r/Bayonetta

I have always been somewhat intrigued by this series. I love deep action combat games and hear a lot of good things about this one. My partner suggested we try it for the wacky story (we're loving the sheer insanity of it so far).

As for the gameplay I can't find a lot of info on the intricacies of the combat system. Are there any recommended guides for ins and outs of the combat, advanced tech etc? Or any videos that show off some of its combat potential?

I'm starting to think some of you guys don't even know what that means.

You can be straight as a board and still have LGBT folk idolize you. Hideki Kamiya confirming her sexuality doesn't do nearly as much damage as people think it does, and it's getting pretty annoying seeing the gloating as if Kamiya's opinion has any leg to stand on considering he was pretty hands off during the development of Bayo2 and was near absent during the development of Bayo3 (apart from pulling a Shigeru Miyamoto, popping into the office to boss people around from time to time and leaving).

He literally quit PlatinumGames because he got bored of being Executive Vice President, essentially abandoning the Bayonetta IP, and people are really going to be taking his word as gospel just because he conceptualized an iconic character back in 2007?
Speaking of Shiggy, by that logic, are you going to take his word that he's actually Mario and Luigi's mother?

Look, even though Bayonetta was originally meant to be a female Dante, everything about her fits neatly into ballroom culture: from the extravagant dances, high heels, glamour, maximalism, flamboyancy, look it up: the parallels are staggering and it really is no surprise or mystery why Bayonetta was adopted by the queer community. Happy accidents all around.

I think Bayonetta can exist as both a queer icon AND Hideki's fantasy of an "ideal woman", though I much prefer to view her as a powerful sexy witch that has proven herself to be one of the best female video game characters of all time in just two installments. ...and also a queer icon.

With a community that's already divided, I just find it infuriating how attempts at dividing it even more are somewhat successful due to a bunch of shmucks on Twitter fighting imaginary battles with imaginary people that don't really exist such as the "anti-straight" demographic getting "triggered" by the poorly conceptualized anniversary art of Pereza, Luka, and Viola. It is such a shame.

Bayo 4 is surely getting announced here, right my Bayonutters?!

So i finished Cereza and the lost demon, and I really enjoyed it, (FUCK Morgana, actually evil af) but for the demon sacrifice to get her son, why didnt she just make a deal with a new demon and sacrifice it? I know the Faries banished her, but why didnt she just sneak back in? Was there a banishing spell or something?
