Looks like you get the Bayo 2 guns as a save transfer bonus and I assume the same goes for the Bayo 1 guns...Going to make myself not use them for the first playthrough lol. Sick as hell though

I'm also extremely into it, the intro to that chapter was so drat stylish lol

I'm immensely satisfied so far. Was a little worried about the demon summoning mechanic going in but after one session I love it, especially the combo enders. Those in particular make the typical bayo players PKP spam far less effective. All the new weapons I've used are unique as hell, even the new guns. I mostly breezed through getting platinum trophies in the lower 3 difficulties of Bayonetta 2 in my recent replay, but so far I've only gotten one and I'm glad of it, I've really gotta learn something new to get good ranks. Related to getting ranks though, the reset verse button in the pause menu is so sick

Viola is going to take some getting used to, though I changed her block to ZR for muscle memory's sake. I think I'll have a much easier time relearning to use R for movement than to use it to get witch time.

Definitely don't pass up the extra missions you get from getting the Crow, Cat and Frog in each chapter, I just got a Bayonetta 2 weapon and demon from one

I read the title of Chapter 9 and then had to go to work, I just know my fave demon is gonna be in that one lol

Love that there hasn't been a single boss only chapter all the way up to this point in the game, it's awesome

Got home and did chapter 9, its my favorite so far...so drat sick

Evil Eagle

I've thoroughly scoured each level looking for collectibles and witch hearts/moon pearls and I've only missed a few verses so far, the optional verses seem way less dumb to trigger than they are in bayo 1 and 2 lol

I memorized them all in 2 and I'm glad I won't have to do that again

Finished my first playthrough. I'll hold off on thoughts until more people are done but I loved it, certain parts of the end sequence blew my mind lol. Can't wait to spend a lot more time with this game.

sucking rear end with viola going through the chapters again, the enemies that split when they get hit too much by a demon are a real pain with her

I think there's still fun-stupid in spades but the plot itself is disconnected and not very good by virtue of being a multiverse story. I like the last 2 alternative universe Bayonettas more than the others, I thought they both had a decent spin on the "predetermined" universe falling apart stuff.

Dunno how far you are so I won't talk about Luka but his stuff doesn't rub me any sort of way for various reasons

viola is really fun to play as and the weird jeanne level was cool too. i appreciate how varied this game is w/o any of it feeling annoying, so far. just a wicked blend of fun ideas

There's a lot more gimmick verses than any other bayo but none of them take up a whole chapter and most of them are actually pretty fun. I can only think of a couple I don't like having to replay

No they're just achievements. I've tried to look up what the other million collectibles do but Google doesn't work any more so I just grab whatever seems easily reached.

The cards, figures and records add concept art, 3d models and music to the gallery, the tears of blood you get from animals unlock short bonus levels, and the medallion fragments or w/e unlock a short bonus boss

the rest are just health/magic upgrades, crafting materials and Lore

fighting huge enemies feels like a total mess in this which i dont remember being a problem in 2

there's way less massive enemies in 2, the one truly huge one that you fight without a gimmick like the umbran armor you can barely see its attack animations

is the overall playthrough grade just the lowest of the grades you got through all levels and not an average, i forget

If it's like 2, its an average that only gets updated when you beat the last chapter again
