      yeah it ALMOST gets there because you can do all the optional missions with whichever character. It's weird because you can refight almost everything that Bayonetta fights as Viola in the side missions, but i wonder if there were just some parts that don't work as viola?? Then again DMC5 didn't even do that either, but it works fine with the mod.

    Took me some time to warm up to it, but the same happened with 2 (which is my current favorite). Looking forward to replaying this one on higher difficulties, as I really grow to appreciate Bayonetta games once I'm forced to really dig into the mechanics.

      @Teybort Před rokem +2

      Yes, since they are both hack'n slash. But still very diferent, i would dare to say DMC is more traditional. Bayonetta's core mechanic is dodge offset, its a constant exchange of attack+dodge, its works very smoothtly at the point it blends in the combat and becomes what we like to say, a dance.

    I would also add, the "technical shortcomings m" were a non-issue in my playthrough. When framerate is 50+ and doesn't have any sharp changes it's hard to notice anything. Felt extremely smooth, barring 1 or 2 instances I can recall, but even those were just brief micro stutters over in the blink of an eye.

    Never played these games but if I recall, the PS3 version of Bayo 1 was very troublesome technically. Seems like WiiU's Bayo 2 was the only one that launched without tech flaws seeming like a big deal. Hopefully Platinum gets better at optimizing as their style looks awesome but obviously demanding.

    Loved the game but Bayo 2 is clearly superior to me. This is held back by the Switch and has the weakest plot of the 3 games. Summoning demons is amazing but it can often lead to a lot of nonsense on screen. Bayo 2 is action perfection

  • @JacobDragyn
    @JacobDragyn Před rokem

    2:13 Sorry to nitpick, but wouldn't the fact you have complete control over the demons mean that they *are* "mindless beasts"? Since your will is overriding theirs? Or am I misunderstanding something?

    I'm disappointed with my purchase.... I was really looking forward to it, but it just doesn't live up to the previous entries, imo. I wish I could get my money back and put it towards something else. Too much dialogue... weirdly broken up levels... and combat feels like a step backwards. I thought the demon summoning would be cool, and it was at first. However they are so strong that there is no reason to not use them constantly and you will need to in order to meet certain challenge requirements. This detracts from the game, since I want to play / fight as Bayonetta, not a giant demon Kaiju.
    PS. Also I'm spoiled by my PS5 cuz the game looks bad and runs bad, imo.

    This wouldve been a great review if it came out during the games release period.
    I know you guys are super busy, but why should I watch this over say IGNs review when you both have similar lukewarm takes but theirs is faster?
    Im not trying to give you guys a hard time, but I just feel like I didnt gain anything new from watching this idk.

    • @EasyAllies
      @EasyAllies  Před rokem +5

      The game came out a couple weeks ago in a very stacked month. I'd argue this is still very much "the game's release period." It's not as if we published a review for Portal 2 today.
      IGN is one of the biggest media outlets on the planet with resources for a large, focused writing staff and the ability to hire freelancers when that is not enough. We have four staff members who write reviews, in addition to numerous other responsibilities.
      IGN got the game sometime before launch and were able to publish before launch. We were not given the game until launch day, and Brad prioritized the Sonic review instead, which we did get early and we did publish a review for at the earliest possible moment. We also did publish our initial thoughts on Bayonetta 3 within a few days after we got it. So it's not as if we left it with no form of coverage to gauge what we were thinking.
      If you think it would have been a great review a couple weeks ago, there's no reason to think it's not a great review now. Compared to most of our videos, this review is doing quite well, and it has already exceeded the views of the first impressions video we did earlier. Not everyone is able to get every game the second it comes out, and there are plenty of people who watch reviews later, even months or years after we publish them. They want to find out what we thought, simply because they value our opinion. And as for directly answering your question, that's essentially what it comes down to. You would watch our review because you want to know what we think and you enjoy the attention we put into writing and video.
      Just as importantly, we value crafting reviews, and we thought it was a game worth reviewing. If the bar was only to review a game when we can get it out at or before launch, we would almost never review any Nintendo games due to their distribution policies or multiplayer games because they're often lacking features before they go public. -Bloodworth

      @@EasyAllies Hey blood thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate how you always interact with the community.
      Regarding my comment, I realise this may sound rude, but as a viewer I dont really care why the review was later than other outlets.
      I just hoped that you would take into consideration the fact that viewers may have already seen other reviews at this point, and maybe chose to add additional insight other outlets may have overlooked.

    • @EasyAllies
      @EasyAllies  Před rokem

      Sure, I understand that perspective, and it is something I've personally tried to be purposeful about with games like GT 7 and Splatoon 3 which had special multiplayer events post launch or significant issues or updates that weren't visible during the early review period. If the review is going to come a bit later anyways, then, I actually do want to spend some extra time on things that weren't available before launch. In some cases, we simply won't publish a review early if we feel like we need to wait and see how important aspects of the game shake out after it's public.
      That said, a review is still about putting our own thoughts on the page, and we're going to say what we think is important to say about the game, whether or not that might be similar or different from what another reviewer has already said. -Bloodworth

    This game is a 6 for me. The demon combat was cool at first, but it lacks depth compared to playing as Bayo. It's flashy, but way too simplistic. I didn't like Viola at all, or the Jeanne sections. I did enjoy the story, though, even though I would have liked more background around the main bad guy. The low point in the series, in my opinion.

      @@bobbymaycry9748 Yeah... I'm worried for EZA and its fans. I don't think they are doing too well financially. I've been here since day 1 supporting them through Patreon & Twitch... but if they are still around in another year I'll be surprised. Quality content fell off when they lost Bosman but was still great. But the loss of Ben M. was a big loss.
      I like the rest of the gang, but it feels like their heart isn't in it anymore... or maybe they're just spread too thin now and tired.
      They are now adding tiers on Patreon asking for $100 + /mo. just to have a message read during the podcast... *smh* It feels gross and desperate.
      At this point the only content I watch of theirs is the Podcasts, Hall of Greats & Reactions.
      Why aren't they doing more fun things like Achieve It Yourself more often? It seems like a relatively easy thing to produce. Heck... just do it live on Twitch.
      Sorry for the rant. I know it has very little to do with what you were saying. I just feel like it needed saying.
      I can't be the only one that feels this way... there is a reason they removed the ability to see the Patreon numbers.

      I found a lot of content after Bossman fine, for me Ben was the deal breaker but I still enjoy some of the content, I'm just not a streaming viewer usually so I either have them on out of boredom while I work, or just wait till they have a show going down; HoG, MM, etc.
