Lady Gaga currently on Chapter V of Bayonetta (Update Chapter XIII)
- Thread starter Forkball
- Start date
But does she drink Monster energy drinks and is she eating Doritos for that sweet double XP like any real gamer does? Also she doesn't have a fedora, an anime body pillow or neck beard so I think she's not a real gamer... and she's not racist.
Pretty much. Its bad enough for your average person who doesn't have like millions of eyeballs on everything they do at all times.
I unironically wouldn't mind a cover of Moon River, provided she found a producer that could do it justice.
I don't have any affinity for her at all as a pop musician, but one has to admire the way she lives her life. Sings with Tony Bennett one day, plays Bayonetta the next. The dream.
Some say that the phrase YAS QUEEN is overused, but nothing has ever been YAS QUEEN-er than this.
Absolutely. Maybe not all, but some for sure, and especially women. One of my best friends is a celebrity that I met through video games, and she never talks about her relatively "nerdy" interests or love of video games publicly because of the type of audience that attracts, and how she's seen examples of the harassment from gamers and enthusiasts. She already deals with death threats, hacking attempts, invasions of privacy, and unwanted advances from "fans", but the level of scrutiny the gatekeeping kind of nerds exhibit, especially toward women, and the kind of attention that can come from her dropping, say, a tweet about Bayonetta, makes her uneasy. She likes to maintain privacy and normalcy, so she keeps her specific interests to herself.
They also typically don't come up in interviews, they would have to be doing an interview for an outlet more versed in games or something, or be attached to a project that is connected. Most don't talk too much about games, and so it's always a surprise with someone notable shares interest in Metroid or Bayonetta. It would be awesome if everyone felt as comfortable to talk about their interests and hobbies as a most male celebrities do. Seeing so many of them excited about the latest FIFA, sharing Spider-Man photos, and fishing about RDR2 shows that not everyone feels they have to keep it hidden, but I don't think the men are as antagonized about it as the women are.
Basically this^
Pfft, just playing it? Madonna had a full Bayonetta themed event in Japan!

Gaming is in that weird place where everyone does it but people still feel the need to delineate between a regular person and a "gamer." Kind of like how you used to be made fun of for liking Star Wars even though literally everyone has seen Star Wars.
I would imagine because the term "gamer" and video games in general still have a very negative connotation with people as something for nerds and losers, especially in light of Gamegate and other such bullshit. So even people who love video games feel like they have to separate themselves or not talk about it.
In the case of Lady Gaga, though, I could also see her keeping it to herself for so long because it's either A. not the kind of thing she feels her fanbase would be interested in or B. she likes to have a few hobbies just for herself.
The thing most people do not know is the fact how much of a paper nightmare is to involve a "Star" into a game. Especially for Japanese company. EA does it because of connections with sport companies.
I dont think we even going to see GaGa use Bayonetta image in her future clips since Japanese are quite defensive of their IP's and give a lot of rules to use them, I'm pretty sure her agents would call these moves more of a waste of time then even curious experience, plus you never can satisfy game fans.
Would be cool though I'm dont see her as Bayonetta, GaGa does have presence but Bayoneeta is a tall order for any real life woman to fulfill. Like we talking here not just a Queen but THE Queen.
I think she'd have a lot of fun with the campiness, but the random detail I'm getting stuck on is that Gaga is pretty short while Bayonetta is very tall. But if two trilogies starring hobbits can be done and made believable, I'm sure the reverse could be done as well.
I would not expect Lady Gaga to be in a future game at all but I could see promotional deals working out if all parties involved are fine with it. SEGA's usually super lax about this stuff.
Or C) Call me cynical, but when I see a celebrity who publicly "Nerds out" I see it as a marketing ploy.
people wouldnt hate gamers if they were more like lady gaga and less white incel dudes who shoot up yoga studios
Marketing to who, though? I don't think Gaga's traditional fanbase has much crossover with people likely to buy a niche Japanese action game. Look at the comments under her tweet; her fans mostly have no idea wtf she's talking about. lol
She is 6 months late then if she is marketing Bayonetta Switch.
Someone tweet her the Smash Bros. Infinity Wa--World of Light cinematic for reactions and hype:
If this is true good because I'd love for more Gaga x Bayo, that's like a dream come true
But I think she probably just likes the game. It's not like a huge series or anything that could get a star like her in an ad campaign.
Plus it doesn't make sense since Bayo 1 came out on switch 6 months ago
You do realize that Bayonetta 3 is apparently still coming?
...And Bayonetta desperately needs the publicity at this point.
I mean if she's gonna be playing any video game, it would be that one wouldn't it.
Switch version already outsold Wii U version, they're not in TOO much of a rush.

She's an actress now, so go ahead and produce and star in the movie please.
And keep Paul W.S. Anderson the fuck away
