I played it briefly, for the first time today. Bayonetta 2. Apart from the excellent graphics, it didn't seem that interesting. The action was so over the top and unfocused.

Try Bayonetta 1. 2 seems designed for people who enjoyed the first game and wanted more over-the-top boss fights. Bayo 1 is over-the-top at points too, but it's got a gameplay more similar to DMC where you're fighting a lot of mooks, platforming, and exploring.

It's Platinum games. If you don't like their style of gameplay it just isn't gonna click. Over the top is the point.

...What game are you playing? Aside from its frame rate, both games didn't really look that good IMO.

It has some of the most refined and overall best action gameplay. Platinum in general makes excellent action games, but Bayonetta is their premier franchise that most of their other games take a lot of cues from (Nier Automata can be thought of as having a dumbed down version of their Bayonetta gameplay for example, whereas Metal Gear Rising is more like a reworked version of Bayonetta with some different mechanics added).

I tend to call minor enemies that.

The combat is fantastic and the over the top nature is kind of the point. Not sure how you missed that.

Of course, I only spent an hour on it. I've barely seen any of it.

I was horrified when I saw Hideo Kojima's name come up in the credits. Fuck Hideo Kojima in general, right?

It's supposed to be over the top but it is far from unfocused.

He had nothing to do with that game.

I could've sworn I saw his name in the opening credits. A consultant on the cutscenes, or something (like Kojima knows anything about storytelling).

Might have been someone else named Kojima.
