Holy crap Bayonetta DRAWS a B and a heart with her bullets if you shoot at a wall? :LOL
This game is so amazing.

Yes, I am aware that it does not run at a perfect 60fps. However, this undermines precisely nothing about my previous point. And I never said I was unhappy with either version (I've defended the PS3 version plenty in this thread), though I'd certainly be happier if the PS3 version was on par with 360.

i know and that makes me sad. Okami is probably the only game i will ever award a perfect score to. Controls were great. the innovative nature of the game was was incredible with the drawing mechanic. the art... well it is art in the truest sense of the word. and the story was amazing. i would murder for a true sequel to that game.

Finally got around to picking up Bayonetta and I'm about four hours in. The core combat is great. Great controls all around. I really don't like the music though. Comes off as very generic, and it's not really a style I like.
Speaking of style, although I don't like Bayonetta's colorful and girly style as much as say, Devil May Cry, I do like the alternate take. Bayonetta being a female, the poses, the color very different color pallet, butterflies, etc. Very unique in today's games.
Not really liking the presentation or story much however. I don't understand all this "Third Sphere" and "Second Sphere" shit. Not really interested in the universe at all. I am interested in Bayonetta's past a bit but I could care less about the war between the witches or whatever is going on.
Definitely notice some subtle Sega touches...A lot of things remind me of Sonic. A few nods to previous Capcom games made me chuckle.
I've found some strange checkpoints and a few frustrations with the save system too.
Overall I'm enjoying it, but I don't think it's quite the godsend that many people make it out to be.

The music is anything but generic. One of the best OSTs this gen IMO. Don't let the fight theme you hear so often skew how good the rest of it is.
And maybe you don't think it's a Godsend now, but I'd like to hear your thoughts after you start unlocking more moves, techniques, weapons, and play on a higher difficulty. This is a game that gives MORE to you the more you give to it.

Also, the framerate makes me scratch my head at times. It runs so amazingly smooth most of the time and then out of the blue it chugs like a train.

Just wanted to let people know that Bayonetta was 9.98 on clearance/sale at Toys 'R Us, and that all clearance accessories/games are 30% off. Bayonetta =$7.60 with .089% Washington sales tax. So, if you're in a cheaper tax state, you're looking at a 7 dollar game with a little change......Awesome!
I already own it, just wanted to give it to my bro-in-law to spread the Incredible.

Stayed up until 5 AM on Sunday beating Bayonetta. For all of the crap given to its offbeat visual design, it's really a pretty great game, and has the best boss fights of the generation by a mile.
Really, my only complains were 1) those whack-ass filmstrip cutscenes and 2) bayonetta's... strange proportions, neither of which have anything to do with actual gameplay.
Playing it all night like I did, I know I missed a lot (I got the shotgun, katana, bazooka tonfas, and the fire claw feet things) so I'm tempted to take a whack at Hard and see how I do.

Well, you are fighting angels, so it might have something to do with this. The angelic enemies were one of my favourite things about the game.

Bayonetta Developer Commentary Part 7 - http://platinumgames.com/2011/05/16/bayonetta-developer-commentary-part-7/
I just finished this... and... I don't even know what to say. I sort of feel like no other game will ever be able to satisfy me again. Every single stage that went by, I felt like it couldn't possibly get any better.
And then came [spoilers]Space Harrier[/spoilers], and it was just a straight, balls to the wall, oh my god I hope this game never ever ends, shot all the way to the credits. All of the credits.
I don't even know what to do now. I'm completely flabbergasted, and left... completely exhausted and satisfied by this game.

Now start unlocking everything you've missed and playing on higher difficulties which is pretty much like upgrading to Bayonetta Ver. 2.
You've only just begun.

I tried doing two of optional portals, and I only cleared one. The first one was nuts. Is there a way to use the summon attacks without building up a chain first?
Also, this game is wonderful, but the SH stage did get on my nerves when I kept dying.
I'm playing the PS3 version, and the framerate doesn't bother me. It gets a little jumpy during cutscenes, that's it.
So far, Cheshire's had all my favorite lines, aside from

Are you talking about the Alfheims? Which #?
And yea, with the patch the PS3 performance was greatly improved. It really only chugs at 2 or 3 points now. One of which is the very beginning which sadly throws off a lot people.

Not sure. It required you to hurt the enemies using just the hair (demon summon) attacks.

I know on launch the PS3 version had issues compared to the 360 one.
Have these issues been rectified? I don't have a 360 and I'm thinking about picking this up for PS3.

I'm not mistaken R1 + <--- ---> + main attack will do this (PS3 version). I can't remember if the motion is a quick forward and back, or side to side. But I was messing around with it yesterday, and it instantly summons the hair.

Well, the framerate got pretty choppy in the final Chapter, but nothing game breaking. Just reminded me of how insane what was going down was.
Best action game ever. Just pure off the walls insanity and awesomeness.

Bought the poor man's version. Dear lord the framerate dropped to unplayable levels in the intro. PS3 port is proof that these type of games don't work on anything other than 60fps. I weep for DmC.
I've played an hour or so. I'm having fun but the performance is really bothering me, even cut-scenes aren't safe, the action set-pieces in them are barely watchable. Framerate is just too cinematic for my tastes. I hope I can get used to it in time.

Still playable and fun on PS3, and cheap enough that it can't NOT be worth it.
The intro sequence and then one more area closer to the end of the game suffer the worst from the framerate issues. Both of those sections end up feeling like they are in slow motion at times.jett said:Bought the poor man's version. Dear lord the framerate dropped to unplayable levels in the intro.

Good lord I'm in Chapter X...whoever says that the framerate issues don't affect the gameplay are really wrong. Route 666 was pretty much ruined, I bet it's immeasurably better on the 360. Often I have trouble reacting to the enemies' attack too, mostly because of the slow framerate. Still fun, but it feels wrong to experience the game like this.
