I've only played through the first three chapters, but the game is great so far. I find the cutscenes to be more irritating than funny, but whatever, I can skip through them; the combat is crazy and a total blast. Along with Batman: Arkhum Asylum (which I finished just a week ago), this is now one of the few games I can think of that really excites me when I realize that a major battle is about to start.

Less so if you actually play it like Space Harrier.

Someone needs to learn how to trigger witch time a hell of a lot more.
And, who the fuck bumped this thread making me think there was news on Bayonetta 2.
Lastly, for the dude who asked if you must like DMC, you can also be a fan of GoW or NG and still like this game.

Seriously, are you not an action game fan? Did you play/like DMC? I don't see how anyone can like that and not this unless they have some shallow reasons for it (like the main character being female).

Also it's a she.

What if you're playing that mode with no witch time? That was the first time I used items. Stupid shipsHYDE said:Someone needs to learn how to trigger witch time a hell of a lot more.

By my count this game should have ended 4 sequences ago
Finally.. wait no lol
That was indeed a ride, in the end all bitching and niggles aside I look forward to the sequel.
I have to say Bayonetta has surpassed MGS4 on the insanity chart.
And for the people who have a platinum trophy for this :lol
I would also love to see the mocap session videos :lol

From your posts, it would seem that you kind of suck at the game. Lower it to Easy and remove the Immortal Marionette accessory if you're really getting your ass kicked that hard. The reason people love this game is that you have total control of Bayo at all times, and anytime you die it's your fault and no one else's.
I've beaten the game on infinite climax, and the last boss really does suck. It's an annoying long sequence, full of bad camera and cheap ass moves. The game would have been better off leaving it out. The boss rush on the second to last level is also lame and no fun.Ledsen said:

Thank you very much, as my impressions were the same, until you figure out what needs to be done the game can be frustrating as all hell.
That said in the end I enjoyed it, I never understood why people feel the need to attack you because your opinion differs from theirs about a videogame.

I've gotten Pure Platinum on every Verse in the game and "cheap" is not how I would describe the last boss.
AWESOME is how I would describe it.
I swear, it's like you people expect games to do everything for you. You even have a lot of camera control in the boss fights. I don't ever recall having any issues with the camera, though. You want a game that has a shitty camera? Play any Ninja Gaiden game. The camera is fucking HORRIBLE in those games.

The "cheap" impression comes from things like the black hole attack. You have to die more than a few times before you understand how to escape it, and until then it gets really frustrating.
I also have a minor grip in the "wind level", when you have to jump from boulder to boulder, sometimes the "A" prompt doesn't appear when you need it, and you have to move around until it does.
But once you got this learnt, everything is fine.

Just wait until you get to the highest difficulty where you don't get witch time. That's when you know you're badass.Relix said:Got this thanks to Amazon deal...

Just got my $10 360 copy. woohoo!!
After purchasing Bayonetta at launch, I finally put some more time into it and finished it earlier in the week.
The gameplay is definitely it's strong point, but almost everything else was terrible. I hated the characters, the voice actors, the story, and the music was just awful.

The music was one of the best parts.
I thought the characters were pretty decent (Bayonetta was good, though), but the story was lacking. I usually watch the cutscenes in DMC1 or Viewtiful Joe, but not this game.

I just impulsively picked up this game from amazon for $10. Not really my style of game, but man I've heard so much talk about it that I just couldn't pass this up. I'll be playing this and FL:NV when I get back from traveling!

Seriously. Bayo is one of my top 3 soundstracks of this gen. So many great tracks. I think people get so clouded by the main theme that they can't remember how great some of the other tracks are.

yep - only soundtrack i got this year
...So, I just got this and played 2 hours.
Ridiculous (in a good way). I was playing it like a button masher at first, but dodging is really important. And I've started to memorize combos in order to really know what I'm doing. I only beat the first chapter but already replayed it twice :lol

I am getting really, really tired of "I don't get the love for this game."
NO SHIT.
VIDEO GAMES MUCH LIKE EVERY OTHER FORM OF SUBJECTIVE ENTERTAINMENT DO NOT CATER TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD YOU INCREDIBLE MORONS
Sometimes there will be games that appeal to wider audiences! Take a game like Uncharted 2, which is more or less agreed to be of an incredible quality, and there are still some detractors that honestly did not have fun with the game. They did not like the game very much based on their criteria for what is fun to them, just like they (and you) may like or dislike certain movies.
Sometimes you disagree with the popular opinion, sometimes you are one of the teeming masses who are part of it and the dissenters don't make sense to you!
The "I don't get the love for this game" thing is like saying "I don't like chicken, how the fuck do people like chicken?" IT'S FUCKING CHICKEN. Some people don't like it! That's totally fine! Stop questioning it as if everyone is in some sort of drug addled state when they form their opinions and you are our Tron.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't get the love for "I don't get the love for this game."

Not liking Bayonetta is an illness, and one in that state should seek immediate help from a doctor.

Even so, while I disliked it at first I quite dig this version of Fly Me To The Moon. Its super cheesy but tons of fun in the context of the game.
But yeah, most people I've heard complaining about the soundtrack seem to always pin it down to "shitty J-POP", when in reality a vast, vast majority of the OST is composed of orchestral scores.
The boss themes are divine.

The game is *great*, but...
Is the screen tearing really this bad? I started chapter 2 and it was really detracting from the experience. I only really noticed when walking around the town though.
God this story is laughable. It makes it somewhat embarrassing to recommend to friends without a strong caveat :lol

The story is poking fun on the genre though, making it awesome. On one hand you have someone who has anger issues and just has a single expression as if it was the 90's again, this one plays with the genre and fucks it hard while being classy.
