@@Crazy_2100 Specifically, they asked for the Link costume to show more cleavage. They MAY have asked for one of the skirts to be shorter, but I cannot remember if that was actually a thing.
Angel Slayr I know, right? This feminists preach body freedom as long as you do it the way they want, if you do anything that they consider “conventional”, you are a demonic nazi white man.
"Shouldnt a powerful, confident woman who has agency in her own story and isnt defined by her relationship to a man be a breath of fresh air?" THANK YOU
Literally as soon as Jirard was like "But she's not real, and we'll never meet her" I was like "Not true, Pamela Horton exists." and then lo and behold! That was a great bit.
I'm currently in the middle of a long ass Bayonetta run and the only thing I refuse to do is the 100% pure platinum run. I'll do everything else except that because that will push my sanity beyond its limit. I tried it, and it's just better for my own health if I don't lmao
Yeah that's too much for me. At most, I'll get 100% achievements but I won't 100% the game for sure. I love DMC1 the most out of all action games and even then getting 100% wore me out. And there was like less than half of unlockables as Bayonetta
The thing with bayonetta being over sexualized is most male action heroes also have skin tight outfits and perfect bodies, not to mention most of them flirt just as much as her.
Sputterbugz Well there is disagreement on whether she should be considered a sexist character. Obviously some aspects of her are sexist, but that can be said of a lot of characters (there is no such thing as perfect representation). There are aspects to the character that are quite feministic. She's a confident women who achieves her goals without male support. She is independent and charismatic, and she is very feminine and is occupying a role (action hero) that is generally thought of as being restricted to the masculine role (most women who fill that role are more masculine or at least play down their femininity). She is secure in her sexuality and often takes a more "dominant" role in the pseudo-sexual encounters displayed within the game. Feminism is not a hivemind. Feminist don't always agree on what is and is not sexist and there are many different branches of the theory. With that said, fourth wave feminism (most consider that fourth-wave started in the late 00's to early 10's, I personally think that it started in 2012 with the Everyday Sexism Project) lacks even more cohesion than did third-wave feminism. 4th wave is focused on the use of technology and social media to spread the movement. It focuses on issues of micro-sexist encounters, body/sex positivity, workplace/online harassment, representation, and the (so called) inclusion of other minorities (racial, disability, queerness, creed, age, class, and so on) into the movement and how this insects with forms of oppression (intersectionality). I don't think that they actually accomplish this as the very nature of social media kind of precludes it from be a reality. Disability, age, and class specifically can be real barriers to this wave of feminism. It's harder to have a voice within technology if you are poor, older people are often less familiar with technology (though that is not always the case, but is more likely), and disability can impede someone's ability to navigate the techno-sphere. This has led to many people defining 4th wave feminism as rich able-bodied white women feminism and I agree. How many contemporary feminists can you think of that cannot be defined by that label? Idk, I just don't think it's great that these people are representing and advocating for other groups that are not really well represented in their movement (and seems kind of hypocritical at that too). Well, I've rambled on too much, I am sure that you don't really care that much about my thoughts on the issue lol.
Bayonetta was the first game I ever got 1000/1000 achievement points on. Also infinite climax is a lot easier if you use the accessory that gets rid of witch time (its already gone anyway), and drops a big exploding bomb when you dodge in a way that would normally activate witch time
Rocky rex I agree 100%. I found it hilarious when I heard it. Hell… I find Enzo hilarious in general. But that’s just me. I’ve seen some reviews of this game where some people don’t like him. But that’s just their opinion.
All dwarves male or female have facial hair canonically in most fantasy settings, just as all girls in real life have underarm hair and peach fuzz. pretending doesn't make these things not real.
Always the best to see someone who loves the gameplay aspect of Bayonetta. Good job showcasing this game in its best form, and good work completing it fully.
My wife had never really looked at Bayonetta until smash announced her as a character. So I showed her some cutscenes and game play. Her response was "That's who I want to be when I grow up." We preordered the amiibo. I asked her what we should name it. She replied "Bada**".
Just too bad that so many people never gave Bayonetta the time of day till Smash. I got a lot of people trying to buy my European exclusive First Print Edition from me when she got announced.
@@Tanerion Wtf are you on? Sm4sh was based on popularity and she was number 1 in the west by a shit ton. People knew of her long long long before sm4sh. She was even in wonderful101 and Anarchy Reigns. She was never some noname. Edit: not to be rude, but are actually just wrong. Dante, Hyabusa, Kratos and Bayo were the top action games the moment they came out and exceedingly praised in the niche genre she was a part in as tied with Dante.
Okami would be nice. Problem is, the game would probably take a while on what I would already imagine is a taxing schedule. Getting all the fish was a major time sink for me, not to mention feeding all the animals was a nightmare. That being said, I don't think it would take as nearly as much time as Bayonetta has or some of the game that the achievements are based on multiplayer shenanigans .
Stray Beads are worth it though. Infinite Health, Ink Gauge and x10 Attack and Magic if memory serves me correctly, and getting the Cherry Blossom rank on everything else for the other skins to play around with are a nice reward. The others (treasure, fish, the bestiary), unless if he was playing the HD PS3 version, there wouldn't be any incentive for them and the HD version just gives you the achievement.
XVII Having completed it shortly after getting a PS3 last year, I don't think it would be a huge timesink. I completed it in maybe four days, and Jirard has had many games take the full week. What makes Okami quicker is because, unlike Bayonetta, it's literally impossible to die in it, and there's not really any ranking system.
I just want to say that this is the only game I know of where the Achievements and Trophies actually MEAN something in-game. It's so rare, but so relieving! If you go for the Platinum trophy, you can believe that that will be reflected in your actual save file with something.
Hideki created her.... so to speak, Mari Shimazaki (Shimako) though was her designer.... a female artist at Platinum. I love all this talk sometimes you hear about oh bayo is soo over sexualised typical male creation etc..... yet they are all wrong :D
At the same time most games have male protagonists that are either ripped and chiseled, tall fair and handsome, are a mix of the above with godlike skill sets that transcend any man in the planet. Females may be over sexualized like Bayonetta, but males are as well. I just don't get why all the complaining happens when these kind of female characters show up.
@@colddripgaming They were making a joke, if you reread the conversation. And in my opinion? Yes, there's a difference between being a sex object and being attractive. However, very often when a character is criticized for being nothing more than a sex object... they are simply attractive.
This is probably one of my favorite episodes. I enjoyed your segments and your explanations on the matter the game presents. Also kudos to Pamela for dropping in on this one, that segment made me smile.
I think we all forgot that Bae-onetta has the life saver, if you don’t know what.. then here’s the saying: “Thick thighs, save lives” also THERES NO RIVER, W I D E R T H A N A M I L E! I M C R O S S I N G Y O U I N S T Y L E.
You know... (after finally being able to watch this video) being a fan of Bayonetta and Pamela Horton... having her in this episode was actually a shock and pretty damned awesome.
I love how the demons that dante fought as bosses in the first Devil May Cry ended up being Bayonetta's summons (phantom/spider, gryphon, etc) PS: i also loved Bayonetta!!!
Bayonetta's one of those amazing games I started and had to stop, for whatever reason. This review has reminded me a lot, of what I loved about the game. So I'll tackle the game again, hopefully in 2017 or early 2018. Also looking forward to seeing Jirard play and complete Shovel Knight again, since it'll likely have all 3 additional campaigns and Amiibo support.
Javierm0n0 Fly me to the Moon, And let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words, hold my hand… In other words, Darling kiss me. Fill my heart with song, and let me sing forever more. You are all I long for, all I worship and adore. In other words, please be true… In other words, I love you.
Milky MiLk yes… And it’s the same lyrics, just with a guy singing instead of a girl. That’s the only difference. Oh… And it’s much jazzyerr given Frank Sinatra was a jazz/swing singer. whatever you want to refer to it as.
Please complete Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn and do back to back episodes please! Just keep in mind you have to do them both at the same time because completing Radiant Dawn requires you transferring over save data from Path of Radiance. You can only hold five saves for PoR at a time and you'll need at least 6 playthroughs to get the support conversations for every character pairing. On top of that you need to complete it an additional 9 times to unlock all the characters for the trail battles. Just remember not to do the first 6 play throughs on "easy" as the USA easy mode doesn't exist in Japan and Europe and Radiant Dawn will glitch out if you have any easy mode saves on your memory card. As far as Radiant Dawn At least Maniac mode isn't that bad other than the Dawn Brigade levels. ...Love ya Jiraid!
I love this game and character so much, I even picked up a Nintendo Switch almost solely so that I could play the remastered first and second games and wait impatiently for the third. It is just bonkers and I have played it over and over again. That being said though I will NEVER be able to complete it. I simply do not have the reflexes needed to be absolutely perfect (especially against Gracious and Glorious, those fuckers). Major props to you for doing it all so beautifully. Any chance you might do an episode on Bayonetta 2?
The Wii U is a super underrated console. Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, and Xenoblade Chronicles X by themselves were enough to justify the console for me. Smash 4 was icing on the cake, PLUS the 100% Wii backwards compatibility make it an amazing console to own.
As people mentioned it's Pamela Horton, she was one of the main people for Gamer Next Door and Jirard was a guest on a few streams and stuff so he knows her.
So here's an idea. What if Platinum made a Sonic Game? Just Think about it! I've been dying to know what a Sonic styled fast paced beat-em-up action game would be like since Unleashed and Boom brought up the idea, before falling flat on their respective faces. I think it'd be like Sonic Heroes, not in the team gameplay aspect, although that would be cool, but they'd have sections of enemies you have to take out to progress, but instead of spamming the homing attack, there'd be actual combat. And maybe doing well in the combat sections could take seconds off your time, or be included in the ranking system some how And i don't mean to hate on Unleashed, as i actually really like that game, but the werehog is not what i wanted out of a Sonic the Hedgehog Beat-em-Up
@@yoyokai117 Black Knight's problem is motion control combine with endless run mobile game genre. If it had been on other console and had not had that genre mix in, it would have been decent
11:30 Alex = Me every time I'm at a con and a cute cosplayer talks to me. 11:30 Jirard = Me every time I'm at a con when a cute cosplayer is talking to my friend
It's just typical gamer lingo. You'll always have 200 favorite games of all time. They each bring their own individual flavor and uniqueness to the table and so it's okay to have a "favorite" game of all time even if that means it's way more than just one.
Either you haven't played any of the games or you skipped every cutscene, Dante is literally brimming with personality. He's suave, cool, cocky and boisterous. Yet at the sametime being a half human gives him a sense humanity that keeps him grounded and allows him to have genuine moments of emotions. I am not saying he's some masterpiece of a character but calling him boring and without a personality? Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
One criticism I still have about the modern Completionist videos: This facade that you're completing these games from 0 to 100% in a week every time. In this one, you even said that you've been working to complete the game for a long time in the cold open, and then later do the "I'm afraid of all the difficulty levels, because I have to do all this in a week" thing! I know, it's such a minor thing, and I'm being generic RU-vid complainer right now, but lines like that take me out of the video. Everything else, I love, as always, it's just that one teeeeensy thing.
That facade died permanently after the Skyrim episode. The weekly tempo is clearly on a game-by-game basis now. Plus, it's not really even a facade when he explicitly informs that it took a long time. And even then, being scared of the difficulty levels is totally valid, it's not like Jirard does anything in a slow, lax manner anyway.
HeapOfBones I mean, like I said, in this video he both said he DIDN'T complete the game in a week and not five minutes afterwards that it'd be a challenge for him to do so, so there's still an attempt to keep that narrative going. There's a disconnect between the on-camera and voiceover scripts, that's where my nitpick is!
But it is still a challenge to do all the difficulty levels? At no point does he say that it's a challenge _because_ he's doing it in a week, that's just an assumption you're adding due to that being a part of it in the past (for some games). The challenge of completion has a lot of aspects, not just the (potential) time limit.
I bet Jirard is gonna review a Metroid game next week. I can feel it in my gut. Which one exactly? I dunno, probably a 2D one. Edit: Sorry, forgot what day it was.
Huh, now that i think about it you would be perfectly fine completing xenoblade chronicles, i mean look at THIS, but i would appreciate it if you would still complete it, i mainly just want to hear what you think about the story and everything, whether you decide to or not, thanks anyway
I agree. I loved that game and was disappointed when he stopped doing the livestreams of it. I wish they'd play it for Beard bros. It's been a long time since they've done an RPG and that would be a great one to do
As someone who isn't a completionist - I went out of my way to 100% Bayonetta. I did everything Jirard(?); got Sai-Fung, the Climax Bracelet, all the Tears of Blood etc. and all I gotta say is... Completely worth it.
Mister Shots Thank you! Between the Eggman reference, the ring collectibles and the Eyes of the World's similarity to Chaos Emeralds I am starting to have my suspitions.
Dude.... This blows my mind! I had such a hard time with this game when it first came out that I straight up rage quit. But I'm going back to it after many years. This game game has Soo much more than what I thought it did. Amazing!
Recently got my hands on the remaster and I've finished it 4 times. Every time I play this game I think to myself "they will probably never make a game like this again" which is just sad
KG Games This silver award is actually given to players that complete this specific chapter as the characters Luka and Cereza haven’t been met yet, and to avoid spoilers it includes this statue which is actually meant to be Rosa, Bayonetta’s mother
its like DMC had a baby with dead or alive. i bought a Wii U just to play this game (and pt2), but then it came out on steam.... so i guess i bought a wiiU to literally play 1 game. im still terrible... but ive never had so much fun being terrible. also, apparently i should just wait for anything i buy to go on sale because i never use anything i buy until theyre like 3 years old anyway.
Unless you are good with the game, used the right style and weapons for the right scenario or the combo video master, players like Girald ain't gonna get it because like Pure Platinum, you gotta get S in EVERY category. While Easy and Normal was more lenient about taking damage (1 or 2 hit) while Timing and Item were none of an issue but Style Points and Orbs are difficult due to how fragile the enemies were. Not to mention the combo meter was rather strict in DMC3. starting from Hard to DMD or VMD, getting no hit for EVERY STATGE required you to know the advance stuffs like Jump Cancels, Royal Block or Distored Impact. IDK if the Super costume will penalized your score yet but then there was Mission 19 when half way through, YOUR DT WAS DISABLED!!!!
+Darryl DMC paved the way to many stylish Hack n' Slash. W/o DMC, there will be no God of War, Dante's Inferno or Bayonetta. Hideki Kamiya admitted that he had to play half of DMC4 before making Bayonetta. He also stated that if there wasn't DMC, there wouldn't be Bayonetta. They maybe quite different but came from the same root. It was like how you played Dracula X over Rondo of Blood which gave Richter a bad name. Also, It's D *M* C not D *m* C. We will NEVER speak of that bastardized child again.
Oh, I see. I mean, although I literally only have one Platinum game (which is obviously Bayonetta.) and DMC4 demo, I see how DMC worked it's way through games.
The thing about Bayonetta is that the "female empowerment" aspect about it is actually just objectification, when you take into account with the revealing sexual stuff and all. And you honestly can't empower women as great human beings by objectifying them like some other sex toy, which is what they're clearly doing here with Bayonetta...
I will still love the dialogue from the earlier part of the game. Bayonetta: How do you Americans put it? *Speaks with an American accent* Bust a cap in yo ass? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love how Bayonetta's last third fights make RU-vid's compressing absolutely sweat. The utter chaos of, let's say fight a priest flying on peacock feathers on a piece of building falling down is peak Bayo.
I'm just gonna say, NEVER review Shadow the Hedgehog! You'd play through the main story 326 times. No. Don't do it. There's no reward. Look at it. Donate it.
