Bayonetta has the magical ability -- and macabre desire -- to conjure torture devices for use against her enemies. But why does the hair-clothed, gun-toed heroine of Platinum Games' action game do this? Is she just a horrible person?
In a new developer diary (after the break), Director Hideki "Viewtiful" Kamiya explains that Bayonetta and her fellow witches have suffered through torture themselves, and so she fights not only for survival, but for revenge. Her sadism is a direct result of her own experience previous to the game's events. Plus, as Kamiya says, "It is important players enjoy seeing enemies sadistically destroyed." Do try to enjoy the torture. Otherwise you'll be doing the cruelest attack of all: hurting Kamiya's feelings. Congratulations to Jonathan on being the first to comment.

The destruction graphics don't look very good... Everything breaks into big, solid-edged chunks of cement. The flowing lava stuff looked pretty terrible as well...
I don't know how I felt about the cheesy symbolism in 2012. Yeah it was stupid, but I would have been disappointed if it WASN'T there. Of course the statue of Jesus in Rio falls apart.
My favorite was when the couple says something between them is pulling them apart, and then an earthquake appears between them.
