Boring Game Magazine Covers
I suspect this is an attempt to cater to a more mature market, but it kind of reflects how boring the industry has become. In the 90's these magazines (EGM, GamePro) were plastered with new game art, and it was pretty exciting. There were so many things on those covers that grabbed your attention. Of course, the inside of the magazines were a lot more interesting as well. Some of those magazines were upwards of 300 pages with dozens of reviews.

Why is the Polygon Bayonetta 2 review "painful to read"? Because you passionately disagree with the author's sentiments? Perhaps you just had a stomach ache at the time? I'm trying to think of the last time reading caused me physical pain and I'm drawing a blank.

I'm not the biggest fan of that store, but Gamestop has great deals all the time. Right now, you can trade in an Xbox 360 or PS3 towards a PS4 and get $175 in store credit! That's insane!

ptdebate-"Painful to read" is obviously just an expression. The reviewer whines way too much about "over-sexualization" and other nonsense like that but hardly seems to talk much about actual gameplay. Polygon's reviews aren't always bad to be far, but the guy who wrote the review- Arthur Gies has some of the absolute game reviews i've ever seen, seriously they sound like they were written by a first-grader.
Tron-Game Informer are not "knuckleheads" just cause of that, that's utter nonsense, like it or not digital is becoming more prevalent and it's not like it's that difficult to just Google a game to see whether it's physical or digitial

[/QUOTE]I just re-read the review and found it very insightful and competently written. You must have found spelling or grammar mistakes that I seem to have missed if you liken it to a 1st-grader's writing.
Bayonetta 2 may be a solid action game, but it's a good point that the camera's behavior is astronomically gross and the plot and characters very juvenile.
