Topic: Bayonetta 2, now with twice as much Bayonetta

[Fatty The Hutt]

You just keep going on about it.
And not in a lovable-IanSane-I've-been-repeating-the-same-negative-crap-for-12-years kind of way.

It's the only thing to talk about on Wii U these days. I said a lot of nice things about Mario Kart 8. I imagine I'll have nice things to say about Smash Bros as well (though to be fair I've never really enjoyed any Smash Bros game).

Talk about sales in the Official Sales thread.

Don't **** up other thread with sales talk since that's not what they're about.  Either talk about the actual game in this thread or just don't post at all.  It's really that simple.

[BranDonk Kong]

I only mentioned sales one time in this thread. That's hardly shitting up the thread.

[NWR_insanolord]

Discussing the sales of a game in its specific thread is a perfectly legitimate thing to do.

Is it though? Who the hell are you to say what can and can't be said about the game? Considering this is the Bayonetta thread, why the hell would Bayonetta 2 sales numbers be off limits?

[BranDonk Kong]

First rule about Fight Club: Don't talk about the sales of Fight Club.

[Stratos]

I thought the Fight Club game sold terribly?

[BranDonk Kong]

No one would never know, since talking about sales of that game in threads about the game is strictly forbidden.

Who are you to make such a decision?

Nintendo producer Yamagami in the end basically said that there will be more Platinum Games collaborations in the future.

Bayonetta 3, Vanquish 2, Wonderful 1001 or anything really -- i will be there day one.

Bayo 2 demo is up!.. On EU eShop so far...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE7QjA7bLG4&feature=youtu.be

[Adrock]

I'll download this when I get home from work. Apparently, the demo has a 15 use limit. Goddammit, Nintendo...

[azeke]

Impressions:

• "Remaining uses: 15" -- **** you Nintendo. I guess i will keep my console on until full game hits then.
• Adjusting to Wii U gamepad takes a while and some of the actions are remapped a bit. That's what you get after playing 200+ hours of Bayonetta 1 on xbox controller.
• No abilities, no tetsuzanko or afterburner kick or weapons unlocked it seems D:
• Occasional jaggies D: It wasn't as pronounced in first game because environments were all very rounded and never had any straight lines in them (Vigrid which has a very 30-40s look and Paradiso where everything is natural and circular). While in the demo we have an urban city and skyscraper lines have very visible jaggies.
• Very smooth though -- feels better than first game already, or maybe it's warmer colour pallette...
• Combos are rehashed significantly -- i can't find my favourite combo with roundhouse sweeps that i use for cheesing levels.
• Many of new combos suddenly have launching finisher hits (not Wicked Weaves)

And most importantly:

HOLY **** I AM PLAYING BAYONETTA 2

HOLY ****

[BranDonk Kong]

It's better than Capcom's 3-play limit for the Dead Rising 3 demo on Xbone.

SWEETMOTHER! THIS GAME! I haven't played a game like this in quite sometime. THANK YOU!

[Ymeegod]

Just finished up the demo --three gold metals first playthrough.  Evade works to well, all you have do is smash the evade button until witch time happens then switch to attack.  A bit to much QTE's for my liking and I still hate the "new" Bayonetta look. 

[Adrock]

I finally played through the demo. I had no idea what was going on. I kind of just attacked and dodged when the game let me, but there's so much **** flying every which way that I had trouble figuring out how much of it I was causing.

I'm not very good at these types of games, but as long as I can manage to get through each stage, I'll be happy. I have no interest in earning Pure Platinum medals, mostly because I'm fairly confident that I can't. I button-mash a little, and that's good enough for a Silver Medal. With some practice, I'm sure I'll get better. I'm not putting the time to perfect stages. I'm okay with that.

I really like Bayonetta, the character. She's so delightfully over-the-top. I'm still going with this being satire because it just works so well. I mean, the alternative is that this is all serious, and that hasn't worked out so well for these guys in the past.

I choose not to take Bayonetta seriously, and I think that's what makes her a fun character. "It's not Christmas without caviar." Haha, okay, Bayonetta.

Hoping after watching this i will be able to Pure Plat the demo...

If you want to take a quick glance into the complexity of Bayonetta's scoring system (with combo and medals) check out this tutorial:

It's for the first game, but it should also work for Bayo 2 as well.

It even works for W101 because it's scoring system is extremely similar to Bayo's

I don't have speakers where I'm watching part of that and so I turned on the CC from Youtube.  Oh my.  This video has a very interesting engrish of a Closed Caption.  As in talking about the number of Catholics you can get.

[ShyGuy]

I stoned it through my first playthrough and got bronze-bronze-stone on my second try. This demo is 10x better than the first Bayonetta demo.
