This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is it any wonder that a kid who could actually play that game and play it well without getting a migraine would be unable to sit through reading a normal book?

Might as well hook the poor bastards up to an amphetamine drip and hardwire them into combat drones.  That's about all they're gonna be good for with crap like that filling up their formative years.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Bayonetta is age restricted.

Sadly most parents, and game shops, don't give a tupenny turd about these things - even though the actual shop assistant can incur a whopping fine in the UK for ignoring the law.

I saw some silly girl serve a middle aged woman an age restricted game for the son stood next to her in the queue (i was right behind). Seller even said she couldn't give the game to the kid and had to give it to the parent.

Responsible!

Annoys me really; no wonder games get a bad press.

Normally I don't either. But I'm so bored of all the other rubbish on the console right now that I thought i'd give it a go. It's pretty good, but in places it's way too bizarre with no real explanation either. There's not as much combat as I would have thought, ironically. Plenty of fun stuff to unlock, but what lets it down is that you can't save during missions (chapters, as they are called). There are autosave points that you can restart from if you die, but if you switch off and go away for a while you will have to restart the chapter again. That is not cool.

Quote from: Benoist;410045LOL HOLY SHIT That pic is awesome! :D

And yeah... Bayonetta... ... ... yeah. A few of my gray cells died watching that video. I mourn their loss.

Luckily, I closed the tab as soon as I saw the first opening seconds, so saved some much needed gray matter from turning to the dark side. My tastes in games are WAY to the other end of the spectrum... more GRAW and the Total War series than anything resembling this. Yeah, wtf indeed.

Maybe its just my old-manism, but I don't understand the trend to create hugely detailed characters and scenery, then make it so that you can't enjoy any of it because you're so busy hyperkenetically mashing buttons and dodging around the screen. If you put that much detail into a game, it should allow for some time to admire and enjoy it, IMO. Especially the hawt chixxors.

It is a bit ridiculous at times. The combination of bizarre monster and hyperkinetic colourful animation plus defying gravity is too much at times.
