Time spent with Bayonetta leads to more of a seduction rather than an impression. She called to me like a Siren at E3, causing me to crash into the Sega booth several times throughout the week. This isn’t the first time you’ve heard me praise the title, and it certainly won’t be the last. But let me offer you an anecdote taken directly from the show floor.
I enjoy watching other people play videogames at events like E3 nearly as much as playing them myself. It’s challenging to really feel a personal connection to the games on display with all the commotion surrounding every available screen as well. And as I was watching a group of steady customers take turns at Bayonetta, I inadvertently eavesdropped on a conversation occurring behind me. Two people were obviously impressed by the game, and I turned around as they started discussing the more technical aspects on display to find that one was from Infinity Ward and the other was from Sony Santa Monica. And surely I thought that had to be noteworthy.
