Bayonetta 3 Review: Imagine Boycotting Such a Fun Game

[@icetrey8662]

You can give the summons up to 2 commands to execute. You can attack while they are executing and just start dancing again to give them more commands. Rinse and repeat. You don't really need that item to control them.

[@icetrey8662]

I spent 20+ hours in the game and didn't even notice the environment graphics quality

[@ricardobelmont5984]

I'm having a blast! Though I'll admit I remember more minor enemy fights in the previous entries. Kinda miss that. The controversy was interesting and revealed a lot about folks. Saw a few very vocal folks slink back into the shadows after more info came to light.

[@PikaLink91]

I wasn’t sure what side to be on, but already when she ended her pitiful sob story on a plea to boycott, I cheered when it was revealed she was a bloody liar.

[@thestarfish5644]

When i play this on the switch, i can hear the fan BLASTING and that really says something about the work the switch has to do to pull this off

Bayonettas VA:their lying to save their own ass and the game Evidence: trust me bro

I would love love more reviews from this man🙂

Not the only one coming this week. Thanks for the support!

[@RyBuys]

I'm about 70% done and I am loving Bayo 3. Definitely a great entry in this series. So far it's a 9 out of 10 for me personally.

[@TheSpeedfoever]

Waited 5 fucking years for this and it was finally worth the wait! This game is now my GOTY so far! Also funny that sales have gone up more now after the bullshit boycott! Remember people Boycott never wins at all it's winless!

[@aultra-magawhostandsagains7974]

I think it’s because hack and slash games also need to justify a 60 dollar price tag. Usually they’re only about 10-12 hours,and though replayable there should be a lot more than that. KH2 was a little ahead of it’s time even though being an ARPG,it still was a hack n slash game and gave players a lot of play time to mess around with in the worlds.

[@euanb3252]

Nearly at 150k subscribers dude, congrats. You deserve it.

[@tdotran]

Can’t wait to play it. Currently working on the new Mario + Rabbids game before diving in.

[@AtomicOwl]

That ending wasn't really such a fun ride, also I think it's funny that the controversy sold the game more

[@Sinistar1983]

Like an old saying, controversy sells

[@youwayo]

Streisand effect

[@XProjectHunterX]

The the ending was the only flaw for me as well and certain narrative choices but aside from that its a good game.

[@houragents5490]

I saw a guy go through the entire stages of grief when he saw that ending

[@ovan1148]

Yeah. The ending was kinda whack, but post credits makes me think our main cast will be back just fine for bayo 4.

[@matthewlugo2417]

Are we sure we played the same game?

[@TheMRWaffles12]

Currently playing through it and I’m having fun with it

[@thefonzpart]

Usually we have similar views on gaming stuff, but I just can’t justify that ending man. Like I’m surprised after the controversies with the game, the ending WASN’T another controversy which it should be. It reminds me of TLOU2 and Rise of Skywalker I agree with you with the trend of new characters being Mary/Gary Sues, and the ending still kills it for me even if they “humble” her because I don’t find cocky characters likeable. We do differ on multi-verses, I’m personally tired of them and think it’s played out. Especially since the first two games never implied a multiverse and instead had another trope called causal loop where the events of Bayo 2 make it so the events of Bayo 1 happen This game has too many things I dislike in modern media, so my Masquerade Edition will likely be staying sealed while I play other games in my backlog

[@mastermanchief21]

I really was hoping to have Jeanne be a total badass again but nooooo we had to have her get murked by Tilda Swinton 😭

[@omegafire6253]

I would be more excited for a switch 2 if most all backwards compatible games get exclusive updates.

[@nedzed3663]

It's a weird ride, this game is weird, especially compared to the first 2, but I'm having a blast playing through it. I'm only halfway in and can't say if I like it more than 2 yet but it's definitely one of the best games I've played this year and I've played some good ones already

[@SilverSpireZ]

Gameplay wise, this game is absolutely fantastic. Dare I say, it’s the best in the series. But man, the story seriously pissed me off at the end. It was not earned in the slightest, and felt like a slap in the face. (No spoilers here.) If you don’t care about that stuff, you’ll love it. But if you’re a fan of the lore, be prepared…

[@omegafire6253]

I got both physical copies of 1 and 2 and just picked up my box collectors of 3 and yet still haven't played either of them (a little of 2) but that xenoblade 3 had been eating me up as of August. Also splatoon 3 I'm yet to play.

[@Oggre]

Dont do the same mistake as me. Finish ur current games before buying new ones.

[@tipsy634]

i wonder if everyone here would change their tune once they reached the ending o_o probably feels great all the way through for newcomers but this game is a hard pill to swallow for fans of the first two games i mean that from the gameplay front too, what makes bayo series interesting to me is chemistry between player character and enemies, but 3 doesnt seem to think about enemy design at all, focusing instead on giving the player a variety of wonderful tools, but not really having much use for most of them...?

[@1plus2minus3]

True, and now also imagine being a Sony fanboy and being excited about a walking simulator called “God of War” 😂 hence why the saltines from them has been immense lol

[@JcgLounge]

I think as far as frame rate and visual quality goes, the game for the most part is fine. But if this were not exclusive to Nintendos hardware and we had this on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series S/X, and PC, the game would just look and feel so much better.

[@aeroZo_yt]

Where would her cameo would’ve been?

[@luluna5228]

i stopped playing it, it was kinda boring 7/10 while second was a point higher, everything was worse except graphics

[@luluna5228]

and level design

[@poundcake681]

This game feels like the mass effect 3 of the Bayonetta franchise tbh. The game was good-ish..? Idk

[@PikaLink91]

Honestly, the shift in VA was an improvement. Listening to them back to back it is clear who has the most experience in the business.

[@icetrey8662]

I still miss Helena as OG Bayonetta, though Jennifer sounds just like her but i don't think she has the range to play alternate dimension Bayonettas.

[@orangeslash1667]

@@icetrey8662 Helena has the better British accent but that not important in Bayo 3 because the setting is Japan.

[@Runedrace]

I like the game and I love the clock tower summon it comes with a mech.

[@WanderfromSOTC]

I totally get you about the kaiju things,I don't think anyone hates kaiju

[@jennyderr1426]

the reason it probibly has SO MUCH STUFF, is because this game was originally going to be an open world game.

[@epicguardian44]

I’m really glad I didn’t pick a side when the controversy came out

[@BulbaWhat98]

Never thought I'd hear "There's too much sh*t" in a review lol

[@joshuaknox2724]

i really do believe devs should make games within the scope of their respective consoles so users can have the best experience, i feel like bayonetta 3 is doing too much for that tiny cartridge, maybe what we should be discussing is a switch 2 nintendo is being too content with this old hardware customers deserve better and you know for sure this will get a remaster on it lol

[@joshuaknox2724]

oh i watched the rest of the video and you did bring up switch 2 :)

[@ShadowCringelord]

Thought this game was great, but I enjoyed 2 a lot more because it was much better paced than this game is. And there’s actually hit stun

[@natejoe9924]

Yes a switch to would be even better but you're going to have to wait a long time before you get it upgrade for the switch you might have to wait like one or two years maybe three

[@JustJulyo]

Almost bought the special edition over this controversy

[@natejoe9924]

Honestly I don't think that they need a switch to I think this need a midget upgrade a Nintendo switch Pro so this game could run better I think a pro would be more sufficient but they're not going to do that

[@TheConuresrule]

I got 60fps and 4k on my pc. Sad that nintendo has to keep up their gimmick bandwagon when they can just make a good console.

[@doddynuryanto3800]

Their handheld ans home console already merge. They never win on home console beside nintendo wii. They don't want to eepeat the same mistake

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

Imagine thinking there was a good reason to boycott this to begin with

[@charlescaulkins8306]

(humming) Imagine being druckmann, imagine being druckmann~ (as in I can imagine another similarly stupid video game backlash, but more so about TLOU2's sucky quality than missing out on something fun like B3)

[@denisruskin348]

The frame rate is a meme, and this is a fast paced game. Will grab it on the Switch 2/Pro or whatever they call it.

[@1plus2minus3]

The frame rate is smooth from someone who played it. The dips are invisible because the frame pacing and input latency is excellent. Game of the year.

[@denisruskin348]

@@1plus2minus3 you do you, but from what I’ve seen in Digital Foundry’s video, I’ll wait the 60fps version.

KZbinrs jumping the gun prematurely? Cough Cough "dreamcastguy". Lol

[@Shaes_Projects]

Bayonetta 3 is yet another stellar action game from Platinum! I love the demon summoning, the combos feel as fun as ever, and I really like the new character Viola and her Cheshire demon! All in all, I’m impressed and can’t wait to see what else Platinum does! I’m hoping for an Astral Chain sequel! Oh Helena Taylor. She’s done so much to sell the game from lying about pay and exploited people’s respect for her, insulting another voice actor who had no part of her beef with Platinum, lied about one of the most respected developers, and to top it off the charities she listed to donate to for any nonexistent boycotts included an anti trans group and an anti abortion group. There’s no chance she’ll get any roles after her stunt. She harmed what could have been a genuine labor movement or call to action for voice actors to receive better pay, and then she lied the entire time.

[@TowerArcanaCrow]

Yeah, I'd say good riddance to this shitheel

[@natejoe9924]

I am angry at you why didn't you boycott the game🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@freehigh9231]

You were one of the ones that picked Helena Taylor's side with absolutely NO PROOF. . . and now that you and all the others are looking like fools you don't even say "Sorry" . . .

[@sonic064]

Great game and love the new demon slave system but... the art style isn't very good (specially the lighting), Viola is bad character(design, personality and gameplay), the story is pretty bad, not weapon combination and no pickup weapons, and most of the cutscenes feels stiff. Bayonetta 3 is fun game but not the best of the trilogy, is 8 game.
