a game has to play and feel the same to be compared.
like infamous and prototype.
or prototype and crackdown.
or bayonetta and devil may cry 4.
the combat in god of war is completley different to the combat in bayonetta.
both use swords, both have magic BUT the speed of the game, the feel of the game is completley different.
im not saying bayonetta is a bad game, its not, its better than DMC4 and that was my favorite game of 08.
but what edge said is a load of utter CRAP! bayonetta in no way, shape, or form has better combat than GOW.
you cant compare the 2.
and even if you could GOW is still much much much more fun.
as i said before GOW attacks are widespread wreaking havoc in large areas to many enemies, bayonetta is much more fast paced and focused on 1 enemy.
GOW is like surgery with a chainsaw.
bayonetta is like surgery with a scalpel.
and ninja gaiden is like surgery with a high precision laser.
completley different games.

Good games must have different formulas in order to be good otherwise they are just clones of one of another. I have not played enough DMC to comment on it. I played a little bit of DMC1 and didn’t finish it; I played a little more of DMC 4 but didn’t make it to Dante’s half. I have however, played a lot of GOW 1 & 2 and I’ve played a lot of Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma/2, at high levels. I did play the Bayonetta Demo as well.

I judge a game by asking what does this game want to be and how good is it at being that. Ninja Gaiden wants you to be very skilled in order to beat it. It succeeds with flying colors. God of War wants to re-tell Greek mythology so that Kratos, not Aries, is the rightful God of War, it succeeds with flying colors. Bayonetta wants you to believe that Bayonetta is hot, and she is hot in a run-way fashion model type of way.

You can tell that there are a lot of combos in Bayonetta. However I agree that there are so many combos that you can mash you through the game, or at least through the demo. I’ve beaten the demo 2 or 3 times and I only know the combo that make her stomp down with the giant stiletto heel. I think its punch, punch, kick, kick. By the way, that move is not in the game by accident, nor is it is coincidence that that is the only combo I know. High-heeled shoes (on a woman) are hot.

While I probably will buy Bayonetta. It appears that it will be worse than God of War at telling a story and worse than Ninja Gaiden at producing fast and precise combat. But I suspect that Bayonetta doesn’t want to do either.

It looks like Bayonetta wants to use sex to sell. Bayonetta is always switching and licking loli-pops even in fights. There is a place for that, young men like a little bit of fan-service. Nor do they mind looking at women who have a physique so Ideal that it is impossible. Although when the girlfriend asks if you or other men like games like this, that is woman-speak for,……….. “I can never look as perfect as the cartoon-woman in that video game, neither can any other woman for that matter. Please tell me that you can see through that fantasy and prefer a real woman”…………….. If the character Bayonetta was a man and not a woman, she would never say anything.

okay name…lil big planet and crackdown obviously will be played by two very diffrent types of audiance….but its more than fair to say the people who will play gow will also be playing bayonetta and vise versa……what does it have to be exactly the same game b4 you will allowy a comparison in your world? thats like those people saying u cant compare gta 4 and saints row 2 cuz gta 4 went for a serious tone while saints was just trying to be silly….and yes you can compare something when it fits into a same catagory….other media outlets that have played the full game have already been said to have been blown away by it….stop the hate and be a real gamer and check it out…bet youll be kicking yourself for not defending a contender for goy 2010

While I respect every comment in this thread, people who dub these kinds of games: gay, boring and stale are just kidding themselves. Why bash on other games you have not even finished? Bayonetta Demo is just a little taste of the game, it does not even compare to the whole experience.

Once again: I love GOW, I will get it and have fun, but better graphics just does not make a game revolutionary, GOWIII feels almost the same as part I and II, and thats not bad cause’ its a heck of a formula, but Bayonetta innovates where Ninja Gaiden 2 and GOWIII just did not take it to the next level, or raise the bar for that matter. They went safe, steady or whatever you wanna call it.

You cannot compare games, each is unique, labels are stupid. But one thing is for sure DMC raised the bar on Action Games and its been like 8 or 9 years since anyone changed the formula, thats just the plain old truth man.

Please the combat in bayonetta is still just button mashing for most people. Some people who play god of war button mash while others learn all of kratos moves. Same goes for bayonetta, i just dont like the presentation of the game either. Maybe im just not a big anime fan and the whole game reminds of some sailor moon rip off lol. Its the most girly game ever and im really surprised at all these so called men praising the game over god of war. I mean what happened, did your balls drop off. Bayonetta, what a joke.

“Matt Said,
ok, to anyone who said GOW is a button masher
play it on the hardest mode, you will get raped in seconds if you try that
you need to be fast and smart to live”

Try DMC on normal mode. You will get raped faster.

@bowserone
so you can compare GT5 and burnout paradise since there both racing games?
you can compare gears 2 to killzone 2 since their both shooters?
you can compare little big planet and crackdown because there both platformers?
you can compare tomb raider and little big planet because there both platformers.
you can compare ratchet and clank to prototype because there both platformers?
you can compare WET and gears 2 because there both shooters?
i could go on for days.
just because a game is in the same genre to another does not mean you can compare them.
like darksiders, you cant compare that to GOW because that has a more RPG feel to it.
same goes for bayonetta and ninja gaiden or DMC.
you can compare DMC to bayonetta because they feel and play exactly the same, but you cant compare bayonetta to ninja gaiden because they feel and play exactly the same.
you cant compare apples to oranges just because their both a fruit.

Ok. You cant put all action games in one bag and just compare them.
while i think bayonetta is a good game, it basically a button masher. you have to compare it to another button masher. thats the reason people compare Darksiders and Dantes Inferno to GOW. am not saying it isnt more fun, more/less challenging, am just saying youre bases for compaing them are wrong. You cant compare Final Fantasy to Borderlands, can you? Even though one is faster paced, more action oriented that the other.
