Bayonetta

Got the Climax Edition of said game and must I say...

I love the game. Especially their take on the song 'Fly Me to the Moon'

The replica Scarborough Fair gun could have done a little bit better in the painting department.

The PS3 version isn't too bad, although the 360 version looks a bit better from what I've seen as the former is a port of the latter. The PS3 version slows down a fair bit in certain places. Not sure if the 360 has that problem either.

ProTip: Done by the guy who did Devil May Cry, hell, there's a trophy/achievement called 'Angel May Cry'

Your thoughts people?

I haven't actually played it, only watched it being played, but the 360 version definitely looks better, noticed a hell of a lot of slowdown on my friend's ps3 version >_>

Otherwise, looks pretty awesome xDD

I should download the demo - I hear the gameplay is very similar to the DMC series, but from videos the combos look really amazing with her weapon being her hair and all.

Yeah agreed about the guns paint job. I got the 360 version and just finished it last night. The game starts out slowly but really picks up at the half way point. I feel that some of the on-the-rail shooter sections went a little to long. But really cool ending and great way to start the gaming year. Certainly the best game of its type.

Pfft, finally someone makes a topic for Bayo'.

I've been wanting to play this game ever since it was announced a year and a bit back. <3 Sadly, for lack of a PS3, I /still/ haven't played it...

But whatever, I've watched all the cutscenes and a lot of gameplay videos on Youtube. I know what I'm missing out on~

Is anyone else amused by the sheer number of references in it?

I especially like Luka's little speech about why Bayonetta shouldn't kill him. xD I must say, I'm a little envious of his list of girlfriends-- Claire Redfield, Trish, Silvia, Amaterasu...?

On another note: daaamn, I wanna cosplay Bayonetta's kimono outfit. x3

I saw this in the conept gallery last night, is it unlockable for use? It looked so cool.

Yep, you can get it after finishing the game on normal~~~

I like the pink version of it best. *0*

Have fun buying all that~! =D

It looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I really want to play it, will probably rent it soon. Err. After Mass Effect 2 is done. And maybe after Bioshock 2. And FFXIII. So maybe in April. Yeah, April sounds good.

Is it better than the God of War series (game play wise)?

I loved the reference to Space Harrier (music and all) in the game as well. I did not expect that and as a fan of Sega games, I know I loved it.

I just got the demo in the xbox magazine disc. AMAZING. Its a little difficult...probably because ive been playing shooters and racing games for the last while...but really good.

@Le_Sabotour I know eh. There are so many good ones coming out in one group. Grrr. Also want Darksiders ^^

It is definitely a more solid game in the visual department on 360. And that's from a sony biased reviewer Razz

so you know it's true.

All in all I'd say to anyone on the fence about it it's a rent in my opinion. By no means is it bad, but I found it short and rather run-of-the-mill in both story and difficulty.

Though that said I think it says good things about games to game in 2010 considering how early such a solid game has come out.

I infinitely preferred Darksiders personally.

By UnforgivinAngel. 19/01/10, 04:08 pm

I picked this game up without any intention of buying anything when this first came out.
I was in the Warehouse, saw it, contemplated, decided what the hell, and haven't regretted it since.

It gives me something to do besides Modern Warfare 2.

PROTIP: The 360 version is less censored than the PS3 version, so from a 15 year olds point of view: FOR THE WIN.

This is WAY late, but I just borrowed it from the library and WHOAH.

I like how each level tops the last one. You think what you just did was really cool, but then you get to do something BETTER.
