Imo when people when talk about platinum it isn't very common that people discuss it. It's just as good or almost as good as anything they have developed.
On behalf of Helena Taylor I donated to Walmart and they gave me a copy of the game in return. I actually wasn't going to buy the game but I did after all of her lying
I was hoping falcon would mention the VA change and how it worked for this game. I am glad to see the game is good and people see to be enjoying it. Makes me happy when someone as entitled as Ms. Taylor seems to be, gets a reality check, and the fans get a good product.
I'll never understand how she thought this would work out in her favor. She just destroyed her career. No one will hire her after this nonsense, she's not worth the trouble because she's not famous enough that her name can carry a game. Did she really think the studio wouldn't respond with facts/receipts? She likely believed her name carried way more weight than it does (none). Really stupid move.
My only problem with this game is I feel like it's being held back by the hardware in a very impacting way. Makes me sad it's not something at the PS4 lvl at least.
yeah well tough luck, the only reason we have Bayonetta 3 (or 2 for that matter) is because Nintendo footed the bill because neither Sony or Microsoft wanted to pay for the game so you can blame that one on them
I love Astral Chain too. That game is a really great example of one player controlling two characters at the same time. The Infernal Demons are more of an extension of or a tag-in for Bayonetta.
I played Bayonetta 1 until yesterday and got into Bayonetta 3 today. Love the gameplay and controls. The graphics are okayish. My only complaint is that the photo mode sucks. The graphics are so pixelated in the photo mode and it looks worse than the in game graphics. I’m not sure if I’m missing any setting.
Funny you say that, im inclined to believe it’s a bug. Because in every photo mode ever made the game jumps to its highest possible resolution while in photo mode. Is a still image, no alpha effects, it’s easier for the game to manage. But here I’ve tested it a few times and it’s almost as if it drops down to below 540p as soon as you open it. And it really just dosent make much sense. Hopefully they figure it out and maybe fix it up because I love playing around with photo modes in games. But frankly if that’s the one thing that sucks in this game I’m fine with that because everything else rocks!
I just got into Bayonetta last year. My first time way before this, my reaction was "I don't really get it". But now it's "I don't really get it" in a positive light. This franchise stands out so much on it's own. I'm DROOLING with anticipation to play the 3rd.
The gameplay is so well done in these games. I wish more of these style games came back and they would make another God of War like the older ones. Thanks for the review!
I didn't buy a switch until Bayonetta 3 was announced. So I have been waiting for this game for years. Really enjoying the game so far. They brought back alot of the good elements from the previous 2 games. Haven't finished the game yet so can't judge the story but I am loving the combat.
Yeah this new entry to the series is really good for the gameplay options it has. I did like Bayonetta 2 more as far as colors go, but Bayonetta 1 had the best gameplay and I think 3 is doing what it can to replicate that feeling again just in a different light.
For those worrying that the gameplay might become too much "puppet mastery" with Bayonetta, as you can use the demons for a long while (i know i was worried about it), it really depends on you, you can just keep controling the demons for extended periods of time, OR you can decide to quickly summon them, pop 2 commands and then release the button and keep playing on your own while the demon finishes the attacks, wich is actually pretty effective! You can also use "flash attacks" in wich you simply press the summon button at the end of the combo so they come deliver a big blow at the end (kinda replicating how it worked on Bayo 2 when umbran climax was on). So don't worry too much about it, but do experiment a little with what i said, because i seen a lot of gameplay of people not figuring that out and just controlling the demons a long while.
Thank you SO MUCH for this Review, i was really unsure about this game, i first looked up on another Review from IGN and that one was kinda ominous and probably more negativ about the game. But this Video makes me wanna buy the game so much, you guys've never let me down with your recommendations so far and now Im really looking forward for this game, seriously big shout out to you guys
Good review, Sir Falcon. I'm gonna be grabbing this. I was just awaiting the reviews. Kinda knew it would be solid, but with all that drama I was slightly worried. DMC5 and Nier:Automata solidified my love for this genre and I loved the first Bayonetta. I didn't play the 2nd game yet, so I might just play it after this one.
I have to talk about Loading Screens and Transitions.. These are the best Loading Screens and Gameplay Transitions in gaming. Period. Going from gameplay to story or gameplay to loading screen and back again is some of the best I've ever seen. Not only did it improve on the previous games but it's so smooth.
Bayonetta 3 is the next evolution for the series. While Bayo 2 was more iterative and can be reduced to "more of the same" as Bayo 1, Bayo 3 is brimming with new innovations for the gameplay. They took everything they learned from Bayo 2, Astral Chain, and probably a lot of stuff from Scalebound and made something amazing.
My only 2 complaint about this game and I dont know if this would count as a spoiler but I wanted to go more universes and see more versions of Bayonetta, and it's implied that every game we play is a different Bayonetta from a different verse
I absolutely LOVE... watching these videos about games I've never even played the prequels to lol I want to, but we all know how it goes with backlogs.
C.C. : " - takes on a dimension hopping being known as Singularity and a seemingly endless army of.. Monkey lies." Closed Captioning is coming up with the real ideas for game devs everywhere. 😂
I got this game of a family member who knows I'm a huge devil may cry fan but I never got into bayonetta but since I got the 3rd one I brought the first two OH MY GOD HOW HAVE I NEVER PLAYED THESE like I'm still on the first one but I know I'm going to love this series forever
Falcon: "If you are not the type of person who likes this kind of humor as I very much am." Me, who relates to Falcon a bit too much sometimes: "Welp, gonna have to buy this game now."
I got this on release day, still waiting for it to arrive, i'm not jazzed about the performance issues and the dithering but it is what it is with Nintendo stubbornly refusing to give us more powerful hardware, that being said, i'm still really looking forward to playing this one (random end point but i wish SEGA would announce Persona 6 already too)
...My favorite Platinum Games title (and what I think is their best work IMO) is Astral Chain. In point-of-fact, it may arguably be one of the best titles in the Switch's entire library.
I'm sure before falcon sat down to record this he took a big breath in because he knew the comments would just be a shitstorm XD Just remember, it's not about you falcon and you did a great job on the review as always
blame Sony and Microsoft, the only Bayonetta 2 and 3 exist is because Nintendo pay for them when neither of the other two wanted to so tough luck for them
Back when Platinum was searching for a home, for Bayonetta. Everyone turned them down, but Nintendo. We are fortunate, and lucky the series is continuing still
@Passing Stranger do not listen to XXZenon. They are one of those puppets. It is available digitally on Switch, all 3 games in the series. Or the first game is also on PC. 2 was on Wii U. 3 is Switch exclusive.
Not very far in yet but I love it so far. The visuals and villain is incredible. He's been a blast and a half. I will say, I am feeling more at home with the demon summoning here as it feels like an extension of Platinum Games last big Nintendo outing, Astral Chain. I'm lucky in the fact that my skills with that game do have some direct bleed over it seems. That being said I still have a lot to learn and get better at.
It seems like this is a videogame for people who just love videogames. It's a gamer's game. Nothing pretentious; it's not trying to have a super emotional story, lifelike graphics, etc. It's just a fun-ass game.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 You do realize casuals are what make or break how successful a game is, right? That’s the reason a majority of sequels get made.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 Casuals most certainly do make or break a game's success. Why do you think COD, Fortnite, Overwatch, Rocket League, and others are so popular? Why do you think Guilty Gear Strive became so successful? It's not because of the hardcore audience. It's because casuals like it. If you don't think casuals make or break a game's success you are living under a rock. You can appeal to casuals without "undoing" what has already been done. Even MVCI, which is hated by most of the hardcore and praised for it's gameplay, did well due to casuals. Your ignorance is showing buddy.
@Heroes Never Quit i disagree. I know a lot of casuals that tried those games and found out they weren’t for them. Unfortunately, they already paid for them. So they own them. Elden Ring brought in a surprising amount of casuals to the game. Being as it was fairly easy for a Souls game.
@@KainsAddiction yup she really manipulated everyone , you can have a debate for 15k , but intentionally misleading us and attacking the new voice actress was downright horrendous
@@Sailed_away what’s crazier is she should have lost sympathy from people when she called for a boycott. Wishing failure on a project is the worst thing you can do.
@@InnerRise Yeah keep riding that lie, $4000 per session for 5 sessions = $20,000, not $4000 for all of it. If anyone is greedy it's helena, she does way less work than the developers, and expects a six figure sum plus residuals. 🤡
i was a bit put off by the visuals when i first saw the game, but the amount of shit that happens in the gameplay more than makes up for it. i can't imagine this game running on the switch if it looked like bayonetta 2
I appreciated how early you were able to get some of the accessories without replaying a level 3+ times. That said, I'm the clown that played most of the game with Gaze of Despair on, and my score got murdered for it.
@@xxzenonionnex7658 no. I didn't forget about Yuzu....problem with Yuzu is we have no idea how Bayo 3 will run on it at first. Not every Switch game runs well on Yuzu yet.
I can't afford to buy it this week bc of Halloween, but I've been watching a playthrough on RU-vid. It's surprisingly fun to watch, especially the beginning 50min. The only boring bits are the exploration bits.
@@koboldbiopellet why tell everyone your finances they don’t know you and you don’t know them unless you’re expecting someone to feel sorry for you 🤦♂️
Just started playing Bayonetta 3 last week, does anyone know how to save your game process. Because I don’t see the save option and once I close the game to return back to Chapter 1 it brings me back to the beginning of Chapter 1 instead of my progress in the chapter unless the game only saves one Chapter at a time.
environments look kinda dull and empty. especially in the scenes where the mc is super small fighting a big boss it all looks not very good tbh. especially with constant splashes of effects, it all gets mixed up. but i guess you wouldnt notice it during great gameplay, you will focus on the gameplay and fights, so its not that important. Its just that watching this video I was very focused on the visuals.
I didn't even know a new Bayonetta was in the works! I was actually kinda worried the franchise had died and would never come back. Thanks for absolutely smashing this review and giving me a pleasant surprise!
If I may ask why is skill roof being to high a con? With games like this being a bit less long then other AAA the point is to master the combat just look dmc with the style ranking?
