The Bayonetta games are banging

gamer78041564d ago

Love bayo games, getting the remaster that comes out in feb, will be the best looking bayo ever. Might spoil the third one for me but I’m sure the third will look decent enough.

Shiken1564d ago

So basically...if you enjoy Nier Automata...there is a good chance you will like other hack and slash games...

YOU DON'T SAY!

TheOptimist1564d ago (Edited 1564d ago )

Idiots at twinfinite. I opened the article expecting games with philosophical themes and decent action but I set the expectation bar wayyy too high.

I just got hack n salshes. These stupid people are the reason general masses tend to lump games that might not even be RPGs into RPGs.

Abnor_Mal1564d ago

Some of these games would require me to buy a different system just to play them. No thanks.

FernDiggidy1563d ago (Edited 1563d ago )

Your avatar checks out. Broke boy

Abnor_Mal1563d ago

Oh shit, you got me. Shhhhh let's keep this between us, okay $1.50 A Slice Plain Cheese Pizza Boy?

Xb1ps41564d ago (Edited 1564d ago )

I bought this game, can’t remember why though and just couldn’t get into it. Maybe I’ll give it another shot l. I’m currently playing dmc 5 but I just don’t see the connection between both games, NieR was more exploring? If I remember right? I would probably put it more along sekiro?!

UnSelf1564d ago

they put dmc5 in their article?

Glad i didnt click

Xb1ps41564d ago

yes they did and now that I think about it more I don't think this person play any of the games they listed lol

LoveSpuds1564d ago (Edited 1564d ago )

Nier Automata is nothing like the games mentioned in this poor article.

Nier is a game that is more about narrative and themes surrounding humanity, equality and even race, all wrapped up in a cool action RPG package. Games like Bayonetta are much more about gameplay and technique, and while they still have good stories, that isn't the primary focus of the game.

Its quite lazy on the part of the writer of this article to suggest that the games have anything in common other than Platinum Games involvement.

Sekiro, for me, is different again from Nier or Bayonetta, it's quite difficult to pigeon hole the game as it has many cool RPG elements but is definitely combat orientated, but also has a tremendous story.

All the games in this comment section a fantastic, but for differing reasons.

Xb1ps41564d ago

lmao.. yea the list is def. weird

jznrpg1564d ago

I was thinking are there games more similar than not to Nier? Not in this article

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake9d ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor9d ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

Cacabunga9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I really liked Automata and cannot wait for Stellar Blade

isarai9d ago

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤

fsfsxii6d ago

Its not a souls like, its a dmc-ish game with rpg elements. Any game with a third person camera and a sword is souls like to these buffoons

H99d ago

Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank

Snookies129d ago

Same... Awful way to word that title's beginning.

exputers8d ago

Whoops. Sorry to startle you.

H98d ago

It's alright brother, maybe I am just slow

Hereandthere9d ago

Thats because Sony had a heavy hand in funding and developing this game.

purple1019d ago

They sent in XDEV one of their traveling support studios to Korea to lend a hand if I’m not mistaken, Sony pulled out the big guns to help this studio

jwillj2k49d ago

(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.

Is Square’s ethics department gonna insert themselves into this one?

CrimsonWing6959d ago

They weren’t around “last time.”

isarai60d ago

Yoko Taro doesn't play that sh!t

60d ago
Dirty_Lemons60d ago

If it can be done right then amazing, yes please. Yoko Taro seems to change it up each time so I'm curious what a 'sequel' really means.

blackblades60d ago

Either way hope he learns and give her more outfits like Stella got.

vTuro2460d ago

On a sidenote assuming this is indeed Nier 3 then I kinda wonder if Yoko Taro will stick to his guns of creating new characters and stories each time, or if he'll continue with 2B & co due to their skyrocketing in popularity. I guess he'll probably do whatever Squeenix pays him to do lol, but I'm hoping for the former. 2B and her gang got a decent enough conclusion (especially for a Yoko game) and I feel like continuing their story would ruin it.

vTuro2460d ago

Actually, now that I think about it, a new Nier game would technically be Nier 4 since the gacha Reincarnation was declared as the sequel to Automata and is therefore Nier 3.

Dirty_Lemons59d ago

Oh man, that game was a slog. Graphics and music were excellent though, and it's nice directly strongly to Automata.

Red3f1ned59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Tifa is a good sign. There's at least some hope, lads.
Just maybe they'll leave things alone.

Plus, like people are saying - Taro don't play that sh*t.
