I heard about this game and was moderately interested in it.

I played the demo and I thought it was pretty sweet. Definitely has the 'cool' moments down!

I'm tempted to get the game but I'm all booked up with Castlevania and CoD: Black Ops. I'll just wait till it drops in price.

I've been wanting to grab this too, just trying to save money right now and get through some of my backlog before I make any more purchases.

I guess this is proof that I am far out of touch with gaming... I've never heard of this game.

I played the demo, and could not complete it after a few tries.  Good demo; it tells me the game is for better players than me.  It is quite intense and very well done.

Played the demo and didn't like it much. Played it again later and really liked it. I guess I had to go into it expecting weird Japanese "shoot the weak spot, shit flying everywhere" game. I really want it now.

I've heard it's 4-6 hours long with no multiplayer so I'm waiting for a price drop.

yeah, played the demo a little while ago and thought it was pretty great. unfortunately there's loads of great games out at the moment and i'm a bit low on free time, so it will have to wait. i'll almost certainly get this one once the price drops though.

I impulse bought this over Amazon for $30, damn you Amazon. Watched the intro and played the tutorial and the first little section since I was short on time but it was fucking good. Can't wait to spend more time on it.

I finally got around to playing this.  Grabbed it for 5 bucks from one of those one-day best buy sales last year.

Am I alone in thinking this game does Gears better than Gears?

I saw this for $15 at a retailer a while ago.  I might grab it in the near future; it looks quite good.

I just beat it. Good ride but I was getting sorta tired of it by the end, even though its pretty short. And that ending...I said "What the fuck?" out loud. But still, it was pretty enjoyable. And the dialog made me laugh quite a few times.

I went from loving this game to hating it in a few game hour's time.  I don't think I'm going to bother finishing it.

Worth the 5 dollars I spent, though.

Man, how cool would it be to get the whole Yakuza series on PC?

Hot on the heels of the apparent success of the Bayonetta PC port, guess what's coming? VANQUISH!

Coming to Steam on 25th May, 2017.

You're supposed to get 25% off Vanquish if you own Bayonetta but I found if you add them both to your cart you get 25% off each one, so something to take into account.
