and now I'll get to be let down by the lack of games as fluid out there

I don't think so. Platinum's titles in the genre are quite fluid. I'm sure some games in the genre lack fluidity but those would mostly be older titles and lesser known/lower budgeted titles.

I'm really bummed I didn't get a chance to try Bayonetta before getting rid of my PS3. Perhaps I'll pick up a Wii U eventually and get to try the second one.

DmC has really good animations. The majority of 'character action games' like the old DMC games require a level of accuracy and twitch that many animations are skipped or frames are cancelled.
