Bayonetta Thread

[Dark Chaotix]

Use this thread to talk about anything Bayo.

So how has it?!?! I just got mine and about to play it. I got the Climax edition with the replica gun so yeah so happy.

The game plays OK on the PS3, but I feel it could be better; the whole framerate drop is BS, as when you actually battle enemies, so long as you focus properly and play it right, you'll be able to get platinum or gold most of the time.
For that matter this game is fun, you being a DMC fan will prob. love it as it's like DMC taken to the next level.
I haven't gotten far into the game myself (playing Demon's Souls ATM ^_^; ) but I hear the farther you get in the more awesome this game is.

BTW in the intro video at the start of the game...they're not talking about THAT guy; just some random dude that passed away.

Well being sega it could a sly reference but I doubt it. Prob find out later in the game.

Ive played the demo heaps I can see the changes that they made which is subtle.

Yeah the frame rate is abit shit but its because the port isnt good. The game was meant for xbox only then last minute they made it a ps3 game aswell and you would think that it would be better on ps3 given that the media is bigger but no. Everyone was hoping the non jap version would get revised but that didnt happen either. In saying that I dont have a real problem with it, besides the loading...like wtf loading for option menu

Demon souls isnt out in AUS and not sure if there is going to be a PAL version, if not ill have to order a copy cos im dying to play it....

Well Sony are said to be working on a patch to fix the problems with the PS3 port, so look forward to that!

[Dark Chaotix]

Im on the actually Platinum forum and I dont recall them saying that there is a patch for it, nor anytime soon....

[Mai~Crimsonheart]

the game is fantastic !!!!! I love it !!!!!  its like a walking wet dream !!! i swear, i wish if DMC was like that ... the action just keeps you IN the game ... and the climaxes are just ... orgasmic

I doubt Sony would have anything to do with the actual patch development itself. Either Platinum or Sega (who actually screwed up the PS3 port) would be the ones doing the patch.

[Tizoc]

Hmm maybe I worded it wrong? It might be Sony working WITH Platinum/SEGA so that a patch is made to fix the frame rate issue; not Sony themselves doing the patch.
So the patch would be released by Platinum with assistance from Sony. I think what the patch will do is make the game use most of the PS3's processing abilities.

Here is my short review with my experience on the game (XBox360 version also applied):

Pros (+)
-Spectacularly fluid, sexy animations
-Combat system is flexible and fluid, the best in my experience IMO
-Memorable boss fights
-Great jazzy and upbeat soundtrack score

Cons (-)
-Rather humble voice acting, but at least its not annoying, rather adds to the enjoyment
-Quite expensive DLCs (you'll see that pretty soon and if you own the Japan version of the game)
-Some camera issues
-Slowdown and load times are a bitch (especially the PS3 version)

Overall, the game is very impressive despite the issues it experiences on the PS3 version. 9/10

I just bought it today for PS3, should be in my hands in a couple of weeks.
It's a real shame US didn't get any special edition  .


EDIT: Hey Dark Chaotix, can you describe a bit the Scarborough Fair replica?? Does it have moving parts?

I'm planning about getting it on ebay.

This is what it looks like. Im a bit disappointed because it is heavy (a bit or weight on it and it doesnt feel like plastic) but the paint job is horrible. They could of done a better job on it in that respect.

TBH i havent open my unit but i looked at the one at was on display at retailers and Im certain that there is no moving parts besides the keyring on the gun itself. My gun will stay in the box unopened.

If you are a hardcore fan its worth it, but if not then save your money. I like it for what it is and the art book is good too.

My copy arrived today, but the SF hasn't arrived yet (due to late delivery issues). My gun was a free preorder bonus though.

[Dark Chaotix]

Well Finally finished it....Its such a good game but in the later level you see the issue with framerate really bad which sucks but still playable to an extent

I just cant believe how similar it is too DMC yet they deny that they DMC was an influence.

Now to get the rest of the trophies and do it on hard and climax level.

BBW means something completely different now.

BREAKDANCING BULLET WITCH.

Love this game totally. Got it on the PS3, and the framerate hasn't bothered me yet. But then again, I'm a patient person.

[Dark Chaotix]

Didnt really bother me either but near the end of the game those stages will get annoying. Ironically, the slowdown helps to get witch time in some cases ive found.
