Why is this game so popular?

[Spites]

It's very much an uninspired version of devil may cry/god of war/new (and awful) castlevanias but with boobs. Am I missing something?

It's a Sexy Librarian thing.

Don't ask.

TBH, out of that list, God of War and Dante's Inferno are pretty much as shallow as you get, even most of the PS1 era games had more creativity and style than those.

Altho the new castlevania's are also pretty lame.

People like Bayonetta because of humor and characters (or at least i do), thats pretty much it.

Well, it's sexy, silly, ludecrous and - important for many people - actually quite hardcore.

And Gungrave! You for got that one.

Seriously though. Seems like games the last couple of generations take some elements from each other. Especially in the action/hack and slash genre.

There is probably a progression of some sort in terms of the development and character designs female protagonists and the like (Tomb Raider) etc. As for why it's so popular, anyone's guess. Honestly not sure it really is all that popular.

I know personally I really dig the the special attacks, and over-the-top violence. It's PG doing what they do best. I suppose it's at least earned a place in the cult classic section of gaming.

it's a fun video game

why is the sky blue???

[nenet]

Trying to imagine something more uninspiring than god of war is very difficult and painful thing

[*^SaoSin^*]

I played God of War on PSP,
I played Devil May Cry 3 and 4 on PC,
I played Killer is Dead on PC,

And noone of these things stand a chance against Bayonetta, in any way.
It works perfectly on top of that keyboard and mouse this port is God Like for me.

DMC is alright, Bayonetta took a few pointers from it.

I still think both of them would benefit more from having more actual projectiles (both sent by you and the enemy).

Well the reason why Bayonetta is inspired by devil may cry is that both games are directed by the same person.
Also its a game with deep combat mechanics and many combos. and yeah it can also be a pretty hard game (if u dont use potions all the time and dont want to get a lame rank.)

[Cat Daddy]

eerr coz its AMAZING

[VonAntero]

The combat system is complex, the game is over the top silly and fun.
The arcady and japanese style might put some people off, but it has it charm.

lol, ok each to there own. but ok tbh i didnt like devil may cry much at all. Bayonetta however has amazing boss fights great action fighting mechanics that reward players that take the time to learn all the moves and play up to infinite climax. Thats when the games combat really feels rewarding and makes you feel like a badass sexy ♥♥♥♥♥ lol.
Then there the girl herself who is overly sexy and fighting for fun. The comedy is gold , the music is fantastic. There a tone of unlocks and costumes. Whats not to like?

You like bayonetta's combat... yet you don't like devil may cry, where it got its inspiration. Dude, what?

[puppet74]
