B2 was offered to multiple publishers and Nintendo showed up at the 11th hour to save the game from being cancelled. Setting up the Bayonetta series as a Nintendo exclusive mostly because everyone else was willing to let it die.

I did have hope that the executives and pencil pushers at MS which forced Arkane to make that mess of a game would have wised up after the success of recent immersive, story-focused, single-player titles to let Arkane do what they do best instead of forcing them to make a game chasing trends in an attempt to garner the widest audience possible even though the devs have no experience in makes those kinds of titles.

But alas, giant megacorp will be giant megacorp about it.

For me it took a few hours to get into. Once the station starts to open up and becomes less linear it gets really good. I really love how that games level design tells so many interesting stories in different corners of the station.

Don't cite the deep magic to me. I was there when it was written. I grew up playing OG Prey

There's a port of og prey for oculus quest. It's pretty fun.

It's such a good fucking soundtrack, one of my all time faves

Tell that to every publisher constantly flipping a coin on Live Services that are expensive, risky, likely to fail/underperform... but could make them oodles of revenue.
