Well, i think combat is the only good thing in bayonetta. However, the character itself made me don't want to play it.

I didn't like both the combat and the character. Simple combos take horribly long to execute due to the light and heavy attack system, damned QTEs keep ruining the flow of combat and the oversexed protagonist just puts me off.
 
I can feel you there. Although i'm pretty impressed in the combat, i didn't even finished the whole game lol

If you have some time i would recommend moviebob analysis about Bayonetta as character.

Oh, I know fully well what her character is. I just dislike oversexualization of characters in general. Staring at a half naked woman for almost the entirety of the game just isn't my thing.
 
I still recommend to watch that. From what you are saying i supose missed some points and details. Anyway moviebob talking in interesting way, no matter about what.

The thing is, her habit of showing her thing just isn't my thing.

That's cool, go with your own favourite aesthetics. I loved how Bayonetta was so divisive to feminists and sexists alike. Here is a woman so excessively over sexualized that she spends most of her time functionally naked, and yet sends her time utterly destroying classic masculine symbols of power. Hell, sometimess it's literal symbols of masculine power; remember that gigantic tentacle-plant monster, and you spend most of the fight snipping off phalluses with a gigantic set of scissors? It was ingenius.

Men become more empowered when they lose clothing. What anime or action movie or Star Trek episode isn't complete without the hero having his shirt come off and get ten times stronger, just in time to put the killing beat down on the villian? Bayonetta gender-inverted that concept by having the player strip the female protagonist (Usually an act associated with feminine disempowerment) and she immediately became tough enough to punch out GOD.

Bayonetta had it's problems, that I'll grant, but there was the evolution that CUHRAYSAY needed, regardless of who made it.

Hopefully anyone who founded the fem-dominant sexuality and the combo system not to their liking will find something to like in the new protagonist for Bayonetta 2, who seems to be promising a new fighting style.

And as to those who think Vigil should take over the reigns of DMC...ah...hum...
