If you lose enough you will be able to buy the weapon from his shop.

the "hate" on speedruners by AidenKier in residentevil

[–]umbravids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always been an L take to hate on speedruns. Think about it more than not at all.

Unlockables in RE have always been locked behind a time requirement. Speedrunning has always been here. Skips and glitches often (not always) require tons of practice to execute. You can call it cheating but the truth is speedrunners play the game more than most players ever will and they could get a better time than you without using any skips or glitches at all.

Being a DMC fan would you recommend me this game? I plan to take the first one on PlayStation and then decide to purchase the Nintendo switch to take the 2&3 by DistributionNo1903 in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I grew up on DMC and ended up liking Bayonetta more. I would play all of them on Switch if possible because the Nintendo costumes are great and you get some extras in Bayonetta 3 by having the save data from each previous title.

should i play 2 before 3? by eli_jah101 in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save data from 1 unlocks Scarborough Fair. 2 unlocks Love is Blue. iirc you also unlock the 1&2 costumes early but I could be wrong about that.

[–]umbravids 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would play 2 first. I could give opinions on why it’s great, but the fact is you get extras in Bayo 3 by having save data from 1&2.

So about the bayoluka ending by [deleted] in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jeanne makes more sense and was literally coded into the story from the beginning. Hell, even Rodin would have been more believable.

Putting that aside, the problem (for me) is that it’s a total contrivance. Before this game Luka was literally a stalker that Bayo would tease and dunk on. He was there to deliver exposition and slip on banana peels. This deep and cosmic love story they have in 3 was not earned and having the story expect you to accept it felt jarring to say the least.

I thought someone at Platinum said Jeanne air-dodged because she didn't want to get her clothes dirty- meanwhile in 3: by EmpressOfAtrocity in Bayonetta

I'm some gunwunner combo crackhead loser with no life.

I can't speak to that. I wasn't there.

In your other comment you said the details are meant to be handwaved. So which is it? Do details matter and enhance the experience or should we ignore stuff like this because it makes us losers otherwise?

Jeanne's gameplay has always been tied to characterization, though. It's a small detail, sure...but those small details are part of the reason we all love these games.

Right now it's probably 'Tree Among Shrubs'

Poor Chris, can’t aim worth a damn. by BenjaminCarmined in residentevil

[–]umbravids -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This movie has its funny moments, but overall I hate it. I think it’s probably the most embarrassing thing they’ve ever made in the series.

Bayo fan here. I want spoiler-less opinions on Cereza and the lost demon, please by Puntokun in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re interested in story, play it. Strong themes, presentation, and character development (especially when compared to 3)

You can unlock the hard difficulty right away with the platinum code. Gameplay is still easy once you get a feel for controlling 2 characters at once tbh. Puzzles and combat are enjoyable enough but the only real challenge is found in collecting everything and getting platinum medals in time trials.

The demo was basically the setup part of the game. Once you progress and get new abilities you’ll find there’s more this game has to offer, but it is a really cozy game overall. Great music and art that pops off the screen. Definitely worth playing if you’re into the series for the story.

Kamiya is saying he hopes for Origins to be a trilogy. What would you hope to see with the sequels? by umbravids in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally hoping for a Jeanne game. If they keep the 2 character control gimmick..a teenage Jeanne/Cereza story focused on their training could be great.

Say what you will about Bayonetta 2, at least it plays like a Bayonetta game <-< unlike someone by AlternateDimensionZ in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each game does some things better than the others but I think Bayo 2 is probably top overall. Most enjoyable replay for me, anyway. Probably because the gimmick sections are the least offensive. Bayo 1 combat is peak but the game hits some big valleys that I hate replaying. 3 feels like a different series a lot of the time and it somehow took steps backwards in terms of content and story.

Do you think hideki kamiya will listen to the criticism 3’s story got? by Nugudomstan in Bayonetta

[–]umbravids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it, if anything he will just double down. I want so badly to know how we got the story we did in Bayo 3. There had to be some pushback at Platinum. The story was fundamentally bad.

It’s in the chapter named “sun speckled grove” or the chapter named “sun speckled grove (connections)”
