    I remember when around the time this game came out. I didn’t play it at first, because I was approaching middle school and didn’t have a lot of free time, and I didn’t know how to explain to my family that this game wasn’t all that sacrilegious from as far as I could tell... but then I saw Jontron’s old top ten boss battles video, saw Jubileus was number one, and the joy and enthusiasm he had sold me to the point to where I knew I had to play it, awkward talk to my dad about why a woman was spanking angels be damned. I’m glad that people are still playing this game, and have that same enthusiasm as when it first came out all these years later. Good video.

    Can we all take a moment to thank baldur who kept his promise to always watch over bayonetta. If he didn't brought young cereza on to the first game, we wouldn't get a third game where cereza saved the multiverse

      @theotherohlourdespadua1131 Год назад +5

      True, Balder really is the MVP in this. Carried Cereza to play with Bayonetta that led to the third game, absorbed the evil essence of Loptr in the second game leading to his "Agent Peacock" phase in the first game and his and Loptr's deaths in the very beginning of the 2nd game...

    Reupload: some footage replaced with CC footage, appropriate attribution given in description, cleaned up some audio pops that got on my nerves and honestly, the CC footage helped me make better visual aids. Mostly.
    This video was also made a year before the Hellena Taylor controversy so how's that for a time capsule.
    Thank you for your support and understanding man that sounds copy paste but I do mean it. Goes without saying if you need Bayonetta footage, feel free to take it from my review.
    On a personal note- be careful using Freepik's photo website. When downloading images they say adding credit in the description is enough, but in reality they want credits in the video itself. Smallprint. Their videos are hosted on Videvo however, and under the Videvo license.

    • @reallylatereviews
      @reallylatereviews  Год назад +1

      Aw Tali is one of my favourite characters. Her growth across the three games is, I mean I have to say I didn't love ME3, but I never felt they did a disservice to her. She starts off as a woman trying to prove her worth in pilgrimage, before having to suffer the judgement of her own people, and goes on to have a hand in determining the future of her species.
      Garrus is in the male hall of fame.
      Morrigan just gives no fucks and gets shit done, and Claudia Black nails that role so well. Yeah big fan haha!

      Besides the ending though, ME3 is good in my book, especially with the Citadel DLC, bringing all the old and new crew members (excluding Mordin 😥) into one big shore leave party with the best banter and jokes. The ultimate fan service dlc and i think my fav dlc in gaming next to blood and whine for the witcher 3

    Regarding the button mashing on PC, customizing the controls through steam input fixes that issue. I have it so all my face buttons become fast repeated presses whilst holding down on the D-pad. Down on the D-pad doesn't actually have an in-game function so I use that as an activator. That way when the time comes I can just hold the acquired face button and it'll mash by itself.

      Thank you! I'm gonna do my best to always offer my honest thoughts confined to the game. Sometimes they're gonna comment on character design, and maybe sometimes I veer into the surrounding but I check to keep it from becoming soapboxing of any kind! But my standpoint has always been more for everyone, balance in all things, so I think mostly puritans will have problems with me and I can live with that haha :D

    Fantastic video. I too share your enthusiasm for the game, but the negatives weigh a bit more to me. I think the QTEs and minigames have made me not want to touch the game again, even though the first time playing it was a 10/10 generational masterpiece. Oh well 3 playthroughs were enough, no game can have infinite replayability like DMC3 and DMC5. Also if you haven't, you should check out God Hand. I think you'll really enjoy it.

    • @reallylatereviews
      @reallylatereviews  6 месяцев назад +1

      I couldn't agree more, it's one of those games where if they took out the QTEs and the minigames, you're talking about a flawless game (close enough). Although yeah, it really is a game that everyone can enjoy once, and maybe twice like me.
      I tried that third playthrhough on infinite climax but I couldn't, I just felt like I was taking too long to perform each section perfectly and got bored haha. I do love Hard difficulty though!
      I think all three of those, DMC3/5 and God Hand are games I'd love to check out, especially DMC. As for God Hand, I'm on the fence about reviewing games with emulators. Mostly for legal reasons at this point haha. But I might look at them myself for fun.

      @@reallylatereviews stopping the playthrough instead of keep playing it and ending up sour on the whole game is definitely a good skill to have.
      Nowadays I use my Ps3 only for Demon's Souls and God Hand, so I understand the difficulties of accessing certain games.
      And DMC sounds right up your alley if you enjoyed Bayonetta this much, and on the plus side, the games have zero QTEs.

    • @reallylatereviews

      This is it really haha! Stopping before we hate it. I've stopped reviews if I'm not having fun early. I would review a game I didn't like but not one I didn't enjoy if that makes sense. If it's not the game for me I'm just not the right reviewer
      This makes sense as well, the availability of games varies so wildly and I hear some games can't run on newer consoles - I may be wrong there. I've heard bad things about the DMC3 PC port, but DMC5 went down well so it's on my list for sure. And AW no QTEs, okay I'm in haha!

    • @reallylatereviews
      @reallylatereviews  Год назад

      So from what I've heard and seen, yeah it's the same sort of game as DMC. But I've also heard Bayonetta handled a lot better than DMC (at the time) so I think you'll be alright.
      To put this in perspective, Bayonetta has 5 difficulty settings. I beat it on normal by brute force and on hard with a bit of finesse after learning the game. I'm terrible at these sort of games so I would say try it on normal, if you feel it's not happening switch down to easy. The game encourages you to come back later on a harder setting anyway, it's one of those rare games where it's more fun to learn in an easy environment than tackle the hardest setting head on.
      Sorry for long answer! But I bet you can beat this game, because my fighting style is scrub tier as well. Thank you also for watching my video and commenting, cause I really appreciate that! Thank you!

    17:46 Stuff like this *really* should be balanced with the commentary much nearer the beginning; that to my jaded, over-tired ears sounded suspiciously like you were giving the "sex sells" excuse / trope a "free ride". (IMO if that's what the marketing bodies @ the Publisher, and perhaps the Developer, have decided will "sell" their game, it's because they've deemed it worthy of having lots of coverage *because* it's easy for them to "market", because there is obvious female anatomy to show off; not because they find it novel. Their "audience", the vast majority of which won't play it anyway, may disagree.) See recent memes of "Tracer's Arse", i.e. referencing the Overwatch games (you did too). While I have subscribed: I can't give this a thumbs up; please keep producing though.

      I get what you're saying about the commentary timing, but I want the intro to be short so I can get to gameplay, which for me is the most important part. That way if someone only cares about gameplay, they can leave quickly without wasting their time. You're right it does sacrifice that balance, though.
      And I've never played Smash Bros! But it wouldn't surprise me if Bayonetta is in there!

    Considering the cost of PC components, I don't understand PC gamers who say they don't want consoles because they're expensive? You're missing out on a lot of great games. Skip one graphics card upgrade and you can buy a Switch. Sadly, chances of Bayonetta 2 & 3 coming to PC are near zero as Nintendo owns those games.

    • @theotherohlourdespadua1131
      @theotherohlourdespadua1131 Год назад +2

      I mean, you can do many things with a powerful PC aside from gaming. Like photo editing, video editing, rendering 3d models (very much requires a beefy PC anyway), type your documents in it, serve as server for your files, etc. PC's main argument is for the amount of money spent on it you can get more functions out of it and being modular you can update the parts thus making it futureproof. Even if it's obsolete it still has its functions like being a server. You can't do much with a console outside gaming (aside from the Steam Deck)...

      Both of these comments are right. I miss lots of games. But my PC does so much more. The truth is I work more than I game, and I've upgraded my GPU less frequently than new consoles are announced because the fact is; ya don't really need a beast graphics card to run Rimworld. It isn't that consoles are more expensive, it's that it mostly isn't worth the expense for me. BananaCake I'm bummed it'll never come to PC because I am old and can't use a controller to save my life rofl!
      You are both right. PC gaming is expensive. And yeah TheOtherOhlourdesPadua, futureproofing and planning negates that. I've owned 4 PCs in my life. I would have owned 5 Playstations, 4 Xboxs and countless Nintendo consoles by now. And I couldn't write my throwaway pulp novel on any of them.
      Also modding. Maaaaan I gotta have my mods. And thank you both for taking the time to comment, and watch, and I hope ya know both PC gamers and console gamers are always gonna poke fun at each other but we all in the same boat and love games.
