"Very Easy Automatic" Mode

You may or may not remember me talking about how game controls can be, at times, hard to learn. This opinion is based on my own personal experience of not playing a game for awhile and having to spend time trying to learn the controls again. Heaven forbid I want to just jump into a new game and accomplish something while the baby is napping!

Now there is a video that shows a feature that will be available for the very easy and easy difficulty levels of the upcoming Bayonetta. With this new feature the player does not really have to hit more than one or two buttons to pull off some of the great feats that Bayonetta is capable of.





I am not sure how I feel about this yet. I am a fan of finding ways to help players learn the game or how to be a better player, but I am not sure this feature is actually going to do that. A baby can sit and push a button or two without actually learning something. (Trust me. I give my son the second controller to play with.) The real question for me will be how much the player will be able to try moves on their own in addition to the automatic play.
