But the more i watched her vids the less i did Why is she attacking Jennifer Hale? "She's not the voice of Bayonetta. I created that voice. She has no right to sign merchandise as Bayonetta." There's a lot of EGO in that statement She called Hale a "new girl" too like Hale's IMDB page has 200 credits, and Taylor's has 20 in her 20 year career she could only book 20 jobs Heck Sean Chiplock who also has 200 credits, voiced Revali & 2 others in BOTW, and was paid only $2000 Why does miss "I trained with famous people!" think she deserves more than your standard VA? i agree VA's need to be paid more, but something feels off with this. Her whole argument plays on emotions, & cancel culture rather than perspective facts. Then her comparing nurses needing to go to food banks to feed their kids, to herself sitting at home next to her mic recording lines, & emailing them. I mean she retired from VA 8 years ago, it's clearly not her main source of income anymore, why is she acting like this offer made her poor & suicidal Then her false claim that Bayonetta made $450,000,000 without merch I don't like defending a billion dollar company hurr durr, but it def seems like there's more going on here. Yeah, she lost me when she randomly came for Jennifer. What she said was so bitchy. Yes, she did a good job voicing Bayonetta but she is not Bayonetta and did not create her. Who the hell she think she is to gatekeep the character? I'll get Bayonetta as I planned. Good luck to her tho.
lovecatt Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 dd I forgot about she said bayo made 450M in sales like girl those games sell nothing

Anyways, do nintendo fans even boycott games? swsh sold liki hotcakes and that's the last game with a big controversy Well the games barley scan wood as is so I’ll say that this is pretty bad. Not because of the actual protest but because people are gonna be afraid to touch the game online. Since the game is so niche, it could’ve used the boost/promo in NA from streamers and YouTubers and whatnot. So it’ll be forgotten after the diehards get it first week. (To be honest I wasn’t expecting this game to sell that well in the first place so I made peace with this being the last game a while ago. This just feels like the final nail in the coffin.)

Attitude Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Platinum Games has been doing really bad lately. That dragon game of theirs got cancelled and the last major game they released was being given out for free after it flopped. The last thing they need is bad press before the latest release of their only moderately successful franchise.
DanceFreak Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 P5 is so gorgeous. How can a game be this beautiful? Even the UI is a masterpiece

I know it's probs cuz of a XCI to NSP conversion, but i just wanna be safe or did u find a XCI file I hope SV works on FW14.0 cuz i am NOT looking forward to updating it again the way i've updated so many times, but every time i finally need to, i forget everything 6 hours ago, feelslikeadream said: Did you play the first one? The story is so depressing, but I actually loved how every side story didn't have some cheesy happy ending I did not, but i'm loving the side quests in NierA too. They're kinda painful tbh even though they're mostly fetch quests, the plot on most of them make it worth it. Did u play NierA? Cuz 9S is everything Noah should've been

I find quite suspicious how this drama is out just now, one week prior to the release basically, and not when people were really asking why the VA changed. Edited October 16, 2022 by KaledKalil
Graves Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 The voice acting made for a lot of the charm that got me into Bayo initially. Sad that happened to her, won't be picking up a copy of 3 immediately. Might grab a used copy down the line if I really want to play.

Cuz Reveal hidden contents 9S is everything Noah should've been I haven't! I only just played NieR Replicant a few months ago, so I'm waiting a little while before jumping into Automata (which I'm likely going to play on my PS5). I had to beat the first one like 5 times for the platinum trophy and I'm not ready for another game like that just yet
Rence Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 The speculation is that Platinum wanted Jennifer to be the VA for Bayo 3 but they were in a contractual obligation with Helena so they gave her an offer they knew she would refuse. Japanese corporations have a ridiculous way of “firing” people
sneakyishere Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 The boycott part is embarrassing. No one's going to do it + those claiming to do so are either people who weren't planning on buying the game in the first place or those who're just lying to feel better about their internet persona LMAO. Also her psychotic take on how Jennifer isn't allowed to pretend she's Bayonetta.
Melquiades Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Hellena should have been paid way more (iconic voice tbh) but the way she's acting about this is very unprofessional and maybe Platinum wanted to replace her precisely because she had acted unprofessional before? If so they were proven right but they didn't manage the situation properly AT ALL.
arceus Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Her tweet has gathered so much attention, even my non-nintendo fan friends sent me the tweet. And that guy from PlatinumGames just deleted his Twitter? We love to see it
JonginBey Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 When I said NO to buying Bayonetta 3, @znake threatened to report me. Now here we are. Truly ahead of my time.
Edibles. Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 People are still going to buy the game regardless if Hellena is voicing her or not. Does the situation suck, and so I emphasize with her? Of course. Am I still buying the game? Yes. Her weird biblical rant towards the end was really weird too.
Cruel Summer Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Has anyone here used both an OLED Switch and a Switch Lite? Wondering for handheld gaming if the OLED screen really is all that, or whether the sharpness of the smaller Lite screen and the much lower weight are better despite the lack of OLED quality. I was going to get a Steam Deck but a bunch of games I would have played are unsupported. I just want something to play some JRPGs (Oninaki, I Am Setsuna, Octopath, that kind of thing) entirely handheld and I’m worried that I’d just never use the OLED in handheld mode because I never use my regular Switch that way (I strongly preferred the Lite for handheld gaming when I had one).

These are major actors . Paying/Money isn’t a problem. What the— I had no idea Kit was in XC3 I can't find who he played though. IMDB just says "other".... Do you know? He's also voicing Lucas in the new Plague Tale, wow
Cloudy Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 I think she's completely right on her take. It's not that she's gatekeeping the character, she is the character, she's a very important part of what made Bayonetta Bayonetta, the new actress is basically working on her hard work, style and performance to do her so I would be pressed and mad too (not that it's the fault of the new actress, but you know what I mean). I honestly cannot fathom why a studiowould think people are going to be more inclined or are going to go running to buy a video game because of a voice actor. Like most people don't even look at credits or anything of the sort, let alone know anything about VAs. Should have paid her what she deserved instead of pulling this shitty move on her And that japanese guy from Platinum is a cretin

Magickarp Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Finished Nier Automata & i cannot recommend it enough i can't say much without giving away the plot, but the game is literally ART It's dark, & intensely philosophical without the philosobabble of XC3. The opening sequence is the hardest part of the game so just set it to Easy mode Now on to Persona 5 5 hours ago, feelslikeadream said: I haven't!

INCHteresting I also saw that the "replay" routes in Auto are far less repetitive than Rep. There's lesser than 5 too Since i never played Rep i can't compare, but I rarely ever replay games, & Auto does a very good job of making things different. And replaying this was so ******* worth it

And replaying this was so ******* worth it I've heard Auto is less repetitive too, which is good. To be fair, I didn't find Rep to be that bad because I actually found it pretty easy, so it didn't feel bad/grindy to replay, since you at least get some interesting changes each time. And then the final playthrough (Ending E) is entirely different. Since you liked Auto, are you planning to play Rep? The story and characters are so good. I honestly think playing it right before XC3 was a mistake since I naturally compared them, to XC3's detriment
