I think I'll go back to Bayo 1 and get that completed on the Wii U 100% before going to infinite Climax for Bayo 2, as I'd like to get all the HP and MP upgrades first. Does the first game have the same "achievements" as it did on 360/PS3 where even after getting them all you still have quite a bit to unlock?

A neat thing I just discovered: the costume that changes Bayonetta to her appearance from the first game comes also with the Shuraba, the Scarborough Fair and their respective movesets.

3-Star Difficulty Tag Climax has boss invades while you fight regular enemies. It's ridiculously awesome.

Yeah, it's seriously a ton of fun to fight human enemies in tag climax. Even when they stomp all over you it's pretty drat cool and a lot of fun to just like fight enemies you already know.

I went out and got this today and it was actually kind of hard to find! Nice to see that it's selling. I'm replaying Bayo 1 first. The Link costume has a free parry built in, which is pretty loving cool. Free parry and another accessory slot? I don't see myself using any other outfit.

Suspicious Cook posted:Either Bayo 2 starts out way easier than 1 ever was or I'm a machine after all the practice I got from the first game. That's definitely not a complaint. Everything feels so much more fluid and amazing when I'm doing well. It starts out easier, yeah. But it gets pretty loving hard by about chapter 5 or 6 and by the time you reach the Depths... Unrelated, but I am stuck on a Muspellheim pretty late in the game. I can't touch the ground and I only have one pillar to stand on, an enemy will always break it and I can't damage him fast enough before I hit the ground. What's the trick here?

Going to take a Tag Climax break for a bit and finish up my second playthrough. I really want to get good enough to beat these 3 stars. Also, I got like 300k from one of the Tag Climax missions. It looks like you don't lose all of your winning when you die in the middle of a set.

Beat the game, although since it's Normal mode I hardly count it as a win. Really excellent. I have a few questions about the plot though. So...why did Jeanne get taken to Hell? Like, they make a big deal that it's really weird that the hell beasts stopped obeying Bayonetta, but I don't remember any particular explanation for why poo poo went wrong. And for that matter, what era is Balder from!? Is he from the past that Evil Aesir brought to the present to be a henchman or is he from the present and then sent back to the past or...like, how did he even end up in this at all? And, are we to assume that when he's dying in the Prologue, he's talking about Evil Aesir dying with him? So, basically, the stories make one resolved continual loop? Gotta say, though, the final boss was not nearly as awesome as the last boss of the first game, although I like his design.

Tsurupettan posted:http://www.nichegamer.net/2014/10/nintendo-teams-up-with-playboy-to-promote-bayonetta-2/ I don't think the outfit really works that well if your legs aren't like 4 times the length of your torso. It's a great recreation of the costume, though. The umbran mechs are also really cool. The actual gameplay with them is maybe a bit too simple, but their design is really neat. Also good for halo farming. chumbler fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Oct 27, 2014 |

BottledBodhisvata posted:So, basically, the stories make one resolved continual loop? Yes, this is the main point. Basically there are two timelines. In the first timeline, Balder sees Aesir kill Rosa, then is pulled into the future by Evil Aesir to kill Good Aesir. Balder chases Good Aesir around a bunch, and because of this Bayonetta gets launched back in time to when Rosa was killed. This starts a second timeline where she sucks Balder into a time portal after he sees Rosa die. Back in the present, they kill Evil Aesir and Balder sucks in his soul to make sure he can't escape, dooming him to eventually go mad and become a supervillain. At this point he returns to his own time for some reason, eventually growing into the Father Balder of the first game. Important to note is that the Balder you're with in the last chapter isn't the same one you've been fighting the whole game. Instead of Evil Aesir pulling him from the past, Bayonetta did. This does beg the question of where the Balder you'd been fighting went when the crazy time portal opened, since he apparently didn't go back 500 years with Bayonetta. Still, when Bayonetta pulled young Balder into the future, chances are the other Balder got Back-to-the-Future'd out of existence anyway, so it doesn't really matter. It makes perfect sense!

Yes but why does Gomorrah go rogue and attack Bayo in the first place? They keep talking about how weird it is that you're fighting Inferno monsters but they don't really explain it. Also Why are the angels and demons working together at the end? Is it because with Jubileus dead, the Angels are just listening to whatever the next biggest authority is, i.e. Evil Aesir? Or is this a plot hole?

There is no stated reason, it just happens. Presumably, some of the demons got fed up with working for Bayonetta and just decided they would rather kill her than remain contracted to her. It's honestly just a plot device so Jeanne dies and the events of the game can happen, there's even only like two boss fights with your former demons and the rest are just the forces of hell being like "Yo Jubileus is down, let's gently caress poo poo up." EDIT: The actual reason is probably hidden in datalogs, so look there I guess. Anyways, Witch Trial IV is a drat bitch and I need to finish those Muspellheim's I missed so I can get full health and witch power.

Yeah. Bayonetta is over 500 years old, and from the way she and Jeanne talk about it, it sounds like the balance of Heaven and Hell going out a whack is just something that happens from time to time. Either that or it'll be explained in Bayonetta 3 the same way Balder is explained in Bayo2.

It's because Balder died and took the Right Eye with him. With the Eye of Light down, the galactic yin-yang goes all off-kilter and suddenly Inferno is feeling frisky because they're the best game in town.

Put a couple of hours into Bayo 1 tonight on the WiiU and I'm falling in love all over again. This is seriously the best most fluid action game (gently caress Ninja Gaiden). Its an utter joy to play. It's also nice not to deal with the ps3 version anymore, although there have been a few hiccups in the frame rate.

And since you kill Inferno's ruler next, that's a great way of explaining the final approach to the mountain. The angels and demons aren't trying to keep you from the mountain, they're just out for revenge and have set their differences aside to kill Bayonetta.

Inferno's ruler is Queen Sheba, I think Alraune was just some broad on a power trip. The demons in general probably aren't pleased with anyone trying to escape their plane, though.

I'm halfway through Bayonetta 1, I think and I am absolutely getting wrecked by Grace and Glory, and I've met their meaner cousins Gracious and Glorious. Is there anything I should do to make it easier to fight them? So far I've just been falling back on the Link costume's inherent parry to mitigate some damage, but it's hard to parry a dude who decides to attack from offscreen.

For Grace and Glory, I found it easiest to focus on one and do all your work during Witch Time when you're safe. The claws the dead one drops will help with the second one. The golden versions that don't give you Witch Time are just plain unfair. The best I can say for them is to remain defensive as possible and only work in a couple hits before dodging away at the first sign of retaliation. You might not get big combo scores but you will survive. Probably.

Grace and Glory aren't too tough once you get the timing down to dodge to witch time, rack up some hits and torment attack the fuckers. I go for the blue one first, but maybe that's just me. The golden versions can go gently caress themselves. I've only met them once, and boy are they some bastards. Dodge like hell and get used to dodge interrupting combos to land some wicked weaves whenever possible. That's the best strategy I've got.
