Bayonetta 2

Now why can't this be the end-all, be-all answer?

Because some people are offended by everything that moves.

I like how Christ Centered Gamer does that sort of stuff. They have two different scores for each game they review: one just for the game as a whole (without taking into consideration moral panic inducers like violence and sexual themes), and one specifically for the moral value stuff.

More people should follow that example, since not everyone has the same sensibilities or any at all.

As much as I like the Umbran armor, I think that if it comes back in a sequel, it should have more then just a three punch combo and single kick.

You know that one bit in the ending where Bayo finally acknowledges Balder as her father, just makes me want to draw them as a happy family, no angels, no demons, just them, having dinner or going out to the park.

Bayo 2 nominated for game of the year.

AWWWWWWWWW YEEEAAAAAAAA

Alongside Dark Souls II and Shadow of Mordor. Awesome choices for Nominees

Watch Ploygon flip their shit if Bayonetta 2 wins GOTY.

The winner will probably be Dark Souls 2.

On a side note, I dislike that "Best Remaster" is a thing since it's validating this "Screw backwards compatibility, lets just resell the game as an enhanced port" culture that's taking over console gaming.

Bayonetta 2 did *not* win GOTY at The Game Awards (Dragon Age Inquisition did). However, it did win GOTY on EDGE Magazine.

Sometimes, I think that GOTY awards normally go to the game with the biggest ad campaigns rather than the actual best game of the year. This time would be one of them.

Some have indeed wondered if DA:I winning was just a ploy for the game to sell more units.

I just watched The Game Awards for whatever Nintendo was going announce during it. I mean, those awards are pretty much completely meaningless, even among gamers. People may react with mild interest if you say "This game won Game of the Year" but saying "This movie won an Oscar for Best Whatever" will likely get more attention.

That's being pretty unfair to DA:I, even though I prefer Bayo 2.

They were pretty much the only games in the running that really belonged there.

Anyway, someone uploaded this:

Honestly; what else is left to do in Bayonetta 3?

She's punched "god" into the sun, and kicked "dimension-god" into the maw of a demonic dragon, and afterward, closed a time loop that resulted in her killing him in the past.

She's had shotguns on her feet, chainsaws on her arm, rocket launchers all over. Pretty sure she had a lightsaber too. She's kicked Rodin's ass twice, in demon and angel form. Enzo still hasn't paid his tab. Luka's role in the plot is more-or-less done. And Jeanne's demon... is dead? So I guess she's in the clear for the afterlife. Nobody's hunting after the Eyes of the World anymore, and Loki will presumably grow up into the new "dimension-god".

Obviously the only thing that's badass enough to fight evenly with her now is herself

That's what Angel Slayer is for.

I was going to say Dante, but that's never going to happen. -_-

An evil cult trying to bring demons/angels into the world of the living?

Wasn't that technically the backstory to the very first game?

No?

I remember the backstory being the angels deceiving the clans so they could get the Eyes.

Ways to avoid obscene escalation:

• Have Bayonetta be partially depowered through trickery.
• Give us a new witch protagonist, with Bayonetta being the mentor.
• Throw us for a loop and make the next antagonist an Outside-Context Villain, like a human hunting magical beings with technology.
• Embrace it and just keep climbing the god ladder.
• All four over the course of a dozen more games!

Or it could be like Devil May Cry. The final boss of the second game was only just as powerful as Mundus while Dante was FAR more powerful than he was then. The final boss of the third game wasn't as powerful as Mundus but it was a prequel so eh. The final boss of the fourth game probably wasn't even as powerful as Vergil but it wasn't Dante fighting him so eh.

Really, the story doesn't need to escalate or even be fantastic. The story just has to be serviceable so we can enjoy the characters, setting, and gameplay.

Pretty sure it'd be pretty weird to demote one of the three Gods reigning over reality to only being as strong as a demon overlord.

I do like the idea of someone using technology instead of magic to cause chaos in the world, and maybe even in paradiso. Like there's a really powerful source of energy in there and the bad guy needs it to power his or her doomsday device.
