lol I didn’t even know that timed input shit was in the game till I fought that two headed dragon thing. I was just watching the fight transition when i was in the air and i reached for the remote to pump up the vol for the “expected” part two of the fight and all of a sudden i realize I’m dead and I had no idea why.
I just wish those button presses did not require u to mash on the controller like a retard. Fuck that stupid shit.
The one thing DMC has over this game in spades is the designs. So far the bosses and stuff don’t match up to the stuff u see in past dmc games.
Yea that’s why I mentioned that the window for them felt really fucking small. They seem to flash up on the screen and then gone in an instant and if you don’t nail em just right your fucked which is pretty annoying. Also this may not be an issue for guys like Sep but it’s been a real problem for me this gen. I don’t own an HDTV. I really don’t have much money. I saved for 2 months in order to buy Bayonetta due to how little money i have left after my bills an shit so I’m still rockin a old ass SDTV. With how fast some of these prompts flash by and how small they are sometimes it’s hard for me to tell which button I’m supposed to hit. It’s an issue with text as well Anthony Redgrave’s journals are hard to read on my TV. it’s like the screen flickers making the text hard to read. The subtitles are tough to cause they seem to blend into the details on the screen making them hard to read.
I think we are still in a transition period where devs need to remember that not everyone owns an HDTV and need to continue making the basics of their games able to be viewed by everyone despite the TV they may own. It’s really dumb that in MGS4 half the time I can’t tell what Ammo i’ve picked up cause the letters are so fucking small I can’t read them. It’s really frustrating and hampers my enjoyment.
I just don’t like QTEs in general in Action Adventure games. Especially when they don’t even tell you about them. GoW at least tells you. Outside of the torture/boss endings, no one knew anything about RE5 style QTEs.
in Action/Adventure games, I expect to do half the shit I see done in QTE minus the QTE. In the case of bayonetta, the cutscene QTEs don’t even need to be there. just keep them cutscenes.
EDIT: as for the HDTV/SDTV bit, I blame the devs on that. Seeing Capcom intentionally made Lost Planet 1 and Dead Rising 1 for HDTV only (and at the time, HDTV was still pretty new to everyone.) so having to play that on a 19 inch tube TV was not fun. But I understand from that point. It’s a hassle as I’d like to record/stream some of this shit at times and having to downgrade and not seeing half the shit is pretty bad…even on a HDTV.
Yea the QTE are dumb if it’s your first time but it’s second nature after that. I guess it’s no big deal to me because I played Ninja Blade. That’s straight up QTE training.
I suppose this is a taste thing but music-wise I prefer DMC. It’s very close though. Although, this is almost a non-issue because IIRC the same person who made the music for DMC1 made the music for Bayonetta. Well not totally I guess since there’s 3 other DMC games and stuff.
Think I will pick up the Bayonetta soundtrack for the “Fly Me To The Moon” remix though. And it played while she was killing angels! HA HA big Evangelion nod.
And yeah, PS3 Leaderboards are not working for me either.
I was getting the R2 and L2 buttons switched up for a little bit last night and kept getting clobbered because I was switching weapons.
Now I got it down sorta and am dodging everything. I am enjoying the game even with the long loading. Platinum should send out something to PS3 owners for this. I mean I want to support them willingly and they give me this shit? I almost bought an X Box lol.
Witch Time the missles barrages before actually engaging the boats. After you witch time get on top of the boat and start wailing on it. Then theres also chains that’ll attack you while you’re on top of it so dodge the chains if it tries to hit you. Basically just dodge effectively then combo the boats, their health sucks so theyll go down quick.
Yeah the problem I was having was figuring out how to deal damage fast enough so as not to get owned by the other two boats laser beams from hell. I used PKP and charged the lighting claws on the P. Dished out enough damage fast enought hat I could move ot the next boat before they started shooting lasers at me.
if people are interested, Sega’s giving out 500 exclusive Bayonetta T-shirts. Just have to complete hard mode and take a picture of it along with sending your PSN ID/Gamertag to the email given.
So because I was too lazy to read an accessory’s explanation in the game I didn’t realize that I couldn’t use witch time for like 5 hard mode chapters lol. Now I took the item off and suddenly breezing through hard mode without much problems, well just at chapter 8 now.
So you keep your shit between difficulties and when you go back chapters, like in DMC, right? Because if that’s the case, I’ll settle for my non-platinum ratings for now until I can go back with more stuff.
This is yet another great thing about the game, imo… I love that there is so much “stuff” here. I’ve just barely scratched the surface of what it has to offer. I still haven’t purchased any of her “accessories”… I’m up to chapter 9 or so with just those guns and the katana. The only things I’ve bought have been new techniques. That move where she slides across the ground and then hits upward into the air is so damn hot, I can’t get enough of that…it’s like that 1 move they basically had at center-stage for the game “Wet”, except it looks 10x more badass. Then there’s that one where she makes a portal on the ground and falls thru it…then drops down from above to hit the enemy. The vision, artistry, choreography, etc. behind these moves and the action sequences in the game… it’s just on another level entirely.
