Stylishly it doesn't do it for me. While I understand over-the-top elements in games, the actual element may or may not attract. The large guns and heavily armored, square jawed soldiers in Gears of War turn me off similarly.

And I don't like Dynasty Warriors or Dragon Age.

Wasn't being specific, I have no idea what you guys like or don't like. But some of us do like games some others don't. Should have phrased it better, sue me.

I don't find it appalling that you don't think GoW 3 is AMAZING, but I find it pretty appalling that you think it is bad because of its engine and presentation.

Never said it was bad. But the engine and presentation do turn me off, yes. But why is that an issue? I judge all games on a number of factors, its game engine and presentation being a couple of them. If they want my attention they have to adhere to my tastes. (And no, my tastes aren't end-all be-all)

I'm guessing your "that's precious" comment was implying that you think Bayonetta is the better game. But based on your complaints about GoW3, how on earth could you possibly like the tech behind Bayonetta more?

I do believe Bayonetta is better, and while the mechanics are similar (inherently so, being that these are action games), they aren't the same. And there's things about Bayonetta's engine I believe are superior to GoW3's. Bayonetta's general style is closer to my personal tastes as well (though I find Devil May Cry to have the perfect blend of theme, style, and game).
