In the popular Bayonetta slasher, the review includes an examination of the plot, gameplay, system requirements and the passage of the initial chapters. This project was released on the console back in 2009, but it was imported to personal computers only in the spring of 2017. For all PC users, the game is considered fresh, and you should know all about it.
The plot of the game
In the Bayonetta project, a plot review can be embedded in several lines. In this dynamic slasher (a genre with the need to respond with buttons to certain actions), attention is focused on colorful battles, and not on a colorful story. The user will have to control the eponymous heroine, who is a witch that woke up after five hundred years of oblivion with a lost memory. Over time, she begins to recall that in the past she fought in a war between two witch groups. Some revered the light, and others the darkness. In modern times, they disappeared from the fictional city of Wigrid, but the goals remain the same. The main character needs to find two eyes - powerful artifacts that can influence the fate of the world.
Game process
About the gameplay of the game Bayonetta can all say the name of the chief game editor Hideki Kamiya, who was at the origins of the creation of another similar project, "The Devil May Cry." Here is the same combat system using a variety of techniques. The main character knows a wide variety of attacks; she uses the guillotine and other torture weapons to destroy enemies. In addition, it can quickly dodge and slow down time. At this point, it is convenient to apply complex combinations of attacks to powerful enemies. Bayonetta is a strong girl, and she can perform a double jump, tearing down various obstacles on the way. As the story progresses, users will be able to turn the main character into different animals, such as a panther. This adds new abilities and skill combinations. In addition to physical abilities, the young witch has the opportunity to use magic. It is based on elemental strikes; special energy is consumed for use.
System requirements
In the game Bayonetta requirements are not much to please owners of weak personal computers. The necessary minimum will be the presence of an Intel processor model i3 3220 and four gigabytes of RAM. The video card must be a sample of the GeForce GTX 570 or a similar one from Radeon, supports DirectX 9.0c technology. In the presence of such parameters, the launch is possible only with minimal settings. For a more comfortable game, you need an i5 4460 processor and twice as much RAM. The video card should be a series higher than the Geforce GTX 760. The game starts only on a 64-bit system with the operating system Windows 7 or newer series. To reduce any inhibitions and increase FPS, users should use disk defragmentation and additional utilities. It is also worth cleaning the registry from errors and installing all the necessary additional software. Only after that the game will be guaranteed to work provided that the system meets the minimum requirements.
Cheats, mods, save
It is worth noting that Bayonetta is not too simple a game, and for users it is necessary to know about additional and supporting materials. There are a large number of them, and their fans created them for other similar players. Cheats in Bayonetta are not entered through the console. To enter commands, you need to download a trainer. Then the opportunity will open to make endless ammo, life, jumping, objects and much more. Players are also interested in mods for Bayonetta, which, unfortunately, are not abundant. There are some files that decorate the main character and enemies in other outfits. Among other useful files, you should pay attention to the user settings of the extension, removing black bars at the edges and various kinds of crack. If you don’t want to use cheats, but can’t get past some point, then save another player for Bayonetta. It is enough to drop them into the desired folder and then it will be possible to continue after a difficult game moment.
The beginning of the passage
The passage of Bayonetta begins with the fact that the main character, along with one unknown girl, fights the superior powers of the angels. The episode is made in the form of training, where the user is given the opportunity to test combinations, learn to dodge, which is an important element of the entire combat system. At the end of the fight, a screen saver begins, where the fanatics turn into angels. After this, the prologue begins, in which the user is introduced to the cemetery with the guy Enzo and the black Rodin. The first will provide Bayonetta with information, and the second will issue weapons directly in this act. The cemetery will have to fight the angels again, and behind the fence there will be a large enemy with an ax. You can defeat him by dodging and hitting a weak spot on his back. Then Enzo will offer to take the heroine to the airport, but a new battle will begin on the way. The main task will be to carry out three executions in three minutes. To do this, accumulate all eight spheres and press the R key near the enemy. The main thing here is not to fall under the blows of enemies, because the energy in the game is removed for this.
First chapter
It is worth noting that in addition to the passage prologue, Bayonetta is divided into 15 chapters, each of which contains 9 different acts. They are all different in length, but it will take a lot of time to completely clear all locations. After the prologue, the main character arrives in America, the city of Wigrid, and the passage immediately begins with a long corridor. Here you need to knock out the wall, go to the closed door, jump in front of it into the pit and open the chest. You will have a key with which you can kill the angels that appeared. Open the door and defeat three new enemies, after which the statue will be restored on the pedestal. It must be dropped, and for this a ray of light will strike from the sky. It is important to evade in time to activate time dilation and run over this gap on the surface of the water. At the next intersection, you can stop by a store called “Gates of Hell,” where the red portal leads. It is immediately worth noting that users need to inspect all the nooks, balustrades and open standing chests. In such places important resources are hidden. Step further along the road, kill medium-sized angels and one large with an ax. After that, the main character will receive a powerful shotgun.
The end of the first chapter and the beginning of the second
Passing Bayonetta at the end of the first chapter will force the player to face two strong opponents. The first will be a monster with two dragon heads on the bridge, when the main character remembers the past witch war. He needs to carry half his health. When he attacks with fire, then just dodge, and when with his mouth, wait for the last moment and in slowdown deal damage. When hitting the tail, do a double jump, use pistols at a distance. The next will be the boss, who must first be beaten on his hand, then jump off the court and go to a more spacious place. The battle with standard dodging and combo attacks will continue there. The second chapter begins with the fact that Bayonet recalls the battle with Janie (the girl who was in the first scene). It is enough for the player to follow the opponent and not fall under fast strikes. After returning to our time, the moon appears in the sky and it becomes possible to run along the wall. Take advantage of this, smash the left statue and defeat flying enemies.
Continuation of the second chapter
The passage in Bayonetta of the second chapter continues on the town square. Do the same technique with raising and lowering the statue. At the time of slowdown, break the wall in your path. The screensaver with reporter Luke will follow, and it will be necessary to defeat three medium-sized angels and one large. Go to the next lane and immediately get ready to jump over a burning tram. This will be followed by a battle with four burning wheels. Further it will be necessary to defeat the already familiar monsters with axes. Dodge their wide but slow attacks, and then hit a weak spot on your back. After the victory, go to the left dead end and open two chests. Then go to the lower platform and go along the road on the right side, fight with two angels and take the prize from the chest. Then return to the square, turn on the deceleration using statues and run to the wall, which will suddenly become a small bridge. After that, you have to fight with the new big monster.
Second part
After the successful release of the first part in 2009, the developers for a long time hesitated to talk about Bayonetta 2. Only five years later the release took place, but only Wii U, the Nintendo console, received attention. The material from the original game was taken as the basis, and no significant changes occurred at the base of the game process. Management was sharpened specifically for a portable console. The main character remains a witch with a huge variety of abilities. Her arsenal has increased even more, and receptions have become incredibly deadly. The plot of Bayonetta 2 tells the story of events that occurred immediately after the end of the first part. Close friend of Bayonetta Jeanne was killed, after which immediately a conflict broke out in the universe between angels, demons and ancient gods. In this war, the main character is assigned a separate role, which must be performed for the good of the world.
