Beg For More: Bayonetta To Be “Sadistically Hard”
Thursday 2 April 2009 @ 11:25 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 14 Comments
It seems not all hope is lost for those of us who feel games have gotten terribly easy as the generations have passed. Hideki Kamiya, director of the upcoming PlatinumGames title Bayonetta, wrote on the company’s blog that Bayonetta will not be another nail in the coffin of challenging games.
On the contrary he hopes Bayonetta will be “a sadistically hard game”, and that’s a bold statement. But considering he’s the father of the Devil May Cry series, this shouldn’t come as a surprise and furthermore, it is a guarantee that when he says sadistically hard, he means it. Will Bayonetta make us cry in pain and then beg for more? We can only hope, and it really does make sense to have a dominatrix-looking witch as the lead, if that’s the case.
Let’s hear it, who’s ready for a really hard game?

As long as he has the sense to include something along the lines of Ninja Gaiden Black’s Ninja Dog mode, I’m all for it.
Anyway, getting your ass kicked in Bayonetta is reportedly to have the heroine’s hair suit fall in to disrepair. Nothing like giving a minor reward for doing badly!
“Hard” indeed.
hurr hurr i see what you did there
I’m a clever wordsmith, me.
There’s a difference between ‘playable hard’, and ‘omg this game is so f’n frustrating hard’
Hopefully it’s the first. Or else i won’t even bother with the game. Or at least give us the option of an easy mode, just so we can at least beat it, even if we have to pussy out in the process.
I don’t mind it being hard. I’m the first to max the difficulty in any game because I typically find them too easy. But I want it to be strategically hard, not the Ninja Gaiden crap where the camera gets placed in fixed position and the enemies hit you from behind walls. True story I played the game for 5 minutes and I threw-up due to the swirly camera.
I want more sadistically hard games like F-zero GX.
Or Battletoads?
you catch my drift :)
easy, difficult, hard, controller thrower. i hope its not a controller thrower
You throw the controller because you’re not a bad enough dude to rescue the president.
Sexual inuendo aside, and the hair-weapon-that-makes-the-heroine-get-naked-in-the-middle-of-everything aside, we might as well have a frustration milestone in the works.
frustration as in countless gamers getting frustrated trying to get the character to strip naked? xD
