Bayonetta thread? Bayonetta thread

Aw, Bloody Fate wasn't good? (No spoilerssss please.) I wasn't really expecting it to be to be honest, but I'm such a Bayonetta whore, I really would not mind. :l
 
Bloody Fate was okay for me. 6/10. The animation was beautiful, but the action scenes felt underwhelming.

Aw, Bloody Fate wasn't good?
That's an understatement.
Without giving any specifics, it manages to be too short (hour and half running time) and still feel like it's dragging itself. This because there's too much needless yammering and little action...and what little action there is, is very lackluster. The executions are longer than the fights themselves.
Of the 4 Auditio, only Temperantia and Fortitudo appear and of those 2, only Temperantia fights and the fight is awful - Temperantia just stands there pew pew pew'ing through its tube fingers. Also, both of them are OBVIOUSLY made in CG, making them stick out like a particularly sore thumb.
And on the matter of cutting corners, they do a huge ass pull in the end so they can avoid drawing a detailed Jubileus, so she's basically Dural with a lampshade on her head.

The longest "fight" is against a Irenic, so yeah. :/
The story also has a crummy pacing - it gives away practically every major plot point right off the bat and there's no sense of "growth".


Anyway, since we're talking about enemies that don't appear in Bloody Fate, Platinum's blog just updated with a entry about some of the new enemies in Bayonetta 2 - http://platinumgames.com/2014/08/08/enemy-design-in-bayonetta-2-pt-1/
Always a interesting read (and certainly one of my favorite aspects in the series).
 
Am I the only one who doesn't look at the gameplay vids and such? I don't want to see anything! I want to be completely mesmerized when I have the game in my hand.
Me too. I've only allowed myself to view a very small amount of stuff for the game. I still haven't watched the fight between Bayo and the new rival character, and I don't plan to until I am the one playing it.

Way they spoil everything, you can tell that even though the folks at P* left Capcom, the Capcom hasn't left them. :P

And, according to the Wikia, there will be common demon enemies.

They have a very futuristic look about them, almost like they could be in Vanquish. Bayomecha doesn't seem all that weird now...
 
Found an interesting foreign-language video with exclusive content. Don't watch if you don't like potential spoilers, though.

 
Definitely worth it. I paid $70 for the first OST, so getting this is caaaaaaaaake. Anything Bayonetta is worth it.
 

EARLY MORNING BAYONETTA HYPE
RISE AND SHINE
 
I'd love to play Bayonetta 2 as I loved the first game, but I still see no reason to invest in a Wii U when it has nothing else to offer.

Pikmin 3? Super Smash Bros. 4? Pokken Tournament? Earthbound? Hyrule Warriors? Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem Crossover? Star Fox? Xenosaga Chronicles X?

Still not enough?

Also the WON STOPPABLE WONDER FULL WONDERFUL ONE DOUBLE OHHHHHHHHHH
 
nope.avi

I hope that is just sarcasm or stubbornness lol. If not, different strokes for different folks. I am curious to what consoles you have and the games you play.
 
I have no consoles at the moment. Consoles cost money and I certainly don't have a lot of that. Nothing much is catching my interest lately and given the opportunity I'd probably replace my PS3. But I have other thing on my wishlist right now. Sorry but there isn't anything else Nintendo is offering right now that really catches my interest. I'm not in position to buy a console for one game. Especially a console from a company that refuses to make a proper controller.
 
Whoa man
The Wii U Controller feels amazing
Trust me it looks clunky but it fits your hands like magic
Grooves on the back for your hands and everythang
I even shared it with some skeptics I know and they couldn't put it down

But hey whatevs

Also the PS3 is totally a console

Well yeah the PS3 is a console, I used to have one but it was lost in a fire and never replaced. I was just thinking I'd replace it if I could, but honestly I don't even know what I want to do about that right now. I'm not even playing a lot of games right now anyway. So I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud. I just know that I got a Wii and I just really didn't have that much fun with it.

Aside from playing old Metroid...
 
Ah okay I misunderstood you
So you have a Wii huh

Um
Paper Mario and Phoenix Wright series
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kirby's Return to Dreamland
Okami
Super Mario Strikers
other stuff

It's just some of the things I have personally can't remember it all but Wii is pretty enjoyable if you let it be methinks
 
Oops
Clawsome messes up words again it seems

You what would fix this situation
A Wii U
 
This woman needs all the hugs in the world. Jesus Christ, fucking fires fuck up everything. Fuck fires.

Bayonetta 2 from Platinum Games and Nintendo is coming out for Wii U in Japan in just a few weeks. Right now, using the Junaio augmented reality app for iOS or Android, you can make Bayonetta pop up and dance.

After you download the Junaio app search for "bayonetta2" to get dancing Bayonetta. If you put her nearby a pole shaped object she’ll do a pole dance.

Twenty fans that post images to the Bayonetta 2 contest page will win QUO cards worth 1,000 yen.

At least Bayonetta is kinda enough to reward Mario unlike Peach.​

This and Bayonetta alone worth the Wii U.

Also Wonderful 101.

Oh, my god...the Star Fox ears...

I gotta admit, the Pixie cut is still growing on me ; Bayonetta does look a bit younger/prettier with longer hair but hey...change is good. Change is good.
