Bayonetta ::droooool::

[FurryCurry]

I should post a trailer one of these days...



Still need to get used to the combos and large array of moves available but so far so damn good ya know? I like feeling like I am instantly rewarded for doing good instead of feeling like it occurs after the battle.

First stage looks and feels chaotic but you can get through it and see it's more 'normal' side in the next stage.

I hope we get the LE version in the states.:bouncy:

[lolwut?]

So basically that "Sign up for a Sega Pass to get the demo" was unnecessary BS.

I played the demo last night and was really surprised; it feels like a really solid title and I will probably pick it up when it hits $30 or so.

I think that right there could be the CAG motto.

[Ryuukishi]

Um, am I missing something? It's asking me for a code. Where does one get the code to download this?

[lolwut?]

Um, am I missing something? It's asking me for a code. Where does one get the code to download this?

Haha, I guess it wasn't. You didn't read my post? It was only the second one in the thread.

Anyways, I've done the hard work of Googling for you: http://www.sega.com/bayonettademo/

[chubbyninja1319]

This is a lame way of getting people to try your game. Why not release it to everyone? I didn't even hear about the segapass demo thing or I would've signed up.

[Mindzeye82]

Laaaaaaaame!

[FurryCurry]

That's fucking terrible. Sega should be ashamed of themselves. If I worked at Platinum games I'd be throwing a fit. How is limiting a demo to 40,000 people a good idea? Don't they want this game to be a hit on par with the Devil May Cry series? Just release the damn demo and start the NA/EU hype train already.

Anyway, for the people who didn't get in, sorry. I didn't know it was like this exactly.

[pete5883]

By limiting the demo to the people who "really want it," they increase the odds that the people who play it will spread positive impressions, and limiting negative opinions. I assume the demo's going to be available to everyone eventually anyway, so they may as well get the hype train started right.

[Soy Bob]

Is this the same demo that could be downloaded from the Japanese marketplace? If so, play the levels the other way round. I didn't have a clue what was going on in the first one, but the second makes a lot more sense.

Overall, there was some fun to be had from this game.

[Ryuukishi]

Anyways, I've done the hard work of Googling for you: http://www.sega.com/bayonettademo/
Thanks. The OP didn't say anything about needing a special pass.

[FurryCurry]

That's because for a time you didn't need one. Read my posts much?

I guess it's a good idea but who actually thinks this game sucks?

[Japakneez]

Bandwidth is expensive. They could have limited it due to those costs

[Malik112099]

its out for everyone December 3rd

[JEKKI]

Bayonetta is awesome!!

check out my review of the game: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=11470

I'll be getting the 360 version when it comes stateside

What is this? A voice of reason? On a gaming message board? You sir have likely stumbled onto the wrong site.

[Rodimus]

The demo has been up on the Japanese marketplace for a few weeks.

[JEKKI]

Bayonetta got a perfect score in Edge magazine!!

that's the second perfect score it received, first one being Famitsu.

[Rodimus]

Jekki, how did you play Bayonetta? Did you import it?

[FurryCurry]

Bayonetta got a perfect score in Edge magazine!!

that's the second perfect score it received, first one being Famitsu.

That's... what in the world is this game. Like yeah it's better than DMC4 but Perfect? Man, first week of January is going to be bananas.

[JEKKI]

Rodimus D>> yeay I have the import for PS3.

Furry>> nothing is perfect. The thing is, no other game in the 3D action genre puts all the pieces together as good as Bayo does. Bayonetta sets a new bar.

check these out combo videos, if u do not care about weapon/costume/enemy/environment spoilers, have fun:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMU7lKZyS20

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdQAHbS9c44

[Japakneez]

im still skeptical. I remember watching a video on it and the developer made it look like a shallow button-masher with big combos. We'll see...

[equest943]

I'm surprised Edge would give any game a 10. They're so stingy with their scores.

[JEKKI]

im still skeptical. I remember watching a video on it and the developer made it look like a shallow button-masher with big combos. We'll see...are there any games in this genre that you feel like would not fall under this feeling?

there is a rhythm with which to press attack buttons that adds variety, but if u wanna mash your way to victory the game is difficult enough to allow you to succeed that way using the same combo over and over again.

ultimately the game has the depth to make of it how the player chooses to do so.

[LostRoad]

Bla why does this game have to come out the same day as Darksiders. So many freaking pre orders already for Jan.

That's good to hear about the depth. Game design today needs to satisfy casual play (mashing lol) but if it also allows hardcore skills to shine then i will definitely be a big fan.

Capcom's Dungeons & Dragons II was a great beat'em'up that wasn't a masher IMO. I would love to see a sequel or new IP that is similar but updated to todays standards.

I love beatemups and always wanted to help design one myself. A couple OG street fighter friends worked on God of War and that pretty much changed the genre. Bayonetta getting a perfect score in a couple magazines is no joke! Here's to hoping beatemups gain even more momentum :applause:

[Rodimus]

I played the demo a few weeks ago and I loved it. Even tough I haven't played the full game yet I can back up Jekki's claim of depth. You can pull of some insane combos after some practice.

[CaptainJoel]

Damn great demo. I've already played it about 11 times.

[n4styn4t3]

gamespot.com is giving away free codes for early access to the demo.

[chubbyninja1319]

gamespot.com is giving away free codes for early access to the demo.

Details?

== Nevermind, there is a link right there on the Gamespot homepage. You just have to register or log-in to your gamespot account and they give you the code. Glad you posted this! I almost bought a code off ebay because I'm anxious to try this game!

[Rocko]

...I got a code from Gamespot, entered it online, added the demo to my queue, and my 360 says I can't download the demo. :|

[shrike4242]

gamespot.com is giving away free codes for early access to the demo.Thanks for the info. Signed up on Gamespot and received the demo unlock code in seconds.

[tangytangerine]

For those that are too lazy to sign up for the Gamespot demo code. The demo will be free to everyone around Dec. 13th.

[Japakneez]

nice! thanks for the update guys

[FurryCurry]

Even better. The demo will be out on the 3rd.

What's the deal with NA getting shafted on the special edition Bayonetta?

Look at what the UK is getting!

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/01/uk-bayonetta-pre-order-bonuses-revealed/#comments

[nasum]

the most droolworthy aspect was Penny Drake at E3...

[gareman]

This game seems pretty damn sweet. It's definitely on my radar after playing the demo.

[ninja dog]

Is she saying "Fuck off" when she does the hair uppercut?

[freshzen]

I'm going to have to delete some DLC to fit the demo on my hard drive and I have no demos or videos on there right now. Damn you tiny 20gb HD.

[100xp]

it's so bad it's good...I really enjoyed how easy the controls are and special moves, even though there's a lot of special moves/combos to do. Something very satisfying watching her stand on her head and fire endless rounds out of her pistol heels.

don't know if i'll splurge and get it when it comes out but, it might be one of those 2nd titles I pick up when there's a B2G1 deal.

[evildeadjedi]

Cool can't wait to play the demo of this one!

[flameofdoom666]

The more I see of this, the more I want it. An indie developer made it, and it has such a high quality-- that I think it demands to be played. This genre is not my forte, but I think I am going to buy this out of support at retail price. I LOVED Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Madworld (all things the director had a huge hand in).

SUPPORT GOOD IDEAS AND DEVELOPERS!

[JEKKI]

the game has references to Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and MadWorld in it also!!

not jus those games... you can expect much fan service from the game.

Magical Sound Shower!

[Rodimus]

How do they reference them?

[ryosnk]

I cant wait for this game. Any info on if the we are getting LE version?

[Ink.So.Well.]

Not much of a beat 'em up sort of guy unless it is old school or God of War but I enjoyed the demo. Enough to make a purchase if the right deal shows up. Who is Bayonetta's VA btw? She sort of reminds me of Catherine Zeta-Jones.

[JEKKI]

How do they reference them?some music is inspired from older sega games,

during story segments, the characters make a lot of references to older Kamiya, Platinum Games, and Sega games,

some of bayonetta's moves are taken from Okami/DMC/VJ,

lastly some stages are either inspired or directly a rip off of certain sega games.

[ryosnk]

This looks awesome.

http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Xbox-360/Bayonetta-with-Scarborough-Fair-Replica-Gun/~r336360/

[seanr1221]

After playing the demo a few times, the game grew on me. I definitely think I'll use some christmas moneys and pick it up.

[a wolf at fullmoon]

Looks sweet, perhaps finally an action game that will replace Ninja Gaiden II for me.

[chriscolbert]

Since some of us have already gotten our hands on this, I figured I would bump this up.

I'm having a BLAST with this. I had my doubts because I can never bring myself to finish games like DMC4 and NG2, but so far I'm really digging the combat and over-the-top feel of this game. It's so ridiculous yet addictive at the same time.

[RyuNinja1988]

This Game really couldn't have come at a better time for me. I used to be a big DMC fan but after DMC4 I think I'm about done with the series. I hated the whole MGS2 thing they did with it & playing all the levels of the game twice didn't sit well to me. I Hope
Bayonetta is a better DMC then DMC4 is, can't wait to play this game.

[FurryCurry]

I will assume that this is on the second page because we are all too busy playing it. I know I was.

But really why is this thread on the second page? This is the greatest hardcore action game ever created. This game is almost perfect.

[anubis20]

Bayonetta rocks, im not the type that replays the same level but in Bayonetta I keep replaying the levels until I get at least a gold statue at the end of the chapter. This game is all kinds of awesome

[chriscolbert]

This is so much better than DMC4 or NG2 for this type of genre. For me at least. I'm having an absolute blast!

:applause:

I got my xbox copy in today!!

gotta do all platinum run first play!!

-EDIT-

I like how ppl who dont even play this game on forums and even blog comments (like the GT review) like to hate for no reason on this game.

then you go on gaf where ppl are actually playing this game and every few posts you read

"holy fukk at *spoilerspoilerspoiler* so awesome!!"

[BigBen]

Is this game hard or do I just suck? I'm playing through on Normal and I die a hell of a lot heh. It's a fun game though, love the style and over the top action. I just wish I was better at it :P I'm able to plod my way through it (On chapter 9 I think), but I keep getting Stone trophies :(

[erectiontown]

the game is challenging, but not unfairly so. every time i've died or gotten hit its because i was not fast enough. enemies broadcast their attacks pretty well, which brings a nice balance of fairness and challenge. what a great way to start off 2010; i couldn't be more happy with this game.

[Sigma]

Bayonetta is great! I am having a blast with it and it really does remind me of why I love video games. The game doesn't take itself seriously and is just simply a blast to play. Sega really got a hold of a real jewel when they picked up this publishing deal with Platinum Games, just an amazing studio with a ton of talent and original ideas.

[Shrapnellistic]

Someone please explain, in spoiler tags (for others), why there's a child version of the protagonist?

[Rodimus]

Are you using items? They really drag down your rating.

I was pretty bad at first but once I started doing the Alfheims I got used to the combat quickly. They're actually great for learning enemy animations and knowing when to dodge. After doing several of these going back to the real game got much easier and more fun.

JEKKI, found a few references you were talking about. Found one from RE4 when the shop guy said "Whadda Buyin'"

[NutForest]

IGN giving it 9.5 aggravates me. It looks far from perfect.

When a boy and a girl really like each other, they hug real tight, then in nine months the stork brings them a present :o

And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it

At least, I assume it's her daughter >_> That's the last trailer I saw. Waiting to pick the game up still

Hey, hey. He said spoiler tags. ;)

[gareman]

Picked this game up, and playing it at the same time as GoW collection...and while the graphics and gameplay are top notch playing both actions games has only help me realize why 90% of library are western games. I can't stand the music and the story.

[whiptcracker]

IGN giving it 9.5 aggravates me. It looks far from perfect.

Aside from some minor screen tearing as far as I'm concerned it is one of the best of its genre. Have you played it? If not why should the score of a website bother you one way or another?

[erectiontown]

i get the shit out of this game... i'm in total agreement with a 9.5 rating, regardless of where it comes from.

[Rodimus]

Did anyone else catch the names of Luka's girlfriends?

[JEKKI]

yup. references off the top of my head:


The dood at the grave is named Eggman
Enzo is listening to Magical Sound Shower in his car
The bonus stage often begins with Splash Wave music
Rodin asks "What are ya buyin"
Rodin makes a Madworld reference to Jack's chainsaw arm
Luka mentions Claire, Trish, Silvia, and Ammy
Bayo says "dancin a go go baby"
Highway Stage, first part of the stage has Splash Wave remix, second part Afterburner remix
second part of that stage seems to be an homage to Hang On
there's also a Space Harrier/After Burner stage, with Space Harrier remix and all the sound effects
She has a Stinger like move, a Viewtiful Joe red hot kick, and leaves a trail of flowers in panther mode

I may be missing some...

[JEKKI]

omg at this rate the Dante's Inferno thread is gonna be more popular than Bayonetta

:bomb:

I have never seen this before, but my mind has been blown once again:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3JJUStzm38

[Rodimus]

Bayonetta's broken as shit.

[erectiontown]

beat this on normal last night... what a great game. i'm looking forward to starting hard, but i don't think i'm good enough at video games to beat it

[nasum]

definitely on my $20 list

[JEKKI]

Bayonetta's broken as shit.how so?

the game sets a standard for tightness as far as I can tell

[seanr1221]

So far so good.

Look up Kilgore "glitch"

Also look up "halo farming"

Now sigh at what was challenging become easier than soft poopoo

Fail.

Do you realize all of the calculated shit you have to do to pull off either of these (especially the farming)? If you play the game normally, you would NEVER encounter either of these. Most games have exploits if you seek them out.

This game is in no way, shape, or form "broken".

[KingDox]

I played the demo and love it. I really hope deals on this game start showing up.

[dragonjud]

Now sigh at what was challenging become easier than soft poopoo

I have to agree with the previous post. There's no way of doing this 'farming' without going way out of your path, and getting lucky as even some of the requirements to get to the 'farming' are ridiculously expensive.

If there's one complain is that it would take too long to unlock all her weapons, and moves. After I finish the game I have no desire to go back just to finish getting all the extra stuff, so in that regard it's a shame that they're so expensive.

Really like the game, although I'm also not a fan of 'watch this really long scene, but be prepared 'cause if you don't hit button z at the correct time you will die' routine. That's just a cheap trick that developers shouldn't do anymore.

Oh, excuse me... calculated hard work

I was just kidding. After seeing the video you posted it reminded me of unlimited combos as seen in a fighting game. The game is tight as hell.

[JEKKI]

Now sigh at what was challenging become easier than soft poopooeven the deepest and most technical of games have exploitable tactics in a single player environment.

anybody can beat the game without a problem.

playing the game in style however, that's what makes the game fun.

perfect example of another game that does this: Valkyrie Profile Silmeria.

u can farm exp and items, but there's so much crazy stuff in that game that the player can do if they have the technical know-how

you obviously aren't very good at exploiting the "glitches" and "broken-ness" you're complaining about. You can get over a million halos on that boss fight in five minutes if you don't break your combo.

Agreed. I hate getting a bad trophy on a level because my timing for these quick timed events isn't the greatest.

[Rocko]

So what's the deal with missing medals? Do I seriously have to continually backtrack to find all of the fights to get a good medal at the end?

[Fjordson]

I've heard of hidden verses that you find by backtracking, and I've also heard that some of them are the Alfheim portals. Read that on Gamefaqs though, so it could be complete hearsay.

Anyways, just my quick 2 cents on the game: I think it's extremely awesome. The campy atmosphere is a really nice change of pace from all the "mature" and "gritty" games as of late.

[whiptcracker]

So what's the deal with missing medals? Do I seriously have to continually backtrack to find all of the fights to get a good medal at the end?

Those are Alfhiem portals. Most do require backtracking, or just more exploration of an area. You don't need those medals to get a better trophy at the end, you just need to use less items and get a good combo/score.

[Lost_In_Shadows]

I rented it, and beat it. I did enjoy it although when renting a game I tend to rush things, and not enjoy a game to the fullest. I thought the story to Bayonetta was pretty fucked up,but I did enjoy it. It really is awesome.

[wakawakawa]

My girlfriend played this game for almost 5 hours straight on Saturday. It's funny cause I didn't think she would even like it. She started off at normal, but I told her to bump it down to easy.

I must be on the same level as her!

Played through Chapter 2 on Normal, died a few times but nothing too crazy -- but had to bump it down to Easy at the start of Chapter 3. Just couldn't get any further....seemed like the difficulty on that level ramped up fast.

I'm only on Chapter 5, and I'm still playing it on Normal, but I'm getting my ass handed to me a lot. Oh well, I'm just not a million halo combo caliber player. I can live with that. :lol:

[JEKKI]

I finally started playing over the weekend.

omg no loading!!!

makes playing 360 version waaaaaay better than PS3!!!

anyway, tryin to get all platinum verses... not going so well :(

Im getting platinum on the stages overall, but small things keep getting me gold medals on individual verses

I needa learn the combo system better... I donno how I keep hitting consistent 9.9 multipliers during large group fights but keep getting gold/silver combo scores

omg this is TOO SICK!!

That looks awesome. However, I collect game guides, and I can tell you that no amount of text :lol: or pretty pictures will make me play Bayonetta like that video.:lol:
It would require paying a lot of attention to detail during every single battle. I just wouldn't care enough to get there.

Oh, and I have to agree with the general sentiment on the vast amount of difference between 'easy' and 'normal'. After finishing the game on 'easy', I tried a couple of chapters in 'normal', and it feels like you're playing a different game.

I don't remember the last time there was such a huge difference between difficulties in a game like this. Playing on easy basically let's you experience the ridiculous over the top story, but it does nothing to prepare you for a real run on 'normal'.

[Rodimus]

Beat this last night. Amazing game. I beat all the Alfheims so if anyone needs advice. I only had problems with a couple of them. For the most part I was able to beat them no problem.

[maxim2boobles]

bought this game on ebay for 45 , cant wait to play it

Same with the differences between Normal and Hard. Grace/Glory, the enemy type I have the hardest time with, are suddenly everywhere in Hard mode.

[freshzen]

I started this game the other day and I've mostly been buying techniques but don't like any of the ones I have left to buy currently so next I plan to buy an accessory. Do you guys have any recommendations on first accessory buys? I finally realized sword=win so the game is a bit easier now :)

[JEKKI]

buy all the techniques. trust me. If you have any questions on them let me know.

as for accessories, Moon of Mala Kala or whatever it's called is the best one!!

it allows you to parry, and if timed right you get an extended witch time that doesnt expire from inactivity unlike regular witch time.

If you're good at the game, get Gaze of Despair. It puts you in permanent taunt mode, meaning enemies are more aggressive and tougher to attack but you get more combo points. Pretty much free platinum combo scores in each verse.

If you are bad at the game, get the accessory that puts you in witch time when you get hit at the expense of your magic meter.

and yeay Sword is real good, but too powerful and low combo scores for me >_<

I still use it in certain situations (like Alfheim gates) but when I need damage I jus use charged lightning durga.

[Fjordson]

Yeah, I'm a baddie at this game so I got the witch time accessory, for when an enemy hits you.

[freshzen]

Yeah, I'm a baddie at this game so I got the witch time accessory, for when an enemy hits you.
I ended up buying this and also the technique for giving you witch time if you missed the evade by a split second. Next I might save up for the durga weapon.

[exileinoblivion]

I just started playing this today and I have no idea what the hell is going on.

[dragonjud]

I just started playing this today and I have no idea what the hell is going on.

And you won't, even after you finish it. Enjoy the pretty graphics and the cool combat. Shut down your brain during the story parts.

Damn I gotta get this game

[js1]

And you won't, even after you finish it. Enjoy the pretty graphics and the cool combat. Shut down your brain during the story parts.

Exactly. That's all I did and I enjoyed it!:D

[limelight022]

Beat it on normal yesterday and i was pleased with the overall experience. The story was complete nonsense but the combat, craziness and numerous old school Sega nods,all kept me coming back.

Any suggestions on what to equip during Hard mode?

[Rodimus]

I played Wolverine: Orgins the other day and while it was a good game, it really made me miss Bayonetta's combat.

[timesplitt]

i had one guy left. he hit me and i lost my chance for platinum :(

You're probably long past needing this, but I used katana/kilgore on legs on one set, and double lightning kulshedra on the other set. Killed everything easily just by charging the weapons, cept glorious/gracious. Those are easiest if you have the accessory to parry, to me.

[Kevfactor]

just beat the game
ya for a singleplayer game it's as badass as that commercial makes it out to be. love the huge bosses(reminds me of sonic and i guess some those sega shooters) and arcade fighter style combat!

i'll give hard mode a try later on but im onto inferno now.

btw i pretty much just used the sword the whole time and only really used that bat damage and dash techs. :)

[Shippuden]

Just played the demo.


Damn I gotta get this game


^^^^What he said.

[anubis20]

I just beat the gametoday and this has got be the most badass game I have ever played. Last 2 boss fights were epic. Loved the dancing sequence at the end.

Beat the game this weekend. Had a lot of fun with it. I played on Easy, mainly because I wanted to use all the moves and not worry about trying to find the best techniques. I didn't mind the ridiculous fighting and story elements, but the basic storyline really didn't make much sense.

It's sorta crazy how many enemy types there are. Really suprised about how much work they put into the ending credits.

i have no idea if this little girl is bayonetta or not because at times they make it seem that way UNTIL they show both in the past!

From what I gathered, the kid is Bayonetta, even in the past. The sinner or whatever was actually her mom, who had a kid with that angel person. I think.

I just started playing this today and I have no idea what the hell is going on.
That's exactly what I felt like after playing the demo. I'll still probably buy it one of these days, but not at $60.

I just rented the game and beat the first chapter. I am shocked that this game isn't more popular on here. Great gameplay and over the top antics.

It's amongst my favorite games tbh. It's a little too over the top for some. Get to the part where you fight Joy and tell me that isn't disturbing =P
