Back when this came out we all thought it was the start of Platinum's golden age, turns out it was to be their peak. But what a peak it was. Still one of the most crowd pleasing and exciting games around, thanks largely to the soundtrack of course.
Bayonetta 1 is better
THE UNENLIGHTENED MASSES
I still remember when people would say shit like "What if X game, but made by Platinum?"
>>749537875Why doesn't Platinum just copy what they did with Revengeance? Make cheesy as fuck characters and a banging soundtrack. They haven't done that at all since then. Granted, only thing that came close was Devastation, but that feels like cheating.
>>749538036If only we got that Kill La Kill game by Platinum everyone wanted.
>tfw we never got our Kill la Kill MGR clone in which we cut clothes
>mgrr>platinum's peakexcuse me?
>>749538114Get Claude to reverse engineer the main gameplay of MGR and then get it to reskin it to KLK.
>>749537875MGR is good.Nier Automata is all around better.
>>749538202does that really counti thought they were being tard wrangled extremely hard for that
>>749538214Genius.>>749538202Gamewise Automata is bad and one of the worst platinum title. Godtier soundtrack tho.
>>749537875It has always been a mediocre game. It just has very "hype" moments. Platinum has released more duds than good games. I'll never understand the blind fanaticism.
>>749538071they recycle things from time to time.this one has witchtime. I love this fucking game. and hasbro doesn't allow them to be sold now.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eNaSMzLh0Nk&pp=ygUndHJhbnNmb3JtZXJzIGRldmFzdGF0aW9uIG1lZ2F0cm9uIGZpZ2h0
>>749539018people expected the new Treasure. faith in studios like clover. we just can't have nice things.
>>749539065I have no expectations. If you game is good and it is my kind of game, I'll probably buy it. MGR had no excuse to be worse than DMC3, 4 or Bayonetta.
>>749538114painful, but it is what it is
>>749539171>MGR had no excuse to be worse than DMC3,that's like your opinion, man.I would complain more about games like the TMNT one.
>>749539018The real downside of MGR is its lack of combos and other combat QOL like weapon swap. Also has some junk in the stealth department.Feedback wise the game feels amazing from parries to cutting to zandatsu. No games have surpassed it.Then it has a banger soundtrack, good rythm, bat shit insane dialogues, hype moments (as you said), meme energy, iconic boss fights. It is just pure unfiltered fun edgy cringe kino. No wonder it even had a resurgence with zoomers several years later.
>>749537942This. Also Vanquish was their peak.
>>749537875they peaked last year thoughbeit
>>749539065half of Clover's output consisted of mediocre Viewtiful Joe sequels and spinoffs
>>749538202Automata had amazing gameplay for a Yoko Taro game, but as a character action...well it's better than donte's game but that's not saying much.
R U L E S
>>749539947>mouseeww
>>749540213here we go again
>>749540213It's better for literally everything except Sam's RAY fight because for whatever reason they coded A&D to switch lockon target.
>>749537942in your dreams>>749538202debatable>>749539409complete bullshitvanquish is by definition a niche arcade shooter
>>749537942I feel like bayonetta 1 is intentionally designed to be frustrating. Just take the example of a QTE which suddenly pops up after the end of a lengthy cutscene and if you don't press it you instantly die.
>>749540490>in your dreamsWhich game got 2 sequels again?
>>749539947>>749540360>cuckboard and mouse controlsPathetic.
>>749537942I too like gimmick level after gimmick levelBayo 1 mechanics are good but as a game it's overrated
>>749540554bayo 1 was always considered second rate DMC and was very popular during the cuhrayzee era which is so far behind nowit only got sequels because nintendo was desperate for action games and paid very little for the IP and they're still stuck on tendie consoles for that reasonan MGR sequel would sell like hot cakes too let's not kid ourselves it's just that platinum rat fucked themselves with this third party IP shit
>>749540554This isn't the own you think it is. 2 was bad and 3 was terrible.
Well, if it isn't saucy Jack
>>749540746Still better than the MGR sequels.
>>749537875Peak? That garbage that is a Metal Gear themed bayonetta reskin? Hacktinum Games has never made anything remotely peak (incl. Automacrap)
>>749538036I still don't get why everyone had such a hard on for the thought of an F-Zero by Platinum
2013 Platinum was on fire.On one end of the spectrum you had normie peak with MGR and on the other end you had patrician peak with Wonderful 101.They covered both bases well.
>button smashing character actionWhat a terrible (sub)genre
>>749538079>>749538114This would've saved vidya like the show saved anime, but that window of opportunity has long since passed.>>749542913Man I should replay W101..
>>749538214everyone online saying "get claude to do this" "get claude to do that"if its so fucking easy why don't you get claude to do it?
>that time they put a mgr font 2 in some fucking game announcement or award show
>>749544160god i want to own the blu ray set but i could never justify buying it
>>749544295technically it's possible but it could cost as much if not order of magnitudes more than just hiring a modder to reskin the game
