"A grating tone and gross aesthetic" are used as positives/reasons to purchase the game? I was pretty sure based on the trailers and previews that would be the case and now I know for certain that this one is not for me. I like my games "wacky" just fine but I do not want them all up-in-mah-fayce with their… Read more

I'm glad that you agree that there are good games under $15, but you said " Read more

Really? In the past generation of consoles, which finally brought the concept of budget/Indie DLC software to the masses and since the mass proliferation of services like Steam? I've seen TONS of great software launch at $15 (or less). Read more

Everything about this game looks like the videogame equivalent of Poochie. Literally everything about it and none of it in a good way.

Imported a subbed copy a few months ago, it's not bad, hits the bullet points of the first game and has some nice action sequences ... but it made me realize how important interacting with Bayonetta as a game is to the excitement created by the portrayal. In other words: it's not as fun as playing the game. Read more

Oh, thank god, because there's this giant, naked, several stories tall genital-less guy (that oddly enough has a very specific haircut) that keeps walking around and eating people in my town. Now I can get these and hopefully scare him off. Read more

Like so many have already stated, Bayonetta being compared to overdosing on candy is not just part of the appeal, it's ALL of the appeal. People who hold the first game in the highest reverence expect nothing less from its sequel and would probably be really bummed out if it turned out to be anything but: NON STOP… Read more

Yeah, hadn't thought about that, and those cards are out there now so they're probably investing their resources in keeping those blocked. Read more

Oh, dear lord the SP was a welcome refresh by Nintendo. That front-light made games like Metroid Fusion and Super Mario Advance 4 (Super Mario Bros 3) a dream to play back in the day. (And late in its lifespan the back-lit model was nice too.) Read more

*GRUMBLE GRUMBLE* I'll probably say "NO" until the thing comes out and I see one in person. I love my 3DSXL but I (like the rest of the universe) am a pretty big sucker for Nintendo refreshes ... I'll just need to check first if it works with the Supercard DSTwo (which Nintendo doesn't seem to be blocking much these… Read more

I'm a HUGE fan of the series but I'll not turn my nose up at the gamble of letting it fail as a "platform exclusive" with the hopes that Nintendo will loose interest in retaining/paying for future publishing rights and Platinum will find a way to re-jigger the title for current gen platforms to get around the… Read more

No doubt, and there's no shortage of the things. Read more

Of course you can't, not until somebody jailbreaks it. If sideloading things unhindered is what you're looking for, buy an OUYA or one of the umpteen Hong Kong Android TV boxes like the one you mentioned. Read more

Yeah yeah, I "get it" and I got it when I first saw them. Doesn't change the fact that they're nightmare-inducing likenesses. Read more

It's not that bad. Seriously, there are FAR worse action figure sculpts/molds out there right now. I'll just leave these here for y'all.

While I can't fault the amount of Platinum and Clover credit sequences here, omitting Bayonetta's "Let's Dance!" music video is a crime! Dancing angels all around!

Not sure about any other Playstation faithfuls who have experienced the entire evolution of the Dual Shock controller from the PS1 era onward, but as much as I think the DS4 is an excellent controller all around, I am NOT a fan of the concave analog sticks. I found my fingers immediately slipping off of them the first… Read more

Well, this is a shame. Thankfully there is no shortage of animated Lupin films that are very good. (Though the animated lot can also be guilty of having some real stinkers, so be careful what you watch there too). Also, the 1974 live action film is available on DVD and for what it's worth I really enjoyed that/thought… Read more

I completely agree with the sentiment at the core of the letter but I think a major hurdle to overcome is the lack of zero-tolerance "moderation" where hate-speech is concerned on the respective social and gaming platforms. There are too many opportunities to post in anonymity and in almost every case of "reporting"… Read more
