They are at least twice as many smaller humanoid ones. Those are everybody's favorites in these kinda games so yay

Bayonetta 2 |OT| The time has come, and so have Wii!
- Thread starter Nemesis_
- Start date
Yeah, when I first bought my PS2, all I got with it was Zone of the Enders (for the MGS2 demo) and a pre-order on DMC.
So, DMC was the first great PS2 game I really played. It really sticks with me. I had no idea who Hideki Kamiya or anyone was, back then, but I knew it was a game that I needed to play.

I know you are a new Wii U owner, but def check out Wonderful 101 as well. Cause holy shit at that game too. What blows my mind is people say Bayonetta 2 is even crazier and my mind just goes.

Going to be playing Bayonetta 1 and 2 for the first time with this package. I tried a bit of the demo and loved it.

I'm going to be staring out my window for the UPS guy all day.
Then I have to pick up Bayonetta 2 and a Pro Controller from Gamestop.
Then you're gonna have to update your Wii U, so you might as well go see John Wick or maybe lead an expedition up Mt. Everest or some shit and come back later.

Doesn't Bayo(2) have on disc systewm update? Otherwise he could buy Mario Kart 8 for updating =P

Awesomeness(TM) the game!
People make it seems bigger than it actually is.
Just start the update as soon as you get your console, then proceed to go buy Bayo 2+Pro Controller and it should be fine when you'll be back.
Unless things changed...

I got my copy and a Pro controller
Music to my ears.
I'm also quite curious to try out the co-op mode. Could be a lot of fun if latency issues are kept to a minimum.
The system update should be on the disk. Don't connect the system to the internet until after you ran Bayonetta 2 once, I think that should do the trick.

They're playing Bayonetta.
Haha, bastards.
The chapter in the ancient civilization, at one point you go back to The Paradise version of the mountain city via a portal, and the little buildings in the background are very crudely made.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I agree.
I have no TV, so yeah.
Try normal.
You don't get locked into a difficulty in Bayonetta btw. You can change it before you start a stage so if you want to make it easier you can without restarting the game.
Another reason to play normal is that you unlock a secret weapon by finishing 100 stages in the game. Finishing stages on easy doesn't count towards this iirc.
Best fucking news I've heard about this game. Nemesis fights are all that matter.

Nintendo just uploaded a video explaining how to get the special deal buying from eShop.

Hes right. Setting that shit up takes hours. No joke.
Yes and sorta. Bayo 1 is about 10-15 hours, plus obviously insane amounts of replayability.
Crank through Bayo 1 on Normal and you can probably start Bayo 2 on Hard.

Haha, didn't know you were in CO. I'm going down to Colorado Springs today to do the cog rail thing. Maybe we should meet up sometime for Smash if you're into that!

My copies are ready for pickup, but, alas, I am not ready to pick them up yet.
Thankfully, my friends are at work and their copies are being held with mine anyway, so at least I'm not suffering alone.

I've played Bayonetta 1 awhile ago to completion, is there a good source to refresh my memory of the story?

It conveys a little more than 'character action' at least. That truly does tell you nothing.
"Character Action" tells you about as much as "Role Playing Game".
Genre naming conventions are all really out of whack. I prefer Stylish Action myself, but Character Action seems to have taken off.
Anyways, my copy is en route! If only I had a Wii U.

They are the predominant boss fight in Bayonetta 2. In fact there's only a handful of giant boss fights, and they are not like the ones in the first.
In fact to carry on to some larger spoilery thourghts having finished playthrough one
The game is a lot less "insane" than Bayonetta 1. Or maybe it's not and the first had the element of surprise. Now we know Platinum's style. But yeah you can only really do stripper fighting moves, lipstick bullets and punching God in to the sun once.So to make up for it the fighting is tighter, meaner and nastier over all The weapons are more varied. The combat is more demanding I feel this time.
Part of the change in scale is the seriousness with which they are taking the game's mythology. All the giant bosses in Bayo 1 got dragged to hell. So they're dead. Gone. And they were implied to be the top top top of Paradiso's army. So anyone else would, naturally, be lesser.

8-16 hours depending on skill level. Similar to Bayo 2 really. But! The story in 1 is complete nonsense. And then two does a load of cool stuff with that nonsense that, while still being nonsense, is actually quite interesting nonsense now.
Bayonetta 2 is DEFINITELY improved by having played Bayonetta 1. By far.
To say anything else would be a spoiler.
It should be fine I think, I played the whole of WW HD off TV and it's surprising how immersed you can get in a game, so much so that you forget that you're playing on a 6 inch screen. Wonder how the Gamepad controls feel tho, I think I may just hook the Wii U up in the spare room so I can use the Pro Controller.

If I select 3rd climax, will I unlock anything from lower difficulties upon completion?
Yeah I played all of w101 off-tv too and didn't have problems there, shouldn't be an issue.
