jeez, i'm nerd-gasming.

yeah, playing NG2 before it is a good idea...after all, if you force yourself to play something shitty as hell before this game, it'll make it all the more fun.

yeah, you get ingredients from breaking stuff. there's 3 colors-- red, yellow, green. you use them to make health potions (green herbs), something that raises your strength, and another that raises your defense, I think. the last two are temporary.

I'm starting to get my ass seriously kicked, so I've been grinding to get all the techniques and stuff. A lot of the regular enemies are like bosses from other games...agni and rudra are regular enemies in this.

Play other games while you're waiting for this because nothing else will ever be fun again. It's basically DMC4, if Kamiya had made it. DMC4 actually feels like more of a spin-off in retrospect compared to this game. And of course, the Bayonetta/Jeanne scenes are totally dante and virgil.

And what you have played so far is absolutely nothing in comparison to what's coming later.

Ichirou · « **Reply #724 on:** January 01, 2010, 09:44:52 PM »

They're not potions, though...they're lollypops.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #725 on:** January 02, 2010, 12:59:38 AM »

just fought the chapter 7 boss.

game of the gen.

I got all the techniques, but now I'm looking at these accessories, which look like they're going to make the combat even deeper. If you can equip 3 at once and each one has it's own technique/attribute, then you're basically making DMC styles out of the accessories (looks like there's about 20 you can buy.) Some of them have DMC-esque techniques, like royal guard type shit. In other words, it has a customizable style system. Jesus fucking christ

There's one that activates witch time automatically whenever you get hit...I would skip that one unless you have trouble with witch time timing. The Moon of Maaha Kaala (sp?) should be the first one you get. Start saving up halos.

It's a celebration, bitches!!!

Ichirou · « **Reply #734 on:** January 02, 2010, 11:29:03 PM »

Odette + the katana are my two favorite weapons to use in the game.

drew · « **Reply #735 on:** January 02, 2010, 11:30:17 PM »

yeah i got that spoiled for me reading the ign review

in the future please put weapon spoilers (yes weapons are spoilers) in the conviently provided spoiler brackets

edit: you know what fuck it im just going to blackout and only visit this thread to post impressions/after im done with my first runthrough

carry on

Ichirou · « **Reply #736 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:29:49 AM »

Weapons are spoilers? Really?

OK, man.

drew · « **Reply #737 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:38:20 AM »

i was referring to kranzes post about ice skates

but yeah, it is, think about it, action games have 3 things:

art style, stupid story, and weapons

knowing about all the weapons and items before you play through the game can suck the fun out of it

ok now im out for reals

Ichirou · « **Reply #738 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:48:22 AM »

The katana has been mentioned in most of the reviews so I thought it'd be OK to mention it. I guess you're right, though. Being surprised by the weapons you get was part of the fun of my playthrough.

drew · « **Reply #739 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:57:43 AM »

like i said i wasnt talking to you, the katana was in the demo and i obviously have no idea what that other word means

Does someone know what exactly taunts do?

I am on ch 9(hard) and it just hit me,why i am not using taunts?!

I have found something on gamefaqs that explains some things,
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=946346&topic=52473093

Has anybody here has been experimenting with taunts?

Ichirou · « **Reply #748 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:45:06 AM »

Taunts make enemies angry (you'll notice that they'll start looking like they're on fire). They'll become faster and harder to beat.

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #749 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:22:17 AM »

No spoilers you feggits.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #750 on:** January 03, 2010, 09:37:32 AM »

there's an achievement for beating 5 devil triggered enemies without getting hit that doesn't seem to be working. I taunt enemies in every fight (you get more combo points for beating taunted enemies) and it hasn't worked yet. I'm wondering if it's 5 in a row (that would be a more fun achievement.)

Ichirou · « **Reply #751 on:** January 03, 2010, 10:22:05 AM »

Later on you can buy an item that makes all enemies enraged, and you can get that achievement really easily.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #752 on:** January 03, 2010, 10:39:20 AM »

Cool, maybe I'll buy that one next.

I'm up to chapter 12, will beat it today.

Remember people:

-kya hahaha

Ichirou · « **Reply #753 on:** January 03, 2010, 11:03:19 AM »

I didn't even touch easy mode until I beat the game on normal.

I switched to easy mode for a few of the achievements, though. *cough*

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #754 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:10:14 PM »

which ones did you get in easy mode? (also, the pic was just in general, not at you specifically...just in case heh)

at this point I'm trying to do alright, but I'm using items and stuff; only grinded to get the parrying armlet. I die a couple times a chapter. Those enemies that are a combination of Agni+Rudra+the electric demons from DMC4 always get me. I just wanna beat the game once so I can get the menu option that shows you all your chapter scores at once. Then shit is on.

The armlet that lets you parry is fucking great!

Third Strike

and if that's a weapon spoiler, then maybe it's time for a proper bayonetta thread that people can steer clear of.

Ichirou · « **Reply #755 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:20:30 PM »

The naughty tentacles one (just because the tentacles show up at around 3/4 of the level and I didn't want to fight seriously just to get to that point) and the 'fire all afterburners' pure platinum one in chapter XIV verses 1 & 2.

Yeah, I fucking HATE that duo of demons.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #756 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:25:33 PM »

They are fucking hard, though they attack a lot, so it's easy to get witch time. the basic PKP combo decimates them pretty fast...you won't get a good grade for the fight, but you'll survive.

I think my favorite enemies are the chicks who are like Nicchae and Ishtaros from NG. It's cool that there are so many references to past action games! I hope this sells well so we get a sequel.

Ichirou · « **Reply #757 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:40:52 PM »

I've never played DMC or NG so I'm not getting any of your references...probably a good thing because now Bayonetta is starting to sound derivative.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #758 on:** January 03, 2010, 01:12:19 PM »

nah, they're tasteful references...and the enemies have their own behaviors in Bayonetta. for one thing, the characters I'm mentioning are like "oh fuck" bosses in DMC and NG, but they're regular enemies here.
