Bayonetta 3 Thread

[BrawlMan]

Ok that’s great for Nintendo to do that, but still doesn’t eliminate the fact people who played the original would now need to buy a Switch or Wii U (eww) to play the sequel(s), where the first only sold a fraction of the original as well. I’d be more inclined to blame SEGA moreso for piss-poor management and marketing than praise Nintendo for assisting in this case.

Cry me a river. Unfortunately, that's how business goes in the AAA gaming industry. You need to be thinking about the system. And there's a reason why I put Sega on the list for a reason. They have poor management. Sony and Microsoft still made a choice. Either one of them could have easily said yes, and they chose not to make the decision. So they still shall take partial blame. I know Sony and Microsoft fanboys that are/were angry, but not all of them cared for, nor played Bayonetta. A lot of the ones that got angry, only played the game once, didn't care in the first place, and only started caring when Nintendo picked up the IP.

I've worked retail for years, I know a Karen haircut when I see one.

I worked in retail for a few years myself, and most women with that type of haircut didn't act like any "Karen" I know of. Most were pretty cool, kept themselves, or didn't act like jackasses.

I can't help but feel you have some misplaced anger or retribution to somebody that did nothing to you. You want to get mad at somebody, get mad at the jackass customers, not the character that actually does something useful with her life. You have fun dealing with with that problem of yours.

Well that's an unusually hostile reply. I just think Bayo looks like a Karen in 2. Because of the haircut.

There is nothing hostile. I'm just pointing out a comment that has nothing do with anything, and telling you like it is. Ending it there, cuz I am not doing this constant back and forth. Just be happy we're getting a 3 and something new to look at.

I’d just like to see a PC port for these sequels eventually, as the soonest I’d probably be looking at a new Nintendo system would be whatever they do next anyways.

I think there's a modicum of hostility in telling me about "misplaced anger" and to "have fun with that problem of yours" but ok. I'd ask for your manager myself.

Bwuh? We're all making comments about her look.

Eh, I'm not into spectacle fighters. I enjoyed Dante's Inferno, but I love hell themes and lovecraftian gothic stuff, so it was right up my alley. The rest, God of War, Bayonetta, the Devil May Care games, I'm missing a few others, they just don't do anything for me. The gameplay looks more annoying that challenging, and the characters/setting aren't the Inferno, so not sure why they bothered.

Who knows what we're going to get this time. Just wait and see. Plenty of demons did show up in the second game that you had to fight, so there you go. You even go into hell halfway into the game. Dante's Inferno was just average. It has some neat ideas and twists, but it held no interest for me.

You're the one that brought up Karen in the first place dude. If you didn't like it, that would have been fine enough So there's definitely some some misplaced anger on your part. Otherwise not falling in the trap, so you have a good one.

I wouldn't mind either, but that's most likely not going to happen.

Haircuts To Avoid So You Don't Look Like A 'Karen'

There are some common themes in all "Karen" haircuts.

It seems pretty much anything could be a Karen haircut by that site’s logic

Anyways for reference it was about making her look “more masculine” -

Thank Goodness, The Burning Mystery Of Bayonetta 2's New Haircut Is Finally Explained

"I think her shorter hair gives her a generally more masculine look."

www.nintendolife.com

Sorry Abby but she beat you to it.

My main point of contention would be her hair in the first game was an integral part of her design, style and appeal. In 2 she just looks like the devs were pandering towards the trend of the week.

Thank you for the info. I still disagree and I don't think they were just following a trend of the week. It's pretty clear they wanted to do something different and there's nothing wrong with that. You can unlock her original costume after beating the game the first time, so it is not a complete lost.

All I said was that Bayo has the Karen haircut in 2, I don't know what the hell you're on about misplaced anger.

I've already stopped caring and moved on. I suggest you do the same.

If You Want Bayonetta 3 On PlayStation Or Xbox, Hideki Kamiya Says To Tell Nintendo

Platinum Games is only developing the game and not funding or publishing it

Bayonetta 3 may 'share a feature' with Scalebound, says ex-PlatinumGames dev

Bayonetta 3 is being directed by the former lead designer of Scalebound – and the game may even pilfer a mechanic from the cancelled title.

www.vg247.com

Not surprising and very noticeable in the trailer. This is as close as we're going to get to a Scalebound game now. I'm okay with this. It sucks Microsoft still owns the actual IP and title, but oh well. They had a good idea and they screwed up. I know it was a case of fault on both parties, I still say Microsoft shares the majority of the blame. Them canceling Scalebound, what pretty much made me not buy an Xbox One.

Just can’t help but wonder how good this game would look on a modern system. Before anyone says “But the Switch is current gen!” keep in mind it’s still behind the performance benchmark of the other last gen consoles.

While you do have a point, I still consider the Switch current gen regardless. They're still making new games, and the ones of the AAA variety are still $60+. Plenty of indie games are still being released on the system too. I would like the sequels on multiple consoles as well, but as we've seen before, that's most likely not going to happen. At least the first game is on PC and modern consoles. Then again, No More Heroes 1 and 2 are getting PC ports, so anything's possible. Yet, I wouldn't hold my breath.

My takeaway from this is that we should stop using "current gen" or "next gen" to refer to framerates and graphics, because that's not what those terms mean.

True and I was mostly being facetious in pointing that out, but the point still stands that Nintendo has been consistently behind the curve. Thinking of it, the pricing of their games should also reflect that, but never will due to the exclusivity and people continuing to accept it without question.
