I quite like the Wii U Gamepad but couldn't resist grabbing a Wii U Pro Controller off Amazon just to have something I'm a bit more used to as far as form, especially for something like Bayonetta.
I also bought the Mayflash adapter with it. If the Pro controller is as amazing as everyone says it is, it'll replace the Dualshock 3 as my new PC gamepad.

Great move.
Yeah, Loki looks like a little piece of shit, I don't like him at all. I don't really like any of the characters in Bayonetta, though. Especially not-Joe Pesci. I skip the cutscenes, I really can't stand them.

If you want to follow the story, its the best move you could make.
It feels like a light 360 pad but with a decent D-pad, although the triggers do leave much to be desired :/

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
We can argue about button placement all day but the pro controller is the most comfortable controller I've ever used. The Dualshock 3 comparison really isn't fair.

It is my favourite. Battery life is ridiculously long. So light. Very comfy. I have an Xbox one and ps4 as well. And I love the Pro more than the ds4 and the one.
Seriously! This might be a Wolfenstein GOTY-beater.
By the by, is there a way to get Pro Controllers to work on PC?
I mean I'll probably grab one anyway, but it'd be kind of nice if I didn't have to go buy Xbox controllers again or something, especially since I don't actually have my 360 with me. (Left my controllers back home before I moved)

Dumb answer: yes

Apparently it's easier to get pure platinums in Bayonetta 2 because there's no longer a grade penalty for using items. From a gamefaqs thread.
I also read that Non-stop infinite climax keeps witch time instead of removing it, although this is apparently to compensate for faster enemies and bosses than Bayonetta 1.

There is indeed. It requires a little finagling or an adapter or something. Someone else probably knows more.

Yeah with the Mayflash Wireless Wii U Pro Controller Adapter for PC USB.

I'm about 3 hours in. Really enjoying it so far. It's very similar to the first game - just looks a bit nicer and runs better. It doesn't feel as fresh, as it's a sequel, obviously. Great deal getting both games for £40 though!
Also, the co-op mode is really fun. I suggest giving it a go!

Oh, I forgot... no preloading with Nintendo.
I bought the DMC HD Collection on Tuesday to prepare myself for this Friday. A good decision. The two games included are still excellent stylish brawlers, Capcom at the top of their game. Bayonetta is only better than DMC3 by a little, but it is still better. It was only £10 too, which helps.
I also bought a Wii U Pro Controller specifically for this game. I played some Hyrule Warriors with it. I now know that buying it was the right decision. Playing Bayo 1 and 2 with the Gamepad would have murdered my hands. It was only £12 too, which helps.
I can't sleep, and i need to. I have a meeting with the landlord in the morning, a court hearing (not criminal) in the afternoon, and a gym appointment in the evening. Fuck my life.

Dawg offset?
Yeah, Wolfy is still my #1 right now.
I see this topping it, though. Bayonetta 1 is one of my favorite games of all-time and every review I've seen/read has said this is better, specifically in pacing.
I don't even, I have to see this for myself!

Gah! I'm gonna try to resist buying a Wii U Pro Controller tomorrow. I'm so curious about that thing...
SSStylish!!!
Almost identical to 360.
Runs pretty much the same as 360 (45-60fps), without screen tearing and with better shadows.

There are a few changes from Bayo1 that probably make it a bit easier to platinum
Bayo 1
- 4 magic orbs lost on every hit.
- Score counter decreases 100% if combos are not completed after a certain amount of hits.
- Penalties for using any item during play.
Bayo 2
- No magic lost on hit.
- Score counter decreases by 50% if combos are not completed after a certain amount of hits
- No penalties for using items. (just a loss of halo bonus at the end, big deal)
- Enraged enemies are easier to hit.
Magic is harder to get in Bayonetta 2, though. You used to be able to just hold taunt and watch the bar fill up or just have a full 3 bars during that chapter 1 courtyard fight; well no more of that. Magic Gain is real stingy now, I guess to compensate for the no magic lost on hit thing and so you can actually use the Umbran Climax more often.
They buffed a few of the other moves, too. 360 moves are actually good now. The kicks are faster, have better more varied chains. Weapons in general are more unique compared to the army of gun combo animations the first game had. Whip is actually good now. Swords have faster charge times. No more instant-death QTEs, thank fuckin' God.

I think it's the way he keeps calling Bayonetta "Love". Gets on my nerves.

I bought one specifically for this game. It just seems like a game that would need it.
I need to get out of this thread before my hype turns into jealousy and I become a ridiculous asshole

Thanks for the info. Would you say Pulley's is more or less powerful for getting away with no damage in Bayo 2? Assuming you weren't using items.
The kilgore glitch is still in the first Bayonetta. Apparently left there intentionally.

Someone posted a really quick run down earlier in this thread. I will see if I can find it for you.

Wait, Bayonetta Bloody Fate is $3 on iTunes? This can't be right.
Edit: There are separate entries for the dub and sub, but it is indeed $3. Listed as a single episode in a TV season. Has to be a mistake so this'll probably get patched up soon.
