Poll: Bayonetta Origins Is Out On Switch This Week, Are You Getting It?

Yup. I'll be getting my copy tomorrow.

Eventually. I want to stop buying games for now, and actually play what I bought.

I've really never had the slightest idea who this is actually supposed to be for. It's Bayonetta but it plays nothing like Bayonetta and has none of Bayonetta's tone, great?

@farrgazer You too? Lordy I feel like my backlog is infinite at this point….

Can't wait to get this game tomorrow!

I’ll definitely get it as I trust everything that purely Platinum develops. However this is a busy month, going through Theatrhythm, Metroid Prime, Fatal Frame, then RE4 Remake… and then Bayonetta.

But I will as I’m a Bayonetta fan all the way

Yes ! Plan on fixing soup and getting lost in that world.

Will probably buy it at like £20 because while I found the demo fun it just wasn't fun enough to take my money from Ryza 3 this month.

Eventually, I want WWE 2K23 and Resident Evil 4 Remake before this game.

Im going to buy it, but this poll says exactly what I was thinking. The game just isn’t the Bayonetta we know and somehow it falls into its own as a new title/series. It isn’t Bayonetta and seems more like an indie title trying to find an audience

Not my kind of game. Enjoyed Bayo 3 though.

Well judging by the amount of people not interested,
it probably won't take long to go on sale.

Love the look and feel of this game and would like to support it,
but I can't be spending £5 per hour of gameplay when there are so many great games on Switch.

It looks cool but not $60 cool.

The originals never really seemed like my cup of tea. This looks like fanfiction of that, so no thanks!

(Does look like a good hack n slash though, those are just not what I play. )

Of course. The demo was fun, the style is great, the atmoshpere remember me the Trine series (maybe is the presence of a narrator, maybe the music... maybe both). I don't really think it's not worth full price (but I still think they should have priced a little lower the same)

I enjoyed the demo at first, but then got quickly bored of the endless dialogue and the whole fairytale page turning. I’ve got all 3 Bayonetta’s, but I’ll give this one a miss which is a shame as it was on my wish list from the day it was announced 😔

Got the three main games, and they all dropped in price quickly enough. The completionist/collector in me will get this at some point, but I reckon it'll be around £20 within a couple of months based on the reviews and previous mainline entries and how fast their prices dropped.

Finally got around to picking up God of War: Ragnarok this week, so that alone makes getting this this week pointless.

@MythTgr It's definitely possible.... Years from now.

Demo for me now, but I'm too busy playing different games. It's really high on my wishlist though. I so hope this will fill my Okami shaped hole in my Okami shaped heart

I will but trying to save for travelling at the end of the year, so cutting down my game buying

That's a lot of people not interested... This is such a strange game, I'm not sure if their little experiment will have paid off here.

I would love to play this, but my backlog is staring at me aggressively ;-;

@Dm9982 It's a combination of getting sucked into one game in single player during one part of the day, and then being busy playing another game with friends during another part of the day. And then in the meantime, new stuff comes out, you grab it, and everything sits untouched. Maybe even gathering dust.

@farrgazer Oh yeah, same here. I get sucked into long term engagements like Diablo 2, Monster Hunter, and Witcher…. Meanwhile trying to knock out an indie here or there, while the rest of the retail games pile up. Right now the current focus is Octopath 2, with a mix of Dragon Ball FighterZ and the occasional Pokémon Raid or hatching session. And Hogwarts is collecting the current dust as i only played it for 30 mins before bouncing back to Switch…. 😂

Doesn’t help when you’re a full time parent at the same time either, lol! Hopefully one day soon they’ll start liking the same games as me and help me with the backlog. Currently though it’s all Minecraft and Roblox.

I might get round to it eventually. Picked up Bayo 1&2 in a sale, already played through them on Wii U, but that was ages ago, got Bayo 3 ready to go too, but my backlog of other games is too big

Just the 9 poll options today for a yes or no question? I miss when you did 13 options. You neglected the 'no's' a bit.

No, I don't like Bayonetta.
No, Bayonetta sucks.
No.
Maybe not.

There you go.

I'll buy it at a later date. Probably waiting for a sale, since I think its very expensive for such a short game.

The demo was pretty fun though and good looking (but very easy).

The demo was a dang snoozefest!!! 😞

@farrgazer That's what I've been trying to do and for a while, I was doing well. But then i got a new laptop and now I've got a large Steam backlog to compliment my enormous Switch backlog.

60$ for it is a big no

definitely something im interested in but will be busy with Trails to Azure for the most part.

@farrgazer One of the hardest things to do is to stop playing the game of capitalism and to play the games we buy through capitalism.

I have it preordered and hope to pick up my copy right when GameStop opens. Of course, I HAVE to pick it up when GameStop opens, because my family and I are going on a road trip to go see famous ventriloquist Jeff Dunham later today (kind of a 30th Birthday present for me). So it has to be at the time they open, so we can make it to the show on time.

Demo is great, but will pick it up in the sale. For £43 it's a bit steep for a 10-hour non-replayable game.

Eventually. I enjoyed the demo but I'm playing other games right now.

Nah, I've got too much to play. Don't think I'll be buying another game until I'm done with zelda

@farrgazer Same my guy, I've only played purchased wo long in the last few months because Nioh is one of my favorite games. Starting to realize with age I just don't have the time to play everything.

Not surprised most people are against a developer trying something new. They'd rather every sequel just be more of the same, or better yet, have developers just make ports of older games they made already.

Modern gaming has become so boring and unexciting for me personally; having lived through it all and played so many games. It's rare to come across a daring sequel especially something this divergent from the mainline series.

I personally hated Bayonetta 3 (the first two, however, are near perfect) so count me in as a day-one'r. PlatinumGames may have redeemed themselves.

The next games I want to buy for the Switch are Advance Wars and the Megaman Battle Network collection.

I still need to play 2 and 3...

@MythTgr Yeah, the first one was an absolute hoot, but I put off getting the second one because I didn't get my Switch until long after it was already out, and I'm kinda waiting to get a physical copy of the first game so I can have all three (well, four now!)

It's very pretty and the voice acting is top notch but the gameplay felt way too dumbed down for me. That and I don't like kids, even if Cereza is a lot less annoying in this one.

@farrgazer For me as well lol. Im still playing through all the gb and gba games and Im still in the process of beating Metroid Prime Remaster and the Kirby return to dreamland deluxe game. Im almost to the end of both but man after that last direct I just had so much to play.

Nayo has been my weakness for sometime. Of course I'm getting this.
