Bayonetta Review--I'd hardly call 'em spoilers but if you're really sensitive you've been warned.

[aisuyoukai]

It finally went too far. If you look hard enough--or not even if you simply know the other game--you can definitely tell that the director for Bayonetta is the same as Devil May Cry. The annoying little weasel of a fellow who is an informant is Enzo. The guy who writes the journals you pick is named Antonio Redgrave. Bayonetta just used the line "flock off feather-face."

Enzo? Dante's informant and gig-hunter in both the original novel and manga. Antonio Redgrave? Obviously a play of the name "Tony Redgrave" aka "Anthony Redgrave" which is Dante's alias in, only, like, everything. Flock off? Direct quote from the first game that Dante says to Griffon. (And if I'm wrong about that than it is DEFINITELY the name of the battle theme during Griffon's fights. It's one of my favorite songs on the OST.)

I am just so amused and yet... all it is doing is making me want to play DMC instead. Ffffft.


Tori. D is grinning mischievously. Watch out for all hell breaking loose, Tony. :|


I think I'm a third or almost half way finished with it. At this rate I highly doubt I will buy it--but I do recommend it to my friends who like games like DMC! (This means you Tori and Teagan.) It's pretty nice and I like the battle system. There is a button for shooting, a button for punch/arm attacks, and a button for kicks/leg/secondary attacks. Holding down either of the melee attack buttons will cause her to stop comboing and fire her guns to break the current combo. On top of that her Dodge Offset move allows you to dodge and then immediately return to the combo you were just in the middle of. Plus Witch-Time is pretty fun to initiate, as well as her Wicked Weave and Torture Attacks. They're fun to watch, haha.

As far as the story goes... it seems decent. There's more cutscenes than I was expecting--not a bad thing. I like Luka. He seems like your kind of character Tori. >X] He's like taking Ezio, making him a journalist, and then hilariously clumsy when it comes to wooing girls. Which was really funny because he was epic and then he suddenly stops when he spots this girl and starts flirting with her, and then is STILL epic when he's dodging while talking to her... but as soon as he goes to leave he runs into something behind him and trips and falls--but makes up for it in grabbing one of the flowers off the something and coming back up with it to throw to her! XDD ...yeah. so. yeah. He's totally worth it. XD

Okay. My only true spoiler for the game, seriously. I'm done.

... Tony does not look amused at the thought of D's mischievous grin. :|

Also this Luka fellow seems like someone I'd like already! He almost sounds like Kuhn from the .hack//GU games, though I don't think you've played those. He was kind of a failure at flirting with girls too. But yeah, I have to agree with your assessment, I think I'd like this Luka fellow~ ... he also looks pretty hilarious in looks alone (since I just looked up a picture of him). THAT SCARF DOES NOT MATCH, DUDE.

I wish we still had a Blockbuster around here so I could see about renting it. I'll have to find another place, I guess.

Also SO THAT'S WHERE ANTONIO REDGRAVE CAME FROM. You never told me so I was wondering, pffft.

He shouldn't. He really really shouldn't. :\

I really think you would, too. Hehe. He's not bad. He really looked like an Assassin when he was running at the beginning--he had the town's required vestments on at the time with white robes and hood and all. Hee. /such a dork. But, yeah. He's not bad looking, if a little girly cheesy. (Also, scarf--from his childhood.)

Ugh, same except not really. But yeah, give it a rent from somewhere. That's what I'm doing.

Yep.

He just. Sighs in aggravation. This means trouble, doesn't it.

... ffffff that's awesome. xD Yeah, he doesn't look bad, I agree. Not a bad design for a guy who I assume is a normal human. He actually looks the part. (... awh, that's cute. But still, I couldn't help but laugh when I first saw it.)

I'll try to do that. Especially to check out Luka. ... not that I need any more flirts in my crew, god.

[aisuyoukai.livejournal.com]

Most definitely.

He is. Him attempting to talk to Bayonetta is rather funny--she isn't in the same realm and he can't see her. (I understand. I ignored it 'cept to laugh when he swings it over his shoulder all manly...and then it falls back to the front not even two seconds later. Also the part with his as tiny kid, sentimental, blahblahblah.)

This is true. But still.

Insert facepalm here.

Haha! Oh god, that must be awkward. Trying to talk to someone you can't see... ffff. (... that's awesome. Oh god, I love the fail flirt characters like him. So much fun.)

[aisuyoukai.livejournal.com]

And yet he totally doesn't care what the people around him think of him for doing it. of course by the second half of their conversation everyone's fled the scene--invisible badass fight wtf. (Yeah, you'll like him undoubtedly.)

Here. I'll be back later for some fun. Going to the store to get a game or just bug coworkers, who knows... oh, and ask to go in April, haha, can't forget this time. >.<

...anyway, I know Tony wouldn't be called in on the disturbance call but he could be there for something else, like a recent murder or something... it's a pretty shabby place... idk... something... go with it. (You can play the demon instead if you want.)
