How Bayonetta Ruined Modern Gaming

By John Lappin:
That is the sound of me trying to talk to someone while playing a game, not because I’m some illiterate fool, despite what you may think of this article, but because I’m playing a game. By game, I of course mean a videogame, but what is a videogame? That’s a stupid question to pose on a videogame site you might think, but I feel the idea of what a game is has become increasingly unclear in recent years, by which I mean perhaps the last ten or so.

In the last couple of weeks there has been some furore over Nintendo’s plans regarding people using footage of their games on sites like Youtube. ‘Let’s Play’ videos and the like appear to be under threat and the free advertising they may or may not provide, depending on your point of view, will be lost, at least for Nintendo games. I don’t know, or care, enough about the details of this to comment but the Let’s Play videos themselves are an interesting phenomenon. For those who don’t know, they’re essentially game footage with someone, usually a ‘personality’ very much of the inverted commas type, talking to you about the game as they play. I would be terrible at this, as outlined by my example above of me attempting to speak when playing a game.

I won't even read this shit , i played Bayonetta 1 on 360 and loved it . it's one of the best hack-slash games ...

CocoWolfie4115d ago

isnt bayonetta like one of the best games to come out of last gen? XD if it ruined modern gaming, then thank god it did, because id rather have bayonetta :')

Metallox4115d ago

An article titled "How Bayonetta ruined modern gaming (for me)" that barely talks about Bayonetta. How cute. Still, I get the point of it, and it's always nice getting games that are actually rewarding and require attention to succeed.

While the title comes off as flaimbate the actual article talks about how bayonetta reminded him what he enjoyed most about gaming and how big budget games don't do it for him as much. It's definitely not harsh ink on the game at all it's more of a compliment.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot473d ago (Edited 473d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP472d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot472d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Dying at 61 in Japan is too young.

Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad
