      @UCOLGCosiYlckTRg4a7wz0Aw The reason I focus on it because the games focus in on it. She is defined by her sexuality. Her entire move-set is a reference to BDSM sex acts, her gimmick is that her clothing is made up of her hair that will unravel to reveal her skin in a sexualised manner every time she attacks, and the camera caresses her body both in cutscenes and gameplay. Like no main video game male character is treated this way unless it's done so as a joke.

  • @zipzeolocke2
    @zipzeolocke2 Před 3 lety +1536

    I loved learning about how the developer of Bayonetta was insistent on the main female protagonist wearing glasses and standing up to the Sega investors. They tried so hard to convince Kamiya to remove the glasses because they hated them. But no he bravely stood up to the investors and not only left the glasses on her, he also added a variety of different glasses on nearly every other character in the game to tease the investors with more glasses! Kudos, simply brilliant. Let this be a lesson to all game developers, don't let the investors force you to change your work of art. It's your passion project, don't let them make changes you don't really want to make.

    One thing that I will always love about Bayonetta is the fact that she's one of the, if not THE, most accurate portrayal of a witch in modern gaming. The long hair that shows her power to demons making her even more powerful. Even her sexuality is pretty spot on considering, in lore, witches happily had sex with demons in exchange for power.

It was quite normal to work with sexual energy (which is definitely not limited with regular sex) because abundance and fertility (crops, animals) also branches of this energy. An esoteric concept. With this energy you cultivated by sexual practices, you can charge (empower) curses, hexes and other offensive metaphysical effects. Black magic stuff.

    12:27 - Fun fact: The DMC "lock on, hold a direction, press jump" button combo to dodge _still works in this game._ This is significant because when you get the Beast Within later on, dodging twice in a row will suddenly cause you to transform (disrupting certain strategies like dodging circles around an enemy to safely get behind them), but by using the DMC button combo, you can dodge all you want without accidentally transforming!

    • @Waffersforever
      @Waffersforever Před 3 lety +25

      You can also dodge out of Beast Within, which if I remember correctly, also resets your dodge limit of 5 in a row, the 5th one being where Bayo would flip really high without gaining much distance, and pause in place for a moment. So if you do it in a specific manner, you can use a few dodges in a row, go into panther form, and then dodge out of it again to have more dodges. Helps out a fair bit since you can also choose to do an attack out of panther mode if you're going for higher combo scores. Plus, another iirc moment, I think dodging out of it propels Bayo forward pretty quickly, which can be good for getting out of the way for last minute evading. Such a great game.

Then Bayonetta 3 got announced and said to myself "all right, i guess i'm a videogame person now. 1 Nintendo Switch and 1 copy of Bayonetta 2, please". And here we are, Bayonetta 1 being my favorite game so far. It was a great introduction to the world of videogames for me and it will always have a place in my heart. All the feelings that it brought me came back while watching this video. You did such a great job, and i'm glad you made it. Just wow. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    so well put!! I love this character so much. I also really like how you described the sexual aspect to her. Bayonetta is different than a lot of female characters in that regard. She doesn't feel objectified and it doesn't feel demeaning or gross. Bayo's sexuality feels powerful, and it's so nice to have that in a female protagonist instead of the sex-doll-fanservice-object that female characters are often used as in games.

      You can’t objectify a fictional character so you are just projecting. You like bayonetta so it doesn’t feel like objectifying, but you don’t like some other characters so they feel objectified. Not that they actually are objectified.
      It’s also extremely rare that female characters end up like that. And bayonetta is one of those, she is kamiya’s fetish character.

    Found this video from a channel I haven't seen before in my recommendations. I had a good time! I particularly like and agreed with your take on Bayonettas sexuality and femininity.
    As an asexual person, fanservice always felt alienating to me. There would be something enjoyable happening, and then it would be interrupted by something that is of no interest to me. Particularly when the fanservice was of a character not even in a sexual situation but being leered at by the camera.
    But, Bayonetta didn't feel like that. It felt like she owned it. It became an actual aspect of the character. And that made it enjoyable to me. Even if I couldn't appreciate it on a sexual level, it could still be an enjoyable or funny character moment. I laughed so much at this games sheer over-the-topness, sexiness included. It was so pleasant to have something openly sexual that was enjoyable to me because of that rather than in spite of that for the first time in my life.
    It's something I wish more artists would do - make it part of the character. Don't write it as forced upon the character, write it as their choice. Don't put in an achievement for looking up a girls shirt or make a pervert character force her to wear a skeevy outfit, don't try to justify forcing her to do it by saying she breathes through her skin. Make her poses and clothing her choice, write her with that in mind. It would feel lot less unpleasant and tacked on.
    Also, *yes*, the Bayonneta cover of Fly Me To The Moon is so good!
    Damn, I want to replay this again, it's been ages.
    Anyway, neat video, I'll definitely have a look at some more of your work!

    I literally just thought today "I could use a Sphere Hunter video right about now". Thank you for granting me my wish.

    I really love how you review any kind of game by studying the background of the games and really play the games fully and repeat it once or twice. I would really like to hear your view on the last of us series.

    So cool indeed with the details and specifics, had a blast watching and listening in late this morning. I wish I had 12 extra hours in a day to be able to do more things with my current work and other daily life stuff - getting back into playing games being one of them. Still always enjoy the environment though despite just observing now. Have a great rest of your Sunday!

    Man, Kamiya retweeted my all-platinum run a couple years ago; the I can feel the love alllll over this game and I really liked this video.
    Please, if you haven't, buy this game and expect to enjoy it for a loong time. Bayo 2 is great too, but, its definitely...different.
