Why do they call it silent hill when every mannequin makes me scream?

Cool video I liked what your talking about Bayonetta 1. (Also, i do hope nintendo would released for Bayonetta. I don't even mind if it just collection of Bayo 1-3, and Cereza and the lost demon together)

like yeah lemme pull out my knowledge of the entire piano which is diddly squat 😂😂

I think if you stay in that part of the internet where everyone just shits on everything new, may seems like thats the whole scenario, but in reality, those people are just the minority. Lots of people love the persona games, and now even more people loves Reload, its just that time passes and something that was fully praised in the beggining, now its being judged for more eyes and the hype its over. The same thing will happen with Metaphor, now everyone loves it, but in a few months, more people would start hating on the game for whatever reason. Its okay, this always happens with popular games, but if you stay in that part of the fandom, suddenly seems like everyone hates everything And with this im not saying that the Persona games are perfect or people who disliked the games are idiots or something. Just on focusing more in the reality, and that nobody its doing a bad thing for liking these franchise. I´ve seen a few people saying that if you like Reload its because you like "soulles things" or "You dont like the good version of the game". Similar things are being said with SH2 R 💀 Great video, I like how dynamic it was!

It’s ok to like persona

One thing that I think reload added that makes the game so much better is the fully voiced social links, it makes the social link system 1000 times better. Thanks to that you can really feel the emotions of the side characters and party members and I think every future game and remake should have this

FES is way better, the only good about reload was the graphics

P3's anime cutscenes are so good. Like legit some of the best directed sequences in the entire franchise. And then Reload's just feel so pedestrian. Like if you have nothing to compare it to they're totally fine but that wow factor is completely gone.

Yes the anime is ass but the manga is better

Man I thought it was just me. I did not vibe with Metaphor at all. Just felt waaay to familiar. Especially because I've been playing so many Atlus games back to back. I'm glad they dropped such a healthy demo. I was able to decide that I will definitely pass on this

this is like criticising elden ring for not innovating the souls genre

From my perspective I never had the impression Atlus was attempting to "break the mold" with Re:Fantasy. What I always had in mind for my dream Atlus fantasy game back when it was announced was a Fantasy game with P5-level (stylish and visually pleasing) visuals with Press-turn combat and epic music, I guess I'm simple in that manner. It doesn't help that their original elevator pitch to the fans was "This isn't Persona, This isn't Megaten, This is Re:Fantasy" which isn't 100% accurate but I can see what they mean in that it's not a modern setting at all and isn't supposed to be. Saying Metaphor is too similar to Persona would be like saying that Fallout 3 is too similar to Elder Scrolls Oblivion which is accurate but not really too correct in the end when you weigh the facts about the two games even though they share a large amount of mechanics. Also the fact that they've rebranded this as an Atlus 35th entry makes it much more likely they are going to pay homage to what made them famous in an entirely new setting for them. These are just a few of my justifications for as to why I enjoy the everloving mess out of this game so far. Thanks for the video though, I always appreciate different perspectives.

A fan who was introduced to atlus through Digital Devil saga . It’s definitely better than the first 4 hours of p5 royal that’s for sure

It's funny because I never understood why so many people love persona so much, but I absolutely love Metaphor. Every time I've played a Persona game, I've always found myself struggling to stick with it. I can tell they are very high quality, but it's like eating an amazing meal that just isn't your taste. I think it's always been the high school setting and creature collector aspects that turned me off. Metaphor though, it takes everything I liked about the persona series and gets rid of what I didnt like. So for me, I'm way more hyped for this than I would be another persona game.

It doesn't break the mold; it's trying to perfect it. A lot of good design solutions that could improve Persona, and JRPGs in general, seem to be attempted all at once in Metaphor.

game is awesome but the persona/smt gamepaly formula is getting stale

I'm glad to see my decision to use the Japanese audio was the right one. I actually restarted FF after the first few voice line because I hated the Englishness of it. While both games are riffing more on European fantasy than Japanese, there's no reason to default to every fantasy cliche with the voice acting. The Japanese audio at least gives it a different flavor.

This is like a problem of new persona fans or something, even though i do agree that it is not as good as p5, because yeah p5 is like the best of what Atlus could ever made. But you have to see this game like a different thing, and that what the developers trying to do as well. Just forget about persona for a little bit. This game still did many things way better than persona 5, like the combat for example. I do hope that you keep this in mind and give the game another chance.

Im only playing this cause its going for more smt like with that classic press turn system. Especially also because its also using digital devil saga's mantra system that refantazio uses for its archetype system.

Metaphor will surpass persona and smt series

i cant agree about the akademia ost, for me was one of the best ost in the demo

After finishing the demo about an hour ago, came to youtube checking if anyone had the same problems or atleast a similar experience to mine with the game, considering so far the majority of the people that played it had a blast, and here I found a video that summarizes my thoughts exactly. Feeling validated, lol. Great editing and humour, deserves more recognition!

im part of it ong

happy hundered subs Ash you deserve it

you got potential man, i hope you grow big one day

Although the steam review says mixed, the actual stand alone review for the dlc is given so much praise that it’s currently counted as the best dlc pack ever made. Add that to the current massive playerbase and base ER being counted as a 10/10. And yeah the steam review means jack - especially if you count that ER when it first released was also review bombed on steam.

4/5 is kind of nuts. Fromsoft basically gave us a sequel disguised as a DLC and you gave it a B- Still a good video & all.

Btw Miyazaki uses spirit ashes… so lol

your video changed the way i see the world , and how i was missing on everything for the greed of the end product, lets just sit back and enjoy what is infront of us, not the future, not the past but the present. thanks

Merry mohg day 💀🙌🎅

I really like this!

Well said. The anime really sucked. Also for extra information, the author (yana toboso) WAS apparently a shotacon, which explains the unnecessary scenes, but I'm not sure about now.

1:57 I learnt a new word today.

Most of Season 1 and all of Season 2 being filler was something indeed-

Thank you for making this, I simply couldn’t stand people trying to gaslight me to liking this anime and I’m ashamed that I used to like this back in the day

U sounds like deku from mha

This was really well made and so real, thank you for making this ❤❤😭

7:25

wrong

Honestly idk man i was able to platinum it in 60 hours, felt like it wasn’t padded out at all even though the grind to get to level 70 is a little tiresome

Neat video 😗

While I love Bayonetta, Bayo 3 was a mixed bag for me. Like a lot of my criticisms largely boil down to the game having great ideas but not really fleshing them out or delivering on the cool premise as follows. Also, Spoilers below so beware: #1 Bayonetta's variants- Like c'mon y'all this was such a cool idea. Having multiple Bayonetta's in every universe with varying personalities, weapons, experiences, etc. was a fun time. I loved meeting each Bayo, but when you stop and think about it, they don't really do much. They show up in a chapter, you get the variant of the world's demon temporarily, meet said variant and you both run around the area kicking ass, maybe a boss ensues, a demon sin summoning happens at some point, get the chaos McGuffin, variant dies in some way, and move on to the next one now equipped with their weapon and demon. And this all happens in like 2-3 chapters max and you spend so little time in each world before Singularity comes crashing in to remind you how he's the final boss. And by the end it feels kinda pointless because why go through the effort to introduce so many fun and lovely Bayonetta's where the most important thing they do is die for the plot to move on and wash, rinse, and repeat. Personally, I would've loved to see how each Bayo in their world is somewhat like a guardian of the McGuffins and idk possibly show what the name Bayonetta means in each world. Or the possible wild team ups between our Bayo, Viola, and the variants before a huge showdown between the final boss. #2 BayoLuka- Now I will admit I'm more of a BayonJeanne shipper, but I still love BayoLuka. That being said, the way this ending pair was executed feels so...shoved in. Like I never really got the vibes from any of the games that Bayonetta actually returned any of Luka's advances. I feel Loki summed him up perfectly in Bayo 2, he's just "the perv who stares at Bayonetta's tit's" and he's really only there to give lore dumps, tell Bayonetta where or even what the next McGuffin is, and/or act as a literal plot device to save whoever's traveling with Bayonetta so she can focus on the fight. Bayonetta spends the first two games not being all that into him. Yeah, she cares about him, she doesn't want him to die or anything, but more often than not Bayonetta gives off the vibes that she only thinks of him as an acquaintance or maybe a friend. Even in Bayo 3, she sends Viola after him to essentially to escort him and hopefully give her some field training, and their few interacts are so short and she still has the same attitude of being playful and somewhat over his shit. Then in the later half, he goes from just the same side character to being one of the main protagonists with all this lore shoved on him and now he's relevant to the fairies?? Bayo all of a sudden needs him to fight and they're in love now? It feels like so many steps were skipped to make it happen without showing any kind interest or change in the dynamics to show Bayo loves him and Luka was willing to go to hell with her for said love. #3 Viola- Within the fandom I've noticed most either love or hate Viola. For me, I absolutely love Viola. She's into punk rock, fights with swords and brawls, her demon Cheshire was hilarious, their dynamic was kinda wholesome (you could tell they cared about each other as companions rather than just two beings with a deal that's standard in game), and her gameplay sections for me were fun especially after the patches that made witch time easier to get with her. That being said, Bayo 3 really didn't do much with her. She was hyped up as the second protagonist and is supposed to be one of the main players in the story, hell she's the kid of a Bayo and Luka variant in another universe, but she's barely there and the little time we the players get with her don't really inspire any confidence in her. Yes, we see her grow somewhat, but not enough to confidently throw her into the role of the new Bayonetta after our Bayo dies. She's a witch in training but nothing's done with it beyond her initial gimmicks. Viola throughout the entire game gets three levels in the entire game, and in each of them we see her chase Luka across the multiverse, get her ass handed to her in multiple fights or if she wins it's by the skin of her teeth, and on one hand she doesn't interact Jeanne or any of the Bayo variants while on the other her few interacts with Bayo are so short and spread out that any attempts to make Bayo and Viola seem close feel so forced. Viola and Bayo's dynamic feels so awkward because the story wants the player to believe that they're family even across the multiverse, but they don't build on this beyond the occasion awkward banter. Hell, they spend a majority of the game apart, I'm not even sure why our Bayo is so attached to her by the end. Yeah, one of the Bayo and Luka variants are her parents, but that has no relation to our Bayo and she doesn't get to know Viola on any deeper level. These two are not traveling together and being forced to bond like Cereza and Loki of the previous games and the stories pacing is so fast there's no room to breathe and let them just talk or anything of the sort, so why does our Bayo care so much about Viola? #4 Jeanne- Y'all this ain't a new take but Jeanne was done so dirty it's honestly wild. Jeanne is sent to find Sigurd and escort him to Thule and use the chaos McGuffins to save them all, but Jeanne feels kinda pointless. Don't get me wrong I love Jeanne, the platinum queen who kicks major ass and takes names is always a delight to ride with, but she feels kinda aimless too. Like besides her stealth missions which I believe she gets about five of, she's really only there to die in the end. Even the opening chapters she gets knocked out of the fight and has to be rescued by Bayo, gets shoved aside to find Sigurd, and then gets killed by him after it's revealed Sigurd was Singularity. Also, the death scene was so fast I'm honestly mad for her. Also, in Bayo Origins saying her death was essentially a cannon even that couldn't be altered feels like a cop out like Jeanne not able to defy fate?? Since when???? #5 Singularity- This dude is hella boring as a final boss. Like he's got intimidation factor, I'll give him that. Singularity killed Viola's mom Whittingham Bayo, wiped out multiple variants, killed Jeanne, and was able to manipulate the entire cast into doing the dirty work for him. Like on paper this all makes him sound like a badass, but he's not. For most of the game he only casually pops up to remind the player that he's the main guy you gotta take down and he doesn't really have a reason for doing what he does. Now, to be fair, not every villain needs some grand narrative reason to be evil, hell they can be evil for the lols, but he's not even that. He's just making the "Alphaverse" to gain more power and sit on it. Like c'mon that's generic as hell. To rip a line from Friendly Space Ninja, Singularity "is the narrative equivalent of driving in traffic." Singularity's reasoning is all hidden until the last few hours of being a bland villain, then is revealed in his bio which is optional content after you beat the game. All in all, Bayonetta 3 has a lot of great ideas, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. But this is just my take of it, and despite the criticism I still love this game and our lovely Umbra witch. Keep rockin' on folks~

Bayonetta became an icon due to her iconic cutscenes of how badass and sexy she is more than her gameplay in combat; many people remember and consider Bayonetta a true icon even though they never touched her games because her concept was utterly unique in gaming industry, thus she quickly gained attention. THEN her absolute fun gameplay made people stay. Bayonetta 3 got that mixed up; they thought Bayonetta is *alllllllll* about gameplay and gameplay gimmicks so they made the decision of shifting their focus to gameplay rather than making Bayonetta herself enjoyable to watch (like in Bayo 1 and 2), heck Humunculi had more screen time than Bayonetta herself. Not mention those god awful graphics that uglified so much of Bayonetta’s beauty to the point even if she tried to be sexy again (like drinking that wine in Gates of hell where they zoom in her lips, she looked morbid af and disgusting to look at) Bayonetta 1 and 2 graphics were a lot more flexible and were perfect for Bayonetta’s character to pop out the best. With out of the way; Bayonetta 3 screwed up the lore by making it a multiverse and made a human/android hybrid to cause more chaos than Aesir (the GOD of CHAOS). On top top top of that; they killed off Jeanne, Luka and other Bayonettas and Bayonetta herself in the stupidest ways possible leaving only Viola (the insecure cringe teen) alive. That’s why Bayonetta is losing popularity despite Bayonetta 3 having more sales than Bayonetta 1 and 2, many don’t consider her as icon anymore but a niche franchise. Sad

They ruined any possible future for the games with the ending of Bayonetta 3… Bayonetta AND Luka dies, apparently all the other multiversal Bayonettas are dead too, and an ugly non trained little girl, Viola is left with og bayonettas name.. if Bayonetta 4 has Viola as the main character, I will not be playing. 🫶

It’s a good franchise but it gets worse each game

Good video of bayonetta😃👍 I'm newcomer with bayonetta series for months now yet thanks to the internet , I manage to learn more about the series while also played it as well . I'm admit though I liked Bayonetta 3 , but the game Cons outweigh Pros it have . The multiverse storyline were stupid , Viola felt like she needed more screetimes to flesh her character(and her combat style as well ) , and the game feel like "it chew more than it should" .

I hate Bayonetta's hair in 3. It looks weird on her

id forgive it if it stayed its own universe... but it tried to retcon the past games being separate universes....when it was confirmed in game they where the same, b3 broken established lore, threw in a love story no body wanted and didnt even flesh out given its a different bayo and luka from past games...they barely interact characterization took a hit too, bayo didnt feel natural in her actions and motions... more of a yes queen slay trope that tried too hard...

6:03 lol

Excellently said. Bayonetta 3 sucks and no one can convince me otherwise. 🌹💎✨🌙
