I finally played through the demo. I had no idea what was going on. I kind of just attacked and dodged when the game let me, but there's so much **** flying every which way that I had trouble figuring out how much of it I was causing.
I'm not very good at these types of games, but as long as I can manage to get through each stage, I'll be happy. I have no interest in earning Pure Platinum medals, mostly because I'm fairly confident that I can't. I button-mash a little, and that's good enough for a Silver Medal. With some practice, I'm sure I'll get better. I'm not putting the time to perfect stages. I'm okay with that.
I really like Bayonetta, the character. She's so delightfully over-the-top. I'm still going with this being satire because it just works so well. I mean, the alternative is that this is all serious, and that hasn't worked out so well for these guys in the past.
I choose not to take Bayonetta seriously, and I think that's what makes her a fun character. "It's not Christmas without caviar." Haha, okay, Bayonetta.
