Oh shit. Thanks for quoting that. I'm calling to see if they still have it on 360 today.Dartastic said:Goddamnit. I'm in San Fran. Anyone have any luck here? Maybe I'll get the Elk Grove one to call the SF one... :lol

Kintaro said:My store got their copies in (street dated). 3 for 360, 3 for PS3. Darksiders? 10 for both platforms.
I wonder if Bayonetta will even outsell Darksiders in the US. =x

Dahbomb said:This is hardly a surprise... as superficial as it is for a game of this caliber, having a bad ass male protagonist for Bayonetta instead of a female would've resulted in higher sales.
A lot of these types of games for gamers is an escapism into being a bad ass and slay epic demons/monsters with general bad assery. This is the secret of the success of God of War. It is therapeutic but in order for that to happen the player has to WANT to be like the main character. People want to wield godly powers and be an anti-hero while killing demons to save the world. When the genre appeals to the male demographic the most it only makes sense that they will relate less to a female protagonist.
Don't get me wrong, I am getting Bayonetta Day 0 (pre-ordered) but I could never really relate to Bayonetta nor would I ever want to be like her nor would I like to have a girl friend with the same "qualities" as her. This is going to be like that for many other people so I would tell you guys to brace for it now.

YES!

Ease up. The guy you're quoting is on your side. If you read into the context, you'd understand that there was a discussion about how some people (someone mentioned preorder cancellations at their local Gamestop after dudebro's saw a commercial for the game) might be turned off by Bayonetta and see it as a threat to their masculinity.TheCardPlayer said:Posts like this are fucking retarded. My characters in Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Dragon Age are female. My main in Street Fighter IV is female. I play as Zoey and Rochelle in L4D. I play as Lilith in Borderlands.
Games are escapism, you're right. So if I can play as a female, why not do it? I'm not my characters in game. I make them move with a controller. When I play DMC, I'm not Dante. Dante is Dante. Bayonetta is Bayonetta.
And shit, I love my 80s manly movies as much as the next guy if not more, in fact. But seriously, that line of thinking is fucking miserable.

Sorry if this has been asked before but, is the ps3 demo a good representation of how the final game works in terms of framerate and slowdown? Because as far as I´ve seen it plays totally fine but in the ign review they complain a lot about it. Maybe it´s just on the later levels when things might get much busier, I don´t know.

Dabookerman said:How big is the "Art" book? Like how many pages? Is it all just renders?
Whoompthereitis said:I thought the PS3 demo was fine until I played the 360. I'm sure you'll be fine with it as long as you don't compare the two. From what I understand, the demo is pretty indicitive of how the final game performs.
If you have a choice however, go 360.

Dave1988 said:Actually, it isn't. The retail version is plagued by loadings as an added bonus to the aready shitty framerate.
Platinum have only have Bayonetta and MadWorld under their belts. Sega seems pretty erratic with PC ports. Hopefully Sega has learned a thing or two from their buddies over at Capcom.bytesized said:Oh, that´s true, in the video review they mentioned really stupid loading interruptions, I forgot. I think I will wait since I have a pretty ridiculous backlog right now. Is it likely a PC port further down the road? Does Sega or Platinum have a history for this?
grindamasta said:30 pages. Yup, 99% renders (characters, weapons, enemies...) and 2 or 3 sketches.
Awesome
Do you reckon you could do a quick video of you flicking through the art book please <;o? If it's not too much trouble.
Whoompthereitis said:Oh man...
For some reason my twisted brain read that as 'Do you reckon you could do a quick video of you fucking the art book please?'
Now that I think of it, that wouldn't be the strangest thing I've read on GAF...
I was merely trying to rationalize the cancellation of pre-orders of this game on the previous page and what was their thinking behind it. Also the games that you mentioned, most if not all of those games have a MALE character on the cover as well as having a mostly a male oriented advertisement campaign.TheCardPlayer said:Posts like this are fucking retarded.
