I've heard a lot of people talking about this game, and all of them seem to be excited about it. While I do understand that the folks at Platinum Games have some serious pedigree behind them (the creators have worked on games like Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Viewtiful Joe and Okami), everything about this title makes me go "Ugh...seriously?"
In case you have taste and haven't been following this game, here's a detailed list of why it's retarded. No, I haven't played it, but hey, this is the internet! Since when do you need to have facts to form an opinion online?
1. Bayonetta is a witch whose clothes are actually her own hair. You know what's sexy? Really, really hairy girls. That's why 1970's porn is still going strong today.
2. Said body hair is used as a weapon. Is this a remake of Kabuki Quantum Fighter? I suppose having full-body pubes is a great offensive ability.
3. She has four guns - one for each hand and foot. Because dual-wielding just wasn't ridiculous enough. You know those guitars that are like, double guitars?
4. Her guns are named Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. The only name for a weapon that's less intimidating than Rosemary? Impotence.
5. She has amnesia. Fuck you.
