    What? No Figure?

    Sega! You Have Failed me for...... Ummm I've lost count, and I doubt this is the last time...

    Seriously though Sega, I adore figures with my Special Editions, and when I heard that at least one region's Special Edition might be coming with a figure, I was super excited....

    Or did they dump that idea entirely already, and the figures are just being sold separately? #bayonetta

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): I am sure some plastic figures freaks in Japan have already started making their own, and those Bayonettas will be in explicit poses that you can't even imagine ;) Too bad they don't have that for the JP edition...

    What should even be in a Bayonetta Special Edition? A gun replica? Concept art book with a cover immitating hair? The game isn't guaranteed to sell ALOT of copies, and it's not a franchise with a huge following, it's simply a game that might be successful and that's gotten high praise. This special edition is pretty damn good on its own. #bayonetta

    @Ashurahori: "Concept art book with a cover immitating hair?"

    That's certainly more inventive than "art book". It's like they aren't even trying anymore. Special editions aren't very special anymore, I'm afraid. But if you are a fan, go for it. I'm definitely getting the Mass Effect "limited" edition. #bayonetta

    @heretrix: @xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: Limited editions with ALOT of stuff are normally reserved for games which are bound to sell millions. Halo 3 and Modern Warfare can take the cost of making those. A game like Bayonetta, cannot. Sorry, guys. It's just cheaper that way. And I know that a key ring, or more songs on the OST CD would be good, but hey, look on the bright side. At least they're not just sticking it on a shiny case and moving along.

    90% of the time, I ALWAYS go for the normal editions. Why? Special editions not only take up space, but the trash that comes with them isn't worth it, and sometimes, the "special" boxes they come in look awful standing next to your other games. My Halo 3 metal box stands out like a sore thumb and the crappy disc placement means the discs are constantly in danger of getting scratched. When Bayonetta comes out, I'll be going for a normal edition. Anyone who doesn't go for alot of games and gives Bayonetta a SPECIALLY good look, might want some more stuff. #bayonetta

    I take it the soundtrack is basically Rodin's Selection? It was six tracks long, so that's just my guess. In any case, the folks over on the PlatinumBlog are clamoring for something awesome. We'll probably see something pretty neat thanks to the fan support the game has gotten on the boards.

    Given the sexual appeal of Bayonetta (to some) and their extreme marketing of it, I feel like this special edition should come with either a pair of Bayonetta spectacles or a "slightly used" panty. #bayonetta

    Boring at first when first tested, but ending result was one of the best games I've played in a LONG time.

    I don't care what people really say about Okami. We need more creative games like Okami.

    Besides Okami made me feel relaxed with the overall atmosphere. #okami

    You know, never reallly got into Okami that much.

    For that much, and I know i'm a broken record for it, but it's seriously like as if both Clover/Platinum Games and Capcom forgot they made God Hand, unless you count Mad World which had its subtle references. #okami

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: Be that as it may, that doesn't mean God Hand wasn't a fun game. It's right up there with Beyond Good n' Evil, and, for the first month or two, No More Heroes before people decided to be a bit open minded to 'out-there games.'

    No lie. It bombed. But honestly, out of all of the Clover games, God Hand was, and will be, the best PS2 game no one's ever played. #okami

    The final run was kinda boring too. I don't understand all the hype behind this game. It's an "ok" Zelda clone with a pretty art style and some interesting gameplay mechanics with the brushwork.

    On the other hand, the dialog is clumsy, the dungeons are boring, and the game overstays its welcome by about 10 hours.

    I know my opinion is unpopular, but this game got praised to death for me. #okami

    @naikou: It's strange. Okami and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon follow the same progression across Japan over the course of their respective storylines. As Okami headed north, it became a bit of a chore, while Mystical Ninja hit perhaps the most brilliant moment in the game as it headed into the frozen northern wastes. #okami

    Not that it's completely a bad thing. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the 35 hours I sank into it. #okami

    @jellotek: I did feel a bit like that at the very end (though there is a plot beat around there that gave me a tear in my eye). The last boss is a bit anticlimactic.

    I think my momentum for the game came from that first boss, the spider queen. That was probably one of my favorite boss fights of any game. Once you realize how the painting figures into the fight, it's one of those 'holy shit, this is cool' moments that I only get in 1 game out of 50 or so. #okami
