My only problem with this game is I feel like it's being held back by the hardware in a very impacting way. Makes me sad it's not something at the PS4 lvl at least.
yeah well tough luck, the only reason we have Bayonetta 3 (or 2 for that matter) is because Nintendo footed the bill because neither Sony or Microsoft wanted to pay for the game so you can blame that one on them
On behalf of Helena Taylor I donated to Walmart and they gave me a copy of the game in return. I actually wasn't going to buy the game but I did after all of her lying
I was hoping falcon would mention the VA change and how it worked for this game. I am glad to see the game is good and people see to be enjoying it. Makes me happy when someone as entitled as Ms. Taylor seems to be, gets a reality check, and the fans get a good product.
I'll never understand how she thought this would work out in her favor. She just destroyed her career. No one will hire her after this nonsense, she's not worth the trouble because she's not famous enough that her name can carry a game. Did she really think the studio wouldn't respond with facts/receipts? She likely believed her name carried way more weight than it does (none). Really stupid move.
Imo when people when talk about platinum it isn't very common that people discuss it. It's just as good or almost as good as anything they have developed.
I played Bayonetta 1 until yesterday and got into Bayonetta 3 today. Love the gameplay and controls. The graphics are okayish. My only complaint is that the photo mode sucks. The graphics are so pixelated in the photo mode and it looks worse than the in game graphics. I’m not sure if I’m missing any setting.
Funny you say that, im inclined to believe it’s a bug. Because in every photo mode ever made the game jumps to its highest possible resolution while in photo mode. Is a still image, no alpha effects, it’s easier for the game to manage. But here I’ve tested it a few times and it’s almost as if it drops down to below 540p as soon as you open it. And it really just dosent make much sense. Hopefully they figure it out and maybe fix it up because I love playing around with photo modes in games. But frankly if that’s the one thing that sucks in this game I’m fine with that because everything else rocks!
I love Astral Chain too. That game is a really great example of one player controlling two characters at the same time. The Infernal Demons are more of an extension of or a tag-in for Bayonetta.
The gameplay is so well done in these games. I wish more of these style games came back and they would make another God of War like the older ones. Thanks for the review!
I didn't buy a switch until Bayonetta 3 was announced. So I have been waiting for this game for years. Really enjoying the game so far. They brought back alot of the good elements from the previous 2 games. Haven't finished the game yet so can't judge the story but I am loving the combat.
I just got into Bayonetta last year. My first time way before this, my reaction was "I don't really get it". But now it's "I don't really get it" in a positive light. This franchise stands out so much on it's own. I'm DROOLING with anticipation to play the 3rd.
For those worrying that the gameplay might become too much "puppet mastery" with Bayonetta, as you can use the demons for a long while (i know i was worried about it), it really depends on you, you can just keep controling the demons for extended periods of time, OR you can decide to quickly summon them, pop 2 commands and then release the button and keep playing on your own while the demon finishes the attacks, wich is actually pretty effective! You can also use "flash attacks" in wich you simply press the summon button at the end of the combo so they come deliver a big blow at the end (kinda replicating how it worked on Bayo 2 when umbran climax was on). So don't worry too much about it, but do experiment a little with what i said, because i seen a lot of gameplay of people not figuring that out and just controlling the demons a long while.
@@KainsAddiction yup she really manipulated everyone , you can have a debate for 15k , but intentionally misleading us and attacking the new voice actress was downright horrendous
@@Sailed_away what’s crazier is she should have lost sympathy from people when she called for a boycott. Wishing failure on a project is the worst thing you can do.
Bayonetta 3 is the next evolution for the series. While Bayo 2 was more iterative and can be reduced to "more of the same" as Bayo 1, Bayo 3 is brimming with new innovations for the gameplay. They took everything they learned from Bayo 2, Astral Chain, and probably a lot of stuff from Scalebound and made something amazing.
I have to talk about Loading Screens and Transitions.. These are the best Loading Screens and Gameplay Transitions in gaming. Period. Going from gameplay to story or gameplay to loading screen and back again is some of the best I've ever seen. Not only did it improve on the previous games but it's so smooth.
Yeah this new entry to the series is really good for the gameplay options it has. I did like Bayonetta 2 more as far as colors go, but Bayonetta 1 had the best gameplay and I think 3 is doing what it can to replicate that feeling again just in a different light.

Good review, Sir Falcon. I'm gonna be grabbing this. I was just awaiting the reviews. Kinda knew it would be solid, but with all that drama I was slightly worried. DMC5 and Nier:Automata solidified my love for this genre and I loved the first Bayonetta. I didn't play the 2nd game yet, so I might just play it after this one.
Falcon: "If you are not the type of person who likes this kind of humor as I very much am." Me, who relates to Falcon a bit too much sometimes: "Welp, gonna have to buy this game now."
My only 2 complaint about this game and I dont know if this would count as a spoiler but I wanted to go more universes and see more versions of Bayonetta, and it's implied that every game we play is a different Bayonetta from a different verse
Thank you SO MUCH for this Review, i was really unsure about this game, i first looked up on another Review from IGN and that one was kinda ominous and probably more negativ about the game. But this Video makes me wanna buy the game so much, you guys've never let me down with your recommendations so far and now Im really looking forward for this game, seriously big shout out to you guys
It seems like this is a videogame for people who just love videogames. It's a gamer's game. Nothing pretentious; it's not trying to have a super emotional story, lifelike graphics, etc. It's just a fun-ass game.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 You do realize casuals are what make or break how successful a game is, right? That’s the reason a majority of sequels get made.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 Casuals most certainly do make or break a game's success. Why do you think COD, Fortnite, Overwatch, Rocket League, and others are so popular?

@Heroes Never Quit i disagree. I know a lot of casuals that tried those games and found out they weren’t for them. Unfortunately, they already paid for them. So they own them. Elden Ring brought in a surprising amount of casuals to the game. Being as it was fairly easy for a Souls game.
blame Sony and Microsoft, the only Bayonetta 2 and 3 exist is because Nintendo pay for them when neither of the other two wanted to so tough luck for them
Back when Platinum was searching for a home, for Bayonetta. Everyone turned them down, but Nintendo. We are fortunate, and lucky the series is continuing still
@Passing Stranger do not listen to XXZenon. They are one of those puppets. It is available digitally on Switch, all 3 games in the series. Or the first game is also on PC. 2 was on Wii U. 3 is Switch exclusive.
I got this game of a family member who knows I'm a huge devil may cry fan but I never got into bayonetta but since I got the 3rd one I brought the first two OH MY GOD HOW HAVE I NEVER PLAYED THESE like I'm still on the first one but I know I'm going to love this series forever
environments look kinda dull and empty. especially in the scenes where the mc is super small fighting a big boss it all looks not very good tbh. especially with constant splashes of effects, it all gets mixed up. but i guess you wouldnt notice it during great gameplay, you will focus on the gameplay and fights, so its not that important. Its just that watching this video I was very focused on the visuals.
I'm sure before falcon sat down to record this he took a big breath in because he knew the comments would just be a shitstorm XD Just remember, it's not about you falcon and you did a great job on the review as always
i was a bit put off by the visuals when i first saw the game, but the amount of shit that happens in the gameplay more than makes up for it. i can't imagine this game running on the switch if it looked like bayonetta 2
Not very far in yet but I love it so far. The visuals and villain is incredible. He's been a blast and a half. I will say, I am feeling more at home with the demon summoning here as it feels like an extension of Platinum Games last big Nintendo outing, Astral Chain. I'm lucky in the fact that my skills with that game do have some direct bleed over it seems. That being said I still have a lot to learn and get better at.
I thought maybe I was crazy for thinking that Bayonetta 2 had better looking environments than this game. I'm glad someone said it. As a long time fan I'm here mostly for the story & gameplay, but it does kind of suck that this game is being held back by the hardware. When I first saw the homunculi they just struck me as not being as interesting as angels/demons from the first two games. I'll go into this hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
@@InnerRise Yeah keep riding that lie, $4000 per session for 5 sessions = $20,000, not $4000 for all of it. If anyone is greedy it's helena, she does way less work than the developers, and expects a six figure sum plus residuals. 🤡
I got this on release day, still waiting for it to arrive, i'm not jazzed about the performance issues and the dithering but it is what it is with Nintendo stubbornly refusing to give us more powerful hardware, that being said, i'm still really looking forward to playing this one (random end point but i wish SEGA would announce Persona 6 already too)
Chaotic and hard to follow is right. It’s just one thing about these games that I could never really enjoy. It’s probably the epitome of a button masher. Honestly, I can probably close my eyes and play through most of the combat sections just by mashing the attack and dodge button with headphones on.
I absolutely LOVE... watching these videos about games I've never even played the prequels to lol I want to, but we all know how it goes with backlogs.
...My favorite Platinum Games title (and what I think is their best work IMO) is Astral Chain. In point-of-fact, it may arguably be one of the best titles in the Switch's entire library.
-Sylvia Earle, 1995 “on balance, if I had to choose the most interesting and important time in all of human history to live, it would be now. As never before, and perhaps as never again, the choices made in the near future will determine mankind's success, or lack of it. These are the "good old days" sure to be envied by those in the future.”
If I may ask why is skill roof being to high a con? With games like this being a bit less long then other AAA the point is to master the combat just look dmc with the style ranking?
Absolutely love this game. If I had anything to gripe about it would be the enemies. They are just kinda bland and boring. There is an option in the beginning to turn gore on and off but I would hardly consider the green goo gore in the first place. I felt like Nintendo sneakily pushed for the Homunculi for that very reason.
Kamiya himself (who cares little about confidentiality issues) has confirmed that Nintendo never meddles in the development of Bayonetta, and blood does not always have to be red, in many games like Halo or TW there are enemies that have the blood of others colors, that the blood of the homunculi is green is only by creative decision to represent that they are something alien to the world of Bayonetta
@@Lu.- This wasn't a huge gripe I had just my only criticism. Not as much about the gore as it is the blandness of the enemies. The anges and demons just had more diverse designs and felt more realistic and interesting. When fighting the next big humunculi it just felt like a slightly different shape of the same thing
I didn't even know a new Bayonetta was in the works! I was actually kinda worried the franchise had died and would never come back. Thanks for absolutely smashing this review and giving me a pleasant surprise!
Looks pretty good as a whole package but I gotta say Nintendo is really falling behind in the graphics department this game looks like something out of the very end of the 360 PS3 generation.
oh, so no mention about that story around the production of the game. Well, it's pretty good to separate game from this, tho I was kinda ready for a: "so, I know you probably heard about the recent news in this game, but we'll talk about it in another video at another moment"
Now you listen to me, bird-man! "EYE-teration"? You might have your buddy Jake fooled, with your cutesy little mispronunciations. But I'm on to you, Falcon. Fool me once...
I appreciated how early you were able to get some of the accessories without replaying a level 3+ times. That said, I'm the clown that played most of the game with Gaze of Despair on, and my score got murdered for it.
I knew this game would be over-the-top flashiness with no compelling purpose. They just went for what they thought sold the most. I can see people beating this and rarely ever playing it again (unless it's a reboot in 4k 120fps).
You haven't played it have you? the Bayonetta community is discovering how to make new combos every day and people don't stop playing it over and over again because the game is made for that
I dont think I understand. There is a very clear reason why the 'bad guys' in the previous two games are threats, no? 1. You're a witch from hell, therefore you fight angels. Pretty simple, first game doesn't try to be very complicated with that. 2. Your best friend gets snatched by a demon from hell so you go there to get her back. If anything the 'bad guys' in 3 make no sense. There is zero explanation as to why they're attacking in the first place. You dont even know once you finish the game. The story in an action game doesn't have to be deep but c'mon, at least tell me WHY shit is going down.
“Ridiculous in the best way possible,” is honestly all I am looking for in Bayonetta.
And boy they delivered

Yeah typical platinum you unlock the depth and all the combos from bayo 2 are there for the most part

Geez, you can tell that Platinum really used what they learned from Astral Chain with the summons. It looks pretty smooth.
Gods yes, the tapping the summon button at the end of combos and dodges is right in my muscle memory from Astral Chain.
Feel like that game was slept on. No one seems to talk about it. I still play that game to this day. It's so good!
@@ModestPavement It sold well enough for Nintendo to want to own the rights to it. Couldn’t have been that slept on.

This might help: In photo mode press Y, turn motion blur/film grain all the way down and sharpness all the way up
It's bizarre isn't it? You can see the resolution drop when you enable it and it should be doing the exact opposite

Underrated comment.

Nah
My copy should be in the mail today! Been playing bayonetta 2, it's there amiibo support in 3? Been super fun playing bayonetta 2 with chain chomp!!!
Not very far in yet but I love it so far. The visuals and villain is incredible. He's been a blast and a half.
I will say, I am feeling more at home with the demon summoning here as it feels like an extension of Platinum Games last big Nintendo outing, Astral Chain. I'm lucky in the fact that my skills with that game do have some direct bleed over it seems. That being said I still have a lot to learn and get better at.
👍🏼
We've played Astral Chain! There's dozens of us! DOZENS!
I thought maybe I was crazy for thinking that Bayonetta 2 had better looking environments than this game. I'm glad someone said it. As a long time fan I'm here mostly for the story & gameplay, but it does kind of suck that this game is being held back by the hardware. When I first saw the homunculi they just struck me as not being as interesting as angels/demons from the first two games. I'll go into this hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
I agree. It looks good but it looks dull.
When platinum hits they HIT.

Unfortunately they were too greedy to hit Helena's bank account with the appropriate amount of money.
@@InnerRise I thought it was revealed that she exaggerated that? She still probably wasn't paid enough though I'm sure.
@@InnerRise Yeah keep riding that lie, $4000 per session for 5 sessions = $20,000, not $4000 for all of it. If anyone is greedy it's helena, she does way less work than the developers, and expects a six figure sum plus residuals. 🤡

Me who already bought it:interesting
I got this on release day, still waiting for it to arrive, i'm not jazzed about the performance issues and the dithering but it is what it is with Nintendo stubbornly refusing to give us more powerful hardware, that being said, i'm still really looking forward to playing this one (random end point but i wish SEGA would announce Persona 6 already too)
8:20 "You also play as 'Geene'" Wtf? JEANNE!
Hey falcon ! Was waiting for this one for a while .
Chaotic and hard to follow is right. It’s just one thing about these games that I could never really enjoy. It’s probably the epitome of a button masher. Honestly, I can probably close my eyes and play through most of the combat sections just by mashing the attack and dodge button with headphones on.
My first Bayonetta game love it crazy combat
👍🏼
This game possibly topping Metal Gear Rising?! Ok I’m sold!
1:45 “We don’t play Bayonetta for the story.”
Excuse you. I play Bayonetta for the *plot*
Baal Zebul's new form really was my favorite section.
Looking forward to playing number 3, really enjoyed 1 & 2!
I'm so behind on Platinum games. I still need to beat The Wonderful 101, Nier Automata, Astral Chain and now Bayonetta 3
I love falcon reviews especially with bayonetta.
👍🏼

I absolutely LOVE... watching these videos about games I've never even played the prequels to lol I want to, but we all know how it goes with backlogs.
Glad you like them!
So this is Platinums' DMC5, good to know. 👍🏼
👌🏼
I love the series
I'm about 3 chapters in I think on 3. Tbh I'm happy Enzo has his personality back compared to Bayonetta 2
Yeah I already got the game. But I'm going leave a like. Have a good day.
👌🏼👍🏼
Just buy it! Yes its held back but we couldnt ask for a developer more familiar with the hardware.. plays fantastic, looks great, intense!
we need the next switch asap
We don't need anything asap, you need a degree, job and girlfriend though
@@Abner_Aharoni how do you know they don't already have those things?
@@Abner_Aharoni i can tell that you dont have any of that
@@Abner_Aharoni you need a hobby
@@Abner_Aharoni how do we know you don’t also need those?
Does the voice actress change for bayo make anyone else have a hard time enjoying the game? It really breaks my immersion trying to get into the story
1:04 "titular" 🤣🤣
Jake Baldino refused to voice this review having been only offered a free copy of the game.
💀
too bad its not on pc :/
😞
It is if you play it on Yuzu, the Switch emulator. Although I don't know how well Yuzu will run this game....
its been a long since falcon really loves one game... love you 3000
I finished it now. And I really enjoyed playing it. More then 24 hours gameplay, and this game impressed me in many levels.
...My favorite Platinum Games title (and what I think is their best work IMO) is Astral Chain. In point-of-fact, it may arguably be one of the best titles in the Switch's entire library.
I see NOTHING WRONG with the Graphics People are just BUT HERT because the game is NOT ON other platforms.

As never before, and perhaps as never again, the choices made in the near future will determine mankind's success, or lack of it. These are the "good old days" sure to be envied by those in the future.”
I'd hate to be that guy, but I couldn't stop looking at the Glutes lol 10/10 game
If I may ask why is skill roof being to high a con? With games like this being a bit less long then other AAA the point is to master the combat just look dmc with the style ranking?
Got Bayonetta last year I think. Just got Bayonetta 3 for Christmas! I’m enjoying it so far.
Absolutely love this game. If I had anything to gripe about it would be the enemies.
They are just kinda bland and boring. There is an option in the beginning to turn gore on and off but I would hardly consider the green goo gore in the first place. I felt like Nintendo sneakily pushed for the Homunculi for that very reason.
Kamiya himself (who cares little about confidentiality issues) has confirmed that Nintendo never meddles in the development of Bayonetta, and blood does not always have to be red, in many games like Halo or TW there are enemies that have the blood of others colors, that the blood of the homunculi is green is only by creative decision to represent that they are something alien to the world of Bayonetta
@@Lu.- This wasn't a huge gripe I had just my only criticism. Not as much about the gore as it is the blandness of the enemies. The anges and demons just had more diverse designs and felt more realistic and interesting. When fighting the next big humunculi it just felt like a slightly different shape of the same thing
I didn't even know a new Bayonetta was in the works! I was actually kinda worried the franchise had died and would never come back. Thanks for absolutely smashing this review and giving me a pleasant surprise!
Thanks for watching
@@gameranxTV Awweee you liked my comment :3
Woah really? Been announced since 2017. Atleast you didn't have to feel the 5 yeae wait.
@@DZlegend I live under a rock :)
@@vice.nor.virtue lomg as it's cozy
Looks pretty good as a whole package but I gotta say Nintendo is really falling behind in the graphics department this game looks like something out of the very end of the 360 PS3 generation.
Recently bought the first game on my Xbox but haven't started it yet
oh, so no mention about that story around the production of the game. Well, it's pretty good to separate game from this, tho I was kinda ready for a: "so, I know you probably heard about the recent news in this game, but we'll talk about it in another video at another moment"
Now you listen to me, bird-man!
"EYE-teration"? You might have your buddy Jake fooled, with your cutesy little mispronunciations. But I'm on to you, Falcon. Fool me once...
One of the vest switch games
I appreciated how early you were able to get some of the accessories without replaying a level 3+ times.
That said, I'm the clown that played most of the game with Gaze of Despair on, and my score got murdered for it.
I knew this game would be over-the-top flashiness with no compelling purpose. They just went for what they thought sold the most. I can see people beating this and rarely ever playing it again (unless it's a reboot in 4k 120fps).
You haven't played it have you? the Bayonetta community is discovering how to make new combos every day and people don't stop playing it over and over again because the game is made for that
I'm a little surprised you didn't at least mention the voice actor controversy.
Anterior pelvic tilt designing continues to be a successful marketing strategy.

I didn't even consider buying this, bc i haven't played a bayonetta game. Definitely can't wait for my next pay now.
I felt that buying feeling that was worth it. Really this game has brought considerable improvements to the franchise!
Falcon was the right pick for this review he just gets these types of games.
Wish I could play this. No PC release in sight.
Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta and Astral Chain are awesome.
👍🏼👌🏼
I dont think I understand. There is a very clear reason why the 'bad guys' in the previous two games are threats, no? 1. You're a witch from hell, therefore you fight angels. Pretty simple, first game doesn't try to be very complicated with that. 2. Your best friend gets snatched by a demon from hell so you go there to get her back. If anything the 'bad guys' in 3 make no sense. There is zero explanation as to why they're attacking in the first place. You dont even know once you finish the game. The story in an action game doesn't have to be deep but c'mon, at least tell me WHY shit is going down.
