The Outlaw's Favorite Game Moments: Don't Fuck With A Witch

Creepy, effeminate, anime men aside, the last fight in Bayonetta is a hectic masterpiece. But that actually isn't the reason I love it so much. What makes it appealing to me is how it actually manages to defy the conventions of the game. Up until this point, everyone's favorite witch has been a cocky little lady who has managed to hurt or kill anything remotely angelic by summoning her hair demon things. This is no longer the case. Now she's up against the big bad and things are a bit different.


He fucked with a witch

Before you misinterpret what I mean and think I just like seeing her beat up on, I must tell you that's not it at all. I'm not that piece-of-shit, scum-sucker Chris Brown. The reason this sticks out is because of what I mentioned before. If you go by the cut-scenes or fights she is never topped. Nothing stands much of a chance against her and her hair demons beat the hell out of everything. Not anymore. I mean... HE MANAGES TO HIT HER! Also, he pwns one of her hair summons.

I bring this up because it was one of the first boss fights I've played in a while that gave me a full sense that this fight stands above the others. Sure, Bayonetta toppled some pretty powerful beings, but they never phase her. This one does. And beyond all that, it drives her to drop the f-bomb.

That might sound unimportant, but it actually is. In most games cursing is thrown around like a baby at a British nanny convention. That is not the case in Bayonetta, at least with the main character. Until this very scene she doesn't say the word once, so you know she bloody well means it when she does. It gives the word the impact it has lost in entertainment media. And for that, I make with the applauding.

In conclusion, GO PLAY BAYONETTA!
