Just experimented a bit with the combo system and I'm trying to figure out how to reset the 'diminishing returns'.

I had a post earlier in the thread where I called the music atrocious after playing the demo. After putting more time into the game, the music doesn't bother nearly much as I thought it would, if at all. I even found myself humming along to the Fly Me to the Moon remix every once in a while.
Almost finished my first run of the PS3 version. The load times are annoying, but the gameplay is fully intact...don't let it dissuade you from picking up this gem. It is epic beyond belief, and pwns every other action game out there right now. Best boss fights I've ever seen, and I feel like I've only scratched the surface with the moves as i haven't unlocked many weapons. Wow...just....wow. I had so many jaw-dropping moments.

the music is fantastic. the 'fly me to the moon' brings back memories of Evangelion 
yeah its by far the dumbest programming technique they used. what game loads that long in between the time you die and start again? its not like the game has to re-load a completely new map or area. ur reloading the same godamn area where you just died shouldn't they already have that in memory already or something? argh

good to know.
I downloaded both versions and compared.
- 360 version has much better graphic, but the controller feels awkward, the R1 button and the attack button are too close for comfort.
- PS3 version has washed-out color and not as sharp, though not nearly as bad as what others have described here. But the controller feels just perfect.
So I'm still debating which one to get
The demo on the PS3 doesn't show you alot of the annoying loading times during general gameplay. Stuff that loads instantly on the 360 like the equip/item menu had load times or lag on the PS3. Even going to the shop on the PS3 takes a while to load up.canova said:

i second that. if i had the 360 i would def. get that version. the worst part of the ps3 version is the load times after you die. so if u get to a hard part in the game where you die a lot, u'll have to do lot of waiting. it's really aggravating. its only because the game is so good that i keep on playing. if it was just an average game i would've traded in the ps3 port right away.
Just jumping in to to say that the PS3-version is amazing as well. Normally hate the over-the-top Japanese stuff, but the gameplay of Bayonetta is just way too good to be bothered by this. This plays ridicolously good, has a nice learning curve and is hardcore and accessible at the same time.

ok, can I re-arrange my button configuration in 360? because I definitely want to configure the aim and the attack buttons

People who make statements like "the story didnt make sense" without watching the entire story is a ****in idiot.
These are the same types that judge an entire game based off the 9 month demo.

I will argue that there are 2 plotpoints that make little sense probably on purpose (
) but yeah not understanding the first cutscene is a sort of eyebrow raise at someones ability to follow words and pictures on the screen. Bayonetta poses as a nun at a funeral to attract angels so she can kill them, and Rodin was also there as bait. Its not Metal Gear, but it gets there later on!
TIME TRAVEL CHILD KIDNAP JUST BECAUSE and Jeanne puts Bayonetta into a gem for safekeeping displayed in very gritty short sequence to explain what the stabbing was all about or was that not it?

i found the story to make much more sense later in the game. if you can deal with the somewhat long and confusing cutscenes in the beginning then i would watch them. at least they are entertaining.
LiK said:
True, but learning the various weapons and techniques needs to be gradual for that first run-through. I would have been completely overwhelmed, otherwise. Besides, going back to earlier stages with new weapons and powers, and securing platinums and pure plats is very satisfying.
Think I'm going to farm some halos and purchase the Crow Within and Bat Within powers before moving on. They look like they're LOTS of fun, and promise to mix things up nicely.
Yeah, seeing him use the Home Run God roulette move was great, and that's what made me think he would be perfect for a God Hand style game. Rodin's whole character design kind of reminded me of God Hand. He looks like he would fit right in with the Four Devas.LiK said:You saw the God Hand reference in the opening cutscene riiight?

I don't think it's too bad. It definetly isn't nearly as bad as that horrible Powerman 5000 sounding song that would play in every fight in DMC3. Actually I find it really annoying when they use a song with vocals repeatedly in any game. I think vocals really become grating when the song is played over and over and over.

You need to purchase the alternative set from Rodin's shop.

Loving the music and the main titles. Even moreso because of the singer who I think is fitting the game nicely. I stumbled upon her at a restaurant. Meant to ask her if she was the one whispering "Bayonnetta" on the title screen or some other bullshit to engage conversation but it was my girlfriend's birthday so um... yeah... I didn't.

Thanks! I might as well finish off the chapters also that way I can build upto 100 chapters played and make Rodin my bitch.

Actually I didn't so thanks for the info. Anyway she was with a guy and me with my girlfriend so whatever deliberate strategy (strike that : "elaborate phantasy" would be more truthful) I had in mind was pretty much doomed from the start. So sadly no discussion about her favorite setup and accessories for infinite climax occured outside my head but my field of vision allowed for some nice perusing of her back parts and all was not lost.

Man oh man, that Space Harrier level really makes me pine for an XBLA / PSN release of Planet Harriers.

Yup, but I heard this whole series (short porn movies made by women not in the business) is pretty crappy. She modeled for a recent playboy as well I think. Anyway she looks drop dead gorgeous in reality, especially for a 40 year old.
On topic : game is truly awesome, I haven't enjoyed an action game as much since God Hand which I still replay regularly to this day (although I suck at both).
I'm not getting the hang of the dodge offset at all though. Any pointers to train ? Do you have to release the dodge button and the P or K button you held at the same time before resuming the combo ?

when i see reviews slamming the music..... makes me think that half of the reviewers just listened to O.A.R. on their Ipods after the first level thinking all they were going to hear was super happy fun time.
