well the loading screen i have no problem with since i feel the same way lol. But the load times in between cutscenes and fuckin PAUSE menu, i find it a bit irritating.
Those red and blue angels with the claws (Grace and something, forgot the names) are brutal:wasted:
Grace and Glory. Just wait. You haven’t seen Gracious and Glorious.
Don’t worry, when I beat the game I was saying the same thing!!
ok so I’m in a stone corridor with a grace and glory set then a second set right after. It generally takes my entire lifebar to beat one set so I need help, I don’t understand how to beat them in any decent fashion. Nothing seems to stop them, I can’t combo them, so it’s like wtf am i supposed to do
edit: Scratch, that I finally did it, but any tips to beat them more efficiently are welcome
Aren’t those the two bad guys who have claws and rape powers?
Anyway I’m still struggling with a solid strategy and what I’m seeing is WITCH TIME all the time works the best. Also, keeping your distance helps. I use the Snake Whip and Fair Guns. I was trying to use the claws but the HOLD attacks are just too slow for these guys.
So yeah I’ve played this game up until Chapter 8 because I have to work in the morning and I was falling asleep while playing.
This game really doesn’t have any down sides. It can get difficult but it’s the kind of difficult where YOU are being reckless and the game is just doing what it’s doing. Like I kept starting boss fights over from the top if I died instead of continuing. By the end I had their shit memoriezed and was dodging way better, and in general I feel like that’s how this game works period. They know you are going to get sucker punched right at the start of the match (like when you meet Joy and she immediatly hits you) but you know that you can dodge shit and turn the tide in your favor.
This is definitly Clover/Platnium’s best game. It’s the epitome of the hardcore action game.
Against Grace and Glory, just anticipate their attacks and witch time try not to go crazy and combo them to death. Hit them with the Kitana’s PKP or any short combo after witch time.
I might buy this game but is it a short game?
learn to dodge more for Witch Time. That’s the only way i’ve found to beat them easily.
If they juggle you DMC style in the air, you CAN dodge any of their air juggle hits. So don’t just sit there watching 80% of your health bar go down for free. If you got air dodge, dodge that shit and counterattack.
I honestly dunno the best weapon against them. I find the sword so far does decent against Grace/Glory and the hound dogs. I tried using the opposite of Durga for each element (you know…fire against electric vice versa) but didn’t seem like it was doing any big difference.
but yea. Do more dodging for witch time so you can either kill them quicker or hit their ass with a Punishment.
also…I want my fuckin bazooka tonfas. NAO.
I use the sword too much mostly because it feels a lot like DMC controls and well I finished all 4 …
Yeah smarter dodging seemed to be all you can really do against them, but what about infinite climax mode where you don’t get witch time =/
This.
Mannnn I’m having a blast with this game. I stopped after finishing chapter 9 just now. Grace and Glory are rough, but I think a trio of Joys (Seraphim class angels!!! TOP rank shit!) are even more dangerous. I’ve only recently grown accustomed to at least one part of their attack style. It’s hard to even dodge any of their stuff so far…except that one part I’m familiar with now (it’s when she does 3 whips quickly… I’m not even sure though, of course I’m just “wingin’” it so far without digging too deep into strategy/tactics just yet.)
*This is already a strong contender for “Game of the Year”, folks… and we’re not even finished with January yet. It’s just insane… the game is WAY too good. heh, I actually busted my finger up this morning at work, but I was still determined to play through the pain.
Enlighten me please?
Also wtf are an SPU and PPU?
Abridged version:
PPU: a processing unit in the Cell BE chip that’s mainly used for high-level overhead function. The PS3’s chipset has one of these, and it’s supposed to be used in conjunction with…
SPU: a processing unit in the Cell BE chip that’s really, really fast (3.2GHz) but is optimized for mainly low-level calculations. The PS3’s chipset has seven of them, but one of them is locked and unusable. Ideally, your game would use the PPU for a few things but push most of the calculations and stuff to the SPUs. Then all the PPU would have to do is push data back and forth, so it really doesn’t need to be very fast (and it isn’t because of this).
Bayonetta uses the PPU only, which is why it has performance issues.
Rumor has it that the Cell chip being planned for PS4 will have 31 SPUs. Hopefully by then developers will actually be using them. :lol:
Here’s the long version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_BE
EDIT: And to just lightly touch on why a lot of people are saying the 360 holds back PS3 development and probably why Bayonetta only uses the PPU, the Xenos chipset of the 360 uses a modified PPU, so if developers make the 360 version first and then straight port it, it’s basically all PPU (PPE, technically, which consists of the PPU and some other stuff).
Hmm I think I got the jist of it, thanks.
BTW is it true you can play with alt. outfits?
there’s a whole ton of alternate outfits. Everything in “Rodin’s Treasures” in his shop is a costume
Also Shotgun blasts stun Grace&Glory’s stronger golden forms with relative easy so I’m assuming G&G themselves are even easier to stop with shotguns
Does anyone know if this game is a lengthy at all? I dont want it to be a 4 hour campaign for nothing.
I noticed DSP and his fans hate this game so far…
in all honesty it depends on you as a player. Are you good at these type of games? so far i am like 7 1/2 hrs in and about a little past the half way mark according to the achievements.
but i have to say i am glad i got this game, i havent had this much fun with a game since ACII came out. being a gamer in my late 20’s it take certain type of charm in a game to grab my
attention now a day’s and this game had me sitting playing the xbox 360 all day yesterday.
Holy shit, if you KO with the shoulder check move(Tetsuzanko), she says “Juunen hayai wa yo!” which means “You’re ten years too early(to defeat me)!” lol
well, from what others have said, if you’re good at these kind of games it could be 6-7 hours, if your’e like the rest of us, then you’re looking about 13-14.
Either way there is a ton of replay value with higher difficulties and lots of weapons/accessories/costumes to unlock
I knew I would enjoy this game, but didn’t think it would surpass my expectations.
Action, sex appeal, and humor in the same game? well, it works well all together when its over the top. Had my moments of shock and laughter from begining to end. the bosses were the most epic boss fights i’ve played, haven’t had that much fun playing against bosses since chrono trigger and KH2.
definitely a worthy full price buy.
goddamn, I actually finished this game in one sitting. 12 hours
