And I have to say... wow. It feel so... mundane. There are some parts I liked (the beast you can ride reminded me of the best parts of Golden Axe Beast Rider, so... err...) but otherwise, yeah.
One thing that impressed me about Bayonetta, was that I felt that she was such a complete character, as soon as I started playing. And the more I played, the more I saw how insanely developed her fighting and skills where. Dante once again feels like one of those "nerfed for the sake of a solid character at late game" deals.
Watching death beg for his... life(?) was so silly. I think that moment really had me wishing that I was playing a Castelvania... it was just so... forced.
Man, is your character small, too. So underwhelming! He looked just as small and bleh as the enemies you fight at the games onset.
Beatrice's presentation through the whole thing was so... it feels like they where just facinated that women have breast! "Look, we ripped her top! Just because. She's not bloody, or messed over, but we DID expose a boob!" Eesh. I felt more juvenile playing this demo than most things I've played recently, lol.
So... yeah. Feels very by-the-numbers, I liked some part, but I don't think it's in the same league as Darksiders or Bayonetta. Just personal opinion, not trying to offend anyone! I was just expecting to be so much more impressed, after reading some of the opinions in this very thread...
