What is everyone's deal with Bayonette? I think it's just a nostalgia trip for older gamers.
Nostalgia trip? The first game released only in 2010. The reason everyone loves Bayonetta is because the developer, Platinum Games, know the genre very well. The people there have created some of the most enjoyable and challenging games from: God Hand, Okami, and Viewtiful Joe while they were a part of Clover Studio and Vanquish, Wonderful 101, Metal Gear: Rising Revengeance, and Bayonetta 1/2. They have an incredible pedigree behind them and know what they are doing when it comes to gameplay but tend to falter when it comes to depth in their stories though Okami is the one exception to that rule. If you are a fan of spectacle fighters Platinum Games is the company that delivers and have achieved near perfection on that front which is why Bayonetta 2 has recieved such acclaim.
I definitely think DA:I will be my game of the year though considering my BioWare love
and the only other 2014 games I've played so far are Murdered: Soul Suspect and Shadow of Mordor anyway lol.
