Why is it forgotten?
Worst entry in a franchise with 1 good game
>>737176887It killed years of tranny and gay discourse, so now all the raped troons are trying to memory hole it
>>737176887Taken hostage by Nintendo which killed the franchise.
dead genre
i rember it more than bayonetta 2, which is just the first game again but with nothing new to make it stand out like the first game did
Games are no longer crazy
>>737178330>>737178449>Cope post by poorfags
>>737176887the developers didn't take the scoring and medal system seriously enough.
>>737178608Why am I a poorfag?
I only bought bayonetta 2 because of the Nintendo crossover costumes1 & 3 didn’t include that so I didn’t play them Simple as
It ain't that good. Only one bossfight is on par with the originals and that is wolf luca who you refight so many times
>>737178706you certainly are a specimen
>>7371768872 didn't sell a ton either. It's clear the vast majority of people who recognize her only know her from Smash Bros and just imagined what she says and does in the actual Bayonetta games. 3 was as popular as you'd expect a Bayo 2 sequel to be. The biggest difference is the small audience that loves every hardcore action game didn't like that it constantly switches to a mandatory minigame.
I didnt like the settingEverything is fucking broke and we go on our merry way traveling through alternate realities slurping alternate bayonettas for no good reasonAnd I fucking hate playing as violaI genuinely dropped the game, it didnt click for me
>>737178742I don’t like bad gamesBayonetta is a 6/10 series that’s only saved by the 2nd game
>>737178672Now buy it for your girlfriend or bros
>>737179329>girlfriend or brosI'll buy a new arcade stick to play shmups on my Switch.
>>7371787061 had Nintendo costumes on Switch and WiiU
The story is somehow more retarded than the previous games, multiverses suck, Luka sucks, Viola sucks, and it barely ran on switch. At least Bayo got some very fun weapons, I did enjoy the gameplay.
Because it was shitThe only good Bayonetta game is the first one and even then only on NSIC Mode
Let me tell you as a fan of games like ninja gaiden, devil may cry and bayonetta 1 I certainly wouldn't think to buy a fucking wii or switch
>worst story>worst Bayo design>Jeanne missions are boring>Viola is obnoxious and a chore to play as>combat/weapons are dumbed way down and there's almost no challenge>trapped on the Switch
>>737179951Holy fuck, I actually forgot about the Jeanne sub-missions. Absolutely abysmal dogshit, at least they were short.
>stealth sections in an action game>big dumb slow kaiju fights with framerate issues because bigger = better>Viola and her parryslop and her whole character>Marvel-tier multiverse nonsenseI was relieved when it was over
>>Marvel-tier multiverse nonsenseAlready mention in Bayo 1
>>737179951>>737178330It comfy Nintendo games. Not hard to accept.
>>737180756time travel =/= multiverse
Bayon3tta literally has the best Sunday Best outfit, next to Bayon2tta
>>737176921FPBP
Is the framerate better on SW2?
>>737178672Europoor is a mindset, not a number.
>>737178330If it was bad for Nintendo it was bad for everybody else
>>737176887I only remember Bayolante
It sucked, origins was better
I died on a Viola level and I just really couldn't face going through it again.1 was lightning in a bottle, nintenderising the series was a huge mistake.
>muh NDSNintendo has been hands off with the series, Platinum owns this stinker
>>737181568>>737183219No argument.
You can't go from a character that moves as fluidly and loosely as Bayo to a character like Viola who is stiff and awkward.
>>737183154Yes, Super Switch now getting Lollipop Chainsaw RePop
Should have focused on the monstergirl mode more than the giant summons, even if i dont dislike themAlso:>Make a whole fucking trailer to showcase the retarded minigame nobody has ever liked, and only tolerate because the main game was goodNow i want to see if Kamiya on his own is going to choke Okami 2 on minigames like he did in W101 or finally got the clue.
>>737176887The enemy designs in this game fucking sucked. we had cool angel designs that broke apart as you fought them in the previous two, but in this one? here's fucking colgate man 4 who looks identical to colgate man 6 and also they don't have visible damage.what were they thinking.
>>737188435But bro don't you remember playing Space Harrier back in the 80s wearing your biker jacket and how that was the coolest thing ever? Everybody's gonna love that if I put it into my game!
>>737188642Why enemy originated from earth?
>>737188642>what were they thinking.They wanted the bad guy to be a super autist who prioritize function with 0 interest to style. Maybe the execution was beyond Platinum, or is just a bad idea in general.
>>737178863>only know her from Smash BrosRetard. Fucking everyone knew Bayo just because of the sheer amount of cosplay. Bayonetta and Lollipop Chainsaw were the prototype of slop like Nier Automata and Stellar Blade that is to say mediocre action games that nobody actually plays carried by sexy protagonists.
>>737178330>zoomers forget the sequels would not have happened without Nintendo picking it up>Nintendo was literally their last option, they shopped around to Microsoft and Sony first before going to Nintendo
>>737189487I guess everyone looks for cosplay, everyone sleeps in your bed and everyone eats exactly what you eat, right?
>>737189625You need to be 18 to post here.
>>737189625I sleep in his bed, he's the little spoon.
>>737189564Then it shouldn't have happened. They also shouldn't have pissed off SEGA.
>>737176887Bayo didn't need a third game
>>737188702>Everybody's gonna love that if I put it into all of my games!
>>737190409It do need two more games on Super Switch
>>737188702The more that I think about all the Sega/Sonic/Space Harrier easter eggs in Bayo 1 the more I think Kamiya was just pandering to Sega as their publisher.
>>737191243You also can play as multiple Bayonettas.
>>737176887>ripped off the story from marvel slop>censored the designs>tried to shoehorn in the failed scalebound beta to the determent of every part of the game>replaced Bayonetta's VA for refusing to say trans rights>tried to set up sequel bait with bayonetta's tranny sonI'm glad this killed Platinum.I'm also glad Nintendo saved Astral Chain form them.
>>737178672because you didn't buy his kiddie playbox kek
>>737192414>replaced Bayonetta's VA for refusing to say trans rightsThe rest of your shitpost is fine but this was actually because Hellena Taylor is fucking insane.
>>737192414>ripped off the story from marvel slopWhich e-celeb did you steal that claim from? Protip, time travel and alternate dimensions have been in the series since the first game. Marvel didn't invent them.
>>737176887Worst combat in the series (there are some neat tricks and depth with the demon puppets, but all of the weapons are bad and you can't equip different ones on hands/feet anymore) and the level design is awful. Only one or two levels in the entire game give you the same sort of exploration feeling that levels in 1 & 2 have.
DMC>oh yeah hes a demon hunter and has a personal interest in the conflictGoW>oh yeah hes been shit on by the gods and has a personal interest in the conflictBayonetta>um shes killing angels for some reason? why are they evil? nobody knows. what are witches? uuh who knows. pointless.
>>737192414>ripped off the story from marvel slopYup, this is real>censored the designsNo, they only included a streamer mode that you can turn on>tried to shoehorn in the failed scalebound beta to the determent of every part of the game???>replaced Bayonetta's VA for refusing to say trans rightsNow this is revisionism >tried to set up sequel bait with bayonetta's tranny sonKek way to out yourself tranny, you lost, Bayonetta is straight and got pregnant from based Luka
>>7371930481 has a perfectly coherent plot, but the vast majority of players just skipped the cutscenes (or are retarded).
>>737193048>>Kek way to out yourself tranny, you lost, Bayonetta is straight and got pregnant from based LukaKek way to out yourself as an ESL, you lost, the poster was clearly talking about Viola, referring to her as "Bayonetta's tranny son"
>>737192414>replaced Bayonetta's VA for refusing to say trans rights>revisionIt appears there was a lie, as she misrepresented the situation and desired additional compensation, seemingly influenced by Nintendo's decision to employ an actor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
>>737193427Maybe that was part of it, but she quoted the Bayonetta games as selling much more than they actually have, probably using a count she got from looking at VC Chartz and adding up numbers that shouldn't be added.
I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to play as Viola in the upcoming fourth game.
>>737184760Play on hard.
>>737193028> >um shes killing angels for some reason?It is explained in the prologue.> why are they evil?They are not.> what are witches?Um, well ...witches, no?
>>737195668>"play the bad parryslop gameplay that nobody likes and that had to be patched on a higher difficulty bro, that will fix it"
>>737191569The Space Harrier shit goes back all the to DMC 1, he just loves shmups. He was the one who pushed for Platinum to work on the ill-fated Star Fox Zero. Ironically the only Platinum game where this shit was integrated more-or-less decently is Automata which he didn't work on.
>>737196665Both characters have a type of parry, granted by an accessory, and both can summon a demon right before an attack would hit to nullify damage and perform a counterattack. Both also have an invincible dodge. There are reasons to not like Viola as much as Bayonetta. None of them involve the fact that she has a parry.
>>737176887Troons and dykes hate it because it followed up on Bayonetta and Luka's shameless flirting from the first two games by marrying them and giving them a daughter, instead of validating their insane fanfiction that she and Jeanne are lesbos.
>>7371787061 has the costumes and 3 has the world tour costumes which are kino.
>>737197361Reminder some feminist call Bayo sexist
>>737176887I didn't play it because the new enemy designs looked like shit
No Bayonetta game is remembered. Not 1, not 2, not 3. 3 isn't exclusive in this regard.
>>737178706>>737198104You missing out.
Bayonetta was never good and the same can be said about platinum overall. Just look at how ninja gaiden 4 turned out.
>>737189564They should have taken Nintendo's money and just did a multi plat release anyways because fuck them.
>>737192414>replaced Bayonetta's VA for refusing to say trans rightsShe got replaced because she was a retard who thought 1 yen equaled 1 dollar and assumed she was being underpaid and demanded a massive raise.
>>737198313>just did a multi plat releaseConsider acquiring a Nintendo Switch.
>>737193134To me, Bayo 2 has great writing.
>>737176887It's cringe desu (the whole series).
>>737176887An hidden gen
>>737176887Bayo 3 has the some of the ugliest character designs in all of Platinum history.
>>737201024The 60s baby!
>unironic multiverse plot>all the cool new Bayonettas introduced die in retarded ways>Jeanne is stuck with poor man's Elevator Action minigames>Jeanne dies in a retarded way>Bayonetta combat more mindless than ever, more spectacle than usual>Bayonetta dies in a retarded way>game REALLY wants you to like her stupid lolsoclumsy daughter with a shit haircut and moveset
>Make an entire game for Cheshire's backstory>Acts nothing like the Bayo3 Cheshire and Bayo barely reacts to him anywayI gotta wonder what the fuck happened
>>737197203>There are reasons to not like Viola as much as Bayonetta. None of them involve the fact that she has a parry.Yes it does because even as you flaccidly admit Bayonetta's main mechanic is not parrying, it's dodging. And the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa parry still incentivizes aggression and movement because you have to press towards the opponent, whereas sword parrying requires you to stop and wait/react. This is a fundamentally different playstyle that the game throws at you and that players were used to in 1-2, and the parry window was so unforgivingly bad they had to patch it, and Viola has certain Nifleheim challenges that are witch-time only, meaning you MUST parry. There is no avoiding it.I don't care how much you like this Hot Topic scene girl, nobody plays Bayonetta for this kind of gameplay and they would've been better off making a new franchise for this kind of thing.
>>737176887why are japs obsessed with the name viola
Bayo 2 would've been the undisputed best of the trilogy if enemies blocking attacks wasn't RNG.
>>737176887Because the only good games Platinum have ever made were Bayonetta 1, Revengeance and Transformers DevastationALL the rest range from absolute fucking dogshit (most of them) to good but eh (NG4)
>>737202143The bosses that can only take damage while in witch time is what killed it for me.
>>737202123It reminds them what they do with children
>>737176887It's good, just needs a Switch 2 edition.
>>737201924>even as you flaccidly admit (something I never even hinted at mentioning)Viola has the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa parry, so if you'd rather do that instead of her built-in sword parry, you can. I'm not going to try and convince someone who doesn't even know how the game works that the sword parry is fine. I'll just say she isn't much different than Bayonetta to the point you can just not use her sword parry and do fine.
>>737183154Framerate's stable, but the load times are still bad.
>>737184760>series is 'nintenderised'>still dies anywayI suppose they could still add gold tanooki Viola in a patch, just for you anon.
>>737202123Characters are named Cherry and Light, so it makes sense their kid is named after a pretty common word.
>>737202263>>737202123>woman with swordsmanshipRebecca (One Piece) and Claymore Manga
>>737199547"Absolutely criminal. There is such a thing as a time and a place..."
>>737202660eh?
>>737202340>Viola has the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa parryNo she fucking doesn't. The only default way to parry with her is by blocking as you're about to get hit. Are you just a Viola shill or what?
>>737178330Snoynigger cope.Get fucked.
>>737178330Nice try snoyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaCgW6C32nQ
>>737203724You finally made it super obvious you have no clue what you're talking about. Instead of being wrong yet again in this thread, why don't you start up Bayonetta 3 and equip that accessory on Viola.
>>737176887The voice actress having a woman moment and making literally every piece of news about Bayo 3 about how she needs more money completely soured its public presence, the same way game journos only "covered" Tomodachi Life to advertise LGBT politics before immediately memoryholing the game after it released.
>>737204169>no glint on the fisher price tabletplaystation always wins baby
>>737178706bayo 1 was included with bayo 2
>>737202250I could cope with that since the bosses are at least aggressive enough that you're almost always in witch time when it matters, but getting cucked out of a platinum's combo or time threshold because one stupid nigger randomly blocked 4 times in a few seconds is inexcusable.
>>737204473>>737202283>>737184297Bundles Bayo 3 with her origin
>>737176887loudest fans of the franchise were lesbians, and now it's their misson to bury it because it was confirmed that bayonetta likes dicks**they didn't played the first game to get the hint either
I checked out once they introduced multiverse shit
>>737204796You can blame Platinum themselves for trying to bury the whole Luka x Bayo thing in the second one before they walked it back.
