While the game seems good and entertaining to play with its 'parry' system, I couldn't help myself comparing it to Bayonetta and its demo.
Back then in 2010 I remember playing it over and over again, discovering something new everytime, thinking : 'What if I press this button longer at this moment ?' or 'What if I go backward from there?' or 'It'd be so cool if she could do this!'... and of course she'd always do it. The couple taunts with each weapons, the hidden challenges, cutting the screen in half with a sword, spanking monsters while in the middle of a combo...every move resulting was fresh and stylish, so I kept playing it for hours with a smile on my face looking forward to the full game.
The thing is, I tried to play MGR the same way : I backwarded nothing happened, I tried holding the stick smoothly for some kind of stylish walk but couldn't, etc...There were no gifts, nothing 'extra' : just a shitty storyline, shitty secondary characters but a charismatic Raiden and a solid Platinum gameplay.
Some kind of tasty vanilla cake while Bayo had the chocolate shards, the strawberry cream and the cherry on the top of it.
I'll still play it someday, unlike all the other beat'em all and even action games that IMO turned dull boring and useless in comparison (shoutouts to DMC and Lollipop Chainsaw).
So I started wishing for a Bayo DLC, and sketching around to imagine what she'd look like. Actually I wish she was a DLC in every game <3
Btw this new partnership with Nintendo makes me have wet dreams at night where i see her in games like MarioKart, SmashBros, or even Zelda...
WHY NOT >3< ?
