Nah I was never a fan, I didn't get more than a couple hours into it. I didn't like the main character, I thought the combat system was a bit overrated, and I thought the lengthy load time when you died killed the pace and took a lot of the adrenaline away.
Bayonetta 2 looks far better visually, I like the characterization of the main character more (from what I've seen) and the emphasis on epic boss fights and brighter environments has me more interested.
