Found this on lunch today at Best Buy and happily bought it. First time I've ever gotten a game early. Cool.

Given up trying to find it, so I put a pre-order down at Gamestop
When's the official release date? Since so many stores got it early, I assume it's not going to be shipped -> released like every other game and will just have a Tuesday street date release.

Jan 5 in the States, Jan 8 in Europe. Australia gets it at some point in between. I expect retailers will sell it as soon as they get it.

Retailers are selling it too in Spain, Sega really dropped the ball here, but maybe is not that a bad thing, broking the street date in the middle of Christmas....
For my part, I have the game pre-ordered on Play.com, I wish they could release it earlier too... :lol

I can't wait for GameTrailers' review for this.
I have also given up trying to get it early.

Bayonetta on 360 and Darksiders on PS3, both come out on the same day, both already paid for... which to play first? Can I possibly be bothered to tear myself away from Demon's Souls?
Let's watch...

I'd play Darksiders. It might be hard to get yourself pumped up for it if you play Bayonetta first, whereas Bayonetta is going to be one of those games that people are going to go bananas for, so the excitement will still be here waiting for you when you're done with Darksiders.

Is there a guide for all the collectible stuff (Alfheims, LPs etc.) available?
I have already planned out the next THREE playthroughs. :lol
First I'll get all collectibles, then I'll do an all-platinum run on normal and then I'll tackle hard mode.
Did I mention that Bayonetta is my GOTY?

I couldn't find it when making the OP.
I'll be able to get a copy by the fifth, depends on when a local place gets their stock in. =p

Let me tell you something. This commercial (and the longer one) has cost the game over 5 pre-orders at my store. The only five pre-orders we managed to get people to do. As such, this commercial sucks.
Out of all the crazy shit you can do in the game, they slow everything down to this nonsense? Retarded marketing. They would be better off using the JP commercial wih english VO.

Has the bullshit in the Team Xbox review been discussed in here? Search thread isn't working for me.
Bayonetta is more like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry doesn't have nuanced control? :lol Only the most extreme Ninja Gaiden fanboy/DMC hater would make such a claim, given how similar Bayonetta is to Devil May Cry and given who created both games. But Arthur has established himself as exactly that on the Rebel FM podcasts this year. He even claimed that Capcom would be disappointed with the sales of DMC 4, even though at 2.4 million it sold more than any of the three previous games in the series, and did better than Ninja Gaiden 2/Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Describe the situation for me. Someone is at your store, ready to pre-order, credit card is totes out of the wallet, they see that, and then what happens?

I just noticed a nice little touch with one of the bosses.
Normally when using the beast within, the flowers it leaves behind appear wilted and black. But if you use it when running on one of Iustia's tentacles they will appear red/pink and are alive because Iustia is the Bringer of Life(and his element is earth).

"Is that the game? <points to the commercial on the HDTV behind me>"
"Yes, sir."
"<looks at it> You know what? No thanks. Lets do Army of Two 2 instead."
"...Uh, okay dokie."
"Yeah, that looks stupid."
Another example.
<commercial plays>
"That was for Bayonetta right?"
"Yeah."
"I have that on pre-order. Let me switch that something else."
"...Okay..."
Out of the five preorders, four of them were the second example. one of them was the first example. All of them knew about the demo as well.

No sure how that is :fixed" since pre-orders are the life blood of your game unless your name is "Nintendo."

What kind of person preorders something like freakin BAYONETTA, and cancels the preorder because of a commercial? Didn't they know what they were getting into in the first place?

Seeing gameplay from this game versus the cutscenes are pretty radically different things. Fuck, I'm looking forward to this game and have beaten super embarrassing shit like FFX-2 and SO4, and even I fucking cringe at almost all of the cutscene/non-direct gameplay footage I've seen. They need to be marketing this game waaaay differently than they currently are in the US right now; everyone who knows better is still down, but casuals who get interested because they remember liking DMC and God of War are probably horribly turned off when they see most of what's being presented by the marketing here. Most people probably actually DON'T know what they're getting into.

That's the thing, casuals have NO IDEA that this game is from the creator of DMC. I was guessing that anyone PREORDERING this game had to have some knowledge of what he/she was getting themselves into which is why I think that someone canceling their preorder because of the commercial is dumb.
For instance, if I had no idea what Bayonetta was, I would never preorder the game. Hell, I barely preorder games I KNOW will be great, much less a brand new IP.

Used to have a running joke with some friends before Halo 3 came out. We'd call it King of Games 3. Bayonetta is King of Games 3: Kamiya Edition
And Net Wrecker, I think its just a stupid casual thing to pre-order shit you're not even sure about. Who the fuck does that? Thats like pre-ordering a movie just because the poster looked cool.

What a kick to the balls/vagina.corkscrewblow said:My Walmart had it out for the 360 so I brought it to the register and it wouldn't go through
My night was crushed.
Reading the review, the guy sounded like a pussy. Seems like he had a hard time with Bayonetta even though from most gamer impressions it doesn't seem that hard at all, especially coming from someone who is comparing this to NG. I don't know what "nuance" he is referring to, I think it maybe the move list selection which is structured kind of like NG's I guess you could say but that is where the similarities stop. I can say for sure that Bayonetta is far more like DMC than NG.Curufinwe said:
I don't really know anything about this Arthur guy or whatever... it seems that he was also fairly put down by the style of the game and it's general over the topness. Pretty much all of the 2nd page of the review discussed this. He doesn't really highlight any true FLAW in the game play he just says that sometimes it tries to be like God of War, other times like Ninja Gaiden and other times like DMC.
He also referred to DMC as a style fluff over substance type game in the review. And yeah, DMC4 is the best selling DMC game and even DMC series' lowest selling game DMC2 has sold more than any NG game to date. He needs to get his facts checked.
Capcom was only disappointed in DMC4's PC sales, which is where he might have got his sources wrong. Capcom said that DMC4 despite doing so well on consoles didn't do as well on PC and it fell prey to piracy. But the real reason is that A) PC version came a long time after console versions B) Most people thought it was gonna suck after the shitty job that was done with DMC3SE PC version C) Others were just fed up of DMC4 and didn't want to play the PC version. Sadly the DMC4 PC version is by far the singular BEST version.
my friend, who is a manager at a nearby gamestop, told me she is the only worker at the store that has preordered a copy and that everyone that works there refuses to play it because it's too effeminate. :lol
western gamers and their false desire for mature games.
they should of used "bulletproof" by La Roux instead. it fits the game's theme even better. :lol (not to mention it's catchier...)

You'd be surprised, I've seen many people who refuse to even play Metroid because they can't "relate" to female characters.
