This game is TOO fucking good

It's the best game i've played in a longass time.

 

[Adaren]

Just picked up my preorder. Hyped as hell.

2 is a prequel though anyway right?

Nope. Sequel.

 

[Hagi]

Not sure how I feel about the bow right now, not really gelling with it.

 

[Grisby]

I'm not too good with the

bow

but I'm digging the

flamethrower.

Bayonetta is such a character. Damn, I love her freaking smirk. The new guy is well, he's there so to speak.

Game seems like it's moving along at a fair clip. Out of curiosity sake, how many chapters are there?

 

[Coda]

So I got the golden LP for the kafka weapon but it won't show up after I gave it to Rodin. All the other weapons have showed up. Think it's a glitch? When I got the LP initially I hit A really fast by accident so I'm wondering if that screwed something up.

 

[antitrop]

EDIT : Just realized this was discussed on the previous page. Think I'm just gonna hop into 2. Don't remember a ton about 1's story but hopefully it'll come back to me.

I guess really the only important thing to take away from Bayonetta 1 is what happens between Bayonetta and

.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'm playing the first one for the first time and it's not really good.

It's fucking awesome.

Oh man. You think the first one is good you're in for something amazing with bayonetta 2.

 

[Raxus]

I suppose it would be interesting to go back and play 1 as a "prequel" of sorts after 2, but I think the gameplay improvements in 2 would make going backwards a tougher pill to swallow.

Make no mistake Bayo 1 is still the very solid foundation Bayonetta 2 was built on. The segments that drag the game down are *MINOR BAYO 1 SPOILERS!*

Spoiler

the bike segments and the missile segment that you have to run through to get to one of the best boss fights in the game.

Other than that it still holds up very well.

 

[antitrop]

Not sure how I feel about the bow right now, not really gelling with it.

The Giant Bomb QL made it seem pretty situational. They mentioned a specific boss that went in one ear and out the other that it was useful for.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Oh man. You think the first one is good you're in for something amazing with bayonetta 2.

It's bugging the shit out of me that so many are playing the sequel and I could be but I don't know, I have to play at least a good amount of the first one first.

You mean the Bow? If so, it´s already in your inventory. No need to purchase

Finished Chapter 4, this is serious GotY material

I'm surprised Giant Bomb figured out the controls to this game.

Anyway I'm so early but if this keeps up at this pace or gets better (from ch 3) then GOTY is a wrap. Do we beat the game to get the costumes?

 

[Bronetta]

Not sure how I feel about the bow right now, not really gelling with it.

You do know that it poisons and weakens enemies right? Combine it with other weapons.

 

[V_Arnold]

No point in coming to a game's OT if you are afraid of spoilers. The game is out now.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Easter egg spoilers

Spoiler

what chapter is the star fox section in? I need to know when to wear my costume.

 

[TEJ]

It's bugging the shit out of me that so many are playing the sequel and I could be but I don't know, I have to play at least a good amount of the first one first.

trust me when I say that both are worth playing. You'll get more out of the second game after finishing the first.

 

[Bronetta]

That's not how things work. You think everyone plays at your pace or speedruns?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Man, I forgot how A+++ Bayonetta's voice actress is. Makes all the nonsensical cutscenes worth it.

 

[antitrop]

I'm surprised Giant Bomb figured out the controls to this game.

I have absolutely no idea who either of the guys doing the QL were, I haven't payed much attention to what's been going on over there in the last year or so.

Gerstmann said he wanted to give the game some time and I thought it'd be him but it wasn't :[

 

[hughesta]

Just started, got Gold on the Prologue on 3rd Climax. Feels good man

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Was there a pre-order bonus through Amazon?

 

[Coda]

Ahh cool, just figured you also had to buy every weapon you acquire.

 

[impact]

k I already reached the point where I think I'm gonna skip every cutscene. They're really just a waste of time.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Goodbye guys..

 

[Hagi]

The Giant Bomb QL made it seem pretty situational. They mentioned a specific boss that went in one ear and out the other that it was useful for.

Yeah I'm gonna keep practicing with it and see and see what Angels it works best against.

You do know that it poisons and weakens enemies right? Combine it with other weapons.

I didn't even notice that it weakens enemies cool.

 

[Andrew.]

I'm surprised Giant Bomb figured out the controls to this game.

Ryckert's got skill. He's already beaten it a few times and says he's going to complete everything in it.

 

[Hagi]

Ahh cool, just figured you also had to buy every weapon you acquire.

You only have to buy weapons to get them on your feet.

 

[Niteandgrey]

Just picked up the game, is it good fun even on the gamepad?

Forgot to pick up the Pro Controller :/

It's subjective of course but I played it for about an hour with the Wii U controller and found it to be quite playable. That being said I did switch over to the Pro controller after that and prefer the latter.

But imho you definitely don't NEED a Pro controller to enjoy the game immensely. Just makes it a little easier on the hands for an extended play session.

I have teeny tiny hands and basically completed the game in one long session (not done that since resident evil 4!). This was on the basic WiiU gamepad and I was perfectly comfortable. So it's certainly doable. If you have wee babby hands like me. Stopped before the last couple of chapters to get some sleep.

 

[Niteandgrey]

Mine didn't come from amazon yet either . Tracking says "out for delievery" and will be here by today at 8pm so I'm hoping some truck will pull up soon.
I have a party to go to at 9 pm though

Bayonetta 2 > Friends

 

[Akibared]

This game has no fucking manual. Bullshit.

GOTY 10/10 my ass

Totally returning this turd of a title.

Biggest disappointment of 2014.

 

[K-A-Deman]

How do you unlock the Nintendo costumes here? is there something I need to buy in the store first?

 

[CaptainGyro]

Bayonetta 2 > Friends

If I get it today I probably won;t even feel like going

 

[antitrop]

k I already reached the point where I think I'm gonna skip every cutscene. They're really just a waste of time.

Took less than a few hours in Bayonetta 1, for me.

I'll see how long I can hold out for 2, but I bet the first time Loki shows up I'll be scrambling for the Start button... Love.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

How do you unlock the Nintendo costumes here? is there something I need to buy in the store first?

They're already unlocked I thought.

 

[Bronetta]

Guys I'm home. Its in my hands. ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!

Haven't even opened the game yet and already I'm

 

[protomouse]

Aww yiss, got mine! Damn Germany though.

 

[impact]

They're already unlocked I thought.

I thought I read that was for Bayo 1 only?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I thought I read that was for Bayo 1 only?

That could be, not sure now.

I think you have to buy them in 2 now that I remember the Giant Bomb Quick Look.

 

[K-A-Deman]

They're already unlocked I thought.

Can't seem to select them if that's the case.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

On Chapter 11, this is the best game ever

 

[Andrew.]

The Ninty costumes are Bayo 1 only

Bayo 2 has its own special costumes

 

[Vazra]

The Ninty costumes are Bayo 1 only

There is footage of it on Bayo 2 or my eyes deceived me.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

The Ninty costumes are Bayo 1 only

Bayo 2 has its own special costumes

They're in 2 as well

 

[Grisby]

So does Tag Climax earn you halos for SP mode at all? Might try it tonight.

 

[Haloid1177]

So I haven't played this yet, is there a steep learning curve? Trying to gauge what difficulty to start on. Not my typical genre but reviews and supporting the Wii U swayed me.

 

[Akibared]

I think I see the Metroid alt in 2 I just don't have enough to buy it yet.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

So does Tag Climax earn you halos for SP mode at all? Might try it tonight.

Yes, you can earn halos for single player through the co-op mode.
