    Just want to say one thing: FUCK BAYONETTA. Fuck that soulless, overhyped, committee-produced, focus-tested, thoroughly market-researched bolus of teenager-ballbait right into the next dimension! That is all.

    Anybody mind if I hop on the Bayonetta bandwagon?
    I have hair down to my arse and nobody would think that it would be a good idea for a semi-nekkid version of me to be included in their game, I’ll just let that mental image sink in there for a moment.
    I just wish the industry would grow the fuck up,everybody is clamouring for games to be recognised as “art” but we are still catering to the lowest possible geek denominator or boobs and blood. Now I am not opposed to “boobs and blood” (although preferably not together) and I’m not opposed to silly, gory games but I just wish that we had a small fraction of the games that dealt with real adult themes like sex without going for the “HUH-HUH TITS!” approach.
    I’ve been playing games for over thirty years, by now we should have at least one serious artistic game with a story that ranks alongside that of a classic novel or film.
    Perhaps I am just old and grumpy and I’m the only person who feels like this, it certainly seems that way looking at the games charts.

    Well OOookkkayy then.
    Nobody except Mr. George would would think that it would be a good idea for a semi-nekkid version of me to be included in their game.
    Although now I think about it, it might be rather amusing after a certain nudity level is reached the character model was replaced by mine.
    “Fwap fwap fwap! OHGODIT’SANOLDFATNEKKIDGEEK! Argh!”
    That might teach the oversexed little teenage bastards not to buy a game that prides itself on the fact you can play it one handed.

    I actually enjoy these effect-laden third-person monster killers.

    I’m replaying Devil May Cry 4 right now, actually. I especially enjoy giant boss battles.

    However if anyone thinks I’m paying full price for a single-player game, no matter how good then they’re nuts.

    The only think I’ll pick up on the release date is a multi-player game because otherwise you miss out on the community at its peak.

    …

    Then again, I picked up Ninja Gaiden 2 on the release date…okay, maybe I’m just full of crap.

    Dammit, when will there be a new MDK?

    As for Bayonetta being market-researched…

    Ted Rex is probably right but if wants art and alternative perspectives from his games then I suggest he look into home-brew PC games or something.

    Dammit if I’m going to invest in a multi-hundred thousand dollar game production I’m damn well going to make sure there’s a large enough audience out there.

    Alright, alright, after playing the demo, I concede that I had a good time. But dammit, all the damn hype and the “girl power” shit around it still pisses me off. Can’t the game be sold on the action itself, and not some silly character who slaughters demons and then blows kisses attracts butterflies?

    The demo reminded me why i don’t like that sort of game.
