My controller must be on the way out because sometimes my mashes don't always fill up the megaton meter.LiK said:Mash as fast as you can.
Btw, the Torture for Joy is just so dirty, I love it
I just checked out the Joy torture on YouTube because my magic bar was empty during that fight. That thing is crazy!

As much as I love Bayonetta (and I do, I haven't enjoyed a beat'em all like this, ever), I'm not sure I'd wish a sequel. Keeping it a one-shot should protect the magic of the style, the design etc.
But I'm all for more IPs from Platinum, as crazy, polished, balanced etc. than Bayonetta. From now on, I'll keep a close look on their games.

I'm about 3 hrs in and LOVING it....but 4 quick questions:
1. How do you improve your Angel Attack score? I can only seem to get in the 40's-50's. Can you get more bullets, or do better enemies show up after awhile? Also, are the items cheaper to buy in Angel Attack, or do you always convert to halos?
2. Against the boss
, it seemed like I was executing Wicked Weaves every attack...was that just because of the boss battle? Was Bayonetta 'powered up' or something?
3. What determines entire chapter ranking? I keep getting Gold/Platinum on the Verses, and then end the chapter with a Stone. What's going on?
4. Are the Torture Attacks random?

Likes to have "friends" around to "play cards" with
I want to see a sequel since I want more of Bayonetta and her crazy world. But Sega better not introduce shitty friends to the franchise.
Yeah, that was awesome.
Chapter XV is insane too.

Oh awesome is Jeanne? SO AWESOME. Best rival ever.

Love the 2nd reference to Okami when your in the loading screen as the panther and the dead flowers sprout up when your running along the floor

1. get headshots on the angels and kill 2 in a row for a double kill bonus. also there will be a little guy that flies by (accompanied with his own sound), you can kill him for 10 points. there are bullets in each stage you can collect that give you more shots.
2. for some bosses all of your attacks will be wicked weaves (or whatever other weapons use in place of the weaves).
3. if you die you'll get a skull icon on your chapter summary; just one of these will drastically lower your overall rating. die two or more times and you'll probably wind up with a stone award. using an item gives you half a skull icon i believe.
4. not entirely. some enemies have specific tortures, and positioning also matters (ie. if you torture an enemy while in the air).

People mentioning all these later chapters are blowing my mind. I just got done with Chapter 4 and that was already the kind of End Boss shit I'd be expecting so... HOLY SHIT :lol

I've been really enjoying this game, but a final boss having a one-kit kill attack is really fucking dickish.

I'd personally like to see Kamiya work on a new IP. This game has flaws, but they're the sort that don't detract from the game when I replay it. This game isn't perfect, but I'm fairly sure it's going to end up being one of my favourite games of the generation, and might even make my all time fav game list if I still feel the same way in a few months. I don't really need a sequel right away, I'd like to see what Kamiya and TLA (it's so fucking diva-ish that the superstar designers at Platinum have their own studio with its own identity from within PG itself, I love it) can do now with a whole new concept. Bayonetta, as a game, is hard to imagine getting much more fun or enjoyable for me. The disc I have right now is a complete, well-realised package without any particularly fatal flaws I'd like to see ironed out in a sequel.
this is one of the little things that I love. I always HATED this in DMC. One of the stupidest, most counter-intuitive, yet oh so tiny yet oh so significant, design decisions of all time.LiK said:Anyone else glad that the items dont go up in price when you buy them like with the DMC series? I go for the heart pieces every chance I get
It's really easy to dodge. Just mash the dodge button and point the stick in the opposite direction. You'll get sucked up right next to it, and you'll rapidly change back and forth from panther form, but you won't die. He rarely uses it toward the end of the fight, anyway.ShockingAlberto said:
I'm loving this game but after playing it alot in the first 24 hours of release my right arm and wrist are really sore. Something about pushing RT so often and mashing buttons for torture attacks has messed up my shit, it's hard to play it right now. Lawsuit.

Does anyone know when we'll be able to tell how well this game is selling?

I beat it, but occasionally I'd lose sense of direction or be in the middle of a punt when it would do the attack too close to me to run away.Rez said:

It's ok, you makes tons more money in Hard mode.
You know what's really, really awesome in this game?
Those crazy switches in perspective during some of the platforming, and especially when you're able doing that sort of mind-bending Witch-Walking shit during the actual combat (like in the first boss fight against Jeanne, so awesome). It's a serious rush. Mario Galaxy ain't got nothin' on this game in that department.
I love this game so much.

I don't have the confidence in PG to be able to pull-off a satisfactory net-code/online infrastructure to allow for co-op. They have, relatively, thin enough resources as it is, the last thing I want them spending money and time on in the next game is some form of interactive online functionality.

Kamiya doesn't really do sequels, and when other people work on his creations the results are usually not desireable. Even VJ2 which wasn't a bad game (like dmc2 was) wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the first. So I'd be completely fine with no sequel with Bayonetta.
Of course if it turns out like dmc3...I'd certainly take it.

I do recall reading about how he wanted to make DMC2. But they started work on it almost immediately after the first game came out (Altering another game in development and just putting Dante in it). Hell, he wanted to make another Okami game, but now that capcom is already making one (and that he's no longer associated with Capcom), he's lost interest.

IS that on hard? I tend to suck at these games but I can dodge like a ninja im only up to chapter 3 but ive got 1 silver and one bronze, I did get like 4 Perfect Platinum's whatever they are :loljvalioli said:OMG After like 6 stone statue awards in a row I get a platinum statue on chapter XIII. Got hit one time.
Also noticed on chapter one I had missed 2 whole Coins (like gold/platinum) not sure how that works but oh well, this game is just mental
There are certain parts where if you find a secret place or backtrack a little you will have another fight. Like in Chapter 1 after you fight the big angel dude, you can take his axe and then head back to where the elevator is and you'll have another fight.Johnlenham said:

Yeah, I think that it is one of the cheapest cheat codes because not everybody can do it, so no sweat if you end up using it, it's worth it
Finally found that last Alfheim challenge in chapter 9, now I'm just missing a few chapters in Infinite Climax and I'll get the 1000/1000 (but I'll keep playing to unlock some other stuff). What an amazing game.
