Even the PS3 version is worth 10 bucks and I'm sure you could find it for that. Then if you ever get a 360, you could buy the 360 version for another 10 bucks.

I double dipped and I'm currently playing the PS3 version. Save from a few spots where drops in framerate are really noticeable it's fine. Then again I'm not particularly sensitive to framerate issues. Then again Bayonetta on PS3 >>>>> no Bayonetta.

It's very hard to dodge (maybe even impossible) but with the Moon-of-Mahala Kalaa you can parry mid-air and are no longer stuck in their combo.

Wow, fancy seeing this here, I just started this game yesterday. It's amazing; I'm really enjoying it, and I couldn't stand DMC!! I'm terrible at these sorts of action games, which really makes me mad, because I really want to be good at them, maybe this will be the game that finally forces me to become decent. Anyway, i'm starting to get the hang of the combat, and I've moved beyond the button mashing phase, so that's progress. But the game is incredibly fun, and has a great aesthetic, I can't wait to go back and replay these stages over and over.

Every time I see this thread's been bumped I skip a beat thinking there might be Bayo2 news. 
Then again I'm sure that would warrant a new thread altogether... but still!

I haven't played the PS3 version other than the demo, so maybe after some patches (?) it's totally good now, but when I played the hell out of both demos it wasn't the framerate that I noticed so much as the total dullness of color.BaronLundi said:
The color in Bayonetta is outstanding, and the blacks are so freaking deep and vibrant because of it in a way I've never seen anything elsemovie or gameon my TV. The reds and purples pop off the screen and the game is just a joy to look at. That's what sold me on the 360 version. Though I am enjoying the game so much right now (until I got to the freeway, to which I say "nyeah") I might get the PS3 version too, not only to support Platinum and Bayonetta, but to chase that delicious platinum trophy.

Then don't play the 360 version of Bayo either, because that drops below 60 when things get busy too, just less often.subversus said:

Hey, I've been playing this quite a bit, and have a couple questions. I've heard that on the PS3 version, your combos are calculated incorrectly, and you actually end up getting much smaller combos than you would on the 360, can anyone confirm this? If so that sucks. Also, does anyone know of any Superplay videos for this game? I can't seem to find any on the google.

Not actually that important
Man, I really need another Kamiya joint in my life, quick
I deleted my install to play it off the disc but didn't notice much difference. All the tearing in the early chapters was still there, and then I got a disc read error even though I have installed every game I own on my 12 month old Xbox 360 so the Disc drive has barely been used. It read the disc fine after a restart, but I'm going to reinstall next time I play Bayonetta.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
how many more weeks is Kamiya going to troll us about Bayo 2 "in magazines this week". why is he doing this... it hurts...
CliffyB also talks a bit about Bayonetta in this studio tour: (~0:30)

I would like to see Mr. Clifford play Bayonetta. Don't know what to expect.
PS: I'm still hurt we didn't get any news during TGS.

Been on a bit of a Space Channel 5 kick recently and sent Mr. Kamiya this request:
Guess the dudes at Platinum wanted to get an Ulala outfit in the first game but were turned down. Big up to them for thinking of her, boo to Sega for not allowing it.

I'm one of those oddballs who vastly prefer the DS3 to the X360 controller. And I wanted to get back to the game to get better at it. And I did. That's about it.
Had I known for sure that there were reliable ways to plug a DS3 to an X360 I'd have done just that.

Heh, that really sucks if true. Hatsune Miku gets an Ulala outfit but Bayo doesn't?Box of Bunnies said:Been on a bit of a Space Channel 5 kick recently and sent Mr. Kamiya this request:

Yeah, I can kinda understand why they turned the idea down if it was for brand image reasons (though it's not like they use Ulala for much more than All-Stars appearances and cameos nowadays anyway), it's just a little disappointing because it's such a perfect fit otherwise.
I loved Bayonetta so much on the 360 I figured I'd double-dip and buy it for my preferred platform; see if it's tolerable enough to platinum.
I remember hearing something about the game being actually worse on PS3 if you install it? Am I remembering correctly? Wanted to make sure before I start playing and make a mistake. Anything else I should know about this yet-another-thing SEGA has ruined (Vanquish, Valkyria, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic, Phantasy Star)?

NO, it was the PS3 version that was supposedly worse, I would post several sources, but I'm out of town on vacation and doing this on my smartphone would be a chore. But I can recall it was mentioned not only on several gaming sites, but also in this very forum. Anyway, I still pop this game in from time to time, and hoping Bayonetta makes a cameo in Anarchy Reigns. The only Platinum title I have not played in is MadWorld and I should really break the shrink-wrap on it before Anarchy Reigns is released. But I digress.....

If you're talking about load times when installed vs not installed, you have no idea what you're talking about and everyone who says INSTALL IT ON PS3 FOR GOD'S SAKE! is correct.
If you misread everything and are telling us which version of the game is worse, you're goddamn right the PS3 version is worse.
Finished the game today, needless to say I was completely blown away. This is the most stylish and one of the best playing games I've played, I'd put it right up there with God hand in terms of awesomness.
The environments they created were amazing and the music went extremely well with it, loved the music overall all (as well as them picking Fly Me to the Moon as the main theme, one of my fave songs). Fighting while changing what you are standing on (walls etc) was quite the special feeling, especially during the last fight with Jeanne. The Jeanne fights were all fun as hell, don't think I've enjoyed mirrors fights this much since Jean VS Adel in God hand.
Loved the character designs, especially Bayonetta. The whole supermodel angle they went with her was such a great idea, especially the way it was pulled of (they incorporated it into her walk, moves, fights and cutscenes). Easily one of my most fave characters ever. Sepcial mention to the child version, kids aren't usually done well in games but they did great with her.
The gameplay was really tight, Devil May Cry but much better. Weapons were all good and fun, I expected lots of them (like a sword, guns, something Beowulf like etc) but didn't expect to end up fighting as an ice skating samurai sword user thhat can freeze enemies. The skates were a nice surprise, really liked how they animated her with them on. All the weaves and hair attacks were so memorable and badass, very unique idea.
Witch time felt like a great reward for dodging right, though in normal I did find the dodge pretty abusable.
I finished it on PS3 and didn't find the sklowdown distracting, I actually compleletly forgot to pay attention to the issue once I started playing it because of all the awesome lol.
I foresee countless replays of this gem in my future.

So what are the best halo farming methods?
I started a new game on PS3 the other day simply for trophies. On 360 I was able to purchase most items just by playing, but I don't think I want to spend another 60+ hours with the game again at this point so I'm looking for quick and easy unlocks.
Farming Temperentia seems like the easiest one I've encountered so far, but I'm curious if there's anything that yields a bigger gain

Temperantia is my favourite for farming too, since it can get you a decent amount of halos in a short time (on youtube videos, you can see people getting huge amounts of money from the dragon in the beginning, but you have to go through the first level each time). With the aggro-boosting item and using the panther transform to keep the combos count, it's a good source of income.
Another alternative is Lustitia, if you need a change.
Of course there is also the "killgore glitch" if you want to rake the halos agains any boss.
