill. Can't fucking wait.

Is this game really that good? (serious question)
Given the (extremely) low profile of the WiiU and that Nintendo is actually publishing the game, it reeks of publisher money...
So many Nintendo minuses it looks like.(subtractions to the score for no other reason than a game being exclusive to Nintendo hardware).
I can think of little other reason for all of these these 0.5s and 0.2s. Yet a game with horrid a.i. and repeated hyper linear gameplay, not calling any names, gets perfect 10's just because it has a dramatic story from the same persons.
Isnt it an aggregate of all the points they give to each area? gameplay, story, graphics etc. Also a 9.8 fom GT is rarer than a 10 from most places. That is an incredible score.What exactly constitutes a .2 deduction?
Why not either round it up to 10 or down to 9.5? It just seems silly.
Wow, that'd be great!
