It’s funny. A lot of PS3 owners are “boycotting” the game, thinking it’ll give Sega the message that we won’t accept subpar ports and then convince them to do a better job on their next title.
That’s retarded. That’s going to get the opposite result by telling Sega that you aren’t interested in the game and that they shouldn’t waste resources in the future by allocating them to projects people don’t want.
The correct thing to do is to buy the game to show them that there is demand for it and that it’s worth their time to make games for us.
But people are stupid and never listen to me anyway. :bluu:
:wonder: Yeah song is awesome, I’ve karaoked it (with Martini in hand) many times. Two of my favorite versions are:

I just finished it today, game was pretty awesome. Hard mode, here I come… dood!
It’s not a stick-friendly design because a lot of moves involve holding a shoulder button and then pressing another button. Also, the game has different functionality for the analog sticks and the directional buttons, so you’ll have to have three sticks on your stick to play effectively.
This makes me kind of disappointed with his decision not to make it for PS3, but it (as well as today’s new scans of Poseidon and Hades) also makes me more excited for GoWIII.
Why should people buy the PS3 version? You can’t say that buying it wouldn’t send them the message that it’s okay to make terrible ports, and it’s not like Sega cared about giving PS3-only owners a quality experience anyway.
It’s way more than just load times. The graphics look absolutely terrible on the PS3 version and the framerate is low and unstable enough that it affects gameplay.
Graphics look fine on my version and it’s just like having a PS1 again if you think about it.
I’m mad that Platinum and Sega let this port thing go through without making a statement or apology or anything, but game is very much playable and entertaining.
It’s not like the PS3 has gamebreaking features that renders it unplayable. People are simply bitching because it doesn’t look good. Not because it plays worse, because it doesn’t look good
sure there’s the load time and a few slowdowns but overall the game is still enjoyable. I admit Sega is at fault when it comes to being lazy to porting, but come on. People these days are ready to complain about graphics and not gameplay in almost everything that drops.
Buying it will very much send them the message that PS3 users matter because their sales and operations and marketing departments will only see the sales numbers. Bigger numbers means greater resource allocation in the future.
There have been complaints about the gameplay being affected because of those slowdowns, and I can imagine the PS1-level loading being bad enough to deter people from going for Platinum ranks or the three-hour speedrun.
So then people should just accept the horrible port? Either way, PS3 owners are being screwed over here. It’s a no-win situation.
Maybe you are surprised to hear about it but not that he actually said what he said because it makes perfect sense to me.
Without God of War we wouldn’t have any of that crazy climatic ish we see in action games today. At least not how it currently is.
DMC then NG then GoW and now B.
Each game pushed the third person action genre in a better direction. Devil May Cry for practically starting it. Ninja Gaiden for doing something a bit different gameplay wise and showing that super hard challenge is ok. God of War brought back QTEs from Shenmue and climatic battles and set pieces. B does all the shit those games did before it but the refinement to the formula is so fucking solid and the fluidity of the combat is so perfect that it too feels fresh in the genre.
I showed a friend this game and this was his comment about me playing: “I honestly don’t know what’s going on.” I love that. Because even though I know exactly what’s going on at any moment it looks crazier than what it really is. Love this game.
I haven’t had a single problem with frame rates while in battle. I’ve only really had slow down outside of battle and in those times I could cares less. During fights. Silky smooth. The loads are a bit annoying but i got over it. It’m playing to relax and have a good time. I’m not in such a rush I can’t kick back for a minute while the game loads. To me thats so seriously impaitent. The loads during menu’s now that’s a bit frustrating but for a level? Whatever not THAT big a deal. I SSed DMC3 and delt with that games load times. If I could do that 3 or 4 years ago or whatever it was then I can do it now for a game that plays this well.
man the graphics on the PS3 version do suck… and it makes me really sad. when i look at the 360 version and compare it to the PS3 version i’m just like wow… it’s too mindboggling how much better the 360 version looks and plays and its really a bummer for a strictly PS3 guy (me). the 360 version of Bayonetta graphically looks like DMC4, the PS3 version looks like a fucking PS2 game (late gen PS2 game mind you) in some parts and thats just unacceptable in this day and age.
not getting the same experience as the 360 version is so retarded, it irks me. i wish Platinum Games would have just tried to do the port themselves, surely they fucking know how to code for the PS3… PS3 is a few years old now, theres no excuse for that shit anymore. they should have done it themselves even if it meant delaying the release date or something or handed it off to someone more experienced because Sega really dropped the ball on this one.
I don’t see how slowdowns make the gameplay unplayable. 360 has some slowdowns during gameplay but it’s not Dynasty Warriors 3 bad. The loading thing really isn’t a issue. At least the game gives you a chance to fool around with the weapons during the load times. Most games don’t give you shit to do and basically nothing but “Loading…” to look at.
and the port isn’t horrible. Bad? yes. Horrible is like saying the game has so much going against it. If the Japanese can buy the inferior port and still enjoy it, don’t see why people in the states can’t do the same.
Considering Sega KNOWS the PS3 port is inferior to the 360 is already a start when a sequel hits.
It makes sense and I understand his love forthe cinimatic feel of GOW, it just seems strange to me that h holds it to such a high standered cause outside of playing well (Good responsive controls, music blah blah) it’s a pretty shallow “action game”. I’ve said it before but to me GOW doesn;t really feels like an action game and it’s place in the genre feels forced to me. GOW feels like an a more action intensive zelda game to me. exploration and puzzle solving are huge elements in GOW that are missing from Action games that tend to have puzzles as complicated as “Insert key into slot A, done.” It’s combat is hsallow, its foes aren’t very complicated. I dunno from an action game standpoint I just always thought Kamiya would find it kind of boring and shallow.
Edit: Man not to be an ass but it’s really hard to take any opinion that says PS3 Bayonetta looks like a PS2 game seriously. The particle effects alone in this game are beyond the PS2.
by the way, does this game have jump canceling at all? tried it but it’s not really working out, is there a skill you have to acquire to jump on enemies or something like Table Hopper in DMC4? i love DMC so much i miss the insane JC’ing with Dante/Nero =[
i was looking at some videos of people using the whip weapon (Kulshedra i think it’s called?) and it seems like you could use that to reset your jump to fly high to the sky… i’ve never used that shit once yet, i love the Katana/Durga combination too much. how do you grab someone with the whip like i seen in videos? is it hold triangle or something? shit reminds me of the Devil Bringer kinda.
Yes you can jump off enemies like in DMC (A couple Afeilheim Challenges revolve around doing exactly that) it’s just not as rapid fire as it is in DMC and frankly thats a good thing. so bored of JC crap. Shits so boring.
