Bayonetta 2

blag · 24-10-2014 9:21am

Put the game on at around 8pm last night and ended up playing for 5 hours...

I only played up to the end of chapter IV and then some replaying and tag battles to get enough cash to unlock all abilities and some items.

I need that parry and bat within.:cool:

So far it's exactly what I wanted and has to be one of the best sequels I've ever played in terms of tightening the mechanics and streamlining everything that made the first game so great.

The only negative so far is they ditched Angel Attack

It say order for collection on the 28th I was just about to reserve it before I realised, do you know if they have it now?

Kicked off the download last night, but it got corrupted some how. Might have been due to the auto shutdown.

Kicked it off again this morning, should be finished downloading when I am done with work.

No, I just saw this on their site. Actually their stock checker shows that it's not available anywhere yet.

But for anyone that doesn't mind getting it on Tuesday, it's a very decent price.

Yes good spotting! I don't know if I can wait that long I'm an impulse buyer:-) I was checking smyths and they haven't got it on their website has anybody bought it from them?

sniper_samurai · 24-10-2014 11:36am

Same here.

I was gonna wait till xmas to play this one but seriously some of the videos on it are just jaw dropping. I dont think I'll be able to hold off tbh.

Mind is waiting at work and though I'll be collecting it in the morning I'm not off until Monday, and that'll be a family day

LiamKK1982 · 24-10-2014 11:55pm

Got the special edition today, Bayonetta 1 works fine but Bayo 2 comes up as "Invalid Disc" on the Wii U. Ragin!!!

johnny_ultimate · 25-10-2014 12:04am

My copy is sitting in a Parcel Motel, will be a long day in work tomorrow!

Game arrived today, but Amazon still have not taken any money from my account, has this happened to anyone before, usually when preordering they take the money out before it is shipped?

Almost as good as the time amazon paid me to take a 256GB SSD from them.

Sadly this time they have taken money from me for Bayo 2

Zapp Brannigan · 25-10-2014 12:29pm

Exactly what I wanted from the sequel, more of the same! Ridiculous storyline. Overly sexualised protagonist. Amazing combat system.

Happy out.

wampyrus77 · 25-10-2014 12:40pm

so i m getting question right you all getting it because of sexy protagonist

murphyebass · 25-10-2014 1:17pm

Bayonetta arrived.

Is there any point playin the first one if I've already done so on the 360 or is a direct port?

If there's extra content or whatever I'll give it another go. Otherwise I'll go straight for number two and replay the first one when I've more time on my hands.

As far as I know it is a direct port, but it does have a few new costumes.

no games usually always make sexy girls protagonist or antiprotagonist to make men buy it

Every media uses good looking people to try to make the product more appealing.

johnny_ultimate · 25-10-2014 11:05pm

Played the first few chapters there, and not surprisingly in the slightest it is ****ing magnificent.

My muscle memory started kicking in near instantly, and despite a few tweaks and refinements it's still there - that immensely satisfying combat system. The weight, the grace, the sheer power - Bayonetta once again shows up its competitors in the most definitive manner imaginable.

The presentation is pitch perfect. The vibrancy is frequently astounding, the art design never less that immaculate. It's one of if not the best looking game of the year, another Wii U game that proves good art beats technical limitations (not that it's a slouch in that department). The music too is delightful, its Moon River variation a suitable successor to Fly Me to the Moon (hopefully that will make its appearance).

What an opening too, dialling it up to eleven near immediately. As ever the cutscenes are a mix of hilarious and awful, but when they go for it they're an absolute blast.

Only a few hours in, but Bayonetta is back, and, what, five years later is still in a league of her own.

Ashamed to say I have never even experianced the first game

Is it a must play before even considering the playing the sequal?
BTW I don't have a Wii U but man this is a system seller by the sounds of it.

johnny_ultimate · 26-10-2014 10:14am

It is a must play, point blank! As I said in the Nintendo forum, play them in order so you can experience them in the order intended and appreciate the tweaks and refinements this time around. You are not playing them for the story, so you could happily jump straight into the second, but you'd be denying yourself one of the best games of the last decade if you opt to skip the first.
