    That sounds like the demo, which was misordered and had no cutscenes for context.

    But yeah, DMC is not a series you think hard about. You kill things and watch dudes kill dudes with cue balls in slow motion while eating pizza and surfing on still other dudes.

    If Bayonetta can provide 1/3rd the entertainment the opening sequence of DMC3 provided, I'll be happy.

    There is a mode called Non-Stop Infinite Climax.

    I'd say that's worth a 1/3 right there.

    I think the worst thing in this game (and it's only a problem the first time through) is that some of the cutscenes are just long and mostly boring conversations. Especially near the beginning of the game. You've just had a small taste of the game when the first level ends then it's bla bla bla bla bla, boring nonsense, bla bla bla bla.

    Otherwise the game is awesome. I just skip all cutscenes that involve people chatting about silly things.

    If you do that, you'll miss out all the ultra funny Cereza cuteness.

    oh come on, bayonetta is hideous no matter how you slice it

    that doesn't affect the game's quality in any way, and her appearance was obviously calculated

    but if you find bayonetta attractive then you may have to consider that your tastes are less "woman" and more "ostrich-slash-giraffe"

    You guys realize that she is not THAT tall? Cause she is as tall as Luka. You can see it in the cutscenes.
    And Rodin is taller than both of them. So either she lives in a world where EVERYONE is super tall compared to us,but she is normal to everyone else OR she is not all that tall.

    no, she's fucking huge

    she towers over the silhouette people you see in the city

    and it makes sense for rodin to be an intimidating dude, since he's not a normal person
    rather he's the fucking devil - the devil, not a devil

    bayonetta is stylized, yes, but anyone who calls her unattractive is perfectly justified in doing so, since she resembles a human being just enough to set off someone's "primal terror" alarms

    You are aware of how artists measure proportion by describing characters as "X heads tall", right? It's not about her height in an absolute sense, it's about the ratio of her head to the rest of her body.

    For example, when reading comics, normal people top out about 6 heads high. Superheroes can be as much as 7 or 8, while roly-poly characters (e.g. The Thing) can be as few as 4 heads high. Bayonetta is 11 heads high; [strike]it's not an example of a healthy human being[/strike] it's a super-humanly sexy proportion.

    Okay, after noticing the pattern, this is going to bug me. What were the "C" enemies supposed to be? The entire game introduces enemy models in alphabetical order. You have the three generic angels, all with A names, then the B giants, the D cherub heads, the E wheels, the F cats, and so on up to the Kinships. So why the gap for C? What got cut? Does anyone know?

    Bayonetta kicked the Alphabet's ass so hard that it can't get its letters straight.

    As for Bayonetta's appearance, really? Really? You see Marcus Fenix and all these stylized macho men but can't take the opposite gender being stylized? And would you rather have the anime look that seems to be what every fucking female character has (barring the absurd legs Bayonetta's proportions are somewhat sane and she doesn't have a giant bobble head and giant eyes).

    She’s like a stick insect with a big ass. Stylised.

    I’ve never understood the Gears of War argument. Those dudes look pretty damn freaky too. In fact, when I first played it I genuinely thought the designs were a joke about how gruff and over muscled videogame characters can be. I’d probably find them freakier if they had tiny, tiny heads and really long legs.

    I can't be the only person so A-type to worry this. It's such an obvious, complete pattern except for that one letter. What would it be? Caring? Compassion? Courage?

    As for the ravens, they get easier after level 5 when you can change into another form to move faster. Beyond that, it seems to be a matter of luck, pushing the button at exactly the right time, and possibly not starting the transformation until you're relatively close so you can use the initial burst of energy to your advantage.

    I have not seen anyone express that opinion. My criticism is that she has a tiny head in proportion to the rest of her body.

    I actually think she's adorable aside from that. The glasses-plus-mole-sexy-librarian thing isn't something you often see in heroines.

    That is correct.

    Real spoiler about Rodin.

    Rodin is a Lumen sage who was killed and dragged to hell. It's a decent curveball, and actually explains why he needs Halo's to revert back to his true form. Although I would have much rather had a fight with the devil
