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?!

The japanese do not have long legs, so of course all the characters have to have them.

Not so much japanese games so much it is most games not on the nintendo wii. Graphics are turning developers into morons.

I thought this one was rather fun. And an amusing commentary on modern action-game tropes to boot.

After watching the Review from Zero Punctuation and this comic, this game doens't sound too good for me.

Psh Bayonetta is a great game, such a deep combat system you rarely see in action games like GoW et al. Sure the story isn't up to much, but the game itself has clearly been put together with a lot of love. So many hidden secrets and details you just can't get with one playthrough.
Don't expect to get a good grade on your first playthrough if you ever play it again, that is. Shame, I thought this sort of game would be right up your street, looking at your artwork and previous HtP comics.

I got pissed off right about the moment where everything started taking away a quarter of my health with each cheap hit, often from the relative safety of outside of the screen.

Thanks for showing me that this game isn't worth my time. Some people had me thinking it might be at least worth renting until I finish it, but it really does sound shitty.

I love reading these "How to Play..." comics, but I've got to disagree with this one. I will admit that the Q.T.E's are unforgiving and kind of random, but I never had any trouble with the controls or anything.
This was still funny though lol

If they make an Anime out of it, then pls with the DMC Style.
Bayonetta is a bad Game, but when i look at her and some Moves, i think i am watching more a soft Hentai as a Video Game X3

Awww, I really liked this game. I usually agree with these "How to Play things," but where this one is concerned... Eh. I never had a problem with its controls or storyline or evading.

Bayonetta is awesome, come on, sheΒ΄s kinky, slutty and the gameplay is Epic, with thousands of Flashy moves and Weapons, how coult it be boring? And the battle system is intense.

Jack, you say this... and you're playing 360 games. Note Japan is the home of NINTENDO. Creator of some of the actual good games. And a bunch of weird ones that are pointless.

I didn't say all their games were good, I just said they made truly good games. Oh, and they know that the best market is the people looking for the games instead of trying to over-advertise. *COUGHCOUGHHaloDawnofWarallFirstPersonShootersfor360COUGHCOUGH*

FPS while not a genre I enjoy (in fact I only own Goldeneye and haven't played in years) are as popular and well-liked as they are because they get pretty clear publicitary campaigns slipped into the stuff their demographic like such as adult magazines, sport shows and testosterone-filled websites.
It's jrpg's and action games those that have seemed to forgot who their player base are and what we like, I don't want to see another GOW, that's what GOW is there in the first place, I don't want to see another DMC, or another Ninja Gaiden unless it's a secuel to the franchises, and it's pretty sickening and boring to see gaming companies coming out with clones with just aesthetical overhauls instead of even trying to add something a bit different (wich Darksiders tryed, for wich I like it).
Nintendo is awesome, but they need to remember why we like Donkey Kong is not because of stupid musical games and cameos, we want a new DKC. We don't like Zelda because we want to see convoluted stories, we just want to solve puzzles, raid temples, beat awesome bosses and save the princess.
