anytime i see a review point out that a game is hard, i get nervous. mainly because i consider myself to be below average at handling hard games, so if the REVIEWERS think it's difficult, then it's going to be VERY for me.
i played the demo and died at the robot boss man. (a little bit after he transformed) not sure how that section of the game compares to the rest, but im worried about wasting $60 on a 6 hour controller-throw-fest. gamefly?

I liked Bayonetta's combat system - was completely amazing - but was extremely off put by the rest of the package. Hated the art direction, hated the story, hated the absurd over sexualized Bayonetta herself. That was too much nerd tweaking for my tastes. I don't get a woody from polygons so it just basically turned me off.

Not having a lot of shiny unlockables doesn't invalidate Vanquish being replayable for score. This is like claiming a CAVE shoot em up has 'low replay value' because you don't unlock ton of extras. Completely silly logic.Net_Wrecker said:

1. that's a stupid statment because she is not real!FlashbladeGAF said:
2. There are some tech issues and some of the gameplay gets kind of boring it's still a good game but not great.

Bayonetta is a tough pill to swallow. I love it personally but apart from the gameplay and soundtrack I can see how it would turn some people away. :lol
I know the counter argument is "but it's a game so the gameplay is all that matters" and I agree which is why I love the game, so lower your weapons. But it is easy to understand why the story, characters, dialogue, and overall stupidity of everything can put a bad taste in someone's mouth.
That shit was hard for even me to take. I let it slide because the gameplay and bosses are just too damned awesome, but still.

Bayonetta is fuck awesome. I like it and Vanquish about the same, I think.
Other than Red Dead Redemption and Sin and Punishment 2, Bayonetta and Vanquish are the only games I find worthy of GOTY.

Video games are a visual medium if that part is lacking to you in a game I can see how it would be off putting. Heirarchy of games:brandonh83 said:
1.Gameplay
2.graphics/ art direction
3.story.
In 2 years, we got Bayonetta, Infinite Space, and Vanquish.

Has anyone heard or at least tried God Hard? I want to know what makes it so hard. Like what the conditions are.
As for Bayonetta, I think the game is absolutely brilliant. Amazing combat, batshit story and characters (which I loved), and just insane amounts of replay value.
As for all this talk about the sexuality in the game, it didn't bother me at all. In fact, the game was somewhat empowering. Having a character who's in control at all times, is the heroine, and actually takes advantage of her sex to combat enemies. Sure, it was over the top, but it worked well with the whole vibe of the game.
Also, the same people who complain about objectification and the treatment of women, don't say shit about GoW3. Several cases in the game where you're using women as objects. Quite literally in some instances.

I guess you missed the "x100" which meant I wasn't being totally serious with that statement.

The 20 rotations code is legit.ezekial45 said:
God Hard conditions are the following:
Enemy Health: Increased by .3 (Normal is 1.00, so GH is 1.30.)
Enemy Attacks: Increased by .5 (Normal is 1.00.)
Enemy Accuracy: Very Accurate (Normal is "Good", Hard is "Accurate".)
Player Recovery: Half Speed (Every other difficulty is "Normal".)
Boost Overheat: Normal (Same in every other difficulty.)
Active AR Mode Overheat: 2x (This means you overheat twice as fast. AR overheating is the same in every other difficulty.)
AR Mode Overheat: 4x (Don't suck.)
Item Drop: .5 (Normal is 1.00, Hard is the same as GH.)
Weapon Upgrade: None
Weapon Downgrade: None

Contrary to somewhat popular belief, Vanquish is not a difficult game to look good in. It is, however, challenging to master.jonnybryce said:
That's what I'm doing. I just want to get a feel for everything. Unfortunately, the leaderboards for the campaign only focus on score and not completion time. I guess that's what Challenge Mode is for, since the second demo recorded only time and nothing in regard to score.CaptYamato said:

And yet you did...
Most of the major gripes were on Bayo's personality and story.
Sorry I worded it wrong lol

Pre-ordered it ( two days in advance of the EU release, yay ), as I am a huge fan of Bayonetta ( as in, anything that is smooth and fast-paced ) and loved the demo of Vanquish. Can't wait to get my hands on the full game. 
I can see why Bayonetta's art-direction might put off some people, but I loved it in all its over-sexualized quirkiness.

Picked it up and played the first hour. Pretty cool but it does feel a little too small so far which is strange considering the epic scale otherwise depicted. Resolution seems lowish too. I like it more now than when I played the demo and I love the art direction of the environments. Totally my style.

Oh man. Just took a break a few minutes ago.
What a rush. I'm mad at myself for dieing a few times though.

So hard is unlocked from the getgo?
Is normal still a good challenge? How would you compare it to the normal --> hard --> infinite climax diff progression in Bayo? By default, I'd usually opt for hard right away, but if normal is a decent challenge, I might try it for the extra playthrough.
