Balder would be better if you didn't have to fight him on small platforms.

If I remember correctly, once you beat the Beloved in the fountain, run back as far as you can in to the station and there should be a fight there

Yes, you can win with no items. Even if you turn the game off, if you select continue, you'll start right back at whatever phase of the fight you're on.Keikoku said:

I wonder if anyone's done the lost chapters without Pillow Talk and or Rodin's weapon yet. At first when I got Pillow Talk I thought it was quite meh but once I realized that it keeps the damage bonus after a charge, it immediately shot to the top of the list.

I 1000'd the game today and have been doing uni coursework but... all I want to do is play Bayonetta.
Next goal: Umbran Tears. So they are only hidden on the normal, hard and climax modes? They don't seem to be in the same locations though :-(

who thinks this will get quite a few game of the year awards for its genre? God of war is the same genre right?

I don't know about the other two, but there's no way DI it's going to be as good as Bayonetta going from the demo....

That strategy guide trailer is a thing of pure wonderment! As such, time for 2 gifs from it! Bayonetta combo gifs are the best gifs, and initially I tried turning that opening slog of super air combo time into one but it would only come out to a 13mb file :lol So heres the shorties:
Got to love the multi-directional Afterburner kick
Durga Fire Mine positioning and associated whips or throws into them just turn any enemy encounter into a bizarre sadistic sport :lol

I just started playing Zero seriously a few days ago. As long as you don't get hit, this guy's magic gains make it so that you are unstoppable. Especially once you get that Eternal Testimony accessory.
Still wonder about that "Coming Soon" in Rodin's Treasures for him though. I beat the game on normal with Zero, and still nothing there...
I know some people hated it but man, stage 14 had me grinning from ear to ear.
I heard there was some tribute to Space Harrier in the game but I didn't know that they went out of their way to recreate it. All my old Space Harrier tricks were working just fine and loved that they incorporated the dragon bosses and theme music into the mix. They really should get Platinum to make a remake of Space Harrier (with some minor tweaks to the controls).

Rosary, just dodge spam them to death with rosary bombs. You might get a crap combo score though.

Hair punch/kick.
They use up 3 pieces of magic to perform though.
There's also the crow and panther attacks that use up magic as well as the teleport ability.
Plus, while it doesn't use up magic, I'm pretty sure I've heard the Pillow Talk becomes more powerful with maxed magic.
The techniques are purchased from Rodin.

Technically GOW is Action/Adventure while Bayonetta is just Action.
I'm predicting they'll both be heavy contenders for Action Game of the year though.

There is actually an easy way to farm some halos.
Go to chapter 2, the train station. Jump on the platform above the train....destroy all the benches on top ( I think there are 10 on each side). After this is done hop on the train as it heads out. You get an easy 10K in halos for doing this. Hit chapter select and do again. Once you can transform into a panther you can do the whole segment in about 30 seconds...average about 10K a minute after you leave and reload the chapter.

I like Fortitudo and Sapientia's music
The more I play this the more I'm obsessed with it. Also, even though the story is extremely nonsensical I'm finding it endearing as hell. Especially
But yeah, GotY came early for me too.
every exchange between Bayonetta and Cereza. Children in games normally annoy the hell out of me, like Sunny in MGS4. But, Cereza is just way too cute.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
So my quick impressions (not that anyone cares at this point :lol). Playing the PS3-version!
Art direction is amazing
The music fits perfectly
Some of the bosses are great
Pacing is perfect
However there are some things I didn't like as much... (not going to mention the story, because who the hell cares?)
The framerate but I was well aware of this when I bought the PS3-version. Fortunately though, it's not as bad as some people say it is. It's certainly not game breaking, it's just very distracting at some parts.
People went bat-shit insane when they had to fight the same bosses over and over again... but I haven't heard anything like that from Bayonetta? You pretty much fight the same bosses four or five times during a playthrough which is pretty insane. I used the same tactics against them so there was nothing different about them (except maybe Climax in the end).
Kamiya promised us a sadistically hard game. We didn't get that at all... it was a breeze, even in Climax mode. I never did manage to beat God Hand on hard so I thought this would be the same.
I'd say the controls aren't as accurate as NG or DMC either. If this is because of the port, I understand but I never really got the 100% "feel" for it.
Other than that, it's a really good game and I can't wait for the next (hopefully) amazing sequel

"An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story that is driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical challenges such as combat."
"Action game is a video game genre that emphasizes physical challenges, including hand-eye coordination and reaction-time."
Despite having action as a large focus GOW still has less devotion to combat than DMC or NG and more emphasis on puzzles and level design.

What?
Fortitudo 2 was kinda similar the second time you fight him but mostly he lacked the ability to fly and had less moves. The third time was in the Space Harrier sequence.
Temprantia 2 always attacks at a distance and never grabbed on to the platform you were on giving you no opportunity to attack his hands, and you never run on his body either. You also fought him on a large bit of land instead of a small platform. The third time is during the Space Harrier sequence; the fourth is the shooter sequence.
Iustuia 2 is kinda the same but with more dodging space since you don't fight him on small platforms the second time, he also lacks many of his moves from the first fight. You don't fight him anymore after that.
Sapientia 2 has less moves, can only be attacked from the front, and is fought while trying to keep away from a growing fire. You don't fight him any more after that.
You fight Temprantia 4 times, Fortitudo 3, and the others only twice.
They all also have less health and take more damage.
