Description
I'm starting to think that Japanese-made games have become very flashy to look at but are no longer fun to play.What the hell happened?!

>Cant do QTEs

OH NOES, HITTING A FEW BUTTONS IS TOO HARD FOR MY BRAIN TO HANDLE.
Anyway, Bayonetta is DMC: Tits.
I dont own the game, but I saw a few playthroughs.
Also, The majority of Japanese made games currently are garbage, but this is pretty good.
Is Bayonetta too DEEP for you?

Yahtzee recently said it was bad, and now this.
If the only two British-born superheroes I can think of are badmouthing it, perhaps I should just play DMC4 again?

Yahtzee says practically everything is bad, including games like BioShock basically just had the same complaints as this comic.
Although to his credit, Yahtzee actually mentions some of the good points too.
If you like DMC4, I'm very surprised you won't like this

Well, I'm not exactly *married* to DMC4. I played it once through for story's sake, replayed various missions that I thought were fun, and have been dutifully ignoring it ever since.
Probably should've just rented it or something.

Hehe, well fair enough I suppose! Still, give Bayonetta a rental, it's so over-the-top fun! Just don't play it for the story's sake

I suspect some form of sweary, tea-drinking Voltron made of hamster and awesome hat.
(Assuming either of them drinks tea. Hell, I drink tea, I don't see why they wouldn't. Tea kicks ass.)

I like some older JRPGs. Shining Force 2 and Skies of Arcadia are two of my fave games.
Nice combat systems and genuinely good stories.

I rather like how polar the reactions to this game are, as just reading the comments here shows. Personally I lad on the side that, at least thus far, has enjoyed the game, both the quirky design and the gameplay. QTE's are ALWAYS annoying, even the rewarding ones like GOW kills, and a mechanic that I won't miss whenever game designers finally get over them. While I mostly don't disagree with the separate arguments against the game you've presented here, it STILL comes across to me as an enjoyable gaming experience. And not even in the tissue-needing way.

Go play X-COM Enemy Unknown instead. Where QTEs exist only in the shape of AI related unit reactions to hidden movement phases. Back when games were games, really.

I totally agree, the game was just flashy. I got bored and irritated with the gameplay. Sometimes, it would be too easy, sometimes, it would make me so angry, it wasn't even fun to play anymore. Games are supposed to be fun, I understand making things hard so they are challenging, but when it's so irritating that you are not having fun? Bah D:
Also, Japanese games are really losing their charm, in my opinion. It's been a lot of the same thing.

to be honest a friend had it and after the intro cutscene i kinda just put the controller down and walked away, so is it good to play or should i wait for hollywood to make a movie?

It's still more challenging than any action game the US has come up with...

Hahaha! Nice one.
The actual combat is fun (especially when you start mixing your weapons up) but yes, the flaws do detract from the experience.
And them lollipops are probably some ladies' diet version. (the whole half a sandwich thing) They have to be! @_@

Games in general have become less fun. I have to say that its the fans fault mostly. We're alittle demanding of our game producers.
