Good news that its even longer than Bayo 1, which was a pretty long game. I also wonder how they can outdo the epic bosses from 1. Can't wait to see what this final boss looks like

Alternate told me that my First Print Edition might get cancelled in case they miscalculated how many copies they will get in the end. Gave me 5€ voucher and small chance to still get it. Oh well, if it doesn't happen I will just get the Special Edition, still separate cases for both games.
EDIT: Oh this is the Import Thread... lol.

You won't be disappointed on that front. Trust me.

The physical form of blasphemy
This ended damn near exactly the same way DMC3 ended: the man that has fallen victim to a lust for power, to right previous wrongs done unto him, sacrifices himself to stop the big bad villain...and gets taken over in the process. Even if the cycle repeats, the outcome could be different. The angels are still a problem and Aesir already knows she's going to try and stop him. They could keep with that storyline or take it in an entirely different direction, like Capcom did with DMC4.
Who knows.

Can't wait to replay 1 and play 2 when they hit NA. This is gonna be the first game I pay for full price in a while (usually I wait for price drops or I find a good preorder deal on games online).
Had the game preordered for a while. The gamestop employee told me he didn't think it was worth it. Obviously he's wrong ;D

Maximillian and Michael Damiani are going to be streaming some on GT here soon if anyone is interested, it's just Max and Kyle Bosman talking right now while they're waiting for the game to install, Bosman is leaving soon but said he'd be back later. http://www.twitch.tv/gametrailers

Yeah, I guess so. It was actually quite fitting because
Balder is Basically vergil
I still maintain though if there is another story in that universe, it will either be a prequel or bayonetta wont be the star. Time will tell however.

I am super hyped for this game (I've got the first print edition pre-ordered) but I've never played Bayonetta. I have played and completed MGS: RR, which I really enjoyed because the combat was centered on timing with the parry system and zendatsu rather than stringing button combos together. It suited my gaming skills well. Does Bayonetta have any resemblance to RR's fighting system or am I gonna have to man the fuck up and learn some combos and crazy dodge skills? I kind of suck at Devil May Cry which has me worried!

What I've gleaned from Kamiya's writing style is that, especially after DMC and VJ, he writes in such a way that it's enough to give closure to the story if that game is indeed the end, but there's always room for more if he does get to pen a sequel once more.
If there is a sequel, I'm sure he's left enough options open for himself. But yeah, we'll just have to wait and see.
You'll be fine. At its most basic level, Bayo is more like Viewtiful Joe and Revengeance, where it's more important to learn enemy cues so that you can dodge correctly so you can maximize damage. "Stylin" comes later, as you get more familiar with the game, the options present to you and how all of it flows together so that you can make it work for you.

Well i dont know about the ending, but Kamiya said he developed the story for two games, with them open to make a third game only if there is enough demand, like DMC , where after the prequel they started introducing new characters, and make stories with a different focus, then they made the reboot, i would had been happy with a sequel DMC 4, but its clear they werent sure how to advance the story, whatever happens with Bayonetta, im sure her basic story is over.

I don't know why you are surprised.
Nintendo didn't want to jeopardise sales of that shitty zelda musou game by releasing Bayonetta 2 early.
The full game was probably completed months and months ago. It wouldn't surprise me if it was done at E3.

Well it was the same with the original release and the gap between the JP and US release was larger than a month
in fact all of Kamiya's games until Wonderful 101 were exclusively in English.

Let's not forget Anarchy Reigns didn't even have a US/EU release date when it was released in Japan and the game was fully translated with English text and voice. Even the demo.

After seeing the whole intro, I do gotta say that the Moon River/Tomorrow Is Mine combo is better than the Fly Me To The Moon/Mysterious Destiny tracks.

I think I got what are you trying to say. You mean the game has less stages where you fight normal enemies than the first one and the boss fights ratio is way too high? Please answer me without spoilers, I didn't watch any stream and i will not.
This OT title should be "No one said you could resist".

Nope.
I dumb you will know all the locations of all the LPs with much more exploration.
Besides there better be rewards for completing slight spoilers*

I never understood why people made such a fuss about region locking. I can't read Japanese. But man, I understand it now. I can't believe the Japanese version is fully localized for the west and Nintendo is not releasing the game for another 5 weeks. What's the point?
I watched the entire prologue. It looks so good and so crazy, it's not Christmas without caviar!!! I want to play it now =(

To spread out releases. Hyrule Warriors this month. Bayo next.

That makes sense. Who would buy Hyrule Warriors when you can buy Bayonetta instead.

I won't have it until a few days to a week at least, it's still in transit somewhere.
But once I get it, I'd do coop with you in the evening.

The majority of people who want this game do not give a flying fuck about about hyrule warriors.
Some idiot at Nintendo must of thought the demographics overlapped. Clueless.
Holding back an amazing game to sell a shitty themed musou. Smh.
Thanks for the stream dude, I fell asleep in my chair during the final boss :/

If they dont spread out releases then people would complain about software droughts.

Ive had a 14 month software drought.
Suck it up.
Besides. They could of just delayed Hyrule warriors till October and released Bayonetta in August.
