Bayonetta 3 Gets Day One Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

These day one patches really make my physicals completely defunct.
Not that it will stop me from getting the physical as I don't trust download only games.

I’m not a big fan of sex in video games, but I argue that part of the Bayonetta series appeal is the sexual innuendo I wouldn’t play this I front of kids either way, and I joke with the wife that you too busy looking at the bad guys to notice Bayonetta.

Where my «no angel» mode?
Gotta catch up with the first two games…

The wait, it’s almost over, the thing so many people waited for, is finally, coming, enjoy, boy this games combat looks so good!

@MoonWizard What’s wrong with the new voice actress? I think she sounds amazing!

The time has come for Bayonetta to face her Mysterious Destiny. Tomorrow is Hers! She's ready to answer to the Whispers Of Destiny!

Who else would have waited a few more weeks to not have a day one patch. Physical games really are nearly over x

Hope if only one copy arrives tomorrow it's the regular physical game not the colectors edition which I don't intend to open. If nothing arrives tomorrow I may have to buy it digitally too! Can't wait. Day one, one way or another!

@Bunkerneath Day one patches and cases having nothing in them except the game card or disc are the things that pushed me away from physical.

Switching to digital only has been nice. My only physical Switch game is Ring Fit Adventure, because you kinda have no other choice there.

@imgrowinglegs I still don't trust Nintendo with digital purchases.

I trust Steam, it's not too big to fail but it would require a lot to make it fail, and I trust GOG since I actually own my digital games and can make offline backups.

@MoonWizard Do you really think there will be a PC version?

@Bunkerneath
Better than buying a whole new physical game just to have that update.

@BTB20
I think they were referring to mods...

no improvement in frame rate drop?

@MoonWizard you mean replace Hellena in the first one? That’s the only PC version in the series. Bayonetta 2 and 3 are fully funded by Nintendo, they won’t be coming to any other platform

@Bunkerneath I was thinking the same thing. But I still don’t feel confortable with an all digital nintendo library

By the time my "release day delivery" shows up on Tuesday they'll be up to the 3rd patch and those leader boards will be way out of my reach.😝

@Bunkerneath Almost all major releases enjoy post-release support. Physicals are still good for saving storage space and owning an actual product instead of renting a license that can be revoked, though.

@MoonWizard I mean, she hasn't voiced the lines, and there won't be a non-emulated PC version, but sure, hope away.

Can't wait for my SPECIAL EDITION!

Anything opposite of naive angel mode? Something that adds nudity and H scenes? Sorry, I'm big into eroge and the entire reason I bought a laptop back in June, lol

@Snatcher Harmonia, Needy Girl Overdose and Prodeus! (But yes, this is also on my wishlist, just those take priority)

“Bayonetta 3 is a total triumph and a stunning return for PlatinumGames' character action queen — we gave the Umbra Witch's third outing a glowing 10/10 in our review, and you should check out why we think it's the best in the series so far:”

Better be! Considering how long it has been in the making. 😎

My digital pre-order download is already on 1.1.0.

Like let's goooo

@Rykdrew You haven't even played the game, aren't planning to buy it and are actively looking for problems. Didn't you do this with Splatoon 3 as well? I'm sure there's a word for this.

@Bunkerneath

Yeah that is really something that kills off my hype for buying Games.
And i really don't like to buy Games online on Consoles, especially from the japanese Manufactors, as they have a Tradition to kill them.

@WiltonRoots This is a space for opinions.

In my country, people are complaining about frame rate issues in Bayonetta 3 (you can also watch vídeos on youtube about the frame rate)

And Splatoon 3 has a lot of disconnection issues around here. The game is unplayable, because every 10 matches you only get 2 matches from start to finish. And it takes a long time to find matches. When someone leaves in the middle of the game, the game can disconnect everyone, because the player who left is not even replaced by a bot. Basic stuff nowadays. People here are stopping playing the game.

I don't remember getting admonished for dozens of compliments I gave dozens of games, but am I getting admonished for writing 2 game problems here? Because they were the only 2 games, in over 700 of my comments, that I have complaints about.

Accept criticism too, when they are justified.

Question: Will Bayonetta 3 have an update to fix the frame rate drops issues?

@Rykdrew Errr...it releases tomorrow? So they're getting frame drops on pirate versions or via emulation? Plus if you're not personally buying the game what does it matter to you?

@WiltonRoots Yes, pirate versions!

@WiltonRoots "Plus if you're not personally buying the game what does it matter to you?"

To warn people who read a review that says the game is perfect 10/10....but have frame rate issues that it's useful for them to know they exist! It's not for me, it's for those who think about buying.

Wouldn't you like to be alerted to something like this? I'd like to. I already stopped buying games (Mario Strikers, for example) because in forums like this there were problems that the review didn't point out. And I was very grateful!

People acting turned off from physicals because of day 1 patches meanwhile that does nothing for me because at end of day I’m just downloading a patch and not an entire game + patch while saving memory storage when I go physical which is more then enough benefit for me.

@Rykdrew 10/10 never means perfect game. There is no such thing as a perfect game. Also there have been plenty of reports to indicate the frame rate is fine for most of the game outside of very specific moments.

If you played through Astral Chain just fine then you shouldn’t have issues with Bayo 3

@Rykdrew Yep I'm sure the opinion of someone who has not played it and has no interest in it is a surefire recommendation for all those prospective buyers out there....

@JustMonika you do realize bayonetta 3 will have a uncensored version mode.

@WiltonRoots People who had or didn't intend to buy Mario Strikers, and warned me here in the comments about the fact that the game has many problems not mentioned in the Nintendo Life reviews, helped me not to buy the game. And I'm very grateful to these people, because playing or not, they were right....they just passed on information!

Unstable Frame Rate:

Handheld and Docked!

@Rykdrew Oh wow it's the end of the world! How on earth am I supposed to get on with my life knowing this! The horror...

Edit: Wow you edit your posts a LOT!

For the people who claim that physical media is superior, nope, it's not perfect:

• It can be lost, broken or stolen.
• Even if you take care of it, it does not last forever, cartridges and discs will someday stop working, even if never used.
• Recent discs are not made to last, made with cheap plastic.
• Preserving the software means nothing without the hardware to run it, many classic consoles and computers are breaking down and can't be fixed, while modern consoles are much more fragile not all consoles can have those clones.
• It takes space, not everyone can have shelves full of games.
• Older games can have physical copies around, but they may cost a fortune, maybe even more than a new current gen console, in recent years, videogame collecting became a very expensive hobby.
• Arcades are a big example of physical media that doesn't work, they are expensive, they are rare, they are big and only rich people can have them at home, they are hard to fix, and many classic arcades were never ported into home versions, or had inferior ports.
• And most important, in many cases nowadays, physical media is just a fancy digital purchase, you still need internet and servers to play the good or complete version of the game, get DLC, play online, or just play at all, many games require internet and servers working even if you buy physical.

For personal use, physical games still have a lot of advantages over digital games, but they aren't a godsend, and neither physical or digital media are good for videogame preservation, the only option is piracy.

@WiltonRoots I have the language barrier..so i correct myself a lot!

It´s not the end of the world...it´s only a information you can ignore and don't be shaken!

Only a information!

The company posted that they would patch it on day 1. And I asked if the Frame Rate would improve. Just this.

Nothing very important for talk about..

@MoonWizard That was, a really respectful response, have a great rest of your day!

@MoonWizard why? She's a lying scumbag who dissed the actual voice artist, and begged her tiny fan base to boycott a game that many others worked hard on. She's despicable, and so are you if you're still on her side.

These small changes drains ~2.GB on SD Card.

Haven’t installed the update yet but enjoying the game as is currently.
