I have had the above game since I bought my 360 it was what caused me to get one in the first place. I wanted to ask was this does Bayonetta's sexuality and confidence intimidate you as an AS sufferer or not because what I have heard is a lot of NT guys are put off by the game because of this. Personally I love her for who she is and even if the plot is nigh on bonkers I can't help but love the woman herself because for one she knows how to kick ass and two she manges to keep men on a tight leash. (Ladies your more than welcome to comment!)

I never played the game, only once at the game store. Her sexuality and confidence didn't bother me in the slightest. Actually I found that was what made her attractive.
My problem is the anatomical incorrect parts. Eh hem her breast.

Yeah fair comment on the "assets" ahem.....I do see that as a valid point but she is damned feisty the reason I loved her was because there was another woman in in my life who had a significant and profound affect on me as a person and Bayonetta reminds me a lot of her but yeah fair comment but I would think a lot of red blooded males would fight tooth and nail for the attention of her.

My problem was she was bit one dimensional too.

I mean if you really think about she's a female Dante from Devil May Cry.

There was nothing to special that made her incomparable with Dante.

I only played the demo so I couldn't really pin-point her personality, but she was visually too out of proportion for me to find her pretty. She kinda had an alien thing going for her. I'm not talking about her breasts like the former mentioned, but just look at the proportions of her entire body and then look at a real girl. Bayonetta was actually pretty freaky looking to me :?

I'm guessing the bad proportions were stylization, but I can't say that helped.

I just watched the 3 trailers on PSN... erm... no I don't like her personality :?

First off she's over-sure and too cocky... and then add on top of that that she has too much of an anime flare to her (Lack of depth)... In other words... I don't think I'd be intimidated, but she sure would drive me insane.

I find Bayonetta a refreshingly strong and interesting female lead. How many games can you say have a female character as the lead in the first place? That said, I actually prefer Jean a bit more than Bayonetta.

Been there done that. Just another game with a hot, busty character that's probably the game's only major selling point.

Well for one I am simply a fan of good guys with dark powers, well for one I first felt a bit annoyed that it felt like they were useing the whole sexy thing to attract guys, and Bayonetta is not really my type, those assets do not really get my attention like the normal guy.

I don't think I was ever too affected by her though in terms of intimidation, might sound really silly but in video games if I choose to create a female character I often create a dark character with some of that sexualy controlling behaviour, so a video game character of that type does not really get to me.
