So why did critics give this game a pass even though they shit on every other fanservicey game? Is it just because it was a Nintendo exclusive?
>>
>>318316091
because it's fun
>>
its amazing
>>
>>318316091
Didn't you see Polygon's 6/10 its a great game but it offends me?
>>
>>318316091
they didn't if you consider polygon a critic
>>
they gave her a butch haircut and implied that she's bisexual
>>
Because it was a good game
>>
>>318316091
FLY ME TO THE MOON

whats the best way to grind for max halos?
>>
>>318316091
Because it's fucking amazing. The fanservice is just the cherry on top, not the meat and potatoes of this game, like it is with most "fanservicey" games.
>>
>>318316375
everyone´s a critic, but only very few are worth listening to.
Polygon never was and never will be, and not because of their Bayo2 review especially.
>>
>>318316493
The mech level with Gaze of Despair active and sustaining your combos with simple groundpound spam
>>
>>318316591
This. Don't even dare to compare Bayonetta to something like Senran Kagura or Neptunia, it's an actually good game that shines through gameplay.
>>
>>318316091
Nintendo's PR magic of having a lot of women saying it was an amazing game in all of their Bayo2 promotional videos.
They promoted Bayonetta as an empowered woman and everyone but one reviewer fell for it.
>>
>>318316591
They shat all over Lollipop Chainsaw though, not that it's as great as Bayonetta but it's a lot better than they gave it credit for. If they hated that game then Bayonetta 2 should have ended up with like 73% on Gamerankings.
>>
Probably because it was a well made, and polished game with great gameplay?
>>
>>318316091
A better question is, why does this game get a pass, while every other Nintendo exclusive gets censored to shit?
>>
>>318316840
Senran Kagura is a really good musou though
>>
>>318317413
Lollipop Chainsaw's gameplay was utter fucking trash, though. It deserves a tiny bit of credit for being an entertaining surrealist clusterfuck, but nothing more than that.
>>
>>318317614
No it doesnt
>>
>>318317550
what does any of that have to do with review scores?
>>
>>318317886
>No it doesn't

The intelligence of your average SK hater.
>>
Combat isn't as good as 1
>>
>>318317940
Good point.
>>
if you like bayo 2 you're most likely a huge scrub. the game is shit and so is platinum
>>
>>318318068
Maybe not, but it's not far behind, and the rest of the game is better.
>>
>>318319746
this is supposed to anger me? Come on, step it up
>>
yeh, they just a bunch of nintendo fanboys
>>
It wasn't the current year yet.

boy, you don't know anything

Because the gameplay is actually good. Most fanservice games just use shameless sexual to cover up the poor game design. Whereas Bayonetta has great gameplay and the sexual themes are way better handled. Bayonetta owns her sexuality, she is always in control and uses her sexual power to her advantage. She's basically a feminist hero, a strong independent woman who don't need no man. Polygon and Anita don't like her because they're puritan/sex-negative feminists who think sex is icky and demeaning.
>>
because the fanservice isnt good
imo at least. Its not very offensive if it aint attractive.
>>
What critics and what games are you referring to?
>>
>>318316091

because it came out before gamergate. Or at least before GG got really big. I can't remember exactly when that shit started.
>>
>>318317614

>musou
>really good

pffft hahahahahaha
>>
>>318321923
I imagine the backlash would have been worse if it came out after Gamergate
>>
not even trolling onechanbara z2 chaos is better
>>
>>318318068

You're right, combat in 1 is a 9.8 out of 10 and combat in 2 is a 9.7 out of 10.
>>
>>318322206
basically. There are a lot of ways to get it a .1 equal though, mostly due to switching characters and weapon selects. Playing with Jeane is about the same.
>>
>>318321923
It came out like a year ago, GG I think was summer of last year.
>>
>>318316091
Aside from all the faps I had to the first one, it was actually really fun and ended up being one of my favorite games of all time.

I don't have a wii-U and this is the only game i'd be bothered to play on it. Any word on a ps4/PC release or no?

That's a matter of debate.

Literally who, Wizardchan, and TFYC all happened mid to late August last year, then at the end of August and the start of September was when the Twitter fucktarding began, and it was mid September that Operation Disrespctful Nod, Vivian James, and e-celebs getting involved happened.

Bayonetta came out after these things, and I think you're entirely wrong. I think GG and Op:DN in particular are the exact reasons why so few people reviewed the game in the way Polygon did. Remember, GG didn't start any of the SJW shit, but came about in reaction to it.

I feel like such a fucking faggot for knowing and explaining this shit.

>>318320793
Most sexy beat em up games have good gameplay and strong, independent heroines. It's just that for every single other one ever made they've pulled out the 'IT'S JUST BUTTON MASHING' argument to justify their low scores. I'm just wondering what behind the scenes debauchery made Bayonetta immune to this.
>>
>>318322997
Never ever.

Just wait until the Wii U price drops to a reasonable point. Get W101 when it does too.

No they don't. Most beat em up games in general don't have good gameplay. This is what sets the likes of Bayo and DMC apart from stuff like Darksiders and Heavenly Sword.

Because the designer was a woman. A woman who told them to go fuck themselves and called them out on their hypocrisy when they implied internalized misogyny.
