I'm gonna have to seriously sit down with Mad World after this. Well not right after, I need to play campaign lol.

 

[Volcynika]

Death ball zero fun when you dont understand it fully :/

 

[SlasherJPC]

Played online for the first time(xbox tag is slasherjpc) DAMNNN that was intense!

Get ball, stay on enemy's side until the bar on top hits the marker, their goal opens, score.

 

[fastballspecial]

Playing Campaign mode as Jack right now. This is totally different and more awesome than I imagined. The attacks hit so hard and are brutal as hell. When I get the feel for the controls I'll start adding people on my PSN friends list.

 

[CronosBlade]

Don't have time to play much, but did start up single player. Did bot match as well. Holy hell the battles, the random crap happening mid match, etc.

I will be playing this for some time.

 

[Mupod]

Campaign mode is surprisingly fun.

yeah I thought it'd just be something to slog through it but it's pretty good and full of God Hand-like craziness. I remember getting a little frustrated at a mission where you need to kill 50 drones but then I realized that you can grab the selfdestructing ones and throw them at their allies. At which point it became explodey robot chaos.

the boss fights are pretty intense since I keep trying to beat them without dying so I can get platinum medals. All this practice with Jack and I have no intention to ever use him in multiplayer...

 

[Teknoman]

How do you trigger the 1 v 1?

 

[Mechazawa]

Man, how the fuck are some of these guys online capable of blocking for thirty years against three people?

HOW. SHOW ME YOUR WAYS.

 

[Volcynika]

Still not grasping the how to handle things. Especially superstar shots which I have no idea if they are blockable or anything.

They are as far as I know, you have to intercept and grab the ball in flight.

My Bayonetta code doesn't work when I try to redeem it.

What should I do?

Read the rest of the thread?

 

[Boss Riovane]

Question is there any incentive to buying on psn rather than a physical copy. Besides no tax is bayo included in digital release?

 

[explodet]

Whew, glad I'm not the only one whose PSN code for Bayonetta doesn't work.
Was holding off on opening my copy until I figured it out.

But now it's too late to play tonight!
I should always check GAF first.

?

The game itself is not available digitally.

 

[Teknoman]

I think I need to block more.

Also does the game have voice chat?

 

[Persona7]

How do you block?

lol

(I turned the game off)

Yeah, it has voice chat.

 

[Vilix]

Yeah, but how do you do the special move that shoots it in the goal? And how do you block that move?

 

[Teknoman]

lol

Yeah, it has voice chat.

lol I just realized I had no abilities. Gotta remember to grab off the ground too.

told y'all

Except when other people do it, then there's nothing I can do about it.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Looks like my key to good multiplayer is just hosting myself.

 

[rikichi]

just got kicked out for no damn reason. lame

 

[NameGenerated]

My PS3 Bayonetta code doesn't work too. Not cool.

 

[ponpo]

Okay done with Survival for a bit, down for invites again (｀_´)ゞ

 

[Eusis]

Doing the tutorial helped me a bit with online play, and I suspect completing the campaign will be similar. So, yeah, at least do the tutorial in case there's tings you're missing, or just to get a feel on some things.

 

[Teknoman]

I'd reinvite, but i've been stuck at the save screen for awhile.

 

[-PXG-]

Get Your Shit Wrecked: The Vidya Gaem

Seriously...

 

[Rickenslacker]

lol sorry for not getting back to anyone, I've been idling on the title screen and got sidetracked by gaffin'/internetin'. I come back and notice 31 invites in my message box. :X

 

[Ferrio]

Did someone make a chat room?

 

[Teknoman]

Not yet, at least I havent made one/received an invite.

You can catch superstar shots if you're the same element as them only but just grabbing them with circle I believe

which honestly I think is pretty dumb, since usually being in a position to catch them is pretty hard in and of itself.

I think deathball is an interesting idea, that doesn't work out as designed.

because usually how it plays out in game is everyone scrambles for the ball.

I usually try to play defense while my team goes after the ball. Stay between the ball and my goal and just be as disruptive as I can.

 

[Retro_]

all you need to know about death ball though

catch the ball and pop rampage

 

[papasmurf1038]

So much fun to finally be able to play something other than Team Battle again! Had a lot of really great matches today.

You can catch superstar shots if you're the same element as them only but just grabbing them with circle I believe.

Nah, you don't have to hit circle, you just have to run into the ball as a character of the same element. The big dudes' shots are unblockable, but they only cross about half the field.

You're right that it can definitely be a bit rough when no one is passing the ball though, I guess I've just been lucky about finding good lobbies.

 

[Ferrio]

So people can break your combo with the aoe attack? That's kinda bullshit.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

It's awesome to see people over here finally able to enjoy the game. I'll be joining up in the online modes within the next few days. Need to get my Anarchy legs back.

 

[Data West]

I don't know what it is, but I really really love Rin Rin's design. It's not even like 'aw yeah she's hot', I just think she looks cool.

Make her a skin for Bayonetta 2

 

[Mechazawa]

Only if the combo allows them to touch the ground.

 

[Ferrio]

Only if the combo allows them to touch the ground.

Ah so find a launcher eh?

 

[Riposte]

Does dying and being revived via "retries" (I get 3 in this one mission it seems like) disqualify you from getting the "Max Anarchy" achievement?

 

[Teknoman]

Am I missing something on how to beat a boss on the first try? Hard mode, I barely got Mission 1 down to 25% left after 3 tries.

 

[iclash]

My PS3 code from Gamestop did not not work, so sound's like I should just try again tomorrow? Otherwise, this game is great even though I'm not sure what I'm doing/button-mashing

 

[Retro_]

If that's the no death completion one then yes.

but like Bayo and Vanquish you can cheese it by quitting to main menu and reloading from previous checkpoint.

If you retire from the mission though it still counts and you're fucked permanently for that playthrough

Nooooooo x_x lol you've got to be some sort of super pro to beat mission 01 white side on hard with no retries.

 

[Volcynika]

Since my friends' codes didn't work, we did regular survival instead of mad survival. Fun stuff, though we barely even got to Cthulu on that one map!

 

[Retro_]

Nooooooo x_x lol you've got to be some sort of super pro to beat mission 01 white side on hard with no retries.

I wouldn't go for the achievement on hard

It's doable but there's no point.

Yeah trying to do that on hard will make you hate the game.
