Yeah because Call of Duty definitely isn't the most popular game in existence now.

Do you get up in the morning and have a conference call with a mental institution on what stupid shit you're going to post on zoklet the following week?

COD being the most popular = SOTC isn't popular / I'm wrong about it not translating well for popular cinema.

SotC is about five years older than Bayonetta, which by your standards and the only basis you have would make it the inferior game.

what I've played of Bayonetta wasn't bad. but as to which one is better than the other doesn't make any difference because they're two totally different things. there are plenty of games better than SotC. I'm not saying it's the greatest game of all time and that's what you fail to realize.

What I am saying is that if you don't like it, it's because you're incapable of seeing it for what it is and it therefore went way over your head.

and in that case: 'boo-hoo' (that makes two), motherfucker.

Wrong. A story that would confuse the creators of Neon Genesis Evangelion, terrible, terrible controls, bad camera controls, bad graphics, and extremely linear and repetitive game-play made it bad.


Please tell me, what went over my head? Because I'm failing to see it - it takes a little bit more than the cheap emotional con of an underdog story to get my emotional juices flowing. Maybe I'm just jaded that way.


Bayonetta and SoTC are very similar in that they both feature giant monsters which you must climb various parts of in order to kill, they both had extremely esoteric plot lines, and they both had linear plot-development.


My point is that this game is one of those things that only appeals to the pretentious because they can go "well you just didn't get it! nyahhh!" and inflate their sense of superiority.
