The great thing is, Bayonetta keeps throwing sexual innuendos and gestures everywhere but nobody comments or encourages it or make any derogatory remarks, they actively brush it off, all her enemies are focused more on how much of a threat she is and Luka is too intimidated by her personality and being dangerous to try and make an actual move. She is doing all of these for herself and because she wants to, and that's what female empowerment is about. So I don't see why feminists see her as "fan service" since she's the one helping herself to the attention.

I wouldn't say she's a role model because human lives are really irrelevant to her (especially because they always get reincarnated) but she is an amazing character, and she's written how women in media should be written. She doesn't feel like less or insecure because she's a woman, and doesn't have to prove herself to anybody because of that. She's secure and confident in herself and I love that so much.

Imagine having a rolemodel of pixels

​​@@merimursu123People have had role models in media since the beginning of time lil bro, Jesus for instance

Exactly, anyone offended by Bayonetta is living in the 18th century! Like most of Congress!

Apollo9898LPs for Bayo1 that was also like my "say no more" and then "moon river" on the 2nd one? SAY NO MORE.

true

You ran out of ink to you bastards

Jared Hoeft which is ironic considering in the first game your fighting angels, and in the second demons :P

@@soulelevation9696 but still mostly angels

It makes a lot of sense from a gameplay perspective through, all the moves and attacks you’re supposed to see are colourful and easy to notice, but in Bayo 2 certain fights (like The Two Meet) are a clusterfuck of flashy colours where nobody knows what is happening

Santiago Torres yeah, that’s one of the many reasons the Masked Lumen fight in Chapter 4 (I think? Maybe a different chapter I don’t remember) is one of the worst designed fights in the sequel.

Santiago Torres Wait Jeanne did? That’s odd, because when playing as her you get infinite dodges.. lmao

Subtle sexiness (in terms of clothing) , feminine, not OVERLY slutty, owns her sexiness, actually has a personality other than her sexiness .... I think you're right, lol

When people complain about her being sexualized I only hear "women aren't allowed to be sexy". Seriously. Designed by a woman and it shows. Honestly she's an awesome character and for me,her being sexy it's just a plus lmao

Donatelia Sakura what do you mean “awesome character?” There’s barely anything there the last I played the two games. Not much In terms of a character arc.

@@moonmoon2479 Then you weren't paying enough attention

_Clickb4ited _ I was. There isn’t much there, what is there is very basic, or not very interesting. There is room to expand or explore, but only time will tell if they do that.

Gracious and Glorious: Allow us to introduce ourselves

It really sucks when you play that mode and meet enemies who can’t be hit with melee attacks unless you activate witch time...

@@livith9 moon of makhara bud

@@livith9 You can parry perfectly with MoMK to activate WT, use Brace of Time, or use breakdance to put out their flames so you can directly melee them :) Not to mention you can still hit them with your sword, whip, Angel weapons & Wicked Weaves. You don't need witch time for a single fight & the game is at its best on its highest difficulty. It's how it's "meant" to be played 🤓 WT is still fun tho kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLeGnbab27y0kZs.html

@@NevxrBackDown I mean, I figured out a way to defeat those enemies even without witch time, but your suggestions seems better than what I came up with and are definitely appreciated😂 I suck at parrying tho, so I probably won’t use that😅

Gameflow V settings are setting

Gameflow V What

She's not American

@@ProdbyVicky0 She's a European character, nothing to do with America. And the game is Japanese so...

Mayonetta 😂 I know it's a typo but Damn I'm dying

I’m not sure what you are talking about. As someone that has platinums in every chapter on both games, she feels clunky and slow. The difficulty seems to come from high damage numbers, not much else. Combos are right at the loading screen so making your own often doesn’t work in terms of the score system. OP is not the way I would describe her.

@@moonmoon2479 There is nothibg that's clunky about Bayonetta really. The whole combat system is incredibly fluid

destiny spider it’s difficult to describe. Maybe clunky isn’t the right word. Play the game properly, and it feels slow and awkward and never smooth and fun. Dodge offset, hold combos, and bring forced to use panther within to get any sort of speed. The combat system feels awkward I guess, only way I can describe it. It’s fluid, but when the rest of it is this weirdly done, it feels like the equivalent of bad pacing, except in individual encounters. Fluid doesn’t mean much when the system itself feels janky.

@@moonmoon2479 I pretty much agree. It's so fast and frantic but the more you play the more you realize the game only wants you play in one specific way and it's too gimmicky and unfocused to be that rewarding unless you are playing on non stop infinite climax where you don't have to worry about witch time being inconsistent mechanic and enemies behaving in stupid ways like not attacking or doing anything for long periods of time. There's a ton of combos and weapons and techs, so there's lots of variety but eventually it wears thin partially because of the two weapon set limit, I get they didn't want to make things too complex but having the option there to use all the weapons at once would have been nice just as an option for the hardcore players I personally probably wouldn't use them all at once as well, it's just would provide so much more options even if you just were able to equip and fast swap one more weapon set, just having two to quick switch between is dated imo DMC3 did that in 2005, games outside the genre let you freely quick switch between an arsenal of about a dozen weapons (DOOM) it just feels so limited and basic now. You are technically able to equip 4 weapons/guns at once but it only ever feels like it's 2 because at any given time you have 2 equipped and they combine with each other to form combos, for me if I equip durga and onyx rose for example I don't feel like I have a weapon + shotgun it feels like I have a shotgun weapon, if that makes sense I don't like how you are pushed into using wicked weaves so liberally. They are not hard to do, you just have to memorize dial combos and if you don't learn to use them proactively with dodge offset you won't be rewarded by the game at all even if you are actually playing well and even using dodge offset if you aren't hitting those wicked weaves consistently you might as well be spamming stinger the whole time no matter what you're doing the game will give you stone ranks. When it first introduced the wicked weave it specifically says it's used as finisher in combos, I took that to mean as a way to end any entire combo string using a variety of moves, not as the universal finisher to a ton of different set dial combos Idk this is all really nitpicky honestly, I think the game is good and considering it came out in 2009, it's only like 4 years after DMC3 and 2 after DMC4, so a lot of the limiting aspects of the design can be forgiven and understood, the game was probably in development before DMC4 came out and expanded quick switching even more from DMC3

@@moonmoon2479 It's like I really appreciate how Platinum tried to create a system that punishes mindless button mashing, but I think they went too far with it to the point of punishing things that actually take skill. Ranking systems in action games generally have the problem of this, of being too strict with that they consider stylish, but Bayonetta really takes it to a whole new extreme. Imagine if when playing as Nero in DMC using anything except buster attacks for extended periods results in losing style. style rating doesn't really matter in DMC but it effects how people perceive the game, if that was how they rated your Nero it would be way too limiting and make you only want to use the buster if you care about style on the games terms. wicked weaves are not as separated from the rest of the kit as busters for better or worse, so it doesn't feel quite like that example I gave but it's a similar feeling. I think the system goes so far it de incentivizes learning how the weapons and guns behave on a micro level for simple but controlled and effective techs, like gun raves in DMC for example that's something some people might see as button mash because you are just pressing three buttons repeatedly in sequence but it's controlled and precise and serves a purpose, it's a simple technique kinda removed from the intended play using the combos that combines moves and abilities to form a new ability of it's own, this is why I don't like Bayonetta as much as DMC. Bayo doesn't encourage you to experiment with cancelability of moves and uses of moves in the micro-level of the game, things that could make just a slight difference in a combo but still matters. It feels like those parts of Bayo are kinda gutted even, shooting the guns with X just feels completely useless when you can extend any attack with guns

Also her being the left eye is because back then the left hand was considered evil.

They actually did a shockingly extensive job pinning down the lore of witches. The hair and its usage, the pacts with demons, the whole "special witch-guns" thing, even Bayo having a beauty mark is a reference to actual beliefs concerning witches. About the only thing that isn't is the whole pulling a chainsaw out of her cunt thing. XP

For the MOST PART agreed, but honestly that comparison can fuck right off. Some fanservice is awkward? Granted. But 12 year olds? Anime and other ecchi/romantic-comedy Japanese media have high school settings most often. Don't strawman and make people out to be pedos. (And before you say "but high school is still underage" sexual shenanigans happen in high school. You need to be 18+ for porn, but a romance and an occasional gag in high school is fine).

@@HexManiacQuinn Exactly plus people seem to forget the age of consent standard in America doesn't apply to the rest of the world. It can range in Asia from 21 all the way down to 9 depending on the part of Asia you live in. We see this is weird yet we don't see the Hindu's treating cows like gods and literally stopping in the middle of the road on the way to work for them. Human societal standard makes no sense sometimes.

gay soul😂

Is Mari Shimazaki gay? I’m legitimately asking, I couldn’t find any information online.

shes oversexualised as japan has a problem with women being sexual. this is a girl who KNOWS shes hot and owns it. rather than being meek and modest.

She is women right?

Abhishek Chaudhry she was designed by Mari Shimazaki. When I looked her up I couldn’t find anything on her sexuality though.

Oh those gold version of fire and lightning? Yeah, they're a bitch to fight mostly because you cannot use witch time. Well, it isn't hard. Just...inconvenient. Witch time is the essential part of battling and you get so used to it that when you face a challenge that doesn't let you use it, it does throw you off guard.

Who isn't against Anita

@Pigskipar Porky - does her ex still count?

Pigskipar Porky Seriously, I have feminist friends who hate Anita as well lol

***** they have my non-feminist blessings. may their lives be full of peace and teh lolz *edit: along with actual equal rights.

Tom Tinker Thanks, they are some honest to god good people :)

I can clarify that. I have played and beaten this game various times and there were times where my timing was off and I died because I would press the button too early. There's also that one part in the holy grounds level where that damn angel serpent eats you if you don't jump in the right direction but you can't see where the fuck you're going cuz of a dust cloud from the platform your on breaking apart...ugh I hate that part so much.

made by the same person and I think that I read someplace that they take place in the same universe

It's fun, insane (like, what the heck were the devs smoking and drinking? And where can I get some?), and it's pretty well done. I hate how flashy some scenes are, because of all the pickups/things flying around. (I normally play JRPGs, and shooters...and learning to think in 3D is...frustrating.) The game is not perfect. I should be able to watch a cutscene without having to press x to NOT die.
