Previous Experience With Bayonetta: None
What I Expect From Bayonetta: Long legs and long combos

Bayonetta is a game I would never play outside this topic. In fact, it will be my first "spectacle fighter." I've never played any Platinum game or any entry in the Devil May Cry franchise. I bought Metal Gear Rising: Revengence for around $5 because the senator at the end is funny to me, but never got around to playing it. It just doesn't seem interesting to me. I'm not entirely sure why. Most games I love have combat, but it's only one aspect out of many. I don't really like fighting games either, so maybe it's the major emphasis of combat that repels my interest.

And like her game itself, there's something about the character of Bayonetta that just doesn't compel me, though I only know her from Smash and by reputation. I can appreciate the sense of fun she has, but I haven't seen her show much emotional range beyond that, so maybe that's what it is. That's not to say she doesn't have such an emotional range, to be clear. I won't know that until I play the game.

Still, this isn't intended as a total dismissal of Bayonetta. It's totally possible that I'll love her game once I give it a shot. That would be a great affirmation of the value of this project.
