I'm sorry that you've been fooled but Bayonetta has not made 450 million as Hellena Taylor claimed.

I'm buyin 12 copies

@BoFiS
Maybe if you didn't ignore the ''nonsense'' you would know that she is part of a union, her replacement is part of a union and 4000$ would be normal pay for her workload by union standards. Could she have gotten more than that? Maybe if she had more to her name/Platinum was more willing, but 4k is not nothing or ridiculous.

I hope they still kept the S support elements even if slightly scaled back, Chloe and Celine definitely seem like wife material. From the leaks, I have a feeling the gameplay here may actually be better than in 3H, so I'm definitely looking forward to it.

@siavm
Yes, actually from what others have gathered here and what other VAs have said online 1000$ per day is totally normal for a role like this and in line with union standards.

@Synthra
It would be easier to feel sympathetic if she didn't ask for the boycott of this game, and therefore the grave consequences that would follow if something like that were to actually happen. As it is she comes of as very bitter and petty. Sure maybe VAs should be paid more, but this is definitely not the way to convince me of that.

@Synthra
She has stated herself in a past interview that her work on Bayonetta took 4 days.

@Friendly
What? It's a gig that would take less than a week, not even full work days. Sorry we're not all rich like you, but I cannot fathom that sum being ''peanuts''.

@NotArmani
Pretty sure most of these people have no clue who he is and have only ever seen Bayonetta in Smash Bros, if at all. But y'know, gotta ride that outrage train.

@Ulysses
I think her tweet is more of a ''huge multimillion franchise'' than Bayonetta.

@shonenjump86
I assume it'll do somewhat similarly to 2 despite the huge switch install base, it's the third game after all which will drive away many potential customers. if it does as good as Xenoblade DE on Switch I'd be pleasantly surprised.

@PrincessKatamari
I'm not one for celebrity gossip but I've never heard of Chris Pratt whining about his paycheck. If he has then he'd obviously be an entitled ass. He absolutely doesn't deserve that much and should be grateful every second of his life that he gets to enjoy that privilege, just like Hellena should be grateful for her privilege as a voice actress.

@jsty3105
Well in this situation, according to Hellena herself, she's very quick and only needs 3 takes per line.

@Ulysses
It's may seem a little silly, but I'm considering buying 2 copies just to support them if a bunch of twitter warriors wanna boycott Platinum. Then again game boycotts hardly ever work out anyway.

@Eagly
That would have been 4000$ for a few days of work, does not seem too bad if you ask me. Definitely more than I make haha.

@pneumaticgnosis
''Voice work takes months''
Hah, she has stated herself that voicing a whole Bayonetta game took less than a weeks worth of work. ''I recorded for four days.'' She usually repeats a line 3 times and that's it. Her own words.
Edit: I realized I probably should back up what I say lol. Look up her interview with Nintendo Players UK on Youtube, timestamp is around 7:50. There she talks about how much work voicing Bayo was.

This game must be cursed or something. I guess it's still better than Wii Sports Club at least.

@swoose
Unfortunately many people actually do really f*cked up stuff to their teeth to fit in with some trends. Including, but not limited to, sharpening and shaving them to make them look like shark teeth.

Heh, imagine being North American lmao, couldn't be me
(This is a joke please don't take it serious or be offended.)

It's been interesting to see the culture shock(?) people have when hearing her speak. I guess what sounds totally normal to you can be absolutely ear grating to someone else haha.

@HeadPirate
The hell are you on about? You mean ''boku''? That's not referring to yourself as a man at all. Do you consume no Japanese media or something?

@ZealMajin
or better yet, a complete edition with everything on 1 cart! (Unfortunately unlikely...)

@novasoup
Oh ok, if you're just joking that's fine. Sorry, hard to tell over text and all. I just really didn't like how upset certain people were at Shiver being a girl and I didn't want this to be a similar situation to that.

@novasoup
In the German news release TPC calls her a girl. Please don't be like this.

Her design actually seems cute to me. But as others have said, having a character be voiced in promotional material when we KNOW she'll be mute in game is just stupid.

Looks good! Character designs are fun.

Seeing some of these comments one could think that some people are unaware of the existence of pr0n. Relax, it's just a game aimed at horny nerds

NTR mode haha that's hilarious, day one buy for me

Very funny comment section, though I assume most are not old enough to have ever considered learning about this topic. At any rate, read up on how public companies, stock trading etc works. Not saying it'll help with all your financial troubles, but knowing a bit more about the machinations of this very important system that is integral to modern society can't hurt

I think I saw a Vtuber play this once, a Japanese one of course. As many have pointed out already Nintendo probably thinks they won't make the money back on localizing this, though I still think that there's a chance for a late digital only localization

God Damn! Nintendo buy some f**cking studios already. They're working with their old strategy of just asking for contracted games and because of that we missed out on more cool Bomber Man, Donkey Kong/other Rare games, Mario&Luigi, games by Skip, SMT that doesn't rely on the stupid Unreal Engine and now studios like Grasshopper and Marvelous are owned in part/wholly by Chinese companies.
The market is being partitioned and if Nintendo doesn't try to get a piece of that pie they'll miss out, and ultimately we will miss out.

That's great actually. I would have assumed that they'd just leave it like that

Congrats! While I didn't enjoy it as much as the first game it was still a very enjoyable, competent, adventure. Also, wow the Steam port sold like crap huh

I like the idea for a phone app and don't mind trying new things, especially if it's AR, but these models look a bit... uncanny? They are not quite hyper realistic but also not very stylized. I didn't think I was gonna make this comparison but they look like they're from a western 3DCG "adult" game. If they were heavily stylized like the in game models in the Style Savvy/Style Boutique games it would look much better, and it's not like today's generation is opposed to such an artstyle

I don't get people who still ask for Mother 3. There's a great fan translation that has been available for years and the game itself could not be translated nowadays as the contents would cause an uproar in the western hemisphere. There's a reason Nintendo has been silent on it so take the hint and play the fan translation

I wonder what miss Gray had in mind when she posted this article haha

Agree with the other commenters, this has to have gyro, if it does it'll absolutely be the definitve edition. I remember playing it on PS4 a couple of years ago but with the bonus content I'll get it again and also just to have the entire series on one system

Let me guess, full price and bloated filesize? Sorry, but no Ubi

Ugh, who do I blame for this decision Geoff or Riot? Frankly I don't see how he relates to this event, but I guess that's just typical awards show BS.
And this is off-topic but speaking of Sting the wrestler I always felt that his old look, Surfer Sting, was highly underrated/overlooked in favor of his later incarnation

I'm not sure ME themselves can make a good game, their own output has been very middling. But let's see how it goes I guess

The DS is amazing, and so is the PS2. However the gaming landscape has changed in such a way that there will never again be consoles that are as awesome as those two, so a "comeback" isn't really possible

@KBuckley27
It sold half a million brah, that's not barely selling

@The-Chosen-one
Sci-Fi Tower Defense/Visual Novel

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUU-
Wow, not in a million years would I have expected this to happen. To be honest I can't wrap my head around how this happened.
Edit: Actually I just now remembered that they had to scrap the Vita version because of performance issues and that the PS4 sometimes has trouble running the game so that just makes this even more surprising

Really cool to see something like this, a ''new'' retro game. Only half a gig in size so probably won't bother importing the retail.

I don't have an issue with Pratt not being italian, after all he's a VA not an actual on screen actor so it doesn't matter. But are they gonna take the Italian out of Mario or something? He's not gonna say ,,Mamma mia!" anymore?

@Doofenshmirtz
Yes you're correct, don't know if I can post links
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OpQAAOSwNG1hIwgC/s-l300.jpg

Unfortunate that it is digital only (the Japanese release had some great goodies that came with the game), but I'll definitely try it out. Wanna see what these rush duels are all about

Are you ***** serious? I know many people who have bought a switch because of the promise of SMTV all those years ago (myself included) so if this really is the case then that's just a massive slap in the face. ***** Sega

Is 2 million in 2 Weeks a lot for a mobile free to start Nintendo game? I just hope this + the great sales of Pikmin 3D will lead to a new title on switch
