Okay, so he's taking score penalty into account, whereas I do not on my list. I thought he was purely talking about score.

Edit: Used the GOD today on Temperantia. My score went from a Gold on NSIC to a Platinum without doing anything differently.

Can you believe I've logged in 100 hours and haven't bothered unlocking angel slayer? Time to get it done.

Glad you're enjoying the game. My guide might help if you want some more of those sorts of tips:

The PS3 version's biggest issue (the crazy loading) was fixed, but it's still very flawed. The port has way too many frequent framerate and slowdown issues for a game as fast as Bayonetta, so unless you really hate the 360 controller, go with that version. Even if you do hate the 360 controller, just remember that everyone who worked on the game did so with the 360 controller in mind, and it really works perfectly for the game (from my experience in trying it after playing the PS3 version for eighty hours, it's not a hard transition to make, and I don't own a 360).

I have such a weird relationship with Bayonetta, it is probably going to be one of my favorite games of this console generation but I find myself not playing it as regularly as I feel I should be. It's so intense that if I'm not in the right mood to play it I play something that I can play more leisurely like FIFA.
Oh and I have no idea what the story is about and I am usually a person that tries to follow the story at least a bit. Like in JRPG's I'm usually at least like "Oh some kid with a bear as his friend is trying to save the world with the moon's power, ok thats insane but at least I can follow whats happening" with Bayonetta I honestly have absolutely no clue who I'm fighting or what their relationship is to me is but damn if it isn't fun to play.

I got the Climax Brace and started going after the Immortal Marionette(for completion's sake).
God is it boring. Though since I'm using the Climax Brace too I can also go for the Bangle of Time.

I don't think you can get the Bracelet on an easy mode.

Ok, I started this yesterday and I'm having a blast. I've just hit chapter VII and for every chapter after the first two I've been getting stone medals every time. Do I suck or is it because of the lack of health/equipment etc? Every time I come across Grace & Glory I die a bunch of times and come back and clean house taking very little damage.
Just wondering, what do the weapon upgrades from the Gates of Hell add exactly? So far I can see the shotguns and Durga.
And did Bayonetta say Henshin-A-Go-Go-Baby in chapter III? :lol

Good lord, this has to be a bonus in Bayonetta 2!palpabl_purpura said:
Don't aim for good awards on your first playthrough; treat it as the run for unlocking stuff, seeing all the cool sights, and getting familiar with level layouts and enemy patterns. (If you want to replay a chapter before you've completed all of them, you can do so from the pre-chapter screen by pressing RB/R1 and selecting the appropriate sub-menu.)toasty_T said:
The upgrades you referred to are actually duplicate sets of weapons that allow you to equip a weapon type to Bayonetta's hands and feet at the same time, as you can already do with Scarborough Fair (your pink pistols).

Unless you wanna cheat, you have to beat NSIC mode to get the Pillow Talk.
I played about two hours tonight and lost on what I think was that chapter's final boss, only to have my controller spazz out and I end up not hitting continue. Do I really have to do the whole fucking chapter over again? Because if I do I'm probably not going to ever play this game again. I was having fun, too, but FFS I don't have time to redo the entire fucking chapter when I have a whole stack of games I could be playing.

Think about it this way:
You can put the whole game in under 3 hours.
It really won't take that long to finish a chapter.
BeautifulMemory said:
To be fair, that completion time is calculated based on the sum of the completion time of each verse, so with cutscenes and between-verse exploration, it's more than 3 hours.
That said, I suspect you will go through that chapter much faster the second time through, since you'll know where to go and you'll probably die less.

Go back to the title screen and select the Continue option. You should start at the last mid-chapter checkpoint you cleared.VsRobot said:I played about two hours tonight and lost on what I think was that chapter's final boss, only to have my controller spazz out and I end up not hitting continue.

Wow, I finished this in a couple of days. I can't remember the last game that had time flying by so fast. Game of the forever.
I'm still in a state of shock and awe-some. The last three chapters were absolute lunacy.
Still laughing at the final boss

Does anyone know if you purchase the last 3 weapons from the phone booths does it count towards the trophy for getting all LP's?

just played this again for the first time in a couple of months.
I was instantly reminded why this game is so damn good. The controls are just perfect; I started playing again without feeling like I'd suddenly forgotten how to play. Absolutely fucking flawless. The movement, the attack animations, the weapon variety, the GODLY dodge button -- everything about how my button presses are interpreted on screen.
Best game on the 360 or the PS3. I forgot how great this thing is, and given the amount of time I've had to stew on this and get some perspective, I'm fairly confident in getting all lovey dovey with it. It's so good to play the real deal again following Dante's Inferno and other games of the sort. Amazing. Just great. GREAT. All games should feel this good to just sit down and play. What a game's game.

Yes, yes yes yes yes. The perfect way to put it. This game is built how I believe all games should be built. Flawless controls that match absolutely perfectly to the character's animation, and built for replay value like few other games even consider trying. One of the few "DO NOT SELL EVER" games from this generation so far. I can only dream that we get a sequel as good as this game from Kamiya himself, and not a hack job from some other dev team.

I had the same experience last night. I played through a single level on an impulse and fucking DESTROYED. Mahaa-Kalaa blocking left and right, dodge offsetting, flawless verse-spanning combos. The only games I'd touched in the last month were Schizoid and Geometry Wars 2. It was unreal.Rez said:

I've started playing this again after putting it down for whatever reason in january.
Awesome awesome game, but what's with all the bullshit stages??
Why even put these crappy stages in? It feels half assed and even diminished the high quality of the rest of the game a bit.
Also I know that probably many many people have complained about this already, but it just pisses me off right now.

Route 666 - Mediocre at best, but at least it was fun
Shooter Stage - Horrible
Turret in the tower stage - WTF, this is much worse than in Dead Space. How can I even dodge the fucking laser? It even hits me behind a wall in the building... rage

You can dodge even if you're in the turret. I pretty much agree on the other two, though - I didn't think they were too bad, but they felt under-developed and entirely uneccessary to me. Their flaws definitely stand out more because the rest of the game is brilliant.schennmu said:

I will try it again tonight, but the ridiculous damage from the laser made me rage quit yesterday.
Still an amazing game. Especially the graphics are one of a kind. The game has a very unique and clean look to it (360 at least) which I love.
I guess there is a lot of stuff left to do after one playthrough, so I will never trade this game in. And I can not really say that I've mastered the combat either.

Don't get your hopes up.
It could be that I just have terrible timing for that attack but I've never dodged it(it helps that I avoid Tower to Truth like the plague).

Oh it's very possible, and I dodged it more than a couple of times on Infinite Climax.
Been waiting for this thread to pop back on the front page...so I have done a normal run and currently finishing the pearl/heart/alfhiem run. (think I missed a heart since I have 3/4 is there a way to verify I have all the pearls/hearts? I am on the
)
Anyhow I like the game a lot...my only complaints are Bayonetta's voice is a little too deep, the music when fighting is terrible and the hidden stuff is impossible to find without a guide so what is the point in hiding it in the first place?
rocket as Jeanne and am about to get the last Alfhiem.

So the loading problem in the PS3 version has been fixed, but judging from this page the frame rate one hasn't. My question is, has it at least been improved?
I also remember comparison pics where textures on the PS3 one were lower quality, and colors looked off, not as good as the 360 version. What about those problems?
I'll eventually play this game, but I'm deciding between buying it now on PS3 or getting it later whenever I own a 360 or Microsoft's BC-capable next-gen console.

Rez said:
Yes. I was kicking as much ass as I was after a month of not playing.
Question. Can you unlock a battle arena mode where you just fight enemies? The game would be perfect if that was included.

The framerate is still the same but it's not bad enough to kill your fun. Just never try the 360 version. :lol
