    By pure chance alone, Bayonetta 3 feels fit for the moment. At a time when loving Bayonetta felt *complicated*, Bayonetta 3 is a relentless, unashamed celebration of Bayonetta; of this character, of her companions, of the demons she fights alongside and of the outrageous spectacle that is the hallmark of this series.
    Bayonetta 3 launches Oct 28th exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. Review code provided by Nintendo courtesy of WellPlayed.com.au. I did a write up of this review there and it'd be awesome if you could give it a click: www.well-played.com.au/bayone...

    Great review! About the verse issue though, I feel like that is easily solved as you go up the difficulties. Platinum has always done difficulty right. Beating normal is just the tutorial. Once you get up to Nonstop Climax difficulty (I'm assuming that's what the hardest difficulty is called again), every verse should be remixed with different enemy placements, etc. This is assuming they did the same here, of course.

    Like you said, I'd imagine the 'verse structure' is so that they can easily swap out monsters on harder modes, since usually the first playthrough is the tutorial/learning phase and it ratchets things up on the two or three difficulties that unlock after. Did you have a chance to try those out (if they exist)? I know you said it was just one playthrough, but I hope it gets challenging later on.

    • @JoeyFTL
      @JoeyFTL Před rokem +18

      I don't think there's truly a problem with the "verse structure" itself, it's just that the verses themselves are way too short compared to Bayonetta 1. This was one of the biggest issues of the sequel as well.

    • @justinhurowitz70
      @justinhurowitz70 Před rokem +19

      The levels are split into verses for the sake of the ranking system. Instead of just getting a score and rank at the very end of a stage, you get ranked on a bunch of individual battles which gives you clear short-term goals to work towards and makes it easy to see how you can improve and what parts of a stage you struggled with.
      It also means you can relax a bit and take your time exploring between verses without worry that it will hurt your rank.

    Ralph, people who like grinding for Pure Platinum kinda need the verse structure. Devil May Cry 5 is no different. People don't replay the whole level, you reset the verse that you're currently stuck on to get Pure Platinum.
    And it's not a hardware limitation either. For comparison, DMC 5 is also a fairly new action game that uses a similar structure. It's what fans of these games expect from the structure. They don't want an open-world with character-action gameplay, it needs a more rigid structure otherwise it kinda defeats the point of the game.

    The verse structure critique is somewhat voided by the inclusion of the training area. Bayonetta games are - by design - built to be played numerous times over. The training area allows you to hone your skills, perfect those combos and, more importantly (I'd argue) spend time learning how to talk to ladies.
    For real though I'm fine with the verse structure. Not every game needs to chuck away core design philosophies, a la Elden Ring, to succeed.

    Hey Shill/Skill I been using my new steel series headset for about a month when you had that code and I wanted it say THANKS I had a cheap $30 one for the longest time and I love gaming and going for walks with my new Bluetooth ones

    Big fan of the series, and for the first part of 3 I was like "This is more Bayonetta, and I am happy about that." Then I got the train. It wasn't enough to simply put summonable demons in the game - summoning the train was a real "Holy shit" moment, one that I never could have predicted, one that gives the player a truly unique tool that I've never seen anything like in a spectacle action game. That was the moment the game went from "More of what I love!" to "Platinum are off their fucking rocker and I am here for it."

    I love Jennifer Hale as a VA, she was awesome as Rivet. Her Bayonetta voice sounds so familiar to her performance as Ashe in Overwatch.

    Shill up only got 1000 dollars to give the voice to this review. That is way to much money.
