8:00 long blocks (not the real name) only grant you that small duration. Perfect blocking (blocking at the. exact. moment a hit lands) will grant you the full witch time duration. And yeah it’s annoying for the challenges especially if you’re a completionist trying to platinum every verse. Always recommend equipping moon of mahaa-kalaa for her
It is such a shame that even at the very end Viola don’t get even one cool moment. Also, honestly, I think it would’ve been much better if they instead of passing name Bayonetta to her, instead went Violetta. It’s an actual name, it’s sounds nice and in line, and it also doesn’t just throw away all those moments Viola was stating that her name is V-I-O-L-A
I suggest y'all watch the Lady of Lore's video on Bayonetta 3 lore. She explains it well and reasons why this is even a narrative in the Bayonetta Universe. On a narrative note, it would make sense to introduce a multiverse aspect to Bayonetta, because there is the entire idea that 1 and 2 are already from different timelines, so it isn't something completely unbelievable for the series. Bayonetta has a different personality here because she is the young Cereza we encounter in Bayonetta 1.
Not surprised at this point, but another very well done video! The yo yo and fan were my favorite weapons as well and the harpy transformation is easily the best imo; it’s just fun. While bayo 3 might be my favorite ifor sure due to the gameplay and new mechanics introduced, I definitely agree about the writing and story it just felt off and I really don’t like that it implies bayo from 1 and 2 are different bayos but that’s just me.
3:56 - completely awful upgrade system. It makes no sense. Ok demon moves, same input but different properties. Weapon upgrade system is LITERALLY buying the same moves. 4:28 - ok, I heard, it's YOUR favourite. For me CMV is worst out of all 3. Yes, most combos end in 2 fast wicked weaves/masquarade attacks, it has OP spin2win move, it still has forced bat within feature (back+kick+dodge). But on the other hand its attack animations make no sense + it FEELS slower + its firerate is definitely slower + it can't shoot bullets once you used WW. 4:55 - I really liked this weapon in my 1st playthrough. In fact, this was the only weapon I liked in this game. But its dps is very low even with quickcharged attacks. In fact the most damage is done with demon wink attacks, which requires pressing kick buttons, which is slow. For me best weapons are guns + alrune or guns + abracadabra (if you can't throw your enemies) 6:15 - I understand it's YOURS favourite, but the best on-field demons are Cat and Rodin, with spider having the best nuke in 360+P, and Bat having 2 out of 3 best demon wink attacks (and Rodin having last 3rd best wink + good wink for stunclocking many enemies with Abracadabra's PPPPP+wink). And umbran clock tower is tier-0 summon. Completely broken. About Viola. She is really bad when you play her for first time, then she becomes really fun when you master her block offsets and block cancels, and then she becomes complete garbage when you try to use her in witch trials. It's ok narratively that she is weaker than Bayo and can't fight all the enemies as effectively as Brave Cereza, but she definitely wasn't designed with all possible challenges in mind. 7:43 - this tricky terrain challenges are awful .__. And what makes it even worse - Scarborough fair and Love is blue are essentially a pay2win weapon here because you can spam tetsuzanko a lot faster from fullscreen to get combo points and avoid dropping your combo. + old guns has much better umbran spear than any weapon in the game. 7:51 - ha, skill issue. After patch 1.2 this challenges are easy. This witch time difference is based on timing. If you dodge/block really early you get short witch time, but if you trigger bat within or dodge/block really close to bat within timing you get long witch time. In fact long WT activation window is pretty long, but awful hitboxes makes it hard to do late dodge reliably. Gimmick sections are crime. They brake the flow of already flawed game + they test the skills hack'n'slash players rarely have (e.g. shooting with gamepad). But at least you can use yellow lollipops to skip this shit. And cheese Baal song with pause spam (you can find it on my channel, if you don't know what I mean). Jeanne side chapters are especially bad. In fact I used cheats to get PP there to never play it again. 9:24 - I get it. After my last 2 Bayo2 runs I wanted to do one more Bayo3 PP run, but I'm stuck at gomorrah ride in chapter 1. This is easy gimmick section, but is so freaking annoying I really feel like I should just spit in the face of developers and skip it with lollipop. And having this dilemma (skip or show "skill") throughout the whole game kills my will to do this run. In Bayo1 the only offensive gimmick was chapter 14, that hides excellent Jeanne4 fight. Rout 666 is really bad, but relatively good fight against 3 golden G&G boys is before the bike section. Other gimmicks are short and easy. Bayo2 has only 4 gimmicks (Loki run, horse ride, Mech and Assault jet) but it's really short and easy. It's even fun. And you can skip whole chapter 14 without loosing any fun fights. 9:37 - well, unlocks are pretty good, a couple of special fights is good, but really long unskippable cutscenes, long running through enormouse empty spaces, disgusting platforming are not worth replaying it. Story... Well, this is the only Bayo game I've watched cutscenes. I don't care about story in Bayo. But this one is offensive.
honestly, Bayonetta 3 is a complicated game for me. on one hand, I do think it's a very well made game, but I really feel like the decisions made in it's story straight up ruined the series. Bayonetta was always powerful and confident but 3 made her look bizarrely incompetent. Basically sitting back sucking her thumbs as her alternate versions got killed, and while 2 retroactively improved the story of Bayonetta 1 by making Balder a much more sympathetic character, 3 drags the other two games down by suggesting that the Bayonetta we see in 2 isn't even the same person as the one in Bayonetta 1, just a different version with the same story. On the topic of Bayo's characterization, something felt weird about her in this game and I couldn't quite put my finger on it until someone pointed it out: The decision to base her design on the kid Cereza from Bayo1 kinda infantilizes her look and that clashes HARD with her sexy and flirtatious side. as a result, there's a notable tone-down in her sex appeal, and her dances look more weird and awkward this time around. Jeanne felt in character throughout until she got uncerimoniously impaled by Tilda Swinton. Singularity had the potential to be an interesting antagonist, but it ended up becoming a big ball of nothing. With the Homunculi being man-made, A LOT more explaining was needed to understand why these things were such a threat compared to Angels and Demons, but no explanation of their origin was ever given. Lastly, there's Viola. Throughout the game I found her increasingly frustrating to play as because of how tight the window of her parry witch time was, and while I thought she was an enjoyable enough side-character, I have zero interest in playing a Bayonetta 4 staring her. the passing of the name to her felt incredibly forced and she doesn't have a fraction of the charisma Bayonetta herself had. So overall, this was a game that, while an enjoyable experience while I was playing, ended in such a sour note that I not only have no desire to ever revisit it, but it tainted the franchise as a whole.
I can't say I agree with Bayonetta 3 ruining the series for me, but I get why you feel the way you do, and I do agree A LOT of things about this story could have been handled better.
The Bayonetta reddit said that this game traumatized the Bayo community and I agree cause it certainly traumatized me. Also Bayonetta's sex appeal, they shrunk her breasts, this is a hate crime.
In conclusion! They did dirty to Viola, Cereza and Jeanne! Except Cheshire! He must be protected! HE IS BETTER THAN VIOLA! He should get his own Spin-off game!😂
Sorry the video took a bit longer than Bayonetta 1 or 2's video, this cold's been a bit rough. Question of the Video: What's your favorite Bayonetta game?
But nobody is going to argue Singularity was much better writing wise than Aesir. Aesir was so boring. His design looked awful like looked like Gay Pornstar from LGBT bar, his voice was boring, fight with him was boring and final climax was anticlimatic like ... kick him hundred of meters further to be eaten by dragon. Even soundtrack of him adn Loptr was simply boring compared to Astral Chain tier choir of Singularity. Final Climax of Singularity wasn't as good as Morgana or Jubileus but Super Demonium Ray was cooler compared to kick of ugly Jubileus-Sheba hybrid
HELP A GAY PORNSTAR FROM LGBT BAR 😭😭😭 Also, I like singularity's design and the enemies' design a LOT like way more than angels and demons and I understand you not liking aesir as much as him but we gotta admit that aesir got like a bit of more development basically because we were in company with loki which was a part of him. But yeah I personally enjoyed the final bossfight in bayo 3 more than 2 i agree with that
No singularly reason for his destruction has no explanation Aesir saw free will as a joke and human should only obey him that is way better than no motivation explanation
@pluto3.3 speculation by rodin, which is never confirmed directly by Singularity, so no, I don't know what his motivation is. Balder and loki's other half were direct with bayonetta about their goals
I think Kamiya is simply bored with Cereza character if he retconned whole lore by seperating Bayonetta games inot 3 different realities and killing off the characters (all of them anyway). If Bayo 4 will be Viola game game still will sell milion copies (even faster than biggest Bayo flop Bayonetta 2) for more expensive prize because Kamiya likely will give so much gaming features that people will buy anyway. Anyone knows that Kamiya treats his fanbase like garbage and still buy his games. I never cared about Jeanne because she is just random pointless witch who causes more problems than help. Rodin i completely forgot he exist just like Enzo.
