Must have went to a luminous productions coaching class.I quit on it too. The game is lackluster with terrible image quality and performance. How can a developer be inept at using their own in house game engine.
Bayonetta, and Platinum games by extension, are among the most overrated properties in gaming. Nier automata was pretty weak too gameplay wise.
One of bayonetta's biggest problems is visual design. The enemies all tend to look samey with very similar colour schemes. And they tend to blend in to the environments making it very difficult to make out exactly wtf is going on.I tend to agree. Bayonetta 1 was a classic, but perhaps in a vacuum when Capcom became laughing stock. Going back to DMC4, I even liked that game much more. Bayonetta has the same repetitive level design by the way, and the further you go, the more serious the story tries to take itself with endless dialogues. Today Capcom makes games that are infinitely better.
Platinum games generally look very ugly and low budget. NieR Automata is an excellent game, but I didn't give much fucks about its gameplay as well. And it doesn't help that I hated the gameplay of 9S, which is like one third of the game. I think that for a single playthrough, I prefer the OG Nier.
Platinum's best game is Vanquish.
I think some fans of action games are way too comfortable with just regurgitation of the same things. Reminds me of the FGC focusing on extreme minutiae of difficulty balancing but missing the forest for the trees.I think Kamiya lost his touch.
He only likes stupid gimmicks and isn't interested in providing a well balanced and fun core gameplay experience.

Interestingly enough it was between B3 and XB3 as to what I wanted to play nextI was just about to use this game as my pallet cleanser before xenoblade 3 as I've just binged a few games and fancied something 10 to 12 hours action based fun.
Kinda gutted...
For me it was more the enemy faction being not as interesting as angels and demons and their color palates making them look too samey.
It also went a bit overboard with the non melee combat sections but at least that gave us this
Try reading the OT as well for more opinions from people who played it.I was just about to use this game as my pallet cleanser before xenoblade 3 as I've just binged a few games and fancied something 10 to 12 hours action based fun.
