Viewtiful Joe had style.

Yeah, this.


A complaint of mine is that there are some QTEs, but they aren't too bad. They're rare, and they don't start the level over, just the QTE section. You lose some points and have to put up with some load times, but that's as bad as it gets if you fail. Also, succeeding nets you a bunch of halos, so that's nice. It's also worth pointing out that I've only hit two to four QTEs so far, and one of them I succeeded at on accident. It's a one button press, not MASH X OR DIE MUTHA FUCKA kinda deal.

Wall-walking is totally bitchin, as is the Viewtiful Joe solution to beating flaming enemies. I think Bayonetta had a Viewtiful Joe -esque line, but I didn't catch the whole thing, so I'm not sure.

I am kinda disappointed that I get weapons from turning in records, instead of beating awesome bosses, though.

Also also, the two-headed dragon angel whatever the fuck thing from the beginning makes Bayonetta look like a bitch.

"You've got a face only a mother could love, and that I could never forget. Wish I could remember where from, though."
"Ah well. My apologies. If you are not the one who woke me, then I have no quarrel with you."
Bayonetta proceeds to pick a fight with it.


EDIT: Holy shit, Paradiso is fuckin' gorgeous you have no idea.

This game seriously is everything I want in a package that makes me feel like I need to have all the drapes down and the lights off in my room alone to be able to play it. It's just embarrassingly stupid but Kamiya found a way to make the actual game part of the game liquid awesome.

I'm debating between going and buying it pronto or just putting it on the GameFly queue like normal. Plus Noncon's going to review it so I'm gonna have to either get on that pronto or miss my chance.

Yumil 01-08-2010 04:06 AM

So, I just beat the game on normal. Only got the two LPs they basically give you, so I guess you have to search for pieces outside the ones they give you for the others. Still, the katana was cool enough for me.

I also really suck...most of my trophies are stone, though i did get a few pure platinums, guess I'm much better at boss only chapters.

Spoilers for the end:
Ok, a few things I really love. I love the part where you play Jeanne as she is trying to get Bayonetta out of the eye. Hell, I love all the parts with Jeanne, she's so much cooler than Virgil.

I also love the fake credits where you think oh she dies... was great. Plus I loved the real credits that included fights that added to your score for the epilogue.

I didn't like Bayonetta being Ceraza...Was cool that her actions almost caused the end of existence, but it kind of irked me. It irked me more than killing Jubilea"God" did.


Overall the game is awesome. I dont like half my scores, I havent got most of the weapons, and there are two more difficulties(plus easy and very easy, but I dont really want to play them...) so I've got a lot more replay value ahead of me. Hopefully I can get to a point that Im satisfied before Mass Effect 2.

That's just awesome. :)

I need to play this now. I think my uncle bought it for 360. I'll have to ask him If I can play the next time I go over there.

Only way the game could get awesomer is if we get to go to Inferno before the end.

It gets better. There are so many references to other Clover/Capcom/PlatinumGames titles it is amazing. Not to mention, when you think the game is done showing you new tricks suddenly you can walk on walls or something and YUP IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME AGAIN.

Also, Bayonetta and an enemy have a pose-off. You really don't get better than that.

Yumil 01-08-2010 09:03 AM

I have more evidence this game is awesome. Link to one of the most depraved tortures in the game. Dont go here if you want to be surprised.
Don't click me if you don't want to be spoiledlinky

I just got the demo for the Ps3 and for the life of me, I dunno if it's me or what, but I cannot pull off Bullet Climax.

/edit: This was during the tutorial section.

Kim 01-09-2010 03:17 AM

I'm not trying to be a dick, but it's just that I don't get it for the life of me.
 
Mirai doesn't seem to be enjoying the game, and I'd guess the cinematics are largely to blame. So, with that in mind, I pose a question to NPF, because I've been thinking about it the past two or three days.

What is the difference between Bayonetta's "sexy" and DMC3's "cool"?

DMC3 had terrible dialogue, Dante looked like he'd been pulled straight out of a boy band, and everything Dante did was such a blatant attempt to be COOL that it was nothing more than completely hilarious.

Bayonetta has terrible dialogue, Bayonetta looks like she's been pulled right out of a porn magazine, and everything Bayonetta does is such a blatant attempt to be SEXY that it is nothing more than completely hilarious.

So I guess it's okay to have an teenage girl's embarrassing sex fantasy as a main character, but not a teenage boy's? That seems to be the only difference, so far as I can tell.

EDIT: HRGHBLERGH I give up. Everyone who likes them decided they were funny before the game came out, and everyone who doesn't decided that they were the worst thing ever before the game came out and as much as I think the opinion that opposes mine is that of raving loonies, neither side can really be convinced either way so fuck it.

Yumil 01-09-2010 04:11 AM

The idea is that you know that it's going to be that way from the get go and it leaves you hanging on to see what they are going to do next time. Quite a bit had me laughing just at the ludicrousness of it. I guess I laughed more at Bayonetta than Dante, but yeah it's basically the same thing. Maybe it's because this is the first parody of oversexedness I've really seen or liked, which the too cool thing has been done to death.

It's a novelty.

But, style and story elements aren't what make a good action game float, it's the gameplay and this game has it in spades.
