What?
Latest cope trying to defend the casualification of the game is saying only trannies hate it because Bayonetta dances with a black guy.
tldr: Ganker has brain rot.
What the frick do you do here? I can't get enough witch time duration to actually damage the floccus.
I'm stuck too. This shit requires perfect parrying crap but I swear to god it feels inconsistent as frick on the last enemy. Not to mention the fricking sniper frick that shits on it's ass while you wait to bait it's parries. This his tis just fricking annoying and already makes me hate playing Viola.
looks like a mobile game challenge screen
that UI looks cheap as shit
The entire budget was spent on the level select screen.
That's modern gaming. Everything has the same font and simple design.
the trick if you're still stuck is to summon cheshire during witch time when fighting the floccus. that seems to extend the witch time duration and cheshire will do huge damage to him.
wave 1 you use the stratus' attacks to block and witch time fight the cavum and then deal with the stratus
Why doesn't Yuzu or Ryujinx recognize the game?
>gameplay discussion
>when it crashes every other cutscene
still doesn't work
Works on my 5900x and 1070
Doesn't work, gay.
i had more luck on my 10. something version.
I'll just wait until either YuzuBlack folk or RyuBlack folk patch it, can't be assed to fricking downgrade drivers or other moronic shit
Is there also a Bayo 2 Outfit?
not sure but I would assume so
got more of those bayonetta doing sexy dances wembs ?
not really
Bayonetta 2 design looks like a troony. Fight me if you disagree.
Sure, let's fight. What's your problem with pixie cuts?
It's literally the only time Bayonetta looked attractive. You're a child.
Since when mommy design is mentally ill?
Wait, I though there was no kick weapons ?
There's still a kick button, it's just the weapons are full body and you have 3 you choose to switch between on the fly instead of 2 sets of Hand + Foot.
That's actually a neat trade off
There's no foot slot, whatever weapon you've got equipped has its own sets of punches and kicks.
For the pistols you get the usual moveset, but for weapons that would be otherwise locked to the hand slot in previous games, they get a full moveset now.
so instead of mixing weapons now every weapon has a unique or sort of unique full body moveset?
Like instead of punches and kicks, the club has overhead bashes and wide sweeps.
The game's already utterly overwhelming with all the combos you start out with.
>japanese """humor"""
It's the best Platinum game since W101, which isn't saying a lot but it is better than 2.
Is there any returning weapon like the Shuraba in 2?
Jump and kick
Fly around like a butterfly
Jump and kick
Hit the bad thing with a big arm
Jump and kick
Hyaa!
Shoot it
Jump and kick
I just want to know if it's an improvement over bayo 2.
yea
Yes.
The critics said that it's fun but the combat is not as precise as 2.
2's combat is not very precise. UC aside, the need for WT or Weaves to even damage certain enemies is limiting, and while I like the weapon lineup many of them have really basic limited movelists. UC itself railroads Magic use and in almost every instance just lets you slam against enemies to delete them. Some of the best verse scores I've gotten in 2 looked really sloppy.
Then there's the Sage fights and flying boss fights which explicitly give up precision for spectacle. Trying to get a good clean run on any Lumen Sage fight is an exercise in frustration.
Critics don’t know jack fricking shit about action games.
>2
>Precise
lmfao.
we wont know until people have had time with the game
bayo 2 only really falls apart on the higher difficulties where enemies become health sponges that constantly block/dodge and your only option is to spam UC, but before that point it's a lot more balanced
so how is it compared to the first two games? more like the first one or more like 2, I supposed based on what they've shown with the summons it's more like 2?
I'm liking it way more than 2. It's the best parts off kamiya's latest games put together. For example, instead of umbran climax you can now choose to extend your combos with summons, making your weaked weaves hit even harder, this is very similar to the combo system in astral chain.
>making your weaked weaves hit even harder
They are still nerfed out of the box just like in 2.
>this is very similar to the combo system in astral chain
Like it has sync attacks? Frick yeah now I’m actually interested in playing it
Kinda funny how Platinum has become the summoner action game studio
You get sync attacks where you press ZL at the end of a combo string to summon your slave for an extra attack but you can also bring the demon out at any time during a regular combo as well.
Feels pretty good to use.
Does 3 have tag climax?
So it doesn't? I'm gonna skip this then. Maybe 4 will be better.
>no tag climax
>releasing an action game in 2000+22 with no free mode to just frick around and fight shit in without having to redo the story
It better fricking be added in a later update or else this is automatically worse than both 2 and DMC5
All Bayonetta games instantly throw you into the action and grade you for every little mistake. I fricking hate it. Teach me how to play the game before you judge me, ffs.
I thought Tag climax was a co op bloody palace type mode.
It could be played solo?
>It could be played solo?
Yes but you have to use an ai partner.
Tag Climax mostly sucked due to the format. The other character always got in the way, the 3-star versions of most Verses were absolutely insane and probably not given a single thought for balance, and they locked two whole playable characters behind it. I really like Rodin but barely played him because TC just was not very fun.
No. You don't need another human player but it will saddle you with an AI.
I thought it was good because it let me fight and practice against every enemy and boss in the game without having to go through the stages again.
>The other character always got in the way
The only character who gets in the way is Rosa with how quickly she dies. I didn't find the rest annoying since they can handle themselves for the most part.
>the 3-star versions of most Verses were absolutely insane
Only the ones that spring a human boss on you in them. I thought the 3 stars for the large enemies and bosses like Belief and Urbane were fun. Either way I'd be fine if it didn't come back but not at least having some copy/paste of Bloody Palace in 3 is shitty.
It's called the witch trials you absolute moron
Witch trials don't let you pick individual encounters and enemies to fight like Tag Climax or even DMC5's BP does frickhead. Not all bosses are in them either and their difficulty is preset instead of being configurable like in TC.
people never discuss how based pic rel was.
every reddit homosexual cries how he should have just told them they did a good job instead of hurting their feelings but he was 100% in the right.
literally who played tag climax with Bayo 2's dogshit combat
Where's the actual nsp and not the xci converted one?
Doesn't exist yet because the game isn't officially out. Use the converted NSP. Works fine.
See
for it, might take a min or so to load in your torrent client.
See
for how it runs and how to get it to run using the old driver for nvidia plus 15.0.0 firmware and prod.keys for ryujinx, etc
I was planning on running it on my switch, but I can wait for the actual nsp to release.
Why? The xci works fine on a v1 switch
*clonk*
Well well well seems like my Bayonetta 3 just dropped and with a free steelbook.
You got your actual copy now?
I preordered it but got tired of waiting and started playing it on pc
>steelbook
frick euros
Demon slave breaks the game even more than UC
Oh for frick sake, please tell me you're joking
I have two questions. 1. I saw people doomposting and saying the weapon movesets were cut in half or are smaller than they were in 1/2. Is this true in any way and how do the new weapons compare to older ones?
2. When Demon Slave is active and Bayo is dancing can we ever see her from the front? This is less important but important nonetheless.
I love kissing men and playing Bayobeta!
so how often do you actually play as Viola? is it comparable to the DMC4 Dante/Nero split or as you still Bayo most of the time
It's like V in DMC5, she has a way smaller kit and fewer chapters and essentially acts as a character to break up the gameplay style a bit. The meat is is still Bayo.
I'm on level 3, game's just Bayo 2 with gimmicks. So far the demon summons are absurdly overpowered; you can't use them in every battle but they utterly trivialize everything where you can. Shitmobs are unusually hard to dodge, I'm getting grace'd & glory'd while fricking jamming the dodge button like a madman.
The club's delayed combo timing seems to randomly not work too, super unreliable. reminds me of Okami on the Wii, like it's a combo only if the game feels like it at the moment.
>says mechanic is op but losing constantly
>mashes dodge button instead of timing with enemy attacks
>doesn’t understand combo timing for slow weapons
It sounds like you‘re just bad at the game
how about you fricking morons akshually post more about the gameplay instead of shitting out one liners or even one word replies
you haven't even played the game have you
I just got done playing it for 2 hours. What do you want to talk about?
The animations look awesome, Bayo does a little dance at the end of every move if you idle. Also back + forward + X rules.
what's the overall feel of the game, is the feedback as good as in the first two, is it slower paced like some homosexuals said, how prevalent is summong/are torture attacks useful again etc
Feels like a level pack of 2, but it's faster paced if anything. I've yet to see a walking segment, though I usually miss a few optional battles, torture attacks are used on stunned enemies that get stunned by summoning which you can do a lot. The cutscenes are too long.
I played the prologue, saw that it ran like absolute shit and stopped playing it. Even OC doesn't help. They should've just capped it at 30fps.
>constant framedrops
>incorrect framepacing and microstuttering
>reviewers say it's mostly 60fps and that it's fine
What in the actual frick are they smoking? The moment you start playing you can clearly see it dropping frames and stuttering even without a frame counter. I understand normalgays not seeing any framedrops because they don't care about it, but reviewers should take notice of this shit, it's their fricking job to play vidya.
PlatinumEngine run smoothly on Nintendo’s hardware.
I need werewolf gameplay.
Feels great leaping around inside buildings. Kick kick kick kick erases everything.
The game is running 30-50 fps with big stutters for me which is fricking cancer i just want to play the fricking game
whats your hardware? it won't be fully smooth for months, but it on switch
1080ti i7700k 16gb 3200
Switch has issues as well. See
Yeah it does but that's different from shader stuttering.
True but I doubt it'll take months for it to be fully playable on an emulator. XC3 was way bigger and it was pretty much fully playable before release, after more people played it and uploaded their precompiled shaders it was fully playable soon after release.
Sounds very unlikely, even XC2 has enormous graphical glitches and random crashes still unfixed.
>XV3
I don't care about that cuck game. XB2 is STILL fricked, 5 years later.
Yeah, I stopped playing after like 45 minutes, it's just not enjoyable.
>gomorrah gets shin godzilla back lasers
>in addition to hitting nothing, it tanks the framerate to 4.3 fps
sasuga
im not sure
Bayo1 was action game with witch time, parrying ans stuff. 2 was somewhat like 1.
3 is like i dunno. you can frick the combat, the combos, the evading, the witch time, and just SUMMON DEMONS, and kill evenies. besides, areas are HUGE, i dunno, this is WHOLE ELDEN RING big maps, and you SUMMON DEMONS on them, they could ve made openworld game.
anyway the game feels very new, plays nicely, lots of stuff.
2 is get umbran climax, clear out the room. 3 is a definite improvement in this regard, not only summons are fun to play with and have tons of options, they can serve as combo extenders too.
The demons aren't near as busted as umbran climax. The really feel like an extension to the combat in my opinion.
I'm curious to compare my pc's performance with my friend's switch on this game. Gameplay is very stable and I see myself replaying this game a lot of ryujinx, but it does drop to 30 in tight places, and the drops are abrupt and noticeable. Still enjoying the game a lot, very nice to see bayonetta coming back to its glory after a bit of a let down that was 2.
Literal rail shooter segment
Who writes the notes for the demons in the encyclopedia?
Is it Bayonetta? Is Bayonetta a cutie pie?
pretty sure it's viola
That means she's cute.
post the costumes
I haven't beat the game.
I am button mashing a bit and I don't like kaijus at all. I also don't quite get how to trigger torture attacks.
>tfw spider section hits
I felt absolutely moronic in the Gomorra sliding section. I hot everything and I still have no idea how to dodge or destroy obstacles. No PP for me ever.
Kamiya was really inspired by the MCU
Reminder that Bayonetta 3 will come to PC
I really want confirmation because I would honestly wait unless the wait was like a full year.
i don't think it'll happen
it probably won't happen. that leak contained games such as mario games and that's just because nintendo uses NVidia hardware
How do you restart a verse of you've obviously fricked it up? Back to title, continue?
So what's the Infinite Climax Mix moon song this time? Please tell me its Bad Moon Rising.
Just spam evade until the witch time triggers then press punch a few times and repeat. It's literally that easy.
You really need demon slave to do decent damage fast. And it's the only way to trigger torture attacks.
>and anon wonder why he got stone awarda
That's a man
Do certain enemies just say no to witchtime? Gracious and Glorious keep royally fricking my shit up. And Joy seems to stop you from performing air combos every time.
I feel like there's something about the combat in 1 that I'm just not getting because I'm only getting a few pure platinums on normal and stone rankings from dying to nearly every wave of enemies at least once on hard.
Back to title, continue, anon. At least you won't get demerits for dying.
How is game on emul?
If you use that one specific build of Ryujinx it doesn't crash anymore, but I'm still getting the massive god rays covering the entire screen frequently. In engine cutscenes desync from the sound instantly due to stutters but the audio continuing anyway.
For me it's not playable because I can't see shit half the time, but others haven't complained about that at all and I reckon the rest is... Dealwithable
Which specific build?
Is that anothetr memory leak problem like with Xenoblade 3?
No, just emulator bugs..
Not playable, if you have standards.
Anyone unlocked the hardest difficulty? Very interested in what differences it makes. Particularly curious in whether it increases demon cost.
Anyway I did 3 chapters and the first 3 weapons and their demons are quite fun. Level traversal feels great with the new movement options, and I feel like they've done a good job introducing a bit of variety to switch things up without going overboard and becoming annoying. Excellent enemy variety too, though I suppose that's never really been a problem for bayo.
Looking forward to trying Viola tomorrow.
The game is actually really fun. I was worried the demon slave stuff wouldn’t have any depth but then I saw the skill tree and all the crazy shit the demons and bayo can get. Already much better than bayo 2. The music is great too
>First game, directed by Kamiya, great combat and tone/aesthetic but with a decent handful of "That Part" bits that drag it down
>Second game, Kamiya had very little if any connection to its development, has better pacing and cool ideas like a super mode while maintaining great aesthetics but throws a lot of the quality combat and enemy design out the window
>Third game, Kamiya actually has some input but does not direct the game, best of both worlds with great combat and great pacing while bringing the intensity up to 11 and adding a brand new playable character with a katana into the mix
Crazy how Bayo & DMC both followed this path
Who's directing Bayonetta 3?
Miyata
Viola gameplay sucks balls. That is all.
I don't think my game is going to arrive tomorrow. I hope it will, because the last game I pre-ordered arrived a day early, but they haven't emailed me yet about Bayo 3 so I don't think so 🙁
Any theories on why Madama Butterfly is so loyal? Her entry says she used to be human, maybe she knew Bayonetta IRL?
My guess is she just knows she's got a good thing going
I would assume that the Butterfly clan of demons were just Umbra Witches before going to hell. So it is just kind of a no brainer to want to be contracted to them if they can help it.
>Demons and Angels multiply by converting human souls to their realm
>When Bayo dies, Madama Butterfly will personally convert Bayonetta in her womb to a new Butterfly demon for her wonderful service in all the angels she destroyed
>Demon unbirthing transformation
Imagine Madama's preg belly
>convert Bayonetta in her womb to a new Butterfly demon for her wonderful service in all the angels she destroyed
H-hot?
Her entry says she’s over 500 years old just like bayo and jeanne so their connection might have more to it than just a contract.
I forgot the plot of the 1st game, who's the person shouting THE SHADOW REMAINS CAST and why?
That is the leader of the Umbra Clan. Simply meaning that there is still Darkness in the world to act as a balance for the Light.
I don't get why action games keep making you buy moves. Upgrades I can understand but why do they lock basic shit
Each weapon also gets an unique shoot action this time instead of defaulting to the pistols.
meant for
obviously
Gee it's almost like the game expects the players to get familiar with the basic concepts of that particular moveset before it expands on them.
How is this rocket science to anyone?
The gameplay unit needs to be administered in small doses so as to create a sense of progression and give you something to look forward to. In this type of game, the gameplay unit is each individual move you can chain into your combo. If you started with all of them it'd be an overwhelming early-game for new players and a boring end-game for veterans
HOW DO YOU CLIMB ON WALLS I AM FRICKING STUCKKK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Nvm im an idiot
Whos the final boss? I want to know if we are getting 1 level of kino
Singularity, i.e Professor Sigurd. He wants to collapse all of reality down to a single universe, because it will mean that he is the ruler of all. He will create a new universe, in his image, as it's new god.
So Ultimecia from FF8, got it.
where is verse 3 in chapter 4. i can't find it. it's after the game introduces the fast enemy that dodges infernal demon strikes outside of witch time.
Anyone know if there's NSIC? and if it disables or keeps witch time. Incredibly important info
I'm pretty sure they confirmed that NSIC is not in. It just goes Casual, Normal, Hard and Extreme. Witch time is required in all difficulties.
I'm not as concerned with WT being gone on the highest difficulty when the systems have been redesigned how they have been. 2 has a similar setup to 1 but required WT from you within it when 1 didn't and that's the issue there. I do want to know what Extreme does though. I would hope it's more than enemy damage.
She looks great in 1 as well and in most costumes. I'm not huge on twintails but many of the alt universe Bayos are very attractive too.
I dunno, maybe it's because it's the game i played so it's the game i actually got to see and hear the most of her but i don't find the least bit attractive in that game and i think her hair looks dumb. She has a very attractive face in 2 though and that hair is so much better.
Do any of the other demons have sin forms?
I don't play videogames, I just cancel CHUDS!
Does anyone have Viola's battle theme yet?
Post actual gameplay, webm it up homosexuals
Total number of chapters in the game?
Someone please record Viola's battle theme for me PLEASE
ANY FIX FOR THE CUTSCENE AUDIO DESYNC YET?
No and there won't be for a while.
IT'S GODDAMN HERE
Not spoiling myself, but I'm looking forward to hearing it in-game. This better not be moon river.
OH NO NO NO
actually a great tune
finally
Wow a good battle theme in bayonetta
Finally
cum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d68hShIvkI0
Isn't it just more of the same? What is there to talk about.
So how does Viola play?
Does she have any useless buttons (like how DMC4 Nero didn’t do anything with the right trigger or dpad) or does every button have a function for her?
viola by default doesn't have any action assigned to left bumper. it's implied that she'll unlock something for it later like nero.
spoilers
They pull a Nero and give him a devil trigger later on
Holy boobs
That's some heavy resemblance to Strider's design elements
Viola (prostitute Climax Form)
Any chance theres gonna be fix for low fps + stutters or am I just doomed, considering just watching playthrough on youtube if thats the case.
Assuming
, get modern PC parts.
Post your hardware. And there's always a chance because the emulator devs aren't "officially" supporting this game yet.
2060, i9 9900k, 16gb
Just wait it out for a couple days. Completely stutter free is unlikely.
I wonder if Masquerade is a human only technique.
Could be cool to see demons or angels fuse with others of their kind.
How come I start the game and am stuck here with Yuzu not recognizing any controller inputs?
cause it does not work on yuzu.
Bayonetta 1 is a fricking movie game. Every 5 seconds another cutscene appears. When does the game start? It reminds me of wonderful 101 where you want to play the game but every 5 second another element appears that gets in the way of the game.
abloobloobloo
This is unironically why i like bayo 2 better
So they changed it in Bayonetta 2 and 3? I actually like the gameplay and probably going to finish 1 regardless but if they change this I'm going to give the subsequent games a chance as well.
If you're referring to annoying constant cutscenes and the occasional QTE after every verse yeah B2 tones it down
*Walks slowly up a tower while some little kids spouts exposiions*
*Every single time you play the level*
Maybe if you keep grinding that level for halos and crafting shit. That level is good for crafting shit.
If it were up to me all this exploration shit would not be in the game. I didn't find the chainsaws until my like 4th playthrough.
God I hope the chainsaws are in 3.
I'm normally not one to b***h about the Switch's hardware because I feel its good enough for most games, but this game really feels badly held back by it.
Its not just the visuals but the scope and spectacle of it all, its like the Switch can barely pull through. Bayo 3 legitimately feels like one of those PS4/Xbox One games that later got ported to the Switch and they had to downgrade a bunch of shit just to make it run, but in this case the Switch version actually is the original version. I almost want to tinfoil hat and say that this game was gonna be a showpiece for a new Switch model that got delayed so the plans fell through.
Game is fine, resolution is bad but that will be fixed when the emulators get updated
Are there annoying backtrack like in Bayo2, where you need to go back to previous area for the 'hidden' verse.
are all the people crying about performance emulating third worlders or are these people playing it on switch
It runs like shit on both!
yeah allow me to doubt
Runs fine on my Switch. Zoomers acting like there's never been a good game that ran at 30 fps with dips.
so it's 30fps? I thought it was targeting 60fps
Pfft, lol, I can see you're not a proud Switch owner.
Like 1 actual game runs at 60FPS and that's mario kart, a WiiU game. And maybe smash, which looks just like a WiiU game.
>Like 1 actual game runs at 60FPS
no there are multiple games running at 60fps, including bayo 2
bayo 3 doesn't look that much more graphically impressive and I'd have thought they prioritized framerate over resolution, I fully expect res to be garbage
you're talking to some falseflagging schizo, bayo 3 is 60 fps but it swaps to 30 for cutscenes and certain ingame sequences with kaijus, which is kinda offputting. it's absolutely not stable 60 on switch though, not close.
>you're talking to some falseflagging schizo
of course, why am I even trying to have an earnest discussion in this shithole
Are you blind?
Are you stupid?
all the footage of it shows it at 60 but apparently it's unstable
I played it on the Switch for like an hour. The framerate fluctuates a lot, constantly jumping from 40 to 60 fps which is very noticable. Meanwhile the cutscenes are supposed to be locked at 30fps but it fluctuates from 29 to 31 fps as well which makes it stutter a lot.
Bros... I think I'm starting to like Viola... just gotta fix her horrid fashion sense
She's great, maybe even better than Bayonetta. We'll still be seeing the scene of her screaming in the rain from the first cutscene reposted on Ganker for the next month or so with /misc/tards who never played a game in their lives feeding each others' insanity.
Where can I get the Ryujinx rom? Is that the best emulator for it?
So how do the weapons feel compared to each other?
They felt kind of samey in 1, and I found they were step up in 2.
How do they feel in 3?
You transform into demons with different movesets. One is a club rifle that is really slow which is different. I do miss my katana from 2.
Viola theme
MOON THEME
It's like I've been warped back to the late 00's and am listening to the shitty alt rock station on the way to work.
All of moon songs are such bangers I can't decide which is my favorite
There's a bird, cat, and frog in every stage when you get them you unlock a bonus stage the whip is from chapter 3's bonus stage.
Viola's theme is a mid 2000s era alt rock bop, i feel like I'm back in that era
Kinda liking fem Nero's theme
Viola is a Paramore and Avril Lavigne fangirl, confirmed.
Spoil me bros
Does 3 have scarborough fair? I can't be the only one who prefers it to love is blue's moveset
yes
So do you rike it so far?
ye
not atm
Also bayo 2 took fricking forever to emulate without random crashes so don't get your hopes up.
Please tell me there's a system which runs this game at more than 40 FPS 720p
the upcoming Switch 2
Any day now...
Bayonetta is fricking gay and you straight chuds wont fricking take her away from me, she deserves my fricking girl wiener.
Just beat 1 on Normal and got Silver as an overall ranking, am I ready for 3? I'll probably play 2 and come back to 1 at some point
I hate the Crash Bandicoot levels
>on Normal
You didn't beat anything. You better have restarted the level if you died.
Yeah, just jump into 3.
You might as well skip 2
>challenge portal thing with rose whip weapon i dont have yet
did i miss it or do they just weirdly give to you early for this?
How do you unlock the costumes?
the switch has a tough time running this in the more bombastic sections. the train fight vs sun wukong runs at maybe 25 fps.
>bayonetta being straight has destroyed dykes and lesbos
>unironically thinking she wouldn't be marrying or fall in love with CHADka
>unironically exposing that they have never played the games before
Anyone with a brain would have known they would have wound up together. I hate that two same sex people can't be friends because of the sandwich people
Viola is their child? Someone spoil me everything
Viola is the daughter of a Luka and one of the many Bayonettas of the Multiverse and she basically spends the game mustering up the courage to say that. Anybody that picked up on the themes of parenthood (particularly Father & Daughter) in the final acts of the last two games called this as soon as we got a good look at her.
It's just that, but Bayonetta spends some time in each game babysitting a kid, with said kid being older in each game, culminating to her actual kid as a young adult.
Pottery
I take it you don't participate in anime discussions, because you have no idea how insane and deluded yurigays are.
They see two girls holding hands in an anime and they immediately write 100s of pages of fanfiction of them having passionate lesbian sex.
Look up the term "yuri goggles" and you'll understand why these fans desperately want Bayo to be a lesbian. Not even bisexual. No, they won't accept that. But a full on lesbian.
No, I've seen it. But with yaoi. I had a fujo friend in middle school and she drew ship art of me and my homie and got mad whenever we spoke to women
>there was a time that people thought i was gay because she wiener blocked me when i spoke to my crush and my crush told everyone how brave i was for being allegedly gay
Fujoshits and yurigays are basically two sides of the same coin.
Deranged, self-hating men (yurigays) and women (fujoshits) who have such low self-worth and hate themselves so much that go into a frenzy whenever they see people of their own sex even just being friendly with the opposite sex, because it reminds them of their own inadequacies as a man/woman.
they should have known the writing was on the wall when bayo didn't hate her father in the previous game
Cuz it's hot
I mean she could still be bi so they can have hot threesomes tbf
Been running pretty well besides the cutscene stutters + audio desync... but now the game keeps crashing as I start Verse 4 in Chapter 2.
Anyone else?
Give it to me straight - is the game better than 2 at least? Does it even come close to 1?
It's so obviously better than 2
You lot seen the umbran tear cat in chapter 2?
Nevermind it's right in the open.
Does it have a sword weapon ? Are parries in ?
>WAAAAH IT DOESNT WORK ON MY SHITTY EMULATOR THEREFORE THE GAME IS BAD
Every time
I don't give a frick if you pirate it just run it on real hardware instead of cheap knock offs if you're going to complain about performance.
it is a problem when real hardware also runs the game like shit dude
For those who's already playing Bayo 3, do you notice any influence from Nier: Automata? Just curious if Platinum used their most successful game as a playground to refine what was there already in Bayo 1&2.
I see more from Astral Chain honestly
why do you keep posting this and why does it feel bad faith
>Platinum saves Yoko Taro's career
>Yoko Taro's writing and style saves Platinum
>Bayonetta 3 has a chance to become the Platinum's next bestseller thanks to exposure.
It's a good story how right people at the right time can create perfect chemistry and I want to believe that Platinum will not waste their second chance. For now, I'm playing Bayo 1&2 and waiting until 3 is perfectly emulated.
Spoilers of the ending do sound like they took a bit out of Automata
Viola reminds me a lot of the sword movesets from that game. Especially how she will just let it spin around in the air which you could do in Automata.
Viola is clearly Raiden
She is nothing like Raiden at all
This. AC was the directorial debut of Automata's game design lead. Taura wasn't on Bayo 3 because he was helping SE with the Replicant remaster and is probably developing either AC2 for Nintendo or another Taro project or both.
>sold millions and saved the company
>still no proper new nier
>just a gacha and reboot of the orig
I think they should have just been sacrificed for fricking that one up.
Blame Taro for that
No, blame the corp for not paying him for saving their ass.
games take forever to develop nowadays, they're probably working on a new game but it won't release until 2024
They need Taro to write it or it's meaningless and Taro said the franchise is finished.
Platinum still has Project GG and Astral Chain 2 in their pipeline, a new Nier collab with SE is probably after that.
Viola
Some bosses did that little thing with the orbs flying everywhere, and the Umbran Clocktower has it as one of the attacks when you summon it. That's kind of about it, at least in terms of direct things.
Nier: Automata was a beta test for Astral Chain. Bayonetta is Bayonetta.
Why are the times for platinum so harsh? It's way harder on you than previous games
please dont tell me they fricked up the scoring again
This shit still fricked on emu?
it will be at the very least till friday, add a week or so maybe
it literally runs fine on ryujinx except for cutscene audio dsync
I'm 10 chapters in, audio desync in cutscenes but gameplay is mostly smooth in 1440.
I find it way easier to time the moon parries on Viola than her own owns. The wolfie has been fricking my shit up, she has dodge offset to keep the combos but you need to parry for wt. I destroyed his ass with the moon parries but I feel it was not the intended way because I hardly got to finish any combos.
I don't get the pointing systems in these games
like which combos am I supposed to make? do I have to rotate, spam the same combo or what?
I think you have to keep smacking people without getting hit and finish fights fast. combo multiplier gets downgraded when you get hit and decays over time
so which one did the moon theme better?
1>2>3
Main battle theme goes
2>3>1
Fly Me To The Moon
Tomorrow Is Mine is so fantastic.
1 reign supreme
I can't choose
I can't sneed
Fly Me to the Moon is still the best. Sets the tone perfectly, has tons of style and energy, acts as a perfect introduction to Bayo's character, is worked in and reintroduced perfectly with the games plot beats, and is even an in universe part of the story.
Moon River captures the same high energy and style as Fly Me to the Moon but it's barely in the game and is really only there arbitrarily because they did something similar in the first.
Moonlight Serenade isn't as much as a staple/ cultural juggernaut/ popular as Fly Me to the Moon or Moon River so it's almost kind of unfair. It still fits the theming of "60's lounge standard with a prominent Sinatra version" though. Maybe it ties into the story better.
I like Moon River the best. Fly me to the Moon the least because while its a good song, it doesn't appeal to me that much.
Wait are there no feet weapons in this game???
...there aren't? are you SERIOUS?
I just got the first weapon so I'm not sure. But I have a single A slot and B slot and it switches what Bayo has in her arms.
From what I've hard they modified how weapons are equipped in this game.
I think they switched up the equip system so that you can't mix and match different foot and arm weapon combos.
Only one weapon per set, means no mix and matching but now big hand-only weapons have much bigger movesets
Weapons are full body now, you have Punch and Kick for them and you can switch between 3 on the fly at a time. They've also got more going on than previous weapons, especially 2's, due to Masquerade and Slavery being unique for each one.
My main disappointment is the apparent lack of a crossover weapon. Chain Chomp in 2 is so fun, and all the Nintendo costumes had slight changes to guns or Weaves (or provided you the parry without an accessory).
Slavery isn't unique to each weapon.
There is an obvious association, but you can choose whichever 3 Demon Slaves without having the weapon they are tied to.
More importantly, this does in fact change their shooting type for the first time in the series. So you're essentially changing your gun along with the melee weapon.
Yeah I just got to the skill tree and the linked masquerade thing. Seems pretty sick.
>No more shitty nintendo gimmick weapons
THANK FRICKING GOD
Because it was a limitation unironically. The new weapons have much more fleshed out, unique movesets. It's hard to do that when you have a combo system that connects different weapons together like previous games.
Anyone that plays with the weapons in Bayo 3 will 100% understand the change.
Exactly, and I'm liking it a lot. However, when I'm unlocking the moves in the menu I can't help but feel the punch and kick rows are way too similar to each other.
I'm 2 hours in and it's weird as frick. For a bayo game it's oddly exposition heavy upfront and the summon stuff seems to just trivialise the game so far.
i'm despising 1) that camera mode is the FIRST option in the start menu and 2) nintendo's moronic button layout and legacy press circle to confirm style.
>moronic button layout and legacy press circle to confirm style.
Cope westcuck
>and legacy press circle to confirm style
Nintendo already did this way before Playstation and Xbox were even a thing you absolute moron
I don't play nintendo games anymore except for Mario or Zelda or poverty Platinum who can't publish games on real systems/PC
stick to god of my wife's son you moronic troony
WHO CARES ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY
WHERES THE PORN
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Gamestop hasn't shipped my Trinity Masquerade Edition of Bayo 3
Bros...
mine just got shipped
Is it because I did the free shipping? What the frick is gamestop doing?
If I don't get this game on Friday then I am going to lose it.
Protecting you from the ending
I got the free shipping and mine just shipped too
I got charged on Monday and I'm still in "preparing for shipment",
Can you not buy new moves in gates of hell anymore?
theyre in a skill tree now
>gameplay is even simpler than GoW 2018
How did they frick it up so bad bros
gow was one of the greatest games of the generation so that's quite a high bar
anyone found any secret weapons yet? do they exist?
i dread playing as viola because i don't understand her
im holding punch and kick to get the fire slashes and they don't happen
>snoys are still at it
sad!
Does Viola have costumes? She's too ugly to use as she is.
Tbh I thought I would hate viola bros, but she's actually pretty cute and funny
She's fun to play, too.
I like her little notes in the infernal demon book
How is the weapon variety? Do ypu have any particular favorite
Weapon variety is pretty bad this time around.
How so? I remember leaks showing about 11 of them this time around. A bit less than last hand but they each seem more distinct this time around.
While there is a ton of weapons I feel like the way you're given them doesn't allow enough time for you to get a feel for them, and they kind of just start swamping you with doubles towards the end and you don't really get enough time throughout the game progression to get a real feel unless you spend a while in the training or you play through older chapters again.
Never played DMC so I can't answer that, if it's any clarification though the final battle is basically Bayo3 fighting until she dies, then she does just.. die. Which felt incredibly forced. I figured she'd come back to some degree, kind of like in B1 where they hold a funeral for her and she pops out of the casket but they really hammered in that she's dead and Viola is the new Bayonetta, complete with a "To be continued..." after the credits rolled.
i think what makes it worse is that literally everyone is dead. wtf would b4 even be about? i dont see myself playing a viola only game
Beat the game, insanely pissed that Viola is the new Bayonetta, even if it's just a title, and that Bayo is canonically dead that being said, how the hell do you unlock the B1 and 2 guns? Other people said to have a save, but I'm emulating and while I do have b2 on a diff emulator I have no idea how the game would go about detecting that, should I just transfer it over or launch it once or something
>that spoiler
Oh so they did go full Nero with her.
total chapter number?
Everything that I heard about the game including reviews doesn't point in that direction, I'm just gonna assume you're fake and gay
>posting fake spoilers
I don't feel like playing through the entire level again to get the ending cutscene with Viola wearing Bayo's glasses and Luka's scarf saying I'M BAYONETTA! but it's real and you'll see it when you play!
14. Maybe 14.5 if you count a weird post-final level final level to unlock a different weapon. The general pattern of levels after Chapter 3 basically goes Jeanne, Viola, Bayo, Bayo. Jeanne's being the 2D minigame thing and Viola's being an actual chapter.
Pics or webms. I don't believe you.
Like I said I don't want to play the entire level again, because that specific spoiler is the literal butt end of the Chapter. This is the closest you're getting unless I can find something in the gallery real quick.
What the frick is even happening in this game. I went to a mystical island on a cat's back and now I'm in Tokyo for some reason?? I love wacky anime shit and bayo 2s insane pacing but what is even happening here
It took the NMH3 route made the game super wacky and le so random, completely missing the tone of the first couple gad2hrgmes.
The first game was super wacky and random too. From the first scene even.
Is the enemy variety trash like the other games?
ye
Yeah, nowhere near DMC 5 in terms of enemies.
I will not tolerate Bayo 1 enemy slander.
Take it back.
Bayo 1 has a godly enemy roster wtf are you on.
DMC5s roster is inferior to 1 and even 4s
>DMC5s roster is inferior to 1 and even 4s
moron
newbie
>Nooo launching an enemy in old game and juggle it with guns is good
>doing same thing in new game bad
Ok
that has nothing to do with the enemy roster itself. very few enemy types are juggle-able in DMC1
>nooooo enemies don't have ranged attacks and le critical points baad roster
Ok
the reused DMC1 enemies in DMC5 still have crits and yes not having ranged attacks on most enemies is bad.
DMC V has the best enemy roster of any action game.
Also has the most boring level design.
Worth emulating then or just buy it on switch? I have a 5800x and 3080ti
if you can wait the 2 days might as well just do it, the emulation as smooth as it is during most of the game, is absolutely fricked at cutscenes which i feel are probably 50% of the game's enjoyment especially since the little snapshot cutscenes are pretty much gone and theyre all cinematic
That ending it legit, holy frick am I also pissed off about it. Frick Viola
I really want a crossover.
Pray Monolith Soft is doing PxZ3 with the DMCV and Bayonetta 2/3 included.
Hurt
How many playable characters ?
Bayonetta, Viola, Jeanne. Not sure if there's some secret 4th, I only got Jeanne after beating, but I can't think of who the 4th might be, if there is one. Beating the entire game on Hard might have Rosa? She's there in Chapter 11, so she exists in this game but had a super minimal part.
Gameplay wise, does Jeanne replace Bayonetta or something like that?
Shit game
Does Madama Butterfly get to be a character this time? I was always disappointed she didn't even get to shit talk Alraune despite the game telling us they're rivals..
She surprisingly never speaks, it's weird because they seemingly chose the ones that have full sentences at random
how’s the combat compared to DMCV
So, just saw the ending on a stream and I can concur with the other anon.
It was in Japanese so I miss the nuance but near as far as I can tell, the Bayonettas from 1 and 2 fuse together with the one from 3 to form one "Prime" Bayonetta (and I guess implies that Bayo 1 and Bayo 2 were separate ones all along?) and despite this, the final boss is still giving her trouble until Luka shows up to help and together they beat him. Then something happens and Bayonetta starts dying and getting dragged to hell. She and Luka make out as they both get dragged down together while Viola watches. Then the credits roll, there's some extra boss where you fight Bayonetta's evil or something as Viola. Bayo vanishes at the end. Then after the credits, it looks like Viola has started working with Rodin and fulfills the same role that Bayonetta did. So yeah, looks like Bayonetta gets with Luka, dies, then Viola becomes the new main character, and I have no idea where Jeanne is.
Then there's the standard dance number, but with ded ppl dancing, lmao. Talk about tone-deaf.
Everybody will absolutely hate Violas shit, she's gonna be despised, they did the Nero the wrong way, they whacked the original cast to push her.
Nice fanfiction
Cope

Holy shit. Bayo and Luka die because Viola is FRICKING USELESS!
>they did the Nero the wrong way
Nero was done the wrong way in the first place.
>filtered by l2
Embarrassing
Nah, Nero was a good replacement for Dante.
I'm taking how it was handled, Nero was put in spotlight along Dante.
Bayonetta 3 is more like they killed everyone and replaced them with V.
That's really fricking lame. I don't hate Viola but can't be a good replacement for Bayonetta
> I miss the nuance but near as far as I can tell
You got it right for the most part, they showed up as a deux ex machina because B3 was about to die and for some reason b1 and b2 show up. There's 0 explanation, especially because right before this fight you already had the whole Marvel everyone's here moment, Singularity got hit hard enough by b3 to spill out all the variants he absorbed and they all fight him.
>Then something happens and Bayonetta starts dying and getting dragged to hell.
Her umbran clock got cracked in the fight, the entire last part of the fight plays exactly like the 1st chapter except it's with the Bayo we've been playing as, and it got worse when she finished off Singularity by summoning Gomorrah and that's pretty much what killed her. Everything else is right though, I honestly don't know why Viola's the new main and it feels weird.
why havent you played the game yet to prove them wrong
Never played Bayonetta, should i get 3 since it's the new thing or should I try 1 or 2 first? 2 is the only one where I like her look.
1+2
Just finished the game here, those spoilers are true
NSP when.
Just finished the game here, those spoilers aren't true
Just loaded a big fat turd into doamoron's mouth.
>10.26
>release date: 10.28
>Y u havent played
????????
before i buy, is it good?
I think ending aside the game was incredibly fun, the combat felt fun. The puzzles were interesting, the levels were nice to run around in. The boss fights were expectedly over the top
Not worth it due to the story.
im sure this is bait but does anyone ACTUALLY play this genre for the story
Judging by all the KHgays and Talesgays in action game threads and most people here being more concerned about who Bayo ended up with than the gameplay itself, it seems many do.
really dont enjoy the 2D jeanne levels at all
Does this game have a color edit mode like Astral Chain?
Someone fricking answer this anon's question
I haven't played astral chain but you can customize Bayo's colors, however I haven't gotten far enough to unlock it.
ye
Is it just default Bayo or is this for everything?
I'd also like to know, mostly to make Viola's hair one solid color.
i think for every costume, because there are option to do this. but i still need to unlock new ones
Does this mean you can alter Viola and Jeanne's atrocious color palette?
Holy shit
I dunno about a color edit, unless its unlockable, but so far I unlocked Japanese Bayo along with the main one, and they each have a set of colors you can change to.
Please Anon show me that white and sky blue one
It's green and white.
Runs well when I'm playing, cutscenes have stutters and audio desyncs.
I get the occassional crash, forcing me to restart some chapters a few times.
Does Viola ever get longer hair? She would look better if she had longer hair. Her personality is cute from what I've seen.
She looks sexy.
hows it running on ryujinx for you?
anon please show me the troony flag color scheme
Sure, I guess?
Is such a tragedy that such an aesthetically pleasing color palettes has become related to trannies
literally just soft pastel girly colors, trannies job 24/7 is to try to imitate women of course they chose nice colors. dont let a few first world headcases ruin colors for you bro
Can you have white hair, and a black outfit?
Closest I can get. This costume has two toned hair
That's ok, I like it
Oh, nice edit, looks like astral chain.
Really wanna see some Viola edits.
I'm loving it. But I have 2 gripes. I'm unlocking the same moves across different weapons, and the same moves across punches and kicks. I haven't spent enough time with each weapon to see how much difference there is, but I see that while having universal combo structure across weapons makes it easier for new players, it takes away some uniqueness from the weapons. Love the gorilla hammer though.
The reason I don't like Luka x Bayonetta is that it robs her of her agency
I see dead people....
That explains the gossip ballad. Whew, I just know I am gonna cry once it's over.
I don't think you can play as Jeanne in any of the main levels.
kek Ganker is gonna hate it after shilling so hard for it
So, in Monkey King (cumulonimbus something 2) boss plays Monkey Magic music, like in opening old chinese video series that played in 1990 something
where are the gameplays
>everyone was expecting Dante to die in DMC5
>he lives
>no one was expecting Bayo to die in Bayo 3
>she dies
>everyone
I didn't. You'd have to be genuinely moronic to think a guy who's survived being stabbed and impaled on screen several times over would ever die permanently.
?t=265
His theme song literally spells it out for you.
One had an amazing nephew
Another had a shitty daughter
im playing with same colors, but changed a little for blue+yellow
>Super Saiyan 3 Bayonetta
Could she beat Jiren?
Bayonetta dies and Viola becomes the new Bayonetta
anybody gotten Bayo 3 to run without the audio desynching issue on Ryujinx?
Not going to happen for another year bud just get it on switch
I already bought it on Siwtch I just don't wnana wait till friday to play it.
it happens on the most high action cutscenes, the scripted mid-battle ones are usually fine. but you won't get it fixed anytime soon, you're better off dealing with it or waiting until friday for switch
I was able to play the game and it runs well but the audio is fricked. Too much stuttering and it gets out of sync
Death Battle homosexuals are going to be reachy as frick in the coming months
What
Dammit
Any ryujinx fixes or patches since yesterday??
a couple but nothing that fixes the bigger issues yet
fuc
How THE FRICK do you taunt? I've tried every button combo i could come up with.
DPad down same as Bayo 2
Sooooooooo, is the game much better than 2 gameplay-wise? Tough but fair on higher difficulties?
It's 2 but more broken and with less complexity.
>less complexity.
Is spamming umbran climax more complex?
Is not being able to juggle big enemies except in witch time more complex?
Is having enemies randomly counterattack you in the middle of a combo more complex?
I don't get what you are arguing here.
Definitely better than 2 due to better overall mechanical balance and more in-depth weapons on top of not locking the unique new character to a side mode. Compared to 1, that'll take time since the systems of 1 & 3 are much further apart than 1 & 2 were.
No one knows homosexual the game has only been in most people's hands for a day or so. They probably haven't even beaten the game yet, much less played it on the hardest difficulty setting or bothered trying to find any tech.
These character models are fricking disgusting.
how are you guys already playing this? it's not releasing for another two days?
My uncle works at nintendo so I gave a copy of the game to all the anons
im kamiya's father
>Wonderful 101 gets a sequel
>Wonder-Goggles is the main protagonist
>Wonder-Red and Immorta die while embracing each other
having to restart chapters to find missed verses remains an annoying affair
i just keep going on my first playthrough. im gonna be replaying the levels for rank anyway
Anyone know where the chapter 2 cat is?
nvm found it
Why have both of my most anticipated games of this year had the protagonist get unceremoniously fricked at the end?
does anyone else feel like the ending of the game has something to do with the taylor situation (as it did go down 1-2 years ago)? it just feels...quite forced and jarring as a whole
most likely answer. Just get rid of Bayo and go with a whole new character for the 4th game to avoid the VA situation (which would explain the cameo bit)
I have two possible theories
1) Taylor infiltrated the writer's room and ruined the game as revenge.
2) Taylor rejected the role after reading that god-awfull script.
Taylor stirring up twitter drama to spare fans from the ending is some next-level shit
I'm a buygay so I haven't played it yet but beyond that I'm also a poorgay so even if it was out I couldn't afford it.
game crashes everytime after the prologue when selecting the third mission on ryujinx, even after messing with the settings from that one post. im on an amd gpu so idk if thats why i cant proceed
feels bad man, wasnt running to bad gameplaywise. i dont wanna have to borrow my sisters switch to play this lmao
After all the shit that went through did they hire another VA? Because she sounds the same!
they hired jen taylor and she did her best possible impression.
She sounds like shit compared to the original sadly. And this is supposed to be the top dog of the VA industry or whatever.
>people think bayonetta will be replaced in a game called bayonetta
>Bayonetta dies
>Is replaced by Viola
>The next game is called Violetta
They made it very clear that Bayonetta was a title, so yes as far as the game continuity is concerned Viola is Bayonetta now. Rodin even corrected himself at the end saying something like "Oh right you're not Viola anymore, I'll use the family name.. Bayonetta"
egyptian bayo is hot! and dt viola!
FRICK JUST LET ME IN I'M LOSING MY MIND
For people who beat it, could you enjoy the post game after the ending or did it completely ruin the game for you as well?
you're asking a lot out of Ganker to replay games in general.You genuinely think anybody here actually tries to PP these games?
I PP'd the first two and did absolutely everything, but I'm also a tourist
Most anons that like Bayonetta PP it. Its not even particularly hard.
no
Is there any amiibo support? Does it run better in docked or handheld, or is it the same??
Can i emu bayo 3 with Ryzen 3600 6600Xt and 16gb ram?
where is verse 7 in chapter 8
oops, mean verse 6
Will I like this game if I tried devil may cry 3 and hated it
