Bayonetta 2 (Wii U, published by Nintendo)

[Yoshi]

I can't wait to get to it. After two games with a lot of darkness and sneaking, I'm looking forward to brightness and speed.

Only complaint I have is the dialog. Platinum tried too hard with the M rating by adding in the word fuck, a lot. It's extremely forced and retarded.

Enzo being more ridiculous and obscene can only HELP this game.

It'd only be forced if it was Bayonetta saying it. It's not.

MOOOOOOTHERFUUUUUUCKER

Finished it. GOTY so far, bar none.

If there's any advice I can offer, don't start on Climax 3. There's only one difficulty higher than it and there's no rush. You're not even close to a complete character until you buy all the moves and some weapon alts. I forced myself through it thinking it was a typical Platinum game with like 6 difficulty settings.

I also think the final boss was probably a tad bit underwhelming considering some of the other setpieces in the game. By far the best segment was the Witch Hunt part where you get to kick ass with your mom.

Yeah, I loved that part so much. Your mom (said in a serious way, not the TNL way) is so badass, and having a segment like that with a relationship moment like that was equal parts awesome and emotional.

I started on Climax 3 and don't regret it at all, though I pretty much always want my first playthrough of games in this genre to be tough. Currently on Chapter XIII and really couldn't be happier with this game. I'm getting weirdly strong Ninja Gaiden vibes from it.

Bayonetta really is the best character.

Finally got mine from Amazon, but I'm going to play through the first game since I never competed it on the 360.

It seems pretty much everyone loves this game, it's been a while since I've seen a game so universally praised by real people.

I'll pick this up next week. I made a choice between this and Hyrule Warriors and I want to dig into that 1st before I play Bayonetta. I'm stoked to really dig into both.

My issue is that you're obviously not equipped to deal with some of the crap you get into early on, leading to lots of Enzo stone medals. Which leads to shit for halos, so you can't buy the upgrades you obviously need to do better and get more. I can appreciate a challenge but it's obvious the curve was built for starting with Climax 2.

[Tain]

I haven't felt that way at all. I do get the occasional stone verse, but I've been upgrading at a pretty similar pace to what I was when I first played Bayonetta on Normal.
