Imo Bayonetta 2 is the greatest pure character action game ever made, and one of my top 5 games of all time.
One thing Pachislot Bayonetta’s got going for it is a banging OST. Scent of Love is amazing.
For me Bayonetta 2 is #1 because of TOMORROW IS MINE 🗣️
"Don't Miss Me Too Much 💅✨💃💃💃"
"What happened to my son? " well, you leave for milk and they change. 😂
For me: Bayonetta 3: Best combat style and soundtrack. Bayonetta 2: Best visuals and cooperative. Bayonetta 1: Best lore and the best bosses.
If we could combine the best bits of all these games then we would have the perfect Bayonetta game. I was hoping Bayonetta 3 would do this but it sadly didn't.....
@@murderman7265 Bayonetta 3 was originally an open world, but Platinum discovered that might be too hard on the Switch. So they dropped it.
@@murderman7265 Soulstice from 2022 seemingly takes some notes from Bayonetta (among others) for the combat gameplay and ranking, while in tone and dialogue it's more along the lines of Darksiders. Has strong lore and good bosses as well. There's divisive parts to it too, but a solid entry in the world of character action games.
Oh my god I despise the saturation of multiverse stories in today’s media
Same here
I love that when you talked about the enemies in Bayonetta 1 and you said that one enemy sucked. I knew exactly which one you were talking about despite being across the room from my phone.
What enemy was that and why, if i may ask?
kinship for sure
@@jurtheorc8117 Grace and Glory because they are fast, hit hard, have annoying attacks, and you have to fight both of them at the same time. (Now I will say I'm personally bad at the game so I know I found them more annoying, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who did.)
I believe it was Gracious and Glorious (Grace and Glory, but more aggressive with no witch time--fighting Grace and Glory right afterward can feel like a cake walk)
"why is he a fairy what happened to my son" we've all heard that before
Bayo 3 had the bestt soundtrack, WEPONS, and the way they added transformation was so cool!!! Bayo 2 had the besttt fights, storyline and characters Bayo 1 had the funniest for me and the iconic songggg
Bayo 2 best story? You like hearing a minor hit on a mature lady over and over?
18:35 "Look at that Ass" made me lost it 😂😂😂
I really like how charismatic Bayonetta is.
Bayonetta 1 will always be my favorite it just feels right in every aspect but I love series as a whole (except 3’s story💀)
I love all 3 all of them show Hey your playing the Bayonetta games and I can't wait for more cause it's such a amazing series and why I fell in love and main bayo in smash
imo bayonetta 1 is one of the games that aged the best in general. The combat is basically the same thing, only harder with witch time that doesn't activate with every attack unlike bayonetta 2 and 3
In Bayo 2, we get a line from Rosa to Balder about how Cereza would awaken and inherit the Eyes of the World. This to me implied that she would gain control of the Right Eye as well as the Left. When the first story trailer came out for Bayo 3, I theorized that the multiverse plot line was a way to regain the Right Eye in order to prove Rosa's statement true. What we got instead felt like the Bayo equivalent of the DMC reboot that no one likes to talk about.
Loved the video!
As a Bayonetta fan of 8 years, I can definitely confirm all of the details he's mentioned about all of these games is true. Bravo, Antonio.
As a hardcore bayonetta fan whose life was completely changed thanks to that caracter alone, bayonetta 3 story felt like such a betrayal that i actually cried and wanted to go to japan and kill myself in front of hideki kamiya so that he would feel the same lifelong trauma as Im going to w that ending and story in general
What the fuck
You are so funny!! Love you for this! 👏💖😊
"Bayonetta 2 is 4 steps forward, 2 steps back" Net positive 2 steps forward is great
For me, i only played the 3 main games. Bayonetta 1 is by far one of my most replayed games to this day. The bossfights, the story, the weapons and every character had a real purpose and part in the story.
I was actually surprised you didn't talk much about the games' soundtracks but if they didn't stick out to you that much that's understandable 😭 I thought Bayo Origins really stood out to me but that's mainly because I've also been a long-time enjoyer of Mario games, and the two recent Zelda games
We do have some solid bangers here; but yeah, I didn't really have much to say on them besides "We do have some solid bangers here"
@@AntonioRedgrave fair enough 🪻 The soundtracks are definitely one of The main factors of why I love the games so much
Bayonetta 3 is the best Bayonetta game in terms of combat Say what you will with the story even though you don’t play Bayonetta for the story but for the gameplay Truly deserved it best action game award The most action packed game of 2022 Also Nero is better than Viola And I wish all angels and demon types were in the game too Yes the ending was wack to me too ( “Final send off?” More like Stab to the back)
bro i never noticed madama butterfly literally hits the spinning bird kick
She also does a Shoryuken during her assault slave; and if I'm not mistaken she has Tetsuzanko
I disagree three was pretty in dock mode. But shit in handheld. The frame drop but still good. It's goes 3 2 and 1
Man Gracious and Glorious are my favorite enemies and when they show up they have all my respect. Every time i see grace and glory in 2 & 3 i still have respect.... Even tho they are easier.
I really wish these games had better stories.
Same. I also find it funny how the game with the best story is the prequel spin off
@KamektheMagikoopa1 in terms of character action games with good stories and lore, Soulstice from 2022 and the Darksiders games are quite good. Though in the case of Darksiders, it's not exclusively combat gameplay. Still good games worth looking into.
you forgot the other Bayonetta apparences in games
I know she's appeared in other games and normally I wouldn't talk about them in a video like this, but her inclusion in Smash was such a huge milestone for the series I couldn't help but discuss it.
What is the music at the ending it’s 🔥
It's the title screen music for Bayonetta Origins. kzhead.info/sun/i7OCfaV7aIeiqq8/bejne.htmlsi=LsdEwDvzbn5ob_NO I was originally going to switch it to "Let's Dance, Boys" from Bayo 1, but this was so good I just let it continue playing.
Cereza and the lost demon is the origin story of the Bayonetta that we played in 3 (Cerecita), not of all the others. The game should have come out before 3 and its story would have been better understood. And at the end of 3, the only ones who "die" are Luka and Bayonetta from a single reality. All the other Bayonettas and realities are fine. As Bayonetta 1 needs 2 to understand the plot well, a Bayonetta 4 will be needed to tie up loose ends.
What! Bayo1 is supreme 😭😂
My ranking would be: 1st - Bayonetta 3 2nd - Bayonetta 3rd - Bayonetta 2 Bayonetta 2 has the worst combat for me, the first time I played it I enjoyed it but trying to pure platinum the game felt like a drag specially in the humanoid bosses, having less witch time was a bad choice. The first and third bayonetta have way better combat but controlling demons in 3 was an amazing change to the series, it opened a lot more combo potential. Also the weapons in 3 are the best and most balanced by far
lol im pretty sure if youre on the road to a pure plat in bayo 1 youre not gonna die to a qte, even just playing the game a couple times will engrain ur mind with where every qte is and what button to press
I forgot to mention this in the video, but my biggest problem with the QTEs was that I was playing on a switch pro controller but the button prompts would occasionally show the switch. This brief moment of confusion would cause me to fail the same QTE repeatedly since I wouldn't be able to register which button to press before I died.
Now did you get all the hidden acheivments and items?
Bayonetta 2 is definitely my favorite, I loved cerezas look in this game. It looked the best to me, but the story was well meh, not bad at the start but nearing the end after Bayo saves me- I mean Jeanne it got and felt slow. That's where Bayonetta 1 steals the show, the story is absolutely the best but the combat is well not the best which is justified as it was the first game. That's where (and I hate to say it) Bayonetta 3 is best at... I have gotten my weave snatched for saying this before but the story in Bayonetta 3 is A S S, but the gameplay is beautiful, and depending on who you ask- for me the music is amazing in all three games. I was very salty from B3 so it took awhile for the songs to grow on me. I didn't want to add Cereza and The Lost Demon because it was a spin off and combat, music and what not weren't that big of a deal for me.
Bayonetta 1 was the best overall game, it has the best combat. The first game has a certain charm that 2 & 3 don't have, there's just "something" missing in 2 & 3. Witch time is not the main central mechanic of the first game, dodge-offset is. Why the devs never chose to explain this tech in-game is beyond me. but dodge-offset is key to getting high scores & grades, especially on higher difficutlies.

Bayonetta 4 2025 !?????
viola
The best Bayonetta is 1. Bayonetta 2 had potential but was rather short, and I've come to lovingly dub it the bayonetta 1.5 dlc. Bayonetta 3 legitimately made me break down in anger and sadness. It was the absolute worst game in the series, with its only saving grace being normal combat. The gimmicks were overdone and often annoying to deal with. The story was the biggest piece of trash I've seen in a long time. Viola sections legitimately had me trying to speedrun because i couldn't stop playing as her quick enough. Topping it all off, i bought the Trinity Masquerade edition because i love the first 2 games so much, and the 3rd game left such a terrible taste in my mouth i haven't been able to go back to the other games since i finished my playthrough. I played 3 and beat it on release day, and i still haven't been able to bring myself back to what was easily one of my top 5 favorite series to play.
🤔
I'm still mad that Bayonetta died. I don't like the new protagonist, I don't like that she died in such a bullshit way, and I don't like the ending of this game in general. I mean, the series is called Bayonetta. You can't kill Bayonetta.
Maybe Bayonetta is meant to end, so the Platinum Games can work on something else???
Only the Bayonetta we control in this game "dies". All the others, including those in 1 and 2, are still alive in their respective realities.
There's something to love and hate about all the (main) games. Bayo1 is a challenging combat game where you're rewarded for playing well, but the combat is the hardest of the three and it's very easy to get bullshitted. Plus it's very hard to go back to after 2 and 3. Bayo2 is incredibly beautiful with quick combat that flows like water, but it's also balanced around Climax and if you preferred the challenging combat of 1, then you won't enjoy it in 2. Also you can now play as Rosa and just kick bosses to death. Bayo3 feels like the climax of progression of the previous two games; you can now summon demons on command and the weapons are amazing, but the graphics, textures, colouring, story, characters, and dialogue still leave me seething nearly two years later. At its core, Bayonetta is a camp game about hitting things hard and fast in gun-heels while getting naked so your pet demon frog can eat an angel. And now Platinum seemingly want a character that looks like a California Gender Studies major designed a "strong, empowered woman with Marvel humour" to be the face of the franchise with her ultra cool weeb-katana because she's just so strong and empowered and she doesn't need to sell her soul to demons to be as strong as Cereza because she's just so empowered.
Promo>SM 😭
Ok no you are wrong. Bayonetta 2 is S tier and 1 is A tier but 3 is D tier

@@oreo_fandom_beastars7982 What about Bayonetta Origins????
@@orangeslash1667 i havent played that one
The one thing I despise about Bayonetta being included in Smash is that they completely butchered her proportions. She's proportioned like a regular person instead of having the overexaggerated long legs and arms that she has in her own games. But anyway that's just a small thing. I was absolutely over the damn moon when she was announced as the final DLC fighter for 3DS/Wii U, and she had been my vote in the ballot too.
S Tier: Bayo 1+2, Smash, Anarchy Reigns… F-: Bayo 3
What about Bayonetta Origins????
@@orangeslash1667 Z
@@xUmbranx What???
IMO... Bayonetta 1 is the best one, Bayonetta 2 is the second best one... and Bayonetta 3 is just pure trash, so it isn't worth considering it a "Bayonetta" game.
So this list is easy. Bayonetta 1 S tier, Bayonetta 2 high C low B. Bayonetta 3 F-D tier
L ass list, ESPECIALLY for bayo 2
@@awxazgalacticdude the gameplay just isn’t as good as the first Bayonetta and idk the games became more reliant on mechanics like demon slave and umbran climax. Bayonetta 1 felt like the game was made for non stop infinite climax mode with it slowly getting harder on the lower difficulties. Plus having items not knock you down points feels against the character action game genre in my opinion. For 3 I played once and I never want to touch it again. The fact you have to unlock every move over again for each weapon is just so annoying. Sure dmc 3 does that, but there’s not as many moves so it’s ok and not so annoying. The story is utter multiverse trash and the gameplay is clunky. Bayonetta 1 felt more smooth when transforming into her panther form and idk the weapons were cooler.
@@ghostwalkergames7707 I will agree the first Bayo is a banger, but every game has flaws in different areas and strong points in different areas. Honestly I love all the games for different reasons but that’s what makes the series that enjoyable. 1 for gameplay, 2 for visuals, and 3 for creativity and wild shit
