Yes they are bullshit - worst part of the game. They're not supposed to be in Bayonetta 2.

Sometimes you're simply not allowed to buy any more items. You can only obtain three smaller lollipops and a single bigger one per type, the Witch Hearts and Moon Pearls are limited in supply and there's more where you're only permitted a scant few.

I haven't received the

the counter resets?

Jeanne
Yep. Each character requires you to start fresh.

Anyone know of an easy way doing the Witchtime Alfheims with Jeanne? They aren't impossible but it's a pain in the ass to trigger it with Jeanne and I'd like to do them reliably with a good rank. Sometimes I still run out of time at the 2 fearless at the end in one of the Alfheims and Selene's Light is useless as it only lasts a second?
I know the story is supposed to be ignored but I can't help thinking about it.
Bayonetta being Cereza came as no surprise to me, maybe I was spoiled before and had forgotten, but it was so obvious.
However I didn't get the bit about Jeanne killing her, I mean was it her? Her mother? Going back in time with her younger self and keeping the watch in her heart meant Jeanne didn't kill her, but then that red gemstone was never made, so how was Jeanne cured from the brainwashing in the future? Was it not thanks to that jewel? And how Jeanne could kill Bayonneta if she lives in the future?
That bit was very confusing.

Beat the game this weekend, clocking over 12 hours.
Got a ton of stone trophies though, but I'll save that for a replay later. Bring on Bayonetta 2!

Hint: the sequel answers one of these questions, although it takes its damn time getting there.
Heh I'm in the part of
fighting mechas in Vigrid
Can't wait to finish it, but pesky things like work get in the way.
Bayo 2 only really explains

?
why is this here and Bayo 2 on community, how does that work?

That's why you play bayo 1 first and get the muscle memory for the traditional control scheme, then swap to scheme B in bayo 2.
IDK, maybe it's under options?
You didn't keep it at default in Bayo 2? You'd rather not be able to lock and dodge at the same time?
Unfortunately it doesn't look like you can do it in the options, unless I'm missing something.
You can get Platinum time without ever hitting forward.

You can use the jump button to dodge when locking on, but unfortunately there's no way to reconfigure the button layout.
Oh! Does that work in Bayo2 as well?
I didn't need to hold lock on. It auto locks for you.
I only used it for some of the launchers. Really I wanted the better trigger for weapon swap.

Yeah it does! It was actually one of the first things I tested when I started the game.

Just beat
(Chap 4). The fighting in this game is really intense. I'm having a blast so far!
My only worries: How will my Pro Controller survive Bayo 1 AND Bayo 2!?

Just got this and Bayo 2 today, started with 1 since I had a PS3 last gen and skipped it. The last game that I played that reminds me of this was DMC 3 and 4 on the PC, IIRC, never played this kind of game on a controller/console.
Did I just watch
That soundtrack too, my god.
EDIT: The list of combos in the beginning...

Question about unlocking
... do I have to update my chapter scores every time?
Sai-Fung
I completed this the other day, the highs were very high but the lows very low. Good game but not something I completely enjoyed. I've enjoyed the first two hours of Bayo 2 more, those that say they've fixed everything in the second game were right, all my annoyances haven't shown up at all yet and the small improvements to the combat are noticeable.
Nope, just finish them.

does alfheim stuff get harder on higher difficulties or is it the same for every mode? i don't remember.

They get harder on higher difficulty modes, yes.

good to know, thanks!
I've been replaying this on hard for quite a while now - reached chapter 9, skipped Route 666 - before starting Bayonetta 2, and I'm this close to giving up. It's way too stressful: when it finally feels like I'm improving, I die because of bullshit I didn't remember or because the game just kicks my ass to no end, and then every chapter results in a stone award and I'm not even compelled to use health items because they subtract from the score... I mean, FUCK! The only weapons I have are the pistols, the shotguns, the sword and the Durgas, and I'm sad that I'll never unlock another. I'm too weak for this game, next please!

do it. bayonetta is awesome.
why didn't they patch out the qte scoring.
You can dodge at any point though, depending on what the situation might require. Dodging before your attack animation even starts is helpful if you just want to quickly reach the later part of the combo, but you obviously miss out on dealing damage from those attacks. Dodging as soon as you get a wicked weave works though, as the animation appears independently of Bayonetta. You can also delay your dodges to the very last moment by prolonging your attacks. So you can dodge at any point while the attack button is held, except for if you hold it for too long and the auxiliary animation ends.
36 hours for a first playthrough. o_o I'm assuming you replayed the levels a lot?
Multiple playthroughs are definitely encouraged. There's tons to unlock, and you'll find that the game only becomes more awesome as you become better.
Glad you enjoyed it! You'll love 2.

Just finished this for the first time. Amazing game really. I was completely terrible at the start and by the end I was getting silver/gold/platinums. Any stone I did get was because of stupid deaths by QTE fail. I will definitely replay it again but I am going to jump into Bayo 2 tomorrow since it seems to be missing the stuff I didn't like from this game.
Yeah, I'm completely the same. Just got 2 deaths at the end of Chapter 2 because of complete nonsense QTEs that were beyond my control. What a joke. This game rocks otherwise, but man, I'm pretty irritated that I went through that whole chapter trying not to die just get instakilled by a QTE.

Finished the game for the first time, great game! And still I feel I just scratched the surface, I guess it's normal to rely on only a handful of combos (in my case using the sword and PPPP-K was my go-to) at first?
Now the question if I should catch up on verses and stuff I missed and rank up from those stone-ranks or just jump into Bayonetta 2...
