as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, I knew then and there that purchasing Nintendo’s handheld was an inevitability by virtue of it being my’s here and I’ve finally rolled credits, I kinda wish that it wasn’t made in the first place. Althoughis chock full of shiny new weapons and monsters to test them out on, there’s not enough fanservice in the world to make up for how much of a catastrophic letdown it is, thanks to its garbage fire of a story and its mistreatment of its beloved characters.
Although’s launch should be cause for celebration given that it coincides with the series’ 10th anniversary, its legacy won’t be one of triumph; this is the worst game in the trilogy for how it rakes fans over piping-hot coals during the march toward its lackluster finale.games are rollercoaster rides of high-octane action that let you unleash a multitude of satisfying combos upon waves of monsters amid creative combat arenas.
There's a story in Bayonetta?! I only want sensual gun heels, combat and an appreciation of the feminine golden ratio
According to kotaku people play Bayonetta for the story 🙄
I only played the original Bayonetta, there was no real story in it. For me the appeal was the silly characters and seeing the monsters you fight be introduced to you
'I made a game with really sick combat, weird character ideas and tons of interesting set pieces' Kotaku: 'Cool, what's it about?' 'Uhhh.... does it matter?'
Horrible story cause some shippers fantasy was broken, lmao.
Who plays Bayonetta for the story? True fans play to do sick combos.
What about the gameplay man, aren't you guys supposed to be video game journalists...oh answered my own question lul
PlatinumGames' latest proves there’s not enough fanservice in the world to make up for a terrible story.
Bayonetta es como las porno, lo que importa es la acción, no la historia
[snicker]
People play these games for the story?
Who plays Bayonetta for the story?
I actually really like the ending and ''We are as One'' was such a beautiful track to end on!
The ending is terrible and an they'll put an Asspull just for a character. Ain't telling too much.
Didn’t have a issue with it period🤷🏾♂️
Maybe I’m better off I skipped this one 😌
Literally no one plays Bayonetta for the story. We all know it’s nonsensical garbage.
Kotaku latest post proves there's not enough posts in the world to make it more than a bootleg version of buzzfeed or polygon. Enjoy being perma ban from Nintendo
This game is like kingdom hearts for me. 0 idea of what’s going on in the story. Love every single second of it.
I almost clicked this on my google feed but thankfully I saw the Kotaku logo and didn't waste my time.
Ah Kotaku being Kotaku and doubling down on an a weird and objectively retardd take, as if that would stop their previous article on the topic from being shitty meme material just by bandwagoning themselves lmao
Kotaku sos BASURA. The best thing that could happen to the world of video games is for Kotaku to stop commenting.
Not gay = bad storyline… 0/10
Isaiah is now in a tight 3-way race with Sisi and Ethan for the title of Kotaku’s shittiest writer.
Yeah, y'all need to stop doing reviews. Holy fuckin cringe.
wow thanks for suddenly spoilers halfway through the review with no warning, what the hell dude
As if 1 and 2 had a great story either. The fans have enjoyed the series all the same. Fan service may not make up for a terrible story, but gameplay certainly can!
'Amazing game but the ship in my head from 2009 was wrong. How dare they do this to me? LGBTQ+ Proud but but...' I guess we forgot the B in LGBTQ+ ehh? I promise you will be ok.
The fact that people could watch Bayonetta 1’s ending and say that Luka and Bayo getting together came out of nowhere is baffling to me.
I personally love beyonettas crazy over the top anime trope shenanigans the fan service is just a bonus plus im totally here for rodans dad look
Was hoping the story would be better, but, I still plan on getting the game.
I feel like anybody who played the first game should've at least known about Viola's deal, given what her demon looks like and what its name is 🤷🏾♂️
Because I play Bayonetta for the story.
All that drama for this huh?
Imma say it for the folks in the back , you don’t play a platinum game for a riveting story. You play it for frantic smooth hack and slash combat.
If the gameplay is solid that's all I care about. But, I have to wait for mine because Amazon is fucking shit, or Nintendo? I was lucky to get the Masquerade Edition on Amazon (or was I?) but, they never actually had any. Now scheduled for 11/12, which is 2 weeks later. Eh.
Good gameplay cant carry bad story....... Me: I'm in it for the gameplay...
once again proves their shitty politics interfere with their ability to give a proper game review. Absolute garbage publications.
Yikes XD
i think the game is great story is fine better then 1 and 2 i hope theres a 4th lol
The butt hurt is strong in this one.
The fact that Bayonetetta was just a Devil May cry clone but sexed up is all that needs to be said for not having a story. Boring franchise is just that.
Not trying to be that guy…I have never came to bayonetta for the story. The game play is fun AF.
I dare you to give low scores to the new GoW game because krato is not part of the 🌈🏳️⚧️. Go, do this and see what that community will do to you 🤷🏼 but then again, you’ll look the other way bcuz Sony has you in their pocket so 10/10 right?
Do not underestimate power of fanservice !
Check GameFaq
I've never seen people bring up the story in this series (or any stylish action game) as much as they do now and all the people who do just seem pissed cuz she ain't gay 💀
Very good review. I recently played the first two on the switch and while they are fun games, I did not find them to be anything groundbreaking.
Kotakus new tweet has shown that the fans will love a game for what the game is, a fun time. Good for the fans, and the haters can just cry.
If the story is there, it can be criticised regardless of how 'awesome' the gameplay is. Why are our standards so low?
Fanservice shouldn't be a reason to make the game successful. The gameplay is what people enjoyed the most about this series.
EEEH? People bought a Bayonetta game searching for a compelling story even though the gameplay has always been the main focus? HOW LAME!
Summary of this review for those who don't want to waste their time: Oh no Bayonetta isn't gay and doesn't pander to my delusional headcanon of her, 0/10
Review be like 'Bayonetta no gae = game bad'
I've seen some hot take reviews in my day. I have. But this seriously takes the cake in deep fried dipshittery.
So what your saying is the game is bad because she's a heterosexual character?...I got news for you, not everything has to pander to a certain group of some kind.
who cares 3 bayonettas is fucking epic
next on Kotaku: the terrible narrative of Tetris
Is this still butthurt that she isn't (and never was) gay?
Bayonetta 3 10/10 Kotaku 1/10
Kowoke
Not enough golf clubs eh?
My heccin queerino bayonettarino!!
Remember, is bayonetta. The story is and has always been trash. You play these for stylish character action gameplay with a plot barely thick enough to get you from location to location.
Sorry I couldn’t hear you over how freaking cool the game still is. It may just be me but like, it’s Bayonetta. I’m not expecting God of War metaphors and story.
Really? Skyrim and Witcher have shitty stories and are full of western boys fanservice and people love those.
Is this again because she is not gay?
seriously? 😂
Y’all really had to one-up Polygon’s review by not only complaining that the game wasn’t your own personal head cannon but then just listing every major story plot point.
That headline tells me this game needs to be bought.
The story was good. The hell you talking about?
I could live with the story, but the ending was a punch into the face. Worst ending in a video game ever
This is not an RPG. If you are playing it for the story, you are doing it wrong.
As if 1 and 2's stories were anything to write home about. Made as much sense as Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, and I love that movie.
Still hate the company because of the liar karen not back in the game or is it because elon musk charge you 8$ per month?.
Lets be honest most people dont play these games for the story. More for the wild gameplay i would say.
Literally mad because the game doesn't align with your politics. Never change Kotaku. You guys are always good for a laugh.
Who put you on the planet?
the entire anime industry: are you sure about it?
Question: does anyone really care about the story in this series? Hell 1 and 2's story was messed up as well and I still enjoyed it.
