Well that's a 360 controller, so you're on your way, kid.
Because most of them are bad?

This and then Vanquish in the same year is probably one of the few gaming miracles to come out of this generation.
they're video gamey and nonsensical and stupid and that makes them great.

Only one of the most rewarding gaming experiences I have ever had the fortune of playing.
I'm not even good at it, but I still love it.

because they're long and terrible and you just wanna get back to the fun gameplay

How can you like Bayonetta camp but hate Kid Icarus camp?

how could you want to skip the cutscenes in this
For some reason, I keep going back occasionally and then realizing I'm terrible at it and quit again.

watching bad cutscenes is an action game tradition
then you never watch them again as you replay the game many times at higher difficulties

You're doing it wrong.
Bayonetta has the best fighting style and music of any of the combat action games.

Cutscenes are fine. The film strip things are pretty lame, though. Someone please start posting crazy Bayonetta gifs.
I have to say the cutscenes are really boring and completely kills the pacing of the game, and I usually don't mind cutscenes, but it's worth watching/enduring through to get the general context of the game and at least know wtf you're getting hit the first second right after you skipped them.
There are still some funny moments here and there, but nothing as straight forward and to the point like god hand.

I don't mind the fun cutscenes, it's the long serious ones that kill it.
The game has some super fun mechanics to it, but i can't help but feel like it needed a few more months to iron out the frame rate and fix up the score system. I still play it all the time though. Finished infinite climax on PS3, now I'm working on the 360 version. I wanna get all the extra crap too like all the extra weapons and the secret boss fight...but it's like the game requires you to kilgore glitch to get all those rings.
This is spot on. At the beginning when the cutscenes are just super-dumb, they are awesome. Then the game starts taking itself seriously, and the cutscenes go downhill.

Yup, I'll agree with this. I'm not one for drama so they weren't as fun. When I go through the game now, I usually skip the long and overly dramatic ones.

You're playing one of the most insane, amazing, smartly designed, replayable games this generation. Enjoy it because you'll never look at another singleplayer title the same way.
The cutscenes really are terrible. They go on for far too long, and often they switch from CG to dull animatics because they clearly ran out of budget. The plot is nonsensical anyway. It's like a poster child for game cutscene direly in need of editing. You could chop out 3/4 of the length and have the exact same effect.
I think I would have enjoyed the game a lot more had I just skipped them all. I watched them in the hopes that they would be interesting and it killed the pacing.

This game deserves a sequel. We deserve a sequel. We deserve Hideki Kamiya
Which is exactly why you skip cutscenes. I came to fight, not to watch cutscenes. Horrible cutscenes.
It's "Playable" but it could run below 20fps if I'm not wrong.
It affects it to a way where I need to slow down my buttom mashing for those QTEs inorder to get the game to "recognize" my button presses, not sure what's the deal.

Don't get it. I generally get PS3 versions generally for games not on the PC but for this game specifically 360 version is the only way to go (unless you absolutely have to).

i beat it all the way through infinite climax. the frame rate is pretty disgusting and it's an eyesore to look at, but it's not unplayable. still an awesome game if all you have is a ps3
speaking of other weird little things in the game, several playthroughs later, I just found a katana move where if you don't press anything, she charges up some laser beam? but I've only gotten it to work in underwater sections? anyone know what the hell this is? haha
it pretty much destroyed the flying worm things in one hit

nah, that's the charge slash move. this is like-- hit slash once so she goes to a "ready to attack" stance after, don't press anything, and she starts slowly moving the sword 360 degrees in front of her and a weird glyph appears in front of her, which then flashes, and if you hit attack again, she shoots a beam out. But it doesn't seem to work just anywhere.
Yeah i think it could be the target button, searching a bit on google

You hold RB and stand idle for that, then attack for the giant laser beam. You can do it whenever.

cool. well, that's why i love these games, always new stuff to find.
Those are the ones I commonly see people have issues with, but I've always handled them fine and instead struggle with Fearless and Fairness. They can eat a bag of dicks.
I'd rather fight Glorious and Gracious than those terrible dogs
Those stupid dogs likes to do the air bite, so I hate them, hate theeem, and you can't launch them until their armor comes off or something, I suck fighting them. It's like that stupid shark guy in viewtiful joe.
I could usually hang out in the air and stepping on those glorious and gracious with kilgore feet, and do the typical air combos, just need to avoid the uppercuts, but they're easily manageable and predictable and easy to stun

So, what's the best way to deal with GnG? Those two are jerks.
