            Why is it in a video game, a Nintendo exclusive no less? This isn't a visual novel, and it definitely shouldn't be in a product that people consider GOTY.

            I mean, if the fans were disgusted at the sight of this scene and were like "yeah it's horrible, but if you skip it then the game is better" then I'd understand. But people actually praise it like it's a good thing. It's like talking about a snoy movie and then saying that the cutscenes make it better. Any gameplay enthusiast would be rightfully confused by such a notion.

          No. It's Devil May Cry for Gankerggots, campy b-movie lovers, and BDSM and femdom fetishists.
          The game may be Japanese but it's got about as much weeb appeal as something like Resident Evil or Metal Gear. The kind of game where the Japanese devs expect it to be played in English because it makes no sense for anyone to be speaking Japanese in the context of the story. Hell the first game didn't even have Japanese audio until Nintendo forced them to add it as an option in the rerelease.
          A Japanese game that doesn't even want to utilize Japanese voices and basically tells the player they're wrong for playing in Japanese with English subtitles is the most anti-weeb thing I can think of.

          1's levels are paced well even if there's some awful camera or annoying arena gimmick or dumb backtrack Verse or hidden Alfheim, and 1's enemy roster is still the best overall (despite 3 having the largest as some of the new ones are meh and most of the Angels & Demons aren't built with Slave in mind).

          I do think 3 has the best weapons and boss roster for sure, and 1 doesn't really have alternate characters besides Jeanne and the joke character while I actually do like Viola's gameplay (although 2 has Rosa usable in the whole game and a couple more fun characters in Tag Climax so it wins in that metric). The thing is that 3's levels are quite long, especially if you haven't gotten all collectibles in them yet and need to look, with a lot of space from Verse to Verse, and possibly the largest number of Verses that are going to hard to Pure Plat due to skills outside of the core combat. I think the Kaiju fights are fun but trying to do them fast with no damage would make me dislike them if I was going for that.

          I have to say 1=3>2 even though I have the most fun playing 3 overall. 1 just feels more "pure" in its action and it's on systems that don't have issues running it while having better fidelity. Also, I don't know if Sai-Fung's unlock condition or Sarborough/LiB's unlock condition in 3 is worse.

          [...]
          Items don't hurt your Verse anymore but you'll obviously be tanking it anyway with a Bronze or Stone for Damage. You just get a Chapter-end bonus if you don't use any items.

          I ended up managing to do it without items anyway when I suddenly got much better at blocking.

        I just did it, used the miniguns with the train demon and the accessory that makes summoned demons control themselves, at first I was trying to do the same but with Madama butterfly instead.

        I can really see why they don't give you that accessory until the game is nearly over, or at least I assume it's nearly over but then there's still a lot of space on the map.

          I thought 2 had the best enemy roster, because it was practically 1's roster, with a few new angels and now a set of demons

          3 has way too many homonculus, and I wanted the angels and demons to participate more in the story

            If you only count enemies added in the game, and only by gameplay and not visual design, 2 is the weakest. Too many enemies that refuse to interact with you outside of WT/UC, some lightning fast attacks after too-subtle queues, worse audio queues overall, an instant kill on a normal enemy. A few good demons, 1's Angels, and Enrapture carry most of it, although a couple other 2 Angels were fun.

      I agree but if there's one thing 3 has over 1, it's the Alfheim placements. You have no idea how legitimately frustrating it was in 1 where you had to backtrack to very specific points in the map before the point of no return AND after specific verses to unlock an Alfheim sometimes. This made PP runs so unbearable at points because they pull this shit consistently and it was just frustrating. At least in 3 I thought most of the Alfheim placements were logical and actively encourages exploration.

      1 still had better Alfheim missions overall but god did that game have some of the worst backtracking if you really wanted to do all verses.

        >>shit weapons
        Every weapon has a niche and a pretty complete-feeling moveset once upgraded, and finding the synergies between a weapon and a Demon (both Winks and certain moves you can command a Demon to quickly do that will help your equipped weapon out) is interesting in a way that is at least on par with Hand/Foot synergies within a set in 1&2. By comparison, 1 has five variants on the same gun moveset while half of its interesting weapons are deep in the post-game due to the grind to get them, while 2 had more creativity but less depth than 1's arsenal. I don't want to disparage awesome weapons like Odette, Durga, Sai-Fung, Pillow Talk, Takemikazuchi, Chain Chomp, etc. but 3's lineup just has more weapons I like (on top of Demons, which I look at like a second weapon set) than the first two combined. 3 even has my favorite weapon from 2 in it. I wasn't certain about this until I started running Ribbit Libido + Tartarus + Clock Tower but I think that's my favorite weapon loadout in the series (but I would need to replay 1 to be sure)
        minigames in almost every fricking chapter
        This is a problem the whole trilogy has. When it wasn't a minigame in 1&2 it was a genuinely bad stretch of level design or a horrible boss. 3 might be the most long-winded to Pure Plat but most of its distractions are fun in the moment (MOST, some do suck).
        and her parry
        The parry is really the only complaint I have about Viola that isn't just "I want more options". It's oddly strict and inconsistent, and you can't even do it half the time if you're playing her properly so she needs MoMK. In a potential Bayo 4 she really needs to have the traditional dodge with the parry as just an option Cheshire has (as she would get more weapons).
        levels
        All I can say is I enjoyed them. You can tell that they just rolled what they had for the 3DS Jeanne spinoff Kamiya talked about wanting many years ago into Bayo 3, it even has its own staff roll.

      I mean that predates Dragonball but because she blasts him throught multiple rocky pillars [an iconic element of DBZ fights] AND does a full on kamehameha, I think it's DBZ, not that old Toku series but the answer is likely that DBZ is inspired by JTTW and that Monkey TV series.

        Those were smart on their part at least. Activision contracted them for 3 games, and they threw their young and inexperienced talent in major roles on 2 of them to get the money. Then Devastation got a bunch of veteran staff just because they volunteered out of love for the IP, which is why it's actually their most fun game.

      Pretty crazy that each Bayo has a different Director and Game Design Lead from the others.

      Babylon's Fall is still probably the worst game from a major publisher this year, but Bayo 3 is a Top 5 game the year if not Top 3. Hell of a rebound. It's a shame though, Babylon had a ton of potential and the right director but it still just shit itself harder than anything I've ever seen. I gave that demo a more-than-fair 3 hours and I felt entitled to a refund for a game I never bought.

          Pokemon's battle system that has been iterated on for decades is more interesting than Babylon's pretty mindless combat with one gimmick that's just a shittier version of Multi-Unite, even if all the dressing around it in 3D Pokemon games is poor.

      I never at any point thought Platinum was dead. Everyone going on about it was a moron. It's only been three fricking years since Astral Chain. Yeah, that's a lower output than they often used to have, with games yearly, but in that time they also made Babylon, worked on Granblue, self-published W101, made Sol Cresta, made World of Demons, etc. etc. It's a faster cadence than most developers achieve.

          As much as I do hate modern Square and loved old platinum the live service shit was all Platinum. They're the ones who pitched it to square so they could get funded and they're the ones who established a studio in tokyo for live service games.
          Platinum was actually so incompetent they did not advertise the live serivce aspects first which lead to people being dissapoined whe it was and they're super fricking incompetent for making that first trailer the looks like a really good single player game only for them to later realize, 'oh shit we can't make all these systems work like this better simplify to braindead babby tier shit' or atleast that's what I assume because that first trailer had some fricking good looking combat and movement before they fricked it all up. All of babylons Fall development seemed like Platinum DID NOT know how the frick to make a live service game and their only reference was literal mobile games.

    I'm just finishing Bayo2 (emulated the WiiU version with the open source Cemu 2.x and its phenomenal!) and I'm eager to give 3 a try when the emulators are ready for it. Does 3 have a "Rodin The Infinite One / Platinum Ticket" style fight and are there special unlockable characters etc. 2 also had a nice "lost trials" after-completion mission system and all the various Tag Climax challenges where you can even unlock playing as a handful of special characters, both in the main campaign and the side stuff. 2 also did a really neat explanation both to show the whole witch wars/purge, showcased Vigrid back in the day, you got to see Baldr wasn't a bad guy and, as proven by many a Japanese game, kill god when he acts like a dick. It even sets up the truth of what happened in Bayo1 and why Baldr went bad etc. Hopefully 3 does all this justice

          It's also the more unique game by a mile.
          Elden Ring is just Dark Souls but kind of worse overall.
          Bayo 3 is its own beast to the point it alienates some Bayo 1 gays, but is often considered better than Bayo 2 anyway, a game which is just the first game but worse.

      All her masquerades actually have no breasts. Gteat attention to detail.

      looks and plays significantly worse than Bayonetta 2, which is also on the switch. The performance is also worse the moment you summon a demon.

      no it really is shit, even if Gankertards can't put it into words properly
      summons instantly take aggro and nullify any and every encounter
      the gameplay of Bayonetta takes a backseat to you baiting for Witchtime so your demon can do the job
      by far the strongest thing you can do is either the meme Baal song, or either Gomorrah or Bat laser moves while mindlessly mashing buttons
      no matter the difficulty, you can trivialize everything by using demons to the point where I actively stopped using them midway through because I noticed I wasn't fricking playing the game anymore
      LT>Down-Up-Y x2 with Gomorrah beats every boss in the game in 1 cycle, and in AoE situations you just Spider self-destruct or do the Gomorrah AoE laser
      once you unlock weapons that do a lot of damage from range like the Wand or the gatling gun you're on easy mode no matter what

      if you want to handicap yourself and ignore all those strats for score or style, simply summoning a demon and doing nothing will still stagger most enemies, and Bat dodge is functionally infinite and is extremely generous, so Bayonetta is extremely overpowered VS every enemy in the game to the point where it's never a challenge no matter what, even if you dont know what you're doing
      reminds me of KH3 where Sora just has so many options and fail-safe mechanics with iframes that no matter what you just can't lose in the base game (critical fixed it and it's extremely good, but too little too late)

      also if you switch to Bayo 1 or 2 costumes she doesn't get naked when summoning so you're stuck with the serial killer skirt made out of hair (seriously what the FRICK)
      game is censored to shit, where are the eternally stiff nips you fricking nips?

                yep, wouldnt have played Bayo 1 for literal hundreds of hours if I didnt. I have noticed that I do have trouble doing demon slave orders while offsetting so it looks like I have room for improvement.

                Thanks for the Viola webms, there are times where I feel like Im close to understanding her gameplan but then later chapters would humble me and leave me scratching my head on how to play her. Absolutely hate doing the Alfheims that revolve around Witch Time as Viola because her WT duration is so short.

                You can do demon slave orders through umbran spear offset as well which gives you a much bigger window to input. If you have trouble with viola parries just equip moon and practice those parries instead, you can do those with the sword thrown so they're more useful anyway.

                For other random weapon tips Abracadabra is probably the best weapon for just spamming projectiles at foes you can't get close too, also scarbourgh faire lets you get out two wink attacks if you offset the first wink attack during its old double wicked weave combo.

    After replaying I've come to appreciate the minigame sections more. Especially as over the top pop off after the actual boss fight. On the other hand platforming as a demon is fricking horrible. Those spider and Gomorrah sections suck.

    Any good resources out there for learning more about the combat? I've just beaten the game and I'm still so overwhelmed by all the options Bayonetta can do to the point I can never get a grasp as to what niches weapons or demon slaves cover. I've played so much of 1 and I love 3 but the new mechanics still feel so alien to me, still very fun to play around with though. I just need some pointers.

      Do you know how to dodge offset? Main thing with 3 is learning how to do demon slave orders while offsetting so you don't have to waste time stopping your combo.

      As for weapon niches just play around with them, yo-yos are great for sticking to enemies because kicks let you advance on them quickly while punches let you keep your distance, and the whip is always good for staying in the air forever if you ever need too.

        yep, wouldnt have played Bayo 1 for literal hundreds of hours if I didnt. I have noticed that I do have trouble doing demon slave orders while offsetting so it looks like I have room for improvement.

        Thanks for the Viola webms, there are times where I feel like Im close to understanding her gameplan but then later chapters would humble me and leave me scratching my head on how to play her. Absolutely hate doing the Alfheims that revolve around Witch Time as Viola because her WT duration is so short.

      It just looks like they're dodge offsetting the final hit of the punch combo then hitting kick, might be a pause combo though which is why timing is hard.

        Yeah the moment I hit ZL she goes into that summon animation so it feels like there’s a frame-perfect window to dodge offset out of that into the kick. I wish it was easier cause no other weapon has a combo like that.

      Inputs are:

      PPPPP(mash until finisher) [P] LR ZR ]P[ K LR

      If you hold LR when you do wink, you can't dodge cancel the wink and have to sit through the entire animation. Be sure that you're just pressing it and then letting go.

          You don't need anything advanced at all to finish the game on hard. The fact you appear to believe that's even an accomplishment is pretty telling as to your skill level. The game restarts you right at the same verse every time you die, you'd have to be a legitimate paraplegic to actually have trouble merely beating it.

                It's about as hard as any of the games you mentioned on second-highest difficulty for the games that actually have one, i.e. not hard.

                The point is more that you were a moron talking about those Viola webms because you don't actually have any idea what tech is being used, as said tech is strictly unnecessary to beat the game, so you only noticed the most blatantly obvious aspect. Beating a character action game is basic. It's not an accomplishment. Going for score is the next level, but still has repetitive strategies to cheese it in every game. The top level is simply playing the games to push yourself to be stylish for style's own sake because it's fun

    Haven't played through 3 yet since I'm going through first two games, so can't compare the two. I will say that brawlers are generally a better genre than the sub genre of soulslike because brawlers provide difficulty as a way to test the players mastery and is perfectly fine with the player being good enough to style on enemy even bosses. Soulslikes, on the other hand, is designed to get cheap kills on the player as a way to market the game.

    >force you to play a third of the game with Viola who has only one and is way less polished than Bayo

    Feels like they just threw everything they could think of into the game, without realizing that sometimes less is more. Bayo 1 is still better, it more focus and way tighter design because of this.

        A quarter then. In some ways that is worse since that gives you less time to learn her. I sucked hard with Viola because she differs so much. The whole guard offset isn't as intuitive, and the TW trial was just a huge pain with her. You suddenly realize that enemies actually just miss quite often, failing to trigger WT.

          Yeah the viola witch time challenges are fricked I think they are the only ones I got filtered on
          then they give you a viola no witch time challenge (the one where you have bayo as an ally as well) that is probably the easiest one in the game yet that one gives you an entire witches heart instead of a witches heart piece like most of them

          now that I type this I realize that's probably intentional to give people that struggled with the challenges a bit of an upgrade

    God I'm either a shitter or do I get off-screen attacked a LOT? With all the shit happening on screen I can neither see nor hear the cues that something's gonna sucker punch me from a mile away. I'd reduce the clutter if I don't use Demon Slave, but I don't even think you can get PP if you don't use it. Fricking hell this is frustrating sometimes.

      An Anon did some extensive testing a day or two ago, and apparently - they DON'T attack from off screen. At least not any more they did in previous game, so big, obnoxious, and loudly telegraphed.
      What actually happens, is that due to camera being clunky, they start their windup on screen, and then hit from off screen because the camera "lost them" in the meantime.

        NGL, alt verse 1 on NSIC filled me with some gamer rage. Mostly because I started as Viola and she gets raped by mollusk-kun. So I swapped to bayo and raped it back with an anchor. Guess that's its niche.

        Was that the implication? I thought it was more that they were less likely, but not guaranteed, to not attack if off-screen.

          I haven't done post game stuff yet but in general the slow cutscene after already having to go back to the start point every time on those segments bothered me a lot, we should have left that shit behind generations ago.

          Also tangentially related but the time turning bit with the statue and the angels probably shouldn't have even had a time limit

      Here's how I take it. 1 bayo changed the past and yet she and her timeline persist to exist without drastic changes, so for little cereza's timeline to continue, it will have to branch out as not to interfere with former's timeline which in turn had a hand in creating a different reality, or a mutiverse if you will.

      So to answer your question, both yes and no.

      You can use it sparingly and still take advantage of it. Summon, input a move or two you want quickly, let go of the summon button. They'll act those attacks out while you have total control of Bayo. One I like to use a lot is Phantom Back-Forward Gun which pulls an enemy in and launches them, giving you a ton of time to play around it in your combo.

      Once I sink my teeth into more of the post-game content it might be high up for me. Not sure if it can unseat Jack's game or Forgotten Land which have been my Top 2 for most of the year but it might sit at a comfortable 3rd or 4th. I love the combat more than SoP & FL but there's just a bunch of small flaws like every Bayo/Platinum game while SoP's biggest flaws are just performance and the DLC needing you to beat the kinda grindy postgame to engage with it and FL is kind of flawless in terms of what it goes for outside of the co-op lacking some polish. FL also has the best overall boss lineup of the three in that it has no bad ones and multiple really excellent ones, it's kind of crazy how 3D Action games have had issues with consistently good bosses for decades and HAL nailed it the first attempt.

      The "truth" rhetoric that gets spouted nonstop starting in the middle of Chapter 13 through the credits was jarring and nonsensical. Bayo 1&2 showing up made zero sense other than Singularity implying that Bayo Origin's willpower is so strong it revived those two specific versions of herself (and not the ones she met in the game or Jeanne). The cutscenes completely frick up the flow of Singularity Definition as a boss (not to mention the wonky Gommorah segment in the middle). Viola has no part of it outside of cutscenes but Luka fights with you in one phase despite not being playable, and the Combined 1/2/3 Bayo segment just exists to look cool for like 30 seconds (and it DOES look cool but you're just doing the same shit with color-coded after-images).

      People were b***hing about Bayo x Luka being canon or Jeanne dying or Viola being passed the torch but the bad part of Ch.14 is the dialogue and pacing just completely falling apart until Singularity is defeated. The stuff with Luka choosing to save Viola or Bayo, Bayo's death scene and how she removes her glasses to kiss Luka while Viola finally just can't help herself from calling them her parents as they slip away, that's actually all good, but I was burnt out from bullshit, and then the post-credits Kraken fight was also confusing since the idea of Bayo leaving behind "darkness" made no sense, and then it ended up just being Bayo herself as a torch passing moment, and yet the game never even attempts to explain what the frick Kraken was doing in the game (I assume there were cut universes and it was a remnant of a Pirate world).

      I was not at all shocked when I saw that Bingo Morihashi didn't come back to write 3 and it was mostly Kamiya again. W101's writing must've been a fluke or something because I really love that story despite some small pitfalls (doesn't really redeem Blue & Luka enough to make them likable, Green/Yellow/White/Black are one-note). At least Enzo's family is alive.

        Read the lore, she's the specter of Alphaverse's Arch Eve - Dark Eve. The fact that Alphaverse exists despite universes collapsing when their Bayonetta dies should tip you off that she's still alive in some fashion.
        Just like Dark Adam parasitizing on main Origin Luka, she was feeding off the negative emotions of other Bayo dying, and went on her own small multiversal rampage.

      Viola was OK, but if she's really going to replace Bayo then for the next game she needs to have an overhaul on her visuals because she doesn't look like a main character. Dunno, perhaps have Jeanne return and take Viola as a protege, teaching her about being stylish and fabulous.

            So they had Bayo and Luka put on a bus to hell so they can't interfere and they can deescalate the stakes with Viola, without any training wheels for her and a hot daddy werewolf that can solo reality for her if se ever gets in over her head.

I'm glad I will finally be able to browse these threads properly without having to fear spoilers, I'm glad there's still plenty of discussion to be had since other games I have gotten late have had all talk dry up by the time I play them, I think I may have missed my chance to really discuss the heterosexuality drama though, although funnily enough 3 is the only game in the series that actually did have something that seemed at all even slightly gay to me, that huge fricking smile bayo had on her face near the start when Jeanne grabbed her.

              Bayo 2's story was mostly handled by Bingo Morihashi (writer of DMC3/4/5, had a hand in the lore for Dragon's Dogma) after Kamiya created a basic outline. Given the timeframe Bayo 3 was made it's likely that Bingo was busy with DMC5 when Platinum would've needed him on Bayo 3.

          The only major departure from 1&2's staff was Hashimoto, and his greatest skill was art and enemy designs. Also Bingo I guess since he did 2's story but not 3's. The combat/game design lead from 1 is still in the company but he hasn't been in a lead position since TF Devastation, just being part of the general "Game Design" group for several games (although his last two credits are Astral Chain and Babylon's Fall which are two of Platinum's worst).

          thank god someone else said it the weapons feel so fricking bad lmfao the only good weapons are cruel altea and fricking Scarborough Fair (which doesn't strip bayo btw) censored, unfun trash

          Do people really not like Ignis Yo-Yo, Ribbit Libido, Dead-End Express, Tartarus, Alruna, & Cassiopeia? CMW & Simoon kind of suck, Abracadabra was undercooked, and G-Pillar's carried heavily by its Masquerade attacks and powerful Gun but that initial list was all a lot of fun to me.

            probably better than bayo 2 because it's doing something new and does it well instead of just being shittier bayo 1

              I seriously hated AC's combat and level design despite liking the art and characters a lot. Enemy design was pretty weak too what with them using damage numbers over hit reactions half the time, and the ranking system is the worst Platinum has done since it pretty much only rewards using Legion tandem attacks regularly more than actually playing efficiently. A handful of good boss fights can't save it for me.

              I honestly can't tell if you're trolling. The yoyos feel "ok" dead end express feels TERRIBLE the fans feel clunky and I hate ribbit libido with a passion. Even alruna somehow feels different and way way worse than it did in 2 which is why I swapped to Scarborough Fair. Fricking Rodin feels like trash in this game too

              Not trolling, I guess we just don't look for the same things in weapons. Running Ribbit & Tartarus together feels fantastic IMO, those are probably my Top 2 followed by Alruna (which was tied for my favorite weapon in 2 with Takemikazuchi).

              I feel like the only great weapon is colour of my world because it's classic bayo, everything else feels very gimmicky and not having the traditional gun attack anymore makes it harder to keep up combo without spamming taunts or getting lucky
              I do like Ignis and the other weapons, but they feel relatively more floaty and MUCH harder to dodge offset with because of unclear animations, unlike the 4guns weapons which have bayo continue to shoot. I can muscle memory the offset anyway but it doesn't feel as good as the main weapon. I do think they're cool but gameplay wise they all kind of pale in comparison to the guns, like i said too much of a reliance and gimmicks for me, and this is coming from someone that actually likes them. Using Labolas and his fists is also terribly cancerous mainly due to gun attack and long animations that are a bit difficult to offset

              CMW is my least favorite set of guns in the trilogy, Scarborough just feels more natural and has Tetsuzanko. But I see the appeal of them just from a flow perspective if you don't have SF/LiB unlocked, on top of 3 bringing back bullets ricocheting.

                bayonetta 3 is literally just shitty astral chain
                AC's legions are snappy to control and work in tandem with you, in bayonetta it's the complete opposite and bayonetta also looks far worse than AC which has great art direction, besides running at 30fps
                although a lot of bayo 3 runs at 30fps while looking fricking disgusting and the parts that don't can also drop even lower than 30 fps sometimes, it's really fricking shit performance whereas you get used to astral chain
                it's not like bayo 3's ranking system is better when you have this shit, at least AC forces you to use a bunch of different abilities for good ranks instead of just spamming your highest damage shit because anything else gives shit point and time ranks

                I also prefer LiB and Scab, but CMW is a nice alternative that doesn't make me feel constricted unlike the other weapons. Honestly I feel like they really messed up in general making all the weapons have a different gun input so keeping up a combo is harder without rushing in or spamming taunts to freeze the time (also don't like how taunt is about 2 seconds long instead of the superior bayo1 hold to taunt)

                >plays on norma;

                Yeah, dunkey really isn't a good critic of action games. He just likes the feeling of being strong and I feel like bayo, being a harder game in general than dmc on anything that isn't DMD, doesn't provide the same level of combat. He probably thinks you're supposed to take the plot seriously rather than using it as a backdrop like most platinum games not named MGR

                I think the guns have really cute dances, which tbh should give points. Unfortunately all of the cutscenes lack the same appeal. One moment I really enjoyed from 2 was bayo pole dancing on baldr's spear while fighting him, shame it's all gone though. Are the two of them working on anything else? Great work in 1 and 2

                I'm checking 3's credits and I don't even really see a choreographer credited while Yuji Shimomura was one of the first names credited in 2. It's not a hard confirmation but it seems so. I can't find a choreographer listed for any of the games but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Also noticing that 3 has a different lead composer since 1&2's was doing Sol Cresta & Babylon for some reason but I wouldn't have noticed since 3 has some excellent music.

                Each one felt very limited (especially with how you had limited skill slots on them), wrapping around or tripping enemies got pretty old to me when they're one of the main things the scoring system wants you to do, and some of the unique actions each had were just not enjoyable (a big sticking point from nearly the beginning of the game were those enemies that connect to another one and make both invincible until you use Sword Legion's awkward Blade Mode to sever the connection). There's a handful of good, polished ideas that it barely ever expounds upon, and the novelty just wore off for me.

      >So the general consensus is this game sucks then?
      No? The most negativity I've seen is for the ending, most of which was irrational hatred over Luka winning the Bayobowl or not wanting Viola to become the MC. I've generally seen praise for the combat, although top Bayo players seem to think 3 is the most frustrating to 100% Pure Plat despite liking the combat mechanics more than 2.

      I guess I haven't seen the Dunkey video but I also don't really watch him in general.

    It's interesting how much each game differs looking at the credits, but with the gaps of time between each release it makes sense that there wouldn't be a ton of consistency.

    For the record, W101's lineup is the same as Bayo 1's (Kamiya directing & writing, Shibata as game design lead).

    I feel like I have to be fricking crazy or something. I think it's easily the worst in the trilogy, both in gameplay and in story. Demon summoning is shit outside of wink slave, the stupid sections where you have to play as the demons for excruciatingly long periods where it's just mostly you doing shitty platforming, new weapons suck and don't have fun combos, fricking Jeanne, Viola plays like shit and it an annoying fricking character, and the ending sucked ass.

      All I can really say is that I personally enjoyed the weapons, use of Slave within combat outside of wink, and most of what Viola & Jeanne's stages offered. Chapters are too long with too much space between Verses, Viola's parry doesn't feel great, Jeanne's melee in her levels is wonky due to a lack of strings or a lock-on for them, and I agree that the story is mostly a mess besides some isolated character moments, but I thoroughly enjoy the combat itself barring a couple of annoying Homunculi enemy types.

      2 is a much smoother ride from Prologue to credits (outside of a few awful bosses) but once you try out all the weapons/characters it starts to fall apart mechanically. I can see myself trying to improve at 3's Witch Trials for a while while 2's later ones are just frustrating. 1 is the most focused on its combat and Chapter pacing but you just have random segments of awful level design that kill that pacing alongside Alfheims and hidden verses that are way out of the way. All three games have their flaws which sucks since each of them were probably a few adjustments away from being excellent.

      Also this is a really small thing but I wish Viola didn't lose her grappling hook after her Faerie form is awakened. I get her float is better for traversal but the swinging she and Phantom Masquerade have felt really nice and I was bummed to see it taken away entirely.

      2 had a pretty solid story, 1's story is a mess that 2 kind of improves retroactively with Balder's sacrifice. 3's story is much of a mess as 1's but because the scope and stakes are so much grander its faults are much more apparent.

      The strength across all three games is the characters and what they do and not so much why. There's a handful of good moments in each game but they're mostly character-driven ones and not plot beats.

      Dunkey (being a moron aside) does make a good point about the story of 3 being paced awkwardly and having a lot of missed opportunities, but yeah he plays at too much of a casual level to properly appreciate the gameplay (genre shifts aside). 2 did have kind of a really good plot that moved forward a bit more organically, and 1 can also be forgiven for its flaws because it was indulgent and fun. I don't think 3 has a bad plot by any means but a lot of these normie types pretend multiverse stuff and time travel is so confusing and a mood ruiner, as if it matters for more than a backdrop to action.

        I'm genuinely disappointed Lukawolf isn't playable in Witch Trials and the Bonus Chapters. He's got enough of a moveset considering Rodin's playable state in 2 (which locked him and Balder to Tag Climax).

        Maybe Luka/Strider should've been an endgame Demon summon like Rodin. Maybe he is but he has Sai-Fung tier unlock requirements or needs a cheat code that Platinum won't reveal for a year.
