You're supposed to be charging your move at the end of a combo, when your enemy's down.
That way, they won't move out of the way.

So stop time! Or in harder difficulties when you can't, place them strategically through your combos. But they will be very useful for the Alfheim challenges, trust me :D

as one of the people who provided the earlier impressions, basically the level loading times are a bit annoying, but the actual game, gameplay and graphics are completely fine. Not as good as the 360 but unless you sit there and compare them side by side by side you'll never care. the loading stuff in game hasn't really bothered me that much, it's only the level loading which is pretty annoying. I STRONGLY recommend PS3-only owners don't pass this up. The game is still fuck all awesome, we just have to wait 20ish seconds for the action to start level to level.... definitely a small price to pay for such a gorgeous and frantic game.

edit - for reference I own both systems and stuck with PS3 for the DS3 and trophies and I don't regret that decision. The loading is pretty lame but hasn't diminished my enjoyment of the game. This is my main beef with the IGN review. They act like (as you said) it's a god awful port and stay away from it unless you absolutely have to. IMHO it's more like it's a disappointing port but you would still be utterly bat shit insane to pass the game up if you only own a PS3 and like the genre.

Listen to this man. He speaks the truth. If you only have a PS3 and are at all interested in this game then please don't pass on Bayonetta. It's still crazy fun.

Durga is too slow to be practical without liberal amounts of dodge offsetting, but you'll be glad you have them when it comes time for the Alfheims.

Six punches doesn't sound so bad when each of them takes a third health off.

Weird glitches during the first level. It basically got into a weird can't do anything loop with the fireball throwing dude clipping through the structure I was on. Happened twice :(

So... I don't play a lot of action games like this... Question about Chapter 3:
What's the best way to go about taking out the enemies on fire? I keep trying to punch/kick them and I can't because... Well... They're on fire.
? Thanks for any advice!

...you weren't using Witch Time?

The thing dies in like two or three combos without you ever having to shoot it

Haha, so it's just like Cerberus from DMC3. You can stand in the back of the room and shoot him for ten minutes straight, or run and counter his attacks and kill him in a minute or two.

I was referring only to fire, which I did not make at all obvious in my post.
Click to expand...
Oh yeah, fire is pretty much worthless considering the damage output isn't really greater than the katana, which swings much faster and pulls off larger combos in a shorter timespan.

Even the aftershock of the weapon's damage is nullified by higher tier weapons like the Bazillions.

This game is so Platinum... so Sega... so Capcom... so Awesome!!! The ending was crazy and the game has so much replayability. I really hope it does well cause i'll like to see some dlc (maybe co-op).

Yes it is.....I also love the dodge feature we got a taste of it in MADWORLD.

its great to see PG use the same features across there IP's it gives it a stamp.

we know what we are getting if Platinum Games name is attached to a product.

I just played through Verse 1 of the Prologue, in which I pretty much spent the whole time laughing my head off at the insane cutscene and bizarre version of "Fly Me to the Moon" they had playing in the background the whole time. Now I'm up to a cutscene where Enzo and Bayonetta drive Enzo's beat-up car while Magical Sound Shower plays in the background.

This might be the best game ever created.

I thought the cases were not the eco-friendly ones?

Maybe it's second wave.

Man, I beat the game a couple days ago and have been farming for better times and upgrades and halo glitches, but I got a question about the story.

ENDGAME SPOILERS

What the fuck? Why did Past Bayonetta turn into the jewel? Did she turn back? How does she wear her own jewel self? If they can just time travel at will, then...what? Most importantly, is the JEWEL the left eye, or is Bayonetta, or is only the slightly altered time travel Bayonetta...? Jesus christ. Makes no sense

Yeah I said I'd wait because I didn't like the style.

Well you know what? I'm WEAK. I just bought it. It came with 8 posters probably filled with camel-toe art.

:(

On the plus side, no eco case with my 360 version. :D

Did anyone who pre ordered the game at Gamesteop get the posters? All I got was one poster he pulled off a tablet of posters. :/

To sorta answer your question...

Past Bayonetta does not turn into the jewel, unless you're referring to that weird fusion with Balder, in which case, I don't even know. Apparently, she was saved and returned to the past, and it was that return to the past that made Bayonetta realize her potential and become the Left Eye. I think the Eye is her in particular, and the whole jewel story is a ruse to draw her out.

You'd think that messing around with someone in the past to change the character of someone in the present would cause some severe time paradoxes, but I guess not...

The awesome is far more important than whatever logic ties the story together, anyways.

Oh, you liked Chapter VII? Chapter XIII will blow your mind. What's left of it by then, anyways :lol

EDIT: When you're in the training screen, just do the combo until that point and stop. It will show the white dot when it's time, which means you can measure how long it takes for future attempts.

Just started and I'm going through the combos in the training sequence. I need help doing a combo.

PPPKK-P

After she does the two kicks, I press P and she goes into slap mode. The combo doesn't count, so, I figure I'm doing something wrong. I know I have to pause, but HOW long do I?

wait until, after the PPPKK, the little dot flashes next to the combo icons. it is often a tad longer than you think.

I was going to hold off because $70 (Canadian) for a PS3 game is bullshit and I refuse to buy anything for that price since prices went up in Canada last year, but I went to HMV and it was $60. This is proof that there is a god, and he loves me.

Wow this game is far more fucking nuts than the videos I've seen. Completely crazy. Don't want to see a single cutscene more it's way too fucking wacky and over-the-top (in a bad way) for me to appreciate, jesus christ.

But the gameplay is SO GOOD. Action gameplay king is here indeed.

Fuckin' Walmart says it'll take more than a week for the game to be delivered.

If I had more money I wouldn't of gotten it somewhere else but I had to use the e-gift card I got from them for ordering a 360.

Is this game really deserving of all this swooning and praise?

I enjoy NG, GOW and DMC's...but I would never be able to say these games are that good!

So what exactly makes Bayonetta special...sorry if it's been answered like a million times.

No, but
two of the chapters have recycled environments in a special way (it's not that noticeable and you're there for a short time) and you fight the bosses twice, but the second time they are severely underpowered and the fights are different.
