Can we just get things straight, regarding the 10 from Edge.
To those who do not "get it", Bayonetta belongs to a particular genre. It is a genre that is only populated by very few games, compared to the FPS genre, which is populated by hundreds.
Bayonetta is as good as you can get in the genre that it belongs to. That is why it has received a 10. Bayonetta did not receive a 10 for being the most exciting shoot em up ever. Or whatever else you expected.

oh wow
people weren't understating the hidden boss

Yeah. I didn't have a whole lot of trouble with the other bosses (especially the human ones) so I figured that boss would be tough but not impossible. Then he hit me once and I lost one of my two life bars. That was the first hit in a combo.ShockingAlberto said:
I'm not even going to try.
I had some weird ass camera glitch at that same part in Chapter 15. The camera would zoom out indefinitely unless it ran into an obstacle. It would zoom out so far, I could see the whole 3D model of the island on my screen :lol If I fell it reset though. I think I may have triggered it by using panther form at the top of the tower before you advance up the disappearing platforms.
I finished the game on normal last night. The epilogue was pretty epic. Overall, the game was great. The combat in the game is mind-blowingly good. The cut scenes were way too frequent and were often way too long. QTE deaths are some stupid shit. Torture/climax attacks where you mash a button repeatedly are aggravating. Motorcycle / missile sections weren't that bad but they lasted way too long. I just wanted to get through them as fast as possible so I could get back to chopping up angels. Also, fuck the part in chapter 15 where you have to use the turrets, died on that part way too many times.
I'll be replaying lots of chapters for the broken pearls/hearts, alfheims, and LP pieces I missed, then I'll consider tackling hard mode if I'm not burnt out on the game before then.

Here you go!
The full sized imaged could be seen as NSFW which is why I'm not posting it here.
You guys should check out this thread on the Platinum boards. Some of the fanart posted there is incredible.
This is one is freaking cute:

Im sure this is old as hell, but here is a Gamesradar article on alot of the references to other games/movies in Bayonetta, From the obvious Sega classics, Viewtiful Joe and Okami references to some of the obscure ones like Indy and Christopher Walken

Psh, that article is an auto-fail for missing the Dragonball references.

It's stuff like this that make you go squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Still if there was one thing that made me go hmmmm...., there was a lot of clipping. I wish there was a cut scene viewer. I had to rest my right hand now from the game. Not too used to that much action. (Lefty here)

You can also shoot the missilesXenoRaven said:
Also if you tap X super rapidly, you can stop him from even launching missiles by making him stagger constantly.

It was also very late when I found out you could dodge on the missile...
XenoRaven said:
I knew you could shoot the missiles but I did not know you could activate WT off of them while in the turret. Damn. Also, can you dodge the big beam attack in the turret? Seems like every time I tried I got toasted instead, but it could be my timing was off. The first few times I failed I started second guessing and trying other things which didn't work (shooting him in the face to interrupt it, jumping out instead of dodging, etc...)
Pretty much. I understood the platforming aspect but the camera just made it way more maddening than it should it have been.vermadas said:
That aside, this is probably my favorite action game this side of ZOE2 and DMC1. My only real issue with the game is dying when I set the controller down at a QTE segment. Level and enemy designs were a real a joy, the combat is insane, and the boss fights have to be some of the best ever (Chapter XIV, wow).
Yeah, that's one thing that kind of bugged me. It didn't keep track of what you're missing in each level. So many stories of people missing one heart piece and not knowing where it is.LiK said:gawd, i did the Alfheims outta order. now i have to revisit all the Alfheims just to see if i completed them or not
At least the Tears of Blood are recorded.

It doesn't explicitly state which verses they are, but if you've missed any verses, it's likely they're alfheims or hidden verses that lead to alfheims.

I went back and played a few chapters of Devil May Cry 1(never beat it).
In a word: Yikes.
This game has not aged well at all.

Jesus Christ. the Alfheims on Infinity Climax do not fuck around.
I thought two Jeannes at once the worst it could get, then I did the first Alfheim in Chapter 10:
Defeat 16 Angels, 2 Grace/Glory, and 2 Joys using only Wicked Weave attacks. (and no witch-time obv).
I love this game.

Ah!
How useful are those four (?) hidden accessories anyway? All the accessories I ever hear anyone talk about are the ones that are available from the start.
PepsimanVsJoe said:
I don't know about the gameplay, which is probably odd now (triangle to jump?), but I watched a youtube of some DMC 1 gameplay out of nostalgic curiosity recently and was surprised at how nice it still looked graphically.
lol I just read that it's possible to redo verses without restarting the whole chapter :lol Just choose exit to title screen while the result screen is still visible 6 choose continue & you'll be back at the start of that verse A lot faster than restarting the whole chapter at least. Will have to try this tomorrow. Read it on gamefaqs so take it with a grain of salt I suppose
Also, is there a Pure Platinum statue available after the ordinary Platinum statue at the end of the chapters?

Some of the alfheim triggers are downright dickish
One involves destroying a random out of the way trashcan
Another involves BEATING THE BOSS and not walking the two inches in to the exit, but instead heading back as far as you can possibly go
Yet another involves destroying a wall that doesn't look breakable and using making a long distance jump - if you fail the jump, there is no way to get back up without restarting the long and difficult chapter

I'm pretty sure the enemies are the same on hard as they are infinite climax, they just have more health/damage and only bracelet of time can trigger WT.
One trick I like to use with the 'Use Wicked Weave' alfheims is equip the Eternal Testimony and mix in <- -> P or K attacks which take 3 magic. They are fast and work well mixed up with the standard PKP. Also, using PKP with a charged Pillow Talk is a good way to obliterate large groups of enemies.
Another trick - you can charge your Pillow Talk then walk into an alfheim fully charged.
