My code finally worked. Didn't do anything fancy. I just tried again on PSN store.

 

[Rickenslacker]

There's something I haven't been able to intuit yet, what's the blue aura flash your character sometimes gets? I think it has something to do with blocking stamina recovery?

 

[Data West]

I got my Bayonetta code working by redeeming online in SEN if that helps anybody. This happen an hour ago.

Worked for me as well. Didn't see is PSN wouldve worked recently though, so maybe it would?

 

[RubyEclipse]

We're seeing a very large number of reports that the Bayonetta codes are now working for North American customers - if you were previously getting the "Invalid" error, please give it another shot and let me know if it works.

I don't want to call it just yet, but it's definitely looking like we're almost there.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

I finally made my JPN PSN account and tried my Bayo code... IT WORKED.

 

[Riptwo]

I preordered the 360 version from Best Buy in Canada an eternity ago and forgot to check the DLC situation, but I guess I'm screwed on the Bayonetta front unless they sell it separately. Kind of makes me just want to return the thing.

 

[Uraizen]

I cannot seriously be the only one whose codes still don't work.

 

[RubyEclipse]

I'll make sure we get you there, don't worry. Keep checking back each hour and see if it works, then update me via PM!

Probably elemental attack affinity. I'm not sure what dictates you getting them but yesterday when practicing offline I'd get it during combo finishers if I had a streak going.

[chrono01]

I'm glad to hear that the codes are now working [for most]. I will test for myself once I am able [within an hour or two].

Thanks for looking into this, RubyEclipse!

 

[zroid]

aaaaaa my Bayo code finally worked :'D

 

[A Human Becoming]

360 group, we should set up a time Friday to play. What's a good time for people? I should be fine after 5PM EST.

This is a good time to practice some fighting game fundamentals!

• You can break out of throws by pressing the throw button with the right timing right as they're reaching out for you. I haven't practiced the exact timing much yet, but if you know the other guy's going to try and throw you as you're getting up, can't hurt to try hitting Throw right back at him.
• Holding Y (Triangle) activates your charge attack, which has super armor ("blocks" enemy attacks) IIRC. That's one way to block and punish, but you can also escape out of combos using your 360 Attack (Square+X, or X+A). It takes a chunk of your life unless you equip a skill that removes the penalty, and it can be punished hard if your opponent blocks/dodges it, but you're completely invincible until as (maybe just after?) the move hits.
• If you mean "two or more guys smacking my body around at the same time," then doing a 360 Attack, like in any combo, will knock 'em back.

Thanks for the pro-tips!

 

[Roto13]

If any of you people want to add me for some multiplayer on PSN later, I'm rotothirteen.

 

[TheSpoiler]

aaaaaa my Bayo code finally worked :'D

I'll try before I leave for work. Do I put the code in as is, or is there something special I should do with it?

 

[zroid]

Worked as normal. I did it on the web too, so you can try it there immediately if you have the code handy.

 

[Bucca]

Which character is good for a beginner and has a nice fast speed to him? Leo looks to fit this bill.

 

[Vilix]

The JPN Bayo code doesn't work on my US XBL account. I'll have to wait for the XBLM DLC.

 

[RubyEclipse]

I'd recommend Leo! Very agile and a good start for new players.

 

[Data West]

I used to think Platinum knew good game design. Then they put in shitty button mash QTEs for single player that makes you start all the way over

 

[Eusis]

They're trying to recreate the Samurai Showdown button mashing! Let's just hope it's not really random (though that'd probably be "fairest" for online play).

And the code works on my end, put it in through the Vita! Which is most convenient for retries because it doesn't wipe the code and you can just put the system to sleep until you want to try again.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Even Bayonetta had those annoying cutscene QTEs that did the same.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

Maybe it'll go live Friday when Europe joins the party.

DLC is already live in the uk.

 

[Roto13]

What determines which perk you unlock for getting 100 kills outside of the events in the campaign? Is there one perk per level or what?

 

[TheSpoiler]

So did Vanquish.

Did Okami?

Edit: Code worked!

 

[Retro_]

yeah

One 100 kill perk and 5 blue concept art safes per level on each side I believe

and the perk is always the same.

 

[Naite]

Just got my copy in the mail. Playing around with bots in simulation to get a feel of the modes and maps.

 

[Roto13]

yeah

Is there a list of which perks are for which levels? Because I don't want to try to remember which ones I've already gotten.

 

[K.Sabot]

Cage match is fun.

Don't you dare 360 spam or I will infinite you lol

 

[Data West]

Zero and Black Baron need their own co-op game. The Adventures of Token Ninja and Token Black Guy

 

[CubanBoy1127]

I'm thinking about getting this game but I wanted to know if there was a difference in versions. I have both systems and remember the bayonetta ps3 fiasco. Thanks GAF!

 

[Ferrio]

Cage match is fun.

How do you infinite?

 

[Retro_]

Lol

I don't know. I just did them all in order to avoid that exact problem.

I'm pretty sure the ones you don't unlock, unlock with rank in multiplayer.

 

[Retro_]

How do you infinite?

Take ur pick

 

[Riposte]

The tutorial room music is some the best "training room" music ever.

EDIT: So is it safe to say this game is balanced around teamplay? With such easy infinites...

 

[QisTopTier]

Take ur pick

I wanted to learn sasha and that infinte was the easiest looking thing I have ever fucking seen LOL

No I take that back I forgot about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFWNSAAt_aI

 

[K.Sabot]

There has to be some sort of host advantage in this, I can't break this guy's grabs no matter how much I read them.

 

[Ferrio]

Take ur pick

Hrm mathilda's looks easy enough.. though lag always an issue. I was getting some wonky games yesterday. Hard to hit confirm launcher sometimes.

 

[wheremypho]

Is the dlc code provided in the game case? I preordered at eb games but I don't see any code on the receipt

 

[Eusis]

It should be there, look under the barcode. If it really isn't there, take it up with GameStop.

 

[wheremypho]

I spoke with them when I picked it up and they told me they didn't receive the code and that it could be in the case. Thanks though.

 

[Foxix Von]

They're idiots. That can't be right. I'm not 100% positive how it works now, but when I worked there a little over a year ago there was either a number we could punch/scan in to have the printer produce a code on the receipt after purchase. That or it would be handled automatically.

Some codes would come on a specific paper slip that we would receive in a bundle that would be handed out at purchase. That however is not the case here.

Do you have another gamestop you can talk to/talk to the manager at the store?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

My code finally worked, awesome!

Yep I can go check at another store since its relatively close. I thought pre orders were handled differently though from store to store? I'll give it a shot though so thanks for the help!

 

[vulva]

How do you put your weapon away after taking it out to use?

 

[Foxix Von]

Pre orders are, yes. However since this isn't a physical slip so there's not really an inventory on hand to worry about. If I were you I'd try a different store with the same receipt and explain that there was some mix up and you didn't receive the bonus and they won't give it to you.

I know it's possible to print out codes independently of pre orders as well. Someone in here even had a friend print him up a DLC code even though he didn't pre order.

 

[Retro_]

once an item is activated you cant use your KW until you use it up

 

[QisTopTier]

Got my copy Time to unlock characters now

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

code worked finally! hell yes!

 

[Ferrio]

Where do you get items? I see something about a message about randomizing items or something, but I never find them.
