Board 8 > Playing through Bayonetta for the first time

(+) Yeah! (+)

The action's fun, but am I supposed to actually be following this story/having it make sense? I can't tell if I missed something or if the story is just kinda sprinkled in to keep the action going. Don't think it's a bad thing if the latter, though, just wondering if I should be going "Uh, okay" so much or not.

It's pretty much this. The story is at least consistent if not always coherent, but it's really just there to keep awesome things happening.

What, like the flashbacks and people's motivations? It's not supposed to become clear until the end, I guess.

Okay, cool. I figured, but I kinda glossed over the intro and was wondering if I missed something important.

Loving everything else so far!

Bayonetta's the only game to match DMC3 in the action genre for me, glad you're enjoying it!
---

The story is pretty good actually, but it only starts coming together by the end. It's definitely not a deep thinking kinda game so don't worry about it.

I made this exact same topic years ago.

It's a story the almost makes more sense when you think of it from the villain's perspective.
