Bayonetta thread? Bayonetta thread

I was asked to summarize my position. Take my opinion for the disappointed fangirl rambling that it is. Just don't hate me too bitterly.

I am well aware that Bayo 2 would not exist if not for Nintendo putting up the money. However I'm not willing to cough up $300 for a Wii U, not that I have that kind of money and if I did I still wouldn't buy one. I also am well aware that a port will never happen because Nintendo hoards it's IPs like Smaug hoards shiny objects. I resigned myself to the futility of never being able to play this game a long time ago, but others foolishly approached Kamiya about a port. Kamiya responded in typical intrawebz style, establishing himself as a troll game developer. I think that as person in the public eye, he should have handled that better. Though nowadays it seems like most people in the public eye act like assholes anyway and act like they have the right to do because they're famous and we're dirty peasants. Eh...

So to reiterate I know Bayonetta 2 would not exist without Nintendo, but for me it might as well not exist.
 
my only response is this:

it's been proven that the more someone is asked the same question, the less likely they're gonna be nice about answering it. I can see where Kamiya is coming from, and I can respect that you don't like his attitude towards the constant questions.
 
@BlackRoseAngel I get where your coming from. As I've said before, I personally would not recommend a Wii U to someone even for Bayo 2, and I have a Wii U. I've rambled on and on about the things I don't like about it before, and even though I believe the purchase was worth it to me, I had three other siblings to split the price with, and it was a refurbished Wii U with a price cut.

I don't like exclusivity. I get no enjoyment out of owners of other consoles not being able to play the games I play. In my stupidly idealized world, exclusivity would solely be for actual first party titles, like Nintendo's Mario, Zelda, etc, and third party titles would be for everything, or all games would be on one console, but that idealized world is not going to exist any time soon.

In Kamiya's defense, it would be cool if Kamiya could keep a calm, classy demeanor and respond to the requests for a port in a polite manner, but... people have been absolutely unreasonable in their port begging. Platinum and it's fans have explained the situation time and time again, and there are still tons of people who demand and demand, even now. From what I heard, even RoosterTeeth suggested that Bayo 2 could end up getting ported in a fairly recent video! I don't really watch their stuff, but they seem like the kind of guys that would know better! If even they didn't get it, one can only imagine the number of average gamers who still aren't aware.

Given that he's had to deal with port begging since the very first day it was announced as an exclusive, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Kamiya is incredibly sick of it. Even the reasonable requests are likely blurred with the stupid ones, and it's sad that he has to deal with that.

And in Nintendo's defense, there is no reason why Nintendo would let an IP that they are publishing onto other consoles, when they have their own console to put games on... a console that desperately needs more games, no less.

But I understand: not being able to play the game you want to play sucks. It sucks. A lot. And seeing Kamiya aggressively shoot down port requests likely doesn't make it any better.
 
As a Sony and Ninty guy I still want to play KI but hey the console world is full of shit as always
Anyway 4 more days wooooo
Finally got a Platinum rank overall on the demo
I would have gotten PP by now but I've been enraging the enemies to get increased combo scores (Umbran Climax + Raged = Combo Points GET) and they catch me off guard sometimes with their attacks
When I got to the results screen though the Platinum quote changed from the pole dancer bit
I thought it might be fun to compile those rank quotes here as people get them

Bayo 1:
Stone: "Oh, what a day!" (Enzo)
Bronze: "Yay!" (Cereza)
Silver: "Ha ha ha..." (Luka)
Gold: "Heh heh heh...bad!" (Rodin)
Platinum: "I should've been a pole dancer!" (Bayonetta)
Pure Platinum: "Ha ha ha ha!" (Bayonetta) "Mummy, you're the best!" (Cereza)

Bayo 2:
Stone: ???
Bronze: ???
Silver: ???
Gold: "Heh heh heh..." (Rodin) small note that the bad! part is gone
Platinum: "Do you like my new haircut?" (Bayonetta)
Pure Platinum: ??? (Coming soon maybe)

He might have said that too
I always imagined he meant it like "bad" as in good
Like, "you're one bad mother-" shut yo' mouth

I feel like I'm the only person that feels good getting a Bronze trophy, thanks to cute little Ceresita.
I had the opposite sort of reactions at one point: when I was going for all Platinums on Normal, I got sick of getting Golds, I eventually took Rodin's chuckle as him mocking me.

"Shut up, Rodin, I'm gonna get a Platinum next run... STOP LAUGHING!!!"

Yeah, going for Platinums made me a wee bit nutty :/

That's the only thing I'm gonna really miss with Bayo 2: the trophies!!!!! Bayo had its frustrating moments regarding the platinum but I'd do it again it if I had to because of my sheer love for the game. I hope Bayo 2 has some kind of in game trophy thingamajig like the first one did.

P* + Nintendo = life
 
Oh Nintendo, you're such a whore.

By the way they acted I guess they are huh
I mean they let P* do whatever they want with some of their most beloved franchises
P* took Mario, Zelda, StarFox, and Samus and did naughty things to them


l-lewd
 
Maybe Nintendo just really likes using Chain Chomps as weapons

Well blow me over I didn't know that was a weapon in HW
 
Wait what really
I didn't know any of this stuff

The world I know is an illusion
A fantastic, terrible, awesome, chaotic illusion
 
Chain Chomps have also been in Link's Awakening, Four Swords, A Link to the Past, Four Swords Anniversary and WarioWare: Touched

But Chain Chomps are rad as fuck, why wouldn't you try to stuff them into every game.

<Fun fact: Chain Chomps were actually created as a Zelda enemy, but ended up being used for Super Mario Bros. 3 first.>
 
4:10 is what I say to my brother when I come home and he's in major trouble with our mom


Also the camera angle there makes it look like she has a Stand
