Yeah, it's great. I also liked Undine a lot more when I found out it could freeze any enemy class, even bosses.

Wait when does it freeze bosses? In Witch time?

Yeah in WT you can freeze bosses. It looks like a good strategy on Infinite Climax
I cheesed it out with Star of Dineta. Everytime I would struggle just go far from that one enemy left (usually the shittiest left alone) to recharge health.
FASHION ALERT
Smash-GAF knows I love me some boots. Here are some of the best boots in Bayonetta 2:
Jeanne (default):
Star Mercenary:
Alraune:
I'd also like to recognize her dress:
Forget new chapters, weapons, etc., what we really need for DLC is even more footwear options. A Lucina costume would've been exquisite. Captain Falcon, too, while we're at it!

Sweet those are my second favorite weapon but for some reason I never thought of trying that out.
The fact you can slam with the whips on frozen targets is awesome too
[[Bootloving intensifies]]
I concur, god damn that police outfit, and the chomper on the ankle is the icing on the ever so sexy cake
Just bought it in the UK, I didn't realise we don't get Bayonetta 1 with it...great
There's another box which has both games. The Special edition. Wasn't it released in the UK?

Yeah I think there was multiple versions in the UK. The Special Edition cost a little bit more but came with both games IIRC.

You had to get the special edition which would have been a box that'll have both games in separate cases. At least in Australia it cost the standard price. Deal of the century
Keep the button pressed.
Nice, I'll try this out now.

I ordered it from tesco direct, there was no special edition shown, I incorrectly assumed it came with Bayonetta 1, I didn't realise we had different versions in the UK.
I just beat Bayonetta 2. Overall, it's very good. The combat is best of genre IMO, and with several weapons and the Nintendo costumes there's some replay value.
My main issue is with the story. There are so many cutscenes, especially the stop action ones. I didn't like any of them really.
Also, the game lacked the spark of being introduced to Bayonetta, which was part of what made the first game so extraordinary to me.
It's a super strong character action game. I'd give it an 8.5/10. I gave the first Bayonetta a 9.0/10.

Shouldn't be a problem with the gamepad, really.
Learning something new about this game every time I check this thread. This is one reason why I love PG's games so much.

Wierd that not using items can bump you from what would be a gold chapter to a platinum. Had 5 golds, 2 pure platinums and a platinum (or 2) and the chapter averaged out to platinum. In the first game you could maybe get one gold to average a plat.
Do you get anything for getting plat/pure plat on all chapters? I just read that you get Jeanne for beating the game on 3rd climax.

She unlocks if you finish the game on any difficulty.
Unlock spoilers for those who haven't reached Chapter XIII:
You unlock Rosa for finishing the game on 3rd Climax

Platinum on all Chapters gets you a bracer.

You should try holding the button with each weapon! Everything does something different. Always play with command normals like 360+attack too.

Are you sure about this? I can't get the left side version to work. No matter which direction I spin the stick in, I can either tap the button repeatedly to trigger the spins, or tap it once for a single swing.
This invisible treasure chest at the end of Chapter 15 is driving me crazy. You have to platform across huge pillars to collect all of the pieces. Anyone have any tips on how to do this? I struggle to reach the tallest pillars in the center courtyard, let alone do it in a time limit.

Jeanne is unbelievably sexy!
I just love using her and seeing that walk and tight red outfit.
I ended up buying most outfits for her rather than Bayonetta.

From the chest, panther run to the first archway, jump up onto the arch as Bayonetta to grab the first piece, platform to the next two pieces as Bayonetta, zigzag across to the right side as the crow, dodge to turn back into Bayonetta as you grab the fourth piece and land on the pillar, turn back into the crow to get the last piece.
It's tough.

That's the easiest way to make it happen because the enemy can't dodge, but it works outside of Witch Time too. The effect seems to activate after you've blasted the enemy with ice (by holding punch or kick) for long enough within a certain period of time. I haven't bothered to time this directly, but on Infinite Climax you need to blast bosses for roughly nine seconds, which is about three fully extended punches. This even works on the Platinum Ticket version of Rodin.
Ice Undine + Bracelet of Time = popsicle party.

Anyone got cinematics not completing at the beginning of Chapter V? It doesn't end for me and thus I can't proceed.
I did that with the robot. It has a gigantic shotgun on its foot, lol.
I actually got it after I made that post. Here's the approach I took:
Panther run up to first archway, grab first piece... jump to right pillar, leap to pillar in front with quick butterfly float, grab second piece... leap to pillar across courtyard to left, grab third piece... panther double-jump to distant pillar straight ahead, leap over to fourth piece... panther leap to pillar on opposite side of courtyard, grab fifth piece.
I had five seconds left on the clock, and I think I had to attempt the archway at the start twice, so I guess it's more forgiving than it seems at first.

I was just about to respond. Might as well post my post.
I don't know exactly how the pieces are laid out, so I might be wrong on the details, but here's what I remember doing:
1. Panther run to archway, wall jump onto archway (by jumping against it), jump to first pillar
2. Panther jump to second pillar
3. Double jump, fly with crow to third pillar
4. Jump, fly with crow to fourth pillar
Use the dodge button to cancel crow form and land on the pillars when you need to.
I just beat the game tonight and woo what an adventure it was. My only complaint is that the adventure was too short lol.
. I like this game better than the first because I find all the weapons really fun and none of the chapters really lasted way too long like the Skyscraper chapter in Bayonetta 1 and thank god they got rid of the stupid instant death QTE. Haven't tried the Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 but I felt the second game also has faster loading times than the one I played on PS3.
Ending spoiler
glad there apparently lost witch trial which I'll try tomorrow.
Ending spoiler
did the ending of this game basically just looped back to bayonetta 1 again?

Sai-Fung, Pillow Talk, Bazillions...
Hm maybe the input is different and I accidentally trigger it through spinning left? Maybe my descriptions was confusing, it's counterclockwise.
Edit: Okay the right input for the attack is <- -> P. Sorry for the misinformation.
Yeah...
