You need Sharla for some of the super bosses or enemies 10 levels higher than you, unless you get real lucky and time dunban's special movies.

I beat you last super boss the dragon on the mountain using Shulk, Rheyn and Dunban. It was GLORIOUS. Otherwise, Riki can replace Sharla easily. I almost beat the boss using Seven, Riki and Melia (her dropkick is awesome and useful) but in the the end I needed Shulk's shield and Rheyn's thick skull.

So I started playing the first Zelda for the first time and is there some way to speed up the rupie grind? I killed the bow dungeon boss with bombs because I couldn't afford arrows and the enemies never seem to drop any. And is there some way of getting more uses out of the candle? Looking for hidden passages by burning one bush at a time is also very annoying.

And is the money game in any way worth the trouble? "10 rupies to play! Well screw you have -40!".

Also something to note about the arrows is that they're not a kind of ammunition that can drop. You pay the one time fee to gain the ability to turn Rupees into arrows.

Oh wow so now I want to use it even less. It's too bad about the money grind because the game seems to hold up really well otherwise!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see how far I can get without resorting to using a map.

The same poo poo shows up in Chapter 3, which has like 10 or 11 verses. I was likely on my way to platinum the chapter, when I hosed up a pointless QTE. Or maybe it was the pointless bridge-falling-apart platforming part. Dying to poo poo like that shouldn't count as a continue...

I love Platinum games, but it's bullshit like that and failing no-hit runs in MGR due to machine gun fire from across the screen that makes me not give a drat about getting good ranks in them.

And falling through the bridge in the MC sequence.

They are defintely not random but sometimes it's almost impossible to figure out the button and timing without dying the first time, like after the dragon boss fight.

I haven't played Bayo 2 yet but in 1 using alternative clothes they cover her when she's using the weaves. Pretty logical since her standard outfit is made from her hair :gonk:

So they could have her there if they just make her put something on. Then again, she IS a character from a R-rated game so I doubt it will happen in any case.

The first sold over a million across X-Box 360 and PS3 with a strong presence in Japan.

Bayonetta 2 is a single-SKU release sold on a poorly-selling system that already solid less than a quarter of Bayonetta 1's initial sales in Japan. It ain't impossible for it do well but the odds are pretty slim. The reports about it being sold out suggest a very low print run, not gangbuster sales.

It sucks because it's probably the best game this year. :smith:

Crap, I'm abroad and won't be in my home region until next year. I searched the online stores and there are barely any Bayonetta1+2 packs left. I'm gonna have to call someone to pick it up! I don't even own a Wii U.

Her clothing?

That's her loving hair. And she's beating poo poo up with her hair. HAIR BASED COMBAT.

*Pushes rims of glasses*
Actually she's not beating stuff with her hair. She uses portals to summon creatures from hell to attack for her. The giant arms and legs she uses for her standard weaves belong to the demon she struck a deal with to gain her witch powers. The hair is used to "trap" the demons and make sure they don't leave hell and wreak havoc. That's why Bayonetta has chains in her hair.

The final Jeanne fight in the first Bayonetta is pretty much ensuring that I will not finish the game. It's too bad, because there has been so much :frogsiren: going on and I want to see what kind of crazy stuff happens next.

Try using the sword. If you have the time, charge it before attacking and it will do a ton of damage. If you keep the button pressed you can actually turn into a cat without loosing the charge, which lets you do hit and run attacks. And remember to dodge dodge dodge. Especially if you don't have the Moon parry item.

Otherwise, in my experience it pays of to be really aggessive and not let her breathe. Watch out for her weaves and you should be OK.

I wouldn't mind seeing the developers of Velocity 2X create a Metroidvania game with the same main character. She's a cocky blonde space hunter with a gun arm/hand, and her outfit looks like a mix of the zero suit and Iron Man's armor. The game is also really fun which doesn't hurt.

Have you fought double Grace and Glory yet? Don't quit before you do that.

Though if you do quit before you get to that loving turret boss then you are ahead of the curve no matter what.

Turret boss is really easy if you don't just hold the fire button but instead jam on it. Since you fire a shot for every button press you kill the boss MUCH faster. Also you can dodge from the firing position.

So I'm playing the Bayonetta series and playing as a titular witch that takes her clothes off and uses fetish attacks to kill archangels in a sexualised manner whilst suggestively sucking on lolly pops is somehow making me even more :gay:

I think the game is having the opposite effect of what the designers were originally going for with their key demographic.

Is Bayonetta considered a gay icon? Because if not then she needs to be!

Bayonetta is pretty awesome because people are still debating whether the games are exploitative or empowering, feminist or misogynistic/misandristic. I don't know about gay icon but I know quite a few guys refused to play it because of how "gay" the first game's presentation was.

MinionOfCthulhu posted:

Isn't the ending that she enters the real world and is on a train in France or some poo poo?

It's hard to put into words, but basically *MAJOR Lightning Returns SPOILERS*:

1) The world is destroyed, and EVERYONE except Lightning and Hope die. Lightning has freed their souls, though.
2) God creates a new world, and eats Hope's soul because why not.
3) God offers Lightning a job as the new Goddess of Death. Lightning goes "Sure, why not. I'll start with YOU!".
4) They fight IN SPACE. Every main character + their summons from FFXIII + Hope's mom show up, flying through space like pixies. They help destroy God with the power of friendship and laser beams. Think the final boss fights in FF4/5/6/7/8 but in an expensive cutscene.
5) Noel gets his girlfriend back while Gaius stays in the Nothing together with a couple thousand versions of her.
6) Lightning reunites with her sister. Everyone is happy! Like super happy!
7) Then everyone joins the rest of humanity's souls to be reborn (?) in the new world.
8) Lightning now lives in France.


It's completely bonkers and I love it. I'll take light-hearted silliness over the self-seriousness of FFXIII any day. LR made FFXIII and XIII-2 feel like setup for the punchline that is LR's ending. And I mean that in a positive way.

Very much so, even if their clothes don't fall off as far as I know. But I've had a lot of fun with the free version, playing with friends. It's not the deepest fighting game around, but it's fun and there's more to it than you might think.

It was one of the few things I enjoyed about that game. I can't stand the formula of entering a stage, find a star after five minutes, get kicked out, run back to the stage at the furthest end of the hub, repeat. It also gave me some kind of incentive to play the stages beyond "find more stars".

#FE looks like Persona without most of the elements that make Persona interesting and enjoyable. Also I can't stand the idol industry and this game completely revels in it, like a dog rolling in it's own poop. I haven't played any FE games either so that element is lost to me. There's literally zero reason for me to buy it, and I love RPGs.
