Euro PSN update, Dec. 3 – Bayonetta demo, Fight Night Round 4 DLC

Europe’s PSN update this week has a Bayonetta demo for you, along with the new DLC for Fight Night Round 4 that allows you to change your boxers – the fighters, not your undies.
OP: Dragon Rising’s new Skirmish Pack also releases today, adding extra multiplayer maps and FTE missions and there’s also five PS3 titles and five PSP titles at reduced prices for two weeks and the Uncharted motion comics.
LBP costumes are available to outfit your sackboy as Assassin’s Creed II hero Ezio Auditore, Santa, and there’s also the Festive Goodies Level Kit.
Head on over to the EU PS Blog for the full thing.

Why are people going so nuts over this damn game. You guys must be sexually depraved to be sweating a digital long legged tight round ass female version of Dante.
If this game scores higher than a 8 on most sites I will be surprised…..wait a sec no I won’t most sites gave Halo ODST a 9

EDGE gave Bayonetta a 10/10.
Apparently it shows Ninja Gaiden, DMC and God of War a thing or two about how to be an awesome action game.

There’s no doubt why they went with that character design as their main lead. The body type of the Bayonetta character is so rare that it stimulates the male brain with hyper interest I guess. How many women do you see walking around like that. I’ve only seen about 10 in my life time and yes they are fucking super HOT!
I guess it’s true, SEX sells

“EDGE gave Bayonetta a 10/10.

Yea it shows that playing an over the top action game with a long legged hot ass euro chic with guns attached to her high hills who spreads her legs in the air to kill enemies a great gaming experience.
I can see the back cover quote now.
Edge: A dick hard 10/10 action fest!

You could try reading some of the other reviews that are dotted around and see how much praise is being lavished on the game instead.

Sony and Sega are beavering away on a fix for PS3 Bayonetta.
Probably similar to the one that was released for the PS3 version of Ghostbusters.
I didn’t find a lot wrong with the Jap version of the demo I played on my PS3, so it’s still a day 1 purchase for me.

One that does next to nothing after promising plenty?

I especially like the way Eurogamer signed off their Bayonetta review
‘The result is a game that exemplifies so much of what commentators claim has died in the Japanese game industry. A blast of creative brilliance, both technically accomplished, strategically deep and infused with rare imagination, Bayonetta represents the pinnacle of its chosen niche.’
If that isn’t a WOW factor then you’re dead inside.

no I don’t care what sony and sega are doing I’m just spot lighting that the main character’s sex appeal is swaying all these sex deprived game reviewers minds. How come Nariko didn’t get this kind of treatment? That’s in the same league as the Devil May Cry’s,Ninja Gaiden’s,and God of war’s.

Probably because the game wasn’t quite as good.
I every much doubt that because a bunch of pixels have been arranged in the shape of a reasonably attaractive lady who gets naked when she kills things could make somebody rate it higher.
In fact, if I was a reviewer I’d rate a game down for that fact as it is kind of embarassing.
The game is fantastic, that’s why it’s getting rave ratings.
@Psycho
I never actually played Ghostbusters, but I was under the impression that the patch improved texture resolution and framrate?
If I am wrong I apologise, but I sincerely believe that if Sony is working with Sega to improve Bayonetta then it will be a patch worth waiting for indeed.

The game just feels like a newer version of DMC to me with a girl. It should be better considering DMC4 came out 2-3 years ago.

Well, that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it
)
(You’re wrong by the way
The combat is smoother, it looks nicer and it plays better.
I’ve played every DMC bar 2 and Bayonetta plays better than all of them.

Hell, I agree with you based solely on the demo. Or maybe you can only unlock the full beauty of the game with the full game/360 version. I don’t know, I’m not one to fawn over a videogame vixen and its gameplay didn’t seem to be better than DMC3′s (best in the series). I haven’t played the 360 version, so keep that in mind when I say the clock-tower level sounds to me like the (cut)scene in DMC3. What am I missing?

Ironically, the Japanese PS3 demo gave me a much better impression of Bayonetta than the European 360 version did, just because it has a much better selection of levels to give you a “feel” for the game.
Unquestionably more fluid on the 360 though.

the first DMC was the best game in the series, the third was good but way too cheap. DMC1 also had the coolest Devil Trigger.
you guys do realize this is a new IP, right? it had to have either the vixen or the violence.. and why is it okay to have a sex minigame and rivers of blood but not a sexy female protagonist? gameplay-wise it’s brilliant anyway, demo was the most fun hack n slash I’ve seen since the original DMC.

@DaMan
Thank you for pointing that out. Funny how I kept forgetting about ‘those’ minigames in the God of War games. I wonder if 3 will have one? Considering that Chains of Olympus didn’t?
Funny how it’s ok if a male is the lead protagonist.
Bayonetta is a wonderful slice of highly playable silliness. It’s fantastic and I for one can’t wait.
Here’s hopign that Sony and Sega get the fix out before the Euro version hits.

Your obsession with Bayonetta is worrying. The rest of us just think it’s going to be a silly OTT action game, you seem to be wishing for some sort of kinky sex game.
Maybe you need to go out there and meet a ladyfriend? Maybe you wont spend too much time thinking that anyone over the age of 15 cares about computer characters sexuality.

Wow.
Just wow.
So, if I like a game I just have to sit back and watch other people slag it off because if I try and defend it I’m blasted as an under sexed pervert?
TEA for instance thinks I’m going to rape someone dressed as Bayonetta.
Is it wrong of me to want to defend a game I think deserves some praise? Maybe if you read the reviews you see that I’m not the only one gushing over it.
Hunam thinks I’m some sort of loner who can’t get a girlfriend.
In fact I am on the verge of becomming a father, I have a good job, and my own house.
When did I say that a computer character’s sexuality mattered at all? I find it amazing that one person can say he thinks review scores are being swayed by a character dressed as a dominatrix that gets naked at the press of a button, then when someone defends the game and points towards a game that has a ‘sex mini-game’ with a male lead as a case in point, that guy gets lambasted.
I sincerely hope you guys grow up. I really do. As right now you are incapable of arguing any point without resorting to name calling or belittling people.
Come back and see me when you’re able to grow facial hair eh guys?
