I dunno... that almost sounds like something that could be attributed to something like Vanquish as well.

And Rising. And Bayonetta 2 (took me less than 7 hours on hard, at least). Moral of the story is not to buy Platinum games at full price if you don't plan on wringing them dry through multiple playthroughs and exploring the extras*.
*Wonderful 101 might be the exception. That game is long as fuuuuuck

I think for many there has to at some point be a floor. 4-5 is, I think even for solid fans, at the very least a cause for a moment of pause. And thats if the levels have variety and its a deep combat.
Then again most games don't have TRANSFORMERS!

Damn it. Gamefly has failed me. Hopefully redbox comes through.

European Spanish ones as well, as we got the Latin American dub. Coincidentally, that's the favorite line of one of my friends.
Most games seem to have release date embargoes
Just keep expectations in check. There's some intriguing hype in here, you would think this is a big budget AAA game from Platinum according to some of the hype here in the thread.
This game should be on Korra's level, and Korra was decent.
This isn't Bayonetta x Vanquish = Transformers though.

Vanquish had phenomenal variety in its gameplay scenarios and environmental variety relative to its length.
Reused a few of the bosses, but always with a twist.
Reviews of character action games from scrubs playing on easy mode are kind of useless, though.

The game kinda reminds me of that PS2 game War of the Monsters https://youtu.be/eW1DAZbOuTk?t=319
It looks like it'll be a fun game.

This is true. But I think of most games I buy/bought at full price (hint: not that many) and the percentage of ones I finished I could count on one hand. If it's a tight 5-7 hour experience, I'd be much happier than a looser 15-20 hour game that I can never be arsed finishing.
And yeah, Transformers is a big factor, too.
It's a shame... if it were half the price at launch, I'm sure it would sell more than twice as many copies.
It kind of reminds me of that PS2 game, Transformers.

Is an OT coming up soon? I wanna see impressions as they come while I wallow in wondrous school work.

Despite it being published by Hacktivision, I have a lot of faith (and trust) in Platinum. They are one of the few companies who don't fuck over their player base with shitty DLC(well Anarchy Reigns and Bayonetta) or are misleading.
Damn this takes me back, its been so long since a game came with a sound test option.
Neither Bayonettas had DLC.

I think he's referring to the fact that Bayonetta was DLC in Anarchy Reigns.

Anarchy Reigns with Bayonetta I mean (should prof read more).

And I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they ever did. Can't get enough of it on the WiiU. If my controllers ever wear out I'm putting all the blame on the countless of hours I've put into Bayonetta 1 & 2 and W101.

I've actually managed to snag the PC version for around £17 so rather than waiting for reviews I'm gonna jump in asap anyway.
Seems my fears were right about this being more on the Korra side of things though it sounds like that might have had more location variety lol. Seems to at least be a bit longer than Korra for a first time through and sounds like it has better bosses rather than the same boss fight repeated except for the end fight (which was legit good).
Only thing I've not heard about has been enemy variety? What's it like? Same few basic blue decepticons that showed up in all the videos and screenshots throughout the game with a pallet swap variety at around halfway through just like Korra?

The more I see of this game, the more I can't ignore it around launch. Of the few videos I have seen, and a few samples of the soundtrack, I am not sure what can make me disappointed. I am aware of the time to finish a playthrough, but that is ok with me. Granted I can't but feel this game going on sale this holiday season.
