@MPSai: Hey, now, men in video games are *always* realistically proportioned! Their heads are never too small, their shoulders never too insanely wide. This is significant.
(I lie, of course. The outcry is amusing.) #bayonetta
"IMO, better than any of the DMC and God of War games, plus a little bit better than Ninja Gaiden II.
Bayonetta pretty much blends everything DMC, GoW, and NG does so well into one. Featuring NG's dial-a-combo mixed with DMC's freestyle combat - it makes battles more interesting. Witch Time is highly encouraged and satisfying to pull off - enemies going in slow motion and Bayonetta dishing out insane amount of combos is really fun to pull off.
Boss battles are incredibly over-the-top, stuff I've never seen in DMC, GoW, or NG. Bayonetta's summons (when a boss is in near-death state, you can Climax and summon them) are the epitome of "OMG WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!" kind of thing - she is just bad to the bone and her summons are just down right evil and fun to watch.
There are lots of optional challenges and things to unlock, so that's always fun. So far, a 9/10 game for me... would have been perfect if it wasn't for the PS3 bogging down the experience a tiny bit.
It's just too bad that the PS3 version isn't properly optimized, but if you can get the 360 version then you're in for a real treat."

@kNZA: no, she's as skinny as she was before. you can tell because the tummy is quite taught in both the before and after. it appears they made her skull larger and her hip bones smaller and straighter. you know, moved the slider closer to the 'man' side of physiology. telling no? #bayonetta
@outforprophets: hip width has little to do with thinness i.e. a lack of fat. she's thin in both shots, no question about it. very little fat in either pic and, proportionally, the same amount in each. she's always been thin, it's her bone structure that changed.
@tetracycloide: wow who said anything about hips? don't wanna talk about what the word thin means to each of us, just have a look at this gif I made with the 2 images posted. like I said, I think she is definitely less wide. Larger head, head moved, body pinched inwards a bit, which straightens out her legs, left arm less thick, etc. Link in case the image upload doesn't work:
She is quite disfigured. I don't think it was as apparent as it's become more recently, probably because of the over-exposure of this game. She looks like she was created by an amateur illustrator who worked exhaustively on the details, but didn't take into account the whole body, causing the whole body to not fit together properly.
I always figured she was just big boned. She probably lost a lot of weight after high school or something - nothin' wrong with that I suppose. When have you ever seen a big boned women as the main character in a video game? ...and why isn't there high demand for more of 'em?
@Twisk: I have no problem with big boned... But Bayonetta just doesn't follow basic anatomy.
I'll post it again: A human is 6-8 heads tall. This is something you learn in basic art/anatomy classes. Bayonetta is 11-12 heads tall. That's just freakishly out of proportion. #bayonetta
Has this notion of her head being too small ever gotten back to the developers? Maybe Kotaku can bring it up to them directly...if there is enough of an uproar they might add a DLC patch. #bayonetta
And this is why Bayonetta is the ugliest game character of all time: hideous body proportions, tiny ass head, and she has Superman's face and glasses. #bayonetta
it's TOTALLLLLY unreal...I mean Really...
Hey ,You know what ELSE I figured out not too long ago?...That dog..? That one dog...with the teenagers? In the van?...The one that hunts ghosts and is brown and stuff? Scooby Doo...? That one?
Well ..There is NO WAY that dog could talk man... Canine mouths are NOT shaped right so they could never really talk...!
It's Totaly BullPucky!...!
There is NO way having a head that small would let you aim your foot pistols very well at all....
F A K E ! #bayonetta
Never mind the fact that Bayonetta's exaggerated proportions are clearly not intended to be taken seriously. I think it's crazy the amount of hate this game has been receiving lately, and it hasn't even received local release yet!
@Mamba the Madvillain: They're memes, specific by site and stuff. Remember Bionic Commando? You couldn't get one single post about that game without "LOLHAWTDAWGS" #bayonetta

Look closely and check the picture linked below.
They reduced the distance from one side of her stomach to the other. That's what I meant by skinnier. #bayonetta

@Twisk: What's that one character's name in Fable 2 - Sister "Hammer" Hannah.
And then there's another one I saw, not a main character though... She's probably more just fat than big boned. #bayonetta

But if I had to try to explain it away, I'd say she was "big boned".
