I'd start on Normal to get the feel of the game and the mechanics. Hard is really punishing in the later levels, it wont be much fun if you've never really mastered the game itself and even other action games which require a similar sort of dexterity and finesse.

Well, you can't initially. It unlocks after you finish the game. I wouldn't recommend anyone start on hard anyway since it has late-game encounters appearing straight away.

Telling someone new to the game to start on Hard (not that you even can) is like handing someone a pot of boiling water and going "Here, I didn't feel like you scalded yourself enough today."

As someone who didn't have much experience in this genre of games I started on hard, quickly dropped down to normal and then later to easy. After getting the hang of it went the ladder back up again, straight to hard , after that back to normal again and finally infinite climax. The game has a good learning curve imo and you should try out differen difficulty-settings.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Bayo's final boss is made awesome by the music and the lead up. The scenario escalates and becomes something totally ridiculous, and the final punch seals the deal. The fight itself isn't anything particularly amazing though.
Armstrong on the other hand is fucking awesome due to the sheer idiocy, hammy dialogue, and the intense one-on-one battle. Beating Armstrong on my first run, on hard, was just so fucking satisfying.

Didn't play the demo cause I wanted to have my first experience to be of the whole package. Got my copy ready for pickup but all my damn work with school plus my job probably means I won't get to play it for a while ;_;

Decided to replay this before starting 2 as it has been a while since I played it. Using the Link costume. Worth it just for the rupees and the accompanying sound.

It's going to make use of just about every button.
Need to fix Australia part.
Australia actually gets Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta in the same case. No Special Edition for us.

Spent a few more hours playing this today. I've finally got back in my groove. I've even started to try and get used to the dodge offset technique as its really useful. I'm not great at that just yet but I think I'll get the hang of it. I've forgotten just how rewarding this game could be once it clicks.
Good news!

Is it me or is this game way harder than the Wonderful 101? To get good scores I mean.
Wait? EU special editions of Bayo 2 don't include Bayo 1 disc but DL code instead?
You bought two First Print editions? Really? Shame on you.

Little pissy this morning. Went to my local WalMart to pick up the game and of course the game did not ship to them. This is not the first time a Wii-U game has not been available in stores on release date and it is getting a bit frustrating.
Did not want to go digital only with the game but it looks like I may be forced to.

Hard is locked until you finish Normal. It's annoying as I wanted to quickly burn through Bayo 1 before 2, but had to select Normal. The game is way more enjoyable on Hard once you have a decent grasp of the mechanics.

I believe you need the Panther Within ability to do the morph ball. So once you have that just double tap dodge
They do, you either buy Bayonetta 2 standalone or you get both games with separate boxes and discs. No vouchers.
Was wondering that too. I'm guessing it replaces Panther form?
Opinions please - I was planning on picking up the physical disk with Bayo 1 and 2 in a few hours and starting with the first since I only got through a few hours of the PS3 version previously. Looking on the eShop though, it looks like I can buy and download Bayo 1 for $30 and then buy Bayo 2 for $30 later down the line. My question is, has Nintendo gotten any better with digital game purchases? As in, if my Wii U bricks for some reason, is it going to be a pain in the ass to get access to download all my games again on a new console? I've just heard lots of horror stories in the past concerning stuff like this.

Somebody please tell me that the Durga-Kilgore-Glitch is still present in the game!
Consider this:
The only difference between Hard and Infinite Climax (the hardest difficulty, think Dante Must Die) is that IC has no regular Witch Time. Otherwise they are the same.
Start on Normal and enjoy the game. Go to a higher difficulty if you want to git gud.
If you have a club Nintendo and nnid tied together, you're pretty much bullet proof.
was it really a glitch though? it seemed like a secret combo to me
Nah, it was a glitch. It literally broke all the boss fights in the game - shooting that many rockets from your feet is definitely not intended.

It also made the game amazingly fun.
And you could easily farm halos with it to unlock stuff on the phone booth.
That's what I thought at first but it doesn't work, still morphing into a panther. Maybe it's only in Bayo 2? I don't remember from which game the video was.

I refuse to use these silly Nintendo costumes in my first playthrough, lol.
Iirc PG said that it wasn't but if you see it in action it's pretty hard to deny.
Cool thanks. leaning towards going the digital route.
Getting the game today, but I really can't decide which of the two games I should play first. I want to play Bayo 2, but I might be convinced to play through 1 first so that the superior sequel doesn't dull its impact.
Either way I fear that whichever one I play second will suffer for it.

Play 1 first, 2 is a direct sequel.
Nothing like instant access. I had to hide the Bayo 2 icon so I'm not tempted.
