I owned the game and didn't know about the touch controls

Then why did you even post in this thread?

They are atrocious, I still think it was good for Platinum to put that stuff into the game. It's sorta like the "easy mode for Dark Souls"-discussion that sometimes pops up. You can ruin the game for yourself but that's the thing if you have choice, if you are not careful and think about it a little bit then you can make the wrong one.
He wasn't using touch controls when he said that tho
Game was probably set to easy automatic, which is kinda nearly the same thing as touch controls. You just hammer the button and Bayonetta is doing crazy shit that she wouldn't do on higher difficulty levels because the game doesn't string attacks when button mashing like that. Just a guess of course.

Seeing them play with touch controls bugs me.

Touch controls are great for accessibility towards gamers who have limited motor skills and want to play the game, but goddamn if these teens can play any other game regularly, make them play it regularly.

No different from how we were concerned about if something was cool or not.

No, just all seemed to think she was growing clothes, and then using her dress to summon monsters. Which isn't entirely wrong.
Does it really matter, though?
Still though, shame they played on easy, I guess. There's not a lot to get out of this game if you take away any reason to not just button mash constantly.

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
If anything it shows that game developers shouldn't be shackeled by people who aren't good at games (the touchscreen controls) because they come away saying it was easy and repetitive. The teens responding at anything sexual as bad was funny and shows how immature/self conscious they were to play anything like that. The one girl who wanted bayonetta to be shopping in sweats and a t shirt missed the point of the character. Keep focus testing out of video games!

Why would anyone who doesn't know the background of the games "understand" that? It's absurd by nature, unintuitive by design, and unexplained by narrative.
I would be more worried if they did figure it out based on that gameplay segment.

...in ending humanity.
Oh and, "those Bayonetta shots", that's why I don't play this game, this is so fun, "should probably buy it".
Asura's wrath is even crazier than TW101 in terms of scale but I guess it doesn't have the "team of Mech pilots working together" thing that the end of TW101 and TTGL have going on.
I'm not sure if time-traveling space armada (of a magnitude capable of blocking out the entire planar sky around the Earth) is ever topped by Asura's Wrath. The scale of destruction in Asura's Wrath is definitely above and beyond TW101 but the concept of what Geth-Jerk is, is waaaay over the top.
Nah, The Kirby Robobot is the Gurren Lagann of video games.
Yep. There is hope, after all.
Did you play the Nirvana DLC? At one point you are flying towards the creator of the universe who's literally throwing planets at you; you are bigger than the earth at that point yet are still ridiculously small compared to him lol
And you end up
punching him out of existence

I don't know but it feels like these dudes have extremely low testosterone, who gets that awkward with seeing a butt on screen like that? You just saw something get thrown into a grinder but see a bare butt on screen is too much? That was just silly.
Yes I played it, and I know the scale of it. My only note on it is that I viewed Chakravartim as a kid in a playground who had control over all of his toys, but not the fundamental rules within which he operates. Geth-Jerk as a principle broke the basics of the universe to achieve what they attempted to achieve.

Nah. They react to things for marketing purposes too.

That's the point I think. It's an older game that they might not have seen when it came out because they were categorized in the "Kids react" section back then.

Reaction to playing a game in a way that requires no skill and will advance if you play or not:
that looks so fun.....
Whoops. I knew it was touch controls but my brain just was on the word motion for some reason.
Doesn't include the first one though.
The guy saying the game is repetitive, stupid and tonally all over the place yet played using touch control hurts my soul.
Doesn't include Bayo 1 though.
thats the problem with bayo. that game is so much more than that stupid shit.

Glad to see it getting attention. Can't wait for Bayonetta 3
.
exclusively on NX
The Pewdiepie effect is truly remarkable. He sparked up sales for Skate 3 too.
I don't watch his videos, but the fact he is able to give older games second winds in sales just by playing them is really impressive.

At 8:13 and again at 11:28, you can see he's set aside the stylus and is back to buttons. The problem is he's playing on easy, and there's literally no stakes. He can just punch punch punch punch to victory. No need for combos or dodges. The greatest threat any of them face is a death-on-fail QTE.
Easy difficulty was a mistake.
Does anyone react to that shit with anything besides laughter? It always just came off as campy to the point of comedy to me. Not actually erotic at all.
Its either laughter at how absurd it is, or complete shock.
The gameplay is good and it was a particularly weak year.
foxuzamaki
Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
it was NOT a weak year when mario kart 8, donkey kong, smash 4, and bayonetta 2 came out that year, not to mention shovel knight
beyond that it isnt like bayo 2 was just a "decent" game among a bunch of mediocre ones, it got 10s across the board.
and deservedly so. its fucking great
