I can't do this for the life of me.
It's just too many steps for my brain to process - - think of the combo I want to execute
- think of the proper timing for those annoying little pauses
- think of hitting the dodge button to avoid incoming attacks at the right time
- think of remembering to hold down the last combo button I was pressing so I can do the dodge offset
- remember what timing I need to use for the button press coming out of the dodge
Awesome game, finished climax mode yesterday, i have now started normal mode again to get all platinum(which will
And seriously fuck Capcom, instead of giving us awesome Dante with Lady and Trish playable, they gave us a younger twin copy of Dante as lead with excuse that Dante is too powerful, Bayonetta says bullshit.

just finished the game. without a doubt the best action game i've played this gen. that really isn't saying much considering the quality of most of them, i know, but i can safely say this is the best action game of its type since ninja gaiden black.
goddamned amazing. can't wait to screw around with the items i missed through my first playthrough.

While I am a huge Capcom fanboy, they have a lot of work to do if and when they ever launch DMC5. Not really sure how they could succesfully top Bayonetta.

the locations of the alfheim portals are so weird. you have to recheck every location after something happens, or you'll almost never find a thing on your own.

Despite my sucktitude as mentioned above, I just managed to finish this on Normal. The final battle plus the ending sequence alone bumped my personal score for those game from the 7.5-8 range to the 8.5-9 range.

ARGH! order posted yesterday from game with next day delivery and it hasnt even arrived at the royal mail depo place! Bloody weather...
So I just got past a part I was stuck at, and I'm so happy right now that I just need to come in here to gush about how fucking awesome Bayonetta is.
God, I love action gaming. The kind of feeling you get when you have just destroyed a bunch of enemies that were kicking your ass is beyond anything else in gaming. I never have this much fun in anything else I play. NOTHING compares to this feeling. This brings back my earliest memories of when I was getting my ass kicked at Ninja Gaiden and I just couldn't get past that one boss, that one enemy encounter. Then I do beat it, and I know I did something that was phenomonally difficult but did it anyway. I just fucking destroyed those guys and there is nothing they could have done about it because I"M JUST THAT FUCKING GOOD.
Fuck whatever is coming out the rest of the year. It doesn't matter. Bayonetta is the game of the year, game of the past 5 years. Thank you Kamiya, thank you Platnium games. You have reminded me of what action gaming means to me.

My climax edition arrived as well today, i had just seen in my emails that it was dispatched yesterday and ten minutes later got a knock at the door and found it to be the game(this actually pisses me off because i thought it was the headphones that were dispatched from play.com on saturday)

Go to the menu where level select is - look for 'Play History'.

Want this game so bad, but the stupid walmart in my small ass town was sold out on release day (only 2 friggin copies). Well they did still have ps3 versions left and I was tempted but thankfully decided to go back home and order the 360 version off amazon. The guy working in the electronic section saying the game is gonna suck due to it being from sega fouled my mood even more. Heh, I wonder how many gamers are gonna pass on this game simply because it has sega on the box.
Okay you've heard me complain about the imagery in this game, but now that I've spent a couple of hours with it I can now complain about the gameplay :lol...The combat mechanics, the moveset, dodging/witch time, etc. all seem quite fluid and well though out; however, I find that overall the combo-centered design not to be my cup of tea. The game definitely feels more like DMC than Ninja Gaiden, which is a little dissappointing to me. I think I like the enemy design better in NG because the enemies don't feel as much as mere juggling objects. The biggest thrill I get from these types of games is countering my opponent, and though Bayonetta definitely rewards the player for doing so, I feel the A.I and enemy design in the NG series is better suited for my style of play. Royal Guard in DMC made things kinda fun though, for me.

after you beat the game in its entirety once, the Play History menu unlocks in the Chapter Select 'sub-menu'.forgrim said:

oh yeah, regarding the (Chapter 14-15 spoilers)
, both of those sections were so much better for me once I realised that you can un-invert the Y-Axis in the Start menu.
it's probably been over in the thread already, but here it is again:
TO UN-INVERT SHOOTING SEQUENCES
it's kind of hidden, you have to select the top option in the 'options' menu, then highlight control and press A on the missile (or equivalent) symbol, then, when the control map shows up, hit Y to invert.

you should be able to get through Normal mode in a rental period. depending on your skill, the single-player campaign takes around 8 hours.EzLink said:
Blank medals from not completing an Alfheim challenge or hidden verse does effect your Chapter score. Some might not know but there are stone, bronze, silver, gold, platinum and then pure platinum rankings. The best ranking requires pures in all verses of that chapter.thetrin said:
If you find that you're turning into the panther accidentally, it means you're spamming the dodge and not actually timing it. I had this problem too, still do sometimes, but work on timing and you'll see your game improve tremendously. Air dodges and accidental crow transformations on the other hand, I still do too often.Generic said:

oh, yeah, sure. I was 12 hours in when I ploughed through Chapter 14 through to the end, thanks to all the time I'd spent replaying levels to try out new play-styles and search for hidden goodies.Raxus said:
the game is loaded with content, it's one of the few games I've felt has actually earned that $99AU price tag in the past few months, but if someone wanted to rent it and just experience the campaign on a relatively shallow level, a rental period should be enough time if you get it over the weekend or something.

Pretty sure there was a tutorial at one point, I didn't understand what it did at first but then when I sent some of the bigger enemies flying due to the crazy combos I had going I knew that dodge offset was for me. ;-)ravien56 said:
Hell I am still missing the crows, hearts and pearls and I still skip verses but I plan on going back and improving my stone medals to gold/silvers so I don't feel so ashamed. I got the panther mode and I am getting used to the combo system. Plus, I still need to adjust to two whole new weapons I earned, the whip and claws. Needless to say this game is going to take hundreds of hours out of time out of pure bliss unlike DMC4's grind to get 1000 achievements/full trophies.

Until you're learned the combos you want, try just holding down every button you press until you need to hit the next button. Then, when you dodge, you're already holding down the button and if that combo happens to have a pause section, you'll continue the combo naturally when you come out of the roll.

ok this is a pet peeve of mine - for me play.com have dispatched every game i pre-ordered without fail on the wednesday or even tuesday it was released, and generally since i live in london i get it on the thursday at the latest.
the only exception to this is when royal mail fuck up, as happened during the strikes last year when a bunch of my stuff arrived weeks late or just went missing completely.
your problem isn't with play.com but with royal mail being completely incompetent, and for some parts of the country its much worse than others. theres really not much play can do about that.
