never really thought of ninja gaiden as that bad. it's challenging, but it's never overwhelming.
the hardest part about ninja gaiden (not talking about 2, though it has the same problem) is the fucking camera.
which was at least toggled on the trigger rather than clicking the right thumbstick. please tell me there's a way to change the controls in bayonetta, i couldn't see anything in the options. i mean, i don't have two right thumbs to be attacking and simultaneously hitting the right thumb stick to correct the camera. swapping that with the weapon swap would be infinitely better since i don't see the need to change weapons mid fight, and if i did, i wouldn't be in the middle of attacking.

chapter 15 just kicked me in the vagina
yeah it's nice and challenging, sure i use a few items, but i called it a night when i had to do that bullshit turret crap.
yeah variety is cool, but please play to your strength with the standard combat. i mean, sure the motorcycle bit was awesome, and yeah the surfing boss was neat (more fun to watch than to fight), but stationary turrets? please, don't.
reckon i will use this as an excuse to run around playing previous levels getting money and such (though i don't need it) until i feel like doing chapter fucking 15 again. i mean, i don't care as much if you give me several fuckhard bosses to fight in succession, just no stationary turrets with odd controls, please.
no kidding, fighting my way through chapter 15, good amount of work put into it. i basically insta quit when i got to the turret part. i like variety when it's good, not when it's there for the sake of being there. i mean, instead of a turret you could have had me surfing on a missile around it or something (i mean it's not like i wasn't surfing on a missile the level before).
i just hope i don't just stop playing because of this one part, with mass effect 2 coming out on tuesday, if this is the last thing of bayonetta on my mind, i won't be playing it again for a little while.

HOWEVER the fight with that other witch lady was really damned fun.
OHH IF ONLY I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT LAME MISSILE SHMUP LEVEL FIRST ELSE I WOULD FIGHT HER AGAIN FOR THE SAKE OF IT BEING FUN.
