Bayonetta 3 features a mode that makes her less sexy

Bayonetta 3 will feature a mode making it to where our favorite witch is less scantily clad. This feature, which PlatinumGames calls ‘Naive Angel Mode’, will show less skin when Bayonetta fuses with a demon. For you see, when this happens, she basically turns into Lady Godiva – completely nude with only her hair covering private areas. With Naive Angel Mode in place, she will instead appear fully clothed, and when merging with Infernal Demon Madama Butterfly, instead of wearing a rather revealing outfit, she will instead sport something more conservative. Relax, the witch is back and sexier than ever🌙We’ve…

IO Interactive is offering Hitman 3 players an olive branch after the release on Steam “didn’t go as planned.” It seems new Hitman 3 owners and potential customers were a bit miffed at how the game was launched on the service. The issue players had with the game was the various purchase options available for the Hitman games. One of the biggest issues potential customers had was the fact Hitman 3 was priced at $60 for a game without anything but the base content. To appease buyers and potential…
