Famitsu Oct 20 (Bayonetta Review O_O)
- Thread starter xfactor
- Start date
what! what! what!
what is this bayonetta thing? All I know is that the word appears in random topics here at neogaf.
40 out of 40? impressive, regardless of famitsu's credibility.
please tell me this isn't a FPS or some gta clone.
Is this game an epic adventure? man, I gotta do my reasearch.

Yeah, for sure. It's pretty obvious that you need to accompany that review with like a jar of salt or something. And no, Bayonetta might not be the greatest game of all time :lol
Are you sure this is real? Bayonetta does absolutely nothing for me and I usually love these kind of games. My opinion just comes from the aweful art direction though, so I guess that means nothing. It's just hard to imagine a game turning out that good when it looks so terribly uninspired.
Tekken 6 score seems low.

As the Japanese video game industry goes down, the number of Famitsu perfect scores for Japanese games go up. Its what I'd like to call the flailing-industry-discount for Famitsu's advertisment based review scores.

Last game to get it was Monster Hunter 3. Yeah.
And before that, Dragon Quest IX.
428: Shibuya was last December, and before that was MGS4 and SSBB. Bayonetta is the 6th game in two years to get a Famitsu 40, which means that half of Famitsu's perfect scores have come out in the last two years.

I actually said this out loud, in real life. The game looks good, but 40/40 good? Oh well, I don`t read famitsu for the articles, only for the pretty pictures. I`ll wait with everyone else for western press reviews.
And the Tekken 6 review may not be the 40/40 I want it to be, but it is probably just because it is the same thing they have seen in arcades for a while now with new bells and whistles. Not too surprising.

Wow @ bayonetta score :O
Any word on whether any of the reviewers mentioned differences between the 2 versions? Still trying to decide which one to buy :/

It's a Kamiya game. People are shocked that it's awesome?
I really enjoyed the action in the demo despite the fact that I was playing the shitty inferior PS3 version.
Unless they fix that shit for the Western release I'm definitely getting the 360 version.
It doesn't have online play anyway and leaderboards be damned.

Played the 360 demo yesterday and I'm sure Bayo deserves all the praise. Even the plot looks awesome.
Even the plot looks awesome.From video's and screens Bayonetta didn't appeal to me too much. Just seemed like yet another stylised DMC clone. Maybe I was overly pessimistic and pre-emptively critical? From this score it seems it could be quite special. I'll wait for more reliable reviews, ala GT, GiantBomb, IGN, 1UP etc.

Q1 2010 is all we know. Lots of SEGA games are region free though although I am not sure if that includes the Japanese versions.
The Japanese 360 Demo is in english also..
