@LukeAlmighty i actually don't find bayonetta very attractive, personally. her look from the third game is nice but it's only because i like the hairstyle. she generally looks like a liberal college professor.

@beardalaxy
I know, that her style ain't exactly perfect, but "I cannoy believe straight men like women" is a peak twitter in my opinion.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy yeah i have bayo 2 on the switch but have literally never slotted the cartridge. like what the fuck is this short hair it's the worst aaa :blobcattableflip:

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty first game is still the best imo, second game was good but the story was fuckin weird and there's this annoying ass kid that's always around.

i won't play the third game until there's more powerful hardware to play it on. not talking just emulation to boost fps/resolution either, but like those fucking dithering effects are mainly what's preventing me from playing the game.

@beardalaxy @icedquinn
Well, I am afraid, that the dithering will stay.

It seriously ruined my day, when MR Rise demo came up on PC, and with my peak hardware, I still had to see the exact same dots under Khezu costume hood.

:soyscream:

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn yeah it's because they don't care to change it from the console origins because it would probably mean they'd have to redo some rendering stuff. i mean, they couldn't be arsed to make the frame rate behave the same way as the switch version either lol xD

i think that if bayonetta 3 was made for a more powerful console, there's a possibility they could at least tone down the effect, but right now it's in every single layer of transparency and it looks awful.

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty taken from a DF youtube video so they won't be as crisp as they would be in the game, but that's another problem: they're bad for video compression too.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty wow, damn. i haven't seen a large studio just straight shit out the floyd-steinberg like this :blobcatgoogly:

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty their ambition got the best of them i think. check out the video if you're interested, there are plenty other issues with like super low quality textures and stuff, and the game never actually manages to run at 60fps.

the main problem seems to be the switch's memory, which is only 4gb clocked at 1600mhz. yeah.... that's low as shit. it's a miracle games can even be made for the console at all at this point.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty
> their ambition got the best of them i think.

well that's platinum in a nutshell. their post-mortem of bayonetta said it almost destroyed the studio when they made the first one.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty they like to punch quite above their pay grade and insofar it has worked out for them but they're still a pretty small studio trying to impersonate a large one IIRC.

i dunno maybe they've grown since then i don't keep up with it.

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty the crazy thing is that astral chain looks insanely good. it targets 30fps but actually looks like a last gen game and has a lot of style to it. vanquish, madworld, and MGR are all awesome too. hell, star fox zero would have been amazing if it didn't have two screens to keep track of all the time. it seems that they just miss the mark sometimes, for some reason.
