I am this close to picking this up.

I liked the first game, but I didn't love it. However, I kind of rushed through it, and I never really got to grips with the combat system.

That was several years ago, though. Having played several Platinum games since then, I think I will be able to get to grips with this one better.

Hmm, I'll decide over the weekend.

Shit, Bobby, buy the fuckin' game, already.

This is gonna top Wolfenstein, for me. Easy.

How does it feel to play using the game pad ? Is a pro controller essential or is it fine without?

The gamepad is fine. It's a regular controller with a screen.

Try it before writing it off completely.

This is the best pic I've seen so far! I can't see Mario's face but I know dude can't even deal..

That's a pretty epic pic


Reminds me of the new smash direct where I thought Bayonetta was going to be the new challenger (when they showed the gigantic moon) but it ended up being Bowser Jr.

Thanks!! Mario just can't believe the awesomeness of this freaking game omg.

 

[Dartastic]

I played through chapter 4. My thumb hurts. I had to stop. Hahaha. FFFFF SO GOGOODODODOOOOOOD

 

[Zeliard]

Have no problem with the gamepad, but then again, I never really do.

All these weapon combonations are stressin me out damn! Is it bad if I just wanna stick with the pistols? I like the bow too though...and the flamethrowers..arg!

[Grisby]

Can;t remember which chapter I stopped at tonight but I ended up back in a place that made me smile. This game plays so good.

I'm in love with the bow now. The little shit has grown on me too.

You know, after playing this and Evil Within back to back I'm in some action game heaven. Those Japanese devs just aren't afraid to mix things up.

Am I going crazy im or is this game not really holding a solid 60fps during some of the bigger attack animations?

I don't think a platinum game has ever held a steady 60fps.

[Cheska]

Why don't people pre-order anymore? If you know you'll want a game, why not throw $5 to reserve your copy? Or you can even use Amazon and not have to put any money down until it ships.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I am really feeling the music in this. I expected it to be good, but damn

The Prologue boss battle music when you get to the top of the building still gave me chills. Such a fantastic track.

can't wait to climax together with you guys

I feel like I'm going to use anything but the guns in this playthrough. So far I just have the swords and I already never want to go back to the guns.

love my gamepad feels good for my hands, I do own a WiiU Pro the pro is amazing for what it is but the gamepad screen is still a draw for me beside the action is also mirrored on the screen with a miiverse share icon I plan to spam

if you don't mind spending the cash I recommend always owning a Pro for action games

TW101 almost killed my gamepad that thing is not easy to replace so when things get epic and I am abusing the pad I switch to pro

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Co-op spoiler:

Sometimes after three matches the game will offer you a card that lets you fight Bayonetta and Jeanne and that shit cray

Haven't played it using the gamepad. But I hear it works great playing with a traditional control setup config.

 

[Teknoman]

I say use different combos of weapons with different costume playthroughs.

And the gamepad works just fine. Also yay for Wonderful 101 theme as the news network theme.

 

[Zeliard]

I played the demo a few times with the regular Wii U Gamepad. It worked great.

Using a Wii Pro Controller now but if you don't have one you should be totally fine.

I can't fucking wait to play The Wonderful 101 now that I have a Wii U. After I finish Bayonetta 2, it will be the next game I play.

I did the same thing, the swords are awesome. I even thought I was going to play the whole game with the swords, but after unlocking a few other weapons I don't even use them anymore. I'm constantly finding a new favorite.

 

[Sayter]

Me either! Swords/whips combo is the best.

Wait. Where you referring to weapons in this game?

Uhh... Swords? Sure why not? Nevermind what I said earlier.

 

[TheBlueBomber]

I have a feeling this is gonna be my GOTY, I THOUGHT it was gonna be evil within (yeah yeah, i don't wanna talk about the performance stuff here lol) but this sounds like it's EVERYTHING i'm hoping for

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Is fine and 100% playable. My hands might get a bit tired after a while but otherwise there's no problem.

 

[Durden77]

But I love shooting bullets everywhere. But the swords are godlike too, and the melee range is so good. Not sure how much I like it's hand combos though. There's too much to love!

 

[Coda]

Yeah totally.

My loadouts are currently:

Type A:
Love is Blue
Love is Blue (sometimes I'll switch in the flamethrower/ice machine)

Type B:
Kafka (bow)
Dual Swords

 

[dani_dc]

Just did the prologue and I had a smile in my face the entire time, much like in the original game.
Few games get me this happy.

Now I'm feeling like going out km search of the collectors edition even though I already got the DD version.

I was lucky enough to grab the last copy at my local best buy. They even had to go into the back to dig it out for me.

Won't be able to play until tomorrow, but very excited!

Going from that struggle framerate to this was like having an epiphany.

 

[MrSaturn99]

just finished the prologue

I FUCKING BELIEEEEVEEEEEEEEE

 

[Unit24]

Just finished Bayo 2. Pretty awesome game overall, but I think Bayo 1 had a better finale.

Has anything new been added to the first game besides extra costumes? Also, how do you flip the Varia Suit visor during cutscenes? I tried every button and nothing happened.

Believe it is down on the D-pad.

 

[Kensuke]

Got overall platinum on Prologue, Ch. 1 and Ch. 2. Feels good.

 

[Brandon F]

Looked at 2 stores and couldn't find the game

I was lucky to find 1 copy at target

THis game is soo good, soo fucking overwhelming too but sooo goood

.. not pictured pikmin 3..i should of gotten that physical instead of digital x.x and my collection would of been complete.

No MH3U...

 

[Zeliard]

Oh man the co-op is great. I feel like I should progress in the game further before messing too much with it though, all my co-op partners have some wicked-looking three-bladed scythe and huge health bars.

Good thing I have a bunch of points sitting on my account. First thing I've wanted from there in ages.

 

[Durden77]

Yeah totally.

My loadouts are currently:

Type A:
Love is Blue

Type B:

These are my exact loadouts, down to switching out the flamethrowers lol

 

[TheBlueBomber]

It didn't even bother me at all in TEW, but i'm sure this feels WAY better

 

[Quote]

I went to Target and Walmart, neither had it. Gah. Each being 15-20gbs makes it so dumb to buy as a digital download.

 

[djcatskratch]

I guess Amazon didn't do release date shipping for some reason so I have to wait until Monday before I can partake of this joyous game. It's not like I have plenty of games in my backlog to work on haha.

You can get the scythe in Chapter 5 so it's not that far into the game!

 

[SmokedMeat]

Popped Bayonetta 1 in first just to see it again, and damn, I'm shocked at how much better Bayonetta 2 looks!
Game is freakin' gorgeous, and no videos I've seen prepared me for how damn good it looks on my TV. Really enjoying this, it's a breath of fresh air!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Not anymore

Eh. I'm waiting for the Arcadia version. I hope she comes out before we all die.

 

[tali'zorah84]

Any idea on how to get

Spoiler

the Crow in Chapter 4? Up on the power lines? It's driving me crazy

edit: nvm, got it.

Spoiler

You have to double jump into it

 

[Byron Bluth]

Eh. I'm waiting for the Arcadia version. I hope she comes out before we all die.

Where will this be available for purchase one it does come out?

 

[Bombless]

Yeah I've been looking at eBay and Amazon. Looking at about $250. How much did you pay originally Cheska?

I got her off Amiami at release for about 90USD. The box is huge so shipping was expensive, but otherwose the orice was amazing for the size imo.
