Best official thread of the year for what is probably the best game of the year.

Considering the staggered release dates, it wouldn't surprise me at all for this to end up proving to be the best game of 2010 and 2009. As I said earlier, the demo alone was the best thing I played all year.

Next year looks great, but this year has been no slouch either.

That's a pretty crap attitude, I have to say. Bayonetta is a new IP. People are going to be entering this thread wondering what the game is all about. If you didn't want the responsibility of compiling a suitable array of information, you should have left the creation of the official thread to someone who wouldn't half ass it. I can only hope a mod will be good enough to edit your insultingly spare OP. Bayonetta deserves much better.
I'll edit in scans from the instruction manual asap. Character by character descriptions, plot synopsis, SEXY character art, ESRB rating, system specs, game credits, mini-tutorial and compelling control scheme information coming right up. Fuck. Yeah. Official threads are officially official.

your, and much of GAF's, obsession with instruction manual content never ceases to baffle me.

Which BB was it?

Edit: Duh, says on the receipt. Guess I know where I'll be going tomorrow!:D

It's the one on Morse Rd near Easton (since the receipt is a bit hard to read).

So why are you making official threads if you hate what they are? I agree with this guy, op sucks.

day one on the game for me.

I don't think you should include instruction manual content. I'm not sure where you got that idea. I think you should include links to the demo, the official blog, and the demo impressions and hype threads, which are already filled with videos, information, and discussion about the game. You might also add links to several of the combo videos on Youtube that showcase Bayonetta's combat system.
 
After reading the IGN PS3 review I don't think I'll be playing this now. For one, I prefer the PS3 controller more than the 360 when it comes to action games, and B. I still find it ridiculous that a company in this day and age cannot release a game that is equal on both systems when so many other companies have, and therefore it's hard for me to justify buying it.

Maybe I will one day if I find it in the clearance bin....

did everyone see IGN's review? xbox360 - 9.5 ps3 - 8.2

are difference THAT big of an issue??

i'd like to hear some more first hand opinions.

I've played the PS3 demo and thought it looked pretty bad. What kills the PS3 version the most is just how low resolution the textures look. The whole game looks completely washed out like the typical low budget PS2 ports were back in the day.

Perfect OT, Rez.

Pay no mind to the nerds who want a viral marketing mini-site for their Official Threads. The worst is when people post the controls of the game. Does anyone really want that? Do some people sit, staring at their computer screen, with a controller in their hand, practicing their skills in advance of the game's release?

ps2.. ps3, ps2?

wii bayonetta confirmed?
 
Why is it his responsibility to show the game to people? People can go find the Wikipedia entry themselves, since that's basically all official threads are, minus the 200mb of obnoxious images and viral marketing rhetoric.

Screenshots, videos, reviews, etc are not pieces of "instruction manual content".

Because he made the official thread? Why would you make an official thread if you hate official threads? It's an amusing pouty little statement to try to get attention and pats on the back.

The only thing I regret not including in the OP is a link to the demo, specifically the PS3 one. But as far as I know, that's impossible for the PS3?

Or maybe he just wanted to make a place for discussion, but didn't feel like dedicating more time to the thread than he'd spend playing the game it's for? If he didn't stop someone else from making it by calling it in advance (which he might of, I don't know) who cares?

Who cares? Op apparently, since the thread is clearly about him getting attention, not about the game. I don't care though, I'm only here to discuss a game that I'm greatly looking forward to. I just found the self wanking posts by the op to be amusing.

Official thread could have used some more love by the OP :) This is one of the poorest efforts, makes me wonder why he even created the official thread. I am sure someone else would have gladly put some more effort into it and included some screenshots and review scores.

Looking forward to playing it though!

Well, he did post the official thread a whole week before he was suppose to...

Shouldn't the word 'sexy' be in the thread title somewhere?

I thought it was two weeks.

Common misconception. FAQ forum states one week. The NSMBWii and Assassin's Creed II threads were posted two weeks before and were locked until the one week mark.

Game is basically out in the US and parts of Yurop now anyway, so now's a good a time as any other.
 
Well anyway, I'm just commenting on the view that official threads need to be gigantic and not the intentions behind the OP. If he did it to cockblock someone who wanted to make a humongous thread, that's a different story. I think big official threads are obnoxious, but I can't think of any real reason why someone should be prevented from doing it if that's how they want to spend their time.

Rez,

Seriously, don't let any of these idiots dissuade you from your course of action.

You are right, they are wrong.

That OP is finished, and doing even one little thing to it would be a travesty.

You want reviews, go to Metacritic. You want screenshots, GIS.

Morons.
