Not surprising in the slightest, but apparently Bayonetta porn is available for sale in Japan. My question is: how are they allowed to sell this? Is the maker protected by some pervy parody law?
I'm surprised Luka is fucking Bayonetta in the ass, I would have expected it to happen the other way around.
Yea, I actually agree with this. They should have handed you the different weapons through the length of the game, especially the whip, ice skates, and rocket launchers, and kept the unlockables for the variations (handguns/shotguns/bazillions/pillowtalk), etc. A friend of mine who rented it isn't going to keep it because he just used the katana the entire time since it's the most powerful. The varied weapons would have made the game a lot more fun on the first playthrough.HYDE said:

best way to farm without the bracelet of time?

Or leave it how it is and have the replay ability shoot through the roof on subsequent playthroughs. I loved the feeling after my first playthrough that I didn't even scratch the surface of the weapons in the game.
Not the best since some people are getting 10mil in under a minute, but an easy and not overly cheap way (at least as far as farming go) -chaoticprout said:
Chapter 7, durga lightning on arms, just spam punch over and over again.
Try to keep the combo going as long as you can, I don't think you can keep one long combo on that fight, but if you work fast and keep spamming punch (and shot your pistols when there is nothing to punch) you should get at least a couple of really long combos.
If you have Gaze of Despair put it on as it will increase your combo total (I think).
Without trying too hard (I'm not really into farming) I can do around a mil in that chapter on normal (didn't try it on harder difficulties).
Bracelet of time is not all that important, hits in witch time worth a bit more, but that's about it (and if you're good at dodging and have Selena's Light on, you're going to be in witch time for much of that fight anyway).

Well then unlock the lost chapter and have fun, that's all you do there.
Made some decent progress tonight. Finally bumped myself from Chapter 3 (been replaying 1-3 for practice, halos, etc.) up to Chapter 6. Trying my best to get every single heart, pearl, and Aflheim portal done in my first pass. Some of these challenges are damn hard though, even on normal. So far so good, however.
Can't believe how much I'm loving the game. Though I'm pretty crappy at it.

you unlock the Bracelet of Time, which allows you to trigger Witch-Time whenever you press LB, but it drains magic and disables the normal dodge triggering of Witch-Time.Daigoro said:
I rented this game recently, and am seriously considering purchasing it despite the fact that I finished it entirely within the rental period -- something I don't think I've ever done before with any game. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface and basically just brute-forced my way through the entire game, never buying more than a couple moves and trinkets. Just reading some of the comments in this thread and realizing that none of them even make any sense to me, I'm thinking I've barely scratched the surface of this game.
Are there any good deals to be had on Bayonetta? Anything as good or close to EBGames' $44.99 USED price? This is one of the only times I've ever felt bad about purchasing a used title -- Platinum deserves all the sales they can get, but there aren't any retailers willing to go below the $60 pricetag.
I'd also like to pick up a strategy guide -- any recommendations? It looks like only Future published a guide in the US, and I'm almost tempted to buy the hardcover version that comes out in a week or so. Maybe I should skip the guide and buy a full-priced retail copy, but it's so nice having a book to look through rather than sifting through forum posts and plain-text FAQs.

Do I need to finish the chapter or just beat the Alfhiem's? I want to speed rush the Alf's and just quit out after I'm done beating the last one in a chapter.
Hell bent on getting 1000/1000 on this.
I have to play through with Jeanne to get the last one eh? that's kinda weak.

Chapter 11 Help Request: There's this bridge that you have to hit a bunch of times to lay out but it retracts instantly. There are some statues in the back and I figure I need to use it to go into witch time to run back to the bridge and have time to cross it, but once I get to the bridge and start hitting it, my witch time has already worn off. How in the fuck do I cross this bridge it's been annoying the shit out of me.

Man I bought Bayonetta today because I fucking wanted to.
I can't remember the last time such a pure discovery > purchase > pure gameplay bliss happened, though it was probably Bioshock.
Most game purchases these days are bought aboard the hype train express, but lately I've not been on GAF or enthusiast sites nearly as much as I used to, and I'm discovering games purely from word of mouth and fun demos.
I highly suggest toning down your GAF and 1up consumption because it greatly enhances your enjoyment of the medium when you don't have 1,000 other opinions and hypepasta floating around your skull when you play a new game.

Any chapter that is over ten minutes long (and that isn't chapter 8 or 14), you can shave. Just remember to panther through between mandatory verses as fast as you can, because the clock doesn't stop between verses.
One trick that I discovered you can use on Chapter 3 for a massive time saving: the part underground where the rocks fall and smash the bridge, forcing you to go through the portal to Paradiso for the hourglass is completely unnecessary if you have Crow Form unlocked. It might take a few tries, but you can panther jump and fly across the gap without being knocked down by lava, and continue the level without using the Paradiso portal at all.

you don't need to do that. during the last chapter you will get the opportunity to do that without having to actuallyUltimo hombre said:
unlock Jeanne. You play as Jeanne during the beginning of the Epilogue.
Interesting tidbit: I was trying to figure out how to do the different short taunts (
). I've heard Bayonetta say the 'halo' line exactly once, so I assumed it was just super rare. But when
during chapter 14, I found she consistently said
at one point, and then always used
a few minutes later. I figured there must be a trick to it that I wasn't getting. So I just googled it, and apparently the short taunts are weapon specific. That's just going by a single post in another forum so it's uncorroborated, but I'm looking forward to trying it out next time I play. Can anyone here verify this? And are there more than two short taunts per character?
"Do you want to touch me?" vs "Your halo is mine"
using Jeanne
"Bitch, please"
"You motherfucker!"

A bit of warning about the PS3 release of Bayonetta. Originally i thought i wouldn't be put off by the load times (mentioned in all the reviews) because i put up with some crazy a$$ load times from games like Legacy of Kain and still managed to enjoy every minute of it. But the load times between levels isn't the biggest issue in Bayonetta.
The biggest issue is the load times in-between the time you die and the time you start again. If you come across a difficult patch in the game and keep dying over and over, ur going to be waiting a long time because the load times are ridiculous here. I can put up with load times between levels because its not very often you go to the next level but the load times between the time you die and time you start again just kills it for me. It's still a great game for the PS3 but the load times are very very annoying.
Regarding the actual gameplay, i haven't noticed any significant slow down even when there's lot of crazy things happening on screen. So i think there's no worries here in this department. It's the load times that are killer.
p.s. the boss fights in this game are ridiculously imaginative and insane

A funny thing in this chapter that I wouldn't have noticed without the comments on the developer's blog :
Sapientia's wings are shaped like motorbike handles... which explains all the "grab it by the wings, drive it to the spider monster" part.
