    2 and 3 are Nintendo exclusive plus many fans consider them to be worse than the first game

    • 2 weeks ago

      This, whatever legacy the series has is carried by the first one, even back when the PS3 version had a horrible reputation it still managed to gather all of its audience, the new ones failed to do things that would introduce the franchise to new players and whoever is interested is more likely to just go and play the first one because that's the one the fans actually care about the most and then who knows if that person would go for the sequels.

      It's kinda like megaman games, everyone knows what they are like but that doesn't mean a ton of people are gonna play them.

    I'll address a point that's rarely brought up but is quite relevant: Bayonetta is a rather unpleasant character. She's arrogant, snooty, self-righteous and treats all male characters around her like garbage. This appeals to only people with specific fetishes. On top of this she looks weird - she's "sexy" in theory because her body language is whorish, but she's also three meters tall and has weird proportions, which keeps her from being truly erotic.

                She's super exaggerated, like Dante does for action moves. Bayonetta just does the same gimmick in a different flavor.

                In the same way, nobody thinks Dante is realistically cool for riding missiles and Flamenco dancing, he's a super exaggeration that can come off cringey if you don't give it the benefit of the doubt.
                Bayonetta asks the player to give her ridiculous poledancing attacks the same level of disbelief.

      Bingo. Dante is in part beloved because besides being a wacky wiseguy wannabe he mostly stays true to this archetype of being a "hero of justice" that battles against evil because it's right. He doesn't smoke or drop f-bombs because it would be uncool. It's like a red power ranger and that's hard to hate.

The DaVinci Code didn't end up having any lasting cultural impact, anyway, so it didn't stick with people. Bayonetta sold well enough for sequels but it hasn't had the lasting impact that DMC or even MGR had.

      Yeah, this. I already didn't want to play the game because "witch killing angels" didn't appeal to me as a premise at all, but I put that prejudice aside and gave it a try anyway. Within the first 5 minutes they're mocking God and religion. I'm supposed to take this shit from some pencil-neck little gay Jap?

      People will laugh at this but as

      >Bayonetta is a rather unpleasant character
      Bingo. Dante is in part beloved because besides being a wacky wiseguy wannabe he mostly stays true to this archetype of being a "hero of justice" that battles against evil because it's right. He doesn't smoke or drop f-bombs because it would be uncool. It's like a red power ranger and that's hard to hate.

      pointed out a big charm DMC has is the main character being a good ol' boy fighting for justice. Bayonetta's character goes for something different that while interesting isn't nearly as appealing.

      The larpers on this board love to whine about Japs making and loving media that "attacks Christianity" by having God be the final boss or whatever, but now being anti-Christian is somehow the reason why the games didn't do well in Japan? Try to at least be consistent.

    First was a great game, 2nd I honestly like and have played more through than the 1st in spite of being less deep and demanding as far as combat goes, just because it has less random minigame shit that Kamiya likes to do, and is more straightforward. I didn't even bother finishing 3 and I literally preordered that shit the night it was announced at TGA, just so you know at one point I was very serious about this franchise as someone that enjoys straightfoward unpretentious action games that don't hide and obscure things in RPG stats and equipment.

    Feels like Nintendo keeps it around just so they can say "yeah we've got sexy and mature games" and "look we got Platinum making stuff for our console"
    Honestly if they can get an Astral Chain sequel out in year 1 or year 2 of the Switch 2's life I could see that being the thing Bayonetta failed to be and the action flagship in Nintendo's stable, or just keep cranking out original IPs rather than trying to force ideas to fit Bayonetta or AssChain's concepts.
    God knows they could use a win after their last handful of games, and with DMC5 selling 6 million and Bayonetta 3 somehow selling a million in spite of itself, there's still quite a healthy appetite for action games that aren't Soulslikes or action RPGs or "over the shoulder sad man wannabe prestige drama."

      Samus and Lara had the novelty of being big female protagonists when there were barely any of note to speak of in spite of also having a lot of sex appeal. Sam Metroid had little in the way of personality besides being stoic lone wolf mercenary, people dug that, and this is why Other M is so reviled. Lara in her first incarnation was casually bloodthirsty and mellowed out by the first Crystal Dynamics reboot but she was still cool adventuring lady; that's why all the spinoff and crossover shit like her Call of Duty appearance pulls mostly from her classic version rather than sad 2nd reboot girl.
      Meanwhile you have Sony building statues of Horizon girl and buying her magazine profiles trying to make her a feminist icon and shit. You can't bruteforce the situation.

      Also Bayonetta is a Japanese character from the 7th gen so she has even more of an uphill battle.

    Nintendo fans literally have no interest in non-nintendo games, let alone action games - a genre they were never raised with and completely missed out on generations ago. Releasing these games on nintendo is a waste of everyones time, but thankfully they've been getting worse with each release so there's absolutely nothing being missed out on by fans of the genre for skipping them.

            It was Itagaki trying to make a big post-Ninja Gaiden magnum opus.
            First Microsoft was going to publish it, and then that fell through, so THQ picked it up, and then THQ died and then conveniently around the same time THQ died, Nintendo was desperately trying to salvage the Wii U with fucking anything before the PS4 and Xbone destroyed any hope it had of being anything other than Gamecube 2, so they gave Valhalla enough money to staple the thing together and send it to market.

            Anyway after Devil's Third failed, they got absorbed into Soleil, the guys that made that Samurai Jack game(hence why Itagaki is credited as an advisor on it) and then they basically just rebuilt the concept of "tacticool military shooter" and "cool intense Japanese hack n slash" into Wanted Dead a decade later.

    Bayo 3 was the chance for Bayo to take off.
    Instead we got a game that was in purgatory for years with no real info on(a red flag that the game is gonna be shite), and then the retarded bullshit with Bayo's VA. The drama surrounding the game killed any chance of it truly succeeding.

    Despite the shit DmC was doing, it was at least fun to meme on, and Donte became an endearing meme in many ways. People had fun even at DMC's lowest point, Bayo on the other hand brought cringeworthy facepalming shit in its lowest point.

    In DMC3 Dante and Vergil both have a heart beneath their words that people can relate to. Who relates to Bayonetta? It's hard to even feel any sympathy for her half the time.
    She treats people like garbage, and it is never portrayed as a flaw. I don't even necessarily believe a character has to have a flaw, but if something that is objectively a flaw exists and the story still treats it as flawless, it is a problem.

            Bayonetta 1 was actually fucking amazing in how smooth it made gameplay feel and every game since has been coasting on that.

            Bayonetta 1 made Devil May Cry feel absolutely ancient, and almost every single action game since has copied witch time in some way.

            Since then it's been coasting off the first game and never really improving.

            Bayonetta 3 should have been make or break for the franchise and it was more of the same with big, clunky monster smash gimmicks. The exact fucking opposite of how Bayonetta 1 felt fast and fluid.

            This still doesn't match lmao her legs are a whole half head up, and her body is narrowed to exaggerate the arms and legs, it's not two head widths long because her head is big and wide

    More or less unless I forgot something. Kamiya is a retarded gay that needed to have his ego checked a decade ago. Dude hasn't been directly responsible for anything good since Viewtiful Joe and pretty much just coasted off of his association with Mikami and Platinum games, who themselves haven't made a good game in a decade at this point.

    Honestly really just feels like it comes down to plain and simple charm.

    DMC has a silly stupid earnest edginess to it, between the waxing philosophy of humanity being a true source of strength, the struggle against your nature, not letting your past define you, and rhe importance of family. Between all of that, you have wahoo pizza, black and death metal, samurai swords cutting through tanks, and a confident sense of self awareness where the game trusts you to realize how ridiculous everything is, but it takes itself completely seriously.

    Bayonetta has sex appeal, some of the angel designs are kinda cool, same with the demons, but the gore gets distracting, the designs are still mostly flat, nothing Bayonetta ever does feels "cool", just slutty for the player's sake which would be fine if her proportions weren't so freakish, though you can kinda overlook that if you're the games target age, IE pubescent teenagers, and the cast is utterly forgettable. Wheres my Virgil? Wheres my Lady and Trish? Fuck, wanna talk about Villains, DMC3 Jester/Arkham stands out vividly as an interesting villain because his devil Jester form is a literal mockery of Sparda, which mocks Dante, while his Human form is a near mockery of Virgil.

    Compare that to Bayonetta? Any of them? I played all three, and I can't remember fucking anything about them, let alone a villain, or boss. Theres bosses I remember from DMC2 and I played that 14 years ago.
