Bayonetta:
-Focused, Hack'n'slash gameplay that naturally evolves as you play, you unlock abilities and enemies all feel unique. Stylish and well-paced.
-Story is told primarily in cutscenes. Stylish, full of personality, with memorable characters and sensible progress.
-World is unique, and each level feels interesting, with exploration allowing for secret challenges, unlocks, and bonuses.
-Bayonetta is sexy and the game owns it, using it to build Bayonetta as a character and the world around her
-Great soundtrack
Nier: Automata
-Repetitive, simplified hack'n'slash gameplay where enemies either shoot you or hit you with massive telegraphed attacks. You're constantly killing the same type of enemies, reskins everywhere. Repetition and filler shit between boss fights everywhere.
-Story barely goes beyond occasional chatter between the cast, a ton of it unvoiced for some reason and the occasional shitty 24FPS cutscene. Characters are all a shitty japanese trope and the dialogue never grows beyond that. Plot revolves around one hook that's forced over and over despite already being uninteresting the first time it was shown.
-The world is tiny, and open world for no fucking reason other than that's the popular thing right now. Except it's an empty open world with shitty iron ore plastered all over to collect. Buildings and textures just copypasted all over.
-2B has her ass showing because Taro 'likes girls' and so weebs will buy his shit game.
Argue against any of these points. I'll wait.
What's with all the automata threads recently?
>>387721185
Witch Time ruined Bayo. Nothing else to it really. Witch Time being FORCED upon you to spam just to kill some of the enemies made me immediately drop interest in it. I just wanna combat shit manually, not do QTEs.
>>387721490
Beats only having two combos. I'll take QTE's over that any day.
It's the weebs dude
>>387721635
No, Anon. Being in control > watching a cutscene.
>>387721662
I don't get it though.
Why don't the weebs praise Bayonetta anywhere near as much as Automata? It is factually, a better game in every aspect other than music. Why is this objectively worse game praised so much?
>>387721830
>being in control
>game literally forces you to stop walking and look at your partner anytime they have anything important to say
and by important, I mean 2b and 9s acting like anime protagonists to each other.
>one sells because the main character can be jerked off to and has fancy "epic" cinematics
>the other sells for pretty much the exact same reason
>not a single person would ever like these games without the masturbation material and cutscenes
Therefore, I can conclude that both games are terrible.
>>387721185
I agree that bayo is better than automata, but it's not in the same generation either, so shouldn't you be comparing it to something else? Bloodborne, maybe?
>>387721416
I have no idea, I played it for the first time last week and was disappointed.
And I'm weirded out by all the Nier shitposting threads that have popped up lately.
>>387721185
I don't think you understand that people play both of these games for different reasons
>>387721416
It's all the salty people left behind complaining when everyone who enjoyed the game has moved on
https://youtu.be/NC-GCtEacbc
Are we still pretending Bayo isn't just as shit too?
QTE garbage nearly every chapter. Platinum have never made any good games except Vanquish.
>>387721185
Bayonetta was last gen
>>387721185
bayonetta was a last gen game. maybe that's why it's not "the greatest game of this gen"
bayo was full of terrible fan service and jap tropes, i couldnt take it seriously.
>>387721836
I like both.
>>387722050
this is what whales actually believe
>>387723472
I didn't think we were supposed to take ANY Plat game serious.
Why even compare them at all? One is a pure fast-paced action game, the other is an ARPG with a heavy focus on story. Also, this may be too much for you to understand, but one game being praised does not invalidate a previous game that was also praised.
Both try to do different things completely and that's why they have unique value. It's like comparing Prey 2006 with Prey 2016, the goal with each game is totally different and comparisons are a totally pointless waste of time.
>>387723717
Revengeance has some serious themes.
>>387723717
i just cant play a game that takes every cutscene as an opportunity to creatively show a crotch shot.
i'm ok with having attractive half naked women as a main character but don't make me feel like i'm supposed to be masturbating.
everyone knows this
It's deep, man.
>>387721185
I'm not saying that Nier had the greatest level design in history, but Bayo didn't exactly knock it out of the park. It had like 3 or 4 levels that were super bland and almost FF13 tier stage design.
>>387721185
>Bayonetta shits all over Automata
Yes we know why do we need to have 10000 of these threads every day. Both Bayo and MGR shit on Automata
>>387721185
PKP is not fun. Bayonetta is not fun because of enemies like Grace and Glory.
>>387721185
You're fucking right. Nier Automata's combat is shitty and lags as fuck. It is repetitive as my cock thrusting a Las Vegas prostitute. And Bayonetta is much more awesome and flamboyant (in a good way).
Well, at least Nier Automata has good OST.
>>387724907
You sound underage
>>387721185
Fapbait is literally the only reason someone would like N:A. Game was so boring I couldn't even finish it.
>>387724993
Fuck off. Is that the best you have to say?
>Nier bashing thread number 100000006
Stay mad for other 9 months, please.
>>387724441
What an absolute faggot
>>387725314
Okay you're definitely underage now.
>>387725497
Fuck off.
>>387721185
Both are mash city and dullard shit, don't delude yourself. I PP'd every stagein bayo mashing on normal -- the highest available difficulty until you start locking additional difficulties -- the problem with that being that the game is too shitty to warrant a second playthrough.
>>387726020
>I PP'd every stagein bayo mashing on normal
And you seemingly did all the Alfhem challenges too? Without guides? Yeah, sure.
>>387721416
In a recent interview Kamyia said Automata's success was very healthy for Platinum which inspired this new wave of shitposting with anons either shitting on the game or praising it to high heavens to shit on other Platinum games that aren't on PS4 by comparison
