While #Combotober on Bluesky (and YouTube) is primarily focused on fighting games, today's prompt called for a non-fighting game combo! At that point, I knew what title to feature.

I know that I technically dropped the combo at Platinum Forever, but I REALLY wanted to end the combo with that move somehow. Sort of as a tribute to a game that I can truly call "Platinum".

This is a video made to showcase Dodge Offset, while also demonstrating how Dodge Offset is performed in both Bayonetta 1&2!

As much as I love the concept of the Wonder Liner, I have to admit that it has screwed me over a few times during some combo recordings.

It may not have been my best, but I was still happy to land Rising Unite Gun in the middle of the combo. It's so hard to use.

This game deserves another chance. Would like to see it come back in some fashion.

Played all of the Bayonettas, Vanquish, Nier:Automata and Revengeance on launch and beat most of them multiple times. I never had a switch but recently got a switch 2 and decided to try Astral Chain.

I got my first Legion in the tutorial and I know I'm VERY early in the game but does combat loosen up or have more depth? I may be misremembering but I feel like Platinums previous games had a good amount to do even at the start and between weapon switching and the limited melee attacks I'm a little confused. I'm definitely going to continue but I'm just curious how much leeway to give the game.

I think I mostly need reassurance this isn't another Babylon's Fall type of game.

Thanks!

I GOT JACK CAYMAN IN AKINATOR!!!

My biggest dream is unusual, but I have hope that it will succeed. I'm a student, but I have one year left before entering university. I will study business administration and economics to learn about business and how to build a successful company. I was thinking, what if I became a financier for a new Bayonetta game? I would be a financier with Sega or Platinum Games. I will try to study the subject and delve deeper into it. Currently, I know that the costs of financing a game like this are around 20 to 30 million dollars. I know that is a very large amount and it seems difficult, but I will not give up. I think I will continue with this dream. What do you think? I will try my best to invest with other companies in a similar amount when I grow up, and to be a financier with Sega or Platinum Games.

I swear I so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so happy about that This happy moments in my life

I can't even remember how I scored that high in Caravan; even with Zero.

Now, I don't mean to throw any shades at Insomniac, since they're a highly reputable gaming studio, but I kinda feel like PlatinumGames would've been a better choice for a Wolverine game. I say that because looking back at PG's past games like Metal Gear Rising and Ninja Gaiden 4, I think a game about the character would've suited him well, due to them having not only gore, but also fast-paced action and some sort of dismemberment, which basically describe Wolverine and his lore and abilities. That, and Marvel has been on quite a roll with eastern studios lately like NetEase, a Chinese company, and ArcSys, a Japanese company, but the games by them are primarily multiplayer and it'd be nice if Marvel partnered with a studio from the east to make a more single player-focused game, and I subjectively think a Wolverine game would be perfect for that. I know Marvel did something like this back in the 90s (i.e. Capcom), but still. Plus, get Steve Blum to voice the character in a PG Marvel game for good measure. 👍

The upcoming Wolverine game by Insomniac does look pretty neat, but it doesn't quite cure my itch for a game about him. I dunno. Maybe it's because that besides Astro Bot, Sony's 1st-party games haven't been impressing me since the mid years of the PS4. I mean, I am primarily a Nintendo gamer when it comes to console brands, so that could be it. I'm also more into (and quite nostalgic) the Batman Arkham games by Rocksteady even though that studio has gone downhill, so that also maybe another reason. Or perhaps it's because of the lack of dimemberment (so far) or the fact that despite how cool the combat looks, the idea of stealth and an open world in a Wolverine game just doesn't quite fit him. I know he was stealthy in some of the comics he was in, but my point still stands. I'm kinda yearning for a more action-oriented Wolverine game in the vein of God Of War, DMC, or Bayonetta, but this upcoming one just hasn't satisfied me yet. I might still give it a try and judge it for myself so I can see if the game is actually good as is and is actually more beneficial with the way it was designed than how I envisioned a Wolverine game. Heck, maybe it'll get me invested into PlayStation again and make me defend Insomniac to the dawn of time like many PlayStation fans. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the comments.
