   Now see… gameplay, sure. …but you and I have both agreed on numerous occasions that a main character and plot line can all but make or break a game. If I play it and I find myself wanting to stab myself in the eyes…I am not sure if I can use the excuse that pressing a mass of buttons to make pretty things happen is fun enough to compensate.

   You are asking a lot here…

   Can I ignore the ridiculousness of the main character? Maybe, if it is well done. Dante and Nero were over the top but they were Hilariously over the top to the point that they were awesome. Her head is freakishly small compared to the rest of her body and her moves involve odd manipulation of her hair.

   Also, what do I know of the plot from this video?

   There’s a little girl, that may or may not be bayonetta’s daughter. Some strange silver haired girl and a shiny piece of jewelry they’re fighting over. There isn’t a lot of substance there, but ..I could be wrong? Who knows, maybe I will play it and my opinion will change, but as of right now you are relying on the knowledge that this game is similar enough to Devil May Cry that it will be alright for it to stretch the bounds of what can be considered …A Good Game. Giving it a free pass to be full of nonesense in the hopes that it will be just like the DMC’s before it…

   Of course…

   There was Devil May Cry 2.

   By the way…I love ellipses.

     Only bits and pieces of the story have been revealed, because Bayonetta awakens from a 500 year sleep with some serious amnesia. From what I’ve seen there are (were) two rival witch clans at war and Bayonetta is the last of her clan. Also there’s some witch hunts going on, so she’s got that going for her too.

     Apparently the child IS hers, though her birth was forbidden or somewhat. Which may be what got Bayonetta thrown in a coma for half a millennium. She spends most of the demo killing the most disturbing looking angels imaginable.

     Just because she has a small head and acts like a stripper doesn’t offset the fact that she has pistols in her boots and can use fucking bazooka tonfas. In fact she can use TWO bazooka tonfas and strap ANOTHER TWO to her legs and rock out with FOUR GODDAMN BAZOOKAS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

     How are you not seeing how awesome that is?

   I already hate the ever loving crap out of Bayonetta herself, however, I am 95% sure I am going to love the hell out of this game.
